Manilu, Aug IS, '98. ukak Moth mi You have beard all about the bombardment and nurren der of Manila before this no doubt. Kridav niirbt August 1-th e re each company to take 1-.000 rounds ol ammunition in addition to the Issit full, and every sipiad received packages of liindages etc, for wounded, and v ere prepared and ordered te lill all our trenches and get every available man in Iba trenches or in rear. We had about S 000 men I thluk in our little urmy. Ti.ni. or four regi metils and several hatlcrics with l(i cannons and 8 rapid lire gnus. We have teu digging trenches every duy and night and keeping i; en in tbom, that is iba reason we hud several SOgagamanta. I was under lire four times. There Is an immense growth of under brush between die Spanish und American trenches, and we would ad vance our I reiuii ufior night and the Kpaulards would lire ou u-, and It would bring on an engagement. We Inst about l.'O UHUt killed and about .it) wounded before tlie bombard incut, und when we took die city'" killed, 4 who have dud since and oO wounded. My regiment lost only one man killed in net ion and about 13 wooodedi one perhaps fatally. Sn the tienchCS were full of men on out post duty Friday night, und us early as :i o'clock Saturday morning troop- commenced lo lake their posi tion, mid at about 0:30 a m all of die 8,000 men wen: in their places. We curried 900 round, of ammunition and tWO days rations in our liuver sacks h suits canteen and pouches We were loaded down wltb a mule's load. And it was in ar 10 o'clock when Dewey's fleet op ued On on the outer walls and lorls. He used only three warship and kepi lbs Monterey and others trained on the Qertnan Dentin esse they should lake u hand, but w isely they did Ii it. Th- lioiubardii -iil lusted annul o0 minutes, and the., say 140 shells were fired, mostly O-lncb hliells, very few 8 inch, and tlie Ma iteiey did not get to use her big cutis. As simiu us tlie I oinbardmetil ceased die troops in the trenches charged the Spanish und our batteries opened on the Kpauiards. The At tor had - killed and quite a few wounded, they did terrible execu tion in tlie Spanish trenches. A shot from either tho Asl r buttery or one ol the two Utah battel i 's struck u Spanish block house and killed 41 Spaniards. the Minnesota' lost killed and several wounded, and the 1.3rd I" Slost one killed and a number wounded, and Ihe Colorado's lost one or two killed and several woum! d. The .N'elirask, i u ilornia, Pennsyl vania and several outfits of regulars came directly up the beach, wading In Ibasurf, We crossed a river, wading up to our wulst ju-t before we struck the outer walls. When we came in view of tba walla the Spanish were retreating, and a fel low from the Colorado regiment reached tbe walls and climbed ou top atid run up tho American ilag aud just as lie did it n Spanish sharpshooter picked him oil". The Spaniards retreat ed into the city but kept up a tire on us, and when we passed die walls next to the sea we saw six dead Spaniards killed by their gun, one of them hud the top of his head blown oil so We 0 iuid see his tongue, and there wascne wouuded, on a lit er, that they had tc leave the liring WU to hot for them to carry him. When we paasid th outer wall and Waded to our waists in the sea die ' Soaliiards keot ilrin., ... K. vr. u , ul ! ue waded In the ess, for atmii a miio .,.i i ,.,, . ",... " oui nnuer lire nuo die street and double timed about oik-half ,Uile aud arrived io nnu I before the fumous old walled city, with IW.i lines o! trenches with a big muddy creek and sbsrpsned brush aud severol lines of barbed wire feuces In front of the walls and trenches, which 1iK),(Kmj Infantry could not have taken , but we were surprised, became we doubled time up there uuder lire aud expected to go Into an engagement, but tlnink God there waved the milk white-flag on the forts. We could juat see the lepsoimany nats, hut we gave three rousing cheers and our nllant littl. "ny swung m.hi .: ,, U.e road In front of.'; ralU I, -mked arm mid ate dinner our Ur-i Manila.

Our men cut the lelegruph line from tbe forte to the Spaniards in the tranches baron the city, aud they did not know, that the city bad surren dered and Ihey kept on lighting until driven in. The Spaniards lost many men, they bad 1,000 sick and U00 wounded hy the i rgen'l Wb0 we came, and low tbey have 12 big hospital all full. An Englishmen told me, the first night tho Nebraska engaged them, August Snd, that the S. auiurds lost 470 ki'led, we can not tell exoctly, for none hul the Spanish officers kuow aud they will not tell, but from the number of bospl tals, ai:d tlie many new graves, tbey must have lost u great many men. It seems Strang , l'- wey, with six -hips engaged fourteen Spanish ships and sunk eleven utnl cuptured two, 000 escaping, Without losing a man, and we have lost about SB or so killed and Nor 100 wounded. American soldiers and suliors are 0. K Tbe Spanish ure vtry brave too, they came right out in the open and advui ced on our trendies several iimes aud were repulsed, and Ihey cume again; that Is where they lost so mauy men. The American'- itood iii their trenobee and mowed lhm dowu line grass. Every one is glad that we have tak en Manila, esp. daily our gaod friends, the Knglish. The troops are quartered ull over the city; tber sre several rsgtmsnt in the suburbs, keeping back the Insurgents. Tlie Insurgents gave us no material uid during the bombardment and cap ture of Manilu, hut us soon as our troops charged into die city, the insurgents followed lis, and we had to keep them hack, for they wanted to massacre the Spanish with their machetes and rob the city, and of course, making the Spanish prison' rs, we hud to protect them. No PllllpinO are allowed to enter Muniiu with arms or knives. They are sn eager to get in that they are giv ing up their amis quite rapidly. We do not fear any more trouble with them, although they were hud lor awhile. The Oregon regiment was stationed at Civile, and Ihey never saw the trendies nor got to lire a shot. Part of the regiment is now guarding en Merrill's headquarters in the old walled city; it is it Hue place. Tlie old Cathedrals and palaces are tine indeed, and the faotlflorilooa. My regiment guard tbe outtomt bouses and docks tly batalllon is stationed lu au old police headquarters. The condition of affairs is had. The dty water woiks are ruined and we get untiling nut rum water. All kinds of eatables, especially meats are very high. Hice is tlie only thing, to he had. The Spaniards are almost starved out. I am feeling excellent. You ever loving son, Umbd. Another batch m' letters from die r.oys at .Manila arrived today. They stale that life le much better since, arriving intbeolty; Travis, Calef and Wood are in the hospital. Oeo Park is said to have sent $100 home and It 8 Brom ley 600 and others in smaller sums; the volunteers are soon to have a chance to eolist as regulars; most of die letters describe interestingly scenes of the city aud peculiar customs uoted.
