DARING SOLDIERS.

Tho Freedom, of Manila, just received
contains the following about the Oregon.
ians as soldiers:
Tho oregons have hOon In many ways
4 particularly unfortunate regiment
Arriving here with tho first expedition
they were denied the privilege OF living
in tho great military camp at Tambo
They took no part In the lighting In the
trenches, they played an unimportant
part In the storming OF Manila, When
the Philippine trouble broke out, and
they were ordered to stay In the walled
city, their CUP OF bitterness seemed full.
But since their late call out they have
IN, re than retrieved their lost opportu.
mites. They have covered themselves
| with Il glory that shall never fade. The
following little incident Aill show OF
what stuff tho regiment is made Dur
ing Whoaton's celebrated dash, tho
0reSons were part o. the flying brig-
ade. Tho troops were trying to capture
the rich little town OF pateros, ''Duck
town, which is situated on y bend Of
the rasig, near the fork, The town is
almost enoircled by the stream, which Is
some fifty yards vide and from twelve
to sixteen feet deep. Stretching from
the bank up the river is a rice field about
two hundred yards wide, from which
rises steep declivity OF few hundred
feet in height From the brief descrip-
ton ore can easily see tho strength of
the little town rs u strategic point for
the enemy.
Pateros had successfully resisted three
attempts ut Its capture; The brigade
was stationed ON the military crest of
the above mentioned hill; 10 capture the
place It was necessary To cross the rice
field with no protection from the en-.
emy's heavy tire who were strongly on.
irenched, and then cross the river. The
Oregons were the vanguard OF the attack.
Crossing the rice held under great aiili-
culties, they were compelled to halt at
the river, and tn hold their position un-
der the raklng fire OF the insurgents, as
no boats could be found. Finally an old
raft and some canoes were discovered, |
and Colonel Summers called for volun- |
teers TO swim the river under the fire Of |
the enemy aLd fasien cable 10 the on
posita shore. Many more than enough
responded. From among them were SO
lected two men, who, alter attaching q
string 10 the en1 OF the cable, plunged
IN, reached tie opposite shore amid n
bail OF bullets, fastened The cable and
constructed an impromptu pontuon
bridge, over which the troops success
Iuly crossed, completely routing the
enemy. !
Judging from their conduct since thev
have begun 10 fight. this is the material
II which the Oregons are made.
