toned ridicu1ously close to the Ameri-
can lines.
On the San Juan bridge, over a por-
ton Of the Pasig river, our guard was
IN position at one end and the insurgent
guard at the other. About 8 o'clock on
Saturday evening the insurgent guard
attempted TO cross the bridge. He was
shot dead by our sentry. Before this,
however, the insurgents had opened fire

by and shot into the Nebraska, camp.

that this scare would turn out as the

! firing had become general. Most of the
firing in the earlier part of the battle
was done by the insurgents. Their vol
legs were not destructive, as they fired
high. Soon our men replied with vigor,
and thus throughout the night the fight
continued, our artillery in the mean
time playing upon the insurgent posi-
tons.
| Apparently the natives had an idea
that we would follow the Spanish meth
! cd of allowing them to fight at night
and rest by day. When at early morn

charge that had been ordered, the ma

shouted, Americana mucho smalo!''
But they were mistaken in their guess.
A general advance adj along the line

was knocking down the Lighthouses
and the other works held by the ma
tives. Before this work was completed
the whole army was lined UP in close
formation and then deployed into a
skirn1ish line for the desperate work
ahead. All knew that they were con-
fronted by overwhelming numbers of
insurrectos and that it would require
the utmost valor to dislodge them from
their strong positions.
When the advance was begun, ali ma

went. By this means the insurgents

Keystone State, which made its reputa-

army. The old Chinese hospital, not

called by the Spaniards. The chapel is

UNIQUE. AE1RIAJ Kaufman

There are some very unique railroads
in existence in different parts of the
globe. but probably the most novel Of
them all is one that was recently erect
ed at the Kimberley mines in South Al
RIGA. The ma nagement of the great dia-
mond field found considerable difficulty
+ in conducting a railway from the base
of the mines to the top of the hills
where are situated the offices of the
company in a village, in which also live
the employees.
3 Every means of traffic devised failed
until one bright young Englishman sug-
gested a rope railway. His plan was to
place six wire cables, drawn taut be
tween the top and base of the hin. and
to shoot platform cars on triple trucks
down,by- gravity, hauling them up again
by huge hawsers. The plan was used
and overcame all objections, filling the
biH to perfection. The read, now stands
the most unique in the world.

hospital from position in the rear of
the Pennsylvania command.
The charge of the Tenth on the Chi
nese hospital was one of the most bril-
liant of the fight, with the exception of
the dash up the hill to the Binondo
cemetery following the first heroic
charge From the time the regiment
lined up in company formation until it
rested on the top of the hill at the
Binondo cemetery the men were con-
tinually under fire. When the regiment
had deployed as skirmishers, Colonel
Hawkins gave the command For
wardi" from his position in the lead.
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, Major Bic
rer and Major Cuthbertson all led in the
charge. 1t was a splendid line that the
officers of the Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ment led across the rough ricefields in
front of the Chinese hospital. This
building was used by the insurrectos as
barracks and headquarters. When a
bullet did it's deadly work, the gap in
the American ranks was quickly closed
in, and with cheer and volley the Penn
sylvanians swept onward, unmindful of
the shower of Mausers and Remingtons.
On the right were the boys from South
Dakota, on the left those other west
ernerS from Montana, who out of sheer
admiration for the magnificent charge
of their eastern comrades could not re-
sist the temptation to join in the ad-
vance. Onward swept the Pennsylva-
mans, and until they reached the very
walls of the insurgent stronghold there
was no stop. When they swept up and
captured the position, the insurgent
hordes were well out on their headIong
retreat up the rough hillside toward the
Binondo cemetery, where they massed
in force. They carried away their

THE CHARGE UP THE BINoNDo CEMETERY H1LL

magnificent charges of the day and
were by far the strongest held by the
insurgents. Just beyond and to the
left of the cemetery the insurgents were
l-intrenched in a sturdy stone fort or
blockhouse. Occupying these positions
a regiment of our army might have
stood off 10000 men. Before the Penn
sylvania boys, however, the insurgents
fled like hunted animals. When the
command of Colonel Hawkins moved up
in line of battle to charge across the
uneven but open ricefields and past
fences and bitches, it seemed like going
to certain death. Yet not man finch
ed and there was not a waiver in the
/ line of splendid soldiery The officers
Of the command were always in the
| lead of the men and the men themselves
always eager to keep pace with their
leaders. No longer does the rush up
San Juan hill stand alone in the list of
heroic charges. The dash of the Penn
sylvania volunteer -soldiery across the
ricefields and up the slopes dotted with
the homes of the dead will live in his
tory. Nothing could have been more
daring, nothing more brilliantly sue
cessful. And it must be remembered
that it was accomplished by mere
handful of men opposed to hundreds of
the enemy iintrenched in a strong posi-
ltion.
The Fighting Tenth which for the Sec
ond time has covered itself with glory,
| is short regiment. When the COM
mand left Pennsylvania, it was COM
posed of eight companies of 81 men
each, and thus it remained until the
arrival Of battalion of recruits some
1.-TWO months ago, which gave the regi-
ment eight full companies of 101 men,
which was somewhat reduced by deaths.
1 Two of these companies were stationed
at Corregidor and one company was de-
tailed to act as bodyguard to Brigadier
General Otis, so the regiment went into
battle with scarcely 500 men.
During Saturday night the Tenth was
under quite a heavy fire. but the COM
Inland held its position, and until day
break the cool Pennsylvania boys play
ed waiting game. 1t was probably s
o'clock on Sunday morning when Cello
mel Hawkins lined his little command
up in company formation and then de-
ployed quickly into skirmish line. In
the meanwhile three guns of the Utah
/ battery had been Smelling the Chinese

wounded; but, realizing that a dead
niger was of no further use, they left
the dead behind.
AT the Chinese hospital the Tenth
halted for rest. In the matter of cas-
ualties the regiment had been. exceed
ingly fortunate. Thererhad been no men
killed and but two or three wounded.
While the regiment bivouaoked the men
rested, preparing for the work still
ahead of them. All this time the Maui
sers whistled disagreeably overhead,
the Filipino sharpshooters keeping up a
calling fire. The Montana and South
Dakota divisions moved forward on a
line with the Tenth, and section of the
Utah battery with the Tenth moved its
three guns up on the line and proceed

shot all around the hillside cemetery.
The chapel in the center was riddled by
half dozen shots, and the guns of the
fleet likewise dropped shells all along
the insurgent lines.
1t was probably 2 p. m. when the
Tenth reformed for the second charge
of the day. Tt was then soon observed
that an advance directly to the front
would occasion a great loss of life to
the regiment, and in consequence an or
der to deploy to the left so as to gain

out and quickly executed. After-an- ad-

their leaders, sprang from cover and by
right flank movement, the real charge
up the hill began. The firing OF the
Utah battery continued until the line
was we'll up the crest of the hill Then
the insurgent advance lines were driven
in. and there was a grand rush of the
natives into the cemetery. Insurrectos

sition. But this did not end the firing
of the insurgents, who continued their

fled to cover toward Caloocan. Conn.,

Pennsylvania line when the charge be-
gan, but c and 1, which had been on
duty with Brigadier General Otis, ar

the close of the engagement. At night
the Tenth rested with the left in the
cemetery, where the three guns of the
Utah battery were stationed, the right
extending across the dipping ground to
the South Dakota line.
In Manila there has been no attempt
at a concerted outbreak, but there are
thousands Of insurgents and Filipino
sympathizers in the city. Our provost
guard has been able to preserve the ut
most quietude. They use heroic meth
DDS of dealing with the natives and the
latter are in constant terror of them.
All native habitations are searched and
all kinds of arms and ammunition con-
fiscated. Marines can be landed the mo-
ment there is need of them.
The insurgents have butchered a
number of Americans held prisoners
and mutilated their bodies in a horrible
manner. DR.. Young of the Utah artil-
lery was killed and cut to pieces. Moth
ing has been heard of half a dozen
Americans held prisoners before the
outbreak, and they undoubtedly have
been murdered. The insurgents have
been firing on our ambulance wagons
and respect nothing American. Our side
retaliates by burning everything as we
go. This, however, is a necessary pre-
caution, as the native sympathizers
use these places as positions of vantage
from which they pick off our men.

commands nevertheless lost no time in
getting into line and Immediately were
marched to the front. From the time
they reached the native villages which
form the outskirts of the city our men
were continually under fire. When they
reached their places on the advance
line, it was at once seen that there was
much work ahead. All along the line
there was heavy firing, with only slight
cessations. The Sixth artillery was put
in position out at Malate, on the east
side of the Pasig before the old city,
and the Utah artillery was stationed to
the west of the Pasig in front of New
Manila. The boats of our fleet were also
in position, the Concord. Callao and
