CHICAGO, April Sergeant Major A.
E. Gebert, Of Chicago, who served in the

1.-THE next morning the advance began,
with Maj. Logan's detachment in the van.
The major, instead of remaining in the
position designated by the books, was in
the lead, and personally discovered the
first indications Of the enemy in the
shape of an outpost. He gave me his
horse to ride back and make n report Of
the discovery.
when about three miles from San ia
cinto a sharpshooter on the point dis
covered the enemy intrenched In a posi-
ton across the road about fifty yards III

ing unarmed, as if to screen the trench.
The discovery was made just as we reach
ed a boggy place in the road, knee deep
with mud. Maj. Logan dashed, or fioun-
dered, across the bog, and reaching the
ether side, he discovered a head peeping
over the fence, and gave yell, Go for

day that Is per cent of the Dingley rates
would prohibit Puerto Rican manufac-
ture from sale in the United States. The
raw leaf would pay on an average 5A
cents in the United States, and finished
goods TN cents per pound. This would
be discriminating In favor OF the United
States manufacturers to the extent Of
S.25 on each 1000 pounds.
Skilled labor" he said us higher here
than In the United States, and the pas
sage of the proposed bill would destroy
Puerto Rican manufacture. 1t would be
crime against Puerto Rican labor and
capital. If congress Is sincere in It's en-
deavor to raise revenue fer the island, 1t
cannot consistently take the Dingley bill
as a basis. The different rates between
the manufactured and raw products will
protect the United States manufacturers,
but slaughter the Puerto Rican manu-
facturer.''

yards in front of me. I ran to him
and found he had been shot through
the head near the temples. I poured
water from my canteen over his wound,
washing off the blood and dirt which
had mixed with it and then bandaged
the wound. He was lying on his breast,
his face toward the rear whence the
shots had come from the trees.
His left cheek was pressed against
the ground and both arms were close to
his sides. l tried to drag him to cover
as there was a hot fire being poured in
on us all the time but he was a very
large man and / could not handle him
alone. A broken sledge was lying near

who helped me place the major upon

geon came up with the hospital stew
ard. The latter stopped to help me
with the rude stretcher when a bullet
pierced him near the heart. We carried
the major to safer place and I went
forward again to report to some one
for duty.

was bending over a wounded comrade

the president as assistant secretary Of
the interior. Mr.. Davis determined upon
this course as the result of his recent
visit to South Africa. He has decided to
deliver a public address touching the en-
tire scope of the present war, and be-
Heves he can best do so while free from
any restraints which his present position
would impose upon him.
When taking his departure for hcme
from Pretoria, 1900 people gathered to
take leave of him at the station. They
appealed to him in tears to state their
cause to the American people, and Mr..
Davis says his conscience would haunt
him if he proved recreant to that pitiful
appeal. He believes the American peo-
pie are not truly Informed on the situa-
ton. He will therefore avail himself of
an early opportunity to relate his expert
ence and observations at a public meet
ing that shall be free to all. Mr.. Davis
has decided on this course after mature
deliberation and free consultation with
his friends.

Sickness Causes Delay In Trans
porting Prisoners to st. Helena.
CAPE TOWN, Saturday, March 81
The departure of the British transports
with the Boer prisoners for ST. Helena
has been delayed in consequence of the
increased sickness among the prisoners.
Three died today, and twelve have died
during the week.
Arrangements are being made to pre-
vent overcrowding. The prisoners do not
complain of their treatment or their food.
Many Of Gen. Cronje's men, when cap
tured, were completely worn out with the
hardships they had undergone, and little
strength was left them TO fight disease.
Moreover, the confinement on shipboard
Is very irksome to men who have been
accustomed to outdoor life.
