that II did not occur in a public place.

plants in the country in process Of
erection and nearing completion, is
the New York Shipbuilding Company,
at Kaighn's Point, Camden, N. j., of
which Henry G. Morse, formerly Of
this city, is president.
Ever since last Summer an army of
men has been kept at work, getting

While a great amount of work has
been done at the new shipyard a great
deal more remains to be. done before
the keel of the first vessel will be laid.
Giant cranes and ponderous machinery
must be put in place; a wharf 1000
feet long is to be built, shears erected,
docks constructed, and the multifar-
ious appliances to work iron and steel
and timber Installed. 1t may be year
yet before the first big vessel is fairly
under construction, but when once un-
der way it can be pushed to early COM
pletion with the improved machinery
that viii be installed. Many labor
saving devices are to be used, and in
this respect the new yard will be far
ahead Of some of its old competitors.

LIEUT.. DUNN WRITES HOME
HIS FIRST ENGAGEMENT IN THE
PHILIPPINES DESCRIBED.

Two very interesting letters under
date OF January and 19 have been re-
ceived by Mrs. Elizabeth N. Dunn, OF
No. 1101 Madison street from her son,
John M. Dunn. who is a first lieuten-
ant in the Twenty-eighth Infantry.
United States Volunteers. In the first
letter he stated;
I'VE left Big Bend last Sunday
morning at $50. At that time we could
hear the sound Of a battle to the north
east which afterwards proved to be
the First Battalion Of our regiment en-
gaging the enemy about five miles
away.
I'VE marched south to linus and de-
ployed as skirmishers just inside of the
town, the Second Battalion on the left
Of the road running south from linus.
and the Third Battalion on the right
Of the same road. We had four mountain
guns on the road. The engagement open
ed by shelling the enemy in a woods
that skirted a road running east and
west, which we had been ordered to
capture; It was about 200 yards away
The command forward was given and
we moved forward into the open rice
fields. As soon as we came into the open
the enemy, 1000 strong, opened fire and
you could hear the bullets whistling
over your head and crashing through
the bamboo
i dismounted from my horse to fight
on foot We advanced steadily through
the fields and at about 500 yards opened
fire. After an hour we crossed the
road and emerged again on the other
side. The enemy opened fire again,
kbut 600 yards away; we took up the
advance and drove them out Of their
entertainments. We then fell back to
our position on the road and camped
for the night. 1t was beautiful to see
the shells from the artillery bursting
among the enemy, hurting them in
every direction. We were opposed bv
about 1000 insurgents. our forces num-
bered about $50. We lost two killed
and ten wonded, while the enemy's loss
was about $50 killed and wounded. This
is called the battle of Tancauluma and
my first fight
Major Taggart was in command and
in his report of the engagement he
complimented me for bravery during
the fight.
"The next day we marched down
here and have been at this place ever
since, resting. We are now preparing
to chase the niggers down into the
mountains in Batangas province. where
our troops never have been. am in
the best Of health and ready for a scrap
every day."
The second letter is equally as inter-
esting. It reads as follows: This is
a beautiful day. The sun is shining
brightly, but there is a cool breeze
blowing and the temperature is about
20 degrees. We have done nothing
since the day of the fight, but sit
around here. Everyone is loud in
praise Of the Twenty-eighth. We have
been congratulated on all sides for the
brave fight we made and for the man.
lner in which we licked the Insurgents
/ did not feel in the least part nervous
when under fire, and the only thought
had was to get nearer to the line OF
4 fire, which was everywhere in front oi
'lus. l suppose it was inherited.
1t is rumOred that we are goine
down into Batangas province to do gar.
lrison duty. That is the southernmost
part Of the island. and right up in the
mountains. We are all hoping that W,
Twill be sent there"
