THE cu Will

Ihe Battle oi the Wilderness,aa
. lie Saw II, Described lo Nor-
walk Congregationalisls-
Social Session Follows the
Talk '

Colonel C. J. Wright, of Freehold,
N. J., gave a very Interesting and in-
structive address last evening at the
Norwalk Congregational Church, un-
der the auspices of the Egbert Club.

Colonel Wright has delivered several
war talks in Norwalk before and is
well-known to many people of the
town. He at present conducts a mili-
tary school of high order at his home.

He was introduced to the large an-
dience by the Rev. George Drew Eg-
bert, pastor of the church, and from
his first words he held the undivided
attention of his listeners all through
the evening.

His subject was “The Battle of the
Wilderness As 1 Saw it," and he relat-
ed the story from the time the orders
were given to the men, all through the
battle. After the men received the or-
ders it was a forced march. The men
were nearly exhausted, and alter
marching one hour, they were allow-d
ten minutes to rest, some of them
being so worn out that they would
drop down in the road. Tile great
question that was puzzling the heads
of the Union army was to get across
the Rappadam river, which was a dan-
gerous operation.

‘ General Lee, of the Confederate
forces, was awaiting them on the oth-
er side. Another thing which was a
great hindrance was that the only way
that supplies could be gotten to
Grant's army was by a railroad ninety
miles Along, which ran through the.
enemy’ s forces. and every inch of the
railroad had to be guarded.

General Grant made a great mistake
as to what Lee would next do. He
was of the. opinion that Lee would go
out into an upon field and fight, but
insteadhs . unattached Grant with his
forces right in the wilderness, as soon

.. as they landed across the river.

Soon after Lee.trled to force his
war untotbetorts strum ,whicn lat-
er proved hisuudoing. Th e was lust
what Gratifwanted him to do, and he
allowed Lee to force hint hack and get
the. forts, but just then Lee realized
that he was getting his forces into a
cleverly laid trap, and He quickly re-
treated from the forts, and then it was
that Grant got in his fine work, which
saved the day y.

Colonel Wright said that the south-
erners had the advantage of most ev
or? one being a good shot, as they
were mostly hunters, while the north-
erners came fresh from the fields.

Colonel Wright also spoke of the
battle of Spottsyivania Court House.
These two battles, he said, were the
turning point of the war. They mark-
ed the beginnlug of the North to vic-
tory.

He spoke of the fighting qualities of
the two great generals—Lee and Grant,
the latter of which was the most strat-
egic of the two. lie also spoke of
General Sheridan, whom he said, in-
stead of telling his men to go into
battle, always inspired them by start-
ing imself, and saying, “Follow me.‘

The talk of Colonel Wright lasted
about an hour, and the people would
have been glad to have had another
hour, so interesting was It. ice. cream
and cake wore served after the lee
ture.

It Is interesting to know that Dr.
Carl A. Harstrom, of Norwalk, went
to school under Colonel Wright for
four or five years. and afterwards
went as a teacher In the colonel's
school.

The money derived from the lecture
Is to be given by the Egbert Club for
the funds for new hymn books for the
Church. Tile Oppmtunity Circle of
King’s Daughters staited the fund
and the Egbert Club takes this way

Under the best of weather conditions
the annual brigade match was held

than they have-been for many years.
In the match between the rifle team
of the Second regiment of New Haven
and the rifieteam which represented
the First regiment of Hartford, the
New Haven boys won, having a mark
of 43 points better than the visitors.
Taken as a whole there was little
particularly good individual shooting
by any member of any company when
the scores of former years are taken
into consideration. The match will be
continued today when the skirmish,
800 yards and 1,000 yards event. will
be shot. The match today started at
8:30 o'clock. The final scores for yes-

EL PASO, Tex., June 27.-——in an en-

troops of the Mexican government at
the town of Las Vacas In Coabnlla,
Mex., near the border across from Del
Rio, Tex., early yesterday, between for-

ty and fifty wore killed and the com-
mandant of the Mexican troops was
badly injured, according to a despsicii
received here last night. The story of
the battle as received here is as fol-
lows:

The quarters of the Mexican ofilcers
and barracks were fired upon by the
attacking band. and the iissault cen-
tered upon the federal cusionis house.
Forty troops were finally assembled.
Then the disorder following the Init-
lnl attack upon the barracks and the
discovery that the quarters of the
soldiers were burning, the revolution-
Ists captured about sixty horses be-
longing to the Mexican cavalry.

At. the customs house the troops
made a determined stand and the
lighting lasted all morning without in-
termission. it In said that five thous-
and shots were exchanged

The revolutionists cut all telephone
and telegraph wires leading to Lac
Vucas and' thus prevented the besieg-
ed towns from sending for reinforce
inents.

After heavy firing until noon the at-
tacking party was repulsed and com-
inuulcntion was established out of Las
Vacns.

Troops were rushed to the Diane and
were expected to arrive there late last
night. but advices from Del Rio say
that a second outbreak was feared be-
fore the arrival of assistance.

The sheriff of Valverde county, this
state, telegraphed Governor Campbell
of Texas, that the revolutionlsts had
been repulsed and that a number of
them were fleeing to the United States.

The county niaclals‘nsked the gov-
.eruor if he could apprehend the fugi-
lives for violation of the neutrality
laws.

Under advices from the attorney
general, Governor Campbell advised
the sheriff that the federal authorities
alone had jurisdiction and instructed
him to keep hands off.

CITY OF MEXICO. June 27.—Re-
pented efforts to obtain official confir-
motion of the attack on the border
town of Lon Vacas by bandits have met
with failure.

The ofilce of the secretary of the
Interior has remained closed during
the night and at the residence of Mid
isier Corral no visitors are being re-
ceived.

The secretary of the interior refus-
ed a statement regarding the affair.
Despatches from various points in
northern Mexico show that section to
be in a stale of ferment During all of
last night armed men. many of them
Americans, occupied the roofs of the
Banco De Nacional and the Bunco De
London and Mexico. .

The disputhes still characterize the
raiders as bandits, but it is believed
here that they are half criminal ag-
gregations of political malcontents
whose main purpose is to loot under
the guise of insurrection.

The government says that the raid-
ers do not number more than fifty
armed men, but other reports place
their total number aslarge. The rail-
roads in Coahulla injured by the ban-
dlts have been repaired and trains are
now carrying troops to that region.
Troops have arrived in the city of
Torreon, and will spread over the
northern country to form a network
for the capture of the marauders,

Reports of impending trouble in the
state of Neuvo Leon cannot the con-
firmed at this time.
