by dispatches from Washington quot

ing that all state militia units would
be rushed to the border as soon as
equipped, officers of the Colorado Ma
tional Guard reviewed the complete
state complement, unofficial an
nouncement coming later that the fol-
lowing companies are ready to move
at moments notice: Troops A and
d, cavalry; Battery B. artillery, and
four companies of infantry.
Cavalry troop A is over its mini
mum strength, having fully eighty
five men on its rolls, the majority of
these men being seasoned campaign
ers who have seen service in the reg
ular army. Every officer of the
troop is a former United States cav
alryman. Troop d of Boulder, COM
manded by Capt. Fl. G. Washburn, also
is up TO its minimum strength. Both
troops are in need of horses, but
these could be furnished when the
men reach the border.
Battery B of Denver, commanded by
Capt. G. A. Blanchard, was up to
strength when it left this city for the
rifle range at Golden. 1t is one Of
the best equipped detachments in the
state, and is ready to entrain at any
minute. With the addition of four in
fantry companies, Colorado is pre-
pared TO send about GOO officers and
men to the border.
While no official confirmation OF
this statement was obtainable, it is
currently reported that three of the
four infantry companies up to mini
mum strength, or SO near to mini
mum strength that at any minute they
will be ready to move, are Company
H of Seibert, Company c of Lamar
and Company X of Canon City.
The states share of the expense Of
getting the guard into shape will total

endorsements to CORVALLIS.
CORVALLIS now saw the net drawing
around him. He sent messenger after
messenger calling for more troops.
None came. He was hemmed in. The
French fleet blockaded the mouth of
York river, and September % the
French and American army marched
out from Williamsburg and spread
around the doomed town. Yorktown
in that day was only n village Of some
60 houses.
The French troops occupied half the
lines and the Americans the other
half. They began regular siege tao
tics. Parties Of sappers would steal
out from the lines at night and silent
ly build new parapets nearer the
British lines. 1t was risky duty, but
volunteers in plenty were found for
the work.
All Was Not Well.
The night Of October 6, Maj. Elijah
commanded redoubt building party.
They stole quietly to within quarter
Of q mile of the British lines. A few
men stood guard while the others
worked. No one was allowed to talk.
The handles of all the tools were muf-
fled so that not the slightest sound
would be made. They were so close
that the call of the British sentries
of Twelve o'clock and alls WE'LL"
came clearly to the ears of the Ameri-
cans. Had the British only known it,
all wns not well.
When morning came the British
were astounded to see the fort that
had risen during the night. Major Favor
had done his work well. His earth
works had been completed and two
cannon mounted in them. AS soon us
the British saw this they began a
furious bombnrdment, but it was fu-
tile. The American redoubt had been
well built.
The next night heavier guns were
placed in the American works, and
a few nights later the daring Major
Favor built line of earthworks SO
close to the British redoubts that one
could almost hurl ball from one to
the other.

Washington decided to hoodwink
Clinton If possible. He made great
display with his troops before New
York and convinced the British there
that he Intended to attack them. Clin-
ton sent hurried dispatch to Corn
wallis asking him to send 5000 men.
That was just what Washington
wanted.

Lafayette. with his little force, took
station at Williamsburg. only 10
miles away, and watched every move
the British made. Williamsburg was
rebellious town. and Mt that time
capital of Virginia. 1t was there
that Patrick Henry made his famous
speech In the house of burgesses in
March, 1875. when he said:
"There Is no retreat but In submls-
sion and slavery. Our chains are
forged; their clanking may be heard
on the plains of Boston. I
know not what course others may
take, but as for me, give me liberty
or give me DEATH"
CORVALLIS had 1000 soldiers and
5000 teamsters and others. The
French feet under Admiral de Grasse
had sailed for the American coast,
and the British fleet was forced to
take station to cover New York,
where 1t was believed the French
would strike. The two fleets met in

CORVALLIS Is Desperate.
Such courage was too much for the
British. Some ran and others threw
down their arms.
The French met with sitter recep-
ton. For an hour and half the
fighting went on in their redoubt. Then
the British capltulated. Thus. in one
night, the allied army had sealed
Cornwalls securely in the trap.
CORVALLIS now became desperate.
He tried every means he could invent
to force Washington to withdraw. Oc-

troops made sortie. They fought

The British general next trieds to-
move his army across the river and
take Washington on the flank. Winds
and high water forced him to aban-

using the home of Governor Nelson Of
Virginia for his headquarters. Gov

The next morning the brave gov
