LETTER FROM THE
PHILIPPINES.
BATAc, P. L, Apr. 4.19OO.

@N' huSS tulS evening
Well, | wrote you letter Easte
Sunday and row l will writ,
about Easter Monday.
There were 81 men here count.
ing myself. About 1890 A. M
we were surprised to hear terri.
BILE yell on all sides, but it onl,
took second to know what wa.
the matter. The whole Insur.
recto army was on us. We all
/ grabbed rifle and belt tha,
contained 100 cartridges and be.
gan one of the biggest fights on
the Island. We charged with a
yell and began rapid fire. Mig
gers fell like rain drops all around.
As luck would have it they forgot
to cut the telegraph line and the
operator sent for reinforcements
from Laveg. We fought hard
until late in the afternoon, then
they set the town on fire, but our
barracks were built of brick
with tin roof, SO we were
safe. The rest of the town wa. all
burned. AT 4:30 p. M. troop,
30th cavalry, arrived and brought
more ammunition and we fought
until dark, when the Insurrectos
retreated. Their loss was $50
killed and ] 20 prisoners and many
of their wounded got away. 1t
was sad sight. Our loss was
three killed and four wounded.
| dressed all of the wounded. The
ambulance arrived next morning.
1t was estimated there were 2, 800
1nsurrectos against our 81. Most
of these men had Mausers Reming-
tons and Bolos. They were all
drunk or none of US would have
been left live TO tell the story.
But we have large reinforcements
here now. They have attacked
many towns around.
One of our dead was left on the
field all night. The next morn
ing we went to the trench that we
charged. Our boy lay on one
side Of the ridge and thirty mig
gers on the other not six feet
apart. They had taken all his
clothes off and chopped him a
great many times with a bolo, but
he never knew it, fer he was shot
through the breast and killed in
stantly. One of our killed was a
boy knew in Denver, Seargent.
He was shot through the bowels
and lived about an hour. The
other was cavalryman who was
shot through the head. But we
will make many negro bite the
dust for their treachery. We
thought they were our friends and
the whole city was against US.
They have got enough Spanish
blood in them to be treacherous and
mean. They intended to kill us
all and have a grand feast. We
found their roasted beef and had |
a good supper. The old priest
had 100 bolo men hid in his church.
We made him hard to md. Troops |
are arriving here thick and we are
going TO start an aggressive CAM
paign.

brothers for about month, but

them yesterday.

papers about Co. G. 34th Volun-
teers. / don't care to get get in
it again. L don't thing they will
ever try it again, for they got
whipped so bad. Gen. Tinio led
them. L think it is their last

Now F amOuS as
A Play Writer
A Former Ebert LADY
Whose Remarkable
Ability in this Line
is Extending.

MIS-. middleton, former resi-
dent of this place, who is now
becoming famous as a play writer,
and whose name is in the mouth
OF every prominen. actor in tho
country, sends this paper copy of
a very popular and successful
drama written by her covering
nearly 100 pages of closely printed
matter bound in magazine form,
the volume being about the size
of the Delineator, and writes the
following interesting personal let
ter which will be of general ins
terest to ali her old friends and
acquaintances:
MR. KING.-Pray accept my
apologies for not sending you ere
this copy of my play, after your
kind notice in the paper about me.
The enclosed one is one amongst
four have written and my first,
therefore please make allowances
for deficiencies. The present one
l am engaged upon is a classic,
the highest ideal in literature, and
my best. 1t is called ssThe Favor
ties" My next effort will be one
called "The Prodigal Son." and
needless to say:will be founded more
or less upon the well known story
of the Bible. only essay what is
called high class plays and i am
proud to say my success in this
line more than surpasses my an
ticipation. Joe Newman has en-
gagged me to write his plays at
remunerative sum and | have in
deed found a friend in him as
well asin Mrs. Glitch. But then do
not now need to mention friends,
as everyone of the famous actors
l now meet gives me the utmost
encouragement, amongst whom,
and the greatest may he mention
ed Sir Henry Irving, from whem |
Treceiyed an autograph letter not
long since. / have reason to hope
that some day may awake like
some of the great authors and find
myself famous, but if l do l hope
| have enough sense left from my
vicissitudes of fortune to be as /
always have been the same person
in the midst of misfortune as in
reversed prosperity. My life in
Ebert is now a long forgotten
story. | never extended any re-
sentiment to you, however, Mr..
King, and if l succeed there is
none whose well wishes and friend
ship | shall prize as highly as
yours. Needless to say this feel
ing also extends to Ben, who not
his high wages, and
L very gentlemanly and kind man
20 work for, still speaks of Mr..
King as ono whom, could personal
wishes have sway, he would like to
work for above all others. Wish
ng yourself and family con-
Iinuance of the prosperity that
always attends you, ! remain,
Your Friend and Well Wisher,
