Odd scenes the American soldier

here is at the Paco' cemetery. The Span

Paco cemetery the body of a departed

in grave so long as his surviving rela-

against his own comrades and country
He was one of the few discharged for
reasons not creditable. He walked into
the welcoming lines of the rebels and
was immediately made an artillery Off
Ger of considerable rank. After one of
the fights in the vicinity of Malolos his
former comrades found him dead on
the field in his Filipino uniform, his
body frightfully shattered. He went
straight to the doom he had earned for
himself. ] do not know his name, and l
am glad of it. May his mother remain
forever in ignorance of his fatel
How many men Aguinaldo has it is
| hard to say. One estimate puts the
! number as high as 100, 900. If be ever
had so many, he has them no longer.
/ He has raked and scraped the earth for
them. Doubtless you at home have read
that large tale Of how Manila was laid
| in ashes by the insurgents. Tho only
iriag of Manila was done by the Amer
ican soldiers under orders. To the east
of the main city was large collection
of native buts. From this neighborhOod
came frequent hostile shots. The order
was given to fire the village and clean
it out. The men who lived there fed TO
the army. Since that time there has
been marked thinning out of Filipinos
in Manila.
Among the dead of the Filipino force
our soldiers have occasionally come upon
the bodies of Cinnamon, poor wretches
lying with their toes turned up and
their cues wrapped around their shaven
Ekulls These were men of peace, in
offensive washermen, vegetable gar
deners and peddlers, forced with gun
and knife to swell the ranks of Agui-
Daldo's host. The idea would be laugh
able only for the sadness of it. Any
thing in this life the Chinaman can do
except stand up and be fired at. There
he becomes the merest rabbit. His forte
is to earn money. He will even face
danger in this favorite pursuit if he is
not actually obliged to play soldier.
Many Cinnamon are attached tc our
army as hospital servants. In this ca
pacity they must gather up the wound
ed upon the field and carry them to
hospital. Here as always they are faith
full to the duty they are paid to per-
form. They even show considerable
bravery in darting ont under open fire
and bringing in the wounded.

at under orders-nol Excuse John, if
you please. l have even heard that
when he goes into battle he drops upon
his knees and beseeches joss to bring
him out alive.
Impelled equally by Ignorance and
desperation Aguinaldo goes ON to his
fate. He and his Chino-Philippine ad
visers cause stupendous lies to be cir
culated among his men. The most gift
ed artist in the field of sensational
journalistic lying would turn green
with envy before the efforts of Agui
naldo's newspaper men. After our oc
cupation of Malolos, the alleged capi
tai of the insurgents, some of the sol
diers picked up copies of paper print
ed in Spanish and purporting to give

New YORK, May 29.-While the
store windows are abloom with flowers,
ribbons, laces and delicate white dresses
and many other things, and crowds of
women are standing breathlessly star
ing at them, away down town whel c
the streets are narrow and the buildings
devoid of any ornamentation, the fine

man will buy handsome dress Or

the factories. But somehow after all the
knocking about they get in workrooms,
sweatshops and in transportation they
always manage to come to the counter
as pugilist to the scratch smiling and
with never spot or speck to show the
harsh usage. And the dear little pur-
chaser spends hours in brushing and
shaking the very same garment to keep
it nice. Perhaps it is because the gar,
ment in question belonged to nobody
in particular at first, and then feels
that it has an owner who is responsible
for its condition and disclaims all fu-

Aguinaldo has cut off their subsistence.
These natives in outside provinces are
reported anxious to come under the
sheltering folds of the American flag.
1t is not known certainly to this day,
probably never will be known, whether
the insurrection broke loose as the re-
suit of carefully laid plot or merely
as the spontaneous elimination of mis-
guided Filipino ambition. 1t was sud
den and not generally looked for. That
much is certain. A company of Ameri-
can regulars ON duty at one of the ex
treme outposts observed all at once
man in the uniform of Filipino ser
geant running from house TO house
among the natives. He seemed in
state of strong excitement. They watch
ed him. Soon shots were heard. Imme-
diately the general call to arms rang
ominously through all Manila. This
was between and 9 o'clock the night
of Saturday, Feb. 4.
The effect was electrical. Soldiers off
duty and bent on pleasure in the city
rushed pellmen to quarters. In the

drivers and coachmen off their perches
seized their conveyances and tore like
Jehu to camp. For the next "a hours
there was as hot time in this old
town of Manila as any city ever saw.
In less than no time a skirmish line of
soldiers standing four feet apart was
thrown out around the whole city. 1t

day wherever hostile Filipino showed
his head. Many of our soldiers remained
on duty IS solid hours engaged in busi-
ness like this. When the shades of even
ing fell on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2, 500 hap
less Filipinos lay dead and wounded in
and about Manila. Here ended Mr.
Aguinaldo' first lesson.
With scarcely a days intermission
the lesson has been continued ever since
Even to those administering it the cost
has been heavy. We may hope that by
the time this reaches my readers the
story of blood and death will be ended
1t probably would not have continued
so long only that Aguinaldo has with
him those who know more of fighting
than he does He has in his camp SOL
diers from the late Spanish army. Many
of these were caught and forced with
a gun at their heads to join his army
To the shame of their country it must
also be recorded that the insurgent
leader has among his counselors two or
three men who formerly belonged to
the American army. They had been
dishonorably discharged from our ranks
Burning with rage and the desire for
revenge, they went over TO Aguinaldo.
Perhaps there was not much else left
for them to do.

sergeant of artillery who thus turned
