Chaplain u. 4. Stull, with the Mon
tana regiment in the Philippines, has
written brief letter to the Standard
in which he gives the additional list of
killed and wounded up to February Is,
when the letter was written. The list
is supplemental to the chaplain's for
mer list, which was received couple
of weeks ago and which was published
in these columns. Among the names
which appear in Mr.. Stulrs list will be
found some of whom no mention was
made in the press dispatches.
Chaplain Stulrs letter is as follows:

Lieut.. French was started out at $50
a. M, Feb. oath, to guard our flank
During the night a band of insurgents
disguised as fishermen and women had
passed through the line on the shore
and had attempted to burn a part of
the city of Manila. In this they sue
ceeded. destroying much property in
Santa Cruz and Binondo districts. These
men were driven back toward our line
and French's Co. l. started to intercept
them. In this he succeeded. but in ad-
Vancing alone across paddy field to
some natives shot was fired and he
fell forward dead
Perhaps the nearest approach to
death and escape was that of Lieut.
Phil Greeman, Co. X. A bullet struck
the stock of his pistol in his holster:
shattered the stock struck the iron Of
the handle and DETECTED passing up
ward, grazing the ribs under the right
arm. He carries his pistol minus any
woodwork, but alive for duty.
Our position is trying one. We
are exposed to the firing on the front
and both sides, and many of the wounds
are made with the men in the trenches.
| We have been under fire for three
weeks and it is hard to keep the men
away from firing line. There are
| very few cases of cold feet At this
! writing-9:3O p. NJ firing has ceased,
but will probably begin again before
| morning. STULL."
D. F. Hallahan yesterday received a
very brief note from his brother John
Hallahan, Captain of Company M. The
letter brings the information that ev-
erything is well: that the boys are feel
ing fine and that they are anxious for
more conflict.
Yesterday was the day for the regular
mail from the Philippines, but the num-
Der of letters received was very few.
This IS owing doubtless to the fact that
the boys are miles from Manila and
that they are too busy fighting to spare
much time for writing letters.
