 January 13 following the Thirty-eighth infantry, Colonel Anderson, south from Santo Tomas to Lipa, there was fight, but the Thirty-ninth took no active part therein except to drive away the enemy's sharpshooters from the woods by the road side I unintentionally twice assisted in locating the enemy. Riding out into the open fields at the roadside to try to see the progress of the fight in front. l received the enemy's distinguished consideration in two instances in the shape of a volley. 1 wasn't touched but they wounded one of my good men, This made everybody mad, and in ten minutes our men had woods ana fields clear of the enemy.s sharpshooters.
 Rescued paniards
 Capturing Lipa, we there found and re- leased about 125 Spanish soldiers who had been prisoners of war for some fourteen months. They leaped, danced, cried, laughed and jabbered wildly. In the bab- ble of Tagalog and Spanish I was the first to understand that they were declaring that eight or ten miles away at Rosario were seven Americans and seventy Spanish prisoners of war in the hands of the en- emy.
 Right here I had ample return for much hard work that I had for the past four teen years undergone for the purpose of keeping alive a little knowledge of Span ish. As soon as spoke up glibly in Span ish the whole lot of chattering, excited, happy fellows gathered around me, and l found one who was ready to take my or derly's horse and guide me to Rosario.
 Colonel Anderson my superior, now real ly commanding me, was ioath to go, but would not forbid me- off I started with four mounted men and the guide. Five more mounted officers of the Thirty-eighth with Colonel Anderson himself seeing my little party really going followed.
 We had a total of eleven men, as fol- lows: Two colonels, lieutenant-colo nel, one major one captain, one lieutenant, one sergeant, three privates and one Span ish guide. By common consent l led that band, though Colonel Anderson ranked me. We dashed. I saw thousands of fleeing na- tives crying, screaming, praying, but. above all, hiking" out for their lives, they thought, to fields, forest and mountains. We saw a few scurrying soldiers. l shot at every one I saw, no matter how far away
 An hour brought us to Rosario. We had 1utrun the frightened people and stray sol diers who had run away from Lipa, and we came bowling, at the full speed of the horses, shooting and shouting into the town. The colonel of the Thirty-ninth in- fantry, U. s. ", had six-shooter in one hand and a ''Krag rife in the other, and I know he emptied them a couple of times before he felt that the townw had been "shot up'' in the true western style. There were few Filipino soldiers in the town. I

Calamba, we undertook January to lift it on the other half. At Santo Tomas, eight ten miles south of Calamba, I had been warningly informed by General Otis chief of staff, General Schwan. that the enemy was concentrating. At Puente de Viga, six miles from Calamba, were Notifications which were declared impreg- nable impossible. Now that I have seen them I may say that with Americans be- hind them they would have been so.
 We moved against them in front with three guns and battalion of infantry, and l, With five hundred men, went far through the mountains on the east around the flank winding up in the enemy's rear. In the frontal attack, the infantry and the gat- ling gun potted them and the mountain gun and field gun pounded them over six miles in three separate engagements which lasted for four hours. They counted eighteen dead. In the fanking movement my column had one skirmish. When my troops finally made the frontal attack on the Notifications of Puente de Viga, I had completed my circuit and was one mile in the enemys immediate rear and the place was untenable. We spent the rest of the day and our strength in chasing their small scattered bands through forest and field. Excellent cover and knowledge of their difficult country saved them from massacre They were completely scattered tWenty-four killed, sixty captured, wound ed unknown, but maaifestly large We captured some rifles, some ammunition bolos (heavy sword knives), two small brass and two small woodenN cannon Our loss that same diSpropcrtion as on January l, and 3-one killed and three wounded Santo Tomass. whence I now wrte fell without a shot.

 My movement was most opportune and lucky. It shut in a large force of nsurg- ents between Generals Bates and Schwan on enc side and the Thirty-ninth on the other .n the provinces of Cavite, Laguna and RatGngas, between Lake Taal and Bay lake.

CALVES ECCENTRICITIES
Queer Antics On the StagerHer Love of Fun
in inc New York Press.

Hillary Bell, in the New York Press
 Calves departure is load off MT. Graus s mind and blessed release to the other singers The fiery Frenchwoman is as ec- centric as Mime Bernhardt, but does not possess half the common sense of Mime. Sarah. However mad Bernhardt may be- and there are those that think she is men, tally unbalanced-the great actress still keeps her oddities for private life and never obtrudes them on the stage. Mile. Calve is of different disposition. In private life she Is the most demure and conservative of creatures, but the moment she enters the opera house her eccentricities develop. The footlights, the music, the dramatic con ception of her role, are many intoxicants to the prima donna, and when the perform ance begins nobody knows what oddity will possess her humor Humor it always, for Cave is the spirit of fun, and art seems to be one grand, sweet joke to her.
 Like Naughty Blanche in Belascos farce, she is divvyler and nothing, nor dignity, nor fame, nor the stage manager, nor the audience nor the wrath of singers, quells her enthusiasm for a jest. On one occasion she pulled off the wig of Jean de feszke when he was in the middle of an mpassion- ed air, leaving the tenor bald, helpless and furious with indignation before his admir- CTS. On another occasion she smote Es- camille in the face with handful of rose leaves and one of them flew into his throat, nearly strangling him in the Toreador song. She made Don Jose chase her around an apple cart in the last act of Carmen un- til the tragedy was converted into comedy, and everybody was roaring with laughter over the tenor at a moment when he meant to make his most thrilling impression.
 True to the traditions of her history, Calve raised Cain on the benefit night and made her last appearance at the Metropo- itan as memorable as it's predecessors. She was on the stage only halr an hour during the second act of Carmen" but within those thirty minutes she kept the audience in astonishment and the singers in appre- hension. Just as the curtain went up she climbed on a table and struck a statuesque pose there, to the terror of everybody for the table was rickety, the prfma donna is weighty, and an accident was imminent until realizing her danger, she leaped back to the stage. She wound up the Bolero with loud hurrah that startled the house.
 After that she fell into trouble with her hair, which was done into gigantic pom padour, and throughout Senor Scotti's ad- mirable delivery of the Toreador's song Calve rushed frantically around the stage hunting for hairpins. Her action com pletely spoiled the baritones best scene, and his rage was noticeable even through his grease paint. To add to his discomfiture Calve suddenly discovered that she had in- terfered with his success, and, creeping to his side apologetically, she kissed him. thereby throwing the audience into another roar of laughter. It will be a sad day for audiences, but a happy hour for opera singers when Emma Calve joins the heav- enly choir-but she will surely raise ruc- tions among the angels.

Drove Back Superior Forces

January I received orders from Gen. eral Otis to go back to Calambe. He was pleased that the Thrty-ninth had smash ed the enemy, but didn't think we should have followed him fifteen miles into his most loyal territory. It is no exaggeration nor egotism to say that this outbreak of the Thirty-ninth without orders, without a man killed, alone its success in what everybody regarded as part of the strong est of the enemy's country astonished the military authorities at Manila They evil dently thought me in danger, for I was ordered to withdraw from Binang which was recaptured few days later from the enemy by General Schwan with brigade of 1000 men of all arms with greater loss in one fight than the Thirty y-ninth with its 600 men had had in the five fights of Jan uary 1, and B.
