noi.ted tho First Flag at cavite.

An Ohio boy has the credit Of hoist
ing for the first time the stars and
stripes at Cavite. Lieutenant Dion Will
liams of the United States cruiser Balti-
more is the one who has the honor men
toned. He is the son Of Byron Will
liams of Clermont county. On Tuesday,
May 8, Lieutenant Williams landed
with his command of marines from the
Baltimore and posted sentries around
the captured navy yard, which was the
first act Of possession. At p. N. ne
hoisted the first American flag over Ca
vite-the first, in fact, over any cap
tured forts Of the old world Sergeant
James Grant and Corporal Joseph Poe
hauled the flag up. Of this glorious
event for all America our young lieu
tenant modestly writes to his father:
GAS / stood in front Of my little
guard of marines and watched the col
ors fly out to the breeze from the same
staff that few days before had borne
the flag Of Spain, now humbled by our
little feet, my feelings were Of wonder
how it had all happened and Of pride
that was the one to hoist the first flag.
1t was the happiest moment of my life,
and 1 couldn't keep the tears back :"
And neither could the friends who got
this message from the other side Of the

The New York In Action.

The ship seemed to work and to fight
by herself. You heard no human voice
Of command,-only the grieved tones Of
Lieutenant Mulligan rising from his
smoke choked deck below, where he
could not see to aim his 6 inch gun, and
from where he begged Lieutenant Mar
BILE again and again to "Take your
ID smoke out of my way
Lieutenant Marble was vaulttng IN
and out Of his forward turret like o
squirrel In a cage. One instant you
would see him far cut on the deck,
where shattered pieces Of glass and
woodwork eddied like leaves In hurri-
cane, and the next pushing the turTet
with his shoulder as though he meant
to shove it overheard, and then he would
wave his hand to his crew inside and
there would be racking roar, part
ing of air and sea and sky, q flash Of
flames vomiting black smoke, and he
would be swallowed up in it like
wicked fairy in pantomime.
And instantly from the depths below,
like the voice of a lost soul, would rise
the protesting shrek of Dick Mulligan
asking frantically, ooh, will you take
your id smoke out Of my way"-

Young man, as you cannot live life
over again. however you may long to
do So be sure to have your one life
right There is some young man who
has gone away from home, perhaps un-
der some lirtlo spite or evil persuasion
of another, and his parents know not
where he is. My son, go home. Do not
go to sea. Don't 60 tonight where you
may be tempted to go. Go home. Your
father will be glad to see you, and your
mother-I need not tell you how she
feels How 1 would like to make your
parents q present of their hayward boy,
repentant and in his right mind. l
would like to write them letter, and
you to carry the letter, saying, "By the
blessing Of God on my sermon intro

seen before, for he has become new
creature In Christ Jesus. - My boy, go
home and put your tired head on the
bosom that nursed you so tenderly IN
your childhood years.
A young Scotchman was taken cap
tive In battle by band Of Indians, and
he learned their language and adopted
their habits Years passed on, but the
old Indian chieftain never forgot that
he had In his possession young man
who did not belong to him. Well, one
day this tribe of Indians came in sight
of the Scotch regiments from whom this
young man had been captured, and the
old Indian chieftain said: II lost my
son in battle, and know how a father
feels at the loss of son. Do you think
your father is yet alive3" The young
man said, 81 am the only son Of my fa-
Their, and 1 hope he is still alive"
Then said the Indian chieftain: BE
cause of the loss Of my son this world is
desert. You go free. Return to your
countrymen Revisit your father, that
he may rejoice when he sees the sun
rise IN the morning and the trees bios

Your sisters are waiting for you. God

Avoiding German.

The German papers call attention to
the fact that the German language is
being less and less used in the German
and French cantons of Switzerland One
reason for this is the fact that it is con-
sidered more aristocratio throughout
Switzerland to speak French than Ger
man. But another reason is found in
the great influx of French workmen on
the Jura Simplon railway. due to the
fact that French-Swiss influences sue
ceeded in forcing Marks, the Berne
statesman aud advocate Of the line, out
of the management and transferring the
headquarters from the German city Of
Berne to the French city of Lausanne.
Complaint is also made BY German
newspapers that in the maps Of the road
French names of towns are substituted
for German, such as Bienne, Douanne,
Gleresse, Melville, etc. for Bel, Twann,
Ligerz, Neuenstadt etc.

A dispatch from Buffalo to-day announced that the fight would take place at Syracuse and that Gray would probably make the announcement In New, York tonight.

sIDNEY'S SON WINS AFTER
 LOSING IN THE FIRST.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.-The big 2:10 trot was the feature of the racing at the track this afternoon and the man agement expected a great crowd to be present. The attendance was a disap- pointment, but the race proved one of the grandest ever trotted in the State, four heats being reeled off in 2:1O, 2:12, 2:111k and 2:1O1s. Monterey, the chest nut son of Sidney, driven by Pete Will Hams, proved the victor after dropping the first heat to Toggles, the fast Fresno gelding, which stepped the race of his career. Great things were looked for from the winner, but he was unable to lower his record of 2;O9A.
 Of the four running events decided favorites in the betting captured two. The maiden plate for two-year-olds fell to Correct, carrying the colors Of cur ly" Shields and ridden by Mike Hennes- sy Unfortunately in this race the 3-to-5 favorite, Midlove, from the Burns & Warehouse stable, was left st the post. In the final mile dash Moringa, with 98 pounds in the saddle, skated around the ring in 1:40 flat, a track record. The track is as smooth and hard as the sur face of billiard table and the air will soon be permeated with the odor of liniment.
 The five contestants for the 2:10 trot were called at 1:30. In the auction bet ting Monterey sold an even-money choice over his field, but in the books Toggles was favorite for the first heat. Galette drew the pole, but the black mare was very unsteady and was In the air when the horses got the word. At the turn Prince Gift took the pole, maintaining the front position to the far turn. where he stepped on a tack and was passed by Toggles. The Fresno horse held the lead to the end, passing the wire over two lengths in front of the favorite. Zombro was fourth, behind Prince Gift.
 Monterey made such an impressive showing that he was now an over whelming choice, both in the auction pooling andsin the books. He took the

NEWSPAPER MEN
 IN THE BATTLE

WALKER, Minn., Oct. 5.-A hard fight with the Indians occurred to-day and the reports from the scene of the battle, on the other side of Leech Lake. are somewhat conflicting, although all reports agree that the result has been considerable shedding of blood and some loss of life on both sides. No word has come from the front for sew eral hours, which fact is considered somewhat ominous.
 The most serious report Is that the detachment of troons with General Bacon was massacred, the general himself being said to be among the dead Three newspaper correspondents, Brill of the St Paul Pioneer Press. Beaton of the Minneapolis Tribune and Knappen of the Minneapolis Times, are known to have been in the fight, and one report is that they were killed. while another says tLey are now pris- oners in the hands of the Indians. This little town has been full of excitement all day, and as the reports from the other side of the lake came in the peo- pie became frantic and efforts were made to get up a force to go to the help of the troops. This will be sent In few hours. with endorsements com ing on a special train from Brainerd. However, additional soldiers are most needed, and the feeling is general that they cannot come too soon.
 Brill of the Pioneer Press, Beaton Of the Tribune and the Times correspond ent had landed prior to the arrival Of the soldiers. a previous experience hav- ing made them believe the danger was slight They were thus brought into the thick of the fight and fought with tf soldiers. The men on the steamer saw them in the fight, taking vigorous part with their revolvers until they were compelled to flee, closely pursued by the painted savages. Tonight an Indian who arrived from Bear Island stated that all the men out of uniform had been killed, but that he could not tell how many soldiers had been shot
 The outlook at this hour Is that the agency Indians may go on the warpath at any moment They have been hold ing council all night and receiving re- ports every half hour by runners de- scribing the condition of affairs.
 Two of the old chiefs want war, but there are others who are trying desper- ately to stem the tide of discomfort and to prevent any conflict with the troops

MANY GRIEVANCES
 OF THE PILLAGERS

WALKER, Minn., Oct. 1.-The Pil lager and other neighboring Indians of the White Earth reservation claim to have many reasons for their present outbreak, although the direct trouble with the Pinagers came over attempts to bring in some of the Indians to the United States court at Duluth in con- nection with liquor selling cases.
 Their grievances go back through many years and there have been legis- lative and other attempts to settle them, one of the latest being the Nel- son law regarding the sale of timber on the Indian lands. However, the In- dians claimed that the method of dis posing of this was both cumbersome and expensive and that they were the sufferers. In regard to serving as wit nesses in illegal liquor selling cases, they claimed that the deputy marshals let them to find their own way home from Duluth without having paid them the proper mileage. This is denied by the deputies. The leader in the trouble with the Pillagers is an old warrior. Bog An Me -Shig, not chief. who recently returned from court. He alleged ill-treatment in being turned adrift penniless in Duluth and aroused the other Indians to protest against the way he claimed to have been treated. The United States Marshal insists that the old mans story is unfounded. but the reds had been stirred up to such a pitch that trouble apparently became unavoidab ble, In view of the deeply seated feeling of general ill-treatment in regard to their timber lands and their lands and rights in general.

SAVANNAH. Ga. Oct. 5.-The Morning News correspondent at Hines vile, the capital of Liberty County. says that an unconfrmed report has reached Riceboro, near there, that St. Catherine Island was swept by Sun days storm and that Superintendent E. H. Heatherington was lost.
 The report. the correspondent says. is unconfirmed, but fairly reliable. It reached Rieeboro by a negro, who claims to have been the only person on the island who escaped with his life. He climbed a tree and waited for the tide to recede. Telegraph and telephone systems are still prostrated and con- nections with coast towns are still cut off Information is only obtainable by messengers. who can hardly pass the country roads.
