natives couldn't get out quickly enough
and we poured the hottest kind Of a fire
into them while leaving the house, you
should have seen that charge-it vas
magnificent! The boys yelled like cow
boys, and with us to encourage them
just scared the insurgents out of the fort
and although the thing happened some
time ago I'll bet they are running yet.
The rafting of musketry is terrific
beyond description. We are now living
in "a position where we were this morn
ing, and the rest of the army is on all
sides. A short time ago the Penn. rcgi
ment lined up in skirmish formation and
marched up to a stronghold and drove
the natives clear out of the country
under cover of the Utah battery. The
latter did some fearful execution. After
their first shot To catch the range they
put in ball after bah in rapid succession
and with horrible accuracy. The com
pletely pulverized a large block house
and stone hospital. Then the infantry
moved clear up ard dropped on the
ground for the Utah boys TO fire again.
In this manner they gained the native
lines and fairly riddlcd them.
The natives have for arms the new
Mauser 1896 model. They are miserable
shots, however, and aim too high tho
occasionally they get our range down
pat. Not Il moment ago a shot came

remaining companies sent back to the
city. We two companies lagdown at the
foot of a row of young trees, and began
throwing up trenches with the aid of u
bayonets and hands; we were under a
heavy fire all the time we were digging.
Roy Kelley and | worked together and
dug quite pit to shelter us from the
fire in front, altho the flank FIRE from our
right we had no protection against and
the ilatter was awful. Altho' we were

"A few shots in the two companies, as the
officers very thoughtfully reserved the
fire and ammunition, not knowing
whether the insurgents would advance
against us or not, and if they did we
would need all the shells to repulse
them.
The ashes-thereywere so many Of them

All this time the natives were being en-

The next Emperor to land in England was
Charles V; but the story Of his two visits

rated to greet him as It never was before and
probably as ii never has been since, would take
too long TO speak Of here He, alone Of all the
emperors we have dealt with, had not visited
Paris before he came TO London. He alone came
with the fixed intention OF making dscord be-

of Charles or is it that of Manuel and Sgis-
