Winchester rife, three reVolVers,- forty
eight carabao, eight horses and saddles,
two driving bulls ana three carabao carts.
Five horses and thirteen cara haO were killed
on account of being unmanagcahle.
I'm looking for a reason for the appar-
ent success of this expedition too much
credit cannot be given to the officers and
men under my command. Each and every
one Of them acted as though he was per-
sonally responsible for the success OF the
whole affair. and as though any shortcom-
ing on his part would spoil 1t all. Not a
erowI or grumble was heard during the en-
tire night. The men maintained silence. al
though they had many temptations and
much proVocatiOn TO do otherwise. but
each seemed to appreciate that one bad
break might spoil it all and acted as though
his life depended upon success. Lieut.. Mes
bitt marched on foot with the guide the
entire distance. and by his energy and
good Judgment kept the column moving
and contributed much toward success. He
also engaged the enemy with energy and
courage, inflicting great damage upon them
and posted his command with good judg-
ment, to prevent escape. Acting Assistant
Surgeon William l.. Wilmington. who
marched at the rear of the column by my
order. by his physical efforts and words of
encouragement did much TO prevent stray
Cling, which might otherwise have seriously
delayed the march. He used his horse to
assist tired men. He also exerted himself
with good effect in getting tired men to the
front after the. fight began. Battalion Ser
geant Major Bennett commanded detach-
ment of the command with courage and
efficiency. The work of the guide was a
most remarkable feat of it's kind. He
seemed to be possessed of the instinct and
power to see at night of the wild beast
which roams the desert and jungle on the
darkest night with unerring certainty. 1
recommend First Sergeant William j.
Shuck, Company X. 9th Infantry. and Cor
poral Frank s. Swan, Company K, 9th In
fantry, for such recognition as their con-
duct reported herein deserves. Their cour-
age and GOODNESS did much toward saving
life while engaged with the enemy. Lieut.
Evans report is inclosed herewith. He cap
tured a large amount of stock, which seri-
ously damaged the enemy"

ground, chickens, pigs and goats were

carry. We burned the town, thrty-one
houses, also about fifty outlying houses in

burned he jumped from one and rolled in
a cloth threw himself on the ground. He
dropped to the ground COVERED by several
rear guard and skirmishers around the
herd and three carts drawn by cariboo, on
one of which was the body of our dead
comrade, on another the wounded man. we
moved out OF the mountains into the val
ley, where each man was then permitted to
mount one of the captured animals and
rae the remainder of the way.
The command presented a remarkable
sight, such as was never seen before and
probably never will be again. Almost every
man earned one or more of some sort of
bandit weapon, spear, bolo, etc, and the
man VINO did not have a bunch of chickens

the exception. In this manner riding all
