A TRICK IN BATTLE.
The Enemy Was Led to Make Charge by
Feigned Confusion.
IPittsLurq Dispatchl


Feigned Confusion.
IPhtsJurg Dispatchl
The enemy is making some movement in
fhe strip of woods on our immediate front
We throw few shells in that direction. We
notice that we are receiving flattering atten.
ton from the rebel batteries Cast-iron
enough TO make junk man rich is showered
upon us. Two batteries now gallop out oil
the woods on our front and commence to shell
us. Brayely our men stand TO their work
The supporting cavalry in our rear seem TO be
getting the worst of it. There must be al
least 20 rebel guns playing Oh our six. A
reserve battery of six 12pounders is sent 10
our aid. We sandwich them among our own
and soon their deafening roar encourages our
men TO renewed effort.
The enemy's battery on orr front have
ceased their fire, but those OH the hill still
continue to pound us. Our glasses tell
us why the guns opposite are silent The
pickets of another fence are coming out of the
woods, and, presto the fence is built The
pickets are tipped with glittering bay0nets,
and as ii moves forward another fence is built
in the rear, and behind the second appears a
third. That looks serious for us Orders are
quickly given to bring up the canister. lay it
on the ground beside the guns and cover il
with small tarpaulins. Leutenants and Ser
geants are called up and we instruct them to
play the Yankee trick on our foes
The deadly fences with their glitterinc tins
slowly advance. Boom, boom, thunder our
guns, and we see the palings knocked off and
sometimes whole panels cut ont, but the fence
is quickly repaired and on it sweeps with ter
rible earnestness, apparently little needing
our fire. They are within canister range.
They halt and give us sharp volley from
their muskets. Now comes our Yankee trick.
We are apparently thrown into confusion
our fire ceases, the men run from their guns,
and the officers and non commissioned officers
attempt TO drive them TO their posts.
The horses are brought up, and lust rs we
are about TO attach the guns to the limbers
the rebel yell comes from 5000 Threats, and.
in the eagerness to capture us, their splendid
formation Is broken and they rush forward
like mob, every man for himself This is
just what we had planned
Davy, the little bugleT, sitting on his horse
beside u.s. his bugle held inst in front of his
MISUNDERSTANDING lips, turns his eyes to-
ward us Tor the word. A nod is given him,
and ta-ra-ra, the notes leap from his bu0le
the apparently-demoralize gunners leap TO
their guns the black monsters leap back with
the recoil from their double charges of can
lister, and death and destruction are sent
sweeping into the ranks of the over-confident
mob. They don't seem to realize the situa-
ton, their front recoils, their rear presses for
ward. All are thrown into confusion and soon
their flight takes place, leaving their dead
and wounded. Our Yankee trick is successful.

ALWAYS IN FOND REMEMBRANCE
DEAR L.H.W. AND &C FRIENDS: Having
returned recently from trip in northern
Iowa viii let my friends of the &C. know
am still interested in the progress Of our noble
band. Words are inadequate to express my
disappointment in not being able to attend the
Reunion at Louisville. At the time of the Re-
union ] was preparing for my Western trip,
consequently i was Obliged TO give up the
pleasant time ] had anticipated at the Re-
union.
Through orr sister, Maggie Funk, / was
given interesting account OF the trip and
the delightful lime she had with J.. H. w. and
&C. friends. Sister Maggie and ] were room
mates at Pi4tsburg. and from that acquaintance
has developed true friendship.
While away from home / did not have the
opportunity OF reading the columns of the
dear old NATIONAL TRIBUNE. In my absence
OF three months / was not favored with the
sight of copy, neither did have the good
fortune Of meeting any Iowa Co.'S l have
formed some very dear friends through THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE. i shall always cherish
fond remembrance for the many friends /
met at Pittsburg in 1894.

We have two topics. and will most profit by
keeping them separate. First. ST. John Baptist
declares TO the crowds that One is to come who
shall fulfill prophecies of the Old Testament,
who shall be the expected Messiah. When
Jesus appears St. John Baptist recognizes him
and baptizes him. The conduct Of the fore

always prove a useful study for old and young

Affair Investigated and the Japs
ReIeased-Luna Discharged.
The japanese inspector, Mr.. Igirashi
and a representative of the japanese
Consul-Gen returned yesterday af-
ter an investigation of the troubles on
Olawalu plantation, which resulted in
the arrest of fifty Japanese on the
charge of riot.
1t seems, from information at hand,
that the luna had put some new and
Objectionable rules into operation and
the laborers called a meeting that
night TO consider what action they
should take. One of the rules of the
plantation is that lights should be put
out at p. m, and as the meeting con-
tinued later than that hour the luna at
tempted TO disburse them. Resistance
was offered and he is said to have
drawn his revolver and fired a shot
through the roof of the house where
the men were. The luna denied this,
saying he had been attacked with stones
and fired in the air The investigation
showed the hole in the roof and the
wounded Japanese, but it could not be
proven whether the wound and the
hole in the roof were from a bullet or
a stone, as the wound was merely an |
abrasion of the skin.
After hearing testimony the planta- |
ton manager discharged the luna from |
his employ and the Japanese from |
Jail. 1t was agreed, however, that the |
TWO ring-leaders of the Japanese were
to be discharged from the employ of
he company.
