THE STRUGGLE IS PROLONGED ~~~~?. i Xy These People, and Englishmen Assert to the American Soldiers Their WORST ENEMIES ARE AT HOME. The Soldier Boys Anxious to Contimi? tho Struggle and Bring It I to a Finish. From Our Soldier Correspondent AXGELMS, I>UZON, Philippine lslunds.Sept. 20.?Probably no two armies knowing so littii of the methods, the lighting ablution and the resources of each other ever waged a war of such magnitude as this. Bach day since the outbreak of hostilities hus added something new tegarding the enemy's characteristics. Native prisoners, on the other hand, assert that the Filipinos "no sube" Americans. And thnt is about all that you can get from a native prisoner. He Is as stolid ns an Indian and behind the screen of his "no sabe" (don't undemaftd) he evades answering questions which might lead to valuable information. Even the native women and children have acquired this convenient method of refusing to impart a knowledge of the enemy's whereabouts. Why this Js true has always been an inigma to Americans. In every village you march through, a few inhabitants remain who kneel in prayer as the advance guard enters the town and who carry Jars of water to the thirsty marchers as they tramp through Inter on. Hut while they attempt to kiss your hand in abject humiliation whenever occasion offers, they nbsosutely refuse under the plea of "no ? aav nnvthinir regarding the In surrectlon or about those who keep It alive. I have seen both men and women cross questioned separately regarding points with whose details they were perfectly familiar. Agulnaldo could never have learned who gave information under the circumstances, and yet, as the legal phrase hath it, they "stood mute," or perhaps gave misleading answers. Hence the only reliable information regarding the enemy comes from either escaped Spanish, English or American prisoners who enter our lines or is gained by scouts through perilous undertakings. Angeles, the most advanced American position on the north, has become the door of entrance to many former prisoners as well as the rendevous of almost dally scouting parties. Its garrison has thus been kept pretty well Informed as to the latest development * In Airuinaldo's territory. The stories of all these prisoners are cumulative to the point that the rebels have no military prisoners In any sense of the word, but to each city in which rebel troops are quartered Is allotted a. Je* prisoners who can readily be moved from place to place as necessity demands. Thus nearly every town which the American forces capture yields several sorry looking prisoners who, In the confusion of retreat were nble to elude the guard's vigilance. After the almost insane joy at being again In friendly hands has subsided somewhat, all these eratwise unfortu| nates are taken directly to headquarters, where every detail of their knowledge of the enemy's strength and position is elicited. To the northward from Angeles the railroad's level bed stretches straight as a string for nearly two miles. Down this stretch of track have come dozens of released prisoners since our occupation of the city. So numerous arc the Spanish captives within the enemy's lines that the wonder Is that r.o few not so many escape. BUT WHEN A 1'RJSONER OF ANY NATIONALITY BECOMES TOO SICK TO HE MOVED WITH HIS GUARDS, HE IS FURNISHED A PASS THROUGH THE INSURGENTS LINES AND IS TURNED OUT TO REACH CIVILIZATION AGAIN IF PHYSICALLY ABLE. So well acquainted with the marksmanship of our artllleymenaretheenemyon our front that the approach of any party duwn this strip of railroad is usually lb.* Ilr.it indication that they are bearIns a Hag of truce. About a week ago a bugle call from down the track brought gunners to their feet in an instant. iWupne! was aimed at the party or insurgents whose desire- to enter tli" n. ; :Ik> bugle heralded and' THE THREE Hpj GUNS AT THE RAILROAD OUTPOST WERE KEPT IN READINGS:-: IN CASE THE WHITE FLAG PROVED. AS IT FREQUENTLY HAS DUNE, A BARBAROUS RUSE TO GAIN A TEMPORARY ADVANTAGE. A squad of my regiment, also bearing the emblem of truce, advanced to meet the enemy Three splendidly dressed Filipino officers, each with a retinu?? of orderlies and servant*, somewhat startled the Americans by requesting permission to visit General MacArthur to arrange for thj release of nil American prisoners now held by the insurroctos. The request was so unusual and :u little expected that its granting was a foregone conclusion. No practical rcsuil is as yet upparent as n result of the i (inference but no good reason ceems to. exist why their absolute promise to i 'toie all Americans within their lines should not he fulfilled. , . In the twilight, a few days afterward, two more white Mags bobbed up above tlr brldg* Being In charge of the outpost for lb" day, i soon headed a squad which vent to meet thorn, Even In the fulling light iv" knew ut once that tha two tti'-n wh? cautiously approached were not natives. Hopes ran high of their being the advance guard of the long delayed American?, but our welcome was none the leu sincere ivhen we discovered they were Englishmen. One wan the master of the coiasting steamer "Elsie," which had gone ashore on the north coast, while th* other claimed to have been the secretary to one of the Spanish governors of an Interior province. While waiting for orders from General Wheaton as to their disposition,' the' outpost listened very attentively to every detail which the wayfarers sow to describe. Their story differed materia Hf from the tales of earlier arrivals. We^iad been led to believe that the rebels were short of ammunition and that the Insurrecto army was gradually disintegrating. The Englishman averred that rather the contrary state of affairs existed. Food was plentiful, their story ran, while tobacco, wines and other articles of comfort and luxury could be bough,t at Tarlac and Dugupan .far cheaper''than for mc niBrKci iirivc qumcu ui ?nium. There seemed to be no dearth of recruits to fill alt vacancies In the army nor ordnance or ammunition with which to equip them. They stated; that recruits were being drilled In every town through which they passed and that only a day or two previous to their departure from Tarlac, quite &< body of this freshly acquired material had been distributed along the railroad on our Immediate front. In fact, their descriptions pictured' the Insurrection as getting along swimmingly and that all but the northern provinces seemed well content with "Aggie's" regime. Whence came ull this ammunition and army supplies they were unable to state, but they intimated that blockade.running was a very profitable employment just ut present. ' MOST POTENT, YET PROBABLY MOST TRUE. CAME THEIR NARRATIVE OF HOW THE REBEL PRESS COPIED EVERY ITEM OF AMERICAN NEWS UPON WHICH A CONSTRUCTION COULD BE PLACED AS FAVORING THE INSURRECTION OR SYMPATHIZING WITH THE MOVEMENT WHICH IT EVIDENCED. EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECHES OF EVERY SO-CALLED ANTI-IMPERIALISTIC MEMBER OF CONGRESS WERE QUOTED. THE RAVINGS OF EVERY "AUNTIE" IN THE LAND WERE SCATTERED BROADCAST TIIROUOH THE PROVINCES. PRINTED IN TWO LANGUAGE" WERE ALL SORTS OF ?? ???" nmo fAWnjIVIMl"! HUP I rAntrauuaio v-wninuw?i? VIEWS OF THOUGHTLESS AMERICANS WHICH APPEALED TO THE TAGALO MIND JUST AS EFFECTIVELY AS THE BEST WORDED EFFORT OF AGUINALDO. "YOUR OWN PEOPLE AT HOME ARE YOUR WORST ENEMIES," the Englishman said. "THE INSURRECTION HAS BEEN PROLONGED TIME AND TIME AGAIN BY SOME APPARENT WAVE OF SENTIMENT IN THE STATES WHICH BID FAIR TO OVERWHELM THE ACTION OF CONGRESS WHEN THAT BODY NEXT ASSEMBLED." The Englishmen laugheJ when we questioned how the Filipinos were able to obtain all these papers and magazines from America. "THEY GET EARLY AND ABUNDANT NEWS OF EVERYTHING WHICH TRANSPIRES IN YOUR COUNTRY," camfi the reply, "AND MOREOVER BY THE TIME IT IS FILTERED THROUGH THE FILIPINO PRESS THE READER GETS ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE STORY." There is every reason to believe that at Jeast a portJon of the story related by these men is untrue, but that the wily Insurrecto leaders are making the best of every adverse criticism of the war and every anti-administration editorial of a partisan press there can be no doubt. After the prisoners had reported to General VVheaton. some very interesting and serious discussion t took place in the box cars which shelter the outpost reserve during their period off duty. The thought of an abundance of rebel ammunition "was scarcely given expression, ions or mm nau come in the direction of the American lines upon numerous occasions without causing much comment. The mere fart. If It be a fact, that the other fellows were living on the fat of the land, also cut but little tlgurc In the discussion. "YOUR OWN PEOPLE AT HOME ARE YOUR WORST ENEMIES." WAS THE EXPRESSION WHICH FORMED THE THEME OF A SPIRITED DEBATE. You listen to common sense dfscusslons very frequently In the army. There was not a man of the scorc or more who expressed his views on the subject, but grasped the real situation perfectly. None were so narrow minded as to hold that the American people were encouraging the Insurrection, either directly or Indirectly. but upon the comparative few who. by utterance of pen or speech, have given the Tagalo an opportunity of Justifying his conduct and continuance of the present contllct. the strongest Invectives in the Midlers' vocabulary were hurled. Frankly speaking, however, the American soldier in the Philippines has utterly failed to "sabc" the great American public. For a time It looked as if the administration was as uncertain In Its policy ns popular sentiment still seems to be. THEN CAME THE CHEERING NEWS THAT WASHINGTON HAD AWAKENED TO THE SERIOUS CONDITION OF AFFAIRS OVER HERE AND THAT FRESH TROOPS WERE BEING RECRUITED TO HELP THE TATTERED FELLOWS WHO HAVE BORNE THE BRUNT OF THE CONFLICT SO LONG AND SO WILLINGLY. Ilut so far as the Philippine resident can determine by reference to n press which is more or less tainted with partisanship, popular opinion seems to have been focused In no particular direction. THE ARMY HAS. FROM THE FIRST, ADVOCATED A FIGHT TO A FINISH IN THE STRUGGLE AND NOW. THAT IT HAS GAINED THE ADMINISTRATION AS A POWERFUL ALLY. THESE SUNBURNED FELLOWS WILL CAMPAIGN WITH MORE HEART IN THEIR WORK. I SHOULD PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN NO UNCERTAIN TONES ADD ITS DISTANT BUT POWERFUL INFLUENCES TO THIS COMBINATION OF ARMY AND ADMINISTRATION THIS CONFLICT WOULD COME TO A SPEEDY CLOSE. An interesting story Is told In connection with Agulnaldo's ofTer and promise to restore the American prisoners who have been scattered through the province* north of ^ngfelei. One of the Englinh prisoners stated that the order nf release was published while lie was In Tar lac, the present capital of the Insurrectionists. It seems thnt Agulnaldo christened a young (laughter not long ago In true Oriental style. After the entertainment bad warmed up considerably, Agulnaldo bethought him of the gracious gifts which mighty potentates of old were wont to bestow on enemy and friend nllke. Hence an >dlct was the outcome of this christening which set at liberty the prisoners who now seem about to reach their countrymen again. If this be the real reason for the strange request of the Filipino otllcers It would scarcely surprise any one Acquainted with the role which the rebel chieftain has elected to play. Pomp mid ceremony nrc vital adjuncts to power In the Orient. The Englishmen told us that you could scarcely catch u glimpse of Agulnaldo even as he drove for plensure on the streets of Tarlac, so thick In the swarm of courtiers and body guard about him. But Agulnaldo Is too shrewd a man of the world to deliberately play a trump card when the game doesn't call for It. The christening of an Infant daughter may have furnlshod au oxcuue for liberating le gitlmate prizes of war, but back of 1 kindly act is a subtle purpose to be I complfshed. These insurrection leaders crave I sympathy of the world In general a of a very susceptible class of Ame cans In particular. Sympathy read leads to the eondonance of flagrt misdeeds and directs public attentl to a cause which has been almost li sight of un'fer present condotions. have no doubt that the prisoners, wto they arrive, will have been prope cared for and loath to say that th were mistreated.
