when the news of the death of Rear
known. He was fearless and kindly
and a good story teller. He had hosts
of warm friends both among the Off
GERS and those outside the service. Ad-
miral Dewey expressed himself as
shocked at the news. Coghlan was
with Dewey at the battle of Manila
bay, in command of the cruiser Raleigh

work in that battle. He enjoyed the
admiral's confidence to marked de-
gree and was dispatched by him on
various important missions While the
fleet was in the Philippines.

1t was Coghlan's popularity and ca
pacity as a good story teller that in
volved him in an incident Of which
much was made at the time, when the
admiral recited the poem, "Hoch Der
Kaiser" which somewhat ruffled the
German authorities. The incident oc-
Cured at dinner which the admiral
attended, and it was not intended that
the fact of the recital should become
public The navy department called on
the admiral for explanation. The ad-
miral replied that no disrespect was
meant by him towards the German en-
peror. and with this statement the
matter was allowed to drop.
Coghlan was native of entucky.
He was born in 1874 and he had active
service in the civil and Spanish wars.

old subscriber OF your valuable soldier
paper and expect to continue to be a
subscriber as long as j can see to read
or hear another read. / have been in
terested in all articles in reference to
the Vicksburg campaign, and wish to

Rivers to Arkansas Post. where ON
Jan. II, SO, we engaged and captured
that stronghold, after an attack OF
three and half hours, taking between
1000 and 5000 prisoners, and 20 pieces
OF artillery. After destroying the fort
and barracks of the garrison we return
ed TO the Mississippi. and down to the
vicinity Of Vickshurg, landing at the
Grover plantation. five miles above the
city, on the Louisiana side. The next
day our brigade was ordered to march
across the peninsula, two miles, to the
river five miles below the city, where
we camped behind the levee. The next
morning a dense fog obscured every
thing from view at a distance of 20
feet Desiring wood for fuel, I ven
tured out across the levee to the river
bank, where l presently and distinctly
heard the regular putting of a river
steamer, approaching from below, in
the fog. Instantly I returned - our
camp and informed Capt. Hibler. of Co.
/, who, assuring me that we had no
craft on the river, below, at that time,
quickly got detail of Is men and
went to intercept the intruder. Slowly
the visitor approached our position,
and proceeded to land near a large pile
of corwood. Our men demanded an
immediate surrender; they attempted
to pull out, but few shots through
the pilot house induced them to sur
render and come ashore. She proved
to be the small sidewheeied steamer
DeSoto plying between Vic':sburg and
points below. We soon had crew put
aboard of her from our regiment and
she made a number of short trips up
a bayou, nearly opposite Warrenton,
where they secured number of bales
of cotton and other plumber. She con-
tinued to do service for several days.

Editor National Tribune: VIII you
please give me some facts in regard to
the killing of Gen. Bob McCook -
Quincy A. Monroe, Madse, Okla.
Gen. Robert l.. McCook was in COM
mand of a brigade in northern Alabama
and so i'll that he was ordered TO return
to Nashville. but he persisted in re-
naming with his troops, riding in an
ambulance. On the morning OF Aug 5,
1862, he was in an ambulance in the
middle of his brigade. There was a
mistake in regard to the order of
march, and the ambulance with the
headquarters wagon went on ahead, ex-
pecting to be overtaken. The General
sent off his escort to seek for a good
camping place, and while thus unpro-
tected party of guerrilias attacked the
ambulance. Gen. McCook ordered the
men who were with him 10 hold back
the assailants as we'll as possible while
he drove back to bring up the nearest
regiment. The attacking party fol-
lowed and opened fire on the ambu-
lance, altho 1t could be seen there were
only two unarmed men in it. 1t is

PATRIOTIC Segregation.

Comrade C. J. Pierce, Commander of
Fairbanks Post, H. Detroit, Mich, sug-
gests that the Ct. A. r. and all of its
aIxiliaries ought to make it Il special
and regular part of the duties assumed,
to see that in every family in the
United States there is at least one
United States flag, that every little
child and every newcomer from other
countries may be familiarized with Old
Glory; be taught to revere it; to love
it; TO realize that it stands for vital
principles. He suggests, too, that it be-
come fixed custom to present the
Stars and Stripes to every bride and
groom at their marriage; that families
be taught to keep at least one United
States flag among the always visible
decorations in the living rooms of the
home.
