A Washington special to the Press and
Dakotan says:
On the records of the volunteer or
ganizations which served In the Phil
ippines none are more interesting
than those Of the First South Dakota
volunteer infantry. This regiment
suffered the heaviest In killed aud
wounded Of any volunteer organization
sent to the far east. II the killed and
wounded can be taken as an indication
of the services Of the regiment 1t oc-
cupies the first place among the organ
izations Of heroes sent to the orient.
Up to and including the 5th day OF this
month the list OF dead numbers So,
including 10 officers, while the list OF
wounded numbers 80, including IL
officers.
No volunteer regiment that sailed
for the Philippines will return home
with brighter record than the First
South Dakota volunteer infantry.
From the time it arrived at Manila,
about September l, 1898, the organiza-
tion was looked upon both by the COM
manding generals In the field and the
officials here as one Of the most re-
liable and courageous In the islands.

battles than any other volunteer or
sanization, making magnificent rec
ord in each, calling forth the just
recognition of its valorous services In
the reports of commanding generals.
