regiment struck camp. The march
through town to the train was not
glorious departure. The announcement
had been made that the regiment
would leave in the morning. A crowd
of people thronged the street all the
way to the depot to bid the regiment
God speed. The crowd waited till after
noon. The regiment did not come. At
ter the streets were deserted the regi-
ment was marched in three battaliOns
at different times to the train. Then
there was a wait of several hours be
fore the train left, but finally it started
for the Golden Gate.
When the regiment reached San
Francisco the members were in a pitt
able condition. Their clothes were worn
and ragged As the regiment marched
up Market street on its way to Camp
AIerrittit was jeered att by the people of
San Francisco. The Ragged Regi-
ment'' it was nicknamed by the papers
and the people took up the name. The
same papers that now laud the regi-
ment and call it the Fighting Twen-
tieth." the same people who jeered now

regiment as no others were
But it was before the regiment sailed
out through the Golden Gate for the
battlefields that the people of San
Francisco commenced to learn of their
mistake. The Kansas regiment came
to the front. It surpassed all others in
drilling. When it sailed away on Oc-
tober u, 1898, more than one prOphesied

and daring deeds of the regiment have
caused the sOldiery of other countries

to clear the woods as we advanced and
not to fall into an ambuscade.
I'VE went through the town, which
we found burning, after encOuntering
sharp resistance in the edge of the vii
lage, and encamped for the night a mile
beyond. The next day we came back
about LOCO yards to be on line with
the rest of the brigade
I'VE had gone too far, but we had
the enemy running and naturally kept
them going. During this whole fight we
had only two enlisted men killed and
one officer and twelve enlisted men
wounded.
AT CaIoocan we built elaborate in
trenchments and went into camp for
the next forty days. During this time
all we had to do was to keep up an oc-
casional sharpshootfng back and forth
with the enemy, who were allowed TO
intrench on our front. During the
forty days firing back and forth be-
tween the intrenchments we had one
captain and eight enlisted men killed
and one lieutenant and twelve enlisted
men wounded"
John F. Bass, writing for Harper's
Weekly, described the entrance to Ca
loocan as follows:
LAS we entered the town, dead insur-
gents lay in the trenches. The smoke
was thick and the din of battle deafen-

During the severe fighting around
Caloocan, a barber shop was started in
the kansans' trenches. The barber was
busy. He solicited custom from one
soldier who replied, mo, thank you,
had a close enough shave yesterday"
The first train on the kansas and
Utah Short Line" bearing troops pulled
into Manila Sunday, February u. It
was for exceptionally good service in
getting the wreck of the Manila and
Dagupan railroad into shape that
Lieut.. John ]. Haisch was promoted
from a private to a first Heutenancy.
He acted as general manager of the
road.
Douglass White gives Kansas unlim-
tied praise for the bravery shown be-
tween Caloocan and San Fernando. He
said:
From CaIoocan to San. Fernando
there is hardly a mile of country in
which the gallant Kansans did not do
some degree of fighting. And what
fighting it wasi Not the kind where
positions are carried by superhuman
force, but a series of those brilliant
dashes which have marked the war his
tory of the world. England had her

honors in the Philippine campaign
The first companies went into camp
at Topeka April 80, 1898. and for two
weeks the young patriot soldiers en-
dured the hardships of camp life. It
rained continuously. The camp ground
was soaking wet when the companies
marched there to pitch their tents for
the first time-a discouraging state of
affairs for men unused to the hardships
OF the camp. Everything was wet
Very few men in the regiment knew
how to pitch a tent so the pegs would
not draw out of the soggy ground. But
nevertheless military life was com
menced in earnest at once. Sentries
paced the beats day and night. wet and
bedraggled- Blankets were scarce. The
government was slow in providing
them The state came to the relief of
the men and Sibley tents were supplied
with stoves but the ground was wet
and the surgeons tent was in demand.
Quinine was distributed by the pound.
The men had been ordered to the camp
with instructions to wear their old
clothes as uniforms would be furnished
them at once Uniforms and equipment
were not forthcoming
The young soldiers suffered from in
sufficient clothing and worn out shoes
There in Camp Leedy before they were
even issued uniforms the men of the
Twentieth showed their true spirit.
There was no complaining. Nobody
asked to go home. The officers were no
better situated than the men and all
Jared alike. The commissary depart
ment was in trouble. Everything was
not in good working order. Some com
panies received more than their share
of rations- Others were short. The
people Of Topeka sent out food. one
day in particular enough food was con-
tributed to feed the entire regiment
Every man received a pie. The neoDle

panies had been recruited sent boxas

Lieutenant Afford was leading his
company when shot through the head
and instantly killed. He gave up his
life leading one of the most brilliant
charges made during the Philippine
campaign.
Tuesday night, February Z, Henry L.
NIedert of company L was on guard
near the water front. He saw two ma
tives creeping up the steps from the
river. Halt" he cried, bringing his
gun to his shoulder. The natives, in
stead of obeying his command, jumped
toward him. The sentry pulled the
trigger. The nearest native fell shot
through the heart. The other sprang
toward Niedert hoping to reach him be-
fore he could load his gun. He was
not quick enough. The gun Numbered,
and the second native fell so close that
the sentry could touch him. Both Fill
pinOs were armed with knives.
During the nights fighting Chaplain
John G. Schleman laid aside his bible
for a revolver. He Joined the regiment
on the firing line and charged with
them. He tumbled an insurgent sharp
shooter out of a tree and kept pepper
ing away with his revolver all through
the fight.

and his Fighting Twentieth No earth
works were too formidable no rivers
too wide and no open country too broad
for these dashing fighters from the
western prairies. A striking illustra-
ton of the reputation which Kansas
holds in the Eighth army corps is the
remark passed by one of our generals
on the occasion of a charge against an
exceptionally strong rebel position. AS
the order for the advance was passed,
a wild yell was heard from the left of
the line. An English officer watching
the action said, What is that? Is your
line already on the mover Yes" re-

ing. Squads of men moved from house
to house to clear out the remaining IN
surgents. Around the corner OF the
church wall I met the first men of the
Twentieth Kansas coming in. There
was a rush for the church and, with
cheer, up went the American flag. In
the road dead F'ihpinos lay here and
there like great disfgured dolls thrown
away by some petulant child.
The insurgents were still firing at US
while retiring. The Twentieth Kansas
were in no humor to stop so on they
went after these insurgents.

Battle of CaIOOcan.


One of the iercest engagements of the
campaign was the Battle of CaIoocan
February TO-
The scene was grand one. The rain
of bullets. the crash of bursting shells
from Dewey's ships and the batteries,
and the cracking of the flames made
the scene one never to be forgotten by
those who participated. The lombard
ment was commenced at o'clock by
the Utah battery and Sixth artillery
The third shell RACED a church just as
a crowd of natives were carrying of a
silver altar.
In his account Of the battle General
Funston said:
I'VE were very fortunate in our po-
sition during the attack on Caloocan.
The taking of this town was simply an
advance of the left of Otis brigade
which consisted of the Tenth PennsyI-
vania, First Montana, Third Artillery,
and the Twentieth Kansas regiments.
The Pennsylvanians We're to remain
stationary as a pivot while the other
regiments turned on this pivot, with
the Kansas on the left, our regiment
having further to move than the
others.

brought from the city to act as our
support The advance on CalOOcan was
made after a preliminary bombardment
by the deet and field batteries, and was
made through brush and bamboo so
dense that we could not see more than
one hundred feet ahead until the su-
burbs of the city We're reached.
THE enemy was in front of US in con-
siderable force. but had been so greatly
demoraIized by the fleet and field bat

We concluded to be on the safe side and

brush ahead of us. We had 1000 men on

airy about II o'clock The vOlleys from
the insurgents were continuous and
heavy. The Filipinos advanced to
within fifty yards of the Kansas line,
but were driven back During the day
the members of the regimentaI band
had an experience with the enemy. The
band boys were sent with four bullock
carts to carry ammunition and supplies
to the regiment. They accidentally got
beyond the line and were in a tight
corner. The insurgents were shooting
at them from the front and their own
men shooting behind them. The Chin

BAPTISM OF FIRE.
From the Circus to the Firing Line
Night of February 4.

The regiment underwent the strain
of expecting trouble with the insur-
gents until Saturday night, February
4 when the snOl was fired by the Ne
braska outpost which started hOstili-
ties. The circus tent in Manila was
packed with soldiers when a man rush
ed in crying ITO your quarters, boys,
they have driven in our OutpOsts."
Fifteen minutes after taps sounded
the roll of musketry could be heard in
the direction of the OutpOsts. The men
sprang for their belts and guns and
there was fighting that night.
Following the alarm Capt Adna G.
Clarke, in command of the Kansas out
posts, rallied the guard and fired sew
eral vOlleys. holding back the insur-
gents until re-enfOrcements arrived
which consisted of the Utah light bat
terry and companies of his own regi-
ment. There the Twentieth Kansas re-
ceived its baptism of fire.
The line was formed and for three
hours the firing was kept up. At day
light it was resumed The Third artil-
lery advanced soon after aybreak IN
der cover of the Kansas firing. The
companies engaged at night had been
REINFORCED and the line advanced along
the LechOrOad keeping steady fire.

open space exposed to the terrific fire
of the enemy. The FilipinOs fell back
before the determined advance of the

Nelson and G. NJ. BattersIey.
After crossing the open an orderly
from Gen. Macarthur rode up to Col
Funston to state that the Twentieth
kansas was loo yards in advance of
the rest of the line. The regiment was
forced to fall back. Had the entire line
no falling back. The ones in the rear
would have advanced. Tuesday morn
ing, February 2, the regiment took up
position between the insurgent
trenches and the BAY
The highest praise was accorded the
Twentieth for their plucky and determ-
med advance against the heavy fire.
The regiment gave an exceptionally
good account of itself in its first en-
gagement.
Death of Lieut.. Afford.
1t was on the eve of February that
the Twentieth earned new laurels at
the cost of the life of one Of the most
popular officers in the regiment. Lieu
