WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES
The Personal Experience and Oh.
servations of One Who Was
There.

| will now submit the first in
stallment of my personal expe-
rience with the Moros in the South
Philippines.
Before beginning the story |
will give the reader a short sketch
OF myself. l was born and rear
ed in Tishomingo county a few
miles north of Iuka on Tennessee
river. | was enlisted in the Unit
cd States army at Memphis, Tenn.
June 9th, 1905 by Lieut.. Lampour
and left the same day for Jeffer-
son Barracks, Mo. | will not wor-
ry the readers with a description
of that place. | would like to say
though that it is tbs general rem
desvous for all cavalry and field
artillery recauits who are enlisted
for service in the regular army.
About 1000 Rockies" were avail
ting assignment there when | an
swered my first call in the service.
A few years ago an enlisted man
whose name | do not remember,
wrote book entitled the Dogs
of War" which fully describes re-
cruit life at Jefferson Barracks.
A detachment of the 9th cavalry
(colored) were on duty there DUR
ing my short halt in the Post. Il
often happened that niger
non-com's were placed in charge
of work being performed by white
recruits and niger" impude nee
as we see it in the South is moth
ing to compare with the nature of
, these black impS with chevrons on
+ their sleeves. | am a southerner
and maybe it seemed more toitur-
ing to me than to others, but |
observed that the Yankee Rock
ies' didn't like it SO we'll either.
| am not inclined to critic!se the
system of drill and treatment of
recruits at Jefferson Barracks
can now see the effects of cause
| then thought to be a cruel and
an inhuman practice. The severe
discipline enforced there seems to
be a test of honor and tends to
eliminate from the service many
undesirable recruits who enlist
under the impression that the ar
my is snap and made up of
toughs and buns" These tough
and bum rockies" soon tire of the
severe discipline and desert in
droves. The war dept, does not
attempt to apprehend them and |
am of the opinion that the record
of their enlistment never reaches
Washington. 1t is matter of rec
ord that nearly all the assertions
are made from among recruits
serving in the first six months of

telling the stories of service in
the Philippines. Jolo is an old
Spanish town and is walled in
making it secure against sudden
attack by the natives. Ten miles
inland may be seen the frowning
heights of Budd Dajo, the crater
of vol cano long since extinct.
Little did we think.that in a few
short months we would meet the

Soon. after our arrival the natives
assembled in Tulai, nearby
| fishing town, for a month of wor-
ship in accordance with a custom
of the Mohammedan faith. During
these services the natives will not
speak to Christian and should a
Christian speak to them he is
is guilty of offering an insult. Our
officers informed us of this fact
and advised us that we stay away
from Tulai during the Fiesta. Two
soldiers ignored this warning and
early one evening they visited Tu-
lai. One was killed on the spot
and the other severely wounded.
The alarm was given and dill
gent search made for tbe5murder-
er but he could not be found.
This act marked the beginning
of trouble on Jolo Island.
In December following, my
troop took station on the island of
Mindanao to the north. In March
1906 we received orders to make
ready for the field. An army
transport hove in sight, we were
marched aboard destination I'M
known. After Sc hours at sea we
cast anchor in Jolo bay. There
we learned the purpose of our
voyage. The Moros had fortified
the top of Budd Dajo and had
hurled defiance at the small de-
tachment of soldiers in Jolo. 1t
was the belief of the Moros that
Budd Dajo was enchanted and that
Christians could not ascend 20 the
top No doubt this belief found
its beginning at the time If the
eruption of Budd Dajo many years
ago. Our forces were so arrang-
ed the next morning that the
mountain was entirely surround
ed. Our one battery of mou ntain
artillery halted at the base and
opened fire with shrapnel. Much
credit is due the gunners for ex-
cellent craftsmanship, but very
few of the shots fell short.
To make long story short, on
the morning of the 3rd day our
skirmish line charged over the
Notifications and compelled the
surrender OF the few remaining
Moros. What a scene of carnage
greeted our eyes. The trenches
were literally filled with dead Mo-
ros, women, men and children
The reader will remember perhaps
that our Hon. John Sharpe Will
liams commented upon this battle
in Congress and criticised Gen
Wood for the killing of women
and children. One little incident

ture of the geological construction is
 interesting, the belief being that it
 is identical with the famous cal iche ground that is causing such a stampede of capital now to Sonora and Southern Arizona.
 From the many sample runs made there are tubes showing the amount of gold returned from each cubic yard mined, which give an exact idea of the particular zone where the val ues are in existence.
 So satisfied are the owners in their initial efforts to make determ- nations of a portion of their ex- tensive interests, that it is probable the Quinner process of reduction will be introduced immediately. This machine works as a crusher, and is attached to either a dry washer or wet process to recover the mineral values. One is in operation at pres ent in Douglas, and to investigate the method of reduction, MT. Shumate stated yesterday that he will go to that city with the object of placing one on the ground immediately. Af- ter the soil dries from the recent heavy rains, Scott and Anderson will return to the camp to resume operations. They are sanguine of having one of the greatest placer mining propositions in the country, and report a rush on to secure ad- iacent ground.

 Tests concluded a few days ago of the Cave Creek placers, situated near Vicksburg, on the A. & c. rail road, have proved conelusively the existence of gold in paying quanti- ties, some surprising results being obtained. Five hundred of the 1000 acres were prospeeted, but further work was suspended on account of the heavy rains.
 Arriving yesterday from their camp, H. L. Scott and Charles An derson, who, with Ed. Snumate and Herman Voge, are the owners, an interesting review is given of the new gold field. MT. Scott, who is one of the original locators, says this was the first extensive exploration by the company, and from the sys- tenn of general sampling made at various points in that large field, the ground averaged from 50 cents to s to the cubic yard. In addition to that return there were many sam ples that ran to a very hign figure, which he does not care to mention.
 The pay dirt lays from one foot to sixteen feet above bedrock, and the best values were naturally re- ceived from the bedrock zone. The soil for about one foot in depth is easily handled, but after that is passed through a caliche or cement formation is encountered. This fea-
