There Is some reason for the desire of
the insurgents to kill every Spaniard
h a they can. either in battle or other
wise. for every insurEent who has been
captured during the war has been slain
by the S~paniards. and sometimes the
Killing has been cruel i'm the extreme.
There are instances where the prison.
ers nave been tortured. This accounts
Tor the apparent bloodthirstinnas Of the
Insurgents. They are not much blamed
by the American soldiers. In one Of
the attacks on the ouposts of Manila
Aguinaldo saved the American forces
from being slaughtered, according 10
the story told by MIR. Burns. The
Americans had been lUred into n posi-
ton from which there was but one
way Of escape. The Spaniards were
closing this one avenue Of retreat,
when Aguinaldo. although he had been
ordered not to advance until he re-
ceived orders. sent his men against the
Spanish column and prevented the
Hank movement.
Mr.. Burns says hat there are many
relics Of the famous May day fight of
Dewey. There are the wrecks Of the
Spanish fleet and the positions OF the
American vessels. the latter marked by
stakes. Dewey is the lido of the land
and sea forces and his management of
affairs has been admirable. There is
no one who does not cheer for him.
one Of the most interesting incidents
that occurred while Mr.. Burns was az
Manila took place soon after the mr.
rival of the first expedition, with which
the 2d artillery sailed. 1t was the cN-
