SAN FRANCISCO , July 31. ( Special. ) -
The officers of the First regiment talket
freely In answer to < iucstlonn. All were lavIsh -
Ish In their praises ot the men of the regl-
mcnt , and gave glowing accounts of theli
bravery In action. Colonel Harry D. Mul
ford talked as follows :
"I nm honest In saying that I do not be-
llovo n better regiment than the First Ne
braska was ever organized. Tht men hav <
borne what It now seems Inconceivable te
me that the human frame can endure. Whet
there has been action there has never been i
semblance of complaining. The boys have
done guard duty all night and then foughi
all day.
"Tho hard work of the campaign began thi
day It was landed , From that day to 4'ae
day Calumplt fell the regiment was always
at the extreme end of one wing or the othei
of the army. H was the flrat regiment tt
enter Manila 'when It fell last August , ane
It was the regiment to begin the forwari
movement last February.
"Our'lc-sses did not begin until the > Febru
ary campaign. Of our total of slxty-sl )
killed In battle or dead from wounds , onlj
ono mahwas slain previous to that time
The First Nebraska , aided by a part ot c
battalion of the Colorado volunteers , tooV
the waterworks by assault , a six-mile ad-
| j j vancp through the hardest kind of ground
I i dense' Jungle fejr the most part. ' ' *
' "Without" w'hatsoevcr
any assistance we
held th'o works , extending from the pumpltff
station at ono end to the reservoir at the
othciv for over n month. Wo had more mei
wounded during this time than at any othei
period , sometimes two nnd four men a daj
to a company being more or I > MS scrlouslj
hurt.
"Captain Holllngworth of Company C was
wounded on February 17 In ix skirmish ,
fiomo company or another In the regiment
had a fight every day while we hold the
position. The regiment , was divided so thai
two companies were at the reservoir , one
on ( ho road hair way to the pumping station ,
and the rest at the pumping station Itself ,
There was lighting at all hours of the da )
and night.
"When the movement toward Mnl'fos be
gan our plight did not better. Possibly II
grew worse , as we always were at the front ,
Captain Lee Forby of Company G was
killed on March 27 nt San Francisco del
Monte , a plnco seven miles from Mnlolos ,
Ho fell at the flrnt volley that was tired ,
dying In the hospital two days later.
"Colonel Stoteenberg and Lieutenant SIS'
bon were killed on April 23 , and the battle
In which wo lost them was the worst we
had In the campaign. This forward move
ment told as heavily on us na It did on the
other regiments. The heat grew to bo In
tense , the hcnt prostrations numerous anil
the general health of the mem bad.
"Things .wero . the worm with us when Ca-
himplt fell. Less than 300 men remained
for duty , nnd seinjn companies did not con-
tnln fifteen lit men. When wo got back tt
Manila wo were put on outpost duty , never
theless ! , and there wo remained until we
wore loaded on the Hancock.
' "Jhe regiment h.is picked up wonderfully
aboard the transport , and the men will BOOT
be as good as they ever were. A majority
of them are ( It for service now.
'I don't mind saying , jiiht the same , thai
they don't want any more sevlce. Only
ono man re-enlisted when the chance waf
offered. 1 don't care about criticising any
one , only I think thin regiment got more
thun Its fair share of hard knocks. ' It Isn'l
the fault of other people that we are as well
us wo are ) today.
"I do not belloxu that the war will be
ended in n hurry , though I think the Insurg
ents are beaten. The trouble la to catcli
them. There arc no roads , nnd they know
the paths. They can light us from the brusli
'for ' a long time.
"I know that my men do not ndmlro Genera -
era If Otl . He has worked them hard and
thev know It , but undoubtedly ho bollovet
h'liuBalf Justified. I do think that before vic
tory can result there must bo more decisive
movements than wo have had. "
KiiKor Kcucrlln-N llnltlr of fliiliiKini ,
Lieutenant Colonel Kagcr described the
liattlo of Qulngua im follows :
"On the morning of April 2,1 Major Hell
In advancing with the , fourth t cavalrjr ,
landed In a Filipino ambush. One man -wiu
killed nnd several were wounded , The cav
alry was driven back so rapidly that they
left the dead man behind. If wo had knowr
then that ho was dead disastrous Qulngua
likely never would have been fought.
"Tim cavalry was forced directly back or
us. It was In a tight place and If we

had not been there only speed could have
caved It I3ut for the supposed wounded
man In the hands of the enemy wowould
have covered their retreat rather than ad
vanced. Only elx compancs , K , I , U , D , M
and H , got Into the light.
"At the beginning I commanded three ol
them and Captaki , now Major , Kllllau three.
Colonel Stotscnbcrg was not then on the
field. We deployed over the rice paddles
to tho.'plnco whcro the cavalryman fell. Hlfi
body was gone the Filipinos had taken tt.
Ahevijlrof us wo could sec two trenches.
' "As ' 'wo prepared 'to make the assault
floloflel Stotsenberg came onto the field. He
took'command of Companies D , M and II
at the right. I was to take one trench , he
the other. Whllo we were forming Lieuten
ant Wadsworth was shot and a minute later
his rescuer , Sergeant Storchcr , was killed.
On my sldo Lieutenant Slsson was killed
about the same time. We were nearly up
to the trenches -when the colonel fell , shot
through the head. He was a bravo man
nnd a remarkable soldier.
"I do not like the present situation In the
Island of Luzon , from the towns we have
taken It loolm as if we had advanced a lot.
As a matter of fact , we have only got fifty
miles up the most open valley on the leland ,
a valley through which runs the only rail
road on the Island , 120 miles , terminating
nt Dagopam , San Fernandlno. The limit o [
our advance Is about nn even flfty miles
nnd It took us four months to get there.
"Tho people of this country do not realize
the size of the Island of Luzon. It Is larger
than many ot our sjtates 200 by 400 miles.
Outside of the valley I have mentioned this
vast tract has not a single road I mean
wagon road. The bamboo Jungle can be
traveled only 'by ' the Filipinos , who know Its
narrow paths. The armyl henceforth has
got to make every road over which It
marches and , while It Is making Ita way. It
will be menaced by persistent guerrilla war
fare nnd will lose heavily.
"I do not believe the Insurrection will be
broken for several years , though a rebel
army may not again take the field. Army
organization Is not the Filipinos' strong
point.
"I don't blame General Otis for letting us
take the hard knocks he did. It was a plain
business proposition. We were' going homo
and could build up. The regulars -will have
to stay oii' without chan6e to 'recuperate.
Ho got value received from us and now It Is
the turn of the regulars. "
Injor Taylor * ' Iitcnu.
Major Taylor said : "General Otis , from
the standpoint of a commanding general ,
jnay have been warranted In getting the
most possible out of the regiments certain
to bo the first taken away from him. If
volunteers had not been killed regulars
would have been. He has logic on his
aide.

"Tho policy resulted In giving the Flrat
Nebraska a diet of battles more regular
than the Issue of rations. Some portion of
the regiment was In a light every day , for
four months. In one month , In addition to
what may bo termed company lights , the
regiment as a tody participated In five
skirmishes hard enough to bo called bat
tles.
"It Is natural enough that the volunteers
should decide that It was time some one
else worked a little and they were given a
rest.
rest."I
"I commanded the Omaha company until
I became a major , on the death of the
colonel at Qulngua. The hoys In that com
pany are like brothers to me. The com
pany has done splendid work frfom. the first.
It was put Into the trenches before Manila
on August 12 , a year ago , two nights after
two Pennsylvania companies were driven
out from the same spot. Company L stuck
there nnd was the advance 'guard of the
regiment Into Manila.
"When we were defending the water
works last February the company was sta
tioned at the pumping house. During the
advance from the reservoir It was on the
extreme left oi the line , close to the nig
gers. Private DItmer got the first one , killIng -
Ing him fifteen feet away ,
"At San Francisco del Monte , where Cap
tain Forby was killed , the members of the
company buffered severely from the heat ,
there being several prostrations. Two were
killed In the fight Itself. "
Hnjor Kllltnm TnlUx.
Major Kllllam talked as follows In an
Interview :
"The army Is bound to put the Insurrec
tion down , but It will take a lot more sol
diers than wo have got over there. The
bigger force Is needed not for fighting , but
for garrison purposes. It takes a lot. nf nol-
dtcra to defend a country from the attacks
of scattering bands. I think that 50,000 sol
diers are sufficient , provided that they are
supplied with light artillery and are rightly
managed ,
"Hundreds of lives have been uselessly
sacrificed In the last few months because
the authorities persisted In accomplishing
through men and rides what a rapid-lire gun
would have done In half the time without
any of the loss of life. It Is a shame and
I an outrage that thla Is true. Hvery ono
j knows the fact. Some one la responsible
{ and. should be held so , The lives of men
j are not lightly to be throA'n away. ' .
"The need .Is for , roount4iln ba'tte'rles , guns
of sma.ll caliber that ' , 'can be packed upn
the back of a mule. There are no roads and
heavy guns cannot bo employed. The light
ones answer Just as well for clearing a
| Jungle.
I "As a commanding officer , the naddeat
' thing of the year for me was the death of
young Lieutenant Slsson on the clay Colonel
Stotsenberg was killed' , another were blow
for me , The lieutenant , who belonged 'to
Company K , had been promoted recently
from the ranks and I was deeply Interested
In him. The day was hot , terribly so , and
wo were charging up hill when he was ehot.
I saw him fall and ran to him , but when I
turned him over I saw that he wa dead.
"Everything turned black to me , but we
were advancing on the double quick , and
there was no time to linger , I detailed a
man to take the body to the rear and kept
on ,
"Before I reached the top I learned that
the colonel was dead , That waa a sorrowful
day for the regiment. "

APPEAL TO PEOPLE OF SOUTH

and OliHerve the I.IMV.
'ATLANTA , Ga. , July 31. Governor Cand-
Icr tonight Issued an appeal to the people cf
Georgia < to Join hands and put an end to mob
violence la the elate. The governor be
lieves ' .hat the only way to restore a con
dition of peace and tranquillity und to
brlnz c-n end to the lawlessness that has
been manifested In different parts of the
state Is for the people to uphold the courts ,
aid them to bring to speedy justice all crim
inals and by the strong force of a virile
public sentiment bring punishment to law
breakers of all kinds ,
The governor tells of the reproaches
heaped upon the state by tbo repeated out
breaks and says :
The purity of the fair mothers and
daughters of Georgia must nnd shall be
preserved and at the game times the liven
and liberties of nil the lawabldlng negroes
In Georgia must nnd shall be protected. The
good of both races and tbo fair name of
the state demand thin.
The ordinary processes of the law are
amply suftlclent to punish all crimes. Our
Judgrn are pure nnd Incorruptable , Our
juries are composed of our most Intelligent ,
upright men , who seldom make mistakes.
The mob often makes mistakes and the In
nocent are made to suffer with the guilty ,
U never knows where to stop , but after
punishing the guilty , drunk with the blood
of one victim , It tblrfjs for the blood ot
another and often sacrifices on the nltar ot
vengeance thoao who are guiltless of any
crime. Wo munt away with the mob. We
must re-enthrono the law. Wo must rein
state the altar of reason nnd tear down the
altar that passion has erected. Wo must
do this in the Interest of tbo white men ot
Georgia and In the Interest of the negroes ot
Georgia and for tbo fair panic ot Georgia
and to protect the virtue of the women of
Georgia.
f would appeal to alt officers of the state ,
civil and military , to remember that they
are guardians of the peace and happiness of
the people of this state. It Is their duty
to apprehend and bring to justice all who
vlulrto the law.

Several Cleveland military companies will
probably be relieved from duty today by
Adjutant General Axllne. The troops which
have been brought hero from other cities
will be retained until all danger of rioting
Is pawed nnd then withdrawn Rradually.
The boycott movement has reached n point
where It Is almost Impossible for anyone
who rldc.i on the Die Consolidated cars to
purchase the necessaries of life. This Is
especially true in the outlying districts of
the city.
"Do you ride on the nig Consolidated
cars ? " Is the almost general question put tea
a would-be purchaser by the merchants. If
the answer Is In the affirmative the customer
Is politely Informed that ho cannot be
served.

Every branch of the Big Consolidated
system was In full operation today , but

lines the cars carried very few If any pas-
Ming ? . That they boycott hag become a
moRt Important factor In the struggle be
tween the company nnd Ita striking em

The nig Consolidated officials say that
the movement Is bound to fall of Its own
weight within a few days.
On thu other hand , the labor union leaders
declare that the "boycott " has Just begun ;
that when It reaches Its full scope all Classes
nnd Interests will be affected.
Not only are the Big Consolidated lines
In Cleveland to be boycotted , but all street
railways and other properties In other cities
In which President Henry Everett Is In
any way Interested , the strike leaders state ,

The Cleveland naval reserves under com

of an agreement to work longer than elgh

NBW YORK , July 31. Governor D. M.
Jones of Arkansas , replying to a query from
the Times as to tbo lynchlngs in the south ,
raid : "In my judgment the so.called delays
In the administration of criminal law so far
as Arkansas U concerned have not been the
cause of the lynching of any person accused
of crime. The lynchlngs In thla state have
generally been In cases of rape , and
especially when the assault has been made
jy a negro upon a white woman ,
"This crime Is so heinous and revolting
that a ! ) the laws In the world , no matter
low te\ere the punishment or how upecdy Its
Infliction , cannot , iu my judgment , prevent
lynching when the a-cuscd falls Into th
hands of the enraged mob.

none , except the cessation of the crime It

may bo used to sweeten a church or for
purely lighting purposes , they urge the
clergy tor the sake ot the peace of the
church to discontinue their use as part of
the services.
