wo io have grown accustomed acell s tomed to look for a L change of some kind hind every few days and as ao w we 1 have had to do since arriving in manila faila but lake inke it easy consequently we are of ill anxious to embark for home this desire Is but natural as our terri eory enry tor for exploration Is limited to manila ia and the bay we dare not go beyond the line of 0 american sentries doin outmost duty in the suburbs of the city tills this line surrounds tho the entire city and just beyond some GOO yards yard are the outdo outposts s Is ot of tile the insurgents they have baa c been extremely quiet of 0 let late 0 an and have riven en Us vel very Y little trouble c but this fact act has hag not caused any relaxation upon the pat pait t ot of uncle sam troops A vigilant watch Is kept and all warlike demonstrations upon tile tho part of the os are immediately stopped by our troops tuch N anxiety Is expressed by the different commanders here herc as they all reable that we aou would it have hae a hard time keeping agul naldo and ills his swarm of followers from rit ering tho the city if they should to do so our tears fears havo have been increased of late owing to the news that uncle sam will hold manila only anti and that tha spain will send troops here tile the aver average ago filipino hates the name spain worse than death and it if the news that S nal Is to send it a body of regulars here n proves is true then we chall have our lands hands full for trouble can hardly be averted lias has a good deal dc tl of 0 the trickery of an indian in his nature and I 1 do not think he could be trusted in any case another fact which Is self evident Is that the filipinos are arc not capable of 0 sek gov they have not the gence cence of an am american c rican indian

justice to my battery to mako a few f explanations regarding tho the fight first let nie me say eay thero there were only EOS men all told in the trench when N hen the firing began the trench and magazines had not been completed and were not more than half the tha height of 0 tho the trench as it stands today this was owing to tile the tact fact that wo we had worked but one day on oil the embankment and as yet had bad no time to strengthen our works with sand bags the embankment being merely loose dirt and as it had been steadily Etca dlly tor for tour four days it was waa more mud than dirt however on the fateful night there acie eie but thirty two men f rom liedts grow and gabba of bbs in the trench and neither caits Y younger 0 u n g grant were on tho the ground t that h at night nor did they arrive there until 31 a in we had been fighting since 1130 1120 and when they arrived the firing had ceased and in Be scanning annIng tho the report I 1 fall all to tee bee any
