BATTLE OF
BALANTANG.
Conspicuous Gallantry of Volun-
teers on the Firing Line.
By LIEUT.. G. D. RICE.

In the Fall of 1899 one of the volun-
in the United States disembarked at a
point in the Philippines only Il mile from
the Insurgents army.
The latter had held its position in the
trenches for several months, during which
time every possible means had been taken
by the rebels to strengthen their position.
The entire front of their lines was pro-
tectcd by a series of barricades, while the
fanks were protected by trenches which
extended outward for half mile in the
well-known Filipino Zigzag fashion, so as
to enable the occupants to retreat when
the Americans pushed them too hard.
All trenches of the rebel army seem to
be built with the idea of affording an easy
retreat.
1t was generally supposed that the In
surgents possessed an impregnable posi-
ton, and many an expedition had been
made around the flanks and the front of
the works by squads of daring men who
were frequently fired upon by the outposts
of the enemy, sometimes with fatal ef-
fects.
About three weeks after the landing
of the volunteer regiment an attack upon
the rebel trenches was planned. There
were portions OF two regular regiments
available, also some rapid-fire guns, and
all of these were called into service for
the grand assault upon the fortifcation.
The night before the attack the officers
of the volunteer regiment announced to
the men their intention to move at mid
night, and when the time arrived every
man was ready for the fray. Men just

near enough to use the b0lo. A number
of men were boloed in this way. 1t OF

they would shoot him down. The writer

This was not peculiar to the volunteers.
After the battle one of the Regulars told

think it his special duty to load and fire

the soldiers desire to make as much of a
fire as possible, and the magazine fire is
used, usually with great effect, for some

THE FINAL CHARGE.
In the final charge on the lines of the
rebel army the Volunteer regiments and
the Regular regiments were about evenly
distributed and kept well abreast of each

After the charge began nothing could
stop it. The elaborate system of pitfalls
and deadly trenches erected so carefully
by the lnsurgent engineers were leaped
by our men, and no one was stopped by
them.
On we pushed, right up to the rebel
trenches, and this was too much for them,
for they broke and ran. Our men were
too tired to pursue, and the broken rem
nants Of the rebel army were sent flying
to the hills. We secured their feld-pieces
and many Of their rifles and much am
munition, and took many prisoners.
After the fight, which lasted about two
hours, Volunteer and Regular regiments
marched back to Iloilo through Jaro side

pieces of crude artillery they had kept

had always supposed that officers and
non commissioned officers in charge of
companies, platoons or squads would have
trouble in keeping the men up on line
and from falling back. In this battle,
the first in which the regiment was ever
engaged, the officers appeared to have
more trouble in holding the men back than
they had in pressing them forward. So
eager were some of the men to get close
to the enemy that in several cases indi-
vidual soldiers ran into clumps of cane, in
which were concealed small part es of the
native army, evidently posted before it
was supposed the attack would be made.

four guns it disputed the ground foot by

The division of Gen. Williams, forming
one-half of Banks's command, at the
same time moved off toward Battletown,

This movement led jackson to suppose
that nearly the whole army of Banks was
