ward S. Chester, of this city, formerly
a private In Company NJ, Seventeenth
United States Infantry, and who has
just returned from the Philippines,
where he was two months ON the firing
line, says that American soldiers, who
for crimes OF one sort or another, have
been dishonora.bly discharged from the
army, officer many Of the Filipino COM
mands. The rebel commanders offer
large inducements In the way OF salary
and position TO any who will forsake
the American army.
Chester says these Americans are a
reckless class, and in great part TO
their energy Is due TO the tenacfty OF
the rebellion. He said these American
soldiers led the Filipinos in several OF
the fiercest engagements, and play an
important part in keeping alive the
spirit of rebellion among the fragment
of Aguinaldo'S commands.
AFTER AGUINALDO.
WASHINGTON, November 22.-The
next move of Importance is to be made
by Gen. Wheaton, who will go up the
coast by transport to Vigan, at the
muth of Abea river. This will land
his forces far to the north OF where
Aguinaldo is supposed to be, the inten-
ton being to cut off his retreat to the
north From the military information
bureau it is learned that east Of the
route Aguinaldo is taking are noun
tains inhabited by tribes which are not
friendly to Aguinaldo and would be
likely to attack him if he attempted TO
cross their territory. The country along
the coast Is quite well settled There
are several little rivers making harbors
from which 1t is feared Aguinaldo may
escape by boat Gen. Young, it Is be-
heved, is watching the smaller ports
