Sherburne, commandant of College cadet unit, has received a citation for valiant service rendered in the Philip pines during the war with Spain. Accord ing to the records cited in the award, dur ing the uprisings in the Philippines in 1899, a Commodore Gilmore of the U.

The pursuit lasted six weeks, but the officer was finally res to punish the captors brought cued and ment. At the navy department ex time that pressed its intention of presenting to Lieut. Sherburne a citation for the heroic service rendered, but it was decided to wait until the army first presented its award. Twenty- five years have passed since that time.
