which followed the sea victory, but there
| are those who tell of acts of kindness
shown by him to wounded soldiers, and
of other things more than ordinarily
brave, the merest reference to which sets
the handsome officer to blushing like
boy. One of the correspondents, who was
with the army relates that on the day
of the battle of Ell Caney, as he sat, tired
to DEATH by the sideeof the sun-baked

| Won Rebeur- Paschwitz came riding along
| on a woe-begone army horse. He was
| covered with dust. His face was scarlet
with heat. He had a bullet hole through
| his cap, but he was as erect as if he
were on the bridge of one of the Kaisers
men-of-war at a naval parade. He stop

| watered at the aroma of it. He had
empded his canteen hours before for the
relief of a thirsty soldier with a Mauser

The correspondent offered him drink

He was nearly dead for a taste of the
coffee, but he couldn't think of robbing
the correspondent. He would be very
grateful, he said, for a demi-tasse-a demi-
tasse out of an old tin can by the side
of a broing hot Cuban road in war time!
| The correspondent held up the tin. the
| officer seized it, and the imperturba bility

| instant. He drank and drank and drank,
| and when he handed the can back if there
| was any demi-tasse anywhere about the

the bottom of the can. Then he dsmount-

| all the furnished glory of his uniform, and
| went to work to help make more coffee.
| Lieutenant Commander Won Rebeur-
| Paschwitz was a member of the general
| staff in Berlin before he was sent to
| Washington and has been decorated on
| several occasions. His earliest decora-
! ton was conferred on him by the King of
| Sweden who came to visit training ship
| of which he was in command when it
touched at Stockholm. AS aide de
| camp to the Grand Duke of Wei

Kaiser Wilhelm canal, he was dec
Grated for his services. Some of his
! badges of honor are very beautiful. There
is for example, the Order of the White
| Falcon, with its white bird on a cloth of
green. and the magnificent Red Eagle,
which is silver cloth with a red eagle on
"a circle of white. He usually wears four
or five decorations On state occasions, such
as the Presidents New Year levee, and
among them is always the insignia of the
Order of st. John of Jerusalem, which he
prizes more than any other he possesses.
Two Attaches From France.
The French embassy is the only one in
Washington which can boast both a mill
tary and a naval attache. Both attaches
are young men. Capt. Vignal, the army
representative. is an engineer, and in the

school at Fontainbleau, with the engin-

| with a pontoon company, detailed on the
! eastern FRI ntier in the construction of the
| Publications France has been busy with
| these thirty years. He was made captain
for distinguished service in the signal
corps, and the Minister of War has lately
decided that he is to be promoted to the
rank of major by special selection. He
| will be one of the youngest field officers
| in the engin era. He has alreaoy received
the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor.

| America, because he has an American
