The following is from a ifescrip
tion of one of tho skirmishes at
Manila as published by tho San
Francisco Chronicle:
" The regulars could not dislodge
some Filipinos from a network of
blind trenches one day, aud two
companies of the Tennessee regi
ment were sent around to flank the
natives out of their position. Not
until they had approached almost
to tho trenches did the Tennesse
ans make their presence known.
Then with n wild yell they swooped
upon the Filipinos and chased them
out in no time. The Tennessee
boys are the best yellers in the
Philippines. Wo were five miles
away, but we heard that yell and
knew it was the Tenneesseans on a
charge."
