A Letter From Harry Steers.
Camp Santa Mesa , Manila , P. I. Feh
I4tli , 1899. George D. Leach. Frieni
George : I will write you a few lines a
I have nothing else to do just now.
think I wrote in the last letter that I di <
not think we would have any troubl
with the niggers , but I was badly ini
taken , for on Saturday night , Februar
4th , they tried to push back our out-pos
aim one of their lieutenants and two sol
diers were shot as a result. Of cours
that started the ball rolling and in a fev
minutes the call to arms sounded am
nearly all the Nebniskans were going to
ward the out-posts , double time , under
heavy fire from Remington and Mause
riSes. Companies M , K. L and D tool
positions further out than our lines ha <
been and lav there for about half ai
hour when word came that our cam ]
was attacked. Companies M and Iwer
ordered hack , leaving K and D to holi
the position.
Just a short distance from camp is i
house where an Englishman named Me
Leod lives When we got back there w <
stopped to rest and we found two of thi
Utah battery's guns planted and read ;
for action , but they were compelled t (
remain silent until daylight , Sunday
When we had rested we started for ou :
position which ws to be south of cam ]
in a nearly level field that we used as s
drill ground , it is an old rice field am
the place where we took our position hac
several ridges which afforded us som <
protection. We stayed there till abou
midnight , Saturday , and the firing hat
nearly ceased , then \\e came hack intt
camp and with our blankets made oui
beds in the company street , as we di <
not like to go in our tents because the
had the range and every now and thei
a brass bullet or a Mauser woul > ! go scur
rying through them , not stopping foi
trunks or anything else. We had jusl
got settled down nicely when they op
ened up on us by volleys. The company
fell in , each man in his place , hut jusl
as close to- the ground as we could get
and then we marched out south of canif
to our former position I think it was
about one o'clock and ue stayed then
till just after daylight , Sunday morning
all the time under a heavy fire.V
were then ordered to fire a volley or twc
and advance on the bamboo thicket jusl
in front of us where the natives were 5r
hiding. We charged on the thicket and
I think we must have stood there for ten
minutes pouring volley after volley intc
them. They finally went bark out ol
range and we returned to our friendlv
rice ridges because we did not have men
enough to press them We stayed in
this same position till 2 o'clock , Sundav
afternoon , without a bite to eat and
some of us did not liave a drink.
In the charge we lost one man killed
Guy Livingston , a Plattsmouth boy.
Pet haps you knew him He was sent
back from San Fram-isco to help recruit
our regiment and he came on the
ship Arizona with the recruits. He
was heard to say that he knew he would
not see the states again. He was well
liked by the entire company. We had
four men wounded but they are all doing
nicely.
Just after daj-liglit on Sunday morning
the Utah's guns began to talk , and a
very good piece of work the } * did , too.
I don't think thej- missed a shot. All
the time the fight lasted around camp ,
which I think was about sixteen or eigh
teen hours , an American lady stayed in
the gun pit with the Utahs. The boys
said she wouldn't get under cover at all.
I think she must have been a newspaper
correspondent. There must have been
a dozen reporters with us during the
fight.
About 2 o'clock , Sunday afternoou.my
zoinpany came into camp. We did not
liave anything to eat but salmon and
liardtack , which we do not relish very
liighly. About 3 o'clock we went to
Blockhouse No. 7 with about fifty men.
IVe stayed there till Monday morning
ivhen my company came into camp , and
, ve have done cauip duty ever since.
For four days and nights I did not
; et a wink of sleep. Most of the Ne-
jraska boys are out to the Stanolan
vater works , situated about four miles
rom our old cauip. Our firing line is
wenty-seven miles long. What do you
hink of that ?
The last hospital report I got there
vere 59 Americans killed , 245 wounded.
t is reported that the native loss is be-
ween 800 and 1,000. Of course we can't
jet a true report yet. We are looking
or more troops now. We don't expect
o get away for quite awhile.
There is some firing up the Pasig
iver I think it is the Washington
> oys , for they are up that way. I haven't
leard anything of Steve Belles since the
ighting began , but the company that
te is in has not had a man wounded
: ven. Hert Colter is all right , as are all
he rest of the McCook boys. Kinghorn
aid to tell you "Hello. "
Our men have about 30,000 natives
urrounded in a little town called Mala-
lon. They are going to attack them
oon. Our troops have burned nearly
: very native house that they came to.
Ve have fresh meat whenever we want
t. Once in a while our boys bring in a
'oung Calabou or Water Buffalo which
nnkes pretty good eating.
There is a small gun boat stationed in
he Pasig river near cauip. It was cap-
uretl from the Spaniards and cost the
Jnited States 48,000 Mexican dollars to
epair it.
I don't think we will have much more
ighting in the vicinity of our old camp.

S S S. is the There aredozens of remedies recommended forf
, , . Only Scrofula , some of them no doubt being able
afford temporary relief , but S. S. S. is absolutely
Remedy Equal to this the only remedy which completely cures it.
Scrofula is one of the most obstinate , deep-seated
blood diseases , and is beyond the reach of the
Obstinate [ many so-called purifiers and tonics because some
thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. S.
is equal to any blood trouble , and never fails to cure Scrofula , because it
goes down to the seat of the disease , thus permanently eliminating every
trace of the taint. ,
The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon , complicated glandular
swellings have resulted , for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. Jl.E.Thompsonof Milledgeville , Ga. , writes : "A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck ,
which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while , but the physicians vrere un
able to cure me , and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used ,
but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S. , and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken n , few bottles.
Continuing the remedy , I was soon cured permanently ,
and have never had a sign of the disease to return. " Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate , deep-seate
blood diseases. By relying upon it , and not experimenting ; with the vario
so-called tonics , etc. , all sufferers from blood troubles can DO promptly cureo
instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermi f
