EDITOU RBI > UULIOAN : Our ad-
vane * from Mololos happened sooner
than expected. Sunday morning
April the twonty-Boooud a scouting
party under tha command of Major
Bell of the Engineer corps , started
out to reeonuoiter beyond our north.
eru out post. They had only pro
ceeded to Quinga , a town two days
before found deserted , when they
ware surrounded by insurgents and
had to literally out their way leaving
ing one mau killed upon the field
and five wounded of tha party of
thirty. One battalion of Nebraska
was immediately ordered to Quinga
and upon arriving found that the
insurgents wore heavily entrenched.
Reinforcements ware sent for and
our battalion wan ordered forward.
We did not expect anything more
than skirmish , but started as well
supplied as if for a thirty days
campaign. Upon the road out we
were informed that our colonel bad
been killed , shot through the heart.
Wo did not believe the report for
we were well aware that ho was at
that moment in Manila or proceed
ing on hU way out to the regiment.
Rested upon the road , and soon re
ceived orders to go by right flank
as skirmishers and advance one
ridge beyond the battalion then on
firing line. As we loft the shadow
of trees we were greeted by volleys
and Lieutenant Wadsworth , ol
Company H , was wounded. We
advanced to ridge in rear of firing
line , the fire being to brisk to ad
vance further. Here the boya suf
fered terribly the sun boiling on our
backs , no wind stiriug , many fainted
Litter-bearoru were shot at removing
the disabled. Sergeant Stort ;
killed while attending to Lteutenan
Wadswortb , and one chinamen , a
litter-beam killed. At this momon
our d ar colonel appeared upon the
field and Nebraska was ready an <
anxioue. A yell from the men am
Col. btotzenburg ordered the ad
'vance. With a total of less than
two hundred men wo advanced am
drove the insurgents from their en
trenchments and they fled across
the Rio Bag Bag. Wo loat forty
killed and wounded. Col. Stetson
burg was killed junt about on
hundred yards before reaching on
trencbtnents and had just told Com
pany M to keep on going. Sorgt
. .Horace Kennedy had juat reoeiv d
his a moment "before. The .Col
was killed with Kennedy's gun in
one hand and bta revolver in th
other. Iowa received its first bap
tiim ot fire upon our right , but die
fgftke any advance. Nebraska
owa and Utah artillery were the
only troops upon the line , we wore
Hoou stationed in Quinga , Nebraska
one hundred and ten men strong
akiug the outpost work for the
ight. It was decided that the ad-
anoo should become general and
ur old friends the South Dakota
amo out to help us. Nebraska and
louth Dakota are sisters and wo ad.
rniro each other very much. All
night sharpshooters peeked away at
each other and some fuw bamboo
hacks were fited by Fillipiuos
neaking around the town. Mon-
lay morning Utah artillery opponed
upon underbrush on the Bag Bag
tvor ana drove the Fillipinos be-
rend another bond. The river at
bis point is in the shape of a horseshoe
shoo , Lieut. Oriborn , under fire of
artillery crossed his company and
established position upon other aide.
Troops and artillery quickly crossed
and wo skirmished across the horse
shoo. Suddenly wo were ordered
by the right flank and beneath the
denizens of the forest changed our
entire front , thus flanking the
heathen's trenches. He.ewe evened
matters and the events ot the day
before , by killing many insurgents
and oaptunngjmuoh ammunition and
guns. The insurgents had their
own bamboo fences to make a "get
away" over and hope they enjoyed
the operation. Pressed forward and
ate dinner at Putarohiauts or some
thing like that. As usual the place
was deserted or at least we thought
so uutil ordered to get on the line
and move forward. At this moment
as if dropped from theoky appeared
an apparition in an old plug hat ,
white shirt hanging out and a bag
and long stick under one arm and
like the pied piper of Hauilin with
his stick between his lega this poor
blind Fillipino wretchedly played
us out of town. We passed en
trenchment after entrenchment , all
built the wrong direction and work
thrown to the winds. Towards
evening a few of the bold ones at
tempted a stand , but couldn't stand
the pressure and vamoosed. Tired
and weary Company M. was station
ed along river entrenchments , and
during the evening all bathed m
the Bag Bag and slept behind the
entrenchments built to resist your
Uncle Sammy. The trenches are
perfectly built and speak creditably
of I'illipino skill. We notioothougb ,
that they all have a place to make a
"got away. " Mail also was received
bore. It biightoned ua up consider
ably.
Tuesday morning reveille. At
four o'clock we arise and prepare
to advance upon Galumph , five miles
distant. General MoArthur and
General Wheaton command Kansas
and Montana. The Third and thu
Sixth artlllory will advance from
MololoH directly up the railroad
track , and net in conjunction with
our command It in evident that
during thu night the Filipinos have
withdrawn to Calumpit , and will
make their stand there. At cloven
o'clock wo are in communication
with General Wheaton , and the ad
vance upon Calutnpit is started.
The Fillipinos have thy bomb proof
intrenclunontH , and deep rivers on
all sidoH , but the boyb advance to
thu river and pour a deadly ( iru into
I ho port holcn. The artillery and
rapid fire guns are playing polkas
and galops , and the siege gun ,
moiintod upon the train , plays an
excellent bass accompaniment. Our
battalion moves forward under the
personal direction of General Halo ,
and fords the rivur. The big men
have to loir. ! a helping hand to the
little follows. All manage to cross ,
and the Fillipinos retreat , leaving
dead strewn upon their trail. Wo
have flanked their introuohuients
Wo move forward , and Company
M is credited in General Halo's of
ficial report with having killed forty
five out of fifty in onoiutrunuhmenl.
Caluuipit is a charnel house , trees
o'U down , buildings wrecked , uttd
dead lying everywhere , all from thu
( iru of the Americans. The Filli
pines startle UH with a obeli from a
brass blunder buss. Wo stare at
oaoh other , and General Hilo says
it is about time for us to return.
The engineer can construct a tcm
porary span in the railroail bridge ,
and troops take quarters in Calum-
pit. The Fillipinos have crossed
the river again , and are behind bet
tor intronoIimontH than over. Ne
braska , for once in its history , is
taken off the firing line , and Kansas ,
a fine regiment , and the Mont an as
thrown forward. Two days later
Col. Funston , of Kansas , and a few
mon cross under a terrible fire from
our troops , and the already scared
Fillipinos run away. The insurgent
ofllcors try to retake position , and
hammer the soldiers , but it is no go.
Our advance upon San Fernando
was easyand the heathen "proutred , "
ran , after a few volleys. Nobrpska
is now nursing bad foot , and cussing
because they won't let us go homo.
The regulars are staying in Manila ,
guarding General Otis , and wearing
white collars. W. S. FUOK.

The uofir approach of the arrival

rooptiou shortuly after their return
homo. To this end a mooting of
the citizens was called on lust Sat *
urday evening which waa largely
attended and at which an executive
committee was appointed , such
committee to have full charge and
executive control of the reception.
To make this demonstration the
grand SUOOOHBS which the occasion
merits , it is necessary to have not
only the enthusiastic assistance , but
the financial support as well of our
oitizonH aud it id expected that a
committee on finance will wait upon
our people early next week to soliot
cabs subscriptions. It is therefore
I oped uud expected that the people
of Broken Bow and vioinity will
donate liberally to this enterprise
that the reception may bo the grand
a i * t n a a that it should bo. The con.
tral Nebraska Veteran Association
has boon invited to hold their
reunion at the time of this re
ception , aud in that event the ex
penses of the reopotiou aud the
roumion is ostamatod at not less
limn $000.00. Before completing
the arrangements for the reunion
to bo hold in connection with this
