For days the tired forces had fought
over the same ground, advancing and
retreating, tasting victory and then
defeat. The big guns all along the
front kept up a continuous roar as the
Japs poured in remorseless rain of
shells. The Russians stubbornly con-
testing every inch of ground, every
trench and hill, were being slowly
driven back, leaving their dead in
scores. The rows of silent bodies in
the captured trenches told a story of
logged resistance.
One position alone withstood the
reckless attacks of the Japanese. Time
after time Kuroki had hurled his regi-
ments up the slope, to have them re-
treat broken and shattered. 1t was
the key to the enemy's position, and
IL taken, would turn an orderly retreat
into a rout. Full we'll this was re-
allied. and that morning came the or
der from headquarters to take the po-
sition at any cost.
The weary, powder-begrimed rem
nant gave place to fresh regiments
of little brown men in khaki. Prep
arations for the assault had begun:
from both sides the firing became de-
sultory and then ceased altogether. 1t
was the lull before the storm, and the
only sound that broke the stiffness
was the occasional murmur from the
trenches and the tramp of a column
as it moved into line.
Among the reserves, arriving from
the south the night before, was the
battalion from Dayo Zaka; fresh
young fellows with a scattering of
toughened veterans, whose little eyes
danced as they got foretaste of the
battle that was to come, with the whir
of bullets and the clash of steel.
Lynx-eyed, the solemn-faced officers
squatted behind the line, and talked
in monosyllables to the men; now and
then they grunted out a few gruff
words of encouragement, as some
young fellow, counting his chances of
survival, grew nervous under the
strain
Among these was little Amano jim
suke. With his round baby face, and
great brown eyes, guilelessness shi-
ming from them, he became at once
the butt for all teasing, and the gen.
eral favorite of the men, With his
quiet manners he had soon put a stop
to the chatting. except now and then
the grizzled sergeant who led his pla-
toon, could not resist the temptation
to tell him some narrowing tale of
bloody skirmishes or fierce assaults,
just to see his eyes grow larger with
wonder and fear.
AS he lay at full length. waiting the
general order for the advance, his
thoughts turned to his home in far
of sunny Japan. His eyes filed with
tears as he saw his aged father and
his tiny sister anxiously awaiting IT,
dfngs from the front: as for Onoto,

sapping their nerve, and making them
dig their nails in the wet grass and
savagely grit their teeth.
A man next TO Amano turned to him
to make remark; with an oath he
sprang into the air, and fell back,
while the warm blood from the wound
spurted over the arm and shoulder of
the boy by his side. For a moment
he lay rigid. and then, blanched to the
lips, tainted dead away
1t ran along the line, that the quiet
modest little fellow in the Dango COM
pany had tainted at the first sight of
blood; some laughed nervously, others
cursed AS the sergeant poured a
drop of brandy between the blue lips,
there was a fear Juggling at his heart,
that after all the boy was a coward.
In spite of his timid ways the old man
had vouched for his manhood.
Realizing the shame of it as he re-
vived, Amano's face frightened and his
eyes grew not. AS he patted him on
the shoulder. his comrade caught sight
of a face filed with unalterable deter
mination.
Deployed in line of skirmishers. the
attacking columns had twice swept up
the hill to fall back, crumpled and
broken. Like ants they swarmed over
the fences and gullies. only to be
hurled back, decimated by the wither-
ing fire.
Orderlies dashed up and down the
line. the bugles sounded, the officers
squatting behind the line, scabbards

seemed to come from his own empty

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
House Leaders Decide on Modified
Provision for Participation Of Gov
ernmcnf.

Washington, March 1.-The House
leaders today decided on a modification
provision for government participation
III the exposition planned to be held in
the vicinity Of Jamestown. Va, on and
near the waters of Hampton Roads in
1867. Speaker Cannon has given the
amended bill right of way in the House,
following the disposal OF the general
deficiency bill.
The bill provides for an international
naval, marine and military exposition:
for the appointment Of Ave govern
ment commissioners to make arrange
ments for the same, to be appointed
July I, at salaries of $1,000 each; for
the extension of ar invitation to for
elgn countries 10 participate by send
ing warships n representatives OF
their military organizations. For the
official entertainment Of those repre-
sentatives $150.000 is appropriated. SIS
900 to be used by the navy and S25, 600 by
the army.
An appropriation Of S100.0 COO is made
for the salaries and expenses of the
commission and for the erection OF a
monument on Jamestown island to
commemorate the first settlement Of
English speaking people, Oh this CONT
nent, $780, 600 is appropriated.
The understanding among the House
leaders to put the bill through today
was subsequently modified on account
of difficulty in getting the modified bill
in shape to be properly placed before
members of the House. The advocates
of the measure will now confine their
efforts in behalf of the bill TO get the
modified proposition as a rider on the
sundry civil bill in the Senate and in
that form getting action by the House.
