SAMPSON TO BE RsIECH0
why tho Military order of Foreign Wars
Will Not Admit Him.

Rear Admiral W. Z. Sampson will
not be made a member If the Military
Ordcr IF Foreign Wars Of the United
States. it il said by members Of that
exclusive organization. The reason
ven is that he has not complied with
the rules Of the order relating 70 tho
admission Of new members. one Of the
strictest rules is that an applicant for
admission must file his record, telling
accurately every incident con-
nected with his active service IN any
foreign war. Rear Admiral Sampson
has not complied with this rule, and
for that reason It is said his applica-
tion for membership in the order VIII
10 rejected
Last winter the committee Of cOmpln-
ions of the order, Of which Admiral
Dewey is the most hoGored member,
selected Rear Admiral Sampson IN a
desirable candidate. Word to that ef.
feet was sent 10 him, and he responded,
heartily thanking the committee for its
offer to confer the honor Of member
ship upon him and announcing HIM
self a'candidate Then followed let
ter to the rear admiral, Just such as is
sent any candidate for membership in
the organization 1t asked for detail
cd account # the service performed by
him. and stated that this report Of
active service first must be passed upon
by a committee before the applicant
was admitted to full membership.
Since then Sampson has been silent.
1t is taken by the committee that the
rear admiral either does not care to
meet the requirements for active MEM
bership or has changed his mind about
becoming member At the next
meeting. it is said, the rear admira's
application for membership will be re-
jected
The Military Order Of Foreign Wars,
although young. is powerful and ex-
elusive organization IL was the or
ganization that rejected General Eagan
several months ago. General Eagan
had made application for membership
10 the Pennsylvania commaudery. II
WAS acted upon flvorably, and he was
accepted as candidate, with the
usual request that he send in his de-
tailed statement Of active service. Then
came Eagan's attack on General
Miles \ hurried meeting Of the COM
mittec Of companions for Pennsylvania
was called and word was sent to the
general that his application for mem
bership had been reconsidered and re-
jected. The state Communicates al
ways reserve for themselves the priv
ileges Of final action on person in
yited 20 become a member.
Though it is not known TO have the
slightest bearing on the Sampson case,
it is a fact that Rear Admiral Schley
is o prominent member Of the COM
mandery of this State. which com.
mandery Rear Admiral Sampson has
seemed to snub in his refusal to COM
ply with its condition for membership

FILIPIN0S HARD TO WHIP.
A Returned Nebraska Surgeon Says Volun-
teers Think Fighting Fl lipinos Not Jusu-
fed

Surgeon r. p. Jensen, Of the First
Nebraska Regiment, has returned to
Omaha, Nebraska, in charge Of Col.
Stotsenberg's body. lie has made some
rather startling observations on the
war in the Philippines, saying;
Il really do not see how we are GO
ing to whip the Filipinos presume
it is not exactly proper for me to say II
just now, but personally l do not re-
gard Abe present war justified, and that
sentiment prevails to a great degree
among our men. In fact, nearly all OF
them look at the matter in the same
light, and it somewhat dispirits them
to be warning against race which Is
fighting for liberty and independ
ence.
wherever we went we found pro-
clamations stating that the Fllipinos
were willing to die, but not to sur
render. They are inspired by what
they consider a great cause. and 1t Will
be difficult matter to conquer a peo-
pie fighting for independence.
1.-THE Filipino trenches are works OF
art. indicating that there are many ex-
perienced engineers among the natives.
These trenches are as high as a mans
head. and are so shaped that the only
way TO get the Filipinos out of them is
by storming or executing a flank move
ment. which is sometimes very diff.
cult.
1.-The first great movement in reverse
was failure, for the Filipinos are d
willy race and know something Of mil
itary tactics. When they retire they
burn their villages, so that no shelter
will be afforded their enemy. We
were often forced to mass our men on
account OF the thinness Of the lines.
This necessiated the abandonment OF
ground we had already taken, and we
would have to fight again over the same
ground when the natives collected at
our front.
There was really some hard fighting
at close quarters at times. l recall that
one of our men had his thumb bitten
off by a native whom he at length sue
ceeded in killing. This was while we
were storming the trenches at La Iona
Church. {"
