Pardon me gentle reader, I know tho q uestions you wiah to ask, but he patient, we'll get to that point. In a little while. Then I will tell you all about tho Filipinos, their customs, huhiLs, mode of living, etc. Came out of tho crecl^i^K., kept off the cold with lijjomo qui nine tablet*, and am now ready to ?'couple on" to my last week's let ter, and proceed forthwith to tbi> town of Catbalogan, Samar, whore tho gun-boats "Helena" and "Nash ville" wnro bombarding tho plane. A tier ceasing iii? iirvw m ?MUw j , the small boats were lowered, and a landing wan made by the 4Mrd Vol unteers. One American wih killed and one wounded. Tho insurgents sefc (Ire to tho town before leaving i'; tho aoJdior boya had to fight lire and watch the enemy' atlhV same time, but they succeeded in keeping the fire from spreading, and drove the enemy in the hills ? very lii^h hill* surrounded thin town on throo Hides, which gave the enemy a deoided advantage, but with nl! tho vnntugo ground, their ancient cannon didn't prove very efFcctive. The next day Moj. Allen, with three companies of tho llird ln fantrv, pursued Lukbun, who had taxed^he natives and had accumu lated *100,000 in gold, to the moun tain fttntneHH. About $'.1,000 ene my's money whs captured at this place. A part of tho 43rd Regi ment, and one section of our Moun tain battery waa also Jeft there. Our next stop was at tho small tow h of Ortuok. A bont wan scut tiflhore from the ^Nanhvlllo," re porting everything quiet, and tho natives HoomWigly frioudly. No troops were then put aulioro at this point, they being a "small fry," 1 guess unclo Sam thought he could gather them in hia uut later on. Taoloban, Leytc waa our next de; ? iniition.-.^iome f?t~?ur Transport* bi>ing of heavy draught, we could not go through the shallow chan nel between Samar and Ley to, so we Hailed nearly around the island of Levte to reach Taololmn, Ther* the two gu U-boats shell**! tl?o towg,; and soon hud the natives on the go. They hud ihe audacity to begin Rome breastworks near the water-front, bvit they proved to he of very littli i service to them. Tho 2nd section of the Mountain buttery, the one tc which I belonged, went ashore a> this point. Found tho town de sorted except by a few Chitv "Hquattcra" and some English reai dents. Tho Chinee always had an eye to business. They would fol low up or precede tho army of oo cupalton, and when tho inhabitants of a town would leave on the ap proach of the American troops, which they almost invariably did,, the Chine would tako possession, hoping, no doubt, that the former occupant might get killed or never return to claim their property'. Our first night in this town i* where wo hegau to got a taste of warfare. It was a very daik night, we had the corral guard and you could hardly hoo your hand before you, and our i ieket lino ran nearly a bundled yards in a thicket. I, admit my flesh was a little "creepy" at limes that night. Had much rathsr fsco ballets In tho day time than an enemy with a knlfo at night. In a day or so the natives began -to return to town, when they learned that tho soldiers would not molest them as long as they were friendly. Our location was not a very safe oue, a? wo wero statlonod on the outskirts of town, and no guard but our own, Vmt the town was not at- j tacked w'.iilo we weie thoro (only! remaining thoro about three weckn) but thoy afterwards mado the Americans vaoato tho town for a short time only. On Fob. 2:ird we shook tbo dust of Tacloban off our feet and boarded the S. S. "Aeolus," on which, was Gen. Kobb's head quarters, our Captain at that time was serving as Inspector-General on his ststF. This boat was not so well provided with staterooms, , and our quarters were on deck, with a tropical rain pouring through the canvas, making our lota very! "wet one." The next morning we stopped at Malytboo, Leyte, and 24 1 men and 1 oftlccr of the 43rd In fantry went ashore to garriaon the town. There waa a email coasting eteamor there loading with hemp, but when the natirea aaw the sol diers coming aehore, It waa a eight to see them with their small ban dies running up the beach na faat as their little brown lege could oarry them. Tbey soon returned whan they found that the soldiers would not. tronble tbtm.
