S. McClure Co. ) Promising only that thin Is written at your request , I gladly send some particulars as to the men who , having long since won dlntlnc- tlon In the bloody warfare waged with the Indians on our western frontier , eought scr- vtco In the Philippines , and wcro with us at Manila. Fororaost of all stands Lawton facllo prlnceps. Away back In the 'COs and ' 70s when our Infantry and cavalry were scattered - tored all over the territories , spending long months of every year In ecoutlng and skir mishing with the nimblest fee that ever faced A white man , and wo youngsters used to discuss about the campflrca the merits ot the men who seemed most conspicuous In this moat perilous and trying service , , there were regiments that eeemed torevcr destined to bo In the thickest of the fighting. Tbo Seventh cavalry never knew what It waste to have a restful summer they were forever I I on th trail. The Fifth cavalry mv own ! I regiment fought Apaches from ' 71 to ' 75,1 I Sioux and Cheycnncs In ' 76 , chased after 1 Noz Pcrces In ' 77 , the Dannocka In ' 73 , ntid "pitched battled" the Utcs In ' 7D. The Second i end cavalry woo for long years pitted against the Northern Chcyenncs , the Sioux , the Blackfcct and the Plcgans. The Third cav- courage and coolness and ivrre eho5on bvi their superiors for most Impo'i.uit duties. In some of which , n Crook expressed It , they "carried their llvc In tb.-lr hands.

' ths frontier force had everything to lose and practically nothing to gain. Hut for a long time , .taveral months at least , the Indian fighters of the old da > s had few rcpresentatlveo In Manila. Our tlickss corps commander , Major Jenernl Gils , I * Is true , had once out-generilcd Silting Bull on the Yellowstone. Our first d'7 ' < nlon com mander , Major General An'Jarmn , hid had long experience against the Indltns of west ern Texas , and along the Columbia. The little wjuadron of the Fourth cavalry nas commanded at first by Santord Kcllogg with a Hghtlng record from old Fifth rivalry days when he led bis troop In cverv cam paign of his regiment Apache , S'oux , Chey enne , Ncz Perco and Ute losing three flngera to supplement the scars if Chlckamauna. Then thicker succeeded and trl l against tin Filipino the tactics ho had learned lit tha Ninth "Brunettes" as cffeitlvo ngalnst the Llpane and Klowns on the ntakcd plalus. But the oldest cavalry captain on duty last winter In Manila was still wearing the cadet gray when the Fourth fought its liar lest Ind an battle In November , ' 76 , and gallant Jnrk McKlnucy went down leading their wild charge. Ill * WiUoh Wit * .Shot 111(0 Him. The battalion of the Third artillery and the light batteries of the Sixth numbered among their officers In the Philippines ono name , .it least , na renowned for daring and devotion In Indian battle na It become for skill , courage and ability In action against the Insurgents In front of Manila Harry Hawthorne ho whoso watch was shot into his system , driven by a Sioux bullet at the battle of Wounded Knee. Only two regi ments of regular Infantry were with us ' when the Filipino war broke out the Four- tocnth and Twenty-third both famous as Irdlan fighters , and but few of the men , who led their stalwart detachments In old [ I Arizona and Wyoming days remain with | them. Death or other promotion had long slnco removed them from the rolls. Yet Ovenshlne , now colonel of the Twenty- , third and brigadier general of volunteers , was a captain In the fighting Fifth Infan try in the days of Its fiercest campaigns. Potter , major commanding the Fourteenth , was a graduate In frontier service with the Seventeenth Infantry , and Murphoy and Mo- ' Gammon had served a quarter century on the frontier with the Fourteenth. UlK llrnvo Lnwton. Then there was another , a veteran , who were the chevron of a sergeant In the com pany of engineers when It sailed In to help the squadron ot the Fourth cavalry that hot day along the Paslg bluffs between Patercs and Paranaque. Quarter of a cen tury ago he were the yellow lace of the same grndo In Payne's troop of the Fifth cavalry was the best shot in the regiment and won a name for coolness and bravery In many a fight. Ho looked not a day oldnr | In Manila than when ho was hailed as | "Paddy" Nihill of the Firth Horse and who can tay that the experiences of Ihe Indian campaigns were not of the utmost value when , as more than once happened , the Filipino rides blazed at them from three sides at once ? And to , just as in the old ilayn of the decade Immediately succeeding the civil war , wo now speak of Lawton a.nong the Indian fighters at Manila ES fore.nost and the only attribute he seems to have out grown Is caution. There ho Is , magnifi cently tall , athletic and muscular , gray as n badger , but alert as a terrier. Ills keen ryes havu lost nothing of their fire and his slrlilo nothing of Its scope or elasticity. Ho can outwalk and outrldo many a youngster oven now and to say ho Li tireless puts It altogether too mildly. Ho came to my headquarters the day after his nuslgnmcnt to tlio command cf the First division and wo lode out to the lines together , ha on a big black American horse and I on a little runt of a Filipino pony. The contrast was so funny the soldiers on guard could hardly keep from laughing ; some of them didn't after wo had got u few rods away. The/ line had been selected when he had only a small force with which to hold It , but by the time Lawton arrived the Twentieth and Twenty-second Infantry hod been sent to reinforce ua and ( be Fourth came with him , so ho decided to push farther out to where a long and moderate rldgo crossed the front from the Paslg toward Oven- shine's left. The Filipino campa , wo know , were not far over that ridge and their out- jicsiH could sweep It with their Maueers from a distance , while my volunteers with their hard-kicking Sprlngllolds could not reach them. The regulars , however , came with their long-rangwl "Krags" and about the first thing Lawtou did was to order the selection of a dozen crack ehota from each company In the First brigade and for these ho obtained our latest model of magazine rifle. I.iMVtoii'N I'lui'Uy Son. This placed us on better terms with "the little brown men" and now Lawton vsa * ready for an aggrct-slvo move. A most gifted correjpondent of a great New York periodical dreed a capital description of the general with the information that ho was a bachelor , yet the first time Lawton rcconnoiteroJ that rldgo a chip of tbo old block , a gallant little fellow in his early teeus , followed his father's movements on a Filipino pony and took his baptism of flro from the insurgent Maueers far moro coolly , I dare say , than did the devoted wlfo and mother three inllca away in Manila the uena that her boy had more than onu close ehavo that afternoon. It was Qod' mercy that spared them both , for tba under * brush down the westward ( ilopo was full of | lurking Tagali ami LawUn had only a squad of troopers to escort him. i ' A day or two after ho rode the old line with mo to "get acquainted , " as he said ) with the officers of the First brigade , and after wo bad reached Haystack Knoll and the earthworks In advance of Cemetery Height , what did he do but dismount , strad-1 dlo the trenches and go stalking out over I the rlco fields straight toward a little height that had never been without Its Filipino sharpshooters until our fellows got their Krags , and might still harbor a batch of them. He got over ground like a slag hound , with long , springy stride- ? and , ordering a dozen Callfornlans to follow and to "cover" the frrnt ns quickly as possible , I chased after him. He reached the top without turnIng - Ing a hair and proceeded to climb and stand erect on a big rock at the summit a mark that could be seen for miles around. I got there "blown" and rebukeful. After flvo minutes' survey ho slid down and again strode away toward the rldgo that spanned the horizon directly to the south. Only our scouting parties had crawled thither before. 1'ljliiK lliilli'l * Dili Not Sonrr Him. Our Callfornlans looked concerned at hi * utter neglect of nil precaution , as I pushed thr > m ahead on the run , but the tri\H was narrow and crooked , the underbrush thick and they could not rush nhead as fast as he ctiuld , even on unobstructed ground. Just. as luck would have It , not ft Filipino hap pened to be lurking along there that afternoon - ' noon yet every pecond I expected to hear the crack of a Mauser or the sudden rush from tho'r lair of an armed party bent on our capture. Once at the tcp wo could ECO clear over to CavHe , across the bay and the country toward Paranaquo lay unfolded before - fore our eyes. Kven as we etood there , the mellow nrtes of a Filipino bugle came float ing on the breczo from a clump of bamboo perhaps 2,000 yards away , and there lay thn Insurgent outposts and there wo could begin to trace a long line of Intrcnchments , stretching away to the southwest across , THE CALIFORNIANS CAME BURSTING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE UNDERBRUSH. airy were our predecessors In Arizona against the agllo mountain Indians and our comrades against the hordes of Sitting Bull , Crazy Horse , Gall and Raln-ln-thc-Faeo In 70.

Then the horses were brought up by n belated orderly and , mounting , wo rode out eastward toward the bluffs overlooking the Delta of the Paslg and the picturesque towns on the Islands below. The Callfornl- ane worn far from their base and couldn't keep up with Lawton's huge , black horse. My pony had to trot or lope and before long vo were far from any supports , with only ono orderly nnd two revolvers. "Vender's where they nearly ehdt my boy , " said Lawton , placidly , after we had gone a mlle , and tha1 ; had happened when the slopes toward the river were dotted with the skirmishers of the Fourth cavalry.

Lawton commended their watchfulness , designated points for their pickets to occupy on the ridge that night nnd sent thorn back to the Paslg two miles away to get their blankets and supper. Twenty minutes Inter , all on a sudden , and not moro than 1,200 yards away to the south , up popped a skirmish line of at least forty Filipinos , deployed facing us. They had been watching us evidently for some time , and , seeing that the Dakota * had dis appeared , they boldly stood up In plain view. The Immediate question was , Will they at tack ? Of course we knw that only a short distance behind them lay the Insurgent camps In the shelter of the batnb os , and fur thermore , that they could speedily summon a 'hundred ' to our one. The llttlo squad of Callfornlans were still with us , crouching or sprawled along the crest , but Iawton stand erect , bis long legs utraddled wide , and calmly surveyed them through his Mass. H only forty advanced wo could probably stand them off with out baker's dozen the ser geant nnd twelve men while Mills , our bravo orderly , galloped to the Dakotas for aid , but they didn't advance , they didn't even open flro. They merely wished us to understand , apparently , that wo had better not como their way , nnd Lawton began to twitch In his Mgerness for a fight. In ton Wiintril lit I'lulit. Ono thing our corps commander especially had forbidden , and that wao that we should bring on a battle while our force on the southeast line was so small. The regulars had all gene to the north to reinforce Mac- Arthur just then , nnd only a thin line of volunteers Interposed between Nortel's swarming camps nnd the walls of Manila , "Good Lord ! " said Lawton , "what a pity wo let those Dnkotaa go ! If they were hero now wo could go down and clean those fel lows out in five minutes. Do you think ? " and hero he turned to me nnd then eyed the llttlo squad of Snn Franciscans. Ho was moro than half disposed to forget his major generalship. Imagine hlinsolf ft subaltern again , nnd lead our llttlo dozen down to the attack. For a moment I thought the temptation might be too much tor him as our eyes met and a grin expanded his sun-tanned face , but the veteran Indian fighter's "horso sense" presently rose su perior to the trooper's lust for n fight , nnd with a sigh and moro than one regretful backward glance , ho remounted and wo rode away. And Johnny Filipino never seemed to know how easily he could have bagged a brace ot silver stars that hot March day , and I was very glad ho didn't. CHARLES KINO , Brigadier General , U. S. V.

New Life for Men and Women * T HAVE proven my theory , which was thit no pain nor debility could exist where the body - wasfull of electricity. Electricity is the source of all animal vitality ; all the vigor and health of manhood and womanhood come from it I have spent twenty years of my life in search of the best mean * of applying this wonderful agent , and have perfected my appliance so that now it is simply perfect I know every pain , every sensation , every feeling of weakness that man is subject to , and have learned how to apply electricity FO as to overcome all difficulty and bring about a state of perfect health and strength. Men who have been exposed to severe weather , to hard work , mentally and physically , to overtaxing of vital forces in one way and another , are quickly and permanently cured by my method Some men have peculiar evidences of decline , breaking down of the vital structure , 'which never yields to medicines. These symptoms indicate a waste or vital force. My way of applying electricity restores all this energy. My method is different from all others , The appliance I use is in the form of a belt to be worn about the waist , but it has no relation in any respect to the old style electric belts , It is a .scientific appliance , giving a powerful current ot electricity , having a perfect regulator to control it , and chamois covered electrodes which prevent that awful burning and blistering known in the old style belts. The wonderful effects are derived from a special method of application ; that is my method , known only to myself. It is by this method that I have cured 10,000 men in the past five years , Are you sick , weak , or in pain from any cause ? Come and let me explain it to you. I can save you years of misery and a lotot money in doctor bills. If you cannot call , write for my free book describing my system of cure. It is FREE. Dt4 M A 2J4 State-st , , Corner Quincy.
