VV. || Brown, of Rockville town
ship kindly hands us the following ex
tract fruiii a letter which he recently
Hccivcd from his son in-law, ('apt.
Zollinger, now in the l’lullipii e:
IIOCKVILLK, Neb., May
Kiutokh Noktiiakstkkn: Knowing
that you and all other Loyal Patriot
ic citizens sire interested in the
wcllfare and succes of our volunteers
in the Philippines, and that army,
and all news or communications com
ing direct from the soldier boys is
eagcrlt sought after and appreciated.
I have a son-in-law there, (’apt.. Zell
iuger, of (>>., E, who went from
David City, this state. I take the,
liberty of sending you a fewextruets
from Ids letters. Under dale of
March 2!>, Cupt. Zollinger says: I
have been very buisy since Christ
mas as we did a great ileal of drill
ing in January, anil as Maj. Will
isms of 3rd batsllion has been sick
and it has devolved upon me to com
inapt! his men as well us my own
company . During February we had
experience in battle exercise nearly
every day. My impression of the
battles were, that for noise and smoke
the battle of Saturday night und
Sunday, Fib., 4-5, would compare
favorably with some of the battles of
the civil war. Our losses were com
puritively light, but we finished lots
of the niggers. The volunteers are
doing good service, and I hope the\
will get all the credit due them. The
First Nebraska stands high among
the volunieer of this army and have
rather got the bulge on the others.
] don't think you need to worry any
in tegard to the buttles with the
Philippines; it is n<> doubt more try
ing to yeu at that distance than to us.
Our fellows don’t seem to mind it
much. Co. K lets been very fortunate
as yet, they have uot lost a man, the
regiment has had about forty killed
and wounded. I look fur quite a bat
tle at Malolos, where the Insurgents
have their so-called capital Vou
may rest assured that there will be
ve.y few Popoerats in the First Neb ,
when thei get home. Either on the
1(1 to I problem or against Expan
sion. The boys all hate the lot ks of
silver money, it looks like old junk
tetbem, one can get a whole hat or
haversack full for a piece of gold.
Any kind of U. 8. money is much
sought after here by any and every
one, especially the natives. As for
these Islands we, the soldiers, will
never agree to give them up, hut
must crush the Insurgents and hold
them under some form of good gov
ernment. Tliej began the fight aud
we feel like giving them their fill of
it. Of course we talk much about
coming home, but I have yet to hear
a man say that he wants to do so be
fore they are w hipped. 1 am not as
heav, as 1 was, (J. S. rations do not
tend to fatten one very much. If
the I), S. would furnish more corn

sympathy on the niggers here, they
don’t deserve it, ijuite the opposite.
Such slush as we read here in the
Omaha World Herald ami Butler
County I’ress, about the poor Natives
lighting for liberty, is all rot and the
I editor aught to he tried and convict
ed for treason. The IJ. S. don't
| Want to stop a minute until this Insu
red ion is crushed as dead as was
the great rebellion, and then there
will lie a lasting peace. I am well
again and will take command of
company to day. Truly yours,
Capt. .J. F. /K1.1,1 .NOKB,

MAbOLOS, I*. I. April l, 1801.
Dear Father and Mother I
again take this opportunity to write
you to let you know that I an: well
and trust »ou are all the same. We
are camped near Malolos, the I'hil
ippino capital which we captured a
few days ago. We had a pretty
hard fight for » week and lost a lot
of men We have l>«en resting for
a few days, but can’t say bow long
it will be until we will bo atitugain.
The niggers have been keeping them
selves pretty scarce since we captur
ed their capital, but we expect to
hear from them before long. I ex
pect you have read all about the light
ing in the papers so I will not try
to discribe it to you. Our company
lias lost one man in this last fighting
and had three wounded There has
I
been a great many killed in our regi
ment as we have been on the firing
line all the time and the boys are
getting pretty well worn out. We
have drove the niggers every time
we met them. We are now about
d() miles from Manila, and we had to
fight our way clean through. Our
company has been in the thickest of
the fighting ami I am glad to say
that I have been right
with them all the way. It is very
diiticult for me to write now, this
paper was given to me, we can’t
keep anything out here. I have got
lo blanket nor any thing else to sleep
on so I have to sleep on the bare
ground without anything over me.
some times I succeed in rustling a
little bay, but if I fail to get it I
must sleep without it. It is so hot
here in day time that we can’t carry
any thing with us when we go on a
march. Some of the boys started
with their blanket but they threw
them away the first fight we got into.
So I guess I will have to close for
this time. Your son,
Simpson Criss, jr.
