CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY u, 1900. Lieutenant McNarney in the Philip pines. The following extracts are taken from Lieut. McNarney's letters to his wife and friends. Inasmuch as several Cameron county boys are with Lieut. McNarney we copy parts of his letters: PORAC, Nov. 6.—1 am happy to say the Thirty-sixth has 110 equal on the Island and I am in k>ss danger with the Thirty-sixth than I wauld be in many others, for the reason that the insurgents are in deadly peril of Col. Bell and his Thirty-sixth, which is a composition of fighters that cannot be beat. Ido not speak this way because it is my regiment, for if it was poor I would be the first one to say so. But the people of Manila recognize the Thirty-sixth as the best fighting regi ment, 011 the island and I now know from experience that from the Colonel to the kitchen police, they are brave devils and brave into recklessness. 011 the lirst of November we left Bacolor and marched to Santa Rita, arriving there at six p. m. The expec tation was togo the next day to Porac and of course the natives learned of this (as it was no secret) and carried the news to the insurgents. Instead of going to Porac on the 2nd we marched silently out of Santa Rita at at 8 p. 111., on the Ist to Florida Blanca, marching all night and as silently as death itself. There had been a force of insurgents quartered in a church at Florida Blanca, and we hoped to sur round and capture them at daybreak. Everything worked beautifully and at 5 a. m.on the 2nd we had the church completely surrounded, but our well laid and beautifully executed plans failed, as the niggers, learning of our intentions togo to Porac, had left their quarters at Bp. m.on the Ist, the same time we started, and marched to Porac to reinforce the niggers there. As we missed our game there we marched to Lobar where we laid in ambush for about two hours waiting 011 them, but as they had all pulled their freight, we again marched to Florida Blanca, where we had dinner on the celebrated emergency ration (which by the way is not bad when you are tired and hungry.) After dinner we started for Porac and arrived there about 4 p. m., wet through, tired, sleepy and hungry. As we got in the river the niggers opened up 011 us and you should have seen those men wake up. Every man for got all about his hunger, his sore feet, his wet clothes; forgot they had march ed nearly 24 hours continually, and the way they went at the niggers was something to make any one feel proud of his American citizenship. It was one grand rush, firing as we went, and we kept going until not a live nigger could be sighted driving them almost out of existence. 1 think they are still going in all directions. We drove them out of their strong lines of in trenchments just as easy as if they had been jack rabbits. They had things nicely fixed up for us in front of their intrenchments, viz: in one place a high bamboo fence, in another a bamboo rail about a foot from the ground covered with bamboo brush and directly in rear were sharp ened bamboo spikes, for us to run through us when we fell over the rail, at another place they had three rows of pits dug and bamboo spikes stuck in the bottom for us to fall in on, but they didn't work. As near as I can tell we killed and captured about twenty and scattered the others to the four winds. Some money, horses and guns were captured, I got a horse and a 8010, which is a large knife similar to a Machett. W'e have not been bothered since. You can guess we enjoyed our supper that night, also our sleep. Our loss was one man killed and one wounded. The next day a party was sent out to make a recoiloisance and met a few of the enemy who stood for a short while and again flew (all that was able )to the mountains beyond. Lieut. Colonel Grover was wounded. I was detailed as officer of the dav on the 4th. which perhaps is the most dangerous duty we have, as it is neces sary to visit out posts, but they were so badly scattered that I had 110 trouble. I had the good fortune however to capture another horse. Wo are not at all afraid of the insurgents, but they have a very wholesome respect for us. Tomorrow we leave Porac and don't know where we will wind up, but are after Aguinaldo now and we will keep going after him till we strike him—that is if he don't go too fast for us. These fellows are just like jack-rabbits and can run about as fast." The men are all getting to be good wing shots now. Perhaps those absent minded beg gars may wish they were absent bodied as well before Oom Paul gets through them. • ••••••• •• e Sii ie i i •••••••••••••••••• • ••••• • • « • © • * C • • • 9> 9 9 9,9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9-9.£9 £.9 9 9 9 9 999 9.9.9-9 99-9 9-9-9 9 9 999 99 9 • •) I 1900 II (9 9) (••) (•©) 99) JG SEW YEA:K GREETING. <••> our many friends and patrons we extend sincere thanks <••) !»•) an assurance of our appreciation of the support given v us during the year just closed, and especially for the sur (•»> prisingly large holiday trade, demonstrating to us that the peo (••j ]>le appreciate our untiring efforts to make ours the Very Best JJJj jjjj family store —nothing less—and encouraging us in our efforts, <•£> (ooi With the return of prosperity all about us, the year 1900 should (••) he a happy one for all.
