Frank Loer Also Served Two
Years In Philippines.
TALKS OF THE PEOPLE
Inhabitants of Southern Group
are PigmieS,

Frank Loer returned Tuesday from
more than two years service in the Phil
ippines and trip around the world. He
was a member of company D, 23rd regu-
lar infantry and left San Francisco Feb
ruary l, 1899, and landed in New York
December l. 1901. He was in two Skin
mishes while in the neighborhood of
Manila, where he was stationed from
March to May Il. 1899. and was then
sent to the island of Mininao. one of the
southern islands, and the second largest
in the group. The greater part of this
time he was doing garrison duty in an
old Spanish fort on the island Of Jolo
which is a short distance from Mininao.
In last September his company was or
dered to Zamboanga where the regiment
was modified and from there, on the
ship Buford, he came back TO America
by way of the Suez canal and wis sixty
two days on the. ship. This was the first
regiment that was allowed to go COM
pletely around the world since the United
States has owned the Philippines He
was discharged at Fort Ethan Allen last
December, but did not come TO his home
here until last week.

him last night about the islands and the

little communication from the natives or
the northern group except through the
white people who went from one island to
the other. The natives use Arabic char
acters in writing and their language is
very easy TO learn, as it has but very
few words and signs.
The only work we did while in the
islands was to chase General Rufeno
and his band for about thirty days and
then we did not catch him. He was a
rebel general and had with him two de
serters from the 10th infantry and they
had collected an army of about five hum
dred people and we chased them all over
the island and only succeeded IN making
prisoners of about fifty. The men would
scatter in all directions whenever the
soldiers would get very close to them and
it was only once in a while that we would
see any of the generals army.
The trip home was the best part of
the service. We stopped several times
and the ship coaled seven times con ing
around 10 this country. We were sixty
two days on the boat. There was an av-
erage of about ten men to the company
missing when we came back to what there
were when we first went TO the islands,
but most Of these died from the diseases

were killed in battle In the lowlands Of
