Mrs. Charles H. Vaughn, Tunkhannock, Pa. Dear Mother: I will write you a few lines I have a few hours' leisure, whlchHs something extraordinary for this company, for we have been hiking constantly for the past two months and, a half and have had many small scraps with the insurgents. I suppose you think from the, newspaper reports that everything Is all quiet over here, but on this Island you can get a scrap any time you want It, within eight miles of our quarters.

It is almost Impossible, I suppose, for you to understand why we don't either capture or kill the "niggers," as long as we know where they are, but if you could see the country we have to operate in and the small number of troops we have, you would not wonder long. The arm they have on this Island are all of ancient pattern, except a few that they have captured from Americans, and that probably accounts for the small amount of damage they do us. We have had thirteen men wounded within the last two months, but none fatally. On Oct. II, 1901, we had scrap with the "niggers" at a place Tailed Monte Verde, a stronghold in the mountain.

killed about thirty, captured three rides, one breach-loading cannon and three brass muzzle, loading cannon. Fifty of this company ere in the mountains now. In camp. The insurgents have agreed to come In snd surrender to-day and our men are In the field waiting to renew operations at once if they do not do so. Even after they do, you can't tell what will happen, as the Insurgents on the Island of Samar, which Is only about ix hour sail from here, came In and surrendered ind peace was established and a- civil form of government set mp.

The people In the town of Batlnglga, on Eh mar, got Into the good grace of the officer and soldiers stationed there and on Sept. the women of the town til carried bolos into the church under their dresses and while the soldiers were at dinner the "nigger" made a rush and got between them and their quarters, where their rifles were, and butchered all of the companr exeunt who managed to make their escape touhe next post One'.
