SCENE OF THE BATTLING.
Captain of California Volunteers De.
scribes Nature Of the Country.

| Chicago, March 29-G. p. Farrell, cap.
tain and assistant surgeon of the First
| California volunteers Is in Chicago. His
| regiment was the first to reach Manila
| last June, and the captain was in the
island of Luzon continuously until the
last week of January, two months ago.
He had unusual opportunities to study
the conditions in the islands. as he was
selected last October to make tour of
! investigation extending from Manila to
Dagupan.
He speaks Spanish fluently, and for
that reason was chosen to carry on
| many of the negotiations with Aguinal-
do. He has traversed the country where
the American troops are now fighting
and In speaking of the locality said
THE railway line extends up the mid,
die Of the valley along which our troops
have been advancing. The country in
which recent operations have taken
place Is very fiat and is simply sue
cession of ricefields. Between this val
ley and the sea is low range Of hills
and on the other hand is the coast
range of mountains, perhaps 5000 or
5000 feet high.
1.-THE ricefields are quite small and are
separated by bikes. so that they can be
flooded. 1t is an excellent country for
defensive operations. The natives can
use the bikes for trenches. retreating
from one to another, and then, in aban-
doning a position. they can flood the
fields and thus hinder the advance of
our men. have not seen it mentioned
in the dispatches. but have no doubt
that many of these fields have been
flooded"
What do you believe will be the ef
feet of the present campaign"
"There will be several pitched battles,
and then Aguinaldo's army will be dis
persed, but the American army in the
Philippines will have to contend with
the guerrilla warfare for several years
to come. The natives will not submit
even if the main body of the army is
demolished and scattered. Still, I do
not think the prospect is one that
should be alarming or distressing Our
army will have an experience in the
Philippines which will be exceedingly
valuable and make 1t all the more eff
fective in the future"
you met Aguinaldo often?"
For time met him two or three
times a day. He impressed me as a
very shrewd leader. He was exceeding
ly suspicious of the Americans, and l
found the greatest difficulty in getting
any information out of him. At every
interview he had one of his native Off
GERS with him."

Tennessee came out with flying

ing up beside the road, an insurgent
aim at Lieut.. r. 1t was short range,
the fellow having crept up to bush
at the road side-and the Liem rant
did not have time to shoot, but Brad
ley took a quick shot and killed his
man. But up sprang another and
would have finished Pat had not
Solinsky-bugler-tired at him (the
native), broke his arm and captured
him. SoIinsky Is about II and a
little bit of a fellow. A little later
on, Jones (mv Jonesl was going
atong wheua native sprang up with
IN ten feet of him and raised his gun.
Well, Jones happened to be from
East Tennessee, hence was quick
with pistol, and the next instant
the native lay on his back with the
whole side OF his head blown in by
a % caliber ball, and Jones was
walking off with his gun and car
tridges."
