GAVE UP THE G AnniSOIJ
SPANIARDS HOLD ON 'TIL THEIR
FOOD SUPPLY RUNS OUT.
Escorted to tha American Linos by
Filipinos Welcomed and Fated
by Their Recent Enemies.
Manila. (Special.) The Spanish com
mission, who went to Tarlac for a con.
ference with Agulnaldo regarding the
surrender of the Spanish prisoners In
the hands of the Filipinos, returned
here last Thursday. Chairman Del Rio
of the commission said the release of all
the prisoners had been practically ar
ranged for. but it would be necessary
to consult the Spanish government be
fore the agreement could be ratified..
He declined to give the terms of the ar
rangement, or to say whether these
contemplated a ransom. He asserted,
however, that Agulnaldo had already
issued a decree for the release of the
civilian officials and the sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the rem.
nant of the Spanish garrison of Baler,
on the east coast of Luzon, and a num
ber of civilian prisoners, were escorted
by Filipino soldiers from Tarlac to the
American outpost at San Fernando,
and came to Manila by the night train,
The heroes of the long defense of
Baler, where the Spaniards resisted an
insurgent siege for more than a year,
formed a picturesque band. Lieutenant
Martin, the only surviving officer,
marched them through the streets.
There are only twenty-two, and most of
them are mere boys' In faded blue uni
forms and red shirts. They are bare
footed. A crowd of Spanish men and
women embraced them, weeping and
shouting their praises. They tell a re.
markable story. It appears that the
captain of the forces proposed to sur
render, but the soldiers refused. Final
ly, several month? ago, he tried to raise
a white flag, whereupon Lieutenant
Martin killed him. Their food supply
gave out entirely a week ago and they
surrendered to the Filipinos, with all
the honors of war. They were allowed
to keep their arms, and they say they
marched from Baler, with Filipino es
cort, and carrying guns, through sev
eral Insurgent camps, being everywhere
cheeder and feted.

tary Hay said that he had received no
notice from President Schurman of the
Philippine commission of his intention
to sal llmmedlately from Manila for
home, nor any word from hm since his
return from his trip to the Philippines
south of Luzon. It was fully expected
by the department that Mr. Schurman
would return to the United States In
season te take up his work as presi
dent of Cornell university at the begin
ning of the fall term, and it is believed
that he undertook this visitation In or
der to be able to report personally to
the president the exact conditions pre

of islands up. to the latest moment
There is believed to be no reason why
Mr. Schurman should delay his depar
ture from Manila until later In the sum
mer, for the Indications are that there
will be no change of moment in the
political situation in the Philippines be
fore the next dry season at least and,
moreover, the members of the com

STORIES OF SANTIAGO.
fvo Marksmen who Silenced a
bpanlsh Gunboat.
The Second infantry, stationed In
The Angle," were much bothered by
in old muzzle-loader which the Span
ards had been firing from the nearest
:orner of Santiago. Every now and
hn a hot shot would be dropped close
.0 the trenches of the Second, and the
men who had to dodge didn't like It
Through their glasses they could see
the Spaniards, who were standing
.round and evidently chuckling over
their work. So they sent to the left of
the regimental line with a request that
Lieutenant Mulr and "Gun Sling Jack"
be sent to pick off the Spaniards from
the gun that was worrying them.
"The Angle" was a sharp bend in
the trenches, the nearest point in the
lines of the Second to the big black
guns across the plain. Lieutenant Mulr
and Jack came up. Just as they
reached the corner a solid shot burled
itself in the hill slope ten feet back ot
the line. The lieutenant regarded dubi
ously the hole made by the Spanish
ball.
"I was thinking of lying right about
there for slghUng a shot or two. How
ever, lightning never strikes twice in
the same place: come on, Jack," he
said.
Lieutenant Mulr holds army records
for shooting, so does Gun Sling Jack,
the latter, of course, under his right
name. What that may be, few of us
could say without a look at the First
Sergeant's roll book. For one man that
knew Jack's real name, there were a
dozen at Santiago who knew him only
by his popular nickname. The officer
and the enlisted man lay down togeth
tr flat on their backs. Then securing
their Krags between their crossed
fet, they threw the left hand under
ind across the back of their heads.
In this way holding their rifles firmly
In place. This Is called the Texas
pip and Is Invariably used In the long
Jlstance shooting. After some prelimi
nary squinting and two or three tenta
tive shots the Lieutenant asked:
"What do you make it. Jack?"
"Eleven hundred yards, sir."
"That's about it Let It go at that."
One shot which came while they
were sighting and threw dirt over the
pair almost disturbed their equanim
ity, but they soon paid the enemy well

say, the American marksmen cut
loose. The Spaniard over the waj
wavered for a moment, let slip the shot,
is if relluctant to part with it, and then
toppled over.
"Dead, I guess. I don't know which
f us got him, but he's landed all
right," said the lieutenant.
Quickly another man lifted the shot

lropped. Six others tried to load the
run from time to time. They were
jlcked off as fast as they stepped up.
"Eleven hundred yards, a Texas grir

terved the officer, pleasantly.
"It's a clnrch Just like Sea Girt,"
rrunted the private, while he waited
lor the next man to court death.
But the next man never came. Eight
rood men lost, and the certainty that
nore would go the same way complete
y discouraged that Spanish outfit.
That night, after a long, lone dellbera
ion, the Spanish captain of the big
run, retired to a side room In a cafe In
Santiago and blew a hole In his head.
He could see no other way out of It.

iround the Angle all the next day to

the pair marched back to the left of

their usual duties.
That gun was never again used by
the Spaniards. It Is now in possess
