of the Battle aa Told by a Vv
Correspondent The Troop
JoogM With Greet Bravery, Though
flrrd on From juudum.
iralker, Minn., Oct S.-J. C Beaton,
f the three newspaper men ma
nned with General Bacon's troops on
?L. point, wire the Minneapolis
Tribune a long account of the battle,
describing the landing he says:.
As there was no indication of trouble
Brill Knappen nd myself made up
" ninds to go back to Walker on the
t0 be sent by General Bacon for
tbe tents and rations for another day.
L vers down at the landing, waiting
lor rowboaU to take us to Che steamer,
hen s shot was heard. Immediately
n ran back to the crest of the hill,
then s volley came from the woods
w the front of us.
-Run to cover," some one cried, and
the soldiers grabbed their guns and
to tbe left I hurried down to the
beach, where I was soon safely boused
behind big boulders and brush. As I
jjn down, however, more bullets
thased me, and It was a wonder that
gjvgelf and those with me were not
killed.
"Steady, men, steady," was the first
Kund of a voice we beard, and as I
raised my bead I could see General
Bacon running about with his troops.
"Get up In the firing line," was the
next order given, and tbe mon of tbe
(ichtlng Third were seen to run
through tbe grass and woods In the di
rection from which tbe shots bad been
Hred.
The men continued to advance. The
three officers were everywhere, Major
Wilkinson in charge of tbe left flank,
General Bacon in charge of tbe center
ind Lieutenant Ross in charge oi the
right flank. Tbe soldiers were running
tlong, it appeared to me, on their
hands and knees, dropping every mo
ment to Are a volley into the ranks
of the enemy. The officers, however,
stood In tbe open.
For 30 minutes there was a cease
less roar, and every Uttlo while we
could hear cries of the men who bad
been shot. I looked up once and saw
that Major Wilkinson had been injur
ed, but where I did not know. I heard
him cry: "Ross, I've been wounded,
hut won't give up, for it's not bad."
Tbe next moment, as tie stood right
back of his firing line, calling to bis
men, "Give it to them, boys; you got
them going; give it to them; they are
cowards, and they're going to run," he
teemed to stagger and Surgeon Ross
tan towards him.
"Give them hell, general, give them
hell," Wilkinson called at the top of
his voice over toward tbe central flank,
where General Bacon was taking aim
it a red man. Then he foil into the
arms of the doctor, who carried him
Into the log cabin at the crest of tho
hill, where he died in one hour and
30 minutes later.
About the same time tbe major fell
Private Powell, who was running from
one cover to another, was seen to drop
and in the evening after darkness had
come be was carried to the little cabin,
tbe victim of another bullet from the
Indians' Winchesters.
Suddenly to our right we heard tbe
voice of Colonel Sheehan, of St. Paul,
deputy United States marshal. We
glanced up and could see the veteran
Indian fighter leading an advance by
portion of the right flank.
"You've got them whipped, boys;
you've got them whipped. Give It to
them, give it to them," the colonel
was yelling at the top of his voice.
Every time his voice was heard a
volley rang out and every time it was
further away from us. Afterwr-ds we
learned that we had the colonel to
thank for our lives. Some Indians had
attempted to turn our right flank and
attack the civilians on tbe beach. The
colonel saw us and realized our danger,
and his gallant attack had undoubtedly
saved our lives. Soon afterward he
joined us, having been wounded In the
abdomen.
We lay in wait for some time, and
finally I started out to reconnolter. It
did not take me long to learn that our
troops were masters of the situation,
and we at once summoned the com
pany physician, who attended to Colo
nel Shcohan's wound, which proved to
be not serious.
Onr casualties In the battlo were
only six soldiers killed and eleven
wounded, while five civilians were
slightly wounded. The dead soldiers,
who survived tho battles before Santi
ago to be slain by murderous Indians,
are Major Mlllvtlle Wilkinson, Sorgeant
William Butlor, Edward Lowe, John
Olmstoad, John Swallonstock and Al
fred Zebell.
General Dacon escaped without a
scratch. He arrived hore yesterday
and sent the following dispatch to tho
war department at Washington:
"Arrived hero at noon with my do
fnchmont In good condition. Tho kill
ed and bndly wounded have been ship
ped to Fort Snolllng. Tbe Indians
have boon badly whipped and loft the
country adjacent to tho Unlit. En
route hore other Chippewa bnnds dis
played white flags along tho lake
shore. Have been In no danger of
massacre and need no reinforcements.
Colonel Harbach's coming was good
In Bonding out boats."
A Warning to tho Indians.

council was held at the agency yes
terday afternoon, and was well attend

COMMISSIONER EVANS' DENIAL.
Refutation of Champa Made at the
G. A. It. Encampment, e -
Washington, Oct. 11. There has been
wide circulation given to the story
originating at the recent encampment
of the G. A. R. at Cincinnati that "the
commissioner of pensions had called his
chiefs together and Instructed them
to disregard totally every application
based on deafness and rheumatism in
the adjudication of claims for pen
sions." The commissioner authorises
the following statement:
"No such Instructions were given.
The present medical referee of the bu
reau. Dr. J. K. Haul), a prlmlnent O. A.
R. man, says there has been no change
In the adjudication of claims for deaf
ness since the present schedule of rat
ings, which was appro veil Dec. 4, 1891,
In accordance with the act of Aug. 27,
18X8. The present chief of the board of
review, Colonel F. D. Stoppenon, also
a prominent G. A. R man, Bays there
has been ns change In the adjudication
of claims for rheumatism since he came
to the bureau In 1869. There has prob
ably not a single working day passed
since April 1, 1897, that there has not
been certificates Issued for both denf
ness and rheumatism. There has been
no change In the laws, therefore no
change In the practice during the pres
ent administration."
CHINESE RETROGRESSION.
Th Flowery Kingdom Is Not Ready
For Reform Movements.
London, Oct. 11. The Pekln corre
spondent of The Times says: The ret
rograde movement spreads. An Im
perial edict orders the suppression of
the native press and the punishment of
the editors. It also canrels all the new
methods of examination promulgated
during the last 12 months. The latter
step must give general satisfaction.
since the proposed changes were too
radical for the people.
All of those who have signed mem
orials In favor of reform have been dis
missed from office. The board of agrl
culture Is abolished, Its president, Wu
Mao Ting, rompradore of the Hong
Kong and Shanghai bank, being de
prived of his rank. A memorial Im
peached him as a "slave of foreign
devils."
. Huang, former consul at Singapore,
and lately minister designate of China
to Japan, was arrested at Shanghai
yesterday by order of the empress
dowager Ih connection with the reform
movement. Her general proscription
of the progressives constitutes a reign
of terror.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct 11.
Wild rumors of depredations In the
western part of the Island continue,
hut there Is little foundation for them,
though a certain disorderly element Is
till seeking the opportunity of per
onal vengeance.
Inquiry here aa to the stories, which
are of Fpanlsh origin, shows that they
are greatly exaggerated. For Instance,
there la a report In circulation of the
killing of a German merchant at May
agues and of the killing of several men
at Areclbo. All this is entirely without
foundation, though the Areclbo story
probably arises from a recent accident
In the vicinity, which resulted In the
killing of an American soldier.

Pittsburg. Oct. U- WHh th bril
liancy of Incandescence, emanating
from aearly a half million 'leetrtc
lights, the conclave of ths Knights
Templar fairly started last night, and
today close, upon SO.000 pilgrims are
reveling In each other's hospitality.
Except a few stragglers, every com
mandery which was expected to rep
resented has now a delegation on the
ground. Souvenirs of all shaps. stses
and designs are In abundant evidence.
and most of the knights are bedecked
with decorations.
The sights In the streets have never
been equaled In this city as far as the
crowds are concrned. Street car trafllo
Is at a standstill and vehicles of all
descriptions are banished from down
town thoroughfares, while every Inch
of ground Is monopolised by tens of
thousands of pedestrians.
The brilliancy of the city's street
decorations marks an epoch In the his
tory of electric Illumination. Within
a radius of four blocks from the heart
of the city 400.000 Incandescent lamps
burn every night. Huge electric crosses
and other emblems of templarlsm ara
suspended on the sides and fronts of
the city's tallest buildings, and from
nearly every store or shop In the down
town district.
Electioneering for the honor of hold
ing the next conclave Is In active prog
ress. In this respect the Louisville
people are apparently In the lead. They
are very active, and confidently assert
they will win. Yesterday afternoon the
members from the Minnesota com-
manderies virtually gave up the con
test they had expected to make in
favor of St. Paul. Northern New York
delegations are "plugging" for all they
are worth to have the next conclave
held at Niagara Falls In 1901. How
ever, It Is as yet difficult to tell what
the outcome will be, because a decision
will not be reached until Thursday
morning.
