THE BOY COLONEL.
GEN. M'ARTHUR'S SERVICE IN
THE CIVIL WAR. v
Soon Changed Their Opinton-ouantles
That Won for Him the Love of His
soldiers-Impulse of the Lad and
Firm Readiness of the Commander.

Gen. Arthur Macarthur, who COM
manded a brigade at the capture OF
Manila, has reputation as a fighter
gained from the civil war, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel. He was known
as the "boy colonel" A veteran OF
the oath Wisconsin said recently:
when the governor made him our
adjutant, in 1862, he was only II, and
small for his age His voice had not
fully changed. 1t sounded like the
growing of a young rooster in its first
efforts. We made all sorts OF fun OF
him. and felt that we had been i'm
posed upon by the governor. we
wanted man, not stripping, Tor ao-
jutant-an Office almost as important
as that Of colonel.
"You ought to have heard the boy
on dress parade. His chicken voice
didn't reach halfway down the line
when he piped out: TO the rear; open
order; march, and when he minced 10
the center of the regiment, moved out
in front and said, First sergeant 10
! the front and center march! there
was a broad grin on the faces or a
thousand men and scoWl on that VI
the colonel. The first colonel had seen
service and wanted a competent man
for adjutant. The night after the nrst
dress parade he said: I shall write to
the governor to send me wooden man
for adjutant.' The boy heard some OF
the colonel's comments, and he coulu
see that the men were guying MIN. Il
cut him to the quick.
"I'll show them that l can ngnt
anyway. Then maybe they'll come t'
like me BETTER said the boy, as III
brushed away something damp IRON
his soft cheek
Another story from the same lip
brings out the qualities this boy na'
for winning the love Of his men. A
, Kenesaw the veteran who tells tn
story was badly wounded and left be
hind when the oath was ordered Dacl
after the repulge. Young Macarthur
was in command, and when he learne
l that Sergt. Dunn was among the miss
ing in battle he sent file OF men t
the front again to search for him. sal
he: "If he is wounded and alive, Sc
that he is given in charge OF the sui
geon at once; if dead, bring his boo
In and it shall be sent home In

boy, but the act that of firm an
ready commander.

There are a number of such places in

Hiawatha, which left Halifax July 20

victims, returned last night,
John Perry Of Kansas City, one of
the members OF the expedition, said
the steamer went TO the place where
the captain Of the steamer Old Field
reported he saw 200 Of them floating.
No bodies were found in this locality,
but few miles further away the first
body was found, During that day-
Sunday-and succeeding days until
August ., the members of the expedi-
tion worked continuously, the weather
being favorable and the sea calm.
During that time thirty-one bodies
were found. Those found on the first
day were in fair state OF preserva-
ton. Those found later were ad-
vanced In decomposition.
Nearly all were the bodies of steer
age passengers or sailors. This could
be told from the clothing. Most of
the bodies were men, few were wo-
men and some boys. Some were taken
on board for particular examination.
Mono were those of the Perry or Dill
lon families. All of the bodies were
buried Mt sea, in the usual manner,
and all the effects, such as they were,
were brought ashore. There was
hardly anything about the female
bodies to aid Identification. Only one
or two were those of first-class pas
