MAQll6, April 0.-DurlnR t0o phst

done in the direction OF Malolos which
city fell much easier than was expected.
In some places the mutilated bodies of
natives were found hanging from trees.
But little was left OF Malolos but the
ohsrred RUNS or once proud and
Wanted capital and few hundred
Chinos. Gen. Macarthur has his head
quarters in Congressional Hall.

Sergt-Msjor Grafton leaves today
for San Francisco for treatment. He

l soldier and q thorough gentleman. He

delivering orders when his horse was

Lieut.. Trowbridge is making it hot for
insurgent epies and ey mpathizers in the

them too. --.. .l
\Seret. Ned Mattison is now acting
Sergt. Major Of the regiment. 1t is

good one as Ned does we'll anything he
undertakes. .sssszt~
Tue Filipino newspapers give amusing
accounts OF how their bolo men scattered
the American soldiers, putting them to
flight and slaughtering them like the
hounds slaughter jsck-rsbhits. Their
account is even more amusing than
that given by some American papers as
to the "veritable heaps of slaughtered
natives"
The California boye are suffering as q
result of some of the Fool friends OF the
regiment writing toe much about their
achievements, real or imaginary. They
are kept busy apologizlng. Boys, don't
blow your own bugle' If you do not wish
to be made the butt OF ridlcule Of the
Eighth army corps. .........
SerRt. Hotchklss ls able to be around
again, but has not yet joined his regi-
noent. He limps yet, but is ae happy as
usual.
Co. spent the past week in Malate
caring for that district and North Da-
kots barracks.
An armed fiat car with rapid-tire guns
is the latest addition to our battery. 1t
follows the fleeing insurgents up the
railroad track but seldom gets within
reach of them. The insurgents do not
like the looks of it, hence do not wait
for closer Inspection
The insurgents, through their papers
tell their people that the climate OF the
Philippines is sure to destroy the Amerl-
can army ss it will destroy all foreigners
who attempt to conquer their SOIL Sag"
seems to have little hope in his army
stopping or destroying us. He also
orders the destruction Of all towns before
evscuating them so that the Americans
will find only cinders and sshes-s
devastated country.
The boys OF Go. X are we'll aud bappy |
-ss happy as it ls possible to be in this |
out-of- the way place. MANLY.
