Found Under the Floor of His Cell
Mt Snn ISidro.

Mt San Isidro.
San Francisco. July 19.-At the fall of
the last Filipino capital. San Isidro. when
Colonel Summers entered the city with
the Oregon and Minnesota troops. Ser
geant Black and Corporal Harding. with
n squad of Oregon and Minnesota men,
went to the prison there. They found
cipher message written on the wall by
Lieutenant Gilmore, Of the gunboat York
town. stating in what part OF his cell,
under the stone floor, would be found
letter written by himself and also diary.
There was no signature to the diary. and
il was broken OFF abruptly in the middle
of sentence. Several pages OF its first
part were missing. II is evident that
they referred to the writer's life from the
time of his capture on January q to
March 2S. when Malolos was taken by the
Americans. Following are extracts from
the diary:
Men. women, and children all fleeing
from the advancing Americans. At Bali
uag We were taken into a convent and pat
into room about by 10 with nothing to
sleep on but the floor and litter covered
with blood. The sergeant OF the guard
was a young Spaniard. and he tried to
make ii as easy as possible for us, bring
ing us some rice and fish to eat We saw
many wounded there. Next morning we
were awakened by natives throwing stones
through the windows at US to see us
move. About 9 o'clock We were started
Oh the march again without breakfast.
Many of the Spaniards were so sick
that they could hardly walk. but the ma
tive guards struck them with their guns
to make them move faster, shouting
'sigue' follow all the time. That word l
shall never forget, for it rang continually
In my ears, 'sigue, sigue. sigue.' like a
man driving cattle. We were in better
condition than the Spaniards. so they pat
US ahead but every once in viii We
had to stop and wait. At San Rafael they
fed US on dry rice without salt or any
thing else"
Later they heard of the five days ar
mistice. The diary concludes: THE five
days passed slowly and heavily. although
we had plenty TO eat, all donations OF the
Spaniards. except four motas day each
| and two measures of rice apiece given by
the government. This alone would just
about have kept body and soul together
| We sang songs together to show that We
were in good spirits" The names OF all
the Yorktown prisoners were scratchei on
the wall of the prison at San lsidro.
