LETTER FROM A SOLDIER.
He Has q Poor Opinion Of the Islands
md Their PeOple.

MIDDLESPORT. N. Y. May 2s.-Mrs.
Hattie Thorne. of this place has just re-
ceived a letter from her son Charles. who is
now with the First South Dakota Volun-
teers in the Philippines. dated at Malolos,
April 13, In which he graphically describes
battle before that city on March 25. He
says that II was estimated that the natives
were 1900 strong and that his regiment, un-
aided, had TO face the heavy odds, as the
adjutant was killed before he could get or
ders TO the colonel. The capture of the
station at Marilai was accomplished with
terrible cost Two officers were killed, two
wounded and twenty-nine noncommissioned
officers and privates killed or wounded
Continuing Mr.. Thorne says: 1T was lust
as one OF the generals said TO his staff as
he saw US making that grand charge: You
might as we'll stop hell as the American
soldier on charge.
In conclusion the writer says: ''You asked
me what the soldier thought of the United
States taking the Philippines. Well. we
don't think much about IL. We cannot see
where they are going TO be benefited by il
IL has cost a great deal OF blood and one
American life Is worth 10000 natives. They
sneaked in on our outposts night before last
and killed five. of our men, smashing their
heads to a jelly. They get drunk before
they dare to come up. They tried last night
and by the looks of the ground, were met
with a warm reception.

GENERAL HALE's REPORT.
Defense Of the Water Works Near Ma
nfla-Lieut. Hayne Scored.

WASHINGTON, May 2S-The War De-
partment has made public a report from
General Irving Hale. who commands the
Second Brigade. Second Division of the
Eighth Army Corps, at Manila, on the stir
rirg events there. from the night of Feb.
Z to Feb. .. This division was quartered
in the vicinity OF the water works and a
portion Of IL. the Nebraska regiment, fired
the first shots that began the active fighting
with the insurgents General Hale tells the
story OF the operations of his command with
great preciseness and military dryness. He
says he received his first information of
the outbreak along the front of the Ne
braska regiment through the lucky hearing
by one of his operators of a part of a
telegraph dispatch that was passing over
the wires from Colonel Stotsenburg to di-
vision headquarters. His account of the be-
ginning OF the difficulty with the insurgents
agrees with the stories of Colonel Stotsen-
burg and General Macarthur, and he adds
that his own troops did not begin firing un-
I'll the insurgent firing had been going on
for some time.
The first opportunity the United States
troops had to test the real quality os the
Insurgents was at the attacks on the block
houses near Sampoloo Cemetery. Here,
says General Hale, the First Colorado Regi-
ment made charge In fine style. rushing
and halting alternately in case the enemy's
fire became hot. When half way TO the
blockhouse, the insurgents broke from the
earthworks. bushes and house in surprising
numbers and ran for the hills. the Amer
leans picking them OF as they ran. Thirty
i've were gathered up In the immediate VI
entity In all forty were killed and eleven
wounded. This movement broke the insur-
gent center and showed they could not stand
q charge. Therefore. the tactics were re-
peated. and other charges were made by
other regiments OF the command. with like
Gallantry and success. the Tennessee and
South Dakota troops being commended
among others.
