February 11 two Fill pi do officer*, with
their escorts, came over to our ahtp to
ootUet port cbsrwra, and they were re
ferred to General Miller, who wee the*
In commend, bat he* einoe retired.
They stated their betlncm to him,
aert oor noble General refuerd, with
thank*.
They seemed yet y much put out, end
returned to the elty ’with blood In
their ryes.' About two hour* Inter
they Qrrd ou llte Callao, which was
lylug about 900 yards from shore, com
mending tlwlr fort and the entrance to
the harbor. TUa Callao ImsDediately
replied wilb her 0 pounders, end io las*
than SO minutes their fort war com
pletely demolished. While ibi* wee
taking place the Boston wee throwing
shell after shell Into llte city proper
and had it oo Ore la several places.
Tbe Filipinos had made threats that
before they would •■insedrr the town
they would ley U In eebee, end they
certainly carried it out, for when we
were landed, about 1 p. to,, tbe elty
was u veritable bell. They bed placed
gasoline ell over the town, end when
Lbey sew that w* Intended landing they
toeohrd it off aod today- with the ex
ception of tbe water frout, there le iwt
a bu3toe** house aod very flew residen
ce* standing In the olty. They tried
to bora the water front, but we were
too hot uj their trail, so they 'vam
oosed.* We did out attempt to follow
thorn Into tbe country, so we threw out
oatpoeu. and went into samp for the
night. The seat morning ere received
orders to be in readiness at It p. m ,
with 900 rounds of ammunition each,
but w* were to recooaoltre tbe tur

Oed Company A, of which I am a mem
her, together with Company C and oo*
light battery, consisting of on* Botch,

diately opened Ore on tbe grove, al
though we oouM not see tbe enemy, at
the eame time throwing oat a atlranlsh
line, which was very hard to du, as we
had been fired oa ao unexpectedly that
the men became demoralised for Uu
llsoe being, hut soon recovered, end
we certainly made It bot for those black
