RATHER LIKES IT.
Guy Tate Writes Interestingly Of the
Battlefield.

CALUMPIT, P. l., May Last week
we kansas and Montana) took the
strongest ratification we ever have
taken yet and had the hardest time
of it. | think it was the insurrectos
last hopes and they defended it des-
perately. Colonel Funston did the
planning Of it and after working a
day and half he got about 200 men
across a river on raft. The niggers
being on one side and we on the other.
Colonel Funston was one of the first
men on the raft to cross, while the
Filipinos were kept under heavy
fire from our guns. One brave Mig
ger was seen to jump up on their
breastworks and commence firing at
our men as they crossed. when a vol
ley was fired at him and guess he
went up in the smoke.
After about 200 Of our men had
crossed on the raft, the rest of us
went up the river and crossed on a
railroad bridge and sent the niggers
back into the timber again. Colonel
Funston did all this.< After the mig
gers were routed Gen. Wheaton was
seen to put his arms around COL
Funston and PRAISE him for his good
work. Funston was the best colonel
in the Philippines. All the boys
have such confidence in him that
they would follow him anywhere.
We are now in Calumpit, living in
deserted houses. We think this is
the last move we will have to make.
Gen. Macarthur says the Kansas and
Montana troops have done their share
and that he is going to use his iniu-
ence to get us out Of the field.
After we had charged on the mig.
gers and driven them back, we stop

YOUNG BRoCKHAUs GUILTY, TOO.
Sentenced to be Hanged Sept. 6, for His
Part in Wilton Murder,

| Bridgeport, March S.-The jury in the
case of Frederick M. Brockhaus, charg-
ed with murder in the first degree, as
being an accomplice with Benjamin
| Willis in the murder of Daniel S. r.
Lambert at Wilton December II,
brought in verdict of guilty this af-
ternoon after deliberating two hours
and thirty minutes, and Judge Wheeler,
who presided over the court, sentenced
him to be hanged at the state prison
at Wethersfeld September 6, 1899.
Though Lawyer Chamberlain for the
defense made an able argument to the
effect that Brocl1huus was but dupe
of Willis, who has already paid the pen
atty of the crime, state Attorney Fes-
senden made masterful argument,
vivdly reviewing every incident of the
tragedy, and forcibly pointed out that
Brochhaus was jointly guilty with Will
lis in the commission of the crime;
that he was not under the influence of
liquor, and that he was equally guilty

house in the act of committing fell
onv.
Judge Wheeler's charge to the jury
was considered exceptionally favorable
to the accused, giving him every pos
sible benefit allowed by the law as it is
III Connecticut. The jury retired at
2:45 p. u., and after being out an hour
sent in note for instructions relative
to the fact that if a man Is present at
a robbery when a killing was commit
ted would he be held guilty with the
one who did the killing. Judge Wheel
er informed the jury that where party
engaged in planning a robbery with an
other party, although no intention of
killing was conceived when the robbery
was planned, SO long as he was present
and made no effort to prevent the kill
ing, he was equally guilty with the man
who did the killing. The jury then re-
sumed their deliberations and in an ex-
ceptionally brief time returned the ver-
diet of guilty.
While the jury was out Brockhaus
chatted pleasantly with the court Off
GERS and remarked that If verdict of
murder in the first degree was found he
hoped the judge would give him as long
as possible to live, as he wanted his
parents to see him and also wanted time
to prepare for death. He hoped that
he wouldn't be given a life sentence If
he was found guilty of manslaughter,
for in that case he would be buoyed up
with the hope that he might eventually
be pardoned which perhaps would new
err be realized and be a source of many
disappointments The prisoner took
the sentence Of the court very calmly.
The crime for which Brockhaus will
pay the penalty of his life was consid-
cred one of the most atrocious in the
history of Fairfield county, and is too
familiar to need any recalling. Willis,
who undoubtedly was the principal in
the affair, was hanged last December,
and the closing chapter will occur with
the execution of R"ockhaus.

Washington, March 3.-Crowded gal
leries looked down upon the struggling
members of the house to-day as the
closing scenes of the last legislative day
of this congress were being enacted.
Step by step the leaders in charge Of
the appropriation bills pushed them
through the final stages and during
every lull in the consideration of con-
ference reports members clamored for
recognition for belated local bills in the
vain hope of rescuing them from death
on the calendar.
At times the house was like bedlam.
Pound as the speaker would with his
gavel, it was almost impossible to pre-
serve order, and to the casual visitor
in the gallery the proceedings on the
floor must have been about as intelligi-
BILE as an exciting day in the wheat pit
would be to a parish priest. The noise
and confusion on the floor, punctuated
with the constant banging of the speak
er's gave or backgrounded with the
voice of the clerk, irate members fac
ing each other and talking at the same
time, pages scurrying up and down the
aisles-all this was utterly distra citing.
But the people in the galleries stayed on
and there were a dozen persons in line
In the corridors waiting for vacant
seats, so great is the attraction of q dy-
ing congress.
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts, after
many unsuccessful attempts, got an op-
portunity during the afternoon to voice
his views on currency reform and Sc
yerely criticised some of his republican
colleagues. He spoke in high terms of
