could drive us away from these water works. It is just four miles across thls valley where we are to the mountains and we can see insurgents any old time.
 There is an old town, Mari quina, 5 miles from us, and the next day after coming here Colonel Mccoy took two and a half companies, B, K and a part of Go. l, went over to capture the town. As soon as we started across the valley our battery on the hill began throw ing shells into the town and that ran the insurgents out of there and to the foot hills As we were going up to the town sharp shooters made things a little exciting. Our three companies swung around to the right of the town and came along the suburbs through a strip of woods. As we swung out of the woods, on the south east edge of the city, we found we were in it, for the natives had left the city and Were about 1000 yards ahead of us IT. the woods at the foot of the mountains. As We swung out in the open rice field they open. ed up a red hot fire on Us. We were ordered to advance, double time, to a rice ridge about 100 yards ahead. That was next to the warmest run ever made in my life. The hottest run was the one we made about an hour and a half later when we retreated. Just as we got to the ridge and were ordered to lay down our Major was wounded, shot in the ankle. Our companies were strung out as skirmishers and we began firing by squads. You should have heard me sing out my commands to my squad. After firing awhile by squads we quit that and fired yolleys first by companies and

Col. ]. H. Van Hoose Dead.
Fayetteville Democrat |

It is with unfeigned sorrow that we announce the death oi our esteemed fellow citizen, Col J. II. Van Hoose, which
 occurred near Wyman, : miles southeast of Fayetteville, at , p. m. last Saturday. Death re- suited from a peculiar accident which happened on the previ- ous Wednesday. He had gone to the country for the purpose of recreation in the way Of squirrel hunting, stopping at the home of Mir. Wm. Roberts. He ate q hearty dinner on Wed
 nesday, and, in company with Mr. Roberts little son, went to the woods in quest of game
 They had killed two or three squirrels when Mir. Van Hoose, seeing a hawk, raised his gun to shoot it. Failing to get q shot, he was lowering the gun, a light, single barrel shot gun, when his thumb slipped from

thcu b4 pldtoOHsl tt PldtOOtf is halfthe company Oh Bertha, that was hot work. Talk about sweating, and at two o'clock in the afternoon when 1t is natur- ally warm. Here were about 2000 insurgents centerlng their fire on about 200 of us, and the air. was full of bullets which cut the grass all around Us. Ours is the color company and the flag is always on the left of the company and as 1 am always on the left of our com pany, l had a new experience Things were mighty lively around there. While We were fighting our colors were taken back to the rear and the bugler blew recall double time You should have seen us run for the rear and may be the enemy dld not make it warm. When we got to the ridge where our flag was We layed down aud opened up more volley firing Then We were ordered to make another run for the rear which We did, and l hope never to be compelled to retreat again for the enemy does more good shooting when troops are re treating. The insurgents did not dare to follow us because of our artillery back on the hlll. We can chase them ont of that town when ever We want To, but we cant go and get them with two and d half companies.
 It is said we just went oyer there to find out how many were there and if they had left the city. Well We found out. The boys who stayed back on the hill said 1t was a pretty sight to see us going over, but 1t was more funny to see Us coming back double time. They could see everything plain with field glasses. We had four men wounded, bu; none killed. It was awful ex- citing There is d flying brigade of regulars coming up the valley from the lakes. They are within eight or ten miles of Us now. They are clearing the valley. l do not think that We will get to be at the clearing, as we will most likely stay here and hold these water works. They must be held and protected as long as there is any trouble, for these works supply the city Of Manila with water. l am perfectly well satisfied to stay here and l guess 1t IS a sure thing that we will stay right here and of course that will end our part of the fighting.
 This is a lovely valley and is full of all kinds of fruits, vege- tables, etc. We have a good road to Manila and fresh bread and beef comes out every day. We are all right and in very good health. 1 am Ill excel lent health, never am sick q day, but then l have observed what is good and what Is not for this climate. A person is as we'll off in this climate as anywhere and our company has the most ideal camp l know of.
