THE FIGHTING AS TOLD BY THE BOYS Interesting Letters Eroni Members of Company M. .KKOM JOHN UENJAMIN. Manila , Philippine Island" , Campi ' Santa Mui-a , Fob. 10 , 18UO. Dear folks at home ; 1 have n little tune now and will try and give you a litllu dotjoription of our light , It uomtnunccd on Saturday uigh . Ono ot uur outposts nliot an insurgent lieutenant and two nol- diers the first crack out of tlio box. llo came very ntjar shooting our co'onol and we had ordern to got him if any body. That night he came up to our line * and our sou- try halted h : n but IIH did not atop as soon aa llunot r thought he ought to , so ho pul a bnllol through h'm ho.irl Two more soldiers jumped out and they got the name dose , and BO it started. Wo all getup up and fell in as soon as the first shots wore fired , and by the time they began tiring on the oamp we were out and goiny to our position. If wo had been just a little Blower we might have lost lots of men , for our oamp was just riddled with bullo'.fl. Wo wout double quick about half a mile to our position and just got placed when wo were ordered back to protect the south wnht aide ot the camp , Back we went , and through a cross lire , but as luck and poor markHiainship would have it , w did not uot hurt Wo took our position and lay down BO close to the ground that you could run a lawn mowt-r over us ani not hit ono O'jroiders wore to Nt'ind.on the defense , HO wo iv ul J do nothing but lay low ami take their lire. Wo were right out in an open field and had to hug the ground pretty close to keep from being hit. They were 8'jooting unusually low for some reason or other. Along towards morning " Hugh Kinoyer was s'rn k with a a nianBtr bullet in the loft lung L ' aboutiven with the shoulder and ( came out near the small of the | . " - back. The doctor said at first that v- * he could not live , , but he is much better now and the doctor thinks ho will pull through all right Thot-u mauscr bullets are very email and do not make 3 very large ll hole. II that had been a spring- i , field ho would not have lived half an hour. They make a terrible hole , but ono not hill HO dangi rous as those brat-s bills the Insurgents use. Guy Livingstouo was shot in the charge and only lived a few hours llo was shot above the left eye and H took away part of hit ! skull. Hie ) Hraius ran out on the ground and I do not see how ho lived as lorg as he did. Ho was unconscious all the time. Shipp- ard and Kerr were the next ihot by a rnatieer bullet both at the same time and the same bullet' Sheppard - ard was shot through the calf of the left leg , but did not hit the bone. Kerr was shot twice , t > nco JUKI between the legs then through ileehy part below the hips. Flan- nagan was scratched on the wrist , but not enough to cripple him. We stayed there until after dinner then went to i-ainp. Wo wore under more or IOHM tiio 'ill the tinu ? and it is a wom't'r ' we c'iiiit > out an | lucky as wo did. I think Co. M j is a very lucky company. While \ wo were fighting on ono side of the J oamp the boys on the other side , aided by two guns of the Utah battery - tory , took two block houses nnd the bridge. They met a pretty heavy nro and a go d many .v.ero killed > and wouiidvd. They killed a lot of filipinos mid wounded a lot more that got a way. The ground is just strewed with them 1 believe if father could see our battle field ho would say it loo. < ed like wo had had a pretty hard light. ( Jolonol Htotsenberg led the charge on the bridge and a'ao rn the powder magazine , ami the boys are all proud of their colonel now. llo got right in Ihe center of the firing line and told them to guide on him , and you hot thedid. . In the after noon we took the rubcrvoir and had to run the "niggera" out of there again. Co M. was then ordered to inup guard , much to the regret of the whole company , for we wanted to be in the charge on the pumping station next day , but the colonel Haid to mo ono had to Play , and there was just ad much honor in guarding camp as going to the pumping station. Wo hid to Htay any way so wo did not kick much. It was a pretty dangeroun place for ono company to ny to hold it they tried to attack it Iroin HOIIIU other direction. They would have h.id to kill in all , for I don't think out ofliferB and men would eVer run , and to be oap'urtd was worse than death. ' 1 he mail has just come bo I will stop and read the news , as have two letters from vou and three1 packagis of papeis Ono letter | was dated Dec , 24ih and the other one Jau , 2. I got the clippings you sent mo in the letter about ns coming homo so soon , You have a lot of rumors tlioro , I guess , just asu do here. No , wo are not started yet , and I don't think we will for a good long time now , but I don't think this scrap will detain us any , The day we were to take the water works 1 ran away aud joined company C and wont to the front. They put company C out upon the first advance party , and wo hadn't gone very far before they opened firs on us pretty lively , and we had to lie down aud wail for the onfry to come up and tear down tin ir fort. They wore across a deep ri- vine , and we would have to charge down a hill and than up the other side , When the battery opened up we started with a yell and you ought to have soon those niggers break their necks getting out of there. We only killed ono there , for by the time wo got to the top of the hill they wore gone. Everything - thing was quiet thou for a mile , when all of a sudden we ran into them again , and this time a larger fo'co. Wo did no' ' use the battery this time , for wo were on a level with them We fixed baonets and started , and I guess they thought there wan no u e in trying to fetop in , so they ran. Wo fought them for about three miles , all the way to the pumping station , and there they tried to stop us again , but of no use ; we wore not to be stopped. The last I saw of them they wore going to the mountains ; IH fast as their logs could carry them. We have had a few light attacks since , but no one hutt. Now , don't think Nebraska was the only regiment that had a fijhl , for every regiment around the city was shooting about as fast , IH th y knew how , and everyone did their luty as well as could have been done. I will send you a paper ; it does not give a correct account of our dead and wounded , and I do not know about the other regiments \Vo have about seven dead and twenty wounded. We have not received our boxes ) ot ; I don't know what the trouble is. Wo on ly have two men on Hick list in our company , and the wounded are getting ting along nicely ; never felt butter in my life I am a little sU-opy , as I have not had any sleep frr about a week. The Philippines in town h ivo to walk prutty straight an 1 if they look cross eyed they get a hole shot through thorn on tl e wpot. They deserve more punish ment than they gel for the way they murder our boys when tht-y got a chance. It is rumored around horp that Aguinaldo sent a message to Oti" saying it was all a mistake ; he did not want to fight , and wanted lo compromise1. Otis went him back this message : "Go to h , you slarted it , I will finish it. " It sounds just like him and I hope it is so All the Spanish people and other nations are very much sur prised at the way wo whipped them Tlmy can't understand it at all. Tiny are all very glnd , .uitl nothing in too good for an Ameri nan eoldior. Well , dinner is nearly ready , so good bye. From your loving son aud brother , JOHN. P. S. We have two roast pigs for dinner and some chickens ; we have teen out foraging. TIIOM L1KUT. OSItOBN. Camp Santa Mesa , j Fob 8th , 1899. j Dear folks at home : I will write you a few lines to let you know I am still alive. Of course you have heard of the battle we bad with the natives. We bad a hard scrap , ladling from 7:80 : o'oloqk Saturday night until about noon Sunday , without stopping at all. It was a continuous tire all the timo. They attacked us when wo were not look ing for it. but we drove them ulear back in the inountamti Wo hav just massacred them , and their dead are lying in piles of forty and lift } . We lost quiio a few men , but it is a wonder to me that thuro was not more Americans killed. Company M. was right in thci worst of the light. We had one man killed ; his name was Guy Livingstone , and he lived at IMallsmoulh. Hugh Ken- oyer was shot through the left I'H-iHt ' , and we thought for a while lh.it ho would not live , but I saw one of the nurses list night , aud he is getting bettor. We also had 01 e man phot through the calf of the lug and another ono through the thigh , miking the casualties in Co. M. one man killed and three wound ed. I will not attempt to describe the bittU' to 3ou an I havu not the time , and you can HOC by the papers I co'id what that wan. The bullets struck nil around me , and they eveu BO close aa to light between my Irgs while lying on the ground. I fool very tony for Hugh Kcnoy or'n mother , as I know nhc will ncaily die of grief ; console her as much ai poetnblo. 1 Mil sure ho will recover , all notion ho has a very serious wound. I think the worst of the long expected fight with the FilippinciB is over now , for we just mowed thim down like hay all around the oily. * I wish father could have been here and heaid the pretty volley firing of Company M. Toll Mr. Kennedy lha' Harvey is all right and not to worry about him. I just write these few lines before iho mail loaves to let you know I am all right , i have not had my thocH and clothe * off for thrco days and nights , and not much Bletp. Frtm WILL. February 12th. I wrote you a few lines the other day to let you know that I came out of the tight all right , BO will write n little more today. The fight commenced on Saturday uiuht , Fob 4th , and it was a continual round of fiiro for nineteen hours , never Blacking up. The fight started at blockhouse No. 2 of the Nebraska outpost. The natives tried to crowd on us and the sentry fired on them. No sooner had 1 e fired when all around ua was a con tinual tiro. Wo fought hard all night and until about eight o'clock in the morning , when wo commune ed to drive thorn back. Wo drove them back to the water works whore they have their headquarters ; ao the Nebraska boy < , all worn out and hungry , came back to camp for dinner ; and immediately thereat tor the Colorado , Tennessee and Ne braska regiments and Utah battery made an attack ou the water work * and oapturod it in about one hour. Our company was not in that , at we were loft to guard the camp , and are still hero , while the rest of thu regiment is guarding the water works. * Companion M. and L. made a charge ou the natives right out on the level on onr drill ground and it was there that we lost our men. Hugh Kenoyor was shot just below the loft collar bone , aud the hullat came out at the point of the 10th rib , so you see ho had a very close call. Wo all thought he would die , but I Mas down to the hospital yesterday and ho was sit * tiui ; up , and is feeling good and wijl got along all riglu. If you will go to Lieut. Orr ho can proba bly explain to you the position of our camp and where the attack was made from the information he will get. * Compa y M , buried the dead. It was a disagreeable job ; but still rather a ploasanc ono , for they killed six out of the regiment , whoso lives are worth inora than the whole Philippine islands * WILL. TL S.
