 President Ala. Div, U. D. c.

One of the braye9t and most daring acts that was done during the war, as told by L.. S. Flatau of Texas. a member of Cowan's Battery of vicksburg, Miss, and who is now Chief of Ordinance on General w. k. CabelYs staff, United Confederate Veterans of Texas.
 This act was performed by a Federal soldier whose name was Allen. Flatau with many friends in his battery and the infantry support, was an eye witness. As related by him, the Confederate forces were massed at Snyder's Bluff above vicksburg on the Yazoo River, this be- ing the best way for General Grant to land his forces so as to invest Vicksburg. His transports were loaded with soldiers and came up the Yazoo River, accom- panied by their gun boats so as to make the landing and fight their way around the city. He made feint at the same time at Bruensburg. We anticipated the attack by the way of Snyder's Bluff some miles above the city of Yazoo. We were we'll entrenched and arrayed and anxious for the attack hoping that 1t would be made by this route. My battery was in a fine position. supported by Walls Legion and part of Habear Louisiana Brigade, is my best recollection. The Yankee transport, accompanied by the gunboats, were in full view of us across an old, but beautiful farm in the bot tom, we being in line of battle in our works at the fot of the hills, about a mile from the river with nothing in the way between us and the enemy, what ever, except right near the banks of the river was a considerable growth of heavy timber. They landed between seven and ten thousand men from the transports, formed in line as though they were preparing to advance and charge our works. Whe.i we were just expect ing them to make this move, there was l1orseman moved out from their line and rode direct to our center down an old turn road in the field in plain view of every one in our line of battery. This old turn road was straight and level with no obstruction whatever. As he left the Yankee line they fired volley after volley. as it were, at the rider. but he rode direct to us at breakneck speed and when with in a hundred and fifty yards of us he pulled his hat from his head and whip ped tine beautiful animal he rode with aaiE hat, and at at the top of his voice he cried 'Hurray for Kentucky" The animal he was riding, coming at this fear ful sped. jumped the breastworks within ten feet of my gun and never left her tracks.

BRADBURY NOT SATISFIED.
Former Representative Appeals from
Small Fine.

William S Bradbury has filed an
appeal in the supreme court from the
decision Of the district court Of Clay
county in which he was found guilty
of assault in two different cases and
was sentenced to pay a fine Of SIS in
each case, which together with the
costs amounts to upwards of $50 in the
two cases.
The ordinary defendant would doubt
less pay two SIS fines rather than carry
the cases to the supreme court. but
Bradbury is no ordinary defendant He
is the man who represented Clay coun-
ty in the legislature of 1899. In the
fall of 1901 he got into quarrel with
an old man by the name of Samuel p
Rurnell and his wife, Fidella Burnell
over pasturing some COWS in a field.
Tt is alleged that Bradbury hrutary
assaulted and beat both the old man
and his wife He was arrested for as
sault and battery on each Of them and
after hard legal fight was convicted
in both instances. The cases were
tried a year ago. but the appeal has
just been taken.

HAY LOSES NO TIME.
Files Protests at Both Pekin
and st. Petersburg.

Washington April 27.-Russia's s de-
mands in Manchuria and their effect on
American interests were the subject Oh
a conference yesterday afternoon be-
tween Secretary Hay and Count Cassinl,
the Russian ambassador, which took
place at Secretary Hays house and last
ed for nearly an hour. 1t is denied that
the ambassador brought official adVlces
from his government, but the fact that
he is still suffering from an attack Of
lumbago which has confined him to the
embassy for several weeks is evidence
of the urgency of the call.
Steps already have been taken by the
state department to ascertain the true
inWardness of Russia's latest move.
Ambassador Mccormick, at St. Peters
burg. has been instructed by cable to
present to the Russian foreign Office a
note which, while automatically known
as one of inquiry is III substance a
strong protest against Russia'S de-
mands- Cabled instructions also have
been sent to Minister Conger, at Pekin,
to express to the Chinese authorities the
dissatisfa ction of the United States with
Russia's demands, and our hopes that
China will not accede to them. No an
sWers have yet been received to either
note, though unofficial assurances are
stin reaching the department that
American interests in Manchuria will be
protected. In the departments note
which Ambassador Mccormick proba bly,
has presented already Russia S attention
edly have been given the United States
relative to the preservation of the in
tegrity of China and the continuance OF
the open door policy. Russia also is re-
minded of the severe blow to American
trade which must follow the granting
of the first two demands, that no more
ports or towns in Manchuria be opened
and that no additional foreign consuls
be admitted
Russia's reason for contending for the
closed door in Manchuria is the claim
that the open door is not a commercial
but a political question. She continues
to assure the United States that in some
way this country's interest will be pro-
tected in Manchuria. The point is made
that as the Manchurian demands are
still in negotiation between St. Peters
burg and Pekin, the United States cam
not expect that Russia make concessions
until the fate of her demands has been
determined When China. has aeceded
to all of these demands, it Is suggested
that trade agreement of some sort can
be reached between this country and
Russia which will protect our trade in
terests
Appreeiating the fact that the inter-
ests of this country in Manchuria are
those of trade and not territory Russia,
it is stated. is disposed to make certain
trade concessions to the United States
in Manchuria at the proper time.
