an inquiry was instituted as to The
whereabouts of the party, but withou
result. 1t was learned afterwards tha
the five Americans had been confined
at the house of the Presidente of the
village, while the natives were eating

to during The exp dition, conditions
We're such as came very nearly to just

"Detachments,. including the native

directions from Santa Teresa, and a
vigorous pursuit was instituted all
around Orders we're issued from the
pos. that the culprits must be captured,
and at the same time Lieut.. Rodney,

quarters that the feelings of the troopers
would be SO incensed by what they saw
that they might try to retaliate and so
it was reiterated.
This was in Rial province, named
for the patriot martyr, only twenty mil

leaving Santa Teresa the party took
their prisoners, pushing on to an almost
inaccessible mountain known as El
Pulpito, which had long been the rem

defence is that Our men opened fire
upon them first, and as Our participants
in the affray are all dead it is hard to
dispute this claim, except on the score
of inprobability. The important fact
in the incident is that under such great
provocation Our soldiers restrained

Adherence 10 The
Rules oI N0r.
An Illustration Of How folders
CanAct Under Severe Prov
ocation When Controlled BY
Proper Discipline.

Lieut.. hamilton Foley of the Fifth
Cavalry, who has just returned to the
United States from the Philippines,
gives an interesting example of the self
restraint which can be exercised by
United States soldiers under. severe pro
vocation, particularly when they have
urgent and repeated warnings Of the
superior officers to give the strictest ad-
herence to the rules Of war.
"Last Decoration Day" said Lieut..
Foley, ga party of five American soldiers
rode out from their post to a neighboring
point, where a detachment had been
stationed, to decorate the grave Of a
comrade. These men had with them
an American sergeant. prisoner under
charges, whom they we're taking in
order to give him exercise. As they
rode along they were suddenly sur-
prised by the springing out of the bus-
hes of from fifteen to twenty armed
men. The sergeant in charge of the
American party, for some unaccount-
able reason, dismounted his men and
proceeded to charge the enemy with
pistols. They should have had their
Carbines with them. They left the pri-
soner sergeant with one other man in
charge of their horses little way off.
The Filipinos, on this pistol charge,
instead of giving fight, dropped out of
sight. But just as the Americans sup
posed themselves recovering from an
easy victory, they suddenly found them
selves surrounded by about eighty DO
lomen, who appeared Unexpectedly from
around corner in the road The Ser
geant tried to defend himself, but was
wholly overpowered; the first party,
which had dropped into the bushes again
came in sight and combined with the
bolomen. The Americans were taken
prisoners. OF the two men left with
horses one rushed into the affray with
his comrades and was captured, while
the o.her-.he prisoner-reieased the
horses, hurrying them away to prevent
their falling into the hands of the enc
my and harried back to camp and
sounded an alarm.

started out at once in pursuit. Arriving
at the scene of the disturbance he was
able to follow the route the Filipinos
