creek. It proved to be the one mis- sing steamer that had not been cap- | tured by us. This is the best thing 1 We have done since we have been on | the lake; she proved to be beautiful little steel steamer, in fine condition, too. Of course, parts of her machinery were missing, but we found all of this on shore the next day. During the fight many amusing incidents occurred. I will mention one. Just before we re- ceived orders to start the paymastr, Major Canby, and his clerk, MT. Baker, came up to Morong to pay off the troops. When we started he was on board paying off my men and per force had to make the trip with us. Neither had been under fire before. Our armor, 3-16 inch thick, only pro- tects a man as high as the waist. At first they had no idea we were being fired at, as the bullets sounded like some insect in the air. Baker was watching the cavalry and leaning out over the side when he saw something hit the water in front of him and then bullet struck the armor about 2 inches from the top and right where hie stomach was Fortunately il did not hit squarely and so did not come through the armor.
 On the 18th we were sent to Manila with the remains of four of our men who had been killed, and with 26 wounded. one of whom died before we got to the Pasig river. There we met the hospital boat and she took them
 On the 29th General and Mrs. Law ton and the generals staff came on board and we steamed down to Los Bangos, a town about three miles from Colombia We did not fire on the town and they put out the white flag. General Lawton ordered a boats crew ashore to land, find out if they were friendly and post guards, so that he tould land. I went ashore with the boat, posted my guards and then ex- amined the town and questioned the inhabitants. am getting so I can "bla" (talk) with them fairly well, but 1t is kind of bastard Spanish and Tagalo Los Bangos is certainly the most beautiful town I have seen on the island. It is here that the hospi- tals owned by the Spanish Govern ment are located. There are number of hot springs all in one place. The doctor says their temperature is above boiling point and they have great medicinal properties.
 They told me I was the first Ameri- can who had ever landed there. Great mountains surround the town; the roads are excellent. In front you have the beautiful lake, The moun- tai1s simply teem with game and the lake with fish
 There was more heavy firing yester day, but we did not participate. The enemy tried to retake the town but did not succeed. They lost about 400. To-day we are to go to Manila taking the killed and wounded
