The Omaha World-Herald of Sun
day had a very Interesting sketch of
the campaign against the city of
. 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."

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.
The Yellow Way bus was coming
east from Lincoln while the Stod
dard family were returning home
both the sedan and the large coach
driving on the concrete culvert at
the same time, the sedan striking the
larger car and turning over.
The injured girl was hurried on
to the hospital in Lincoln where her
injuries are being cared for and her
condition is quite serious as she is
suffering from a fracture of the skull.
The three men injured in the bus
were:
John Page, Denver, right shoulder
dislocated. . .
John Scott, Kp'ekuk, Iowa, scalp
wound and facial lacerations.
