FILIPINO BARBARlTlES.
Letter From Kansas Boy Who Is
Serving In MindnnaO.

Mrs. G.. NJ. Taylor of Newton, Ills,
has received letter from her son Clar-
ence, who was wounded in the Philip
pines, but has since returned to the
ranks. 1t tells of some blood curdling
deeds perpetrated by the Filipinos,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The letter is dated Cagayan, Mindanao,
April IL, and is in part as follows:
when my regiment left for Minda
mao, was left in Manila with a slight
attack of malaria fever. l rejoined it
two weeks ago at this town, where
there are $50 of the regiment now.
Nothing of Importance happened until
the night of April 6, when all the ma
tives began leaving town. We thought
something would happen, but did not
think the natives had nerve enough to
come into the town and attack us. But
In this we were mistaken.
About o'clock on the morning of
April the bell in the cathedral church
began ringing ominously. 1t was the
signal for an attack. 4 minute later 1t
stopped l heard the worst yelling /
ever heard in my life, and the shooting
commenced. We had to face about
1900 Filipinos, who looked like Indi-
ans, and we did not at once fire on
them, as we ought to have done. AS
they drew nearer we found they had
on women's dresses and cried Amigo
deceiving us into thinking they were
women fleeing to us for protection. We
saw through their ruse at once, how
ever. and knew we were in for a fight.
sour boys began to pour hot shot in
to them, and they began to fall like
Kansas jack rabbits. One of them pin
ned one of our soldiers to the ground
with a spear after his leg was broken
by a Mauser. The natives danced
around and tried to bolo the stricken
soldier, calling all the time on God to
help him.
"Our loss was three killed and ten
wounded, while the enemy lost ca kill
ed. Their wounded is unknown. The
Filipino commander says he will have
the head of every American in town.
wish you could have seen the way
they butchered two of our three men
killed. They cut one body into strips
and then cut the heart out.
Two soldiers were killed on outpost
duty before they could get back TO US.
1t has since been learned from two 9TH
ers that escaped that the natives sur
prised them in a cunning way. They
came up at early dawn, stopped over.

thought they were. The two men killed

In the last five years he has quieted

a great buffer and is not afraid to call
a bluff. The soldiers like to play poker
with Geronimo, and he keeps them

Sunday he won nearly $500 and upon
the advice of his friends made a bank

POEM BY KIPLING.

Sung mt a War Correspondents Com
cert Given at BIOemfOntein.
A poem written specially for the oc-
casion by Rudyard Kipnng was sung
to the tune of AUD Lang Syne" at
concert given by the war correspond
ents at Bloemfontein on April IS in aid
of the widows and orphans fund OF
London and Bloemfontein, says the
New York Times. The concert, which
took place in the town hall and was
under the direction of Bennett Burleigh,
netted f400.
The audience included Lord Roberts
and all the officers of duty, many dis
tinguished visitors and the leading
townspeople, besides a large crowd of
soldiers, who occupied the galleries.
Among the entertainers were Woller
and Melton Pryor, the artists who
make lightning sketches, which were
afterward' sold at auction by Bennett
Burleigh. A picture of Little Bobs,"
by Melton Pryor, was knocked down to
Lord Stanley for 33 guineas, and Lord
CastIedown secured a sketch Of PreSi-
dent Kruger, by Woller, at a similar
price.
Kipling's poem, the first stanza Of
which was cabled to America, is as
follows:
We welcome to our hearts tonight, oh, kinsnen
from afar,
Brothers in an empires Fight and comrades of our
war;
For Aud Lang Syne. my lads. and the fights of
Aud Lang Syne
We drink our cup of fellowship to the fights Of
Aud Lang Syne.

and Waffle Irvine,
And Maple from Canadian SHOWS, for the sake Of
Aud Lang Syne;
For Aud Lang Syne take hands, from London to

Good luck to those that toll with since the
days of Aud Lang Syne.
Again to all hold most dear in the life we left
behind,
The wives we wooed, the BARNS we kissed and the
loves of Aud Lang Syne.
For surely you'll have your sweetheart, and surely
I'll have mine;
We toast her name in silence here and the girls
OF Aud Lang Syne.
And last to him the little man who led our fight

For Aud Lang Syne and Bobs chief of Aud

writes: "Our friends failed to show up
last night. l took all of the men over
to my brothers to sleep. Seven of us
slept on a platform about ten feet
square. He offered the use Of another
platform, but we were all right"
The Juramentadoes mentioned by the
officer are the most savage tribesmen
OF the island Of Jolo. Their favorite
weapon is 4 crude native sword which
resembles boomerang and is called
"barong." In hand TO hand fighting
this weapon is capable of doing much
damage, but the sultan by using mod
ern arms has partially subdued the
Juramentadoes.

to's Great BaII-A Pageant of Moro
Boats-How q Female Prisoner In
JoIo Was Decapitated by an Angry
OmcIaI.
Captain ]. V. Philip Of the Thirty
first infantry in the Philippines has
written an interesting letter to rela-
lives in Washington. AT the time OF
writing the captain and his command
were stationed at Zamboanga, island of
Mindanao, says the St Louis Republic.
He describes grand ball given in hon.
or of the datto Of that place.
"At the table," says he, ''the datto
first placed all the women who had lost
men of their families in the late war,
the one that took place here just before
we landed. The datto and his men kill
ed most of them, and now he is making
amends to the widows and mothers.
The dance lasted until 6 n. m. The
company was a little mixed Christian
and Mohammedan. In the last set Of
the square dance all the officers of the
army and navy on duty here wore the
turbans and sashes of the Moros. They
were delighted and said we We're in
deed friends now. The rich silk turban
and waist sash on our white uniforms,
with the gold and white shoulder
straps, made a very pretty effect
1.-The color of the people assembled
ran the scale of the rainbow. Back of
the dancing room We're some rooms,
curtained off, where the datto's wives
and daughters looked on. A drinking
room was provided where beer, vino
tinto, whisky, brandy and champagne
were served. In a dark anteroom
gambling game was in progress. The
only light was on the green covered
table. Weird faces, those of Moros,
Filipinos, Chinese, Malays and Chris
tians, made a fantastic frame to the
layout The bank was broken once by
four Mexican gamblers, who played
and danced alternately.
1.-THE other day we were attracted to
the waters edge by the sound of guns
and drums of the tomtom sort and be-
held n magic fleet of small sailboats,
about 60 in all. 1t was the sultan of
Mindanao, his retinue and armor bear
ers come to pay their respects. The
freak Oh HOT
be circumstance to what this pageant
was. Flags, spears, shields, double
handled swords, brass cannon, war
drums and banners of all descriptions
were there in greatest abundance. The
sultan and each datto had his own boat
pulled by from - to 16 men when the
sails were not set. Under large UNI
brellas of red and yellow silk embroider-
cd with their crests recliped the sultan
and dattOs on piles of cushions. They
first fired n salute, and then their
drums made a terrible din. We took
them ashore and marched them
a double line of troops with
our band furnishing the music.
AT the office of the adjutant general
we gave them cigars. You may mag
inc n white elephant was not a circum-
stance to this crew. We showed them
parade and target practice, and they
were very much impressed, especially
so with small Mauser gun / have
which fires teD shots automatically
with one pull OF the trigger. Our visit
ors' costumes were gorgeous. The sui
tan's cuffs were of gold, and in his fez
were several silver cocks feathers. He
wore some barbarous looking rings and
other jewelry."

THE PASSION PLAY.
Description of It's Initial Perform
ance at OberammerEau.


ance at Oberammergau.
The initial performance of the Pas
sion play, following the grand rehears-
al of Sunday, May 20, took place the
other day at Oberammergau. The at
tendance was enormous despite the
fact that the day was cold. cloudy and
generally unfavorable. The representa-
ton as whole, according to the opin-
ion of competent judges, surpasseS that
of 1890. Joseph Mayer, who recited
the prologue, was, as on previous &C.
casions, majestic figure. Anton Lang
as Christ was excellent. although some
what nervous. His voice is clear, and
his face seems to fit the character. al
though not so refined as the face of
Mayer, who was so long the Christ of
these representations.
Lang, however, showed Improvement
as the performance went on, his ges-
lures being particularly graceful. Dur
ing the Bethany scene a weird effect
was produced by the sun breaking
suddenly from the clouds and casting
a brilliant beam on Christ's robe.
FrauIein Anna Flunger, the Mary of
the representation, has n fine, well
rounded face and is good actress, but
she lacks the pathos that Rosa Lang
was wont to display.
The player now taking the part Of
Judas, Johann Twink, is very fine, a
vast improvement upon his predecessor
in the role. On the other hand, Thorn
as Rendt, the Peter Of the cast, scarce
ly equals Hetts portrayal. Fraulein
Bertha Wolff as Mary Magdalene is
striking in appearance and made a
profound impression. Sebastian Lang
as Caiaphas realized the ideal imper-
sonation of that relentless priest. Frau
lein Mathilde Rutz, the soprano, was
greatly admired, and young Boold
showed decided promise.
During the afternoon performance
Anton Lang was repeatedly overcome
by nervousness, but he went through
the crucifxion scene with perfect self
possession, and the memorable seven
words of the Saviour could be dis
tinctly heard by the vast concourse.
During the taking down OF the Christ
from the cross the sharp whistling of
a locomotive Jared unpleasantly upon
the ear. The scenic effects throughout
were beautiful.

Information just received at Wash

chipelago, indicates that the sultan as
well as the sultana is interested in
Americans and purposes to protect
them from harm. a letter from an Of

count of the solicitude felt for himself
