| The New York Times Manila cor
respondent is writing some good

officers. While the Twentieth Kansas
regiment was advancing on Mslolos
| the main body of the men halted
while the then Colonel Funston and q

Finding no signs of the insurgents he
sent back word for the regiment to

ming from a neig hboring wood with the
| evident intention of cutting off the
| accommodating party and destroying il
before the support could be brought
| up.
The rebels took position from which
they could direct q hot fire on the
bridge, aud as it was q high one, over
which the open railway ties gave only
rather dangerous and difficult pas
age, the situation was one we'll cslcu-
lated to put Kansas courage and zeal
to the test. OF course there WAS no
hesitation: the bridge was traversed,
the scouts rescued, and the Filipines
putto flight. AS battles go in some
wars, the affair did not amount to
much, but still those who participated
in it could have been forgiven if, in
writing home to friends, they bad dwelt
little on the gravity OF the perils en-
countered. That, however, would
have involved a claim for special
credit, and such claims are not
made by our fighters in the field. They
prefer to turn their hardships and ex-
ertions into jokes. This tendency is
we'll illustrated in the description by
which Lieutenant Colonel E. G. Little,
in letter in which the details of the
skirmish are given. OF the charge
onel was across and my battalion at the
head of the column, my bugler, Berry

bridge, aud, of course, the first to
crosse" That "of course" is delight
full in many ways, snd significant in as
many more. But, being a man of the
century's end, Lieutenant Colonel Lit
tie is interpretive as well as energetic,
and, the fighting over, he examined in
to the emotions it produced.
"I've read" he adds, ''of men
crossing bridges under fire

delightful. and it recalls the Funston
ian confession of hesitation to order
charges for fear of getting s''run over"
by the too obedient soldiers. It must
be decidedly exciting for the enemy

THE NEWSPAPERS AS DETEC-
TIVES.

The newspapers discovered the stoler
baby Marion Clarke. They were the
detectives it the case, and it is their
triumph.
The antipathy of police departments
in general to the newspapers is as
violent today as it ever was. It is
still the theory of the policemen tina,
newspaper publicity interferes with
the ends of justice. In some cases this
may be true. # criminal conspiracy
is being engineered and the detectives
are hot upon the trail of the conspira-
tors and only await the proper time to
make arrests premature publications
might seriously interfere with the pol
ice plans and event prevent arrests or
convictions. But these are only
instances. When crime has
benn cousummated and it is necessary
to capture the criminals then the po-
lice are served by wide publicity and
minute descriptions. People who are
Interested use their eyes and ears, and
clues are given which would never be
known but for the newspapers. In the
case of the Clarke baby it is doubtful
if the police, acting without the aid of
the newspapers, would ever have been
able to locate the child. An anxious
mother might be on the verge of q
madhouse today, and that her child
has beensrestored to her is due entire
ly to theipublic interest aroused by and
the careful. details given in the news
papers.
A woman in Brooklyn rented q room
to two women who had the baby in
their possession. But for the descrip-
tions of the kidnapping and the pic
lures of the baby, Marion Clarke might
still be held prisoner in the Brooklyn
house. But the woman who rented the
room to the kidnappers was q newspa-
per reader, and the information that
she gave was the first clue. The child
was taken to an obscure village in the
state of.New York. Had the newspa-
pers not reached the village postmis-
tress the child could have been held
Indefinitely, but the newspapers did
the work, and the postmistress told
what she saw, and then came the re-
covery.
It would be we'll for the police sde-
partments, instead of looking upon the |
newspapers as an enemy of sjustice, to
regard them as an essential part of the !
detective service.
