their strong position, which was
about one mile from lines. We
were all very tired from the hard
march we had, but when the fight
began every one was anxious to
get to the front.
Our regiment camped on the
ground where the fight was and
we buried several Philippines
which was in the camp; among
whom was an American who at
one time belonged to the 9th
Artillery and had deserted. He
was a Major in the 1nsurgent
army. On the next day, the Sth
we marched to Das Marin =
where we camped until the evoa'
ing of the 10th when we marched
to Silong We stayed there the
rest of the night, which was from
/ o'clock in the morning until day
light. Then we started for Tai
isay. We marched over a rough
mountain and suffered terribly fer
water. About 4 o'clock in the
evening we struck the enemy
again, we had a little fight then
but it did not last long, we took
possession of the town and camp
ed there that night. On the next
day we marched to Tauan where
we expected to fight but were
surprised to find That the enemy
had left, Our rations gave out at
Talisay; therefore we had to hus'
tie for something to eat, | manas-
ed to get some rice and a chicken
and faired very well,
The next day, the 18th, we
started for Lipa, which is the
largest town on the island out
side of Manila. We struck the
enemy entrenched about five
miles from Tauanan and had a
good little fight which lasted 2
hours; then we marched on to
Lipa. We lost two men only
in the fight. When we got to
Lipa we found only some Span
ish prisoners whom we liberated.
They were the happiest people
you ever saw when we turned
them loose; some of them having
been prisoners eighteen months.
We had a very hard time get
ting something to eat but manag-
ed to get along until the next day
when the wagon train got there
then we got some rations and
started for San Jose where we
camped that night, the 10th, and
on the following morning march
ed to Bahamas, here we had a
flight but as usual it wasn't long
until they run and we took poses

ers. On the next day, the 18th,

back to Lipa and have been
making this bead quarters since.
The first Battalion is at Batan'
