CHE Anglo-Saxon stands, and for centuries has stood, foremost for liberty, for the equality of men before the law. and for the fullest freedom of thought and intellectual advance- ment. As a result, the march of the race has never been in retreat, but ever onward. It has made blun- ders, but it can learn a lesson, seldom committing the blunder over and over until it becomes a crime. These conditions are reversed in Spain. That country is by nature endowed with many advan- tages, and yet her people are wofully down-trodden, and generally ignorant. She has made the serious mistake for long generations of trying to hold dis- tant colonies by force of arms instead of endeavoring to bring about their contentment and prosperity. Her dealing with Cuba is an instance of her fatuous and monumental stupidity. If we entirely ignore her attitude relative to the moral and intellectual devel- opment of the Cubans, a study of the statistics of the exactments to which they have been subjected. shows the iniquity and avarice of the mother coun- try and amply justifies the Cubans for their Inng com- tinued struggle to free themselves from her grasp — £. struggle seriously begim in the first of their great revolutions in 18()8, and ending successfully, through the Samaritan efforts of the United State.?, thirty years later in the second revolt. In the mind of the American people, the event which caused hostilities between this country and Spain was the destruction, on February 15, 1898, of the United States battleship Maiiir in Havana har- bor: but the war had been coming for some time be- fore that incident. The cruelties of the Spanish authorities toward the Cubans, hardly precedented except in the history of Spain toward the helpless peoples who have fallen imder her power: the impo tency exhibited by the dons in their efforts to subdue them; and the continued menace to our interests which this long drawn out contest brought about — these things inspired various resolutions in Congres.3 looking to armed intervention. Even if the Mniiii had not been destroyed the war would undoulitedly have materialized. The leport of the naval court ap- pointed for the purpose of inquiring into the cause of the catastrophe, finding that the ship had been de- stroyed by the explosion of a mine — seeming to throw the responsibility for the crime on the Spanish government — merely hastened the conflict. The war spirit after the report became general. "Remember the Maine'." was the slogan. Paity lines were erased, and the people as one man were for war. On April 3, 1898. Consul General Fitzhugh Lee was ordered home from Havana, and to bring with him all American citizens in the Cuban capital. Pres- ident McKinley sent his long expected message to Congress, asking authority to take measures to se- cure the termination of hostilities in Cuba, to secure in the island the establishment of a stable govern- ment, and to use the military and naval forces of the United States as might be necessary to carry out his policy. Congress acted promptly, voting a large sum to carry out the proposed measures. In anticipation of the war, the regular army was ordered to mobilize at Tampa, Mobile. New Orleans, and Chickamauga. Gen. Woodford, the American minister to Spain, was given his passports by the Spanish government. And on April 22 the American fleet under Admiral Samp- son sailed from Key West to effect a blockade of Havana and the northern coast of Cuba. Then came the President's ultimatum to Spain, demanding a reply on or before noon of Saturday, April 23, and a few days afterward his proclamation calling for 120,000 troops. On a joint resolution passing through both Houses of Congress, on April 25, it was signed by President McKinley, and war was formally de- clared, although four days previously the first shotted gun was fired, throwing a shell from t'le Uni- ted States gunboat Niis-hville across the bow of the Spanish steamer Biiriin yriitiini, the first prize taken by our blockading fleet.

The response to Presi- dent McKinleys proclamation was as prompt and en- thusiastic. The people were not a little moved by sentiment — the desire to avenge the execution of (5) COL GRACEY CHILDERS.

Crittenden anrl the slaughter of the crew ot the ill- fated Virginius. anri to put an end to the starving of noncombating Cuban women and children: but over and above all surged the resolution to punish Spain for the insult offered to the stars and stripes on Febi-uary 15. 1898. Then there was obliterated the imaginary line between North and South; sons of the Lost Cause and of the Union were actuated by the same high patriotism, and it could then be truthfully sung: " There is a cry tliut rises and swells ou every breeze— Xo Ifijjgards on the shore and no laggards on the seas ; From homes of Lee and Lincoln the patriot souls are seen— Thank God: the hind's united, the old flag waves serene' " And Tennessee? As had been her course since her admission into the Union in 1796, she showed by her enthusiasm her indorsement of the sentiment — "Our country, may she a-ways be right: but — our country, right or wrong!' All the States promised their quota of troops, btit even as early as April 20, this tele- gram was sent to the papers from Washington, prov- ing once more Tennessee's right to be called the Volunteer State: WA-iiuxGTo.v, April 20. — All day to-day letters and telegrams have been pouring in upon Secretary of War Alger from prominent citizens of Tennessee, offering their services in the event of war. Similar telegrams have been received by the Tennessee del- egation, which were duly forwarded to the war de- partment. So far more offers have been received from Tennessee than from any other State in the Union. Under the first call for volunteers Tennessee's quota was to be three regiments of infantry. The officers of the First were: Colonel — Wm. Crawford Smith. Lieutenant Colonel — Gracey Childers. Ma.1ors — Albert B. Bayless. B. Frank Cheatham, and John G. Maguire. Major and Surgeon — Richard A. Barr. Captain and Assistant Surgeon — R. M. Kirby- Smith and Percy Jones First Lieutenant and Adjutant — James K. Polk. First Lieutenant and Quartermaster — Andrew J. Duncan. Captain and Chaplain — Lewis J. Lelaud. The field officers of the Second were: Colonel — Kellar Anderson. Lieutenant Colonel — Thomas E. Patterson. Majors — Frank H. Deffrey. Mark A. Walker, and George W. Seay. Those of the Third were: Colonel — James P. Fyffe. Lieutenant Colonel — Daniel M. Coffman. Majors — William Brown. James W. Meeks. and Edwin C. Ramage. Under the second call a fourth regiment was or ganized, with the following field officers: Colonel — George LeRoy Brown. Lieutenant Colonel — Harvey H. Hannah. Majors — William C. Tatom, William O. Vertree-,. and J. Crum Epier. Two of the reg:menis — the Second and Third — were discharged Ijefore they saw active service in the field, and the Fourth was quartered awhile in Cuba, then discharged. While they were not per- mitted to take part in any of the battles between this country and Spain, or between our forces and the Filipinos, the soldiers were ready to fight like Tennesseans. and would have refiected glory on American arms. The First Tennessee Regiment was the earliest organized, the companies constituting it being Com- pany A, Nashville: Company B, Columbia; Company C, Nashville: Company D. Lawrenceburg; Company E. Nashville: Company F. Nashville: Company G, Waverly: Company H. Clarksville: Company I. Big Sandy: Company K. Springfield; and Companies L and M to be recruited from Nashville. On April 23 the National State Guard was ordered out. the order from Adjutant Charles Sykes being addressed to the various commanders throughout the State, and to those of the First Regiment. It was made in antici- pation of the President's call. The troops were to rendezvous at Nashville preparatory to being mus- tered into the service by Lieut. Samuel Seay. of the Fourteenth United States Infantry. There was bus- tle and excitement and enthusiasm then for weeks in the capital city. The regular troops were passing daily on the trains; the volunteers along the various thoroughfares recalled to mind the stirring days of 1861. and patriotism could almost be felt in the air! At length the companies were fl'.led. and the Ten- nessee troops repaired to camps outside the city limits to be drilled and to await orders to march to the front. The waiting to these heroic boys proved a sore trial, for they enlisted to fight and not to rest idl> in camp. Even the Governor of the State, Hon. Robert L. Taylor, became inspired by the war spirit, and the volunteers expressed a desire that he snould command them. The Daughters of the American Revolution, through Mrs. E. C. Lewis, on May 17, 1898, presented the First Tennessee with a flag, and soon after the regiment repaired to Cherokee Park to await further orders. i ORDERED TO SAN FRANCISCO « CHE order to move came in due time. Familiar scenes were to be forsaken, and the old blue skies of Tennessee were to be looked upon no more for months. In all this, despite their ardor, the Tennesseans found a trial, for it is no insignificant matter to clasp the hands of friends in farewell, perhaps for the last time, and to reflect thai in distant climes there would be lacking the ti lu'h of mother's, wife's, or sister's tender palm and th. love-light from loving eyes. On June 10 they folded their tents, and after an uneventful journey reached San Francisco, going into quarters at Camp ^^^^iT^^^^^B r > « *' ,3' ^ y w •^ ii <£ « S q: g UJ o Q ui _l I — I- I z UJ u. < o q: O J o o uJ THE FIRST TENNESSEE REGIMENT, UNITED STATES VULINTEERS. Merritt. Their reception at San Francisco was grat- ifying in the extreme. Camp Merritt proved an unhealthful place, how- ever. There was an increase of mild cases of bron- chitis and other maladies which were hard to fight on account of the foggy nights. As many of the Tennessee troops had surmised and predicted, it was found necessary to secure bet- ter quarters. Camp Merriam. in a beautiful valley of the Presidio, was selected. The climatic change was at once seen to be beneficial. In a short while the sick list fell off nearly fifty per cent. The citizens continued their good offices, and ev- erything glided smoothly with the exception of a few acts by unruly soldiers, who. however, redeemed any mttake they made, by their valor in tne Philippines. Orders were received more than once for the First Tennessee to proceed to Manila, but were as often reconsidered. Homesickness began to take posses- sion of many of the soldiers. As one of the officers said, "they wanted Manila or home." It seemed that they were not to take any real part in the war — were not to taste any of the excitement of conflict, or to gain any of the glory of victory, not reflecting that those also serve who only stand and wait. They were Tennesseans — and the record of tne Tennessee soldier is that when there is any fighting to do. he wants to take part in it. Time had developed the fact that there were mem- bers of the regiment who were immature, physically disabled, and undesirable for other reasons, and in October an order came from Washington to have them discharged. After an inspection made by Maj. Fields. 174 men were given discharges. Ii! the meantime, as stated, a number of the sol- diers had died in camp — none the less heroes be- cause they did not fall in line of battle. '• Kot alone is duty iloue.

Thousands of the citizens of San Francisco vvere on the dock to bid them good-bye and in this token of the esteem of the populace they forgot the harsh things said aboui them by the papers.

If the Carolines and the Ladrone Islands are not counted with the Philippines proper, however, there are probably about 1,200, The more important are Luzon, having 41,000 square miles: Mindaneo, 37,000: Samar, 5,300: Panay, 4,600: Palawan, 4.150: Mindoro, 4.050: Leyte. 3.090: Negros. 2,300; Cebu, 1.650, and Mashbate. 1.315. The Filipinos first appeared in history in 1509, but the islands were not discovered till 1521. The conquest of the islands was accomplished by a few Spaniards in the sixteenth century, and was held by them until turned over to the United States in 1S99. The natives were driven into an insurrection in 1S96 on account of the rapacity of the monks, and the revolt was directed as much against them as the Spanish government. Rents were raised so that the small farmers could not pay: they rebelled, and for the first time rich and poor, educated and ignorant, united in the common struggle against Spain. Their leader was Don Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, who has been giving tne Americans so much trouble. The war between the Filipinos and Spaniards had been interrupted by the agreement of the Spanish government with Aguinaldo and other insurgent leaders to pay them $800,000. and introduce all the reforms for which the Filipinos had been asking. C £ this money, ,$400,000 was paid into a bank in Hong Kcng. The insurgents considered it a trust fund to be held as a guaranty of Spanish good faith. Agui- naldo began a new insurrection soon, as the Spanish government failed to fulfill its promises. Nine thou- sand Spanish prisoners were held by his forces, and an army of 30,000 declared to be under arms. He claimed, even after the Americans had taken Manila, that he was the de facto ruler of the country, and interfered considerably in the administration of af- fairs there. Complications arose, and it was soon seen by those in a position to see that trouble was brtwing between the Americans and the insurgents. The expected outbreak occurred on the night ot Sat- urday.

Once more they tried the experiment, and were challenged and thrust back beyond the picket line. For the third time they approached the picket line maintained by the Americans. Corporal Greely challenged them, and then opened fire, killing one and wounding another, 'this was the signal for the first battle be tween the Americans and Filipinos — a conflict which the Tennesseans foreshadowed some time before in letters to friends at home. I PRECEDING FIRST BATTLE ti-<9:-e>B: «>«-«-=». e li .WITH FILIPINOS... BEFORE referring further to the first engage- ment between the Americans and Filipinos, a glance at the movements of the First Ten- nessee after its arrival in the Philippines will be given. There have been expressions to the effect that the Tennesseans have done nothing in this war worthy of record — an erroneous idea, certainly, having its inspiration in the execrable trait of humanity which gave rise to the scriptural maxim that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country. If we had no other proof of their gallantry, it would be sufSciently proved by the letter written by Gen. Otis in their praise. This letter was written Febru- ary 11, 1S99, to Gen. Miller, off Iloilo, and from it is taken this significant extract: The Tennessee Regiment has done some good fight- ing, and, should you place them on shore, will tak; the city of Iloilo without assistance from artillery or gunboats. They go down with enthusiasm gained here (at Manila) on the battle line, where they fought desperately. No greater tribute could be tendered. No greater confidence could have been shown the picked marks- men at King's Mountain, the soldiers under Jackson at Horseshoe Bend, or the troops who stormed and carried the City of Mexico a halt c. ntury ago. And while on this subject of dauntless intrepidity, we should not overlook two or three instances of individual courage happening during the war, which were topics for the whole people at the time of their occurrence. One was outlined in a cablegram from Manila. 'Near Jaro," it read. "Sergeant Clement C. Jones, of the Third Battalion, Tennessee Regiment, made a dash from the outposts across eight hun- dreds yards of open rice fields, forded a river, seized a rebel standard, and returned unscathed with his trophy, through a hail of Mauser bullets from the Fil- ipino intrenchmenls." Collier's Weekly, giving an illustration of the thrilling act, declares that it was the most desperate deed of daring the war has pro- duced. Anothei- v.as duiing a skirmish in Stpttmber. rear Naga, Island of Cebu, where Lewis Dorris dis- played laudalde hei'oism. The incident is bcSt given in the language of Logan Williams, a Tennessee sol- dier: • We all marched up into the town," he wrote in a private letter, tne place mentioned being Maurl- baurl. 'Finding it deserted, we put out our seniiiieis ana spent the night in a convent. At iU o'clock next morning four shots were heard, and our native sol- diers reported the insurgents advancing on the town. In a few moments we had on our equipment, and were advancing in the direction of the shots, our lighting foice being Zl Americans and about 100 natives. 7 oi. the latter being armed with American-made guns, the rest with spears. "When we had gone but a short distance from quarters, the captain ordered me to take one man and guard quarters. I had spent haraly two hours keeping men, weeping women and chiidien out of quarters when here came our boys hacK, and to my surprise and horror the detachment was headed by four men carrying a stretcher with an American sckiier cold in ueath. Then came another stretcner bearing a wounded man shot through the stomach. Then came a second corpse, my fiiend Adams, with a horrible gaze out of his half-opened eyes, showing h-; had died hard. Then a native latally woanded and five men slightly wounded. Then another of our boys slightly wounded, another with his canteen shot to pieces, and still another with iiis bayonet bent witn a bullet. Last of all came my old friend, Lewis Dorris, bent down imder seven guns and three p.iirs of bloody sidearms. He explained it all to me. "They advanced along a road running paral.el with the bay, built on an embankment some eight feet high, with water on both sides at high tide. About a mile down the road the water ceases on the land- ward side of the road and a bluff tmrty feet high rises, on the top of which the insurgents had their fort, built of rock, almost over the road. •■ThL= boys advanced, tiring into this, but re.eived no return Are, and had gotten right under it, intend- ing to climb up and take it, when a perfect shower of stones, bullets, and other missiles came from two cai;uon planted at each end and from the Remingtons and Mausers, killing one man and wounding half a dci.en more. "Capt. Walker, cool and deliberate, ordered the men to give it to them, but finding his fire ineffect- ive and tliat longer delay meant the de.ith of per- haps his whole force, ordered retreat. However, one man was killed and several wounded befor.^ shelter was gained. "In the midst of the most trying time and most galling fire, Lewis Dorris, one of our N.ishville boys, jumped down the bank, after retreat had been or- dered, and, taking hold of one of his fallen comrades, stood calling for assistance. And, by the way of pa- renthesis, will say, he will come home a corporal, promoted for bravery on the field." Before a month had passed after the arrival of Col. Smith and his Tennessee regiment at Manila, that officer began attracting the attention of his superiors. He was accordingly advanced by Gen. Otis to an independent command. He was assigned to the comiuiind of Cavite, and of all the troops sta- tor.ed there. Writing to Maj. E. C Lewis, of Nashville, under date of January 12, 1899, he said: "I have one of the battalion.-; (Cheatham si from I MAJ. B. FRANK CHEATHAM. NOW SENIOR MAJOR THIRTY-SEVENTH U. S V. THE FIRST TENNESSEE RE(3IMENT, UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS. 13 my own regiment, the battalion of the x'lrst Califor- nia Heavy Artillery, the Wyoming battalion of infan- try. Troop A. of the Nevada cavalry, and Battery A. of the Wyoming Light Artillery, including my head- quarters' staff and iiand- in all about 1.300 men. and. still being in command of the First and Third B.ittal- ions of my own regiment at Manila, tnis makes about 1,950 men I have to look after. Lieut. Col. Childers is in immediate command of the First and Third Bat- talions, which are reported, of course, from my headquarters as detached and stationed at Manila. " Col. Smith was ordered to Cavite to relieve Col. D. D. Van Valzau. of the Eighteenth Unitea States Infantry, who was designated for service in another section of the Philippine Islands. Cavite. to be spe- cific, is eight miles from Manila across the bay, or twenty miles around by land. The soldiers were not idle from their arrival. It was claimed that the members of the First had been kept largely in the rear, to restore order in the terri- tory taken by our troops, out this is a mistake. Lieut. James K. Polk is authority for the correction, and he also says that they had not done any police duty up to June 23, 1899. "The regiment." he stated In a com- munication to the Nashville American, "has done outpost duty continuously, each company being on such duty from once in two days to once in four days. These outposts are located along the Jaro river on one side, and between Iloilo river and the bay on the other. Along the lines we have built small blockhouses to protect the men from the weather and bullets, and for the first two months after we reached Manila, scarcely a day passed in which there were not small outpost skirmishes." Circumstances and opportunities bring out the best qualities of soldier and civilian. Dewey had long been in the navy; it required the war with Spain to show that he was a bulldog fighter. Lee had been for years in the army: it needed the exi- gencies of a great conflict to prove that he was the leading general of his time. If circumstances had not Intervened, neither of these heroes would have won his reputation. So with the First Tennes- see. Placed at the front, in the storm of shot and shell, it would have been heralded from the begin- ning of hostilities and made as famous as any regi- ment in the battles around Santiago. As shown, they were kept at Nashville and San Francisco for something near half a year. Arriving at Manila, weeks passed before they were given an opportunity to show their fighting qualities. Of course no criticism should be made relative to the forced inactivity of the regiment — the only Southern regiment in the Philippines, by the way. Gen. Otis was supposed to know his duty. It was plain enough, however, that "the boys ' were not underestimated, even by the general himself. His actions toward Col. Smith, as well as his letter to Gen. Miller, men- tioned elsewhere, abundantly prove this. But a time was approaching when the soldiers could show their spirit and receive the eulogy of the public. This was first demonstrated at Manila, in the at- tack made by the Filipinos. mENTION has been made of the opening clash between the Americans and insur- gents on February 4. 1899. The continuous battles around Manila were furious and bloody, the loss to the enemy being several thousand. All the reports of any length testified to the des- perate bravery exhibited by the First Tennessee. The regiment simply covered itself with glory. The Second Battalion. Col. Smith and staff, had been or- dered liack from Cavite only a few days before, dcubtless in anticipation of some kind of trouble. Perhaps a better idea of the conflict and the part the Tennessee troops took can be given by quoting from the letters of eye-witnesses. In a communication to the Banner, Lieut. Winston Pilcher says: "Sunday night. Lieut. Col. Childers and Maj. Ma- guire came in on a run from the city, and said there waf firing on the outposts out on the waterworks road, where the Nebraskans were. About that time ail aide dashed up. and in about two minutes Chief Bugler Embry was sounding 'To arms!' The men gave a wild yell of delight, and rushed into their ti-nts after arms. The regiment formed in the San Lucia road and waited for orders, and I, with thirty men, was left to guard the rag boxes and tents. Presently the regiment moved off, and I made an oration to the stars! All night long I stood out on the river front and listened. The sound of firing cyme in fiom every point except the bay. And it came from there, too, for the Monadnock and the Charleston were shelling the woods. I am not out or a still hunt for a hero's death, but I wanted to be with the regiment, "About 6 o'clock Sunday morning the regiment came plodding back, and every individual man was saying something that was not nice! They had been marched to the other side of the walled city, and had stayed there all night. At 8 o'clock I was relieved, and as I was going toward my tent (the firing had never ceased) I met an aide. To my query. 'What news?' h»i said: 'I'm going to send your Second Battalion to help out the Nebraskans.' I broke into a run, and bj the time the order to get ready came the battalion was ready to march, and the First and luird tearing their hair. "Manila is a much larger city than I thought. We marched five miles, and were still in town. As we passed the various barracks, those left behind yelled, 'Give 'em h — 1 for us, boys!' We were nearly out of the city, and were standing in columns of fours, when we heard our first Mausers. About a peck of them ripped through a bamboo hedge and — well, no living being can know what they sounded like unless he could hear them coming. It is demoralizing. "What we halted for was not long in coming. An artillery oflicer dashed back and ordered up the litter bearers, saying the colonel was killed. I did not know Colonel Smith was with us, and when I ran to th(> front of the column and saw the gallant old gen- tl( man lying in the road, I was horribly shocked. Adjutant Polk, Maj. Cheatham, and Surgeon Kirby- Smith were bending over him. He had fallen just as he turned into the road under fire, and we all tl'ought he was shot until late in the day. The word was passed down the line, and the men began to MAJ JOHN A MAGUIRE. MAJ W. J. WHITTHORNE MAJ A C. GILLEM THE FIRST TENNESSEE REGIMENT, UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS, 15 swear and dernand an advance, for they wanted re- venge. The knightly old gentleman was carried to the rear, and the word forward was given. "The colonel was in the act of giving Maj. Cheat- ham his instructions when he fell. and. outside of a general idea of the work to be done he knew noth- ing. We were to support the Utah Battery, which was hammering away 2,000 yards ahead. We had to cross the San Juan river on a high-backed bridge, the most exposed place on the tiring line, and the only way was in a column of forty-five. The gallant little Cheatham never hesitated, but ordered us for- ward. The Mausers, thank goodness, all fired high, were whirring, and the men were looking at each other as they marched along, when, just at the right ircment somebody yelled, 'Charge.' It was like new whisky. Every man threw up his head, gave a .veil. and then began a footrace in perfect order. We went over the bridge, dashed int® position behind the battery, and in less time than it takes to tell it Companies B and M were sending niggers to glory. We drove them back slowly, for they were brave lit- tle devils, and if they knew how to shoot we wouldn't be here to tell about it. We edged along, running them out of trench after trench, until we took the hill — which, by the way, is called San Juan. "The Nebraskans, who had been fighting thirty hours, were on our left, and had the bulk of tho fighting. They lost several men in this advance. We rested awhile at the insurgent headquarters, then formed a long line and attacked the San Phillipe con- vent, which is practically impregnable; but we had little trouble, as the yellow boys had been hit too hard on the hill. The campaign the rest of the day took on the form of a rabbit drive. They would lie in ambush and shoot a few rounds, and would be dropped by our marksmen when they tried to get away. I hear we drove several hundred across the river, and saw more dead ones than I care to think of. We spent the night in the convent. "The Tenness3e troops did not seem to have even a little shyness nor excitement. They laughed, and most remarkable of all. preserved perfect fire disci- pline. My company, I know, never fired a shot with- out orders, and the officers of tne others say the same. The only trouble was keeping some of the men behind the line, they were so anxious to see and do something. John Bass, the celebrated war cor- respondent, who is doing the campaign foj- H r Weekly, was with us all day. He said nothing for quite awhile, but finally told me he never saw such coolness and discipline. He told me confidentially that he was betting on our going to pieces when we crossed the bridge, but he now knew the men would go anywhere. He was surprised at the shooting, for we killed some on the run at 2.000 yards. "Some one asked Maj. Cheatham who had shown the best nerve. He replied that there was no be.st. that he had watched every one. and if he was asked to recommend a man for the bravest he would have to send the battalion, as they all looked alike to him." Another account was given by Lieut. Robert Mi- lam, in a letter to his father, who resides in Nash- ville: "We went with the determin-dt;on," he wrote. "to carry hon affairs around Manila, but the death of Col. Smith cast a gloom over them. He was a capable ofiicor. was loved by his men, and would have greatly distinguished himself had he not fallen so early in the engagement, a victim of apoplexy. it may as well be stated here as further along CAPT NICK K GIVENS CAPT.

Miller had been waiting for weeks in the harbor; and on the morning of Febru ary 11, although the last regiment ordered ashore. It was the first to make a landing. The insurgents protested against the landing of the Americans, consequently the place was bom- barded. A 6-pounder thundered from the Frtnl. and the city was immediately set on fire by the natives. Then followed other shells from the Petrel and the Chartcston. A party of sailors and a portion of the First effected a landing, beating the Eighteenth Regulars ashore. They landed from small boats, jumping into the surf, and wading. Rushing into the cit:^, fighting as they went, they succeeded in saving a part of It from the flames. "After the fire died down," wrote a Tennessee boy, "the scene along the beach was awful. Bodies of dogs, cats, horses. anO a few men and women were lying here and there — some burned, others killed by shells and bul- lets. Spanish families standing here and there, weep- ing- over the ruins of their homes, but greeting us A\'ith smiles, their streaming eyes begging us to take vengeance. We took It. We are holding down a Uring line four miles long (two regiments and a bat- tery of artillery). We may have another fight, but I doubt it. though we are occasionally worried by sharpshooters. Two regulars were killed over the river by sharpshooters over a mile away." The following is an extract from Lieut. Col. A. B. Bayless' account of the way the First occupied its time from the taking of lloilo to about June 1: "Siuce the taking of lloilo our regiment, or detach ments of the regiment, have taken part in all battles or skirmishes that have taken place here, and if you are not too weary, I will give you a short account of what has happened since February 11. "On the morning of February 25, four of our com- panies marched to iMandurraio, which is locateu be- tween Molo and Jaro, not in a direct line between these two cities, but some distance further into the interior. While the command was resting, Lieut. Milam was sent out in cnarge of a scouting party, and in about an hour one of the scouts returned and reported that the enemy nad been located about one and a half miles out. Two companies were sent Tip the road and two made a direct attack on the in- .surgents, who were founa to be occupying three lines of trenches. Without going into details, the insurgents were driven out of their strongholds with many casualties in their own ranks, while our troops suffered none whatever. While in this case, as in every battle our regiment has been in, each and every ofticer and man did his part well, however the circumstances in this particular battle were more fa\oral)le for Capt. Hagar (Company E) and his com- pany, and Lieut. Milam and his scouts from Company C, to do most of the work. "Shortly afterwards we returned to Mandurraio, remaining there until after noon, when we re.urneu to our barracks via Jaro. "On March 16. the battle of Jaro river was fought, principally by Maj. Kellers battalion. However, two other companies of the Lighteenth. as well as B. C, L. and M. of our regiment, participated. Our battal- ion was first intended as a reserve to the Eighteenth, but, as luck would have it, the insurgents were some- what loath to retire. Therefore, Gen. Miller ordered our battalion into the firing line. and. as usual, they behaved only as you would have them. Only two of cur men were scratched, and these did not even go on sick report the next morniug. Some had their gun stocks shattered. One man in Company C had his hair parted 'Sam Jones' style by a Mauser bullet, it passing through his hat e.\actly in the center. "On April 1 we had tjuite an excursion to Oton, which is up the beach about eight or nine miles from lloilo. Three companies, under Cheatham, were placed aboard tugs and sent to a point one and a half miles above Oton, while I. with three companies, accompanied by Capt. Bridgman and a platoon of artillery, went overland. I have no hesitancy m stating that the plans mapped out by Col. Childera were most admirably executed. Cheatham and my- self connecting at the exact time appointed, and swooping down upon the town of ,faro, to the utter dis.may of the inhabitants. However, the insurgent army had vacateu the day before. The trip, although unsuccessful in its main reasons, was successful, as we captured telegrams, letters, documents, maps, etc.. which afterwards proved beneficial to tiie com- manding general of this district. We returned to our barracks, tired and dusty, in time for dinner. "On April 17, I went to ftianila on board the Petrel, which was convoying thirteen gunboats bought from Spain, was most royally treated by all the otflcers, and enjoyed the trip immensely. It has always been my desire to be aboard a man-of-war in time of action, and my desire came very near being gratified, and. in a manner, it was, for the reason that one of these Spanish gunboats — which by the way, were nrmed by the insurgents — tried to give us the shake, and started off at full speed in the opposite direction. No sooner had the quartermaster reported this lact to the officer of the deck when call to quarters was sounded, and in a very short time the 6-pounder brought the runaway alongside our boat. "In lloilo. at the present time, we are only holding our lines, making no advances whatever, as such are our orders. The work is not as hard as the active campaigning would be, especially in this country at this season of the year, but at the same time it is very tiresome and irksc me to do nothing, as we are anxious to get out and have a good rabbit hunt." As the fighting around lloilo about the middle of March, referred to in Lieut. Col. Bayless' letter, was severe, the account of the New York Herald will be appreciated The dispatch to that jniu'iial stated: "A battalion of the Eighteenth Infantry, a i)latoon of the Sixth Artillery, and the machine gun battery made a reciuuiaisance in the direction of Mandur- raio and Santii Harluir.i. Thur.sday. While they were returning the insurgents attacked the outposts on the right. Although fatigued from marching in the THE FIRST TENNESSEE REGIMENT, UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS. 19 broiling sun for two hours, ttie entire command pro- ceeded to tiie assistance of tlieir comrades, the artillery pouring shell and shrapnel upon the insur- gents, who were strongly intrenched in large num- bers. "Companies C, H. and K. of the Eighteenth, de- ployed to the right, driving the insurgents back, and then wheeling to the left, made a junction with Companies B and I, A heavy engagement ensued. Companies B, C, M, and I, of the Tennessee Volun- teers, Maj, Cheatham commanding, arrived later and formed un the left, and two more companies of the Eighteenth marched from Iloilo to act as support to the other troops. Col. Van Valzah and Maj. Keller commanded the battalions of the Eighteenth Regi- ment. "Gen. Miller was on the scene early, and directed tho operations from immediately behind the fighting lino. He had several narrow escapes. "The line advanced by rushes 3,000 yards under a hot fire, pouring in deliberate volleys upon the ene- my's position, the artillery making good practice, "By the time the forces were within 300 yards of the enemy's final position, darkness fell, preventing the charge, for which the Tennessee men and the companies of the Eighteenth on the right had al- ready prepared by fixing bayonets. The retirement upon Jaro was accomplished in good order. "The engagement was brought on by the persistent attacks upon the outpost at Jaro bridge. Nothing could be gained by forcing the enemy further back, as it was impossible, with the limited number of troops, to hold the position. "The American troops were exhausted by the fight- ing and having to wade knee deep through the rica fields and sugar cane. There were several cases of prostration by the heat. "The severity of the engagement may be judged from the fact that the Eighteenth Regiment alone fired 62,800 rounds. It is estimated that the insur- gents, with their more than 2,000 rifles, fired more than double our total ammunition, "It is impossible to tell accurately the insurgents' losses, as the American troops converged at a given point without traversing the grouna shot over, out on (he day after the battle I could see from Jaro belfry the enemy carting away the dead. The mini- mum estimate of their losses is 200 killed and 300 wounded. "The evolutions were prettily executed and the highest credit is due the battalion and company com- manders. The men are chafing at being robbed of tho fruits of their victory. A charge would probably have resulted in the capture of the enemy's arms and ammunition, but from the configuration of the ground and the position of our troops, it was impos- sible to allow an advance in the darkness. The behavior of the troops was admirable." M, Twenty-third Regular Infantry, all under the command of Capt. W. H. Allaire. A month later Jim Duckworth, the American correspondent, gave the information that four companies of the regiment — A, C, H, and K — were in Cebu, 300 miles south of Iloilo, having left the latter city on June 13. Still later, September 17, Lieut, Pilcher informed the Banner readers that Companies A, B, and C were at Pasig. while Company G was at Taguig. They were certainly moving sufficiently among new scenes to keep their minds off of home, but the rumors which began to be heard aroused the feeling of homesick- ness once more. What should we expect, then, un- der the circumstances, but to find Lieut, Pilcher's communication ending with somewhat of sentiment? "Yes, the old regiment is going home," he says. "But you give them a good time, and ring the bells loud enough for those to hear who are lefc behind. The regiment has contributed its share of those who are 'absent, but accounted for.' Every stopping place has its little squad of Tennesseans who have heard the soldiers' last tattoo. Presidio cemetery, Pecos cemetery, and the Protestant cemetery, at Iloilo, all hold members of the light-hearted crowd of boys who left the State with yells and cheers over a year ago. Don't forget them. The number will be in- creased before this little disturbance is over, for 200 of the boys have stayed behind because they are needed, and all of them are not going back." m= ... SCOTLTTITVlCx ... Cebu, Pardo, and Other Points & Ei= CHE soldiers of the First saw considerable serv- ice in detached companies after the taking of Iloilo, but the excitement — with the exception of that experienced in the battle described by the New York Herald correspondent — was not great. Under date of June 2S, the correspondent of the Nashville Banner wrote that Company H was at Pardo, Cebu. The detachment was with Company I THE HOME-COMIXG 7 I AXl) SO]ME EULOGIES | flFTER about sixteen months' absence, the First Tennessee was to return. The brief chronicles herein give only a hint of what they accomplished in those months, and what they underwent. Could the imagination do justice to those soldiers who left home with its com- forts and loved ones to offer their lives on the altar of their country — were we enabled to feel all they have felt and comprehend the contests they have had with Death, and stared him down — we would be willing to make their home-coming the occasion for an even grander demonstration. The definite announcement of the return of the First Regiment was made in a dispatch from Manila, under date of October 7. The advices read as fol- lows: "The Tennessee Regiment, the last of the volun- teers, will sail for the United States to-morrow, on board the transport Indiimn. after a week passed in the harbor. Most of the year these troops have been stationed in the southern islands. Their colonel says they are in excellent health, and nave been much benefited by service. Six hundred and sev- enty-three will sail. Three officers and ninety-one men remain to enter into business here. Sixteen I CAPT SHEFFIELD CLARK 3. CAPT.

VOLUNTEERS. 21 officers and 165 men hare been discharged for re- enlistment. Two men were killed in action, and one killed accidentally. Chaplain Leland and seven men died of disease. But here is another incident of patriotism which add.« additional glory to their career: The Indiana was sent south early in September to collect the legi- ment. detachments of which were in lloilo and Cebu. A portion were picked up at the former city. Pro- ceeding to Cebu. it was learned that the insurgents had gathered in force among the mountains near that city: whereupon the regiment volunteered and were accepted to assist in driving the enemy from their stronghold. Here was the supreme act of valor. Be yond seas were their homes, dotting vale and dell. and along city thoroughfares: they could see eyes anxiously scanning the papers hoping to learn that they were coming back: they knew that parents" prayers were continually ascending to heaven for their safety. On the other hand, they saw an enemy of the country threatening the flag — and then they faced death once more for "'Old Glory." "The Presi- dent said that whenever he thought of those brave boys, he felt a lump in his throat and could hardly speak."" reported a local paper detailing the visit of the Tennessee aelegation to solicit his presence at Nashville on the regiment"s return. How could he liave been affected otherwise? And it was eminently proper that the Manila American should refer to them in these eulogistic words: ""When the First Tennessee Infantry sailed from lloilo for Cebu the soldiers of this famous regiment thought that their fighting in the Philippines had been done. But when they arrived in Cebu and learned that an engagement was about to take place, the Tennesseans eagerly volunteered to go against the enemy. Several of the companies had turned in their shelter tents and other equipage, but all they wanted was their rifles and plenty of ammunition. Krag-Jorgensen rifles were issued to the men of the First Tennessee Infantry, but no soldier knew better how to use their old Springfields. "The country was very rough: in fact, it was all ravines and ridges, except for one narrow and very beautiful little valley. On the mountain spurs which run down towards the sea. the insurrectos had erected a chain of forts, stretching around a semi- circle and commanding every avenue of approach. •'On an elevated knob, about 2 500 yards from the rebel works, a 3 2-10 gun belonging to Light Battery G of the Sixth Artillery had been planted. The hill- side was so steep the cannon was gotten into posi- tion only with the greatest difficulty. At first, cari- baos were made use of to drag up the gun. but when they came to the steep places the clumsy beasts were useless, and the gun was pulled up the sharp ascent by a company of soldiers. All this had been done be- fore the Tennessee regiment arrived, and when the necessary disposition had been made all was in read- iness for in attack. "The attacking forces moved on the insurgent front in three columns. "The first column went to the left, and was led by Maj. Maguire. It consisted of the First Battalion of the First Tennessee Infantry and detachments from the Sixth Infantry. "In the second column, which occupied the centre, was the Second Battalion of the Tennessee Regiment and Company K of the Nineteenth Infantry. This column was under the command of Maj. Whicthorne. an ofiicer who formerly served with great distinction in the Confederate Army. The third column was made up of the Third Bat- talion of the First Tennessee Infantry and more troops from the Twenty-third Infantry. This column icclined toward the right to create a diversion, and was under the command of Maj. Gillem. Col. Chil- ders. the commanding officer of the First Tennessee Regiment, was with the second column, and Brig.- Gen. Snyder posted himself with artillery, where he could overlook the whole field and direct the fighting to the best advantage. "In moving forward the Americans went up the ridges, which ran somewhat parallel to one another from the seashore back to the mountains. After some well-directed shells from the lone cannon on the hilltop had been planted in the insurrecto trenches, the three columns advanced under a fierce fire from ihe insurgent earthworks on ' the mountain sides above. This was on the afternoon oi September 22. The troops under Maj. Maguire encountered the fiercest resistance, and. inasmuch as the lay of the country deprived this portion of the attacking force or" the assistance of the other two columns, the men under the gallant Maj. Maguire had a very hard time of it. But they kept cool and stuck to their work until nightfall. Although they were fighting side by side, the Tennesseans seemed to be more lucky than their companions of the Sixth infantry. None of the Tennessee boys were hit. but out of the Sixth Infantry there were one killed and six ■ivounded. The side hills were so very steep that the wounded men were carried back with the utmost difficulty. The soldiers who were bearing away their dead comrade slipped and fell, and the body rolled down hill 200 yards before it stopped. "The Americans, who slept on their arms that night 'rnchored" themselves before they went to sleep. Most of the men drove their bayonets into the ground and then tied themselves to the shank, to keep from sliding down hill. ""Early the next morning the advance was resumed, and at this time the Americans were under fire from three different points. Sheltering themselves as best they could, they crawled forward up the rugged de- clivities and poured a deadly stream of lead into the insurrecto lines. Just as the worst of the struggle seemed about to begin, when no one doubted but what a desperate assault would have to oe made in order to take the insurrecto works, the Insurgents vamoosed. "".\mong the trophies which the First Tennessee cpptured at the battle of Cebu was an insurgent bat- tle flag, and the regiment also took the insurrecto arsenal. This was located back of the forts, and here the rebels had been manufacturing brass and zinc shells for their smooth-bore cannon. These shells were peculiar-looking things, being plugged with wood and filled with old scrap iron. "The insurgents suft'ered severely from the shells thrown by the cannon on the knob, and bullets from Springfield and Krag-Jorgensen rifles laid many an insurrecto low. "'Numerous newly-made graves were found in the rear of the fort, and in a bloody sack which the in- surgents did not have time to take away with them were found the remains of a Filipino who came in ctiitact with a 2-10 inch shell. "The capture of the insurrecto fortifications at Cebu was one of the most brilliant things that have been dene in the Philippine Islands, and all the troops who participated in the event are entitled to the greite = t credit. Of the detachment of the Sixth Artillery and of the men of the Sixth. Nineteenth, and Twenty- third Infantry, the Tennesseans speak in terms of the highest praise, and the best of good feeling pre- < _i 2 >- CD S a: < UJ < E 5 9 til >- Z UJ UJ o □ > — m CO - UJ o q; UJ THE FIRST TENNESSEE REGIMENT, UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS, 23 vailed between the regulars and the volunteers while they were down there. "When the insurrectos had been put to flight, and two companies of the Nineteenth Infantry held the mountain passes to prevent the return c£ the rebels. the First Tennessee Regiment reembarkea on the JiididiiK and came from Cebu to Manila, arriving iu the harbor on Sunday afternoon. The liiiliiimi will probably remain in port here for four days be- fore proceeding to the United States, and it is possi- ble that the paymaster will pay the gallant Ten- nesseans a visit in the meantime. The pay-rolls are all made out, and the boys have room in their pock- ets for $15,60, or any other amount that may be coming to them, "As the last of the volunteers to be mustered out, and as the only representatives of the South in the Philippines, as well as for their meritorious services and excellent fighting qualities, the Fa'st Tennessee Regiment is assured of an overwhelming welcome on its return to America. When the transport lit- (iidiiii gets homo, the whole American nation will hurrah for the First Tennessee Infantry." ARRIVAL AT SAN FRANCISCO ®H CHE fact that Tennessee is proud of the record made by her soldiers is evidenced by the enthusiastic way her citizens have gone about preparing a demonstrative welcome. Not only will they give the cordial handclasp, but a business position of some sort is to be secured for each member of the regiment. Committees have been organized for weeks, and all have gone about their duties and specialties as if in their lexicon, too, there was no such word as fail. A Nashville delegation to meet the soldeirs at San Francisco left on November 1. The delegation was made up of the following persons: B. J. McCarthy, Miss Mary H Cockrill. Mrs, H, F, Beaumont.

In among-st the city's bustle, out among-st the rural ways, These, "our boys," passed on unnoticed, in the uneventful days. Peace held sway and, all untroubled, half forgot that war's alarm Mig-ht yet roar about her pathway with the voices of the storm. But there came a day when insult was accorded to the flag-; As the tocsin rang out shrilly, who would recreant prove or lag? True there hovered in the distance prospects of a direful fate — But our hero-sons responded, fearless, stalwart, and elate ! Let us render them the homage that the regiment earned well Through the nights of anxious waiting, through the days of shot and shell. Liberty is not in danger whatsoever threat annoys. Long as she can have such cli.inipidiis as she has to-day, "our boys!" (51) I. WAITING THE TRAIN FOR SAN FRANCISCO ^T CHERJKEE PARK NEAR NASHVILLE. JUNE lO. 1898.
