THE SECOND OREGON.
Hon Thos. H. Tongue Pays a Glowing
Tribute to Our Soldier Boys.
Ve publish the following excerpts
iroai a speech delivered by Hon, Thomas
H. Touuue in the House of Kepreeenta
tives, March 27tb, in which he eulogizes
the Oregon soldier boys for their indomi
table courage and intrepidity during the
war tn the Philippines:
"The Sautiago campaign lasted from
June 23 to July 17 in all 25 days. The
Second Oregon anchored at Manila "Bay
June 14, 1S03, and embarked for the re
turn journey June 14, 1S9. It engaged
in the first battle at Manila, February 5,
1S'X, and emlel its fighting career by the
capture of Aryat at 5 a. m. and Taeig at
it a. in. May. 2-', lS9i. In this fighting
campaign of three mouths and seventeen
days it marched 33S miles in rain aud
pjud and throuuSi unbroken country
I: fought, and it is needless to say won,
42 battles, skirmishes, and engagements;
itlaicritid and received words of praise
from every general who commanded it
in tee tieid from Anderson, Wheaton,
Merritt. and on three, occasions from the
hravi-Bt of the brave, the gallant, la
mented Law tan."
"The quality "of the men who com-
posed the second Oregon was inoicaieu
by a brief order of General Wheaton at
Melinto. "Orderly, overtake those Ore
gon greyhounds oa the road to Polo and
order them to Melinto. Go mounted, or
vou will never catch them." When, af
ter the glorious victory at Malabon.Gen
ral Wheaton was asked, "Where are
your regulars?" he pointed to the fcec
ond Oregon, saying, "There are my reg- j
ulars."
"A volume would not record the heroic
deeds of those boys. At Malabon those
brave young 6oldiers charged across the
ouon rice, fields, upon which they left
many dead and wounded, in the face of
a murderous fire from an entrenched foe
and planted the f?tar and stripes upon
the fortifications of a defeated enemy.
No veterans the world over showed more
tool, steady, and determined courage
than the boys of 'he Second Oregon in
that magnificent conflict."
"When a railroad was captured, the
Second Oregon furuis'jed an engineer,
who had left employment at $150 a
month, to maa the engine. When a
town with waterworks out of repair was
captured, the Second Oregon furnished
the engineer to repair the waterworks
and put them in running order. AVhen
the cuEtom-honeo was organized, the
Secoud Oregon furnished largely the
clerical, force, as ic did for the quarter
master's department. When an educa
tional system was instituted in Manila,
a private from the Second Oregon Le
came superintendent xjI public instruc
tion."' 'I present the record of these men as
the tribute of the State of Oregon to flag
and country. As citizens ol that fair
young Western State, where "rolls the
Oregon," we are prcud of tbem. We
cherish the livinst. we honor the dead,
and shall erect fitting monuments to
their memory."
