They have all been in several skirmishes, the most noted being- that at the surrender of Cavite. An interesting- account of the surrender is g-iven in the Manila Times of March 10. Admiral Dewey sent a messag-e to the insurgent comman- der to the effect that unless the town capitulaled by 9 o ' clock the next day, the place would be bombarded. At 8:30 on the following day a flag of truce was hoisted, but in a very few minutes huge masses of flame were seen issuing- from several places in the town. It was useless to try to save the town, but Mayor Rice, who was in charge, g-ave the order to advance. By the time they reached the town it was a sheet of flames, and the men showed true American pluck in fighting- their way through. Captain Steer ' s command had a unique experience. Thrice they tried to advance through the different streets, and on each occasion had to retreat, owing- to the terrible heat that prevailed. At about 1:20 p. m., Battery D sent out a scouting- party, consisting- of Sergeants G. and S. and Corporal Fanning and thirty men, to try to locate the enemy. They advanced and covered a distance of over two miles when they located the enemy. They returned to the main body, and the troops went into camp at the old Spanish breastworks. On the 13th, the flag presented to Battery D by the ladies of Los Angeles was raised over the breastworks, and three cheers were given for Old Glory and the United States. The camp was named Camp Rice, in honor of the commander. They have been truly lo3 ' al to their profession, for it is reported that Mr. Davis is Superintendent of Schools in Manila and Mr. Weise is on the Board of Education. But the state of affairs is such that they, as soldiers, are no long-er needed in Manila. They are now on their way home and are more anxious to reach California than they were to go to Manila. We are awaiting them, and a right royal welcome they will receive. Peakl Grav.

An Indian Version of the founding of San Gabriel Mission. ONG ago, in place of the massive and imposing- house of worship, known as the San Gabriel Mission, stood a simple Indian altar which ma}- be remembered because of the many interestin j events which occured there. In those days, white men were scarcely ever seen in Cali- fornia, and so it happened that this part of the country was inhabited b} ' an Indian tribe led b} ' a chief called Pachi. They lived very simply, often feasting- on the flesh of animals which may have fallen in their reach. They wore colored beads around their necks, ankles and wrists ; feathers on their heads, and skin bands, holding- their weapons around their waists. Their worship was amusing- and crude.. It was the cus- tom to assemble at the altar every four weeks. One day the men and women met to dance around the sacred wall. They jumped and sang-, occasionally playing on their rude instru- ments. Sometimes part of the tribe clapped their hands at regular intervels, thus keeping time for the rest. After a while, Pachi, the chief, g-ave the command, ' ' Halt! Althoug-h their spirits had become g-reatly elated, every one, at his chief ' s word, stood in silence. They knew that the hour was coming for Zalti ' s offering to be chosen. Pachi g-azed all around him. He hesitated a moment and looking at one whom he knew possessed marked intellig-ence, a manly spirit, and wlio was capable of endurance, he selected Zau- cappi. Come to the center, Zaucappi, he said. You shall be our offering- to Zalti, the highest. You shall have all the en- jcn-ments of life and your wishes fulfilled, but in six months from this day, you shall be sacrificed. The Indians ag-ain beg-an their rejoicing. Zaucappi, proud because of the honors bestowed upon him, and ig-noring the darker side, lig-ht-heartedly joined in the merry sport. Clank, went their ornaments and charms, and away they yelled, sing-ing- g-lory to their Zalti, and praise to their com- rade. The months soon passed, and at last came the hour of
