yards, to the Iapoto River, where
they are entrennhed. Tho insur-

THREE BRAVE GENERALS,

Con. Lawton, though exhausted
by the mornings fight, rallied by
sheer will power, and was the com
manding figure in the battle. He
went along the lines directing and
encouraging the troops.
Gen. Wheaton and Con. Ovonshine
were equally courageous. In fact
the generals were among tho few
men on tho battlefield who refused
to lake sholter under tho hottest
fire.
The only approach to tho fighting
ground was by q narrow, winding
road, where the rebel bullets dropp-
cd thickly, wonnding several Of our
men.
After 4 o'clock there was an hours
lull in the fighting, and an artillery
sergeant gallopod back to whore two
guns OF the mountain battery were
waiting IN reserve, and shouted
"Bring up those guns"
The sergeant then fell, exhausted,
from his horse.
Twenty wounded mon were carried
to cascoe (nativo bo"D waiting on
the bach, which was rowed to Para.

advance along narrow roads and
over small bridges, commanded by
earthworks ten feet thick.
CROSSING THE ZAPOTF.

The only means Of crossing the
Znpote was by small bridge, which
the Filipinos commanded with
trenches spreading V shaped, whence
they could concentrate their fire on
tho bridge. They also had the al
vantage of tho trees and Jungle, IN
tho Americans could hardly see Il
head.
When the battle was resumed at |
o'clock with the roinforccments, our
battery having silenced the enemy's
guns, tho Americans wading water
deep in tho mud and on the salt
flats, advancing slowly, and pouring
steady vclleys Of muske,ry into the
rebels, drove their opponents beyond
the river.
When the two armies lay facing
each other across the deep stream
the enemy were practically out Of
sight, whilo the mon in blue and
khaki lay in tho mad and brushes,
many Of them without any shelter,
for three hours, without moments
cessation in tho firing, pouring bullets
at tho enemy as fast AZ they could
load. The thousand rifles blended
into Il continuous roar was very diff.
terent from tho intermittent skirm.
lsh like rattle of most Of the engage
ments.
