Captain Taylor says that ho thinks

utes to oxoeuto these commands to
gether with tho more belligerent ones
Full speed aheail Ilie starboard
battery will engage and Set your
sights for 1010 yards
All hands rushed below or In fact
threw themselves down lie ladder to
their posts Bruised and bleeding
their captain says they staggered o
the guns reaching there naked to the
waist When Captain Taylor ordered
the ball opened saying I nds our
chance has come at last the men re
sponded with a yell that was savage
In lis suppressed desire lo got nt the
Spaniards Whim the Teresa and Viz
caya came mil from under old Morro
it seemed to the watchers on the In
diana that I hoy wore heading oast and
the tlrsl business In hand would be
ramming or taking a blow The 111
inch guns were loaded ready to crush
at short range any Spanish ship at
tempting to break through the line
past the Indiana
Suddenly the enemy turned west
ward keening up a brisk cannonade
upon the Indiana Hut he shells pass
ed ovor The Indiana had a perfect
range upon Morro and as the Spanish
ships almost louched the point when
they emerged from lie eiKraueo there
was no time lost in pouring effective
shots lulo the enemy with Intense
rapidity Nearly all of the 1871
projectiles tired from her guns that
day wore expended In the llrst 10 min
utes of the light
For a short time the Indiana was
under lire from tho Mono and Socapa
batteries but when Captain Taylor
saw that the Spanish torpedo boats
were not to bo feared and the enemy
getting away to the wost ward he turn
ed his helm and ran for the const re
doubling his fire upon Cervcras ships
The Indiana was squarely upon the
llanlt of the Spanish licet One of her
shells the heaviest of them struck the
Teresa and exploded against her An
other struck the Vlcaya and she Im
mediately burst lulo Humes When the
Oquondo ami Colon came within
range both treated the Indiana to
heavy broadsides In return the In
diana struck the Oquondo several
times and the Colon also felt the
weight of one of her heavy projectiles
About the same time the torpedo boat
destroyer Furor go in he way of a
li Inch shell from tho Uoosler battle
ship which set her in Haines and ex
ploded her boiler
Captain Taylor watched the fight ot
the plucky Clouccstcr with the do
stroyers and died to signal the gal
lant Walnwright to his advantage Hut
tho smoke obscured tho signals also
endangering the CJIoiicester In the tiro
of the ludhna and Iowa which were
together at that stage of tho llghl
Turning o he main enemy Captain
Taylor saw the Colon speeding rapidly
away with one of his shots in her
Some distance behind the Vizcaya lin
gered with the marks of the Indianas
batteries upon her Last In the Span
ish line at this time wore the Teresa
nml Oquondo ami upon those the In
dianas socoudary battery was trained
with now and thou a shot to help tho
Gloucester against the Flutou and
Furor
Suddenly the Teresa turned o the
beach with lire pouring up through
her hatches When she struck her col
ors the men at the upper batteries of
the Indiana set up n shout of exulta
tion which had scarcely died away be
fore It was called to life again by the
swift collapse of tho Oquondo This
My orders from I ho division com
Marnier woio nol to go beyond Saiitn

First California far out on tho right
Hank chipioil the Insurgent reserves
all the way lo l uiiilaliipc church
nearl thiec miles out his gallant Cal
Iforulaiis dashing on their Hues when
ce they attempted to make a stand
Oddly enough after wo had swept
Into Simla Ana and rounded up all the
main body of the Insurgents shells ac
tually began bursting In lie plaza In
fiotil of Hie beautiful church under
whose walls two of tho California
oiup lidos weri compelled to huddle
for sheller
Ah stated at the opening of his arti
cle every icglmeiit had lis particu
lar experience ami although countless
Hlorlos have been given of he out
bieak of the Insurrection tho narrative
of Corporal Itradley of Company IC
First California Is especially Interest
ing The writer says thai during I ho
whole of lauuary Hie city was on tho
ergo of panic and the slightest ex
citement led to a commotion which In
Itself almost precipitated trouble
Then Just at tho close of lanuary
quiet reigned but It was tho ominous
quiet which precedes the storm
The next development was tho ap
pea ra nee of tho Filipino proclamations
which Corporal Irnilloy says wore nt
times treasonable and again ridicu
lous One ho declares purported
to emanate from an Fngllsli soldier
but Its execrable Kugllsh betrayed Its
origin It called upon all tho American
soldiers lo lire Into tho air In case of
an attack upon our linos and to sur
render lo the attacking party
From not a few reliable sources we
learned that Spanish soldiers on parole
had Joined the Insurgents ami tho
number of dead soldiers among the
fallen proved the truth of those state
ments I oi mouths immense quanti
ties of provisions were sent up the
river to the natives From our out
posts beyond which we could not go
without a pass from Agulualdo wo
could look Into the native territory
see the marching regiments and hear
their bugles ami drums For a mouth
our entire army was held In quarlers
ready at a moments notice to bo turn
ed loose lu case of allude So Intense
was the strain that once when n false
alarm was sounded the whole city was
In a ferment of excitement lu a few
minutes Nothing less than riot and
slaughter was looked for by the entire
populace
At length we came to look upon all
signs of war with complacence Hut on
the llh of February the city was star
tled by tho sound of Infantry lire Tho
outbreak had come at last The first tir
ing was In front of the Nebraska regi
ment but soon extended along the Hue
ami continued until about 11 p m
when It ceased for about two hours
only to bo resumed by the natives
along tho same line from time to time
About 4M on Sunday morning tho
Itah battery along the Montana front
poured shells Into he churches houses
and trenches occupied by the enemy
Personally 1 Joined the Utah battery
The corporal tells how tho battery
kept abreast of the advancing infan
try firing shrapnel Into the native
quarters lu the charge the battery
became separated from the California
regiment but during a lull In the ar
tillery firing Itradley hurried back to
his company For more than a mile
ho says along the Pace and Santa
Ana road It was a panorama of death
and desolation On lie knoll In the
bend of the Pasig where the natives
found their retreat cut off they made
a desperate stand lu he trenches An
open st retch of paddy fields with mud
knee deep and the Santa Ann creek
with water up to the waists separated
the Americans from this stronghold
With ii rush and a shout the Wash
ington California and Idaho boys
plunged in and either killed wounded
took captive or drove Into the Paslg
every native found on that little Isle
of tho river Tho dead lay four deep
and wore burled in the trenches In
which they fell the following day Wo
captured every one of their strong
holds and drove them farther back as
hey steadily advanced Tho trenches
and breastworks of tho Insurgents

Now tiriguillur ueucrnl
availed them Hide against the concert
ed onslaught of tho American troops
The Filipinos build the best of
breastworks but lack bravery nnd de
termination to hold them They are
treacherous and cruel and can fight In
ambush but aro tho worst cowards lu
j the open Their poor marksmanship
j has saved thousands of the lives of our
men The gallant conduct of the Call-
fornlans does not detract from the
valor of other American troops lu tho
field All have done their utmost and
I have proved the valor of American
soldiers beyond dispute though the
California regiment Is tho pride of the
army in tho Philippines
The First California left Manila July
20 ou the transport Sherman with -18
officers and l50 men Including those

under date of July ll describes Lieu
tenant Ara I j Hooves encounter with
a bolotnau as follows
Lieutenant Ara 1 Hooves lies lu the
hospital now ami his wife sits bcsldu
him Ills foot Is done up lu bandages
one hand Is bandaged also and ho has
ii strip of adhesive plaster on his
face The lieutenant Is n victim of the
bolomau and Is about tho first one
who has lived to tell the tale And ho
can best loll that tale
Our company of the Seventeenth
Infantry has tho hardest station there
is at Sau Iortiaudo he said to mo
Wo have shooting yhoro almost every
night Not firing tobe replied to but
enough to keep us sure of the fact
that the Insurgents are hero and that
hoy would conio at us If they wore
not watched like a hawk So you see
we have to bo very careful about the
disposition of our outposts and we
have to know that all Is well
I suppose every man In charge of
a company mine Is 1 company visits
his outposts every night I have boon
lu charge of that company for Mime
time and I assure you there never has
a night passed that 1 have not been
fully Informed by observation as to
the situation This thing happened

raining too The walking was not
good es you may be sure with all tho
rain nnd I was plckng my way nlouff
as best I could All at once 1 saw a
Hhndowy form before me There
wasnt any parleying either I could
sec that It was a man and felt rather
than saw that ho was a bolomau
Mrs Hooves hero said something
and the lieutenant smiled You see
he said turning on his pillow so that
he could look nt me without effort
she Is getting o be a regular fire
enter but I dont believe she Is half
as bloodthirsty as she talks 1 do
think 1 hit tho fellow but there Is no
way to prove It
Well I was on tho defensive In nn
distant but did not have time to draw
my revolver before ho made n lunge
at mo and wns within arms length
I believed that he had a knife lu ouo
hand I was sure ho hnd a revolver
for he fired point blank nt me nnd I
dont see why ho did not get mo I
felt the charge pass my face Hut
they say that a miss Is as good ns a
mile At any rate things were hap
pening nt such a pace that I didnt
think much about It then What I did
realize was that I must got hold of
his hands and quick too He cut mo
a little on the face the lieutenant
jerked his thumb toward the plaster
on his cheek and then 1 caught his
arm lie struck mo on the wrist wh
the hand which held the revolver and
with my loft hand 1 caught his rlglu
1 wns holding his hands but he had
tho revolver and knife I wns holding
his knife above my head with tho re
volver hand down and trying to throw
him over backward
Wo were whirling around and
around like madmen at a waltz when
ho bogau to fire He was trying to hit
mo In the stomach and It would have
been all day with me If he had but I
kept hlj hand where he would have to
shoot toward the ground I felt n
bullet go into my foot and then felt
anotbfr strike almost In tho snim
place That was three shots from his
levolver counting the one he fired at
nio when we first came together I
wns counting these shots and when
he had spent two more one of which
cut through my boot leg nnd nipped my
shin I wns protty sure that h could
not shoot again
Then It was hat ho out mo on the
hand lie could not slnb and so he
worked the blade of the knlTo across
the back of my wrist 1 can assure
you that It was anything but pleasant
hat little performance and presently
I thought he would cut himself loose
Then I began to force tho lighting 1
could not stand on my wounded foot
but I could use the knee 1 proceeded
o punch him In the stomach with It
and protty soon I felt him falling
away from me I gave him n push
and let go his hands both at once
and ho was bowled over Into a bunch
or banana plants 1 pulled my revolver
as quick as I could and began to lire
Hut my aim was not good for as soon
as the fellow was thrown and I at
tempted to stand on my foot I fell
Just about that time one of tho
outposts came running up He had
heard the firing and was coining to
my rescue Hut he enmo too late Ho
bald ho was but a inlnuto on tho way
but he was more than that It seemed
to me that we were fighting for ten
minutes Perhaps It was not as long
as that but It seemed an intormluable
time Oh he got away Wc thrashed
around theie but the fellow was hid
den by the darkness and had crawled
to his linos 1 wish I knew for sure
whether I hit him
Lieutenant Hooves has a record He
was in Cuba and was wounded He
has the sear on his forehead where nn
Indian bullet struck him When ho
was In New York Just before the
United States transport Sheridan sail

No Torture Equal to the
Itching and Burning ot
This Fearful Dlseaso
Not much attention is often paid to tho
first symptoms of Eczema but it is not long
boforo tho little redness begins to itch and
burn This is but the beginning and will
lead to suffering and torturo almost unen
durable It is a common mistake to regard
a roughness and redness of tho skin as
merely a local irritation it is but an indica
tion or a Humor in tno bloou of terrible
Eczema which is more thun skin deep and can not bo reached by loonl appli
cations of ointments salves etc applied to tho surface The disease itself
tho real cause of tho trouble is in tho blood although all suffering is produced
through tho skin the only way to reach tho disease therefore is through
tho blood
Mr Phil T Jones of Mixeravillo Ind writes
I hnd Eczema thirty years and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw nnd sore that it gave mo
constant pain It finally broke into a running soro and
began to spread and grow worse For the past five or
six years I have suffered untold agony nnd had given up
all hope of ever being free from tho disease ns I have
been treated by soma of tho beat physicians and have
taken many blood medicines all in vain With littlo
faith left I began to take S S S and it apparently
made tho Eczema worse but I knew thnt this was tho
way the remedy got rid of tho poieon Continuing
S ii S tho soro healed up entirely the skin becamo
clear and smooth and I was cured perfectly
