General Richards has recently written
a letter to General C. p. Cilley of Rock
land in regard to the cannon that stands
on the State grounds back of the State
House. This cannon is one that was cap
tured from the rebels by the 1st Maine
Cavalry, of which General Cilley was the
colonel at the time. The inscription on
the cannon telling the visitors of It's his
tory, was made with a paint brush in an
awkward manner and recently when Gen
eral Richards had the cannon and the
woodwork painted. the inscription was
covered. Now the general has written to
General Cilley asking what would be an
appropriate inscription to be engraved on
some sort of a plate to be attached to the
cannon, which it is General Richards in
vention to have placed there.

tsneoial to The Herald,

Ogden, April 9.-Christian Sorenson,
an oiler for the Southern Pacific COM
pany. had his head crushed almost to
pulp while at work between two cars
this morning at the Union depot. He
was engaged in uncoupling the bag
gage car from passenger coach about

arrived two hours late. The coupler
was what is known as the Miller
hook" and has extra fastemngs oy
means of chains wrapped about the
hook. Sorenson went in between the
cars to unfasten these chains and had
raised his head too nigh. Switch engine
1 .Oe3 hooked on to the car, the crew
being unaware that SorenSon was al
work. The unfortunate mans head was
caught between the sill-bolts and
crushed. The mans head was wedged
so tightly that he could not be eXtri-
Gated until the car had been pulled for
ward. Inspector Z. L. Tracy, who was
working nearby, with the neip OF
others, got the man freed and ne was
sent to the hospital, but from the very
first little hope was had that ne WouIo

In the afternoon the physicians re
moved a number of crushed pieces OF
bone from the brain, but the injuries
proved fatal, the man dying about Z: 5U
last evening.
The arrangements for the funeral

of the Success of the Latest Expe-

the Withdrawal of Our Troops and
Approach the American Lines,
Only to Be Repulsed-Another De-
cree From Aguinaldo>

Manila, April 9, $50 p. m.-The expe-
dition of 1850 men under Major Gen
eral Henry W. Lawton, which started
last night with the intention of cross
ing La Guda de Bay, capturing the
town of Santa Cruz, on the eastern
shore of the lake, and then sweeping
the country to the south, consists OF
200 picked sharpshooters, chosen from
the various regiments, Hawthorne s
mountain battery, Gates squadron,
three troops of the Fourth cavalry, I'M
mounted, with Bronke'S and Tappan'
battalion of the Fourteenth infantry,
Linck's battalion of the First Idaho
infantry and Fraino's battalion of the
First North Dakota infantry, under
General King. The flotilla of twenty
canoes, towed by tugs and conveyed
by the gunboats La Guna de Bay, Oesta
Rapidan and preceded by the launch
containing General Lawton and General
King, started from San Pedro. Macati,
on the river Pasig, moving toward the
lake, just as evening was setting in.
1t was truly picturesque sight.
The men were all in high spirits and
carried rations for ten days, with the
lightest marching equipment. General
Lawton's plan was to reach Santa Cruz
this morning at daybreak to capture OF
destroy any rebel gunboats or shipping,
or take the town and then to scour the
country to the south of the lake, dis
lance not yet explored by the Ameri-
cans. The tactics will be those of the
old time frontier fighting, and it is
probable that the command will be di-
vided into squads of twelve under nom
commissioned officers.
In General LaWtOn S absence the Sec
ond division is temporarily commanded
by General Oversshine, whose lines eX-
tend from the beach near Malate. south
of Manila, to the shore of La Guna de
Bay, beyond Pasig, distance of about
seven miles.
The withdrawal of the eighteen COM
panies constituting the expeditionary
force made a gap in the line from the
beach to Culiculi, just southwest of San
Pedro Macati, which was subsequently
filed by the Fourth regular infantry.
The rebels on the extreme right had
evidently been informed of the with
drawal of the troops, and they attempt
ed to sneak through after nightfall, but
were met with a warm reception. and
fell back in disorder on discovering
that the line was still intact.
