LETTER FROM MANILA.
TContinued from last week. I

lHe SpaIliaFdS brought out q nag
OF truce asking permission to carry
in their dead which they were allow
ed to do. Shortly after sun up our
relief came out and we went back to
camp where had a good days rest,
after that we had no more fighting to
amount to anything but few skirm-
ishes which never amounted to much.
And so the time passed, and we were
beginning to wonder when the advance
would be made against Manila, but
little news could be had, Fit was al
ways tomorrow Dewey was going
to begin the bombardment, but to-
morrow came and went until finally
Friday evening orders came to give
each man two hundred rounds of am
unition and two days rations, and for
the whole command to proceed to the
trenches. Saturday morning (Aug.
13th) the command numbered be-
tween ten and twelve thousand men.
We all knew what was coming, and
not man but what was anxious to
see it over. / must admit that / felt
little shakey that night when / lay
down and i wondered what the NOR
row would bring me. And SO the
night passed and the dawn found
every man ready to do his duty. |
remember that morning well, it was
dismal and gloomy enough, and !
knew it would rain before we would
ever get to the trenches, and it did.
it just poured down and we were in
mud and water up to our kness, but
it did not turn us from our purpose
in gaining the trenches, and SO by
eight o'clock we were ready for the
fray. After we had gained our po-
sition the captain got orders to send
out detachment of men to cut a
road through the cane brake. He
put me in command of twenty men
and ordered me if possible to cut the
road through, but not expose the
men to the enemies fire if it could be
avoided. Well, we went to our task,
but it was trying one, half of the
men had axes besides their rifles and
so we cut the road as we went along
in mud and water some places up to
our waist, but it did not check us any
and were working along on our last
strip when Dewey opened up with his
fleet and then began the tug of war.
I have often read of bonn 5ardments
and had an idea, thought, OF what
it must be, but unless one really wit
ness its effects, they have no concep-
ton of what q terrible thing it is.
At.first l did not know where the
shots came from and the men were
ready to retreat for we could hear the
