surgents, never amount to much.
Last Friday we with one gun were
ordered with one battalion Of the Bird
infantry. which is also doing garrison
duty here, on an expedition to cap
ture San Migil, an Insurgents town
about fourteen miles up the river
from here. But when about ter
miles away from here at Ildefonso
we encountered a force of about six
hundred Insurgents strongly en-
trenched in a splendid position on a
very long and steep hill. Their out
posts fred a few shots from their
position and then ~retreated to the
trenches, and as we rose on a hill
about fifteen hundred yards on this
side of their position, We were greet
ed with a shower of bullets. We
had no protection whatever, but We
brought our gun into action as quickly
as possible, and soon We were making
the dust and dirt fly on their hill.
The infantry at once began adVanc'
ing, but at the bottom of the hill
upon which we had our gun planted,
was a rice field about twelve hun
dred yards wide and they could
make but slow progress in mud and
water up to their waists.
They were pouring volley after
vtlley into the negroes trenches, but
the faithful old "Krag failed to make
an impression on their trenches.
Owing to the s]carceness of infantry
men and the splendid position cccu-
pied by the Insurgents: it soon be-
came evident that we would have to
she'll them out of their position, and
it did not take long to give the ccm
mand to ''rapid fire" at "thirteen
hundred yards" to action and for
about an hour We sbelled their
trenches until there were no trenches
left and the negroes "vamosed." The
fight lasted about two and a half
hours and most of the time Mauser
and Remington bullets were coming
pretty close. Oar loss was one
Lieutenant killed; two privates wound
ed and two of our artillery mules
killed. Several bullets struck the
gun while we were firing and cur
mules were right by US, but not a
mar of the artillery was hit. We
took their position and drove them
away back, but as We did not have
enough men to spare and escort the
ambulance back to Balinag we had to
abandon the capture Of San Migil
and return to Bslinag with the
wounded and the body of Lieuten-
ant Keys, whose loss is mourned by
all who knew him. He was an ex-
cellent officer and a brave and fear
less soldier, but such is the fortune
of war and often the bravest and the
best have to pay the penalty of death
at the hands of a half civilized and
rebellious people.
With best wishes to yourself and
all of my old fellow citizens Of Lex
ington, I will close. I will write
mor when better opportunities pre-.
sent themselves. Very respectfully.

Provo Expedition Comes to an End Be

NOGALES, Ariz., 1.-THE Mormon
expedition, composed of eight profess
soIs and sixteen students, under the
leadership OF Professor Benjamin ChuH
OF the brigham Dung Academy in
Provo. Utah, came 10 a sudden and
Unexpected end here yesterday, as
result of instructions from the faculty
in Utah. The expedition was organized
four months ago at Provo, Utah, at the
expense OF the Brigham Young Col
lego, ana has since been travelling
horseback, en- route TO Central and
South America on Il three years eX-
plOradon trip. The object OF this unique
exp edition is to explore the country and
its resources and to trace the lines of
the last survivors of the neophytes back
to Central and South America, thus
giving to the world another proof that
the Book of Mormon is what the lat
ter day saints claim it to be, viz: a
true history of the people who inhabit
ed this continent thousands of years
ago. The expedition had just entered
Mexico, where their labors commence,
when the faculty OF the college in Utah
decided to recall the students on ac-
count of the enormous expense they
We're piling up. The professors, eight in
number, will continue on south, but
the students from today will have to
shift for themselves at their own eX-
penSe.
