Ed Little's Leadership of His Battalion at Malolos.

Lieut. Col. Little sends to his parents the following which was sent to him with congratulations by Conner Malott. It is from the N. Y.

Times: While the Twentieth Kansas regiment was advancing on Malolos, the main body of men halted, while the then Colonel Funston and a small detachment went accross the railroad bridge on 8 scouting expedition. Finding no signs of insurgents, he sent back word for the regiment to come on. Just as they started the enemy appeared in great numbers, running from a neighboring wood with intention of cutting off the reconnoitering party and destroying before the support could be brought up. The rebels took a position from which they could direct a hot fire on the bridge, and as it was a high one, overwhich the open railroad ties gave only a rather dangerous and difficult passage, the situation was one well' calculated to putting Kansas courage and zeal to the test. Of course, there was 110 hesitation: the bridge was traversed the scouts: rescued, and the Filipinos put to flight.

As battles go in some wars, the affair did not amount to much, but still those who participated in it could have been forgiven if, in writing home to friends, they had dwelt a little on the gravity of the perils encountered. That, however, would have involved a claim for special credit, and such claims are not made by our fighters in the field. They prefer to turn their hardships and exertions into jokes. This tendency is well illustrated in the description by Lieutenant-Colonel E. C.

Little, in letter in which the details of the skirmish are given. Of the charge over the bridge he says: the colonel was across and my battalion at the head of the column, my ler, Berry of and were the first to reach the bridge, and of course, the first to That "of course" is delightful in many ways, and significant in as many more. But, being a man of the century's end, Lieutenant-Colonel Little is introspective as well as enegetic, and, fighting over, he examined into the emotions it produced. read," he adds, men crossing the bridge under tire at the head of columns, and supposed, the sensation was peculiar. not.

A man simply tries to paddle along 88 fast as he can and get across. I beat Berry over, but we haven't decided yet whether it was because I was braver or the worst scared." That, too, is delightful, and it recalls the Funstonian confession of hesitation to order charges for fear of getting over" by the too-obedient soldiers. It must be decidedly exciting for the enemy who meets either Funston or Little when these officers are thoroughly scared. Mr. Little also sends copy of Gen.

Otis' order showing that he commanded 20th Kansas April 2-10 and May 10-23. Mr. Little adds: includes part of the time I was in command. Metcalf was at the front May to June 23 but in fact was never under fire, being unable to leave headquarters." School Notice. To the Patrons of School District No.
