AN INTERESTING CHAPTER
OF the American Occupation OF the
Philippines.

'iii'Il''ff'f'-
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-The War De
paunent has made public a report OF
Captain b. r. Byrue. 9Th infantry. Civ
ing an account OF the attack and destrue-
ton of the bandit village I'm the La Car
lotta district. Island Of Negroes, last July.
The account is a very interesting chap
ter Of the American occupation Of the
Philippines.
This band Of marauders was entrenched
in the Businesses Of the mountains. They
were well organized and armed. All pre-
cautions had been made against attack.
On all sides which il was supposed could
be reached by troops the camp was guard
ed by block houses. Captain Byrne with
something over one hundred men went out
10 destroy this bandit camp. lie was
aware that It was necessary 10 surprise
them. and this could only be accom-
pished by approaching the camp from
the side which was deemed impossible
Of ascent
The march was difficult and the ap-
proach TO the camp was performed in the
night IL was reached i'm the early morn
ing and at once attacked. The bandits
largely out-numbered the Americans, and
We're lighting from behind cover. For
two hours there was a very desperate en-
gagement. and only the pluck and yalor
of the American soldiers enabled them
to secure the victory. The number Of
bandits killed largely exceeded the Amer
lean force. while there was no means Of
ascartaining the number of wounded
Finally those who could get away
escaped. leaving all their property be-
mind them. The village was destroyed
and also the property that could not be
carried away.
The men had climbed a mountain side
by night: they fought without their
breakfast against superior odds, and upon
an almost unknown ground. In closing
his report Captain Byrne says
in looking for reason for the appa-
rent success Of this expedition too much
credit cannot be given 10 the officers and
men under my command Each and
every one OF them acted as though 'he
was personally responsible for the sue
cess Of the whole affair"
Lieutenant-C Colonel VIM, commanding
the Seventh Infantry. made the follow
ing endorsement on the report. which IS
concurred in by Generals Smith, Hughes
and Otis:

The "SlRsher."

There is evidently foundation in TACT
for the public belief that some person Is
going about Washington cutting women's
dresses Reports of slashed garments have
been received by the police and have been
circulated privately in such volume and
under such circumstances that there can be
no doubt of the operations OF a crank or a
thief There seems to be, however no sign
of theft in any of the mischief In the alb
sence of such a motive the 'slasher's" case
must be set down to form of destructive
insanity. Such evil-doers are usually alb
normally clever in escaping detection. A
case in point is that of the notorious rip

committed the most daring and skillful
burglaries for months without detection,
thus displaying an uncanny ability which
for time completely baffied the police.
Assuming that this "slasher is Of the
same sort Il would seem to be all the more
important that the authorities should

there Is a good opportunity for a sly hand
to cut freely among the skirts. One of the
curious phases of the matter is that the
cuts are never deep enough to inf1ict a
wound, showing that the crank IS not in
spired by bloody malice.
The only remedy for this condition would
seem to be to establish special guards in
unofficial costume at these places of public
resort, where the dress cutter might be ex-
pected to operate This has already been
done in some measure. but the nuisance
