If this list will be of use to the pub
lie use it, as it is official and correct. John
S%orenson reported dead is far from il.
though he will lose an eye, and possibly
both. Don't believe a word of the lax
treatment in the hospitals. That Miss
Schofer who wrote so i'll of the hospitals
was only getting even" Major Crosley
refused her further entry to the hospitals
on the grounds of Immoral character"
The wounded are all doing nicely now.
l do not think any more will die, unless
some complications arise. There is more
fighting ahead, but not much more if we
get achievements. Our line around
Manila is now IS miles long and is so
hin that no more advance can be made
safely at present. About the battles time
prevents me from writing more than a
few words, and the telegraph no doubt
has given you a better account than we
have had ourselves. There is not a cow
ard in the Montana regiment. You may
he proud of their fighting qualities.
Nothing out darkness and the peculiar
running qualities of the insurgents kept
them from chasing the "niggers'bto Mo-
lolas, the stronghold of A~guinaldO.
, The health of the command is good.
About the seventeenth century gun: I
have not had the good fortune to see or
hear of one in the country. In all the
captured territory so far nothing but
Mausers and Remingtons nave been
found. Yes; I fotgot the wooden guns.
Now, that will strike you as being in
~credulous, but nevertheless it is a fact,
that on the field was found wooden guns
the size of Mausers, made of comagon
wood, barrels stained black and mount
ings Of tin and strap of black canvas.
You see there were not guns enough to
so around, and each set of tours was
provided with two real guns and two
wooden ones. AS soon as a holder of a
real gun was shot the wooden gun was
dropped and the real one put to use. Dur
ing the charge of CaloOcan the ''niggers'
got to running so fast that everything
was left on the field.
Should I get an opportunity to get one
of the f1intlocks for the ''old padre" it
win give me pleasure to do so. The mag
aZines are coming O.. X. l will acknow,-
edge formally soon. Very respectfully.
