MUST BE IN BAD SHAPE.
Bacon's Men Had Scant Clothing and Food
y Supply When Landed.

Walker, Mimi, Oct. 6.-Sounds of
conflict have come from Bear Island,
all day, but people are still in igno-
rance of the real situation on the bat
tleground where Gen. Bacon and his
men had their encounter with the Pill
lager Indians, yesterday. Up to an
early hour this morning, there were
many grounds for fearing Gen. Bacon
and his command had been annihilated.
No direct word had been received from
any man who participated in the first
battle. Early this morning, however,
the firing was resumed and it has con-
tinued practically all day.
This makes it certain that Gen. Ba-
cons command is still on earth and
in fighting trim. 1t is now believed
that the soldiers are entrenched and
in a position to hold out until rein
foreements reach them. Lieut.. Col.
Hanback,, of the Sd Infantry, reached
here. late this afternoon, and imme-
diately started for Bear Island. 1t is

and signalled for an hour, but no answer

an impossibility.
The condition of Bacon's men. even IL
they are safe from annfhilation, must be
