The Last Bugle-Cal1.

Ine Last buSIe-N all.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat has
discovered that the last summons to
battle in the Civil War was bugle- call
to charge. given by Nathaniel Sisson
on the field of Appomattox.
Mr.. Sisson enlisted when the war
broke out. and at its close was bugler
under Custer His regiment was in the
saddle before day on the eventful Sth
day of April. and began TO skirmish
with the enemy. An hour later they
memorable call to charge was blown.
The next moment two of General
GortOn's aids rode out i'm advance of
the column. One of them carried q
towel fastened to Il musket. General
Gordon stated afterward that the tow
ell was soiled and ragged; but, old and
torn rs it was, it carried message of
peace to the whole country.
General Custer. seeing this flag of
truce, halted his charging column. and
rode alone to the tent of the Confeder-
ate general. When he came out he said
to General Kapehart, uncovering his
head. General Lee is treating for
capitulation.'
The war was over.
The men nearest to him caught the
quiet words and burst into frenzied
cheer. They were men who had fought
brayely. but who thanked God now
that the war was ended. The cheer
swept down the valley, and the hills
shook with the shout-which meant
peace.
Let us hope that Nathaniel Sisson's
buglecall to battle on that April morn
ing was the last that shall ever sum-
mon brother to charge against brother
in this land of ours.

Captain Smith Thinks 1t Will Ulti-

Chicago, Sept. Although sworn to Il
temporary secrecy as to the evidence he
gave before the committee on foreign
relations in Washington recently, Cap
tain d. w. Smith of the Cuban revolu-

eral MaNimo Gomez body guard, has at
last seen fit to break silence in regard
to some of the more important of the
ends sought to be attained by him in
his mission to this counry as the personal
representative of the commander in chief
of the patriot forces of Cuba.
None of the testimony that | gave
on Cuban affairs has yet leaked out, :,
said Captain Smith. 'Now, however, |
consider myself free to say that copy
of my testimony was sent to President
Mckinley for his consideration, and our
friends i'll Washington are now in a po-

that Cuba's cause will surely triumph

confesson of weakness, an augury OF
impending final defeat and of the loss

General Gomez and the Cuban patriots
