A. CIVIL WAR BREAKFAST FIGHT.
From The Baltimore Sun


Apropos of the recent disaster to our troops in
the Philippines, who were surprised at breakfast
the command being nearly annihilated, a we'll
known Grand Army man of this city relates a
story of attack upon a small band by overwhem-
ing numbers of the enemy, and his wellnigh mi
raculous escape from death. 1t happened In
Northwest Arkansas about ten fifteen miles
from Fayetteville in 1862. A detachment of 600
ascertain the whereabouts of the foe % 600 or
30O strong, and had stopped after forced march,
which occupied from o'clock in the evening until
o'clock the next morning, in narrow lane for
breakfast, when almost the entire force of the
enemy charged upon them from the surrounding
woods. Many of the narrator's comrades were
their horses and endeavored to escape A stam-
pede enSued. which the officer in charge tried to
check by shouting words OF command The horse
OF the trooper being OF the best in the detach
ment carried its rider over fence deep into the
forest to place of comparative safety and there
dropped in its tracks, having received fatal
wound during its flight.
Just l had stripped the noble animal and
turned him loose-for dared not shoot for fear
the report would reach hostile ears-I heard the
sound OF horses hoofs coming down the bride

as possible. The approaching equine now dashed

event happened that l have always placed to the
kind intervention of Providence The horse in
stead of passing by at the frantic speed at
which he travelling, halted Immediately in
front of me. He stood quietly as my own horse
would have done. All l had to do was TO take one
step, grasp the bride. put my foot in the stirrup
and dash away
After a hard gallop of about three hours
reached our lines and rejoined my company The
entire force was drawn up in line of battle when
we lost over three-fourths of the GOO men in that
surprise IN the lane. Most of the who got

OUTBREAKS IN SAMAR.
MAY SERIOUSLY CHECK PACIFICATION
OF THE PHILIPPINES.
AT ABOUT ITS PRESENT STRENGTH
FOR AN INDEFINITE TIME

Washington, Oct. 19-One of the questions
that will require the prompt and serious con-
sideration Of Secretary Root on his return to
this city next week will be the military situa-
uon in the Philippines. The recent outbreaks
In the island Of Samar have disturbed the
thorities considerably. 1t is realized that they
may prove a setback to the plans of the admin
istratiOn for the paciication of the Philippines
and the extension of American sovereignty
There is no longer any prospect OF a sub
stantial reduction in the strength of the Philip
pine army for some time TO come. In fact, the
latest advices from General Chaffee contain ar
guments against any reduction of his force at
this time, except as required by the expiration
Of enlistments. As was pointed out by General
Corbin in his annual report the army will lose
nearly two thousand men a month this ac-
count. The War Department officials are now
considering how to meet this prospective de-
ficiency without impairing the efficiency of the
military establishment in the Philippines Cen
eral Chaffee has said that he viii require three
extra transports to assist in bringing home the
short term men within the next six or eight
months. The Quartermaster's Department has
selected the transports Meade. Rosecrans and
Egbert for this service. The last two named
Will leave Washington ports in few weeks for
Manila. They viii take out civilian employees
and supplies. The Meade, which is at San Fran
cisco, is being held in reserve for the purpose
of taking out troops TO replace those to be
brought home.
Other vessels which will be utilized in taking
troops TO the Philippines are the Grant at San
Francisco, and the Crook, at New-York. The
former, which is expected to sail about the
Inidle OF next month, will carry out an entire
regiment, with its equipment and the Crook
viii take the nucleus Of another regiment and
number OF recruits. She will start about De-

probable that the 2sth Infantry, now in the De-
partment Of the Columbia, will be sent to the
