BRAVERY OF THE "NON-COM.'
Extracts From the Report of Lient.
kessler, Sd Artillery.

In the reports received from Gen. Otis are
number from officers of low rank, which
contain considerable interesting informa-
ton. One of these is a report of Second
Lieutenant P. NJ. Kessler, who commanded
Battery L, Sd Artillery, during some of the
early engagements. This battery was part
Of thanking party which drove the fnsur-
gents back during the first days fighting.

Kessler. was covered, but there was one
wide gateway where they could all be seen
during their flight. 1t was here that was
seen the only conspicuous act of bravery
II at l have known in connection with the
insurgents. Two of their officers, appar-
emily surprised by the attack on their flank.
and unable to check the flight of their men,
paused in the gateway and calmly sur
veyed the country in front of them. At
least a hundred rifles were cracking away
in their direction at not over five hundred
yards, but they remained for probably
half minute in the perilouS position before
they passed on with their retreating troops.
few of these latter fingered for moment
in the chapel to fire from its windows, but
our fire soon silenced them, and they joinsd
their comrades in flight
In closing his report Lieut.. Kessler says:
Where every one has done his whole
duty. and has done 1t well, praise of in
dividuals seems almost out of place, but 1
wish to invite attention to the fact that
as there was no officer besides myself with
the battery, which numbered Id men, pres
ent on the day of the engagement, great
dependence was necessarily placed upon
the non-commissioned officers for the prop
er and effective control of such a number.
The 1st Platoon was commanded by First
Sergt. w. c. Read, the I'd Platoon by Sergt.
William Edgar and the sections as follows:

colonial office today were shown the dis
