of good cold American lead pills, which
quieted them down.
When Captain Pershing was given
command of a. column with orders TO
cut through the heart of the enemys
country he had turned over to him
troops A, E, G and l. of the Fifteenth
Cavalry. The regiment had it's base
at Camp Vickers, Mindanao, which was
also the base of operations of Capt.
Pershings expedition. l. troop was
a favorite of the doughty Captain, who
came out of his daring campaign with
! a glorious record and the title of Dato,
conferred upon him by the Moros. But
several troops suffered heavy losses.
A troop lost fifteen killed at Bayang,
and a large number were wounded.
Other severe engagements We're fought
at Bocolod, Taraqua and Maciu, in
most of which the slaughter of the
Moros was great.
The cavalrymen have fund of sto-
ries to tell of the work of the bolomen
of Mindanao, the bolo being by far
the most fearsome close-quarters
weapon the Filipinos use. The Moros
on many occasions had made protes-
tations of their friendliness for the
Americans, and by so doing often had
| opportunities for using the bolo with
deadly effect on the unsuspecting
troops. Running amuck among gar
risons was a familiar method of the
MoroS to get rid of a few khaki-clad
enemies. A soldier is now in the hos
pital ward suffering from wounds in
fiicted by a boloman, few days prior
to the departure of the regiment
Upon arrival at San Francisco the
regiment will be divided, several troops
: going to Fort Myer, Va, near the Po-
tomac river, and opposite Washington.
