After the engagement at Lexington
on April 10 the British force under
General Gage was increased to 10000
men by the arrival of Generals Howe
Clinton and Burg0yne with their COM
mands from England. These occupied
the town of Boston on peninsula ex-
tending into the harbor. The naval
forces consisted of the Falcon, Lively,
Somerset, Symmetry, Glasgow and
four floating batteries. Across the
Charles river at Cambridge, and on
the surrounding hills, were encamped
between 10000 and 10000 undici-
plined Americans. The British, thus
cut off from communication with the
mainland, were seriously hampered
for provisions, and General Gage con-

BANDIT CHASED BY CAVALRY
Mexican Troops Pursue Rebels in the
Galiana District in Western
Chihuahua-1OO Reported
Near Border.

Washington, June 20.-Coincidental-
ly with the declaration by the Mex
lean government that the incident of
troops at Juarez to protect American
citizens is closed, the state depart
ment announced that strong represen-
tations have been made by American
officials in Mexico to the Mexican gov
eminent for the protection of Ameri-
cans in the disturbed area"
There is general apprehension that
Villa will lose no time in retaliating
upon Americans, as he did in the Co
lumbus massacre.
Secretary Baker said, however, that
there is no intention of dispatching
more troops to the border unless the
situation should become more serious.
Mobilize Troops at FL Paso.
Eel Paso, June 20.-All members of
the 10Th infantry on pass here sud-
denly were ordered to report to their
company commanders Immediately.
Interest in Mexican developments
on this border shifted from the Juarez
sector to the interior, where Ameri-
cans are at the mercy of Francisco
Villa and his force of rebels except
in the larger towns and cities should
Villa start a campaign of reprisal.
Telegraph lines are down south of
JuareZ, the railroad is completely
wrecked between Juarez and Chihua-
hua City and wagon roads are danger
Gus because of Villa'a presence to the
southwest.
Efforts to warn Americans have been
made repeatedly since Sunday night,
but few replies have been received.
Cavalry Chases VIIistas.
Juarez, Mex, June 20.-Villa and
his forces were IN the Galiana dis
trict of Western Chihuahua late Tues
day, according to reports received at
military headquarters. General Pablo
Quiroga, who was sent to the relief of
Juarez with a column of cavalry, is
pursuing the Villa column.
General Gonzales announced that
full guarantees would be given all
Americans crossing to JuareZ from Ell
PaSo, whether on business or as sight
seers.
1t was officially denied any, anti
American demonstrations occurred
here Tuesday.

CFoR YOUR AcD-sToMAcD
KNEW THAT WOULD STOP HIM
Lawyer Evidently Was Well Ac-
quainted With the Weakness OF
His Long-Winded Friend.

G. III. Murphy relates the story of a
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days of his active practice. was
notorious for his ong-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered:
"Can't you stop him, Jack"
"Tll stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
MY Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument I
would like you to join me at the no
tel in a bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst OF
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may it please the court
and gentlemen of the jury, leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding in
stately fashion in the direction of the
hotel bar.

WON STRUGGLE
FOR COLONISTS
What the Battle of Bunker
Hill Meant to the Revo-
Iutionary Cause.
LITTLE before sunset, 143


I u American troops stacked
their guns, threw off their
packs, seized their trenching tools and
set to- work with great spirit. At mid
night Boston was buried in sleep. The
sentry's cry of "All's we'll !" could be
heard distinctly from its shores.
At dawn, 143 years ago, the Ameri-
cans at work were seen by the sailors
on board the British ships of war and
the alarm was given. The captain of
the Lively, the nearest ship, without
waiting for orders, put a spring upon
her cable and, bringing her guns to
bear, opened a fire upon the hill. One
man, among a number who had in
cautiously ventured outside, was kill
ed. A subaltern reported his death to
Colonel Prescott and asked what was
to be done. BURY him." was the re-
ply.
1t was the first fatality in the battle
of Bunker Hill, one of the most mo-
mentouS conflicts in our Revolutionary
history. 1t was the first regular bat
tie between the British and the Ameri-
cans and most eventful in it's conse-
quences. The British had ridiculed
them as dastardly and inefficient; yet
here the best British troops, led on by
experienced officers, were repeatedly
repulsed by an inferior force of that
enemy-mere yeomanry-frOm works
xEvown up Ia a single night, and suf-
fered loss rarely paralleled in battle
with the most veteran soldiers. Ac-
cOrding to their own returns their,
killed and wounded, out of a detach-
ment Of 1000 men, amounted to 1,054
and a large proportion of them Off
GERS. The loss of the Americans was
I'll, out of 1900 men engaged. So the
number of casualties in this battle
was more than 80 per cent of the num-
Der in action, thus placing it among
the bloodieSt battles known to history.
At Waterloo the British loss was less
than "a per cent. No wonder that
June II is to Boston a second Fourth
OF July.
Battle Meant Everything.
A gallant loyalist of Massachusetts,
who fought so well for King George
that he rose to be full general in the
British army, regarded Bunker Fill as
a transaction which controlled every
thing that followed. "You could not"
he would say to his friends ON 1.-The
other side, ''have succeeded without
It."
Bunker Hill exhibited the Ameri-
cans to all the world as people to
be courted by allies and counted with
by foes. 1t was marvel that so many
armed citizens had been got together
80 quickly and still a greater marvel
shat they he'd stayed together so long.

templated a movement to occupy the
several heights near Charlestown, at
Dorchester and adjacent points.
CoIonists Alarmed
The arrival of such a formidable
force of the enemy caused the gravest
concern to the colonists. 1t was ru-
mored that the British would sally
forth from Boston and burn the neigh
boring towns. 1t was to prevent this
that the Americans determined to
fortify Bunker Hill; for if the British
should get out of the city and intrench
upon Dorchester heights to the south
of Boston, the continental position
would be made untenable.
Not an unnecessary sound was made
during the long hours of the night of
June 16, 1875, aEd when dawn came
intrenchments six Icet high along the
side of the hill were disclosed. In the
face of the fire from the enemy ships

plotting their intrenchmentS and, when
there was a slight show of faltering
after a shot better directed than the
others had done some execution in the
trenches, Prescott himself mounted
the works and marched to and fro
with drawn sword, regardless of the
fact that he was a mark for the Brit
ish. He thus preserved the courage of
his men who had never before been
under fire.
British Began Attack.
1t was about three O'Clock in the af-
ternoon when the British troops, sup
ported by terrific bombardment
from the ships in the harbor, adj
vanced in solid column against the
Notifications. Confidently they ap-
preached the works of the Americans,
constituting the silence on the hilltop
as timidity. They changed their atti-
tude on this point when they arrived
within a few hundred feet of the re-
doubt. The Americans had been or
dered to refrain from firing until the
command was given. Thus it was the
British advancing over the open
stretch of ground, painting from the
heat and the weight of their KNAPP
sacks, heard the word Fire - at the
moment of their supreme confidence,
and recOiled before a vOlley that
moved down many of their number.
A deadly fire was poured into the
hn wis Of tho
Americans picking off the officers.
Along the whole line of Notifications,
from the rail fence to the redoubt, the
British columns advanced a second
time and once more were met with
deadly fire. Now, however, they were
prepared for it; although staggered by
the shock, they soon rallied and con-
tinued their advance. The Americans
fired with such rapidity that it seemed
as if continuous stream of fire
poured out from the redoubt.
Brought Help to Prescott.
Although the field was strewn with
their dead, the British again attempt
ed to take the American position.
Prescott had sent for re-enforcements
early in the day and John Stark, with
his New Hampshire company, had
cOurag eOusly crossed CharlestOwn
neck under a severe fire from the enc
my. But the hazard of the attempt
deferred other commanders from
bringing troops to the support of the
brave Prescott.
n INN mi nm Ir1n Cf owl nH cd
and troops tired out from the strain
to which they had been subjected,
Prescott realized the futility of hold
ing his position in the face Of repeat
ed attacks by the reformed and re-en-
forced British lines. Nevertheless, he
determined again to measure his
strength with the adversary; and,
with a command to his men to make
every shot tell, he awaited the adj
vance of the British. Again the latter
were permitted to advance within 20
yards of the American works before
they were fired upon. The British line
was broken, but still it advanced.
With their powder now quite exhaust
ed, the Americans met their opponents
with dubbed muskets and bayonets.
The odds were too great and Pres
cctt ordered his men to retreat. It
was in doing this that the Americans
suffered their heaviest loss; among
others who fell was Warren, one of the
most cherished of the populav leaders.
