We have received a short letter writ
ten Feb. Is, by Erie Taylor, and will
give you few extracts from it.
I'VE arrived at Iloilo Friday night
and intended to enter the city Sunday
morning, but the enemy fired on the
Petrol about ten O'Clock Saturday
morning, and she returned the fire. She
and the Boston began to lombard the
city and fort. AS soon as the lombard
mont began the insurgents set fire to
the houses, which they had already
saturated with oil. The marines went
ashore in small boats and lowered the
insurgent flag and raised the stars and
stripes over the fort. At Gen. Miller's
signal from the Newport, we went
ashore. Co. +. began to load into small
|
by a launch on which were Gen. Miller
and staff. My boat was the first t.
reach the shore, and we all jumped out
and waded up on the bank. We has
tended TO search houses for lurking
insurgents. Their Mauser bullets oc
casionally whistled by ana we had to
keep sharp lookout. When the ar
tillery came we pushed forward to the
outskirts of the city, where we awaited
reinforcements before going farth er
= y 4. We have been on guard fol
the last seventy-two hours, and to sa'
we are all tired does not express it-w,
are nearly worn out. =. Co. +
got an insurgent cannon Sunday and
helped haul it to camp. We also cap
tured an insurgent flag, and will bring
both trophies home with us when w
come"
We cannot refrain from expressing
our concurrence with the Editors view
concerning the volunteers in the Philip
pines. Had we the power, Mr.. Editor
we would make you President this yer,
day, tho we will be honest enough tt
admit that there would be good dea
of selfishness in our motive Just her
my mother says, "tell Mr.. Lander | ex
pressed his sentiments before our boy
ever left San Francisco" BARBARA.
