History Of the Uprisings Before and
After the Battle of Manila
by tn Army Officer.
OUR WARFARE SURPRISING

Major w. A. Simpson, assistant adju-
tant general, United States army and
chief of the bureau of military infor-
nation of the war department, has
written the following comprehensive
summary of the military operations
conducted against the FilipinOs, both
by Spain and by the United States,
with a comparison Of the conditions
and results in each case. Major Simp-
son Is exceptionally well qualified for
this work. for under the direction Of
Adiutant General Corbin his special
duty during the past year has been to
keep abreast of the Quotations Of the
military movements in the Philippines,
10 prepare data for the ready reference
Of the secretary of war and other high
officials. and to prepare the maps show
ing the theater of military operations.
with these unusual facilities at hand,
as well as personal acquaintance with
the Philippines while on the staff Of
General Green, Major Simpson has
written the following comparative
showing of the military movements up
to date:
II is the purpose of this article to
sketch briefly the relations Of the
FIlipinos with Spain, and afterwards
with the United States, to point out the
treatment received by them from each

,yhich. at different times, the Filipino
Iaaders would have been satisfied.

nast uprisings Of the natives against
snanIsh rule, but they were local in

other islands without trial. A recon-
mendatiOn by the priests was all that
was needed, and persons obnoxious 20
them were summarily banished. In
1895 the government wished to form a
colony in the Mohammedan island OF
Mlndanao. No one volunteered TO go,
so the local Spanish officials. in con-
junction with the priests, found this
means Of getting rid Of people who had
displeased them or whose property they
coveted. The influence Of the clerical
party was all-po~erful, and the natives
realized that they had no rights which
the ruling authorities were bound to
respect.
The rebellion finally broke out in
Iuzon in August, 1896, under the aus
pices Of the Katipu1an Society. At that
time there were only about 1000 troops
ir the Islands, and Of thase but 1.jO0
were Spaniards. The governor general,
Blanco, hesitated about making an ag-
gressive campaign, pending the arrival
ot reinforcenents from Spain. Raids
were made by small bodies OF insur-
gents on towns in the vicinity Of Ma
Mia. and considerable energy was
shown by the Spa1iards in their Oper-
atoms against hem. Flying columns
were sent out, and as a rule the insur-
gents were defeated with considerable
loss, and their leaders, If captured, were
shot.
As the instruction progressed and
gathered in strength, Cavite province,
south Of Manila, became the principal
theater Of operations, and Agulnaldo,
then p years Of age, appeared upon the
scene. The insurgent headquarters
were at silan, about % miles south Of
Manila. The spaniards had received
some reinforcemen.s and some Of the
native troops remained loyal. They or
gdnized a double expedition one body
to move eastward from Laguna de Bay
and another 10 move upwards from the
south, with the idea Of crushing the
insurg ,nts between them. The insur-
gents had well constructed entrench-
ments, and the net result, after consld-
cradle lighting, was 10 leave the in
snrgents practically in control Of ca
vite province. In the north the ingur-
recLion was confined al this time 10 a
small section. The war was Waged saw
agely on both sid-s. No quarter az "a
rule was given. The insurgents were
particularly severe on the captured
priests, some Of whom were put TO
death with shocking barbarity. The
prisons in Manila were full to overflow
ing with suspects, and many Of them
were put to death.
Banco, with but few European troops
at Arst at his command, had acted
energetically, and had done well with
the means at his disposal. He was at
variance with the clerical party. how
ever, and was replaced in December.
1896, by Polavieja, who had earned
reputation for cruelty. He brought
some troops from Spain and others fol-
lowed, so that he had soon under his
command force Of $4,000 men. A
force under General Lachambre took
the field in Cavlte province. and after

an active campaign Of about three
months, in which several battles were
fought, success rested with the Span
iards, and the insurrection in that part
Of Luzon was crushed. The manner
in which the campaign was conducted
was such as might have been expected
from the reputation Of the governor
general
Polavieja's stay in the Philippines
was brief. as he was relieved in the
spring Of 1897 by General Phimo de Ri
veria. The latter issued a proclamation
promising amnesty to all insurgents
who would lay down their arms. This
was partially accepted. Agui1aldo, af-
ter leaving Cavite, went to the north
ern provinces, and took charge Of the
insurrection there. There was consd-
erable fighting for some months The
ill., advised and arbitrary acts Of the
friars and the Spanlards in the prov
would otherwise have been friendly or
neutral. There seemed no prospect OF a
successful issue on either side. The
Spaniards were unable to quell the in
surrection, while the only hope Of the
insurgents, realizing their inability to
cope with the Spaniards in the open
field. or to take their large towns. was
to keep up a guerrilla warfare, wear
out the Spanards and hold out until
the resources Of Spain were exhausted.
Practically all the insurgents claimed
at this time was the expulsion Of the
friars, restoration Of the lands appro-
priated by them, liberation Of religious
sects, (note--intoleranc was carried
so far that a clergyman Of any other
than the Roman Catholic faith was
not allowed to enter Manila, even as
private individually legal equality
for all persons. and the abolition OF the
power Of Punishment without trial The
governor general was himself in favor
Of granting reforms, but as the forms
most earnestly desired would curtail
the powers and privileges Of the monas-
tic orders the latter did all in their
power to prevent these reforms from
being granted.
Diplomacy was then resorted to, and
as result a treaty was signed at Bi-
acnabatO on December IA, 1897, by
Aguinaldo, and Pedro PaternO as agent
for the governor general. The rebels
agreed to give up their arms and am
munition; to evacuate the places held
by them: to agree to an armistice for

THE CELEBRATED MIsH GRAPE
Considered BY Many the Best Grape
Grown.

The News and Observer begs to ex-
press its thanks to Mr.. w. Albert Mish,
of Nashville, Beaufort county, for "A
basket of the celebrated Mish grape
which are regarded by many as the best
grape that is grown.
Mr.. Mish writes: 'They were discov-
cred by my grandfather, Albert Mish,
ST., on the north side of Pamlico river
at Swan Point. about four miles from
Washington, n. c., many years before
the war"
Nashville. N. c., is the home of this
grape. The oldest and largest vineyard
of them is to be seen there. Mr.. Mish
sends us a piece of the original vine
which is highly priced. The Mish grape
is not unlike the scuppernong in flavor.
1t is black in color, and can be shipped
better than the scuppernong. Doubtless
God Almighty might have made a
grape better than the Mish, but doubt,
less He never did.
