would receive no welcome home. I
think he would change his MIND.
should he read the Duluth and Twin
City dailies, and take note Of the ac-
lions taken by the people Of our state
to get us mustered out:
Does it show a lack of courage TO
want to be mustered out now? Does
it take any courage. or bravery to go
to Cuba at the present time?
We were willing and anxious to go
when there was any chance to fight
and were disheartened and discour-
aged when we were left behind and
other regiments taken to the front.
When a rumor would reach us to the
effect that we were going to the front,
the air would be filled with the yelling
of Santiago and Porto Rico.
Yet, When we desire to go home to
our business interests, home and
friends, in time of peace, we are called
towards by our officers. One of our
majors made the statement that a ma
jority of US were getting better pay
and better living than ever before or
ever would get. Such charges need no
comment.
Why should we, in case we have no
binding ties, sacrifice our lives into
the hands Of the physicians, who have
clearly demonstrated their inability to
fill their positions in thousand in
stances during this short three months
war?
We are here and know It all and
know enough to satisfy our own minds
without the assistance or influence of
our officers and their speeches. And
knowing the facts as we do, are we
towards because we want to get out Of
their clutches?
I am willing to leave it to the people
Of our state to decide. "A Private,

Is back from Chickamauga for a short
rest, has received the following letter
from his brother, George H. Austin,
of 461 Selby avenue, who is now on
the U. S. 8. OsceoIa.
The letter gives an interesting de-
scription of an encounter at Manza-
milo, one of the last contests of the
war:
We arrived here Key Vest today. We
left Guantanamo. Cuba, the 10th and went
to Manzanillo with the Newark, Suwannee,
Hist and thssasaoTando, a Spanish gunboat
and the Osceola We laid outside and sent the
Amorando in with flag Of truce, demand
ing. their surrender, but they gave the Amor

18th Of August, about 2 or o'clock in the
afternoon, the Osceola leading the way. We
engaged at once, all ships keeping up rapid
fire for an hour, when white flag was run
up by the Spaniards.
The order came from the Newark. cease
firing" which we did. The Suwannee and the
Osceola then steamed in to about five hun
that we could see the Spaniards in their in
trenchments. AS the water was shallow we
could go no further. The iAmorando then
went In with flag Of truce, and just as
she got within two hundred yards the Span
iards hauled down their white flag and let
fly at us and the Amorando IA mean piece
of treachery). But it did not last very long
for all of our ships pumped shot and shell
into them and caused great havoc. Some of
their shells whizzed across the heads of the
men on the after gun aboard our boat, the
wind of 1t breaking open a, box of shells
Well, we retired when 1t grew dark and an
chored some distance off. All night long the
Newark kept up heavy fire from a six
inch gun, and we could hear the shells rumb-
ling like thunder and then exploding. They
burned several buildings and killed hundreds
of Spaniards.
In the morning boat came from the town
with a flag Of truce. We then first learned
that peace was declared and that everything
was over. We therefore were In the very
last battle of the war
We were then ordered to proceed to Key
West and to pass the word to all the boats
we met to do the same. After four days
run we reached here. We now are going to
Hampton Roads and from there to New

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 25.-While
we were In camp at Chickamauga a
petition was started through the regi-
ment in each company desiring to find
out how many were DESTROYS of doing
garrison duty or to be mustered out.
At once a big howl went up from the
commissioned officers, who informed
their men If they signed such a petit
ton they would he contaminated and
put IN prison for the reason, they said,
Of starting a nutiny.
ask you people Of Minnesota as cfti-
zen soldiers, can We not express our
opinion whether or not we want to do
garrison duty, and whether, one way or
the other. would it be called mutiny?
Lieut.. Col. Mccoy, Lieut. bingham
and Lieut.. Benner are very anxious to
find out who started these petitions,
men whose salaries at, home were
very limited, while enlisted men whose
salaries run from $50 to $125 per month,
desire, since we can not see active SER
vice, instead of doing police duty In
some foreign island, digging sinks,
picking UP paper, etc., now want to
return to our homes as soon as peace
proposals are signed and resume our
avocation in life. Can you blame us?
Will you help us to gain our ends?
We have abided by orders from our
officers in everything in detail. If they
had been as anxious to go to the front
about June % to 80 as they are now,
we would have had a chance to win
some honor, instead Of lying in camp
with sick list of over $50 men.
We are not Yo1j1tiDo11s Int 11na uyoY$

late.
