TODAY Is tho forty-fifth anniversary
of the battle of Ball'e Bluff, near
LeesburR, Va.. in which the gal
lant Colonel Edward D. Baker, Senator
from Orejzon, lost his life.
It will be of interest to the survivors
of the First California regiment and to
the friends of Colonel Baker to know
the provision made to convert the battle
field Into a National Cemetery. It Is grat
tfyirig to know that after the lapse of
nearly half a century and after four
years' effort on the part of General Hun
ton, ConKress at the last session passed
the following bill: "That the Secretary
of War Is hereby authorized to accept,
on behalf of the United States, the dedi
cation and gift by Mrs. Raehael A. Pax
sen, as stated In her written offer of
January 14th, 1902, of a strip of land 30
feet wide from the Leesburg and Point
of Rocks turnpike, in Iowndoun County,
Virginia, to the 41-acre tract over which
the I'nited States now has a right of
way to the Ball's Blurf National ceme
tery; and the sum of $5000, or so much
thereof 'as may he necessary. Is hereby
appropriated to enable tho Secretary of
War to build a substantial road from
the I,eesburg turnpike to said cemetery,
and to properly fence and protect the
same, and within said appropriation, buy
so much of the Ball's Bluff battlefield as
may be necessary for its protection and
jjreservatlon.'
At present to reach the Bluff, situated
some two or three miles from Leesburg.
your best road lies through a cornfield,
several pasture fields, along the side of a
deep gully, and over projecting tree
roots. During the ride you have got out
.and opened some half dozen gates and
let down a pair of sapling bars. But
soon all this will be changed, as the
government road Is to be begun In Octo
ber. .
The National Cemetery, established in
ISfw. consists of 23 acres of ground, the
central part ot which is an open knoll
covered with sedge grass, briars, and
bushes through which an. occasional
black snake glides.
On this knoll Is the" neatly kept burial
ground, encircled by an Ivy-covered
stone wall; within lie the 25 graves con
taining the remains of 54 of the Massa
chusetts regiment, only one grave
known, that of James Allen; above float
the Stars and Stripes.

GENERAL JAMES FRANKLIN BELL
Interview With Distinguished Soldier Now in Charge of Army of Pacification in. Cuba.
. BY JAMES B. MORROW.
WASHINGTON. D. C Oct. 15.
(Special Correspondence of the
' Sunday Oregonian.) It was In the
ashy blur of dawn. A colonel of infantry,
with the eager eye, the cunning ear, and
the ready ear of a scout, was riding alone
In advance of his men.
There was a hurried" but cautious stir
In the Jungle ahead. Then seven Filipino
insurgents. lean as panthers, slipped into
the open. Turning a sharp bend in the
was-, they vanished; only the glimmer of
a brown viper In the leaves and grass.
The colonel galloped forward and got a
wild volley, into the earth and over his
head, as he swept around the corner. He,
opened fire, ten bullets to a pistol and a
pistol in rach hand. The rippling noise
of the fusillade multiplied his phots in the
terror of hU enemies and they fled, ping
ing with their rifles as they ran all but
one: with arm crimson and limp at his
side, he burrowed to safety in a tropical
thicket.
A lieutenant and two men. spitting like
cats, were ridden down In a field of rice
,nnd caught. For this feat ot arms James
Franklin Boll was given a medal of
honor.
There is a belief in the army that Bell
is actually fearless. He went to the Phil
ippines a captain of cavalry and returned
a brigadier general. Fighting did it. To
daj'i as Chief of Stuff, he Is certainly the
most powerful and. except Funston. the
most picturesque soldier In America.
The old commanding general of the
army, wearing his honors In the law,
secure against removal or degradation.
arrogant In his own skill and reputation,
contemptuous toward the civilian chief of
the War Department, sometimes was a
nuisance with a wagging and spiteful
tongue in his head, llihu Root maneu
vered him out of the statute book and off
of the face of the earth. In his place
there Is a Chief of Staff, who is chosen
by and whose tenure lies wholly within
the pleasure of the President. He Is the
military expert ot the nation. It was a
long and spectacular leap from a captain
ship In ISM to the chieftaincy of the staff
In lf-Oti.
No Newspaper Soldier.
Therefore. Bell Is an immensely import
ant man. not only at home, but abroad,
and without any doubt an interesting one.
How does It feel to be under fire? Is cour
age merely a spasmodic passion? And
cowards, what of them? Would Napoleon
have run had he charged into the jaws of
a battery f CJatline guns? How many
fighting men are mere in the United
PtiteM? Moreover, there were other ques
tions? General Bell almost turned his
hack and showed me his heels. Then he
settled down, and a fierce-looking man he
was, as he sat at his desk and eyed me
in polite antagonism. "I promised you,"
he sHid, "and I'll keep my word, but this
Is the first and it will be the last time
that I shall be Interviewed." It is said in
the Army that Bell's heart is as bulky
as a featherbed, and just as warm and
toft.
"First it was the photographers," he
continued. "They camped in my offlc-e
and I had to yield to get rid of them.
Now they are beginning to come from
New York and Philadelphia. If I thought
1 should become a newspaper soldier I I
I" Whereat his round brown eyes
sometimes they are almost gray blaxed
like a barrel of tar on tire. He stood up,
all of five feet and nine inches, a sea
soned cavalryman, grown a little thick

Into which many of the dead were hur
riedly thrown and covered with earth.
The scars and knots on the trees skirting
the knoll show where balls and bullets

in nervous energy and impatience. He
was 50 years old last January, was born
in Kentucky and graduated from West
Point. So all the elements were propi
tious for an outburst.
"Of course, of course," I replied, hurry
ing' into smoother waters, "but put into
language -understood by civilians., what
is the. difference between modern methods
of fighting and those followed, for in
stance, during the War of Rebellion?"
This inquiry was an egg in the coffee,
personal matters were separated from
those which were military and there was
no more trouble for some time.
New Military Methods and Old.
"That is a hard question to answer
In. a few words,"-General .Bell' replied.
"The elementary causes for success or
failure In battle are the same now as
during the Civil War. If the armies
were of equal size, approximately, the

better tactical -position, having in mind
the theater of war and matters ot
strategy, would win the fight. Even
then he would have to throw the bulk
of his forces against the. key.ojr .the po
sition 'at the right time. This was so
formerly and is now. Strategy has
changed but little. The means of ob
taining tactical advantages, however,
have changed much and are due pri
marily to Improvement In firearms and
field artillery. Our old rifle- was of
large caliber and low initial velocity.
The effective carrying distance of Its
bullet was not more, perhaps, than 600
to 900 yards. The same- was- true of
field artillery. Now we have a rifle of
small caliber which is effective at from
2000 to 3000 yards, whil,e modern field
artillery Is effective at from three to
five miles.
"So the improvement in weapons naa

Hatcher, the color sergeant of the Eighth
Virginia Regiment, fell. To the left is a
similar .Btake marking the spot where
Colonel Edward t. Baker! Senator from
Oregon and commander of the First Cali
fornia Regiment, fell pierced with many
balls.
A few months ago Colonel Baker's
nieces made a visit to the cemetery with
a view to erecting a monument on the
spot where their gallant uncle lost his
life. The material for the monument Is to
be brought from California.
It was in this battle that Judge
Oliver Wendell Holmes, now a Justice
of the . United States Supreme Court,
received his first wound." a shot
through the chest.
Following a footpath to your lefi
through the woods, you reach the
summit of the bluff proper. It Is an
almoBl. sheer descent of 300 feet to the
base, where a very narrow strip of
shore leads to the water's edge. It
was over this cliff ftoat 89 many lives
were lost. Hundreds were drowned In
the river below.
From the summit of the bluff ou
look across to the eminence on the
Maryland side, where General Stone
was located. Between the Virginia
and the Maryland sides lies Harrison's
Island, with the divided and united
waters of the Potomac washing its
shores. Colonel E. V. White, of Leesburg-,
relates the following Incident;
"Thirty-two years after these things
resulted In modifying tactical disposi
tions and In doing away to a consid
erable extent with the massing " of
troops in large bodies. It is now
thought best to operate more generally
in open, or skirmish order, than was
done in the past. The principal dif
ference, therefore, between modern and
Civil War methods Is the reliance
placed on open.-6rder fighting. Now
adays much depends on the personal
initiative of the soldier and his individuality-in
action.- In our army grea't
attention is given to marksmanship
and tt developing soldiers as shots.
The proportion of field artillery to an
army Is larger than In former times,
yet it is doubtful, because- of the in
creased distances at which it fights.
If its actual destructlveness is any
greater, considering the number of
guns employed. Broadly speaking, bat
tles will be won In the future, as in
the past, bj' the preponderance of in
fantry fire."
"What do you suppose would have hap
pened if Hannibal, Julius Caesar, or Na
poleon had come face to face with three
or four batteries of Gatllng guns?"
"Their legions would have scattered' to
the four winds." -
Our Military Establishment.
"What is the present size of the regular
army?"
"In round numbers. 60,000 men. It is the
policy of the United States to maintain
an army no greater than is necessary to
perform the "functions of a National police
force and to form a nucleus on -which to
build in the event of war. We hjive 30
regiments. 15 of infantry and 15 of cavalry,
what Is the equivalent of 13 regiments of
artillery, . three battalions of engineers.
12 companies of signal corps, a hospital
corps, and other essential staff organiza
tions. The President can increase this
force to 100,000 if he thinks it to be nec
essary, but the appropriations made annu
ally by Congress are for-. the minimum
strength of 60,000 men."
"How many National guardsnien. or
state soldiers, are there In the country?"
"About 115.000 under the provisions of
the Dick law. which extends considerable
Federal assistance to state troops. It is
believed the effectiveness of the militia
will be materially increased. This year
we had seven camps where the regular
army was concentrated. Camps of in
struction. I would call them. The organ
ized militia of the various states was in
vited to these camps, and guardsmen
from all parts of- the country joined the
regular, troops in ten., life, field work,
and so on."
"What would be the fighting force of
the Nation, should there be a protracted
war with a first-class power?"
"Only a count, such as the Israelites
made under Moses, would show how
many men there are in the United States
between the ages of 1& and 45. Mr.
Roosevelt received about . 7.69O.Q00 votes
In 1904, Judge' Parker almost 6,100,000,
and the other candidates something like
800.000. The census of 1900. however,
showed that there were 21,300.000 men of
voting age in the country. These figures,
possibly, might be used as a basis for a
rough calculation, but I would not enter
into such an undertaking. Of course,
every man of military age could be draft
ed, but that will never be necessary."
Colonel "Cpton-8 Plans. ' "
"What was the object in. creating . a
general staff for the Army, and where did
the idea originate?"
"The general Staff policy has been
adopted for all the armies of Europe. It
was first advocated in this country by the
late Colonel Emory Upton, after a visit
of inspection to Europe in the early '70s.
Mr. Root, while Secretary of War. con
vinced Congress that a general staff was
necessary, and the law for Its establish
ment was passed. The President signed
It In February. 1903. - The duties of the
staff include the preparation of plans for
the National defense and for the mobili
sation of troops in time of war; the in
a party of the Twentieth Massachii
setU Regiment came to Leesburg and
requested me to guide them over the
battle-ground where they and their
comrades had fought so gallantly a
generation before, and upon reaching
the point of Featherstone'g attack, one
of them called attention to an oak and
said:
"'I was behind that tree when an
officer on a white horse rode out there
leading a line of troops upon us, wav
ing hi3 l:at and shouting: "Come on,
follow me." I took aim and fired at
him and then threw down my gun
and ran for the river, for they were
close on us.- I don't know whether I
killed him or not."
"'I said to him: "No, thank God,
you did not.' "
" 'Are you the man?' he asked. I
replied: ' I surely am.' In a moment
he threw his arms around me and ex
claimed. '1 thank God, too.' '
It is the Intention of the Govern
ment to enclose the ground owned by
it.-clean up the open space of the knoll
put the adjacent woodland in good
condition and buiid a good road from
the turnpike to the bluff.
Yearly the Virginia people meet and,
in love and sadness, honor the memor
ies of the buried soldiers with appro
priate exercises. In the calm October
sunlight it Is hard to realize that once

peace and union.

vestigation of all questions affecting the
efficiency of the Army and its- readiness
for military operations; the rendering of
professional .assistance to the Secretary
of War' and to general officers of the
Army, and the performance-of such other
service as may be prescribed by the Pres
Ident."
"Is the Army a good place for a young
man. either as an officer or a private?
"It is. The training which a commls
sioned officer or a private gets Is excel
lent. It develops character, self-reliance,
self-control, regularity of habit, cleanll
ness. and . self-respect. The education,
ability and talent which are necessary, to
make a good Army officer would bring
him success In business and elsewhere.
The "experience gained by the average
soldier after five or ten years of sen-ice
is of great value to Mm. He learns to
do things for himself, to ' be orderly in
his way of living, to be clean in -his -dress
and person, and to make the best use of
what he knows. So he goes back to civil
life a broader and more capable man.
"Has a private soldier a likely chance
of becoming an officer?
"Any soldier in the army, after two
years service, by passing the required.
examination, can become an officer. That
Is the law of the land. Each year en
listed men do qualify and are made sec
ond lieutenants. There is a school for
them at Fort Leavenworth, Kae."
"A recruiting officer at the South re
cently said that cigarette smoking dis
qualified a large number of young men
In that region for service In the army?"
"I can only answer that question in" a
general way. Excessive cigarette smok
ing, long continued, would probably dis
qualify young men for passing the rigid
physical examination for enlistment. It
is well known that the Immoderate use
of cigarettes causes extreme nervousness
and is often followed by loss of flesh and
an ill-nourished physical system. Men in
that condition are not fit material for
soldiers."
"Is It true that West Point graduates
have a prejudice against officers who
have not been educated- In the Military
Academy?"
"Officers in the army come from West
Point, from civil life, and from tlje ranks
of the enlisted men. After he is once
commissioned as a second lieutenant and
all officers begin in that grade each man
stands on his own feet and Is judged
thereafter, not by his antecedent history,
but by his personality and achievement.
In all my years of service I have never
known of prejudice against an officer be
cause he had served as a soldier, nor do
I believe that officers from the ranks ever
feel 6uch a prejudice against them."
"As a man of courage " but I got no
further.
"Here!" General Bell roared. "Stop that,
stop that! There are things which make
me tire, and that is one: of them. When
ever a soldier fires his pistol or gun some
fellow bobs up and calls him an intrepid
general, or an intrepid colonel, or an in
trepid, jnajor, or an intrepid . captain, or
an Intrepid lieutenant. That word is an
abomination to the English language. It
has been worked to death. Once it meant
something decent. I suppose, but now it
is senile and disreputable. If 1 pick up a
newspaper I am sure to see It hobbling
up one column and down another and
looking meaner than the devil. Why
cant't the newspapers let a man alone?
Notoriety is more deadly to a soldier than,
bullets. Do you know that? But if some
thing must be said about me, for God's
sake don't describe me as being Intrepid."
When the north wind was -.out of the
cloud I changed the form of the ques
tion and asked: ".From your observa
tion, is courage- in battle a normal state
of the mind or is it the result of the
excitement and tonic of the occasion?"
"Both," General Bell replied, the' word
leaving its muzzle like a rifle shot. "Men
vary; so does the quality of courage."
"How do cowards perform when under
Are?" .
"They- become terror-stricken and rose
self-control and all sense of shame.
Once I found a miserable wretch hiding
in a hole In the ground. It took three
of us "to pry him out. At anottier-time;
in the Philippines. I saw a boy going to
the rear supported by two men. He was
moaning and crying, but he wasn't a
coward.
What's the matter?"' I -asked.
'I am dead.' he groaned. 'Been shot
through the heart. Here's the hole in
my breast.'
I got off my horse, opened the boy s
shirt, and found the imprint of a bullet
right under his left nipple. You see. it
was a spent ball and had made a red
mark. Iu the meantime he was bellow
ing as hard as he could.-" "
'The bullet didn't go through you." I
said. 'Look and you will find It In your
trousers'. "
-'."The -boy was doubtful, but iie. stopped.
crying and in a minute had the ball in
bis hand.
Well, I'll be damned.' he said, and
then, turning about, full of spirit, but
showing some chagrin, exclaimed: "'I'll
go back and try 'em again.' "
Other memories came into Gen. Bell s
mind; I could see them in his eyes, now
almost black and gleaming like coals of
fire In the night. "Do you know," he
asked, "that no excitement in the world
equals the hunting of a man who has a
gun on his arm and Is out to kill- you?
1 . shall not call It .sport, because many
good people wouldn't understand: but
shooting tigers isn't to be compared with
it for a moment. I know. I led scouts
In the Philippines. It was our ' business
to beat-the bush -and- be shot at,, -that we
might locate the enemy and hunt him
down. If I could safely do so, 1 should
say such duty was incomparable as a
sport. But then I should be called blood
thirsty, when I am not."
And now tell me about your medal of
honor." I asked. -
"Talk about myself? Never'."
"But I want the facts. I have seen It
stated that you slaughtered a lot of men
with your sword" a fiction, or, rather, a
rowdy skirmish line thrown forward to
draw out the truth.
"That is a fantastic lie. All that I did
was to hit a poor devil In the arm. I am
tired of being described as a butcher.
But I'll set you straight, I'll set you
straight, and then I'll never say another
word on the subject. I war going along
early in the morning In advance of my
men. An officer and seven insurgents
maybe there were only six dodged around
a corner. I went on to see where they
had gone. They .began firing at me. I
fired back with my pistol 'Mausers ten
cartridges in each making a tearing
noise like Gatllng guns. My string of
bullets rattled the ruffians and they shot
too high, or too low, or both. I rode at
them and chased the officer and two of
his men into a rice field. They were
scared to death and surrenclered. I tell
you it was nothing: but the paint has
been daubed on so thickly that the whole
incident has become positively wearisome
to me.
Just the same, the act stands out singu
lar and splendid In the annals of the
American Army.
"Within your own knowledge, did you
ever kill any one Filipino or Indian?"
General Bell looked at me for half a
minute, steadily, dumb, not so much in
anger perhaps as in astonishment and
horror. Evidently I had gone to the limit
With a dismal effort to appear unagltated,
but with a bur on every word, the Gen
eral replied: "I won't answer such a ques
tion."
Therefore. I asked: "What is an ex
plosive bullet?"
"A bullet which explodes on impact.
No such bullet, however, was ever used
for email arms in this country. Put
'ting aside ethics and . humanity, it
would be impracticable. Of course, it
would have to contain an explosive.
thus necessitating the use of a fuse,
or some other like appliance. Such an
elaboration in a projectile which
weighs but 220 grains would be wholly
out of the question. Reports that ex
plosive bullets have been employed in
war were caused, probably, by the ap
pearance of the cavities made by soft,
or dum-dum bullets, which, on striking
at . the proper velocity, expand, or
'mushroom. The core of a dum-dum
bullet Is soft lead and is exposed at the
point. When such a bullet strikes
watery -tissue or bone it spreads awd
makes a. large hole.. Although exten
sive experiments were conauciea ai ine

form of bullet has never been made by
the United States Government."
