HOW MANILA WAS CAPTURED

That the First Regiment of Cali

part in the battles that resulted in the
final capture of Manila is a we'll
known fact, but the official report of
what part our boys took in the action,
and how and what they did has never

The report is crisp, clear and con-
else, and has been boiled down and
condensed into the fewest words pos
sible. Reports are, as rule, dry af
fairs, but the one which follows, deal

citizen soldiery and the battles they
fought, is chOck full of interest from
start to finish. The report for the
