ACT WAS NOT TO HIS LIKING
American Soldier Properly Resented
FiIipino's Insult to a Spanish
Officer.

The story is told by an English ma
val officer who witnessed the occur
renee in Manila: CAS- I was crossing
one of the numerous bridges across
the Pasig. river, saw a native Fill
pino spit In the face of a Spanish
officer, and then run for protection to
the American sentinel, who was pac-
ing the bridge. 1t was some time be-
fore the Filipino could make himself
understood, but when the sentry com.
pretended his action was very prompt
indeed. He handed his gun to the
Spanish officer, caught the native by
the nape Of the neck and the seat of
his trousers, and pitched him off the
bridge into the Pasig river. Then he
calmly took his gun from the officer
and began pacing his beat, as if moth
ing had happened. "-Unidentifed
