FROM FAR LUZ0N
Letter From Commander Of a Bat
talon Telling of the Death of
Lieutenant Luna.
HAD BUT LITTLE FIGHTING
The Philippines Rich Group of Islands
That Will Be Very Valuable to the
United States With Honest
Administration,

Maj, Julius A. Penn, Of the 34th in
fantry, wrote very interesting letter
from Dagupan, Philippine islands, un-
der date Of November 25 1S99 to Gov
ernor Otero. Lieut.. Maximiliano Luna
belonged to Major Penn's battalion, and
the major wrote In glowing terms of
the ability and courage Of Lieutenant
Luna, who was given the responsible
position Of chief Of the intelligence office
on General Lawton's staff soon after
landing at Manila. Major Penn saw
Lieutenant Luna last at Cabanatuan
November 9. He seemed very we'll
pleased with his duties, and spoke Of
the valuable information he had gath
cred for General Lawton, and seemed in
the best Of spirits. General Lawtons
staff reached the Agno river, near Tay-
ug. The river was high, with a strong
current, but had to be crossed. General
Lawton started in on his horse, his son
riding behind him, and the staff fol-
lowing. The horses were soon SWIM
ming. One of the staff officers noticed
that Lieutenant Luna's horse was in
trouble. He called to him to head his
horse for a certain point on the shore
This was the last seen Of Lieutenant
Luna. Two or three cavalrymen were
drowned at the same time and place.
This was November Is.
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-02-02

Major Penn gives a graphic descrip-
tion Of his marches in northern Luzon.
AT one time, in distance of three and
a half miles, twenty streams had
to be forded. There was very little
fighting, but any amount of marching
through mud knee deep, and occupation
of towns evacuated by the insurgents
the day before. Major Penn writes that
his orderly trmpeter is Santa Fe boy
named Nicholas W. Campagnoli, and
that Sergeant Mennet, of Las Vegas,
has been advanced to first sergeant of
his company.
In conclusion, Major Penn says: 1.-THE
country Is one that is exceedingly rich,
and under honest, fair administration
will prove to be Of great value to the
United States. 1 believe the insurrec-
ton is practically over. Our work will
continue until every part Of the islands
is visited and civil government estab-
lished. Our men, think, enjoy their
experience, but think would like to see
the chips they have been carrying on
their shoulders knocked off by a few
armed insurgents. They are disappoint-
ed in not finding the fight they have
been hunting for so persistently. One
only grief, and 1T Is one that affects
both officers and men, is poor Lieuten-
ant Luna's death. He was beloved by
adj, and we all felt that no officer or man
o,,I hoJ hy,tnr NOV f,,fy, ro
before him.

GOVERNMENT FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
The Recommendations Made By the Com.
mission,

New York, February "A survey Of
the first half of the report OF the Phil
ippines commission, as submitted to the
president, Is published here The COM
mission believes 1t to be safe, expedi-
ent and desirable to grant the inhabit-
ants of the archipelago home rule in
local affairs. The towns should enjoy
the rights and privileges of towns in the
territories of the United States. The
suffrage should be restricted by educa-
tional or property qualifications, or
both. A small body Of American off
cials Of great ability and integrity
should be appointed to advise the town
and county officials. The commission
advocates a second class territorial gov
ernment for the archipelago. In which
only portion Of the legislative body
should bt chosen by the Filipinos. The
Filipinos should be given preference in
office, and the merit system adopted.
The finances should be managed for
the benefit of the islands. The scheme
of government should be put into effect
as soon as possible.
