IN ACTUAL BATTLE.
ganders Gives 111. Experience.
the Firing Line.
Pr. G. E. Sanders bas receivea a
letter from his son Earl, dated at Ma
nila, Feb. 14. from which the following
extracts are taken:
Tbe war with tbe Filipinos is on
It commenced on the night of tbe 4tb,
when a party of Filipinos tried to pass
an outpost near the water works, six
miles from Manila. They were driyeu
back, and inside of hall an hour tbe
entire Nebraska outpost was attacked
bv a heavv force of natives. The
regiment soon came to their support,
and after a sharD conflict drove tbe
enemy back wjth the loss of only one
man.
The Colorado regiment was next
engaged, and proved to be as stubborn
as the Nebraskans.
At 10:30 P. M. tbe call to arms for
the Oregon regiment was blown, and
in four mi-iutes the. first battalion Was
in position outside the wall and the
second and third battalions were pa
troll tic tbe streets of the city. We
laid in our entrenchments the rest of
the nleht listening to the thunder of
the artillery and the volues of musk
etry. . .
The troops formed in tbe shape of a
horse shoe around tbe city, with the
bay on one side, and Dewey's fleet
flanking them at either end. We
were in the middle of tbe shoe, and
there listened to more manufactured
thunder than can usually be heard In
so short a time. The ten-inch guns of
the Monteray and Monadnock would
peal forth with a thunder that fairly
shook the earth, the screech of the
shells as they mowed through the
forest was ' grand, and when they
burst in our imagination we could see
Filipinos flying in the air. Toward
morning the Washington regiment
and tbe Fourthteenth infantry bore
the brunt of tbe battle, and about 4
o'clock the Washingtons made a
charge driving the enemy into a rice
field, where a murderous cross dre was
poured in on them. This battle lasted
16 hours without cessation.
During the entire week there bas
not been five hours that some regi
ment was not engaged. On the 7th
the third battalion was ordered to the
water works, where tbey have done
some skirmishing, but were in no hard
fighting.
If the first attack of tbe natives had
been successful, there would have been
an uprising in thecity, and the Second
Oregon, the Mlnnesotas and the
Twenty-third infantry would have
bad all they could have done to keep
down street riots. But tbe natives
wore driven back day by day, and we
saw the opportunity for a fight gradu
ally slipping from us.
Now, while last August we held a re
sponsible position and were placed in
a place of danger when Manila was
taken from the Spaniards, we were
really never under fire, and it was by
no means tbe intention of some of us
to go through two wars without
hearing the sing of bullets.
On Wednesday our troops bad fought
their way almost to Malolos, and on
Thursday there were rumors of a com
ing conflict between the natives and
tbe Kansas and Montana regiments
and a detachment of the Utah battery,
so some of us decided 'to be in it.
Coming off guard" Friday morning,
four of us started out to tbe Kansas
line. We found tbe troops lying in tbe
trenches, not expecting a battle that
day, but they were looking for an at
tack that.nigbt. We returned for re
treat, but about sit' o'clock Harry
Fredden, A. J. Gordon and myself
"biked"ou.t and reached tbe front about
8 o'clock. Tbey go to bed early in tbe
trenches, and taps were blowing when
we got there. Taps on the battle field
is very impressive.' ' Everything is
Silent as the grave,'' for' no one is al
lowed to speak above a whisper.' A
feeling of solitude steels over one,
and he begins to think of the good
things far away from tbe field of battl".
After a whispered chat with some of
our friends in Co. G, Twentieth Kan
sas, we were found quarters, and lay
down to sleep until tbe attack. About
9:46 1 was awakened by the firing of
a few shots, soon followed by several
vollies. I heard tbe bullets whistling
over me, and wondered if any of them
would hit me.
Soon the lieutenant's voice was
heard ordering the second platoon up
on. tbe firing line. Now a fellow feels
a little peculiar when he thinks of
crawling out where those bullets are
whistling, but when be sees the others
starting he wouldn't have them think
he was a coward and he'd go if ' the
bullets 'were twice as thick. Well, we
crawled, ran and tumbled into our
posltious, and got ready to load. I
know I wasn't scared, because I had
my wits about me, but I could have
loaded that gun of mine a whole lot
quicker If I hadn't been shivering so
from cold. Just at this moment a bul
let came whizzing by my ear. I recog
nized it by a screech so loud that I saw
day light. After that I wasn't afraid
of the singing kind for tbey were all
above my head.
The outpost was driven in by this
time, and the fight was on in earnest.
Under tbe command of the captain we
poured a few volleys into the enemy.
Tbe captain of that Kansas company
is as cool a fellow as ever lived. A
man- eould bot get excited under the
command of such an officer. He would
come along the line and say: "Now,
boys, I saw tbe flash of tbeir guns a
little to the left; just give them a few
vollies in that direction. I think we
will quit them,'' or "there that's good;
do you see how they quiet down."
Gordon raised his head above tbe
trench to see what was in front. The
captain seeing him, cried out" Great
scott, ' boy, get down there; do you
want to get shot." Afterwards, Gor
don said "I got down and looked up at
that . blooming captain who bad the
n6rve to tell a fellow to pull, bis head
down for fear he'd get shot, when be
was walking up and down the trenches
behind us and hot even dodging the
bullets."
The engagement lasted nearly an
hour, when the natives retreated for a
while.' Immediately after the firing
ceased the buys lay down to sleep. I
lay npon some palm leaves, thinking
how much better a blanket would be,
when some one asked who that was
lying on tbe damp ground without
cover. I replied that it was a raw
recruit, when be said "Oh, an Oregon
mm, eh, well come under here with
me." I gladly accepted, and was sur
prised soon after to hear some one
call him lieutenant, for in tbe Oregon
regiment there is but one lieutenant
who would "stoop" to inviting a priv
ate to sl4ep with him.
Three attack were made on ns dar
ing the? night, and there was consider?
able desultory firing between the out
posts. The lat struggle came about
4:30 and lasted until after daylight,
when the troops left tbe trenches and
charged the enemy, but tbe Filipluos
did not stand fire iODg, for when an
on i American soldier can see what he is
looting at he is too'dangerous a obt a
acter far a Filipino to stand. before.
Gordon and I were booked for'guard
duty that morning, but he demurred
when I suggested returning to quarters
but I had a "hunch" that proved to be
worth $5 to me. I reached quarters at
7:30, but didn't mount guard. Gordon
and Harry went out hunting sharp
shooters, and from what Gordon says.
Harry must have "winged" oce.
got put in the guard house, and when
Harry and Gordon got back they came
there too Harry and I were fined $6
each and five days in the guard house
for absence without leave, and Gordon
got $5 extra for missing guard mount.
As we were not punished for neglect
of duty our conscience does not trouble
us, and we tblnk the experience we
bad that night was worth many times
what it cost us.

Tbe Los Angeles Herald gives the
following account of the death of Hank
Brown, an old stage driver, who was
well known to many of the early set
tlers of this section.
Hank Brown, a forty-niner, and
one of tbe best known men or the
southwest, died yesterday at the Cali
fornia hospital of pneumonia. He bad
lived nearly bis entire days since he
came west on tbe desert or in mining
camps. His name was immortalized
oy Mark: Twain in "Ploughing it."
When some of his old friends in this
city heard'Of his death they said: "He
couldn't die on the desert, and coming
to town killed htm." He was born in
Kane county, 111, 68 years ago, and
came west when news of the gold dis
covery in California reached Illinois.
He prospected with 'varying fortune:
until 1863, when he began his career as
a stage driver In Oregon. He drove
from The Dalles over the portage to
Celllo. He also drove stage from
Wallapulu to Walla Walla until 1866,
when he went to Salt Lake City and
engaged in the livery business. . In the
fall of that year he drove for Ben Holli
day. The next year he started a stage
line from Corrine on the Union
Pacific to Helena, Mont. Afterward
he came f the Colorado desert and
establisned a line from San Bernardino
to Yuma, Ariz. Some years ago his
ranch houses, stock and all his vehicles
were destroyed by fire and his days on
the box came to an end. -

It is often said there is no place for
children to play in town without going
into tbe streets, and this is to some ex
tent true. W by would it not be well
for the city to own a few lots and fit
them up for . children's play
grounds? The experiment might he
made with tbe lot owced by the city
on Third street opposite the Masonic
building. It could be graded and
sown to grass by working city pris
oners, and would make an attractive
place for the little folks.

BOMK FKOM YUKON.
Jack Unbrlck Returns after Two Years
the Frozen jtorth.
J. f. Uubrica", who left here
two
years ago the coming summer for
Alaska, returned home last night.
Mr. Hubrick says life In Alaska is not
all sunshine .and pleasure, nor is it a
place where every man will make a
fortune, although there are many
there who are making money, though
as a rule tbe miners are not saving
near all they make. He gives us an
illustration, miners who are panning
out from $100 to $500 a day, who go to
town after a week's work and spend
every cent they have made, then re
turn to their claims to pan out more,
He says that although the winters
are severe and long, they are prefer
able to summer, for during the heated
spell there is a steam raising all tbe
time that is very trying upon the
constitution, that only the extremely
robust can endure.
As to the opportunities for making
money, he says they are many. Ia his
own case, be was iairly fortunate, and
expects to return. The first year he
spent at Dyea, and says he cleaned up
$n,000, but sank it all in speculation.
He then went to Dawson, landing
there broke, but made enough to come
out on, and still has money left.
During the past winter he hunted
cariboo and moose, supplying the
miners with meat, and did fairly well.
He brought out with him a con
siderable amount of dust, and bas
about 250 worth of nuggets that are
very handsome. He left Dawson on
tbe first of March, coming over the
trail on foot, covering the distance be
tween Dawson and Skagway in 17 days
Mr. Hubrick says he would not ad
vise any ore to go into Alaska, though
there are opportunities there to make
fortunes, and an energetic young roan,
if he is wide awake an is frugal can
accumulate wealth there, though he
must make up bis mind to endure
many hardships.

BANNER OF PYTHIANISM.-
Kntg-ht McKlbben Sneaks of the Renewed
Interest in the Ojder..
J. H. McKibben, editor and publisher
of the "Senator," official organ of the
Oregon Knights of Pythias, left far
his borne in Portland this morning,
having been throughout Eastern
Oregon in the interest of his paper.
Mr. McKibben spoke encouragingly of
tbe condition in which he found the
lodges of Pythianism in this part of
the state, and said:
"In my opinion, Pythianism is going
to forge ahead, and from this time on,
will again take its former place among
the secret orders of tbe state. There
Is a renewed interest in the world of
the order, and all along the line one
can see the evidences of a determina
ted to raise the banner of Damon and
Pythias higher before tbe people, and
sustain the standard at the point at
which it should be kept. There is, in
deed, a hopeful outlook ahead for the
members in this portion of tbe state."

Hon. J. L. Cowan, Indian agent at
Warm Springs, was In the city today
en route to Portland. Hee.-tid the loss
of stock on the reservation tbe cast
winter bad been considerable. Owing
to the dry season last year the Indians
had not been able to put up much feed,
hence could not prevent their stock
from starving.
Salem has a nice little bonded in
debtedness of $161,000 hanging over
it, and is now askiag the voters of the
city to authorize tbe issuance of SSO,
000 more bonds to take up its floating
debt. The ability of Salem to get
into debt seem to have little or no
limit.
R. Parrisb, of Hay creek, is in town
today. He says tbe los of stock on
Hay creek bas oeen comparatevely
light, considering tbe severity of the
winter, there having been but little
loss of any thing except horses,
though horse - owners paid little at
tention to their stock, consequectly
a great many fine animals died.
After reading the boundaries of
Dalles City, as described in the new
city charter, one of our citizens con-
cluned it left out all that portion east
of Union street, and some fear was ex
pressed lest we should .find ourselves
in tbe same predicament Pendleton is,
but a careful study of tbe charter re
veals the fact that the only changes in
the boundary are along tbe west line
where a small strip of worthless land
is left out of tbe corporate limits.
