buckled around me. Only a few days ago
I took a lot of men with me and built two

insurgents moved away. II was pretty
dangerous work and we had to wade
through water and mud up to our knees.
while we have seen no slard fighting.
there have been several riots and they
manage to arouse US in the middle Of the
night every once in a while. The other
night the bugles sounded assembly and
while we 1lurriedly dressed and ran to the
front of the building We saw hundreds Of
artillery men loading cannons and carry
ing boxes Of ammunition in a heavy rain
storm. Up the road squads of men tlur-
RED across the street while our corps
was quickly supplied with extra ammuni-
ton.
The heavy laundering and lightning
mingled with the signaling of warships
in the rear formed fine picture. Every
one awaited breathlessly for an attack
as our wires to Bacon and Cavite had
been cut and couriers carried news of an
advance of the natives. Men remained
at their posts for hours but no fight took
place.
Perhaps, or very probably the enemy
found that their plans had been ferreted
out for they never made the attack.
Most Of the men were disappointed,
however, as they are all anxious for
