In view OF the fact that Congress
man A. w. Gregg has introduced the
Brenham war claims bill into this ses'
sion Of congress the story OF the pro-
posed reimbursement for losses inflict'
ed by fire originated by the federal
soldiers during the reconstruction days
will. very likely. be OF interest.
Reconstruction days came with the
end Of the war. In July. 1865. Bren.
ham became a military post. and the
federal soldiers were camped AZ
camptown. from which circumstances
the cclored addition to Brennan de-
rived its name. Commanders were
changed many times. Post and San
ders we're all right. but House Burn.
ing smith. as he was called. gave much
trouble.
The soldiers and the young men Of
BRENNAN became involved In contro-
versy At ball on the evening OF sept.
z. 1856. and the soldiers lntruded In the
ballroom. This the fiery Southerners
resented. with the result that q Bren-
ham man wounded two soldiers and
killed a third. Peace was counseied
by wiser and older men. but without
avail. Late that night In revenge the
soldiers burned the entire section OF
the town in which the dance hall was
situated.

AMERICAN SHIP SENDS sos"
WHEN SUBMARINE ATTACKS

reported attack than was the Caesar.
Both reported early today that they

some other minor damage Yesterday

Caesar was TO proceed to the south,
however. taking refugees TO AIeNan-
dria. while the Des Moines was on
her way to Cyprus under indefinite
orders which might take her To other
Mediterranean islands.
The disposition Of navy officials
was to regard it as impossible that
any American warship had been at
tackled either through accident or
otherwise.
1t was said by officials that an at
tack upon one Of the Greek owned
vessels of American registry might
present rather different problem,
but that it was highly improbable
that the United States would feel
justified in making it an interna-
tional issue.
