SUCCUMBED TO
HIS INJURIES
Captain French of Montana Dies From
the Effect of Filipino
Bullet.

Washington. Oct. 31.--A cablegram
from General Otis to the war depart
ment announces the death to-day Of
Captain Charles French. Thirty-six
infantry who was wounded in yester-
days fight at Florida Blanco.
Captain Charles French was muster
ed in as first lieutenant of the First
Montana volunteers and served with
his regiment in the Filipinos until July
21 last, when he accepted an appoint
ment as captain in the Thirty-sixth
volunteer infantry. He was a resident
of Great Falls, Mont, where his father
resides.
Colonel Kessler was very much
moved to-day when told of the death
of Captain French. During the time
the Montana regiment was in the Phil
ippines Captain Sanders of Company
B, Butte, was on the staff of General
Otis, and the command of the company
while on the firing line was intrusted
by the colonel to French, who was then
lieutenant in Company A of Great
Falls. In July Lieutenant French de-
cided to re-enlist and was commits
stoned captain in the Thirty-siXth IN
fantry, of which Colonel Bell IS the
commander. Colonel Kessler speaks OF
the deceased as a brave officer ana a
man who did not appear to know what
fear was
