About as good thing as the Trib-
une has heard in the way OF Yankee
soldiers obeying orders comes from
Mont Henry. In letter to his broth
er, Robert, he states that during a
skirmsh number of natives were
taken prisoners and they were given
into the custody of some members Of
the Tennessee regiment, with orders
to tie the prisoners together and take
them to Manila. Upon reaching Ma
Mia the lieutenant-colonel asked the
Tennesseans where their prisoners
were and they promptly replied that
: the rope was so short that the natives
: feet couldn't touch the ground. The
soldiers were no doubt careless and
tied one end of the rope around the
Filipiros' necks and the other over a
limb of tree.-Volga Tribune.
