ONE TEXAS MAN
Made Seventeen Filipinos Surrender
Praise For the Thlrty-Third.

A letter from Manila, P. l., says:
"American soldiers in the Philippines
have distinguished themselves by
many valorous deeds, but no single
achievement is more deserving OF
laudation than the. heroic defense of
Vigan by 237 men of the 33d Texas.
two thirds of whom were sick and foot
enemy. To the credit of the regiment
had already been placed the victories
of Maealdsn bridge aud San Jacinto.
When a thorough reconnaissance of the
grouud tough over at Magaldan bridge
was made 70 were found and buried.
When the regiment entered San
JacintO after the terrific engagement
in which Maj. Logan lost his life. Col.
Hare thought the enemy killed ag-
gregated II, yet two days later more
than 200 were found.
After describing the Vigan battle in
detail, Lieut.. Col. Parker, in his Off
cial report, says:
81 can not conclude without paying
tribute to the 33d Texas. Many we're
sick, but all turned out for the fight
ing, and nothing could equal the cool
ness, intrepidity and determination
shown by them. The steadfast de.
tense of the position at the west end
of the plaza almost in the muzzle OF
hours, half of that time in darkness,
deserves to be commemorated as a
striking example of American valor,
and to the seven men who died there,
on the spot where they persisted 1t Is
only just that monument be erected
bearing their names.
For extraordinary gallantry, fight
ing for hours, lying between two dead
comrades in a position on the plaza. his
hat pierced aud his clothing ploughed
by bullets, recommend that a medal
of honor be granted Private Mcconnell,
of Company B, SD Texas.
"While searching the town for in
surgents at the close of the fighting
Private Epps of Company B, 33d,
asked Capt. Van Way for permission
to search q certain house. Looking
over a wall he discovered II insurgents
armed, and mounting the wall he
covered them with his rifle, forcing
them to stack arms and surrender
When some surprise was expressed at
this incident, he replied: What else
could they do? L had the drop on
them 1 recommend that Epps be
given . medal of honor"

Consul at Barcelona was instructed to

M'ARTHUR REPORTS
Shows Status of Military Affairs
In Philippine Islands,
OUR CASUALTIES FOR NINE MONTHS.
Americans Lose over Thousand In XIII
ed, Wounded aud Captured
nos Lose Nearly 1000.

Major General Arthur Macarthur,
commanding the United States forces
in the Philippines and military COVER
nor Of the islands, has submitted his
report TO the war department.
Every question in the Philippines is
treated, and the inference drawn by
many of those at headquarters is that
if the United States are to conquer the
Philippines it must be by sheer force
of arms.
While, according to the report, Ag-
uinaldo aud his band voted to discon-
tinue war November 18th, 1899, as a
matter Of fact it continued. BY their
ability to doff the habiiments Of war
and assume the garb of peace, Filiri-
nos have successfully kept in the field,
but at a tremendous loss. Fifty-three
stations occupied by Americans on
November 1st, 1899, had on Septem-
Der 1st, 1900, expanded to Alb. While
the Americans had lost l ,073 in killed,
wounded aud captured, the Fllipinos
had lost 6.7S5. The report says:
"The Filipinos are not q warlike or
ferocious people. Left to themselves,
large number would gladly accept
the American supremacy, which they
are gradually coming to understand
means individual liberty and absolute
security in their lives and property. !"
General Macarthur says the extern
sive distribution Of troops has strained
the soldiers of the army to the full
limit of endurance He says the ap-
parent desultory work has demanded
more of discipline and as much of val
or as was required during tho period
of regular operations against concen-
trated field forces of insurrectionists.
General McArthur's report says that
the troops amidst all labors aud hard
ships are content.
The Filipinos, the report says, left
to themselves would gladly accept the
American supremacy. The Americans
are making as many friendly overtures
as is compatible with the conditions.
MACARTHUR TO TAKE THE FIELD
A Washington special says: Tn
pursuance of the plan to make an ag-
gressive campaign in the Philippines
during the winter, it has been arrau-
ged that Major General Macarthur
shall personally direct the military
operations against the insurgents
While he is in the field Major Gener-
al Bates will be assigned to duty in
Manila, as executive head of the mil
itary government of the island.
General Macarthur does not propose
to lay himself open to the criticism
which was made against his predeces-
sor, General Otis, who occupied him
self with office details while his subor-
dinate3 led the fighting. Gene
MacArthur's determination to lead the
troops himself is warmly approved by
the president and the secretary of war.

Even so late I'm the century as the
time of the marriage of our Queen It
was looked upon as a gross breach OF
good manners to sneeze IN company.
In the time OF that blur sallor-klng,
William ~, the then Duke OF Nor
folk was referred to as something OF
a boor," and only for sneezing violent
ly at a state banquet when the King
was present. Sir Il. Hastings Doyle, In
his autobiography, relates how, early
in the sos, Lord Halifax was walk
ing with Lord Dundas when the
| latter suddenly began to make hideous
faces to such a degree that Lord
Halifax became seriously alarmed and
gasped out: "Shall l run for the doc
tor| Lord Dundas gave a peremp-
tory mo" as far as he was able. When
he had recovered from the paroxysm.
he said Il was only in the agonies OF
trying not to sneeze. The awful Court
etiquette in regard to this matter has
made me really i'll many time Now
adays l cannot, from long habit, really
sneeze; but the sensation that brings
about sneezlng simply agonizes me.
And 1 know many elderly gentlemen
who suffer the same"
The same rule applied and still ap-
plies in some cases, in an even greater
degree on the Continent The late
Car Of Russia, the father of the pres
ent ruler, once hazarded the opinion
that certain distinguished French
Englishman was "much wanting in
polish and good manners" because he,
poor man, sneezed at a Russian Court

Arguments tending to show that the
increased efficiency of the implements
of war would render warfare in the
near future so disastrous to both COM
batants as to make a resort to arms
too costly to be practicable have not
received much support from recent
events. The proportion of losses sus-
tanned by Beers and British in South
Africa has not exceeded the percentage
of casualties in the armies of France
and Germany in 1901 in spite of the
greater destructiyeness of firearms,
Which in theory is from five to ten
times greater than it was 30 years ago
in the case of rifles and about Is times
greater in the case of artillery. While
The number of missiles that can be
hurled at an enemy in given time and
the zone of fire have increased enor-
mously, the capacity Of each shot to do
harm has been CORRESPONDENCE dimin-
ished by the invention Of new tactics
whereby injury can be avoided. The
only new facts that have been estab-
Hshed by recent experience are tn2t
attack has been made more difficult
and defense more effective by the EN-
ployment Of modern arms of precision.
