OF the line on that side (the Trans
andine Construction company, lin
ited), which still requires some Fl
miles to complete. The following de-
scription, therefore, will be confined
to the finished portion on the Agen-
tine side.
The location of this line presents
some interesting features. Mendoza,
the terminus of the broad gauge five
feet six inches) lines from Buenos
Ayres, is $50 miles from that port, and
stands 1900 feet above sea level, and
the lowest point of the pass over the
summit of the Andes is 1900 feet
The railway is on fairly easy ground,
with only one important bridge up to
entering the mountains. At this point
the line begins to follow the valley of
the River Mendoza, mountain tor
rent, which, with its tributaries, drains
the melting SHOWS Of the principal
SUBMITS, and, like many rivers OF its
kind, is subject to sudden rises and
also to many treacherous variations

member of the general staff of the
army. ) e>t.'
AS captain of troop in the Fiji
teenth cavalry this stalwart young
western soldier has been in command
of department in the island of Min
danao for several months and has
done much by his tactful. diplomatic
methods to bring about better under
standing between the refractory Moros
and the United States government and
army. Capt. Pershing has led his men
in several sharp engagements with the
bolo men, but he has accomplished
far more toward establishing peace
and good feeling in the island by
diplomacy and craftsmanship than he
has by force of arms. BY his tactful
methods he subdued powerful and
apparently implacably hostile religious
leader and that without firing shot.
By a bold dash he captured fort
which the Moros regarded as practic-
ally impregnable. In that charge he
lost only three men. He constructed
roads through all but impenetrable
jungles and brought the remostest in
terror of the island into close COM
munication with the coast.
So diplomatic has been the policy
pursued by Capt. Pershing that the
natives of the island of Mindanao
have come to look upon him with great
respect and reverence. Not long ago
he was made a datto with the full
Mohammedan ceremony. Referring to
this interesting event the Manila
Times of few months ago said:

after the diplomacy Of Capt. PERISH

place. Pershing's conservation as a
datto gives him a distinction never be-
fore enjoyed by an American and
should add to his already great power
among the Moro people.
MANY dattos from other tribes
were in attendance at the consecra-
ton and assisted in the ceremony
The compact of friendship was made
over the Koran, Pershing being first
consecrated as Moro datto. The
other dattos wore the full regalia Of
the Office as chieftains of tribes, and
the strange ceremony was conducted
with all the splendrous rites of the
Mohammedans, made even more pic
turesque in the midst of the semi
civilized tribes Of Bayan."
Capt. Pershing is a native of Linn
county, Missouri, and his boyhood was
spent in the little town of Laclede in
that county. 1t was from the congress
sional district of which Linn county
then formed a part that he was ap-
pointed to West Point in the early
sos. In 1886 he was graduated from
West Point and thereafter he served
as second lieutenant in the Sixth
cavalry and first lieutenant in the
Tenth cavalry, taking part in the cam
paign against the Apaches and Nava-
jos in Arizona and New Mexico from
1886 to 1889 with Gen. Chaffee and
under Gen. Miles in the campaign
against the Sioux in 1890.
Meantime Capt. Pershing's parents
had removed from Missouri to Lin
coin, Neb., and when in 1891 the SOL
der was rendered the Office of profess
sor of military science at Nebraska
state university he promptly accepted
it, remaining there for four years. He
at once became immensely popular
with the students at the university
and made his department one of the
most popular and prominent in the in
stitution. While he was at the uni
versity Capt. Pershing devoted his
spare moments to study of the law and
in 1895 he was admitted to the bar.
Soon after the outbreak Of the Span
ish-American war Capt. Pershing went
to the Philippines and his record there
ia now matter of history.
