several hours. Fortunately there wera
no prisoners in the police station. and
but few people in the building. Several
other buildings caught. but were quick
ly extinguished. The building was
erected during reconstruction days. and
it's original cost ran into the hundreds
of thousands. There We're no serious

Here we camped for the night. hav-
ing again to rustic our grub, also be-
ing pleasantly surprised by the gift
OF about three bareback to the man,
which we considered quite a luxury.
Next morning we got one can of pre-
served broncho and 40 hardtacks to
the squad (eight mem for breakfast,
and Immediately after we started on
the advance. Here we got pinched
out again and were compelled to fall
into the reserve on account of some
swampy country. The boys soon
ran into the niggers again and killed
three, while five were wounded be-

The natives always do their best
work ut long range. They made a
pretty good stand on the other side
of a river, where they intended to try
and hold "a big railroad bridge. They
had the finest kind of trences, but
even with all their advantage we
made them quit and ''vamoose."
Then we fought them back from an
other big railroad bridge and camped
for the night just above the town of
Buiguinto. Here the commissary, or
rather the canteen car. caught up to
us and those Of us who had money
got filled up on ginger ale, condensed
milk, blackberry jam and ginger
snaps. Here, also, they managed to
give us some rotten canned salmon
that made us all sick. We stayed
here till about 3 p. m. and then moved
across the big bridge and made an
advance Of about four miles, when
we a into a very suspicious-lo0k-
ing mess, having first got lost and
badly scattered in an impenetrable
pineapple thicket, and a halt was
called. Lieut.. Foster and my whole
squad were detailed to ga out and
scout the whole line Of woods in our
vicinity. which was an extremely
dangerous piece Of work, for we knew
the niggers were all around us in
trenches, and, to make things doubly
