miles, one mile beyond our outpost, as
mentioned above. Gan. Lawton is push

north. We kill a good many Of the insur-
gents, but BY NO means escape punish

with all its desolation, can be seen along
the Pasig river. Where year ago q
million people lived In comfort, and many
Of them In elegance, there Is nothing but
ru as, and not a soul there, excepting our
troops; palaces, gardens, villas and out
OF town residences all destroyed. No desc
lation In Georgia or the Shenandoah val

the desolation here. The country is fer

vegetation grows rank, as In all tropical
countries, but 1t Is all neglected at the
