Dear Folks at home
This is my 22nd birthday and just
happened to think of it few minutes
ago. | suppose you are wondering at
this very minute where am celebrat-
ing, so | will tell you all about it.
l am sitting in my private office, "a
hole In the ground, with a shelter

fighting flies and big red ants, trying
to think of something to write. This
is the thirty second day we have laid
in the trenches and | am sun burned,

but with the exception Of slight
touch of rheumatism never felt better

that my beard is Il beautiful red and
| shall certainly get rid of them and
never try the experiment again, the
first opportunity | have to do so. Bert
Miller is my bunky and owns one
third interest i'm the dug-out with Sam
Bell, of Pittsburg, Kans,, and myself
Miller has almost as much of n beard
as his father and looks for the world
like him. The boys are all well and
were it not for the Filipino sharp
shooters this outing would be better
than staying i'm barracks in the filthy
old town. Their sharp shooters can't
hit barn when they do shoot. They
just come close enough TO scare fel.

ventures out and is shot at, The in
surgents on our front are intrenched
at the crest of the hill and i'm the edge
of the woods, while our trenches are
in the ravine at the foot of the hill:
we are about seven hundred yards
apart. They put up flag of truce
three or four days ago and the Colonel
went out to meet it and talked with
their officers, since then we have had
sort of an armistice on and not q
shot has been fired on our line, al
though the Montana regiment next in
line on our right is under fire contin
ually. The agreement suits us very
well for we can lounge around under
shade trees and get some exercise.

rebels there by doing so. OF course
there are some wooden socks needed

self, you know always was a coward

We will no more have to listen to the
stories of the battle OF Manila by

CALooCAN, p. l., Feb, 2G, 1899.
Dear Mother:
| will try and write you short
note under difficulties, as we are
under almost constant fire from he
insurgents. We have chased them
this tar, but will now have to wait for
reinforcements before we can drive
them farther, as our line is stretched
as much as it will stand and they
are in front of us with much superb
or force. We are just about a mile
and half from Malobon, which is a
well fortified town of about twenty
thousand, but we can take it at any
time as it Is at the mercy of Dewey's
fleet and our artillery. We have, ur
to date, lost about forty killed and
wounded in the regiment.
Col, Fred is known to all the
troops as very brave colonel, who
commands regiment of terrific
fighters.
VIM. McGrew, from lola, was shot
through the shoulder, but will gel
we'll.
The insurgents are great night
fighters. They charge our lines al
most every night but are repulseC
with great loss. They are brave
enough, but fire too high to dc
much damage. The Twentieth
regiment and Fourth u. S. A. are in
and those from New York are reported
from Singapore. When they all ar
rive we are going to run the natives
clear to the mountains.
They got into our lines on the nigh
of the 23rd and tried to capture
Manila. They burned block after
block, but the Americans just let the
fire burn and went to fighting. We
killed about five hundred and they
were glad to quit,
We have been i'm these same
trenches twenty-tbree days and ex.
pect to stay here about ten more. All

From Colonel Funston.

TfOln iOlOllel II uIStOH.
Col. Funston, in letter to the edi-
tor of the REGISTER, writes with his
usual modesty concerning the doings
of himself and his regiment. "You
have probably read In the papers ere
this" he says, "more or less details
of the fighting as well as the causes
that brought on the conflict. The
Philippines were simply aching for a
spanking and now they are getting 1t
hard. The Twentieth has made sew
eral advances, but now is entrenched
at Caloocan, three miles north of the
city, where we have had some deeul-
tory fighting. We are now waiting
the arrival of re-inforcements enroute
from home, and when they come the
enemy will probably be given another
touch of high life. AS it is now all
the troops here, except several regi-
ments used to preserve order in the
city, are formed as a Gordon around
the land eide of Manila.
at is an undoubted fact that of all
the regiments here the most praise
has been given the Twentieth Kansas,
and ii Is the most talked of regiment
in the Eighth Army Corps. There
has been a dash aud vim about the
fighting of the regiment that has call
ed forth most liberal praise from our
generals,
"Moie fighting is certain and addi-
ditional losses are inevitable, but l dc
hope that it will not be necessary to
get any more than possible of these
Kansas boys killed or manned. While
want the regiment to do its duty
wherever sent, do not want either II
or me to win glory at the expense OF

Since the outbreak six weeks ago

In another place he speaks of 8
roasting somebody gave him for moi
allowing the men to bathe on board
the transport, and for compelling
them to wear their blouses at religion;
service, and says in reply that no re-
strictions whatever were placed on
their bathing, and that the men were
allowed to go about the ship in theil
underwear if they wished.
From which it appears that even
the Colonel of victorious regiment
has some troubles.

treme left of the line, and has advanc.
