Dur-\\ning the small hours of the morning the beautiful white of\\npeace times had been covered with war paint.

To avoid fric-\\ntion as much as possible, the Americans had been confined\\nstrictly to their barracks; and as no effort was made to in-\\nvestigate their capture or demand the release of the Ameri-\\ncans, the Tagalos felt emboldened, and more than ever con-\\nvinced that the Americanos would not fight.\\nAbout the middle of December Major Young was in-\\nformed by General MacArthur that the situation was ex-\\ntremely strained, and his officers were ordered, along with\\nthose of the other commands, to ride the country, so as to\\nmaneuver intelligently when hostilities broke out.

These\\nhad been constructed in the most approved scientific and\\nelHcient manner, and strengthened from time to time, until\\nthey were practically impregnable, if defended by first-class\\ntroops; but the most striking circumstance was that their\\nlines of trenches were a trifle over 800 yards apart, which was\\nexactly the effective range of the obsolete Springfield rifles\\nborne hj the Americans, while the effective range of their\\nMausers was 2000 yards. They were thus perfectly safe from\\nthe enemy s fire, while theirs would be just as effective as if\\nthey were 100 yards distant. Added to this was the fact that\\nif the Americans hid in their trenches they could be kept from\\neven firing by their sharpshooters, who could climb a tall\\npalm at night, wait for daylight and pick off every American\\nwho exposed himself; the smokeless powder used would not\\nreveal his location, while every puff from an American sharp-\\nshooter s gun would make him a target.

The\\ndanger from the fleet was insignificant, away from the shore,\\nand the diminutive pieces of the Utah and Astor batteries\\nwere of little use without horses and could not do very much\\ndamage to their first line of magnificent earthworks, and\\nnone to their second, if they found it necessary to retire to\\nthem, as it was manifestly impossible for cannon and with-\\nout horses, too\u00e2\u0080\u0094 to cross the intervening ricefields.

YOUNG.\\nOn the mustering in of the two batteries, the War De-\\npartment declined to accord to them a battalion organiza-\\ntion, or to appoint a Major, it therefore resulted that the two\\nbatteries were under command of the senior Captain, Cap-\\ntain Young, at the time of their muster in, during their jour-\\nney to San Francisco and at Camp Merritt, At the latter\\nplace the batteries were made up a battalion under Gen-\\neral Otis orders, and remained as such until the date of\\nsailing, June 15th. The batteries went on different vessels,\\nand so the battalion organization went by the board. They\\nremained segregated and under the command of their re-\\nspective Captains until the battalion was again formed by\\nGeneral Greene, August 25th. Captain Young, by reason of\\nseniority, was in command, and this relation he maintained\\nwithout further interruption than that occurring in the month\\n(Sept. 25-Oct. 25, 1898), when Captain Grant and he were on\\nleave of absence, until June 7, 1899. At the latter date Ma-\\njor Young was assigned to special duty as Associate Justice\\non the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands; Captain\\nGrant then assuming command.\\nCaptain Grant was detached from duty with the bat-\\ntalion February 17, 1899; remained continuously absent un-\\ntil the beginning of June, 1899, during all of which time his\\nbattery was commanded by Lieutenant Critchlow.
