Member of General Staff Corps.

Gen. Duncan served a tour of duty at
| the War Department as member of the
General Staff Corps for four years, just
prior to his assumption of the command
of the Department of Texas early last
| spring. He had an active and eventful
spring. He had an active and eventful ca.
| reer. The playmates Of his childhood were
mostly Mexicans and Indians. His father
desired him to become a physician, but
he had an inherited preference for mill
tary life, which was gratified when Presi-
dent Grant, in 1873. appointed him a sec
| ond lieutenant in the 21st United States
Infantry. He first won distinction as a
| soldier in the campaigns against the
Apache Indians. and later won a brevet
| for gallant services against Indians in
| Idaho in 1877.
| Gen. Duncan participated in the Cuban
campaign during the Spanish war as cap
mended for gallantry at the battle of San
Juan Hill. He served several terms of
duty In the Philippines and was in COM
| mand of the Department of Min
| oanao during serious uprising
Of the Moros, and also commanded
| the expedition which captured the Moro
stronghold at Mount Dago, in 1906 The
Moros had strongly entrenched themselves
at Mount Dajo and rejected all terms OF
surrender Gen. Duncan took about $50
HleH from the 0tQ Infantry, the Stn
Infantry and the 4th Cavalry and dividing
them into three divisions scaled the forti-
fled heights. The Moros put up a stub
born resistance and fought until practi-
cally annihilated.
In Crater of Extinct Volcano.
The fighting lasted three days and in
cluded hand to hand fights in the crater
of an extinct volcano where the natives
finally sought refuge. Most Of the Moros
| were armed with bolos and native
| weapons, but many of them had modern
| rifles.
They were no match, however, for the
Americans, who managed to haul their
guns up the mountain side by block and
tackle and used them with terrible exc
cution. The Moros were utterly routed
and suffered a less of about 500 lives.
| BY some military critics Gen. Duncan's
| exploit at Mount Dajo was entitled to
| rank with Hooker's fight above the
| clouds or with Davis routing of the
| ModocS out of the lava BEDS
Gen. Duncan commanded the 9Th In
fantry Tor nearly eight years, the latter
part OF the time being stationed in Mon
tana and North Dakota. He came to
Washington as member of the General
Staff Corps in August, 1907, and was
placed in charge Of matters pertaining
to the infantry arm In January. 1911,
he was promoted to the grade Of brig
adler general and shortly after was
placed in command of the Department OF

HOUSE TARIFF PLANS
AWAIT SENATE ACTION
Chairman Underwood An
nounces Policy of the Ways
and Means Committee.

I'VE will have to have something more
from the Senate than talk about tariff
before we will introduce any more tariff
bills" said Representative Underwood,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mfttee, at the close of a meeting of dem
ocratic members of the committee today.
The meeting was called to discuss bill
that would revise the cotton schedule and
to examine the report of the tariff board
on cotton. The committee already has a
cotton bill prepared, one that is similar
TO that passed last summer and vetoed
by President Taft, but this will not be
introduced unless there is a disposition
in the Senate to act on the steel, chemi-
cal, wool and sugar schedules already
passed by the House this session.
s'Thus far we have heard no news from
the Senate relating to tariff program
that would warrant the introduction OF
any more tariff measures, Mr.. Under
wood continued. Senator Cummlns has
threatened to force action on the bills
before the Senate. but this committee
wants action before 1t goes any farther.
We will have a cotton bill in our pockets
ready to push through II the Senate acts
on what is now before 1t.
Senator Simmons Expects Action.
All or the larlH DlllS tfdI nave pdSScu
the House will be disposed of by the Sen
ate before the end Of this session. and
possibly without interfering with plans
for early adjournment, according to Sen
ator Simmons. in charge Of these meas
ures in the Senate.
when the agricultural bill is disposed
Of we will take up the metal bill again.
said Seantor Simmons today, land after
q few more speeches we will fix day
for a vote. Naturally. appropriation
bills are given preference when they
come up, in order to permit the confer
ence committees to get to York on them
as soon as possible, but 1t is not intended
that they shall long prevent consideration
of the tariff measures.
The senator said the chemical bill would
follow the metal bill and after that would
come the wool bill. he thought the de-
bate on these measures would not be SO
extended as that on the metal bill.
The general understanding is that the
progressive republicans will dictate the
tariff course Of the Senate. The demo-
Gratis are expected to go on record for
their own bills and then accept the pro-
gressive republican measures with such
notifications as they can obtain.
