Sergt. George Watts, of X troop, who
carries the sobriquct Of Buckshot, and
dignity enough for the whole command,
saw service under Farragut in the first
blockade. He began scouting Indians
in &c and was one of the guard Of the
Union Pacific railroad that fall. lie
served with Crock as his orderly, and
was in the big fight with Crazy Horse
on Powder river in &c. He was cor
rallied in the Big Horn mountains with
20 Others that summer. They had TO
leave their horses to draw the fire of
the Indians while they ran-ran like
devils until they fell painting among the
rocks as if they were dead. They were
wandering three days without food in
the mountains, and the sergeant was
mentioned in general orders Tor his gal
lantry on this occasion. While | was
talking with him hc opened before me
sheet of wrinkled parchment. II bore
the signature Of Grover Cleveland, pres
ident of the United States, and spoke

the rate Of two dollars month. Sergt.
Watts is now very gray. His tone is
low and confidential and has touch
Of modesty. His features are we'll

they carry suggestion Of the comeli-
ness Of his youth.
Sergt. Mike Ticrney, also of K troop,
Second cavalry, is an old-school Irish
man, OF the kind that one likes to know
better. He Is grizzled veteran Of %

He was in the first engagement with
the Cheyennes in Texas, under Mac
Kenzie, in rs. On November rs of that
year he was in the great fight with thc
Sioux and Cheyennes. He fought the
Apaches with Gen. Carr at Cibicue, A
T., August 80, 1851. He was one of thu
party who vert TO arrest the medicine

dead bodies Of their comrades and got
to Fort Apache afoot. He was in tht
Geronimo campaign Of 'S6 and was rid

"is one of the bravest men in the whole
service" and believe it.

at $6,OOO,00O from salary of $4,000
year.
The taxes are one OF the natives
standing grievances and the brutal
manner in which they are cxtorted an
other, but there are still graver wrongs
that have been put upon him. These
have crushed the manhood out of him,
and then when they could not be borne
longer, even at that price, they have
driven him into the hills and iungles
with the savage thirst for vengeance in
his heart. For the last half century he
has been struggling for some share of
freedom, revolt has followed close upon
revolt Indeed the struggle may be
said to date back 300 years, and to have
begun with the first occupation of the
islands by the Spaniards.
The royal government, through its
agents, has stamped on these insur-
rections mercilessly, and with an iron
heel. In 1876, for example, the natives
lost some 5000 Of their best men in
battle and by execution; six years
later, in another revolt, several thou
sand more were slain, while 600 men,
who had been most active in the re-
bellion were beheaded or shot at
Cavite. In 1896, secret order called
the Katipunan came into existence
amongst the Malays and Chinese,
the latter Of whom have always been
more or less active in the affairs of the
islands. The purpose Of the society
was revolutionary. Each member
took an oath ito remove by blood the
bondage of Spain.
The Spanards in some manner
learned of the society and its purpose.
and tEep commenced a long series of
trials that were burlesques on justice
and intended only to convict regardless
Of the evidence. Almost 5000 suspects
were arrested, examined, sentenced
and shot, In the single month Of No
vember there were 500 executions on
the Lunetta, the fashionable parade
ground of Manila.
These wholesale butcheries came to
be social events, and lent pleasant
variety to the otherwise rather monot-

ranges OF mountains traverse them

dure-clad peaks to height of from
5000 to 10000 feet above the level of the
sea- Their general character is dis
tinctly tropical; vegetation Of all kinds
flourshes to an excess. No winter as
we understand the term exists. The
year divides itself into three seasons,
the cold, extending from November TO
March, when begins the period of great
est heat, which lasts until June, and
gives way TO the rainy season, which
continues till November. During the
rainy season terrific tbunderstorms are
frequent, and the rain descends literally
in torrents.

great, but at night it is usually lifted
