of the new district brought down on

CHEERED THE CENSOR.

How 3 Gallant Irish Regiment Took An
After Battle Scolding.
The leading regiment Of our column
was the Fifty-third, commanded that
day by Major Payn, afterward General
Sir William Payn, 4. C. B., very
fine regiment, who, being mostly Irish
men, we're eager to meet their enemy.
Meanwhile received orders to cross
the river by ford and get round the
enemy's right flank. and had gone for
this purpose, and was crossing about a
quarter of mile lower down, when
suddenly I heard loud cheering and O
heavy musketry fire, and then saw
our troops CALAMITY advancing across
the bridge to the assault. 1t turned out
to be the Fifty third, who, tired Of the
delay under fire, and. it was whispered,
hearing that Sir Colin had sent for his
pet Highlanders to take the bridge,
took their bits between their teeth and
without any further orders determined
to rush the bridge themselves-which
they accordingly did, and with great
success. The enemy, once forced out of
their position, showed but poor des-
ultory fight. and. as at Cawnpur. fell
an easy prey to the cavalry, who, hav-
ing crossed, some by the bridge. and
others, including myself, by the ford,
fell on them and pursued them with
such success that we captured every
gun they had.
The Fifty third were well pleased
with themselves and the result of the
fight they had SO suddenly initiated.
But we heard that Sir Colin was great
y annoyed with them, and after the
action rated them soundly for their in
subordination But little did these wild
Irishmen care; they had had their fight,
and real good one, so far as they
were concerned, and as Sir Colin COM
clnded his speech Of rebuke they gave
him three cheers, and giving three
cheers more for General Mansfield. Sir
Colin 3 chief Of the staff (who had for
merly commanded their regiment). they

at the same time cleared away his
wrath. -. Old Memories" BY General

The Million Dollar Issue Will Not Be Hall

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Cuban
junta at New York has had coined
100000 handsomely designed silver
souvenir dollars, for which the demand
is so great from all sections of the coun-
try the junta is unable to supply it.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Jacob
Aston of New York took 500, 900 of these
coins at face value and deposited them
with a trust company as an expression
of their confidence in eventual Cuban
independence. In any event they can
only lose the difference between the
face value and the bullion value. Sew.
eral thousand of these dollars have al
ready been sent to Washington to sup.
ply the demand here, but the demand
is SO largely on the increase it looks as
if the junta will be obliged to duplicate
