FRIDAY,
INTO THE JAWS OF HELL.
A Vivid Description of Idaho's
Idols Under Fire.
Says Private M. L. Murray:
The long-wished-for chance
to do something came this,
Sunday the 5th, after ten
waiting.

Whether we did
of the fighting let others tell,
but I will say that we did
everything we were told, ex
cept stop after we got the
der to charge. For the last
two months we have been on
the verge of a fight. It
gverted only by coolness
compassion on the part of the
Americans, which was taken
for fear or cowardice by the
insurrectos, Of course it was
bound to come to blows, for
the more we would take from
them the more

On the night of February
4th we got orders to march to
the front, so the five compan
ies, "B," "C," ' D" and "G'
2nd battalion, and company
"F" of the ist batallion, that
were quarteted at the cock
pit in Paco District moved
about two miles out towards
the front to a big church.
Paco Church and yard is sin
rounded by a stone wall about
three feet high. Inside of this
wall we were halted until day
light for further orders. From
the time we left camp on the
evening of the fourth .here
had been almost continuous
firing on our left and front,
and the whistle of the Maus r
bullets was uninterrupted.
About two o'clock in the
morning when the firing be
came a steady roar we were
ordered to the front along the
Santa Ana road, when we
were again halted about half
a mile from the front of 0111
line. While here, two of the
Company "B" men, Sargent
Scott and Private Hall were
shot—some think from the
front, but I think we were
"hush whacked" by some of
the natives playing "Amigos."
Anyway, Hall died since.
At daylight we were march
ed hack to camp where we
got breakfast; then out again
to the old church. We rested
on our arms here about an
hour, when we got the com
mand "to the front." The
boys all rushed to their places
in their respective companies.
The din of the battle in our
front was deafening, and the
whizz ping of the Mauser bul
lets were thick just above out
heads; still the boys were all
cool as veterans. We just got
formed, when a teritfic fusilade
was sent apparently into
ranks from the old massive
tower of the church, just above
and back of us, not over fifty
feet behind the rear
company.
The ambush and surprise was
complete; the rite must have
been directed at our officers,
for if they shot into the ranks
they couldn t possibly have
misled 11s; as it was, not a
man got hit. Immediately
after the firing commenced in
our rear Major McConville
sent a squad round back of the
church and ordered the rest of
the regiment to cross the low
wall on our front into the !
street, and get behind it for
protection From this place
we fired a few volleys into the,
church tower and belfry with
no better result than to add to
the j
bring was at its height the
clear voice of Major MeCon
ville could be heard above all
of it:
the horrible din.

to the bridge that crosses the as

larted the attack on the insur

Paranacu up to their necks
and charged across the rice
fields or swamp, Miming to
their knees every step bin
pouring a steady fire nto the
enemy lines. There tu o
companies were deployed in
extended order, and d d some
beautiful work by voile) firing.
The splendid form the) main
tained in their rushes across
the rice fields, from bench to
bench, in a line of nearly 2,000
feet front, was just grand.
While we were admiring our
friends of the first bajttallion,
we got the oriler we
waiting for. Two pieces of
the sixth U. S. artillery that
were throwing shells nto fort
Santa Ana from our side of
the bridge pulled out of our was
and witii a wild yell we dash
ed across the bridge.
Just as the head of mir col
lum struck the approach a
most murderous tire was turn
ed onto us from the two
Krupps and all the Mausers in
the front. We got it hot for
about two hundred yards
when the order was given to
deploy to the left. This was
for companies "B," "C" and
••G." Company "D- was or
dered to t ie right to) operate
with Major Figgins and 'he

off the road into a rice swamp
(which is always m id from
ankle to knee deep) and plow

At the same time company "0" is

companies concentrate a most de

Washingtons and a block of insur
reetos come pell mell down the
slope into that valley of death.
In a very few minutes the ground
is covered w ith dying and dead

the Washingtons did some fearful

Major McConville was shot
twice, the first time in the arm.
I think he got hit the first
time about two hundred and
fifty yards from the front for
I saw him go down, stumble
to his knees, then jump up
again and run ahead. I didn't
notice whether he changed his
sixshooter to the other hand or
not. He made no sign that he
was hurt, either by word or
act. He just rushed ahead a
little as he had been doing to
find a favorable place for the
men to get behind and do the
best execution. When he
stumbled in the rice fields I
was to the right of the colors
(was one of the guards). I
saw Color Sargent Snow
stumble and fall. I rushed to
pick up the colors and lost
sight - of the Major. Snow
wasn't hurt and when I
looked again the Major was
giving the command to bring
company "B" to the last dyke
and we dashed forward; the
colors were almost in the
center of company "B" at the
time. Then he rushed com
pany "C" into their last pos
ition. At this time the two
companies were raking the
fort, both front and flank, in
fine shape. The insurrectos
were getting it hot and heavy.
A company of the first Wash
ington was doing splendid
work on our right, and still
further to the right the first
hatalion was closing in on
the town of Santa Ana, when
the whole bunch rushed out of
the fort. Just about the last
shots fired from the fort caught
the Major and right there we

Feb. 6th.—The three com
panies of the "Rocky Moun
tain braves," who were camp
ed at Santa Ana, were resting
their weary limbs or nursing
their bruises as the case might
be, when an order came to
bury the dead, so several
squads were organized and
sent to guard the Philipino
prisoners who had to do the
work. We got that job com
pleted by noon, and delivered
the two Krupp guns to Gener
al Anderson and he sent them
to the 6th Artillery quarters
for safe keeping. About half
past three o'clock we were
ordered to Santa Ana town
where we joined the first ba
talion and company "D" of
the second, then we all, six
companies, started for San
Pedro Macati, where we
camped with the Wyomings
and some of the Californians,
doing outpost duty and skir
mishing. We stopped here
the nights of the 6th, 7th and
8th and marched back to
quarters the evening of the
9th without any very exciting
adventure. At least we had
no fighting and nothing out
side of capturing pigs and
chickens. At San Pedro the
American troops captured
quite a lot of ammunition for
both Mauser and artillery
which they moved to the ar
senel at Manila on the 8th.
We rested fairly well that
night—the cots felt fine. At
noon the 10th, just as we were
sitting down to dinner, the call
to arms sounded and we start
ed north through Manila and
out to the front at Caloocan
where we were thrown in skir
mish line to support the Mon
tanas and Nebraskas. We
were under fire from 3 o'clock
until 6 that evening, and War
ren Cook was prostrated by
heat and exertion. He is in
the hospital now and is getting
all right.
I went to the hospital today
to see the boys and they are
all getting along fine. Beck
would be up if the doctors
would let him and all of the
company "C" wounded are in
the same fix. Cook would
come back to quarters but

them some stuff out of our
company fund which is a
great benefit. W^e are order

Respectfully Yours,
J. O. Lkvanukh.
A short time since we published
in the Daily P mss an article re
commending idle prospectors to
put in the next four weeks pros
pecting on Salmon river while
waiting for the snow to go off of
the higher mountains. In tlint ar
ticle we cited several districts
along the Salmon, particularizing
among others, the Little Salmon
and Rapid river sections. The
publication of that article lias evi
dently Isirne good fruit, if the let
ter of Mr. Levander, received last
night and published above is not
exaggerated,
ance with Mr.
clined to accept his statements
literally and absolutely true, and j
as an evidence of our own faith in I
the mineral wealth of that party
lar section we this morning started
out a couple of prospectors
grubstake expedition to see what !
truth there is in it.
We have always had faith in the
Salmon river country as being full J
of mineral wealth, hitherto
dreamed of. 1 11 our towns through
that section we have not failed to
notice the fact that the placer
gold, apart from the high-water
deposits of fine gold, is of local or
igin; and while the enclosing walls
of that canyon are for the most
0 a great depth with
detritus brought down in the glac
ial era, there is no doubt in our
mind about valuable ledge» of gold
bearing quartz being unearthed
anywhere along the stream.
