REGULARS nght wero astounded at the
eoo,ness and method Of Americans in
battle.
There f. another most interesting sus-
rosHon ln the dispatches from Manila.
We read Chat tho Dakota regiment did
this. the Montana regiment dld that. and
the Colorado regiment did the other.
,vhat world Of suggestion there Is in
these simple facts! Scarcely quarter

But tho same dispatches from Manila
that bring us these inspiring details
bring others that CRATE upon inc feelings
Of the American patriot who loves the
noble institutions OF his free country.

What is 20 ne one Of The most interest
try and it Is no exagseratcn 20 say
bopo~rant statements. That has come
fr.n Manila is the tact that the people
there were absolutely astounded at The
coo,ness and soif-possossion with vhi-h
the American troops fought in the bat
ue Of "a week back. These same people
have been accustomed IN .holr daily lives
TO tho regular soldiers o. the Spanish
army. ard they have observed their con-

wcrc derived from the way Spanish SOLE

when they saw America soldiers m bai-

OF this fast IS the suggestion % wha,

under Institutions that makes every man
