Edward Meekins. formerly a resident Of
Washington. and now with the troops In
the Philippines writes the following in
teresting letter to a friend here:
Look on the map for Gubat 1t is a great
place. l have Just returned from a weeks
visit and as somewhat broken up but was
very successful in carrying out my orders.
Il left here March Z. with fifteen men
and three days rations to go TO the relief
Of the captain Of the port there. We went by
way Of Bacoor, got caught in a big storm,
and came near laundering We reached
Gubat about midnight and found Lieuten-
ant Pitcairn and his fifteen men in stone
chapel surrounded by bolomen. who were
burning and looting. They were quite
worn out with excitement and loss OF
sleep and were trying to check the burn
ing by firing volleys to clear the streets.
Il took command. stopped the volley FIR
ing. put out several fires by tearing down
the huts. established my outposts, and
kept a patrol going all night. This con-
tinned five days and nights with little rest
and less sleep.
"On March / went in the launch to Ba-
lucan and carried out my orders for that
point without serious trouble and brought
away such Europeans as desired to leave.
On March 10 l took five men in the launch
and returned to Barcelona AS reported TO
me, the place was full of insurgents. there
being about $50 in the shore trench
wished very much to get back the wives
OF two Spaniards and to see il the presi-
dente had any power and would use il TO
prevent the burning of property, particu-
Iarly OF hemp houses. So l started ashore
Ia small boat, rOWed by a native sailor.
Three of the insurgents came out of the
trench and called, to me: No, no. no. i
went on, however. and landed, whereupon
they raised a white handkerchief. l did
likewise. and We met and talked. l found
we needed an interpreter and l persuaded
them to go of TO the launch with me. Il
was not easy as they were suspicious and
scared. but by shaking hands and laugh
ing at them they finally agreed to take
my message TO the presidente and TO try
and have the two women brought back 70
Gubat
The presidente would not see me be
cause he would lose his influence and
probably be killed for so doing. SO they
reported him as having gone to the noun
tains- However, one thing was agreed
upon: That the hemphouses would not be
burned"
The letter describes the retaking Of a
small schooner stolen by bOlomen. The
capture was made at great personal risk
thirty Of the saYage5 pursuing Meekins and
his men An adventure with an attacking
party of bolomen and their repulse is also
described by the writer who concludes with
a note of his safe arrival at Sarsagan,
