In Wheaton's brigade

~ was in Wheaton's brigade, and for a
week we had been on THE march. On the
18th day of March we attacked Guadalupe
church, which had been a stronghold of the
Filipinos, and captured it. We left a guard
there and moved on towards Pasig City.
We rested on the 14th and began the attack
on the town about 10 o clock the following
morning. AT in the afternoon the Filip;-
nos had fled and We marched in and took
possession.
ION the next day we were attacked at
Cainta, town near the Pasg river l was
in the first battalion, and as you know
this part of the regiment usually makes
the first advance. We were thrown out
in a line of skirmishers and began shoot
ing at the Filipinos, whom we could see
attired in white about a Thousand yards
away. The smoke of the battle soon be-
came dense that nothing could be seen.
Suddenly felt as If a dull blow had struck
me the leg and in a few minutes mad to
be taken to the ambulance. In this battle
there were two Americans killed and eigh-
teen wounded"

Birmingham is that of the Hirsch Dry
Goods and Millinery store 1912 Second ave-

their present quarters, which are more con-
yenient to the public, as well as more COM
modious, they have enjoyed an unprece-
dented trade their store being crowded
from morning until night with ladies seek
ing the latest in styles. 1t is highly crafty
ing 10 the enterprising firm to know that
their efforts to meet the wants of the trade

Talk About Otis Not True

INK ABOUT ObiS NOT rue
Kelley says that the wounded soldiers
were given the very best of treatment, and
he never heard one word of complaint dur
ing the entire time he was ill. He says
that the talk about the officers and men
being dissatisfied with Otis is not true. 81
have never heard a word of complaint by
either the officers or men against the COM
handing general. OF course we only re-
ceived orders from our captain, and knew
not from whence they came"
Private Kelley describes the Filipinos
being very dark, but in no wise resem-
bling the negro. He says they are very
small in stature, but of athletic build, and
can run like a deer.
'They have coal-black hair as straight as
an arrow and as glossy as IL 1t had been
Oiled" continued the soldier. ''They are
not as barbarous as has been written, and
those I saw in the hospital said that they
had rather be at peace than war. Their
language is easily Learned, and we could
converse with them very intelligently. The
language is a mixture of everything, and is
nothing like Spanish.
There are two classes of the Filipinos;
the rich ones in the cities and those living
the Americans, and want peace. In COM
plexion they are somewhat lighter than the
negro and are very intelligent"
Great Cigarette friends
Kelley says that as a rule the Filipino
soldiers are great cigarette fiends. and are
continually putting tobacco smoke. He says
the houses IN the towns are built OF bam-
boo, and are usually two stories high. The
principal business engaged in is the manu-
facture of cigars and cigarettes.
He says that tlhe uniform of the Filipino
army is pure white, and that their bright
dress furnishes a fine target At night
they can be seen hundred yards before
approaching the outpost.
81 left Manila on the transport Morgan
City-the same boat that went down on the
return trip" continued Mr.. Kelley. I'VE
went through the inland sea to Japan, and
l saw some of the prettiest scenery L have
ever gazed upon. We stopped at Yokohama
and Nagasakia. All along the Japanese
shore can be seen immense rice and melon
FARMS In fact, all kinds of vegetables are
grown in abundance"
Kelley has an honorable discharge of the
highest grade from both he First Alabama
Volunteer regiment and the Twentieth
United States infantry. He says that his
stay in the Philippines was far more en-
joyable than his trip to Miami
Private Kelley will draw a pension for
three-fourths disability, which will amount
to something like $40 per month. He is a
plumber, and will live with his parents in
this city.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Hot Against the POlygamist Sen.
8tOr From Utah.
(From Our Regular Correspondent)

(From Our Regular Correspondent)
Washington, December 1.-The
Roberts case threatens TO over.
shadow everything else before
congress until it is disposed of.
Everybody is talking about it.
That he will have to 60, seems
the general opinion but just how
he will be dealt with, is where
the differences come in. 1t is
understood that Miss Helen Gould
is furnishing the money to pay
the expense incurred by the EN-
ployment of eminent legal coun-
sci by those who are making the
fight on Roberts. There has been
some talk of depriving Utah of
all representation in congress,
because of its having violated the
pledge under which it was admit
ted to the Union, by electing a
polygamist to the house. That
was probably what prompted
Senator Rawlins, the only Sena
tor from Utah, who is not a
polygamist, to announce his in.
tentiOn to offer a resolution as
soon as the senate meets provid-
ing for an investigation by the
senate to show whether there has
been any violation Of the pledge
under which Utah became a state.
Mr.. Rawlins asserts that the
president has appointed polyga.
mists to Federal offices in Utah,
and wants to know why that was
not as much a violation Of the
pledge as was the election of
Roberts. The senate is interest
ed in the case because of the
statement that if Mr.. Quay is
seated, the governor of Utah will
at once appoint polygamist TO
fill the vacancy in the senate
from that state. 1t is said that
this will result in deferring action
on Mr.. Quay's credentials until
the house disposes of the Roberts
case.

Belated dispatches from the scene Of
