urging greater promptness, which
was unheeded by the contractors.
Again and again they were reported

Two miles aud half from the

trenehed in the woods. Major Lo-
gan's battalion had rushed forward
and for few minutes the fight was
stubborn and hot. Then the in
surgents began to fall back.
Five of the Americans lay dead
on the road in front of the trenches
which the insurgents had hastily
thrown across it. Major Logan
was dying in the little nipa shack
which was used as a field hospital.
The wave of battle was receding,

the hospital.
A white flag bearing the Red
Cross signal was stuck up in the
yard where the dead and wounded
Americana lay. A iocular insur-
gent shot the bamboo staff square
ly in two.
No troops had been left as hos
pital guard and Major Lieberman
stalked among bis wounded men
with revolver in one hand and a
first aid package in the other.
AS the soragglers, who had fallen
out of the column from exhaustion
or because they had stuck fas: in
the mud, came up along the road
Major Lieberman seized them. He
impressed them into service in a

that bunch of bamboo and zee if
you can get that sharpshooter who
is trying to kill these wounded men.

promoted.
Every man who could stand on his
feet at all was put on the firing line,
