june 25.-Three miles beyond Mar
insburg we were forced by the state of
our horses to insist upon receiving the
unwilling hospitality of a very suriy
native, who was evidently Unionist in
his proclivities. We were obliged to- turn
our horses into a field to Craze during
the night. This was most dangerous, for
the Confederate soldier in spite of his
many virtues, is, as a rule, the most in

Lawley being i'll, he declined starting in
the rain, and our host became more and
more surIy when we stated our intention
of remaining with him. However, the
sight of real gold instead of Confederate
paper, or even green backs, soothed him
wonderfully, and he furnished us with
some breakfast.
All this time McLaws's Division was
passing the door, but so strict was the
discipline, that the only man who Ioafed

therefore mounted his horse a little be-

He told me (Which did not know that

who relies very much upon his judgment.
By the soldiers he is invariably spoken OF
as Fthe best fighter in the whole army"

it might be fair, in Just retaliation, to

Lieut.. Andrew S. Rowan, 10Th u s., has
been appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the
9th U. s. Vols, one of the immune regi-
ments. Gen. Miles, in recommending
Rowan for the appointment, in reference
to the Lieutenant's recent Cuban trip, said ::
Lieut.. Rowan made journey across
Cuba, was with the insurgent army under
Gen. Garcia, and brought most important
and valuable information to the Govern
ment. This was most perilous under
taking, and, in my judgment, Lieut. Rowan
performed an act of heroism and cool
daring that rarely has been excelled in the
annals Of warfare.'
Lieut.. Rowan was born in Virginia, and
appointed from West Virginia July 1, 1877,
and received his First Lieutenancy Nov. %,
1880, when in the 9th Inf, being transferred
July 20, 1891.

COL. FRED TX. FUNSTON
Will Return to His Old Home
in Kansas as Soon
AS He Can Get Cured = Has
Sworn to Fight No More.

New York, Jan. 11.-Fred K. Funston,
who arrived in New York from Cuba
yesterday, bears the rank of lieutenant
colonel He is a son of former Con-
gresham E. H. Funston, of lola, Kan.
He tells an interesting story of how he
came to attain the highest rank held
by an American in the insurgent ranks.
4 went to Cuba in August, 1885, he
said, "as a member of the Cabrera

men. On landing 1 took command of
GOmez's artillery with the rank of cap

and at the siege of GuenarO, where Os-
good, the American football player and
then chief of artillery, was killed. Upon
OsgoOd's death 1 became chief of artil-
lery with the rank of major. 1 took
part in % battles in eastern Cuba I

States, now of the Cuban forces. We
were surprised by a party of six Span

and taken to Puerto Principle, where
Gen. Castinello conducted a special
board of inquiry to investigate my case.

back to Cuba. 1 shall go to a hospital
here and then to my home in Kansas.
The outcome of the struggle in Cuba
depends altogether on the United
States. The Cubans will never give
up, nor will the Spaniards.'
Colonel Funston said that the insur-
gent soldiers and officers are not paid
and cannot be paid in full unless they
win, in which case Colonel Funston
would receive about $4,000. He said
the food and clothing of the insurgents
is poor and their living precarious, but
their courage and hope are unbounded.
He said that the Spanish soldiers also
were not paid, but were fairly well fed.
Colonel Funston said that while a pris-
Oner at Puerto Principe he was well
treated by the Spanish soldiers and
found no evidence of discomfort in their
ranks. He declared that the atrocities
upon women and children reported
petrated by the guerrillas, and not by
the regular troops. On the guerrilIas,
he admitted, the insurgents often took
their revenge.

Bridgeport. Conn. Jan. 1.-THE Rev.
William McNichOl, pastor of the Grace
NJ. E. church, this city, has just issued
a directory of the church, which is
looked upon with amazement. Mr..
McNichol strikes out right and left,
and hits a head whenever one appears.
Even President Mckinley, whom he
dubs His Sickness, is not spared
The directory, from a financial stand
point, is a success, as each alternate
page contains advertisements for which
a liberal price is paid. The directory
has resulted in some of the trustees re-
signing, and it is feared many members
of the congregation will follow.
Mr.. Nichol pays his respects to Presi-

Of his church and contempt of the pub

ALGER TO GO AWAY.
The Secretary Will Leave Washing
ton Until He Gets Well.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Alarming stories
sent throughout the country relative to
the condition of Secretary Alger have
caused the issue of a formal statement
from Assistant Secretary AIefklej john, after
consultation with Captain Woods, the
army surgeon, who has been attending
the secretary during his illness, which
has now lasted a month. It is said that
he was attacked originally by the grip,
and this left in its wake a low type OF
fever. not typhoid. as has been reported.
which weakened the patient considerably
The persistency of Secretary A1ger in
keeping at his work, even while confined
to his ROOM undoubtedly retarded his re-
covery very much, but he was finally in
duced to give over the attempt to look
after the department business until he
was able to get about again. 1t is said
that this morning the fever has complete
" disappeared and that the secretary is
stronger. He still remains in bed by di-
rection of DR.. Woods, but the physicians
saw by the end of this week or early next
week Secretary Alger will be able to leave
Washington for some point not yet Sc
lected, probably on the seashore, to con-
valesce.

SOME LELAND GOSSIP.
Part of Which Sounds Very Cosby
and Diaphanous.

Cy Leland has gone to Washington, it
is said, to attempt to prevent the con-
firmation of William E. Sterne as United
States marshal What Leland proposes
to do has not been unearthed, but rumor
has it that he proposes to attack Mr.
Sterne's personal character Leland
placed charges against Sterne with some
of his political friends at Washington to
use against Sterne, but Mr.. Bristow
feared to file the documents with the de-
partment and they We're not heard of.
There is another rumOr which the poll
ticians are greatly excited about, and that
is to the effect that Leland told some of
his close friends here before going to
Washington that if Sterne was not de-
feated and the bill for new federal dis
trict passed so he could give Lit Crum a
job, he would resign as pension agent
and secure the appointment of Crum to
that position.
There are few men in town who believe
this.

ORDER FOR ARMY SHOES.
Manufacturers to Be Asked to Submit
Propositions for $4,000 Pairs.

Washington, D. c., Jan. list. Louis
shoe manufacturers have an opportunity
to secure a big order from the war depart
ment. The quartermaster general of the
army has directed the depot quartermas-
ter at Philadelphia to purchase 25OO0 pairs
of shoes of the pattern which has been
undergoing test at various army posts.
The shoes will be bought in all sizes
and propositions will be solicited from
New England and the western shoe man
ufacturers. 1t is the intention of the
quartermaster general to make no issues
of the new shoes during the present year
There is at present in stock a sufficient
supply to meet the demand during that
period. The purchase of 5000 pairs is
made at this time with the idea that the
gear may be retained and seasoned in
store.
