THE BoLo OF THE FIL1p1Nos
a Weapon Which Has Proved Inef-
hcient Against Our Troops .
and Their Arms.

A letter from Lieut.. William M. Copp,
of the Sixth illery, who is on the gun
boat Napidan in Laguna de Bay, gives
the following interesting information
concerning one phase of the fighting
with the Filipinos:
AN odd trait in the character of the
natives is that they never leave one of
their dead if they can possibly get him
away. They leave more now than they
used to, for this reason: Formerly they
had atleast fvesmenfor every gun. and
about Al All the these men were good for was
to carry away the wounded and dead,
although they were armed with bolos.
These weapons were very effective
against the 3Spaniards, as the bolo men
apparently cared nothing for their, own
lives, and the Spaniards did not have
the courage to stand when they
charged; SO, of course, they were cut
to pieces, the bolo being without doubt
one Of the most terrible weapons at
close quarters in the world. It is very
sharp and so heavy that it will smash
any sword in pieces that have seen.
They use them in the right hand, and a
long, heavy dagger in the left. I had
one Of the many amigos who could han
die the 1bolo go through the motions for
me, and it was truly wonderful. The
rapidity of his moves was such that the
eye could hardly follow them, and all
the time he kept a constant guard. The
bolo is to cut, no point; the dagger is
used to stab, no edge. When these bolo
men tried the same tactics on our meh
that they were accustomed to employ
SO successfully against the spaniards,
they were killed in large numbers, as
our men did not-run, but simply shot
them. Now so many Of these men have
been killed, there are fewer of them to
a gun, and they are not able to get the
dead away quite as well as they did for
merly.
IF your servant goes away for a day
or two, you can be certain he is with
the insurgents and in some fight. tits
too common to excite comment here
when an officers servant, who has been
absent several days, is found in the in
surgents uniform killed or is brought
into our hospital for treatment. IN. Y.
Sun.
