A Manila special to the New York
Herald of Tuesday says of the battle:
"The insurgents attacked the Ameri-
cans last evening at Marilao, but we're
repulsed with severe loss. Our loss
was ten killed and fourteen wounded.
Later Garcia, a native general, came
down from Dagupan by train with 1000
ritiemen and 1000 bolo men and took
positions at Marilao. A river was be-
tween the American and insurgent
! forces. The South Dakota volunteers
and the Third artillery, acting as in
fantry. was thrown forward. The South
Dakotans charged brilliantly across an
open space Oh the east of the railway
to the edge of some woods. They lost
ten killed and eleven wounded. includ-
ing the three lieutenants."
The death of the brave young SOL
diers is shocking news to their South
Dakota friends-and some of them had
friends scattered all over the state.
Jonas Lien was chief clerk of the house
of representatives two years ago, and a
brother of the present mayor OF Sioux
Falls. He was an exceptionally capa.
ble and splendid young man-only "a
years of age-and had already made q
proud record as soldier. His death
| is deeply deplored over the
state. A promising young life thus
terminated is painful to his friends
but what blow to his brother who
idolized him!
Frank Adams was another one ol
! Gods noblemen. A man, every inch of
. him-and Watertown and Codingtor
county will be in deepest gloom ovel
his tragic death.
All are loved by some one, aud the
cruelties and sad realities of war are
thus ruthlessly impressed upon th,
hearts of those of our own state in such
a manner as but few had before real
ized. Tho boys from South Dakott
had previously been exceedingly fortu
nate, having suffered comparatively no
loss either in hospital or upon the bat
y tie field.
