denominations of stamps, as follows;
One cent-the discovery of the Miss
lssippi river by Marquette two cent

Manila August 20, 1898.
\ week ago today the American
warships, at about $3.50 in the morn
ing, commenced the bombardment of
Manila and i'm less than an hour a
white flag was hoisted by the Span
iards and the city surrendered. The
work of the army was vigorous
charge on the Spanish line of breast
works from which the enemy was
driven with a rush. leaving about 200
killed and twice that number wound
ed. The loss ON our side was about
ten killed and thirty wounded.
Upon entering town we were under
fire nearly all the time from hidden
squads of Spanish soldiers and we
lost few more men.
The other battle in which we lost
the most men, was on the night of
Sunday. July 31st. The Tenth Penn
sylvania was the only full regiment
in the fight and they were in the very
worst of it and did the most fighting.
Altogether eight MEN i'm our regiment
were killed and about fifty wounded.
All the boys from Honolulu were in
the thickest of the scrap and were
praised for the way they fought and
the good work they did
There was fighting every night for
nearly a week after the battle of Sun
day night and our side lost about a
dozen men. The Spanish losses run
up to nearly thousand and perhaps
more. l guess ! plugged as many as
a dozen myself. Henderson got three
one night while on outpost, and Cook
and Faneuf say they couldn't count
all theirs.
We are now doing guard duty in
the town, keeping order and not let
ting the insurgents in. The natives
are sore on us because they had an
idea we would give them the town
when we took it. We are ready to
give them all the fight they want if
they look for it, and they will find it
a different job to fight us than fight
ing the Spanish.
Two of the soldiers who were full
We're murdered by the Spaniards the
other night consequently we have to
stay close by our quarters.
Henderson and myself are in the
same building and are together a good
deal. Cook and Fan are quartered in
theater about half a mile away and
we don't see them very often
! got one letter from you so far,
and hope another will come before
long. I don't know how long we will
be here but hope we will be coming
back to Hawaii nei before long.
