T ti A Volunteer Writes an Interesting ? letter About the Campaign in a the Philippines. ii h Charlotte Observer. ti The following letter was re- a reived a few days ago by Mrs. E. ^ V. Finlayson, of this city, from ^ her brother, who is a member of one of the volunteer regiments in the Philippines. He is also a brother of Mrs Charles McKnight, of Charlotte. The letter is dated Iloilo, P. I., February 19, and is * as follows: g You wouldn't think I had to y ask every officer in o?r regiment j. to fiud out what day of the week ^ this was. Since we have been ^ fighting wo don't know when Sunday comes. Most all the fighting we have done was on Sunday and we didn't know it until it was all over. Our regiment , bag been lucky ro far. We haven't ^ had a man killed. Four or five haye been shot through the clothes ^ and we have beon through the ^ hardest part of the battles. We .j fought for two days and nights here before we got any rest at all. ^ We landed here or rathar an- ^ chored in the bay on the night of y the 10th. We slept that night, ami tke next morning about 10 o'clock the bombardment began. It was a eight to see a city of 30000 inhabitants all on fire. Our ship was right with Dewey's ship when he began the bombardment. As soon as the city was on fire ^ General Miller ordered us to go ashore. We lowered our little a % y boats and in half an hour every ^ one was on the shore, fighting like tigers. We had to go through the city with fire all over us. Some of the boys were burnt. It was a dreadful sight, women and children running for their lives. ^ We went through the city and swept it clean. 1 don't know how ^ many were kilted, i saw some dead and some wounded. 1 think " we killed more Chinamen than ^ anything else. We could no see " who we were killing for the smoke * and fire. 1 don't see how all of ^ us got through alive. 1 don't ^ think there was one left in town. * All who didn't get killed went to the mountains. Wo marched on P to another town and the natives '' had set it on fire. We could not get through at all. We marched down to the bay and Major Cheat- ^ ham detailed me to go around the city ?n the bay, so 1 jumped in and waded most of the way. It wasn't very deep, but the smoke ^ and the heat from the fire almost j II smothered me. 1 found we could p go around, und the whole regi~ ( ment marched in the bay. We laid in trenches and fought all r that night. Several bullets hit over my head, but it wasn't long before I got used to that and ^ didn't mind it. Five of the ^ rogu'ars were killed that night. | We piled the natives up in their h trenches. We had a job next ilay throwing them in the bay. ^ Throe of our company have gone ^ out today on a ten-mile march. . Our company was out last night, but didn't have any fighting. a. -L.- 1 juum in uio suipman wno stayed in town found diamonds and every* C1 thing that was fine. As far as we have marched tho country is ft covered with trunks and clothes. ^ I have two horses and a cow. g| Everyone of the boys has horses i ind water buffaloes. Everything fou see is yours if you want it. L am afraid that lots of the boys will be sick when the excitement n lies out. tx Smallpox has broken out again. n rho chaplain has it and one of the tjoys died in Company M. We deep out in the swamp under t( xtcoanut trees. The first day we were out that is all we had to eat, ' jut there was a plenty of them. 'he trees are as thick as your ngors. We have Jots of fun ratching the monkeys. The hoys re afraid the water we are drinkug will kill them. We liavon't ad any boiled water since the ght began. Wo liave to drink nything we can get our hands on. hope it won't last long, if it oes all of us will die. John H. Gunn. Dexter Harvey Pardoned.
