CAPT. SHIELDS FIGHT.
The Stand Made by the Men of the Twenty
Ninth Infantry Against an Ovsrwhelm-
ing Force n Brilliant Episode.

Washington, Nov. 24.-MaiI advices
from Manila give in considerable de-
tail the story OF the rescue of Capt.
ninth infantry after their capture by
the insurgents in Martinique. The
fight that Capt Shields and his party
put up against an overwhelming force
is declared to have been one of the
most brilliant incidents in the history
of bush fighting in the archipelago.
The so men in question were pursuing
a party of insurgents of superior force
into the mountains when they were
ambushed in a box canyon by a force
of ESQ rifiemen and 1,SOO bOlomen.
They made a continuous fight for
eight hours, killing large number of
insurgents, and were overpowered only
after they had fired their last shot
and practically were smothered in
hand-tO-hand fight with their 1000
adversaries. Sergts. Williams and Nc
Carthy, who were in charge of some
of the wounded. come in for particu-
lar praise. They were cut off from the
rest of the party during the retreat
and intrenched themselves on the
hillside where they stood off their as
sailants for about three hours, sur
rendering after every cartridge had
been exhausted. Scarcely a man in
the expedition escaped being grazed
or slightly wounded during the fight.
The total list of killed amounted to
only five. Capt. Shields was wounded
early in the fight, but continued to
direct the operations of the rear guard
during four miles of retreat. He
finally was knocked out by bullet
through the jaw, neck and shoulder,
which was thought at the time to be
fatal wound. The rescue of the
party was effected by Gen. Hare, who
some months before, when only a col
onel, led the party which effected the
rescue of Lieut.. Gilmore and the men
from the Yorktown, after their long
months of captivity in northern Lu-
zon. Capt. Shields and his men say
that they have no complaint to make
Of their treatment during captivity.

| THE PORTER CREMATION.
Sheriff Freeman of Lincoln County,
Col, Replies to District At
torney McAllister.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS WOULD Be FUTILE.
While Not JuatifyinE the Act, He
Says He VIII Not Involve Lincoln
County i'm Needless and FruitIeHa
Litigation Against Its own Citi-
Eens-NO Politics Involved.

Denver, Col, Nov. ~26.-The Rocky
Mountain News prints the reply of
Sheriff Freeman of Lincoln county,
to the letter of District Attorney Nc
Allister of Colorado Springs, Col, con-
cerning the prosecution of the per-
sons who burned the negro murderer,
Preston Porter, at the stake at
Limon, Col, recently.
Victim of Misplaced Confidence.
After telling of how he was inhu-
enced into taking Porter from Den
yer to Limon upon the assurance of
leading citizens of Lincoln county
that he would be allowed to pass
through Limon unmolested to Hugo,
where he would be permitted to place
Porter in the county Jail, Sheriff
Freeman declares that it would be i'm
possible to get a jury in Lincoln or
any adjoining county that would con-
Wet any one charged with participa-
tion in the burning of Preston Porter.
He concludes as follows:
Declines to Take Action.
81 do not justify the cremation, but
1 do object to having you and Gov.
Thomas saddle the blame of this
burning on me and l will not involve
Lincoln county in a needless and
fruitless litigation against its own
citizens or give additional advertise
ment to the state of Colorado for the
sole purpose of making, as it seems to
me, political capital for somebody.
No Politics in 1t.
81 want to add that politics cut no
ice in this affair. While Lincoln
county is a republican county, the
men who participated in this lynch
ing were Representatives of all polit-
ical parties. When it comes to admin
istering death to a brute who first
assaults a child and then stabs and
kicks her to death, take it that true
Americans lose sight of mere politics
and remember only that they are fa-
theirs and brothers. 1t seems to me
that we would better let this episode
rest where it now is"
