FROM; ;T;HE PB1LUHE8,
An Interesting Accounts! Life "
i 'Manilla , Sent to the
Chancellor.
PHUi RU8PELL WRITES.
Camp Dewey, nenr Manilla, Aug. ft,
1808. My Dear Chancellor: 1 received
a teleprrnm from you shortly .boforu
leaving1 for Manilla, which I assure yon
was very rriiieh appreciated, but xt
that time to" my dutiotf'ns a lieutenant
of the IlnoAvero added a number of
other that kept me very muoli occu
pied before Hailing. During the voy
age 1 had the plonmmi of being signal
officer, .vhftb. relieved me of somu
more dl"ji,,,nblt ilutlra. The trip
wnH unneeesnarlly hard on both offi
cers and, men, picked up as they were,
like ehttle and Jd oycn ht tl,e "c
my'H country was a wo-come Bight
after thirty-two daya on tho water.
The night Wiat struck uh with moat
force, in Manilla bay wn the hulks of
the Spanish war vessels, mants of
Dewey's ( great victory of May 1st.
With such men directing affairs It is
no 'wonder that American arms are
unaurpased In the world. Wc nre en
camped within two miles qf the Span
ish lines In a clearing between two
bamboo and mahogony forests, a
beautiful spot and healthier I believe
than our San Francisco camp. Of
course oir men are without any com
forts, having with them' only what
they can carry on their backs, but
hardy and husky, and cheerful as on
ly American soldiers can. be.
Our days of tin soldiering are over
and we number our dead and our hos
pitals hold our wounded but It is a
cause no American need fear to die
in, though It la far from homa. Tboaa
of the First Negraska who are for
tunate enough to return home will
"have their portion, w. rwvwiiemco ml
love for the" stars'and stipes tfcwt only
a soldier who Jias followed the flag- to
victory can feel. Day before yester
day our regiment was sent to occupy
entrenchments at the front, AH Bay
it rained and the men worked in. the
mud without a murmur. About ten
that night we were suddenly and
strongly attacked but they found us
ready and even the terrible scream of
shMAMLand the noise of bursting
slMNatiaSjpL.aot unnerve the men.
Thtey took W as cooKy ols if Mite bmleta

The best accounts give the Spanish
loss at 400 killed and wounded, while
in the whole engagement we only lost
one man and the wounded say Spanish
bullets only tickle. D company, though
they sustained the main part of the
attack, came off unharmed. Our offl
cers's uniforms are very conspicuous
and the officers nil d'om- a pnhialte's uni

After Dewey's victory of May 1st,
Captain General August! was reacTyto
surrender, but admiral Dewey, with
no infantry to support him, could not
accept such a surrender .for he had no
means of protectng Manilla. He at
ttyvt time promised the insurgents,
-who have proclaimed a republic with
General Agudnaldo as president, an
American protectorate if they would
hold the Spaniards within the walls of
Manilla. This they have done simply
"because the Spaniards have no desire
to come out. The insurgents come
and go as they please, fight when the
individual happens to feel blood
thirsty awl fltap whan himferryt.
Major Geneirail Mwriltt coaues w"iltih an
order to set up a provisional govern
ment. Dewey's promise to the insur
gents cannot be kept, for if they are
admitted into Manilla, the city will be
looted and every Spaniard's throat
cut,, on the other hand if we refuse
them admittance we have 25,000 armed
insurgents to fight, with a chance for
foreign initerferejwe. The 'Mtonlterey
has come in and it is expected that
her guns can silence the Spanish bat
teries when we must do the rest. It
is the Opinion of many that before
Spain will undergo n bombardment,
the army will surrender, even then we
have the insurgents Co settle with
There is -no qnestion tfia.. Spaniards

cowards. Many of their vesels went
down with colors flying and every
man at his gun and no coward will at
tempt to rtAe fortifications under
such a fire 'as we gave them the other
night. We are all ready for whatever
turns up, .fiiily we want it quick, the
delays arpnlie hardest' to. put up withjf
