Manila, in the Spanish-American war .of 1898, which was prepared by the local representative of that paper. Raymond J. Larson, and in which Dr A. D. Caldwell, well known dentist. forinprlv of this citv and now of l Omaha, was the central figure. I The following is the story of the I Dart the First Nebraska played in the capture of the city of Manila: "Dr. Alfred D. Caldwell, dentist, living at Plattsmouth, with offices at Omaha, a veteran of the Spanish- American war, the Philippine insur rection and the world war, possesses an interesting collection of photo- , graphs of the Spanish-American war, .many or them taKen unaer nre. ai ' though now nearly 30 years old, after , their trip back from the tropics, the pictures are remarkably well preserv ed, being without a scratch or wrin kle of any kind. "The pictures were obtained by Sergeant Tate, a member of Cald well's company and were presented by the sergeant to Caldwell. "Anticipating the chance of get ting some good pictures before he left this country, Tate managed to carry a camera with him to the Philippines. Once there it was necessary to send to Japan for plates and then it was essential that no time be lost before the pictures were taken. The hot, sultry climate of the islands played havoc with emulsion on the plates and necessitated their immediate use. Following their discharge from the service, the members of the company have become separated. Tate is thought to be a resident of Greybull, Wyoming, at present. Camp in Peanut Field "Caldwell and Tate enlisted in Company D, First Nebraska, United States volunteers, and were mobiliz ed in Lincoln in the spring of 189S: From there the regiment proceeded to San Francisco and encamped in the sandhills near the Presidio. The J regiment embarked for the Philip pines on June l&, lsss. iney arrived at Cavite during the middle of July, and pitched camp in a peanut field near that city. Two miles away the Filipinos were entrenched in front of the city of Manila, awaiting a favor able opportunity and the necessary reinforcements that would cause the city to be captured. The Nebraska troops, new to the service, new to the country; used their pup-tents for the first time. Soon they, were bear ing their share of the fighting and were rotating with Pennsylvania troops in holding trenches in front of the city. "The Nebraska troops were hold ing the extreme left part of the line, to their left was Manila bay, to their right was the circular line of trenches surrounding the city. Regu lar troops, a heavy coast artillery regiment fighting as infantry were next on the right. The American po sitions were shelled daily by the Spanish with their canon. The Amer icans had little artillery with which to reply. "Many Incidents of the fighting were recalled, one especially that clearly demonstrated the poor opin ion that Spanish officers held of the .American soldiers. The Spanish of- fleers, unacquainted with fighting . qualities of the Americans and thor oughly confident of the ability of their own troops to follow out their orders, planned a surprise attack on the American positions. The Spanish were so confident of the success of their plans that they ordered that a dress parade should be held the fol lowing morning on the parade ground of the American troops. "Needless to say, they did not hold the parade. Although they were all prepared, even to the extent of wear ing their full dress uniforms during the attack, they were repulsed and turned back after advancing within five hundred yards of the American positions. Hang Up White Flag "Meanwhile preparations for the capture of Manila were being com pleted. On August 13, 1898, the regiment advanced in battalion for mation with Company D in the first line of the battalion. Following them came Companies L, E and A. The regiment was under command of Lieutenant Colonel Colton. Swamps and deep creeks' were encountered, rifles had to be held Over heads to keep them dry, a small bugler had to carried across. However D company's elation at being In the lead was too good to be true. When within a thousand yards of the walls, the members of Company L received orders to take the lead and D company was second. It is hard to Imagine whether the men of D company were fighting mad at the regimental commander or at the enemy. The advance continued with the heavy Mauser bullets singing in to the troops, ricocheting off elec tric light poles, and some finding ; their mark. "When the American troops were within two hundred yards of the walls, the Spaniards ceased- firing and hung up the white flag. Caldwell said It looked as big as a table cloth. A conference was held at the gate between Spanish and American offi cers, the Spanish troops laid down their guns and were herded Inside the walled city. "Th Nebraska regiment went on guard In the custom house district.; at the mouth of the Paslg river. The campaign against the Spaniards was virtually at an end. But other trou-i I bles were brewing for the American ( troops. American commanders re fused to consent to a joint occupation of Manila with the Filipinos. The Filipinos were allowed to enter the city only when unarmed. Feeling sprang up among the natives. Kills Native Who Doesn't Halt "The American troops were deploy ed around the city at a distance of about eight miles. All outposts were qrdered to stop and search all Fili pinos' who attempted to pass through the lines. They became harder to manage. Affairs reached a crisis on the night of February 4, 1899. About 8 o'clock a Filipino appeared in front of No. 1 outpost of he First Nebras ka. Private Grayson was on guard. Acting under orders he challenged the native, who failed to halt, where upon Grayson shot him- Within five minutes the American troops encamp ed about Manila were subject to a general attack. Several hundred Americans and several thousand Fili pinos were killed -in the fight that followed. From that time on the Nebraska troops engaged in from 20 to 30 engagements during the insur rection. Through swamps, across rivers, in rice fields and bamboo thickets they fought th4 natives un til the situation was under control. Finally, on July 2. 1899, they left Manila for the United States. Reach ing this country they were soon de mobilized and discharged." Girl Probably Fatally Injured Near ELmwood Auto Crash on the Highway South of That City Between Yellow Way Coach and Sedan. From Tuesday's Daily Margaret, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stod dsrd. of Lincoln, was probably fatal ly injhred last evening and three cccupants of the Yellow Way bus en route from Denver to Kansas City, suffered minor injuries when the sedan in which the Stoddard family was riding collided with the Yellow Way bus on a concrete culvert on the highway south of Elmwood.
