. "It wss a glorious victory."
San Juan Del Monte bridge waa taken
by tha American troopa during tha early
morning after a long and severe etruggle
with the Filkplnoa, who had stationed them
selves upon ths structure, and opened fire
upon the United Statea soldier asleep In
their tents. The first battle ot the Philip
pines, with tha First Nebraska volunteer
infantry In the vanguard, supported by
tha Utah battery, waa thrilling enough
tor ten such conflicts and will make that
terrible night of February 4 and tha morn
ing of the 6th, 1898, memorable In the an
nals of tb Insular war.
The first exhibition of this historic bat
tle, given last night at Vinton atreet base
ball- park by the Omaha Guarda and tha
Thurston Rifles, waa a thrilling and allur
ing spectacle Indeed. Over 2.000 people
witnessed th performance and their re
peated demonstrations were evidence
enough ot their satisfaction.
Prior to th battle a program of mili
tary performances waa given. The Omaha
Guards began with a guard mount and
th Thurston Rifle followed with a close
order drill. Then came Omaha Guarda
drill team, extended drill order, bayonet
and bar bell drill by the Rifles and tho
splendid exhibition by tha Omaha Guarda'
galling gun section, which waa one of the
most interesting snd attractive features
of tha night. Tha men composing this sec
tion have traveled from ocean to ocean
and given theae exhibitions. Their renown
haa become national and their skill la al
most wonderful. The entire preliminary
program waa rendered without an apparent
fault and cack performance elicited tha
most enthuslaatio applause. Tha men
ahowed ,the result ot careful drill and the
ability to execute tha tbeorlea of military
technique.
Captalaa Osbora aad Richard.
t
- Th ' Omaha ' Guarda were under com
mand ot Captain O. G. Osborne and th
Thurston Rifles under Captain Charlea M.
Richards. , Each company comprised about
sixty men. Mayor Ell Hodglna, recently pro
moted from the captaincy of the Guards,
took an active part In the program. In
tha battle tha Guarda repreaented tha
American troopa and the Thuratons were
divided Into two platoons, one represent
ing th Filipino, the other tho autpoat
of the Americans. Each company had a
gatltng gun, that ot th Thurston being
tho property 'Of the state, and tha Guarda
having their old bra gun. . Another gat
llng gun had been brought i up . from Fort
Ctaok. "
Tho. scene of th battl waa tho camp
ot tha First Nebraska Volunteer, infantry
and the Ban Juan Del Monte bridge and
river and, tha time, tha night of February
, isvs, and the morning of to etui
The outpost of th First Nebraaka waa
guarding tha ground, with Prlvat Grayaon
on picket duty. . The stealtky natlvea,
aeelng the Americana wera asleep, advanced
on the outpost and opened fire.. Bu. be
for th first ahot became effective a lan
tern algnal from the outpost carried, th
new of tha attack to the camp, v Thla
sra quickly followed by the call to arms
and In a twinkling the first battle Of the
KMUpnlaes' was madly raging.' .' -
The" Americana-advanced on the aklrtcteh
line; keeping close to the ground, 'Vhlls
creeping gradually nearer th enemy, and a
point of vantage from which to make the
charge.' . A spirited firing waa kept, up
Without cessation, both sides exchanging
a fusillade of shots.' Aa tha brilliant red
aearcbJlght from, the grandstand fell in a
beautiful sheet upon the bridge and river
the natlvea could be seen upon th bridge
in their snow whit uniform, 'using their
arm to tha best of advantage. -Silence
.Thetr Gas.
When the Filipino gun at the bridge bad
begun to belch forth Us deadly contents
tba .Utah battery triad .a phenomenal
charge and fira and silenced tha gun. Thla
waa tha atroka' which proved ' fatal to the
enemy, for It waa followed closely by the
advance of th aupportlng wings and th
gatllng guna of tha Nebraakana. The
charge waa a fierce one. Every man fought
like a Trojan, pouring a deadly fir frori
hla gun into tha fast-waning foe, while the
continual chaterlng of tha . gatllnga and
tha roar ot ' th cannon from tha distant
background- produced one solid maaa of fire
and a deafening and deadly roar againat
which tha .'Filipinos' . desperate efforts
proved Tain.
Seeing tha host of natlvea vanquished
tha Americana r'isbed wildly' upon tb
bridge and took 1U
Then out of th dens amoka and tire
of battl arose Old Glory, and aa its atara
and atrlpea wera unfurled to tha chilly night
breexea by on of Nebraaka'a owa aona,
juat aa waa actually dona in tha real bat
tle nearly four yeara ago, the strains of tha
Star Spangled Banner floated above tha
din and turbulence of military atrifa.
These performaaces wlil ba repeated
every night until Saturday. The' proceeds
are to be equally divided between th two
companies. ,
