to hear from you and will try to answer
the same today, though ii is awfully
warm, and when indoors we wear hardly
any clothing and then we are uncomfort-
able. Everyone tells US the weather

understand the people in the United
States think that we had no fighting to
do, that we just walked in without any
opposition. This is not true for we had
fighting to do. and lots of it for several
days.
The first thing we did upon arriving
at the Philippines Was to send out scout
ing parties, batallions as out posts ard in
trenchIng parties, and our regiment was
the one that threw up the first and last
intrenchments, with the Eighteenth U.
S. infantry TO guard us. The first time
we built breastworks near the enemy we
did so at night and in the morning the
Spaniards were surprised at seeing a
long line OF earth thrown up ON an aver
age of four feet high, that no rife bullets
could penetrate This is only sample
of how we worked day after day, and
night and day in the rain and mud, and
don't think the boys will say that Capt
Eastman did not do his part with the
shovel.
1t takes too long to tell you all we have
endured for me to write it here, but It
may interest you some to know that the
regulars say that they would rather be
with the Colorado boys than any one else
on the island.
We hoisted the first flag, which meant
that we took the first Spanish intrench-
ments, We were the first in everything
notwithstanding the Minnesota ,egi.
ment claims to have raised the flag over
the walled city. Well, what of it2 What
glory is there in raising the flag after the

We raised our first flag about IL o'clock
in the morning and kept ON advancing
and raising flags for TWO hours. We en-.

The adoption of the amend
ment to the constitution of South
Dakota. directing the legislature
to enact a dispensary law at it's
coming session is causing no end
of trouble, says the Grand Forks
Herald.
One of the questions raised is
whether the adoption of the
amendment does not repeal all
existing laws on the subject of
the liquor traffic, and thereby
leaving the state, for the time,
without any law on the subject
at all. In that case, of course,
there would be nothing to hinder
any person in the state from en-
gaging in the liquor business.
provided he possessed United
States revenue license. Where
no specific provision is made,
however, it has usuallys been
held in cases in other states
where the same principle is in
volved, that existing laws re-
main in force until those intend.
