American soldier thought he would take
a last look at the deceased. Turning back
the sheet which had been spread over the

1--WE remained in Van Halls about a
month, establishing a hospital at that
point. From a village called Canaan,
about six miles from Van Halls, there was
brought an cid Filipino leader named
Rolan Bolam, who was responsible for the
vigor with which the Filipinos prosecuted
the fighting in that nieghborhood. Think
ing he was about to be stint to Bellebar
prison at Manila he made a confession,
giving much valuable information. He
said that Aguinaldo was in the negro
country in northern Luzon
"A detachment of twenty-five men un-
der command of Lieutenant Stavin, chief
OF scouts, was sent to look for the
Filipino leader, butd i'd not find him
We had a fierce fight at Porak, which
town We captured after driving the enemy
from their strongholds General Joseph
Wheeler participated in this battle The
Filipinos lost heavily, and a large num-
Der of Americans were killed. On the
night of the second day after taking the
place there was another fight, when the
enemy attempted to recapture the city.
General Wheeler assumd command of
a large force and requested permission to
storm a large sugar house. The per-
mission was not granted Had the old
fighter been allowed to have his way he
would probably have been killed, but
he would have gladly made the effort, as
the place was occupied by several COM
panies of Filipino sharpshooters and rifle
men,
Trooper Smith does not believe the in
surrection is near an end, but says that
Filipinos are as full of fight as they were
two years ago.
