Dear Father: I have a few hours to myself and I will drop you a few lines. 1 am well at present, and hope when these lines reach you they will find you all well and happy. We have been having a hot time here the last week. The Urst light we had started at 11:20 p. in. July 31. That is, they opened are at that time. It was short, lasting three hours. At the time we only had about 700 men at the front. The rest of the troops were at the camp, which is about three miles from the trench at the front, and the trench is about 800 yards from the Spanish wall. They tried to make a charge on our men, but the boys held them off till reinforcements rein-forcements reached us and then we drove thern back. At the time our battery had but two guns there with two detachments, and there are eight men in a detachment. That would be sixteen men. They did well. They could not have done better, and they all say if it had not been for the two guns the Spanish wuld have gained their point. Just one got. wouuded, a slight wound in the arm. VpneotheY got a slight scratch across " the stomaoh. You will no doubt see all the particulars in the papers, but that is all I hwe to write about. We were not flxeJ for the fight and all the ammunition we had were 100 rounds, and they were poured into the Spanish for sixty minutes, and our hoys were all ready to knock off the "bride block" and leave the guns when we from the camp reached them with more ammunition. Just as soon as we heard them open Are we all jumped out of bed and w..-re dressed in a few seconds, and all crazy to get to the front. We loaded up the limbers and off we cut, each man a-hold of the rope and double time to the Iront. Everything here is done by men and ropes, for horses are not to be had, there being only a few on the island, and they are about the size of a jack rabbit. The uight was awful dark and the rain was coming down in sheets and the mud was hip deep, so you can imagine Her Health Restored UJJIU Til E misery of sleeplessness can only be realized by those who have experienced experi-enced It. Nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, neuralgia and that miserable feeling of unrest, can surely be cured by Dr. Miles' Eestor.itlve Nervine. 60 certain is Dr. Miles of this fact that all druggists are authorized to refund price paid for the first bottle tried, providing It does not benefit. Mrs. Henry Bruns, wife of the well known blacksmith at Graud Junction, Iowa, says: 'I was troubled with sleeplessness, nervousness, nervous-ness, headache and Irregular menstruation; eulTerlnff untold misery for years. I used various advertised remedies for female complaints com-plaints besides being under the care of local physicians, without help. I noticed In Dr. Miles' advertisement the testimonial of a lady cured of ailments similar to mino, and I shall never cease to thank that lady. Her testimonial Induced me to use Dr. Miles' Nervine aud Nerve and Liver Tills, which restored me to health. I cannot say cnouirh for Dr.Mlles'Kcmeaies.

MILES VFPICALCO.. Elkhart, I ml. what kind of a time we ha I in getting get-ting to the front. It is a wonder we were not all killed. Going down the road, bullets were whizzing all around us and shells were, bursting in front and behind us, but as luck would have it none of us were hurt. There have b:eu several l'ttle skirmishes since that night. I think in all there have b'en 20 killed and 10 wounded on our side, and as near as we can And out there were 3,'0 killed and 1,200 wounded on the Spanish side. Manila Ma-nila has not yet sui rendered, but it is reported they will soon. Yesterday the foreign fleet moved out of the bay by order from Admiral Dewey, and he is already to open fire on the city. He told them that the next shot they fired on the American troops he would bombard them. You cannot imagine the hardships we are going through. I cannot express ex-press it m letters, but if lever get back I will have some hard old yarns to tell. All we get to eat is mush and beans, and coffee sugar is at premium. pre-mium. I made a bargain with a fellow that if he would give me a sack of tohacco and enough sugar to put in my coffee for a month I would go up to the Spanish breastworks, but he went back on it. Well, I guess I will close for this time, hoping to hoar from you. 1 wish you would give me all the details and tell me all that is going on. Give my love to all. Yours affectionately, W, Tipton. August 11: Well, the council that was held by our general and the Spanish Span-ish general did not turn out as we thought it would, so the final comes tomorrow. We are all ordered to the front tonight and the tight will come off at 12 noon, August 12, so if I fall make the best of it, for I. will go down like a man, and all th it I feel bad about is mamma and you and the rest. 1, at the present time, am uot a bit sorry that I enlisted. This is all, so good by to you all With my utmost love, Wm. Tipton. Manila, P. I., Aug. 22, 1898. Dear Ones at Home: I received yours of July 10th, and vou do not know how glad I was to hear from home once more; and, dear mother, words cannot express the happiness it gave me to gclynur pltrtfrre. I would uot part with it for all the world. I have done nothing but look at it ever since I got it, and I have read the letters over and over. Oh, you cannot can-not imagine how good it made me feel to know that you wereal! well. 1 let all the boys in the section take a good look at the picture and they were all tickled to get a look at a photograph of a Utah lady, and they all said it was a tine picture, and "we have never seen such a pleasant smile on your face since you joined the army." I think that was right. You wanted me to send a lock of my hair, hut that is something I cannot can-not do, for I have worn my hair short sitce I left Frisco. I remembered Johnnie's birthday. I was still on board the "Colon." It was the day before we landed. You can tell Mrs. Wheeler I have not forgotten her and often think of her if I do not write. Just give her my regards aud best wishes. I guess that little bunch of flowers must be from sister. I take it that way anyhow, and they are dear to me. Just awhile before the letter was handed to me I made the remark to one of the boys that I would like to be home to pluck a bouquet out of mamma's flower garden. 1 am glad you were all home for the Fourth of July. Of course you know whers I was, and it is one Fourth which I will not forget soon. Well, 1 will now change the sgbject and tell you a little of the downfall of Manila, which is now in our hands. There is no doubt but you will see all about it in the papers, but I will write it anyway. We had Ave scraps which included the tinal wind up. First, I am glad to say that none of the boys in our battery was Injured. There was one who got a scratch acrosc his stomach by a spent bullet, but it did not stop him from performing perform-ing his duty. I think there was some supreme power looking after us. For we were under the heaaviest Are in all the tights, and men in infantry regiments falling on all sides of us. Poor fellows. It Is something that would not happen again. We have made a great name for ourselves here in Manila among the infantry boys, and we were congratulated by General Merritt. He savs the Utah boys can have anything they want from now on. The crack Astor battery from New York did not make much of a showing. They were only in one engagement en-gagement and that was in the final wind up. Their loss was three killed and nine wounded. I do not know how many of the infantry were lost, but I think fifty will cover the whole amount. The Spanish reported .V,o killed and 900 wounded. The final tight took place at 9:45 a. m. Saturday. August 13th, a:id in one hour after it started the California hoys were in the city and the Spanish were going in all directions. We all moved on and in the city. We expected thev would hold out longer, but the next morning morn-ing the Spanish general came out and surrendered. li 12 noon our Old Glory was streaming out all over the city, and you don't know how good sho looked. When we opened fire that morning the whole island trembled. trem-bled. Dewey was pouring it into them from the bay and ourselves from the trendies all at the same time, I tell you, it is something which cannot can-not be txpro.SM.-d by words. The natives express it bj saying "boom" "boom." Well. I guess 1 will jar loose on w riting of t he light aud wander off on something else. We are now stationed sta-tioned In tine Spanish barracks on the water edge of the city, the best place to he had in the town. The barracks are divided up into large rooms. We have a nice laivi.! room to sleep in on nice mahogany beds. Then there Is a large dining room, wiih tine tables, aud a kitchen. There are also nice bath looms. The barracks are . inside of a wall. Everything is very convenient con-venient except the water. We have water works but buve not yet got the water turned on. It is much nicer than being cooped up in a small tent and it was a treat to get to eat from a table once more, for we had not) eaten off from one since we left home. We were all surprised when we got into 1 Manila for we expected to see a great place. It is the filthiest place I ever ! got into, I thought Chinatown in Frisco was a dirty hole, but one svould I go into the dirtiest place in Ctiina- towu to get a breath of nesh air, iu preference to this hole. The city is made up of all nationalities, nation-alities, the Spanish being the most respectable. We go to town whenever when-ever we feel like it, but it is not very often we care fur the opportunity. The Spaniard.1 are all very friendly with us now. and acknowledge that they were whipped to a tinisb. They have made the remark that I'.uieriean sold icis are noorly. dressed apd piiorljf fed, but "Oh, how they can tight!" Well. I guess I will come to a close for this time.
