OF reports Of the movements of a small
expedition which started from Ban
gued Jan. 2l last on a scout through
the mountains >of Luzon in search. of
Aguinaldo. Col. Hare of the Thirty
thrd Infantry had heard that an in
surgent general WAS in the neighbor-
hotd and believed tina. IL might be
AEdinaldo. SO he started on the trail,
w,th Capt Ashburn of the First Bat
talon OF his regiment and forty men,
and was out five days, going as far as
Bacooc. This expedition was charac-
t-rized by many acts Of daring and
.gallantry. At one point. near Donfr-

the front and both TANKS, killed one
lieutenant and nine men. and captured

Sergeant Major Robert T.. Wilson. is
recommended for a medal OF homer. as
were also First Lieutenant Jeffers and
several enlisted men.

bravery of Sergeant 4aa1or Wilson.
characterizing his act as one that SIM
ply exhausts imagination" With six
or seven men he charged straight
through the rock gorge under heavy
fire from the insurgents al distance
OF 40 yards. Col. Hare says: How
they missed him / don't know. His
magnificent coolness. courage and
lightning action saved the eigth men
on the point.
Continuing. the colonel tells how Will
son exhausted the magazine of his
Krag, and then saw man no. 80 yards
from him. Says ahe report: He was
too far off to be sure of his aim with
his pistol, and he had no time TO re-
load. so he made a dash for the man
with his revolver" That Is when he
was shot In the hip. Then Lieutenant
Jeffers charged up the trail with seven
men. AT its summit he had a personal
encounter with three OF the bandits.
He shot one dead. Knocked the other
down with the butt OF his revolver,
while the man behind him threw his
gun over Jeffers' shoulder and killed
the other one"
A WELL DEVELOPED BRIGAND.
Col. Hare says that the insurrectos
were under one Pavill. who he says is
nothing but a well-developed brig
and" Such men. he says, organize
company OF desperate characters and
ravage the country around their camps.
The Spaniards never seriously pun
ished them, and they demanded and re-
ceived contributions from the towns.
Ashburns beginning promises success
in dispensing them. Col. Hares refer
ence to "brigand" is significant, per-
haps. in its bearing upon the future
treatment OF the hostiles i'm Luzon.
