They made their first contribution of blood on August 13, 1898, on the occasion of the capture of Manila, in which they took a leading part, disputing with the First California Regiment the honors of the day, and in which they lost two men killed and had three wounded; and as late as June 10 they made the only volunteer regiment engaged in the movement agalnst Paranaque and Los Pinos, in which they had twelve men wounded, one mor- tally, among them being their lieutenant colonel C. M. Moses. he Colorado Regiment, with the First Nebraska. First South Dakota and six companies of the Tenth Pennsylvania, belonged to the brigade of; which their own colonel, Irving Hale, was made commander, and from the inception on the night of February 4 right through to the end, they partici pated in all the marching and fighting done by that now famous com- mander and his brigade. In the movement of February 5 from Santa Mesa, where the fighting began, ten miles to the east, to the pumping station, the Colorado hoys were on the left of the Nebraskas and followed up the enem with a vigor that would brook no halt or rest till the work was fully done. In these three days' fighting they lost three men killed and had six wound- ed. That their loss was not greater was due to the fact of their being ex- perienced woodsmen and mountain climbers. The number of the enemy who fell before their guns was very large in proportion. After the capture of the water works they made a part of the force which formed the guard for the station, for some weeks being under and returning fire every day and taking part in the several expeditions that cleared the enemy from Mariquina and the country around. When the movement northward toward Aguinaldo’s capital began on March 24, tuey took part in the three d fighting that immediately fol- lowed and that which came later at Miralao, Guiguinto and Malolos, and then in the march of Hale's brigade via Quingua on Calumpit and the assault and capture of the latter place, as well as in the movements later on the west side of the Rio Grande which resulted in the capture of S8an Tomas on May 6 and San Fernando on the Tth. After a short stay at the latter place they returned to the viecinity of Manila, and on June 4 headed a force of 4000 men under Géneral Hale in the expedition against Antipolo, Tay-Tay and Morung. .in which they rendered fine service leading the column across the roadless ‘country in the face of incessant fire of concealed insurgents until their object was attained and Morung captured. They were gone five days, marched and fought over sixty miles of hills, with a loss of but one man wounded. They returned to Mariquina on the 9th of June and on the 10th started on their last service, the movement against Paranaque already noticed. The regiment was mobilized at Camp Adams, Colorado, April 20-30; was transferred to Camp Merritt, San Francisco, May 17, and sailed on June 15 for the Philippines. Up to January 1, 1899, there had been a total enrollment of 47 officers and 1243 enlisted men. Of these there were eight killed, including the gallant Captain John 8. Stewart of Company A, and four mortally wounded. Thirty-three others were more or less severely wounded and fifteen died of disease, one was drowned and one committed suicide. s These losses with the discharges and re-enlistments in Manlila, leave the returning strength of the regiment at 46 officers and 1165 enlisted men. There has been but one desertion and but one dishonorable discharge from the regiment—a fine record. 4 .
