 American Fleet. THE STEADY THUNDER OF CANNON Was Something Terrible, and One Time ltlooked as if Dewey's Squadron Would Be

 a Line of Fire.

San Francisco, June T.--Among the pas sengers who arrived on the Belgic today from Hong Kong were four men who par ticipated in the fight of Manila bay on May l. They are Paymaster c. A. Loud, of tho dispatch boat McCulloch, Dr. Charles F. Kindleberger, surgeon of the Olympia; Ralph Phelps, secretary of the captain of the McCulloch and J. s. Evans, gunner Of the Boston. They left Manila on May 5. Dr. Klndleberger and Gunner Evans are going home on account of expiration Of their sea time. Paymaster Loud and MT. Phelps are here on business and will re- turn to the McCulloch., They all speak of the valor and determination of their opponents in the battle of Manila. They say that the Spaniards fought bravely, even after the last vestige of hope had gone and stayed by their guns as long as they could be used.
 Dr. Kindleberger gives a graphic account of the terrific fight. He was on the Olym- pia through 1t all. In the first assault the flagship took the lead, the other vessels following in her wake at four ships lengths. The Spanish fleet was approached by laps, each turn bringing the contestants nearer together. By this plan the American yes- sels frequently poured broadsdes into the enemy, but were themselves more exposed to fire. At one time the smoke came so dense that it was necessary to draw aside, allowing the cloud to lift. The vessels were examined and it was found they had sus- tained no damage. Breakfast was served to the men and in a few minutes they re- entered the fight with the greatest enthu-

When the Belgic left Hong Kong, May 10, the Bu- bonic plague was raging, many deaths oc- curing among the white population.

 men having the experience and nerve.
 The Boston Untouched
 Gunner Evans, of the Boston, was one of the men who sent the Spanish ships down He directed the fire of one of the big guns on the cruiser. The ship was at times greatly exposed, but did not receive shot. Not a man on the Boston received scratch.
 Paymaster Loud was on the McCulloch and witnessed all events on both sides From his position he could see every movement of the American ships ana could also see the battle plans of the span ish.
 ''For two hours" said MT. Loud, 'the steady thunder of cannon was kept up. The roar was something terrible. At one time I really thought we would be beaten. This was after the fire had kept up for an hour. It looked like every gun on the Spanish ships had turned loose on us al- together and the shore line was a veri- table blaze of fire from the batteries. The din was simply indescribable. Tons upon tons of shot fell over our ships. There was steel enough to have sunk our entire fleet. Our salvation was in the bad craftsmanship of the Spanards. They handled their pieces like boys. Nearly all of their shots went wide of the mark. Most were high, flying over the fleet and falling in the bay beyond. Some of the batteries, however, were better trained. Several guns maintained raging fire on the fleet. Nearly all of our ships were struck by both large and small shot, but no damage of consequence was done.
 we left Manila on the fifth. At that time Commodore Dewey was in posses sion of the shore forts and arsenals. Con siderable ammunition and some fair guns were captured.
 The Town at Dewey's Mercy
 Manila on the opposite side of the bay had not been taken and 1t was not the in- tention of Dewey to do so at that time Of course the city and its suburbs were com- pletely at the mercy of our guns and we could have laid it in ruins in a very short time. But the force on the warships is too small to land and take possession.
 When the troops arrive from San Fran cisco, Commodore Dewey will demand the immediate surrender of the city and the troops stationed there. If refusal Is given fire will be at once opened and forci- ble possession will be taken. There will be no difficulty in holding Manila and the Philippines. Complete subjugation of the Spanish forces in the group will be accom- plished without trouble and with very lit- tie danger to American life. The insur- gents are very friendly and at the time we left were besieging the town in large force. They are acting under orders of Commo- dore Dewey"

THE coLoNEL's wAR STORY
How Jim Adkins' Fan Gave Hin
Away and Got A--tm
Back Again.

Talking about war times" said the
old colonel, did any of you ever hear
the story of Jim Adkins?"
NO"
well, I'm surprised. Everybody in
the settlement knew him. Jim was a
no-'count sort of fellow, and the old
man was anxious to get rid of him;
so, when the war broke out and they
were looking around for men, the old
man gave him away"
".'Gave him away?'"
"Yes. Jim was in the hay loft, and
they were about to leave without him
when the old man winked and pointed
to the barn.
THAT was enough; and they got
him, and marched him to the front.
THE old man was sorry, after Jim
was gone, and his conscience hurt him
bad. But he hoped for the best, until
one day he got message that told him
that Jim had been killed and buried
on the battlefield.
Then he packed his grip and started
right off to bring Jim's body home, if
pOooibiSS ioi hlOluGI
would have nothing else, and made life
miserable for him with her reproaches.
"1Ie went to Virginia, and was there
informed that it would be impossible
to remove the body. So he stood over
the spot where it was buried and wept
for three days. Then he went sadly
home.
And 10 and behold! The first man
he met as he neared his home was Jim
safe, sound and right side up with
care
"It was some time before the old man
could say word; but when he found it
was really Jim-in flesh and blood
that they had got him mixed up with an
other Adkins, and he hadn't been killed
at all, the old man was hot! He slow
ly divested himself of his coat; then
rolled up his sleeves, and made for him!
1t was the liveliest scrap you ever saw
the old man on top, and the two of
'em wallowing in the dust!
1T took the old lady and the three
girls and two stout niggers to pull the
old man off.
He never did explain why he did it,
and Jim didn't ask any questions. But
the next morning he told his mother
that while his furlough wasn't out,
still he knew his country needed him,
and he couldn't stand to stay at home
under those circumstances. So he left
his blessing for the old man and took
the first train for the front Frank

conflicts were so near drawn that they
led to the vitual retirement of both
from high command.
Rosecrans formed his lines at Stones
river in a way to impress the strength
of his right wing upon Bragg. The con-
federate leader penetrated the design of
campfres where there were no troops,
and attacked that wing with momen-
tum that rolled it up, exposing the
union army to such serious danger that
Rosecrans would have retreated during
the night but for the advice of
Thomas. 1t is true that Bragg fell back
in the end, but the battle was incon-
elusive. In evacuating Chattanooga
Bragg laid one of the finest tactical
traps of the whole war. He encouraged
Rosecrans to think that the confederate
army was a dwindling remnant. The
ruse succeeded. Rosecrans divided his
army and sent it in pursuit, scattering
1t for so miles in the mountains. Then
Bragg suddenly drew heavy reinforce
ments from Lee and from the west, and
turned upon the over confident pursuers
with over 10000 men against the union
$4,000. Again Bragg had gauged his an
tagonist. Such was the battle of Chick
amauga, the second great battle of the
war, and one of the most critical for the
union army.
Those who saw Rosecrans at Chicka-
mauga realized that he was physically
exhausted. The strain of getting his
corps together to fightin an unexpected
place and against a superior force wore
him out before the first shots were
fired. He left the field before the battle
ended, and, more dead than alive, had
to be lifted from his horse. Though
Chattanooga was held, it was nearly at
the of starvation. When Grant went
to Chattanooga Rosecrans explained to
him the movements by which the hun
cry soldiers might be supplied, and
Grant dryly remarked that he won
dered why Rosecrans had not adopted
his own suggestions. In effect Rose
chans' military career ended with
Chickamauga. He had run too close to
the edge of fearful disaster to be
trusted again ut the head of a large
army. He was honored in official life
after the war and deserved well of his
fellow countrymen, for his patriotic
zeal was without flaw. His death at
the age of rs closes the union list of
great battle commanders, and marks
another stage in the vanishing of the
hosts of the civil war.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
