saddles up and down the street, ordered
the man having such goods in his pos
session to present himself to the front.

came to dream of a partnership that
should last as long as life lasted. But
at the very end of the war, in the last
engagement, Kidder's comrade was
killed by the last shot that came from
the confederate ranks.
"Kidder felt so bitterly that he vowed
he would make it his mission in life to
look up the man who fired that last
shot and killed him. But he never heard
of the man he was after until a few
months ago here in Chicago. Capt.
Kidder lives in the Tecumseh apart
ment building. Above him on the Sec
ond floor lived Capt. johnson, an eX-
confederate. The two families became
acquainted and liked each other. One
evening at a reception given by the
Kidders, Capt. johnson told the story
of how the last shot fired in the war
at certain place was fired by his or
ders. That was the shot that killed Kid
der's comrade. He had found the man
responsible for the death of his old
friend in n new acquaintance and
friend. a comparison of notes showed
that there was no doubt but that the
ollOA W NAAlNll NbJLs oOllllSOll lltANA VI SAOd
fred killed Kidder's chum."
I'VE had some tough customers in
our company" said the captain, land
the discipline was pretty severe. Near
ly every man who had to be toned down
by punishment swore that he would kill
the captain as soon as he was out of the
service. The men with a grievance made
this declaration, not only at the time
of punishment, but at the beginning of
every battle, when they intimated that
the captain might be found dead on the
field with a hole in his back. That
captain lives in Chicago and among his
most trusted employees is a fellow who
threatened to shoot him scores of times,
but who learned also to appreciate the
officer who made men out of very poor
material"
There were tough characters" said
an eX-confederate, ''in both armies.
Three or four years after the war
found an old union soldier in the pen
itentiary at Nashville. | was greatly
interested in his case, and it seemed
to me that the offense charged against
him-that of stealing mules-was not,
| with army traditions in mind, grave
one, and through the influence of
friends secured his pardon. He was
very grateful and started north with
the promise that we should hear good
reports of him. Before he left Ken
tuclly he stole ten horses, crossed the
Ohio river with them, and made dash
for the central part of the state. He
was pursued and captured and sent to
the Ohio pentitentiary.
II felt very sore about this and taunt-
ed some of my Yank friends with the
record of the fellow. A year later
went to Columbus to secure the release
of an old confederate soldier from the
Ohio penitentiary. 1 vouched for him,
because he was one of the bravest sol
diers in our command; rough, daring
fellow, who would follow his captain
| anywhere. l secured his release by a
strong appeal to the governor, and
started the man southward. He stole
three horses before he got out of the
state. Since that time have never said
much about the union soldier who dis
appointed me at Nashville. Chicago

stores full of soldiers. Mistaking the
store of the prominent rebel merchant
for the property of an enemy, they en-
tered it and helped themselves to it's
contents.
The merchant had little daughter,
his only one, delicate-looking, black
eyed girl of ~ years of age, who had
often shown her loyalty to the cause
and cheered the passing troops by play
ing popular southern airs on the piano.
Among the other goods taken from her
fathers store by the present raiders
was bolt of calico, then worth dol
lar a yard in greenback money-and
hard to get at that-which had been
carefully laid away for her own use,
Her eyes followed the calico till she
saw it thrown across the soldiers sad
die. The men were now mounted and
about to leave the town. The sobs of
the little girl could be heard across the
street.
Just then stripping of a cavalryman,
light in figure and as beardless as a
boy, rode up, dressed as an officer. At
tracted by the distress of the little girl,
he inquired the cause of the trouble, but
she was too full of sobs to tell him. Her
union neighbor across the street, a
brave, outspoken girl Of 20 years, said
to the officer: "That little girl is cry
ing because some of your men have
taken her dress pattern, and that's a
nice way you rebels have of treating
your friends"

HELDBY THE REBELS.
Dewey Sends Information of the
Yorktown's Crew.
Gilmore and Ten of His Fellows Are
PrisOners-Fear That the Rest May

turn with New Proposals..

Washington, May 2.-The following
miral Dewey:
Manila, SO.-Secretary Navy, Washing
ton: Apparently reliable information ten
of the Yorktown boat crew, including Gil
more, are prisoners at insurgent headquar-
ters. Am continuing investigation.
(Signed) DEWEY"
Fear Some Were Killed.
Inasmuch as there were Is members of
the Yorktown party captured by the
Filipinos at Baler, and Admiral Dewy
accounts for only ten of them, it is
feared that the other five have been
killed. They probably were killed or
fatally wounded in the original assault
upon the landing party at Baler. The
identity of the members of the party
still unaccounted for is not known. A
telegram was sent to Admiral Dewey
Monday asking him to inform the de-
Partment, if possible, of the names of
the men known to be in the hands of
the Filipinos. 1t is accepted at the de-
partment that the reason that he has
not already furnished the names, with
the exception of that of Gilmore, in his
dispatch of yesterdays date, was be-
cause he did not have the information.
The insurgent headquarters where Adj
Iniral Dewey says the men are held pris-
oners is supposed to be San Fernando,
but there is no assurance on that point.
Bring New Propositions.
Manila, May 1.-The insurgent COM
missioners who left Manila Saturday
have returned here from the insurgent
army with new propositions.
Seeks an Exchange.
Manila, May 2.-Gen. Macarthur has
sent officers to Gen. Antonio Luna, the
Filipino commander, under flag of
truce, carrying money and provisions
for American prisoners in his hands,
and asking an exchange of prisoners
and the names of such as he may have.
1t is reported that the insurgents have
two officers and 16 others; and it is sup
posed that among these are Lieut.. j. c..
Gilmore and II men of the crew of the
| United States gunboat Yorktown, who
fell into the hands of the Filipinos last
month when the gunboat visited Baler,
on the east coast of LuZon.
LawtOn Advancing.
Mai. Gen. Lawton is advancing. He
has organized band of 40 scouts to &C
ahead of the column. The band, which
is under w. NJ. Young, an old Indian
fighter, who killed five Filipinos last
week, includes Diamond, Harrington
somerield and Murphy, of the Second
Oregon regiment.
MAJ. Bell, with a squad of scouts, ha:
captured the town of Macabebe, about
four miles southwest of Calumpit, the
people ringing bells and shouting
"Vivas." The American army is now
employing Nlacabebes, instead o
Cinnamon, and they are delighted to gel
so cents a day, declaring their loyalty
