3 Another thing. You read in the papers that the American loss was very slight and that of the enemy very heavy. In a few cases this is true, particularly on the 25th of March, because on that day they stood their ground and we shot them like rabbits; but since that time they have put up a running fight and with few exceptions have given us decidedly the worst of it. They are armed with the Mauser which will kill at 2 miles while we are armed with the springfeild [[Springfield]] good for only 600 yds. We have to advance under a galling fire 1000 to 1500 yds and can't fire a shot; and when we get in range, the insurgent runs. Result. 3 to 10 Americans dead, 5 times as many wounded, and not a dead or wounded phillopena [[Filipino]] to be seen.
