Hooper was asked for boats crew OF his
men, which he kindly granted, and we
started TO prepare for the trip: We put on
our old clothes, our cartridge belts and re-
volvers, and provided several C ntes ms and
some lunch.
BY the time we had completed our ar
engagements, the Senator came alongside
and was ordered to so ahead and take
the lead and to steam at eight knots an
hour. Away they went. and shortly after
they left us we could hear Captain
Young's guns firing a salute, but as she
was to leeward and going down the wind,
the sound soon died away. AT l1:l5 a. m.
was dropped back to the gangway; il
was leaking so badly that the second Off
Ger ordered it hauled up again and ano- n r
one lowered. By this time the other boat
was well on its way to the island.
Just as was going over the raul, Har-
vey Dusenbury, always thoughtful, said:
Don't you want this fiag?" and l took
it and stuck 1t in the stern sheets of the
boat. The crew of our boat was as fol-
lows: Lieutenant Colonei Mccoy, Lieu
tenant Colonel levitt. Major Moses, Ma
Brooks, Private McCauley of the First
Colorado infantry. and representative of
the Denver Republican. Mr.. Bast of the
New York Evening Post and Harper's
Weekly, DR.. Kimbail, and others-i6 in
all.
We were not far from the shin when
the gulis came along in fiocks. and we had
to scare them away with our hands to
keep them from alighting on us; one old
fellow tried TO pull the flag away from ME.
We estimated that he would measure four
feet from tip to tip We MADE landing
on the island which is named on the chart
Wakes island, and Captain Seabury gave
me the latitude 10 deg. Is min, and long1-
tude 166 deg. SO min. This is for the south
end of the island We steered about north
going ashore and after landing we fol-
lowed along a shallow inlet in a northern
direction and in a few minutes arrived at
an inland lake. or lagoon. about two miles
wide and three long. The water in the
lagoon was a beautiful color-a light blue
1t is a coral island. yet at one time it is
believed to have had a volcano where the
lagoon now is. The water is very deep.
The island is about seven miles in diam
eter an dabout % feet high, and covered
with scrub cedar. The formation of the
island is of coral and Shells of which ]
brought away great variety. / also saw
piece OF crockery. and picked I'D an old
rusty iron washer. which showed me that
some ship had been wrecked there
Just as we turned to fetrace our steps
to the boat, heard shouting on ahead.
and when / looked, Major Bell was out
in the water of the inlet up to his hips.
trying TO drive a lot or nsh on shore
Captain Hooper's sailors were helping
him. Some one gave the major a rifle and
he shot about dozen large green fish. /
think that they would weigh from three
to eight pounds each.
Upon meeting ut the boat we were
loaded with shells, birds eggs. fish. ETC.

1t will be seen that there is an increase
in the gross earnings of Sc. $50 IS. while
there is a. decrease in the operating eX-
penses of 50, $50. IS. This is considered a
splendid showing, because July is one of
the dull months of the year.
1t will not be difficult to prognosticate
the earnings for the months of August
and September, as inquiry in all the de-
partments shows that business greatly
Increased during the month of August
and they are increasing still more during
the month of September. 1t is believed
that the showing made to the general
meeting in October will be such as to de-
light the hearts of those who have made
the investment and are behind the road.

Near Manila, July 81, 1885,
Since writing yeu last we have had
some excitement. Thursday night along
toward morning 1 was awakened by
General Greene's aide. L. Schieffiin,
who handed me q written order from
the general to get two of my guns
ready to go up into the trenches at S
o'clock the next morning and to take
half of the battery men with me. 1
learned from AIR. Schiefflin that the
Eighteenth infantry and a battalion
of the Colorado boys were to go with
US. We were ready on time, although
the excitement OF the order and the
uncertainty of the object of cur visit
prevented nay sleeping very much the
rest Of the night. We put about 80
men, on each gun, having previously
put ropes on them. and you would have
laughed to see light battery, usually
the dashing arm of the service, go up
a muddy road with So men pulling it
laboriously along. When we got up
there we found two insurgent guns Just
where We desired to put ours. They
were great big. old-fashioned guns,
shooting round cannon ball about six
inches in diameter. They put some
ropes on these guns and dragged them

You should hear the praises be-
slowed on the Utah boys 1t is fire.
quently stated that we saved the day.
that the Spanish would have been too
much for our infantry without the pro-
lection of our guns. We fired leo can
non shots during the enga cement. One
provoking feature of the affair was the
shooting into our batteries and trenches
by some California companies. The
latter went into the insurgent aban-
doned trenches behind us and must
have mistaken our lines ahead fer the
Spaniards and let US have a yolley or
two, apparently without killing anyone,
however
AT the earliest moment we sent up
two limbers full of ammunition to each
battery. 1t took 20 men to pull each
timber. but the boys went through the
mud with right good will in constant
danger of their lives. Captain Grant
and l also went up onto the lines as
soon as we learned that General Greene
had nothing else for us to do. Nelson
went with me.
Yesterday Lieutenant Webb took
Gibbs place and again last night the
firing started. The wind was the other
way and we did not hear so well, but
our lines We're much stronger and were
in command of Colonel Mccoy of Colo
RADIO, splendid ard efficient man, who
made up his mind to let the Spaniards
stand off and do all the firing they
wished so long as they did not come
into our camp, and reserve his force
until 1t was really necessary, and not
needlessly expose a man. do not be-
lieve we fired a gun. Several wounded
have been brought in. however, and
am very anxious TO hear from Lfeuten-
ant Webb. ass
GOOD NEWS.
Lieutenant Webb came, and with him
