MOIIO HERO
IN TOWN
Pershing Famous
As Funston
Was.
He Subdued the Worst
District of the
Philippines.
Now It Is Probable That He Will
Be Ekvatcd To Brigadier-General.
Captain John J. Pershing, the hero
o Mindanao, was In Honolulu yesterday.
He Is on his way to "Washington
via the Siberia to become a member
o the general staff of the army.
Pershing is returning after four years
of sen Ice In the Philippines during
-which he subdued the Moros, the most
dangerous of the riliplno fanatics He
went to Manila four years ago
unknown. He Is returning as
famous in the States as was General
.Funston. whose meteoric rise to fame
brought h'm criticism from regular
:army officers. Pershing doesn't know
he has become famous. In fact he was
more interested last eening In reading
what American papers had to
say concerning him than in telling
about his experiences. For Instance,
recent dispatches tell of his probable
elevation to brigadier general. Pershing
had not heard of it before he
.reached Honolulu.
Captain Pershing did not wish to"
discuss his expei iencesMn the Philippines
at all. though accounts received
j In the States from his superiors speak
j -of his work of pacification in glowing
terms. "I told them that we were go-
Jng to visit them," was all Captain
Pershing would say relative to the
Moros. "I said the last thing we wanted
was a light, but if JtTiad to come
it. Generally we
we were ready for
didn't know whether it was to be a
fight or not. Anyway we marched further
in th- last year and a half Into
the Moro country than'the Spaniards
had done in three centuries."
Accounts which preceded him tell of
a successful campaign among the
,Moros, though Captain Pershing would
not discuss it.
Prior to the advent of Captain
.n Mindanao with his 700 men bad
reports were heard from the Moros.
It seemed impossible to whip them.
As Perthlng said, he would march Into
the Island and it the natives wish
ed peace they could have it. If they
didn't he was just as ready for war.
In the last battle with the Moros
Pershing's men wiped out about 400
iof them with the loss of but two men.
Before the captain left, the whole district
of Mindanao had been practically
pacified. The soldiers marched clear
around Lake Lanao and the natives
om nnnnrontlv satisfied with Amer
ican rule. "From Bacolod north to
Marahul," says Captain KnoraB

General Sumner I could not have done

war. People can say wrha? they will
