INTRODUCTORY 
 
 HE United States having acquired the Philippine Islands, of which so little was known until 
 Dewey's victory, and of which so much has been written since that is unreliable, induces 
 one to turn to the pictorial side in seeking information, thereby correcting many untruths. 
 Represented in this production, to more fully familiarize you with the conditions 
 that existed when our troops first landed, are views showing the topography of the country, 
 the native Tagalo, their homes, business pursuits and conditions in general, while the 
 remainder of the illustrations portray the title, Our Boys in the Philippines," from the time of landing from 
 the transports; through stages of peace; at the outbreak and into battle, where they forced their way through 
 swamps in mud to the knees; charged across rice fields to trenches, from which the insurgents were pouring a 
 deadly fire, but never faltering; all of these scenes and many more are pictured. 
 
 Many cases of heroism on the part of officers and men alike were recorded, but to us the one who has 
 been struck down and severely wounded by an insurgent bullet and who bears up bravely under the pain to 
 continue on the firing line with his comrades, against their wishes, deserves the most credit. 
 
 Successful in every sense has been the work of the soldier, and in their behalf this work is published so 
 that those who stayed at home may get an idea of the hardships encountered in such a hot and trying climate, 
 under unfavorable conditions, where sickness raged and was as deadly as insurgent bullets. 
 
In placing such a varied collection of views before the public one must realize the difficulty of the 
 undertaking by running many risks when constantly on the advance line and exposed to the enemy's fire. 
 To be wounded, captured by the insurgents, lost in the jungles while tramping from one line to the other, and 
 short of rations are but a few of the many experiences. Therefore it is earnestly hoped that after perusing 
 the following pages you will be more enlightened as to the Philippine Islands, its people, and the War.

Admiral George Dowey The above Illustration from photograph' taken just before his departure from Manila Is considered by him to be one of the best 
 ever made. Though grayer than formerly he certainly shows little signs of ailing. 
 
Raising Admiral's Flag, U.S.S. *' Olympia *' The rank of Admiral, for the third time in the history of the navy, was conferred on George Dewey in Manila 
 Bay, March 4, 1899. Surrounded by the wrecks of the once proud ships of Spain, it was a fitting; place for such an event, and as the guns roared the salute 
 one could imagine himself again at the famous " Battle of Manila Bay." 
 

 Corregldor Battery From these guns Dewey received 'his first fire on the morning of May i. i&)8. on his way to destroy the Spanish fleet. The night was 
 dark: the "Olympia" and "Baltimore" had passed when flames issued from the smokestack of the "Boston." which warned the Spanish who opened tire 
 only to be silenced by the " Boston's" guns. After sinking the fleet a return ws made and this battery destroyed. 
 
California Regiment Embarking for Negros Our view shows the Pasig river with its queer-looking craft in the foreground, called cascoes, while further 
 up on either side are the smaller steamers that ply between Oriental ports. This river is only of moderate depth but constantly choked with small craft, 
 while the larger ones discharge and load on the bay. 
 

 Headquarters, Manila Before American rule In the Philippines these quarters were occupied by trie Captain-General, among them being (enerals 
 Blanco and Weyler. The apartments are finished in the finest of carved mahogany, costly draperies and bric-a-brac. Connected there is a fine librar>'. To 
 the left of the picture are the barracks occupied by the California regiment. Fronting this are the famous Botanical Gardens, somewhat destroyed by the 
 Spaniards at the taking of Manila, but now nearly restored.

Firing in Streets o Manila The military authorities were constantly on the lookout for an uprising, but not until February i?th was there serious trouble. 
 Insurgents set fire to a large portion of Manila and firing became general from housetops and in the streets. To protect themselves our boys made hasty 
 breastworks in the principal thoroughfares and during the night one hundred and twelve of the enemy were killed.

 Burning of Aguinaldo'g Palace, Malolos On the morning of March jist the provincial capltol was taken, the insurgents retreating, leaving only men 
 enough to protect the rear and to burn as the American line advanced. General Funston and Company E. Kansas, were the first to enter the city. 
 
Philippine insurgents are mostly the Tagalo race inhabiting northern Luzon. Until the outbreak on February 4, 1899, the rank and file were well uniformed, but 
 since have worn anything they could get. Their loss in dead and wounded is frightful.

Advancing from La Loma Kansas, Third Artillery and Montanas advanced on March 25th to Tuliahan river across an open field with the insurgent trenches 
 at the other side concealed by bamboo. These were well made but taken with little loss, though dead insurgents lay in all directions. Another view shows 
 the dead across the Tuliahan river.

 without food for many hours, their rations being water-soaked.

Burial of the Enemy After an advance had been made it is not exaggeration to say that the ground was covered with insurgent dead.ufor two hundred and 
 sixty-five were buried behind the Kansas line after an advance of a mile, and, this is true of other regiments. The hardest work was for the details of 
 men sent out to scour the country and bury them.

Overlooking Pasi A picturesque spot among the bamboo and banana trees would lend enchantment at times, but to a soldier the sight of the enemy sur- 
 passed all others, as in this picture, the anxious faces of those in the foreground tell that a well-directed shot is to be fired by the famous Hawthorne 
 Battery. General Wheaton, sitting among the bananas, and Lieutenant Young of the Sixth Artillery, at his back, are watching the progress of the 
 advancing troops.

Signal Corps in the Field The branch of the army known as the Signal Corps deserves great credit, for they were constantly exposed to danger. During 
 advance of troops direct communication was had with all parts of the line and wire was laid as fast as troops advanced. This picture shows General 
 McArthur's orderly, Valentine, receiving message instructing advance on Tuliahan river. 
 
Skirmish Line Ahead of the main body of the army is stretched a single line of men and the brunt of the firing is directed toward them. These are the 
 lighting men and their position is most dangerous, but It matters not what Is ahead of them, whether mud, rivers or jungles, they force their way. slopping 
 only to fire from behind the rice dykes which afford little protection.

Commissary Train The greatest difficulty encountered in the campaign was to transport supplies to the vast army of men. aided only by caribou teams, as 
 shown in illustration. With poor roads and excessive heat, at times only three or four miles a day could be made. 
 
Artillery Charge on Malolos After Colonel Funston and his band of picked men fought their way through mud and water into Malolos, the artillery was 
 needed to dislodge the enemy before the line could advance. This picture shows Colonel Funston leading the way and the artillery following on their 
 famous charge, the Kansas boys to either side.

Pennsylvania Headquarters At the outbreak with hard fighting; the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment advanced to the La Loma church and constructed trenches. 
 Prominent in the group is the late Colonel Hawkins who was idolized by the men, he. being constantly on the lookout for their welfare. Death occurred on 
 Transport Warren, when nearing San Francisco.

 which were in the hands of the insurgents, were captured in- the roundhouse, the advance being made so suddenly that they could not be gotten away. 
 
Captured Ammunition On the advance to the south the Fourteenth Infantry and North Dakota loss was heavy ; the enemy being well-protected made stubborn 
 resistance and the trenches were charged. The dense growth made progress slow, but at Pasay, which was taken after hard fighting, large quantities of 
 ammunition were found, most of which had been taken from sunken Spanish ships. Several marine guns were captured, one of them showing here.

 as Infantry) and I'tah guns. 4 Blockhouse No. 4 at South Dakota front. 
 
Flanking the Enemy The men do not rush headlong to fulfill a command, but go deliberately at the task until they have the enemy well in hand then 
 lookout. Over two hundred dead were buried after this movement and our losses were three killed and seventeen wounded. 
 
Insurgent Dead as They Fell This view shows the result of American fire when the enemy make any sort of a stand. Companies E artJ H. Kansas were 
 within fifty yards of the trenches opposite the Tuliahan river before they were discovered, and the Insurgents left twenty-nine killed and one prisoner, our 
 loss being two killed and six wounded Guns and ammunition are destroyed as the army advance
