and in due time, the t nhith contain
ed the very thinic requirl' for the eirk.
I thought hrn we yM-n;J It and aaw
the cnl-iiU, wlmt a pity we had not
had the forethoiiKht to provide ourselvee
with juHt aui'lt thiiiica for the vo'sk, as
in the (aimed him a great deal of whole

But a thia it our flrat expedition, hope
we will he pardoned for a great many
mistakes we have made. We did not
know that we would he allowed lo take
anything, hot our er.otial baggage, aa
government regulaliona elate how much
each nun ie allowed. All the other
hoxee arrived In time for Christmae.
We were afraid they would not al Santa
Clause ha no enow or reindeer nothing
but the water buffalo and flutnay cart,
and this, I expect, hie first expedition to
the 1'hiiipolnee will pardon him for hie
tardiness. I will not attempt to expres
our gratitude for your kindness. If you
will carry your mernerie back to when
you used to fill those fame boja etw k-
Ings with toys" and watch their clul'lisli
-u. l,i.n tl.a verv tiling they had
a - - -
wished for, Santa Clam had brought.
It was a grand opening. There i no
such a thing aa personal boxet contain
ing eatables. We all eat at the same
table and divide up everything that i
good, anil when it is gone kick for more.
We had an excellent Christmas dinner,
with Ihe fruita. i-akes, eie., aent from
bountiful Oregon, and twenty-four (24)
large, fat ducks; aix (6) tuikeya and
twelve chickens, which are plentiful and
of excellent quality here. And our

other tropical idantt of which I do not
know the name, but make a yer y pretty
decoration. Had tea, coffee, and ice
water, but nothing stronger, and to fill
our cupe of Jiy went oat to tM Lunette
and saw our boy a win a hotl? contested
game of ball from the Minnesotea, which
makes four atralght gasuea and no lost
ones to our credit. One more from the
Pennsylvaniana and the beautiful silver
cup will be another laurel for Oregon in

lu conclusion I w ish to thank you all
for your kindness, for the thinge given
or our departure ai there were eo many
boxes and baskets put on at Asliiano
and Oregon City for us, they telegraphed
to us that the second aectioi. of our train
had not received their share. I left
some at Salem for them and may have
put oil personal boxes and therefore they
may not haye been acknowledged.
Also for attention shown us since our
arrival. You have done your duty, and
cannot realixe how much you have ac-
comnliHhed. This has been your war as
much as ours. We have done nothing
wonderful, but have obeyed orders, did
fairly well what there was tor us to do.
Fortunately was little to tfo. ims war
was on the first of May . It is not nec
essary to mention the man's name who

grateful thoughts and good wiaties ior

At the time we were eating our dinner

Mama, feb. fl. A terrific battle
between the Filipino and the Ameri
can troops begin lata Saturday night
and continued nntil Sunday afternoon.
The American looses are about twenty
killed and 200 wounded, while the Fili
oinoa Itmt thousands in killed, and many
of them were taken prisoners. The in-
surienta were repulsed, ar.d the Ameri
can army has full control of the silua"
lion.
IskTAfl-S Of Tilt BATTLE.
Mama, Feb. 5, 7 ;1S p. in The area
embraced in the fighting in Sunday's en
gagement embraces a semi circle of fully
seventeen miles. Ho far aa can be
gathered, the brush commenced at 8 :45
Saturday evening, by the firing of a
Nebraska sentry at Santa Mesa, opon
some Filipinos, who were deliberately
crossing the line, after repeated warn
ings, with the evident purpose of draw
ing our fire. The first shot from an
American eentry was evidently ac
cepted as a pre-arranged signal, for it
was followed almost immediately by a
terrific funilai'e along the entire Filipino
line on the north side ol the l'asig river.
The American outposts returned Ihe fire
with such vigor that the Filipino' fire
wa checked until the arrival of rein
forcements.
All the troops in the vicinity were
hurried out, and Ihe Filipino ceased
firing for a half hour w hile their own re
inforcement came up. At 10 o'clock
the firing was resumed the American
firing line consisting of the Third ar
tillery, the Kansas and Montana regi
ment, the Minnesota regiment, the
Pennsylvanian and Nebraskans, the
Utah battery, the Idaho, Washington
and Califoruians. the fourth cavalry,
the North Dakota volunteers, the Sixth
artillery and the Fourteenth infantry.
The Filipinos concentrated tbeirtorces
at three points, Calicacan, Santa Mesa
and Cahngalam. and maintained an in
termittent fusilade for some hours.
Thev brought artillery into action of
Calingalara at 10:30, but only one gun
annoyed the Americans to any appreci
able extent a howitzer, on the road be
yond Santa Mesa. The Third artillery
silenced the Caligalam battery by bring
two guns simultaneously, which were
followed immediately by volleys from
the inlaotry.
At about midnight there was a lull in
the firing, lasting until abuUt 3 :4o a. m.
when the whole Filipino line reopened
fire. The Americans poured a terrific
fire into the darkness (or 20 minutes and
then there was another lull until day
light when the Americans generally sd
vaoced. During the night, in response to Ad
miral Dewey's signals, flashed across
from Cavile, the United States cruiser
Charleston and the gunboat Concord,
stationed at Malabon, poured a deadly
ure from their secondary batteries into
the Filioino trenches, at Calicacan.
After daylight the United States double
turret, aea-iroiun. monitor Monadnock,
opened fire off Malate and kept shelling
the Filipinos' left flank, while the otner
ships shelled the right flank lor several
hours.
Bv 1 o'clock the Americans had ap
parently routed the enemy and had tak
en the villages ol ratawpong, oih
Mesa, Paco, Santa Ana, San Pedro
Macortft. Panocan and Pasai, had de
stroyed hundreds of native huts and had
secured possession of tne water-main
reservoir, a distance of over six miles.
The Tennesseans joined the firing line
at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, and as
sisted in capturing Santa Mesa.

Dear Sister: My plan for visiting
home this year are In vain, for we art)
ordered to the Aslitic station and will
probably end the rent of my croiao
away from home. The Oregon is going
to the Ualapsgo Islands and coal, then
to Honolula, from there we will go to
Yokahamaor direct to Manila ; the Iowa
is going to Frisco and I gueM she will
be there when you get this.
Spent Christina at sea and our Christ
ina dinner wa much better than onr
Thanksgiving dinner, for the cook ex
pected to be at ea and were prepared
for it: beside roast geese, turkeys and
pig and inch other thing as you enjoy
at home, we bad strawberries and cream,
minu the cream. The berrie we grt
in Valapriao, and kept tbem in the re
frigerator aa we did everything else till
Xroas.
We arrived here on the 2Cth. and after
filling the ship full of coal were allowed
to go ashore for forty-eight hours. I
went last Monday and spent the day
seeing Callao. Monday night I went
op to Lima. The principal production
of Callao is fleas; next on the list are
policeman and harmles dog abont
ei'ial in numbers andjually annoying.
The fleas demand a great deal ol atten
tion; the police are very numerous ami
depend more on numbers than strength.
One is seven miles inland from Callao.
a Pes PicTvaB or Lima.
I visited the cathedral for which Lima
is justly famous. Lima is much prettier
than 'Callao and ia somewhat cleaner,
the principal cathedral face the grand
plaza and contains the remains of Pix
aaro. the founder ot Lima, who was
murdered in 1535, and Is now worshiped
by all gol Peruvians. The remains
are preserved in a glass case and ia
daily visited by many thousands. The
cathedral is a magnificent structure
built of adobe, but so plastered that it
resembles stone, the interior is sup-
oorted by twenty-seven stone columns
ninety feet tall and nine feet square.
The principal chapel ia about two hun
dred feet long and one hundred feet
wide, and at one end is a splendid mar
ble alter decorated with geld. The in
terior ia hung with fine oil paintings
illustratins the bible. One entire aids
is filled with carvings representing tLe
life of Christ on earth, and a splendiu
life aixe carving of the crucifiction. -
Lima is infested with police aa well aa
Callao. Tbeyhave the most awkward
uniform poemhle; aiouchy coats and
trousers, baggy at the knees and tight
at theankles. One of our "cops" could
handle a dozen of them easily. Beef
steak and eggs are the only things we
could get to eat ashore and tne steak
was flavored with garlic
I guess I will not be home this year for
we are ordered to the Asiatic station,
the Iowa is going to Frisco and we are
going to Honolula from here. 1 will
