nothing in the dispatch to indicate Off
hand its purport, but he shortly learn
ed that it was to be another transfer
of command. the third important n
in his war career The first two trans
fers had led to complete transforma-
ton of his fortunes.
Reporting to Thomas. who was his
chief, Sheridan was informed that he
was to command the cavalry corps of
the Army of the Potomac in Virginia.
AT the time he was leader of a division
of infantry in the Army of the Cumber-
land and subordinate to Thomas. the
commander of the army.
Had Been Colonel Of Cavalry.
AS colonel of the Second Michigan
cavalry Sheridan, within the brief per-
iod of May to August, 1862. had won
the sta of brigadier. general. That
star gave him his second transfer and
Transformation of fortunes. The first
transfer, marked by the acquisition of
a pair of eagles for shoulder straps,
had lifted him from the u%neventful
though useful post of army quarter
master.
While serving as quartermaster on
the staff of General II. w. Halleck,
with the rank of captain. Sheridan
was rendered the colonelcy of the Sec
ond Michigan cavalry. General Hal
leck forbid his acceptance because the
Second was a volunteer command and
Sheridan a regular army officer.
Sheridan took the setback to heart
because shortly before General w. T.
Sherman. whose interest was some
what personal, had tried in vain to
have him commissioned colonel in an
Ohio regiment. After leaving Halleck's
presence very much c%restfallen Sher-
idan plucked up courage to go back
and plead f,r a reconsideration. Final
ly Halleck yielded, and within an hour
or two a new colonel, wearing bor-
rowed eagles upon an infantry cap
tain's coat, was g%alloping past the
army outposts with a thousand sabers
at his back, bent on Q raid into the en-
emy's territory.
Bonneville, Miss. in July, 1862, gave
Sheridan a star and a transfer from
cavalry to infantry and from Missis-
sippi to Kentucky. He didn't learn of
the star until he reached Louisville to
assist the unfortunate General William
Nelson in the defense of that region
against Confederate invasion. Nelson
bantered the newcomer for not appear
ing In proper uniform, then handed
him a dispatch to the effect that he
had been made brigadier general for

Banks Army Moves to Battle.

After tedious days of getting his
army and fleet together at Alexandria,
La, General n. p. Banks started the
combined army and navy expedition
up Red river on March 90. The ships,
under Admiral ID. d. Porter. experience
ed trouble in getting past the rapids
above Alexandria. By April 3, how
ever, the troops on land and the fight
ing fleet. with It's huge convoy of
transports. forty vessels in all, were
moving freely on.
The Red river section Is cotton pro
ducing. and millions of bales had been
hauled to points convenient for ship
ment. This wealth the Federals could
harvest provided the navy could go up
the river and protect the work of load
ing and transporting. Banks delay
necessarily delayed the progress of
Porter's fleet much above Alexandria.
Aware Of the difficulties in the way of
the Federals and also Of their overpow-
ering strength If successful In pene-
trating the upper country, the Confed-
crates made ready to destroy all their
cotton the moment it should be ex-
posed to danger. This would be when
Porter's ships hove in sight.
As the fleet advanced above the rap
ids watchful Confederate scouts fired
the cotton for miles along both banks,
destroying millions Of dollars worth
every day. The ships depended for fuel
on cottonwood fence rails. which the
troops and sailors gathered along
shore. When it was too late the Con-
federates saw the mistake of not first
destroying the cottonwood and thereby
saving the necessity of sacrificing their
wealth in cotton.

Biscuits From Wheat Harvested
Same Day for Hands.
Farmers Get Police to Round
Up Unwilling Workers.

Delphos. KAN. June 30.-The first
mature harvest stunt Of the 1914 sea-
SON was pulled off here when Mr. Hos
sfcks, q farmer living a few miles east
OF town. ate biscuits for supper. In
the morning, Mr.. Hossicks was busy
cutting grain, while his neighbor a
mile away was busy threshing. Seized
with the abnormal desire to DO some
thing out of the ordinary. Mr.. Hossicks
stopped his binder and loaded up a
load OF sheaves, took them to the
thresher and by noon was back home
with the grain. Loading few bushels
into q wagon. he hastened to town and
arrived home from the mill at o'clock
with the flour. Mrs. Hossick was call
ed upon then to prepare biscuits for
supper. At $50 the harvest hands
were gathered around q feast Of bis
cults made from the grain cut after .
o'clock in the morning. It il not often
that this stunt is pulled off, but 1t Is
a fair sample of the speed obtained
occasionally in Kansas harvest field.

ARMY WIPED OUT.
General Barron's Force Was Utterly
Annihilated at Zacatecas.

Torreon, June 3O.-Railroad men
brought the information today that
General Medina Barron, commander of
the federal garrison. defeated last Tues
day. at Zacatecas, had reached Aguas
Calientes with only fourteen men.
General Barron was wounded in the
thigh, they said. The body Of General
Olea, another federal commander, has
been found in the position his men oc-
cupied ON the Zacatecas battlefield, ac-
cording to reports made to General
Villa, who was here today. A son OF
General Barron, a major, also was
killed and his body found and identi-
fed.
The only group Of federals which left
Zacatecas In any order was one Of about
200 men, 1t has been learned. All others
fled panic stricken. So far as 1t has been
possible to ascertain, the federals who
managed to escape the rebel fire num-
bered no more than 800. The garrison
consisted Of from fourteen to fifteen thou
sand men About five thousand were ia
ken prisoners.
The extensive battle-ground has made
accurate figures difficult to secure On
the Guadalupe road leading to the city
some two thousand federals died, while
more than four hundred bodies were found

Sending Delegates.
The A. b. G. MediatOrs Have
Nothing Left to Do.

Niagara Falls. June 30.-After a
conference today between Ambassa-
dor Da Cana of Brazil and Ministers
Naon and Suarez. it was announced
that mediation would formally recess
tomorrow until such time as the con-
stitutionalist delegates and Huerta
representatives could confer infor-
mally on Mexico's internal problems.
The mediators came to this decision
after reading General Carranza's note
asking for time to consult his generals
as to the informal parleys. Minister
Suarez referred to the Carranza note
as satisfactory and sensible in its
explanation of the need for time. All
the mediators and their secretaries
began Immediately to make plans for
departure tomorrow or Thursday and
it is now expected that by the end of
the week the entire mediation colony
will have left here.
No time has been set for reconven-
ing of the mediation conference, but
it is not believed they win gather
again for another ito or three weeks.

turned here today after q weeks va
cation.

tive in Washington. reached Ambassa-
dor Da CANA Immediately on his ar
rival. 1t sets forth in polite phrases
the thanks Of General Carranza for
the invitation OF the mediators to send
constitutionalists to participate in in
formal conferences with Huerta dele
gates for the selection of q provisional
president and the solution Of other in
terna1 problems. Carranza states, how
ever. he would like to have more time
in which to consult his subordinate
chiefs and generals before acting on
the Invitation. He gives no inkling as
to whether or not it will be accepted
ultimately, but explains that any
change in the plan of Guadalupe,
which is the platform of the constitu-
tionalist movement. requires the ap-
proval of the signatories to it. The
plan provides for q military conquest
of Mexico City and the establishment
of revolutionary government there.
General Carranza gave the mediators
no intimatiOn as to how long it would
take him to consult his generals and
chiefs.
