FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE
IN THE PHILIPPINES

New York, May 4.-Brigadier Gener-
al Bell, who has just arrived in Wash
ingtOn from the Philippines, where he
was in command of four departments
OF southern LuZOn, is quoted in q
Times special as saying:
''One-siXth of the natives of Luzon
have either been killed or have died
of the dengue fever in the last wo
years. The loss of life by killing alone
has been very great, but think that
not one man has been slain except
where his death served the legitimate
purposes Of war. 1t has been neces-
sary to adopt what in other countries
would probably seem harsh measures,
for the Filipino is tricky and crafty
and has to be fought in his own way.
''One of my sentinels was beheaded
within $50 yards of my headquarters.
His eXecutioner was bOlOman, who
came into camp disguised as fruit
vender. He had his bolo hid in his
basket, and at the opportune moment
drew it and with one blow cut off the
sentiners head.
''The Filipinos in my district were in
the habit of stopping the wagons of ma
tives and imposing a tax of one Amer
lean dollar on each load of hemp. Ere
quent complaints We're made to me,
and one day l sent Captain Hand,
Forty-fifth infantry, to stop the prac-
tice. He and six men concealed them
selves in a covered wagon. When
they were held up they opened fire on
the insurgents, and five of them were
killed. After that there was no more
levying of taxes.
1.-The insurgents also caused us much
trouble by tampering with our tele-
graph; and for while we We're obliged
to treat every one outside of our lines
as an enemy. If n man was caught
within $50 yards of a telegraph pole,
he was shot. On one occasion six Fill
pinos were found dead holding to a
wire which they had wrapped around
n tree. No one knew who shot them,
but their fate was sufficient to keep
any of their comrades from tampering
with the lines again."
