OUR SOLDIERS IN LUZON.

MANILA, April 17.-While
Aguinaldo's motley crew is
shooting down it's soldiers from
behind trees and skipping for
ward like fleas before the Amer
ican advance the great and
generous United States gov
ernment is feeding the starv-
ing Filipinos whom the insur-
rection has left destitute. The
native men are forced into the
insurgent army as it retreats,
their food is taken, their huts
are set on fire and the women
and children left to starve or
shift for themselves like super
fluous cats. The United States
army gathers these up as it
proceeds, brings them into Ma
Mia and feeds and shelters
them. Besides this, the Amer
ican authorities are distribut-
ing cargoes of rice among the
destitute natives in provinces
outside of Manila. Aguinaldo
has cut off their subsistence.
These natives in outside prov
inces are reported anxious to
come under the sheltering folds
of the American flag.
It is not known certainly to
this day, probably never will be
known, whether the insurrec-
ton broke loose as the result
of a carefully laid plot or mere
ly as the spontaneous culmina-
ton of misguided Filipino am
bition. 1t was sudden and not
generally looked for. That
much is certain. A company
of American regulars on duty
at one of the extreme outposts
observed all at once a man in
the uniform of a Filipino SER
geant running from house to
house among the natives. He
seemed in a state of strong ex-
citment. They watched him.
Soon shots were herd. Imme-
diately the general call to arms
rang ominously through all
Manila. This was between 8
and o'clock the night of Sat
urday, Feb. 4.
The effect was electrical.
Soldiers off duty and bent on
pleasure in the city rushed
pellmell to quarters. In the
streets our men knocked the
native cab drivers and coach
men off their perches, seized
their conveyances and tore like
Jehu for camp. For the next
"a hours there was as hot a
time in this old town of Manila
as any city ever saw. In less
than no time a skirmish line
of soldiers standing four feet
apart was thrown out around
the whole city. It was actually
~ miles long. Fire, shoot,
punch, prod, club, was the or
der of the day wherever a hos
tile Filipino showed his head.
Many of our soldiers remained
on duty 18 solid hours engaged
in business like this. When
the shades of evening fell on

But standing up still and
being shot at under orders-no!
Excuse John, if you please. l
have even heard that when he
goes into battle he drops upon
his knees and beseeches joss
to bring him out alive.
Impelled equally by ignor-
ance and desperation Aguinal-
do goes on his fate. He has
his Chino-Philippine advisers
cause stupendous lies to be cir
culated among his men. The
most gifted artist in the field
of sensational journalistic lying
would turn green with envy
before the efforts of Aguinaldo
newspaper men. After our oc-
cupation of Malolos, the alleged
capital of the insurgents, some
of the soldiers picked up copies
of paper printed in Spanish
and purporting to give report
of the fight the day before. In
that remarkable report it was
"estimated"-observe that fishy
familiar word "estimated"-
tkat the Americanos had
28,OOO men engaged in the Civ
en- scrimmage and that of these
they lost not lsss than 5000
5000 out Of $4,000! The report
ended with the following re-
markable observations printed
in scare lines: "Hurrah for the
Army Filipino! 'Rah for our
general in Jesus"
Odd scenes the American
soldier stumbles on here. To
them soldering in the Philip
pines will be a liberal educa-
ton. One of these queer
sights to be seen here is at the
Paco cemetery. The Spanish
priests made the Filipinos pay
their way even after they were
dead. In the Paco cemetery
the body of a departed native
was allowed to rest peacefully
in a grave so long as his sur
viving relatives paid stated
sum regularly. His body be-
ing at rest, his soul was conse-
quently likewise at peace.
If, however, the tax was
skipped or neglected at the
appointed time, then the poor
creatures bones were inhospi-
tably hustled out of the earth
and ignominiously cast upon
the common heap. Thencefor-
ward the defunct ones. soul
wanders. through the shades of
everlasting distress. It looks
as if the dead and gone Filipi-
nos deposited in this heap
would have rough time get
ting their bones together on
resurrection day.
The river Pasig flows through
Manila and is crossed by bridg-
es. The wealthiest place of it's
size in the islands is said to
have been the town of Pasig, a
suburb of Manila few miles
out. It wac occupied recently

The Redwood gazette., 1899-06-28

Sunday, Feb. 5, $500 hapless
Filipinos lay dead and wounded
in and about Manila. Here
ended Mr.. Aguinaldo's first
lesson.
With hardly a days inter
mission the lesson has been
continued every since. Even
to those administering it the
cost has been heavy. We may
hope that by the time this
reaches my readers the story of
blood and death will be ended.
1t probably would not have
continued so long only that
Aguinaldo has with him those
who know more of fighting
than he does. He has in his
camp soldiers from the late
Spanish army. Many of these
were caught and forced with a
gun at their heads to join his
army. To the shame of their
country it must also be record
ed that 1.-THE insurgent leader
has among his counselers two
or three men who formerly be-
longed to the American army.
They had been dishonorably
discharged from our ranks
Burning with rage and the de-
sire for revenge, they went
over to Aguinaldo. Perhaps
there was not much else left
for them to do.
How many men Aguinaldo
has it is hard to say. One esti-
mate puts the number as high
as 100000. If he ever had SO
many, he has them no longer.
He has raked and scraped the
earth for them. Doubtless you
at home have read that large
tale of how Manila was laid in
ashes by the insurgents. The
only firing of Manila was done
be the American soldiers under
orders.
Among the dead of the Fill
pino force our soldiers have
occasionally come upon the
bodies of Cinnamon, poor
wretches lying with their toes
turned up and their cues wrap
ped around their shaven skulls.
These were men of peace, inof-
fensive washermen, vegetable
gardeners and peddlers, forced
with gun and knife to swell the
ranks of Aguinaldo's host. The
idea would be laughable only
for the sadness of it. Anything
in this life the Chinaman can
do except stand up and be fired
at. There he becomes the mer-
est rabbit. His forte is to earn
money. He will even face
danger in this favorite persuit
if he is not actually obliged to
play soldier. Many Cinnamon
are attached to our army as
hospital servants. In this ca
pacity they must gather up the
wounded upon the field and
cary them to the hospital. Here
as always they are faithful to
the duty they are paid to per
form. They even show con-
siderable bravery in darling
