ed by sharpshooter who was located
in tree top. He could be plainly made
out, but the range was too far for ouI
army muskets. a Berdan rifle was sent
for, and when 1t arrived our captain
put 1t into the hands of Corporal Davis
and said:
you are by long odds the best shot
IN our company. With a dead-rest over
that log you can tumble that man out
of his tree"
Davis hung back and turned pale.
Just then a brigadier rode up to give
an order, and his horse had scarcely
come to halt when a bullet from the
sharpshooter passed through the gen.
erals hat. He was not only a bit
startled, but inclined to reprlmand that
the fellow had not been disposed of.
When he saw the heavy rifle in the
hands of the pale-faced and hesitating
corporal he shouted out:
Hurry up, man, and tumble him out
Of that before he can reload If you
bring him down I'll ask your captain
to make sergeant of you five minutes
laterr'
Davis advanced to a stump a few
feet away and knelt down and sighted
his rifle across it. We who knew his
craftsmanship felt sure that his bullet
would speed true. He took long aim,
and we were holding our breath to hear
the report Of the rifle, when he drew
back, rose up and said:
II can't shoot that mani"

mouth when the man in the tree fired

dead man.

in rear of us and warning each man to
aim low. l heard him cursing Davis,
and twice after that, ere we fell back,
/ saw the man firing into the tree tops.
The enemy crowded us back day by
day and mile by mile, and there was
fighting over every foot of the high
ways. We had a fierce grapple at Fair
Oaks and again at Savage Station, but
all l knew of Davis was that he was
with us. 1t was only when weturned at
bay at Malvern Hill that l found my
self beside him again. He had been
three times grazed by bullets, and that
was proof that he had stood up to
soldiers work. Our regiment was sta
toned at the base of the hill, strung
along in the bed of dry creek, and the
banks gave us protection and a rest for
our muSketS. AS the enemy came
swarming across the open every man
was a fair target. l had fired three or
four times when my musket fouled, and
as l waited to clear 1t l watched Davis.
He was firing over the heads OF the
enemy by thirty feet. Our position was
one which could not be carried. The
enemy realized this at last, and the
battle began to die away. On our front
we had only dead and wounded men,
as far as we could see. and all firing
had ceased, when a man suddenly rose
up from the ground about a pistol shot
away and stood staring at us. A thou
sand men shouted at him to come and
surrender, but after a moment he turn
ed his back and began moving away. l
do not know why any Of the hundreds
of men who had him in range did not
fire. but they did not. Some were even
cheering the man, when on officer Of
artillery jumped down among US and
shouted:
"Shoot him-shoot him-why don't
some Of you bring him down"
His words were heard by fifty men,
but not gun was raised. The officer
was storming at us when Davis sud.
denly lifted his musket and fired, and
the retreating man flung up his arms,
whirled about and sank down. Curses
and groans followed, and Davis threw
down his gun and hid his face in his
hands and sobbed.
"A splendid shot!" cried the officer,
"and If 1 were your captain you would
be corporal tomorrow
Davis had done strange thing. We

the porporaps sleeves, and Poor Davis
skunk away in disgrace. Here was a
strange thing. A soldier who did not
hesitate to put himself in a position to
be killed could not be induced to fire
upon the enemy. His soldierly quail
ties were such that he had been taken
out of the ranks, and yet he refused
to carry out soldiers first duty-to
kill. We could not call him coward
no man Is coward who will face death
but we called him strange and Won
dered what was back of 1t all. The
men of the company fell away from
him. and in few days he stood almost
alone. When we followed up the enc
my after Yorktown there was some
heavy skIrmlshing with the rear guard.
Ambrose Davis was with the company,
and upon one occasion, when the hun
dred charged and captured gun, he
led us all In the rush and was the first
man to put hand on it. After that we
said 1t was case of "nerves," or that
he had hereditary fear of shedding
blood, and he was looked upon more
favorably.
We saw nothing more OF the strange
ness" Of Ambrose Davis until the battle
which drove Mcclellan to make q
change of base. For half a day our reg
iment stood in battle line, waiting to at
tack or be attacked, and during this in
terval our company lost two men killed
and three wounded. 1t required all the
nerve the men could work up to stand
there and be shot at without firing a
shot In return, but Davis showed no
more nervousness than any of the rest.
When at length we moved by the left
flank for quarter OF a mile and then
dropped down to open fire and hold our
ground, Davis was the man on my left
and as l loaded my musket noticed
that he was firing high. Five minutes

OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Berlin Newspaper Speaks of German
Policy at Manila.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-The semi-oflcial
published a statement on the subject
of German policy at Manila, based on
official reports, explaining that this
was done with the view of correcting
misrepresentation in foreign newspa-
pers"
1t says that for the purpose of afford
ing the German colony immediate shell
ter in case of need some chartered
steamers were anchored near the Ger
man warship Irene in the Pasig river,
under the protection of the armed
boats. The French and British colo
Inies, the statement continues, followed
this example.
A~guinaldo, still according to the
North German Gazette, gave Rear Ad-
miral Dewey a written assurance that
the insurgents would act humanely, and
at Aguinaldo's request, and with Ad-
miral Dewey's approval, the command
er of the Irene took four Spanish ladies
and six children from the province OF
Bataan under his protection and plac-
ed them on board a chartered steamer,
every step being taken with a thorough
lily friendly understanding with Ad-
miral Dewey and Captain General Au-
gusti.
The North German Gazette adds:
THE imperial consulate at Manila
has under its protection not only Ger.
man residents, but subjects Of Italy
Austria, Switzerland, Holland and
Portugal, to all Of whom protection Of
the warships will be, II necessary, sim
ilarly extended"

CONNECTING LINK.


San Francisco, Aug 1.-The steamer
Doric from Hong Kong today brings
the following letter from the cores
pendent of the Associated Press at
Manila, under the date Of July /:
Another link was added to the chain
of territory which connects the United
States with their newly acquired for
eign possessions in the Pacific ocean on
June q, for upon that date Captain
Glass of the United States ship Charles
ton captured the Ladrone islands, with
out the Spanish Offering the slightest
resistance.
From a strategic point of view, it
was a very important capture, for the
harbor of San Luis d'Apra, on the west
coast of the main island, Guam, is an
ideal coaling station, and while the
whole group will undoubtedly prove
to be of incalculable value to the Unit
ed States, it commends itself as the
most valuable of all the newly acquir-
ed possession on account of its
situation. 1t lies $500 miles west by
south of Honolulu, 1850 miles south
east of Yokohama, 1,50O miles east of
Luzon, the principal island Of the
Philippine group, thus being the con
Meeting link between the United States
and the orient.
For three days the Charleston's run
from Guam to Manila was without in
cident, but on June %, shortly after
Point Engana, the nOrtheasterly cape
of Luzon island, had been sighted, a
strange steamer appeared on the hori-
zon. The Charleston was Immediately
cleared for action and after the convoy
had fallen into line in her wake, prep
arations were made for giving the
stranger a warm reception should she
prove to be hostile.
"She turned out to be the United
States ship Baltimore. however. which
had been waiting for the fleet for ten
days"

commissioner Of live stock, states that the
correspondence received from intending ex-
hibitor, is far larger in advance of the date
II the closing of entries than it was at the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago. If Mr..
Dinsnorc's expectations are fulfilled the ex
hibition of live stock at Omaha will lie one
of he finest ever given i'll the country.
a sum of s55 900 was set aside by the di-
rcCtors of the Exposition To be awarded as
cash prizes to livestock exhibitors. The In
ion Stock Yards Company of South Omaha
and a number of the breeders associations
and other live stock organizations offer addi-
,ional prizes; the total amount offered as pre-
miums to live stock exhibitors being not far
short of 10000.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEW

Washington, Aug 2-The president,
it is understood, takes the grounds
that the requirements Of the volunteer
act for the disbandOnment of volun-
teers on the termination of the war
does not contemplate a disarmament
until emergencies incident to this wal
are owe and does not prevent the
maintenance of a large body of troops
in the territorial accessions until order
Is restored. A well known public man,
who was in conference with the presi-
dent today suggested that the necessary
military occupation Of our conquered
territory would involve the mainten-
ance for two years of an army of about
10O, 900 men.
