FRIEND kuNKLE. Yesterday az
Saryaya the insurgents killed the
President and cut bis head off. Col.
Gardner sent ssGn Co. out TO punish
them. When the company was near
Saryaya at 800 this morning they
We're fired 90 from house when they
least expected 4. They fired two vol
ieys into the house when one gugn
ran out, as he refused TO halt, he was
shot and killed by Lieut. Peck When
they went into the house they found
they had killed two gngus and d
woman who Is the cousin OF lady
here IN Tayahas aud has the reputa-
ton of being one Of the most beanti-
fal women on the island The COM
lpany are very sad over the death of
the woman but itc0uld not be helped.
They captured four insurgents IN the
house, one captain who was hid In
a closet.
Major Hartigan with only flfty men
had quite a scrap with four hundred
insurgents on mountain top last
week Our men killed 20 insurgents
aud captured 3S. Among them
major who has made friend Of every
soldier Ia town. He Il fine looking
young man, has a good education,
dresses in the height OF the fashion
and has plenty OF money.
He says the Americans surprised
him, Is they come up the mountain
and did what the Spaniards failed to
with 5000 men, He says he IS glad
the circus Is over as he wants to be-
come an American citizen, as all Fill
iptnos do who understand the situa-
ton. The people who object to this
are not Filipinos, but belong to race
who are as inferior to the E'ilipInos as
but then comparisons are edious.
Major Hartigan also rescued As
Spanish prisoners. BY the way, the
Major Is a relative OF DR.. Hartigan
of Morgantown. Lieut.. Chadwick
who Is on duty with thesNIacabebe
scouts Is also relative OF the Morgan-
hONH idujli1 VI Whit Hdutts lie
Lieutenant has made d fine record la q
most dangerous position. The Lieu
tenant was riding along on a mule re-
Gently humming sony when maui
ser bullet went through his leg after
having gone through the mule and
killing it.
The Filipinos are SO anxious TO be-
come Americans they have commenced
ID dress like them, This Is To be re-
GREETED, for while the men will proba-
bly, live through it, it means goodbye
To comfort and health for the women.
They are now wearing the very finest
American shoes with the heels In the
middle Of the foot and as their feet
are not deformed, they make worse
out at walking in them than the
American women do. They have
small feet and their neck, shoulders,
arms and hands would make study
for an artist.
| suppose they win tackle corsets
next and then all the doctors In the
states that can be spared had better
move over. For the Filipino women
have not yet learned that it Is much
more genteel to have pet dog, snake
or MONKEY than it Is To have baby.
We are much pleased with the or
der from the war department. allow
Ing the enlistment of FilipiDos for
band musicians. We enlisted one
last week. He is one of the finest sax
aphone players ] have heard We
will enlist six more Filipinos soon
ne hau raf 10 nil
claronet, one aboe, one baritone and
three saxaphone players. The three
young men in Morgantown who had
an opportunity 10 join the band and
allowed their friends to talk them out
Of 1t made the mistake OF their lives.
We can look out for Our enemies but
we Should pray daily 10 be saved from
our friends.
| see by the NEW DOMINION OF
February 18th just received that the
remains Of Fred NJ Jennewine had
not arrived at that time. When the
body left Manila it had not been ap-
piled for by his friends All those
applied for had the words Applied
For on the box containing the cas-
ket. Those applied for are sent direct
to their friends by the quartermaster
at San Francisco The Others are
hurled 10 national cemeteries. II the
body did not reach home, his family,
If they wish, should apply to the war
department and the body disinterred
and forwarded to them. 1t is a great
comfort TO q soldier to know that he
viii get 70 rest at home In case Of
death, When a soldier enlists he
gives the name OF one he wants no-
tilted in case OF accident or death. and
the party Is always notified inmedi-
ately. So You see how unnecessary
it IS for people to worry about their
friends over here for II anything hap
pens they will know it In an hour 81
