Men Were Worn Out.

I'VE arrived at just about the right time
Everybody was worn out and the harassing
tactics of the Tagals were beginning to
tell. Not a man OF the garrison had been
on duty for four days, and all had been
compelled to catch what little sleep they
could between scraps The night before
our arrival Captain Belts of E Company,

posts. when he was attacked by a swarm

by rff1emen- The natives were at least
800 strong. while Belts entire force num-
oered twenty-eight. The sentinel was cut
10 pieces before he knew what had hap
pened and Belts was entirely surrounded.
He was the right kind. however, and kept
his head. Calling to the men to fall back,

Shipton had made three attempts TO reach
headquarters at Sorsogon by courier; two
OF these failed and only got through.
Unfortunately the one to reach US was
the least important of the three and our
colonel did not attach much Importance to
the situation, as the news brought by the
courier was simply to the effect that Ship
ton was all right and could hold the posi-
ton indefinitely. When the tramp steamer
came in, however. matters were gradually
coming to a head. and Shipton determined
to close the incident. He therefore took

In the following spirited extract,
John Hancock denounced the British
soldiery and their leaders in Boston,
Mass, for their participation in the
Boston Massacre" This conflict be-
tween the citizens and British troops
occurred March 5, 1910, and was one
of the ocasions that fastened forward
the enterprise of American independ-
enee.
Tell me, We bloody butchers! we
villains high and low! We wretches
who contrived, as well as you who
executed, the inhuman deed! do you
not feel the goads and stings of con-
scious guilt pierce through your saw
age bosoms? Though some of you
may think yourselves exalted to a
height that bids defiance to the arms
Of human justice, and others shroud
yourselves beneath the mask of hy-
pocrisy, and build your hopes of safety
on the low arts of cunning, chicanery,
and falsehood; yet do you not some
times feel the gnawing of that worm
which never dies? Do not the injured
shades of Maverick, Gray, Caldwell,
Attacks and Carr attend you in your
solitary walks, arrest you even in the
midst of your debaucheries, and fill
ever your dreams with terror?
"Ye dark, designing knaves? We
murderers! PARTICLES! how dare you
tread upon the earth which has drunk
in the blood of slaughtered ~innocents,
shed by your wicked hands? How
dare you breathe that air which waited
to the ear of Heaven the groans of
those who fell a sacrific to YOU ac-
cursed ambition? But, if the laboring
earth does not expand her jaws; if the
air you breathe is not commissioned
% be the minister of death; yet hear
it, and tremble! the eye Of Heaven
p~enetrates the darkest chambers Of
the soul; traces the leading clew
through all the l%abyrinths which your
Industrious folly has devised; and
you, however you may have screened
yourselves from human eyes, must be
a~rraigned, must lift your hands, red
with the blood of those whose deaths
you have procured, at the tremend'

The gray-haired sires have gathered
their little focks about them, read a

A volley crashes out and the first
British soldiers to die in the face of
the colonists drop to the ground. Three
OF them fall dead and a half a dozen
are wounded, among the latter being
three minor officers.
The British Immediately retreat to-
ward the center of the town. and the
Americans follow them a little way
and then turn off and draw up on the
hillside. The regulars carry one of
their dead with them, but two are left

capt. Parsons ceases his work of de-
struction at Col. Barrett's and hastens
with his three companies towards the
scene of conflict. His progress is not
lnterfered with, and the minute men
on the hill watch him as he Joins his
defeated comrades.
During all this time reinforcements
have constantly been adding to the
number of minute-men, and they are
growing more and more confident.
Moreover, Col. Smith sees that the peo-
pie are desperately in earnest. He
gathers his men together, marches,
halts, countermarches, hesitates and
finally, fearing that in further conflict
MS command may be utterly worsted,
he gives the order to return and his
soldiers turn their faces toward Bos-
