quite famous and who distinguished
himself in the fighting in the Philip

third United States infantry, has one
of the most interesting stories to tell of

his fame by killing a Filipino general
who was continually plotting against
the American forces and who was one
of the richest, most influential and
most dangerous men among the rebel
forces
General Gregorio Pillar was the man
who met death at the hand of Corporal
Perry. He was one of the bravest
fighters among the insurgents. Perry's
action was a great service to the Amer
leans, for when the rebel general fell
his force laid down their arms and sur
rendered.
A handsome and curious coin, in the
possession of young Perry, is memen-
to of the service which he did for his
country. 1t is a five-doIlar gold piece.
