ensign still lloated over It The next
day they were started on the painful march
over winding trails and the stones and
liouldeib of river beds, through gorges and
heavy forests, toward the Insurgent capi
tal, San Isldrn. Itegardlng that march
Lieutenant (illmoro writes "Our feet
were cut liy the sharp stones of the path,
and of the dllllcully In the rocky river
lied, with the great boulders to clamber
over, the banks to crawl up and down,
the waters to wude," and also of "a trail
through the primeval forest a mere path
trodden In the thick undergrowth, beneath
the brunches of mighty trees," and sums
It all up as "a Juurtiey so long and at
times so hopeless that we often despaired
of ever reaching the end of It."
The llrst town reached across the trail
was I'uutah.ingnii. and the Insurgent com
mander of the tnwii. Captain Maria, treated
the prlmners with great consideration, tak

dinner Tlie people were verv anxious to

"Yankees were pigs," as Spanish reports
had circulated it This curiosity continued
until San Isldrn was reached, where there
were other American prisoners Upon

by the lieutenant that he would ho pro
leited to the full extent of his power for
.niv secrets ho might disclose. Thereupon
San, described the size and location of
Cabman, the trails lending to It and the
number of troops, stating clearly that the
only way of approach would be by sea, ns
no attack was expected from that side, but
all other points were well guarded and en
trenched. The next morning Decnmpo appeared at
Lieutenant Taylor's quarters and stated
Miat he thought he could Induce some other
itisurrectos to surrender If he had permis
sion to try. Several hours later ho entered
'own with three men, and one of these
seemed to bo n speclnl messenger and had
a small packet of letters, which was given
to the lieutenant with these words: "I
have been having a hard time and wish to
wash my hands of the lnsurrecto stain."
These letters were nfterwnrds of great
service They were addressed to the fol
lowing commanders. Ilaldomero Agulnnldo,
Simeon Teeson. Urbano Lacuna, Pablo
Tecson nnd Teodorlco Sandlco. No town or
province was written on the envelopes, but
simply. "Wherever found." a most titling
address Some of these would be found
serving I'nclo Sam, but the news had not
reached the headquarters of the republic
ho moving capital. The letters contained
words of encouragement and commendation
and to some new nnd higher ranks were
glvea.
