The people of the United States ought to raise a howl and have us sent home. Caloocan was supposed to contain seventeen thousand inhabitants. The Twentieth Kansas swept through it, and now Caloocan contains not one living native. Of the buildings, the battered walls of the great church and dismal prison alone remain. You can only faintly imagine this terrible scene of desolation.
War is worse than hell.
I don't know how many men, women, and children the Tennessee boys did kill. They would not take any prisoners. One company of the Tennessee boys was sent into headquarters with thirty prisoners, and got there with about a hundred chickens and no prisoners. The building had been taken possession of by a United States officer, and he looted it to a finish. I suspected something and followed one of his men to the place.
