MOSBY'S BATTALION
Confederate Veterans Meet
to Recount Tales of Bat
ties and Raids.
CNationai News Association

GROFETON, Va, Aug. 20. - The
Forty-third Battalion, Virginia Cavalry
Army OF Northern Virginia, better
known as "Mosby's men," who won
fame during the Civil war through
their raids on the Federal outposts
and lines of communication, held their
nineteenth annual reunion today on
the field where the second battle of
Bull Run was fought just fifty years
ago. The stirring stories of the war
were retold, songs were sung and
speeches were made by the old COM
served the veterans by the Bull Run
Chapter of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy.
The members of Mosby's battalion,
once numerous in this section of Vir-
ginia, count now little more than a
handful but the survivors express
their determination to hold their re-
unions as long as a single one is left.
1t is not generally known that this
battalion of cavalry was the last body
of Confederate troops in Virginia to
lay down arms. 1t was not until three
weeks after Lee had surrendered that
Col. Mosby disbanded the troopers
who had followed his fortunes. OF
late years Col. Mosby has never at
tended a reunion of his men, owing to
his antipathy to public gatherings of
every kind.

CITY CANNOT MAKE
CHANGE AS ASKED

The city cannot compel grocers and
dealers in food stuffs to sell by
weight. This is the opinion of City
Attorney Gardner expressed before the
board of works this morning. Howev-
er, he will delve deeper into the legal
status of the question.
Matchmaker Taylor appeared be-
fore the board this morning and asked
that this change be made. He stated
that when produce is sold by measure,
the buyer often receives less than he
pays for, as some varieties of fruits
and vegetables will not fit evenly into
a dry measure. Selling by weight would
insure the buyer getting his moneys
worth, Taylor contends.
All the dairymen and coal dealers
in the city will be notified to leave
their measures at the marketmasters
office in the market house after next
Monday. to be tested by the new
weights and measures recently bought
by the city.

MAKES EXPLANATION
OF TAFT'S ACTION
In Cancelling Order for Regi-
ment to Enter Nicaragua
Conditions Better.
National News Association

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-President
Taft's cancellation of his order to the
Tenth infantry to proceed to Nicara-
qua was due to two causes, first. to
the fact the chief executive was not
fully informed as to the available force
Of marines In Nicaragua; second, be-
cause of reassuring news from Com
rlander Thomas Washington of the
cruiser Denver which arrived at Cor
into Tuesday night. Commander Wash
ington's letter was the most reassur-
ing word from Nicaragua in two
weeks. The commander stated that
lively peaceful; that a detachment Of
ninety marines from Managua had ar
rived in Corinto r tuesday,; that the
rebels, frightened by the fighting ships
in the harbor, had promised to restore
railway and telegraph communication
with the interior and to provide safe
conduct for troops sent to protect for
eign property.
Conditions in the Interior Comman-
der Washington says, appear to be Sc
rlous because of the famine which
threatens the county and the increa sed
rebel activity in the vicinity of Chin
andega. The commander does not
think that Americans in Corinto are
in immediate danger but he was un-
able to get in touch with Managua
A dispatch from Consul Johnson at
Corinto, dated a few hours before
Commander Washington's letter,spoke
of numerous rebel threats to capture
and sack the city unless 1t surrender
ed to the insurrectos The governor
Of Corinto replied that the city is un-
der American protection and the rebel
leaders were apparently convinced of
the futility of attacking any town pro.
tected by Uncle Sans men.
A dispatch from Minister Weitzel at
Managua, delayed three days in trans
mission, reported that the rebels were
moving on the capital. 1t is likely that
some Of the sailors landed from the
Denver will be sent Immediately to
Managua to be reinforced later by a
portion of the marines from the Cali.
fornia which arrived today.
The arrival of the California in.
creased the number of American
troops now on Nicaraguan soil to

RUSH OF THE CRESTED SEA.
Mount ST. Miehel's Tidal Wave Ono Of
the Sights Of the World.


At O'Clock in the afternoon people
gather on the causeway that connects
the islet OF Mount st. Michel with the
French coast to watch the coming of
the tide, one of the sights Of the
world
As far as the eye can reach stretches
the gray sand, silent, empty. Seven
miles and half lie between the ocean
and the rock. Presently a strange
murmur pervades the air. It seems
to come from nowhere and yet to be
everywhere. -......
And then far on the horizon lifts a
line Of white. Every moment it draws
nearer, and the sound in the air swells
louder, and then with astonishing
speed up the line Of crested sea, and
in a moment, where it reaches the
sands. there is but a space of swirling
water. And on the waves ride in the
fishing boats that have gone out to
sea on the tide at dawn.
Many tragedy has been caused by
the swift thrush Of this true tidal wave,
for, save along narrow paths, the bot
tom OF this vast, strange bay Is but
quicksand, and after the tide has once
turned and the sound Of its coming is
heard no man can hope to escape its
reach unlesJ he be close indeed to the
mount or the shores Of the mainland
