San Miguel, Luzon, P.1.,N0v. 1
Editor Free Press :
Dear Sir —l thought I would write
you a few lines and give you * few
facts about our new possessions.
The two northwest provinces of
Luzon, Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur
should interest every person who is
making a study of self-government for
the Filipinos. two provinces
came under American control during
thp campaign of December, 1899
The-natives welcomed the coming of
the American troops with a show of
great cordiality. The Americans im
mediately organized a civil govern
ment for the provinces, and native
ji UL .
governors and presidents, assisted by
other necessary officials, were ap
pointed. Native police forces were
armed with surrendered Remington
rifles, were organized in all the towns,
and for the protection of the people at
large two companies of native scouts
officered by Americans and paid by
the government, were organized and
armed with Krag Jorgenson rifles, one
company at Vigan and the other at
Laoag. Thus under these circum
stances the natives have had every
opportunity to become conversant
with the workings of a good self-gov
ernment.
How have they repaid the govern
ment for giving them this splendid
opportunity of showing their capa
bility of governing themselves 1 Today
these two provinces can muster a
thousand armed insurgents and tuous
ands of bolo men who are waiting for
rifles. They have a spy service that
cannot be excelled. An American
detachment cannot leaae a town with
out some one informing £be enemy of
their destination and probable inten
tions. Many natives living under
American protection are joining the
Katipunians, a secret society hostile
to ttye Americans,and are doing every
thing within their power to aid the
insurrection. It is said that out of
twenty local presidents nineteen have
been found to be favoring the insur
rection with information or by selling
them supplies. It is an almost daily
occurrence for detachments with pro
visions or mail to be fired on. The
soldiers scout the country continually,
but seldom find any insurgents. Gen.
Timo is the man who is manipulating
the “Rising Sun?* government in these
provinces, and thus far he has dis
played great ability in annoying the
American troops in every conceivable
way. and in hiding when pursued by
tbe goldiefs.
One bright morning Tinio attacked
Ratao, but after several hours of hard
fighting he was driven back to the
mountains. This attack was a great
deal like the attack on Laoag, when
the insurgents were going to drive the
Americans into *he sea. The insur
gents were so confident of success that
they brought a largo number of ox
carts which were to carry away the
American ordinance and commissaries,
and each insurgent was spurred to the
utmost by the thought of the big
cavalry horse that he should possess
in the morning. The attack began
about 8 o’clock p m, and by 12 all that
were able had fled and the carts were
converted into ambulances, The next
day the prisoner buried sixty black
bodies.
In a recent engagement with the
insurgents near Cabogas two men be
longing to K Troop, Third Oavalry
were captured and kept as prisoners.
A few days ago they escaped and
passed through hpre (San Miguel)
yesterday. The boys (Lyons and
Scott) were guarded by a corporal and
three men, one man staying awake
while the others were sleeping aaound
them. The sentinel guarding the
prisoners fell asleep,and in the twinkle
of an eye tbe boys took his Mauser
rifle and twenty-five rounds of am
munition. About a mile from camp
they slipped by a native ontpost, and
none too scon for the alarm was
sounding. The fugitives pressed on
ward all night through valleys and
over mountains, and crossing deep
rivers, hardiy stopping to breathe un
til they reached the American outpost
at Dingras.
The returned soldiers had many
interesting things to tell about Gen.
Tinio and his men. Tinio had with
him 475 men armed with rifles apd
300 bolo men. These were five
American deserters with him, one of
them holding a commission as Lieu
tenant-Colonel Nearly all the in
surgents were married, and every day
their wives brought up rations and
clothing, and when the army or de
tachments from it were on the move
the women would form the advance
guprej.
Tinio has captured one U. S. army
wagon, several mules, ten cavalry
horses, a number of Krag rifles, and
various other government supplies. He
told the prisoners that he would re
lease them as soon as Jlryan was
elected, lhe leaders of the insurrec
tion are confident that if Bryan is
elected the troops will be withdrawn
and everything will be turned over to
them. Under no circumstances will
the insurgents go into a fight against
the native scouts. Tinio claims that
if McKinley is elected the scouts will
all desert and join him, and that he
will immediately organize and put ten
thousand armed mep into the field.
The prisoners were ireated well, hav
ing plenty to eat and while on the
march they were carried in hammocks.
Tho general gave them $4 for pocket
money and told them that if they
would join his command he would
give them commissions. But they
declined and sn less than a week from
that time they were numbered among
those of Liet-001. House’s command
which was sent to drive the insur
gents from their strongholds, but upon
reaching the place it was found to be
deserted.
T must close now for this time.
With regards to all ray friends, lam
Respectfully Yours,
Bailey.

James Oollins was convicted in the
U. S. District Court last Wednesday
of the robbery of the post-office at
Mesa on Sept. 29th last.
The evidence was purely circum
stantial, but it was of such a strong
nature that it left no doubt in tbe
wind of the jurors as to who the
guilty party was.
It will be rememb< red that the
post-office was entered und about sl,-
000 of money and stamps taken. The
safe was blown open by two shots of
some high explosive. The robbers got
safely away flora town, J>ut were soon
followed, and were arrested by Con
stable Wm. A. Burton at Tempo.
They were placed in the local jail there
but broko out. Oollins was subse
quently re-captured by Jlepqty Sheriff
W. W. Moore, but his pal has npt yet
been found.
Several of our citizens were sub
phoenaed as witnesses on the trial,
and their evidence, together with the
circumstantial evidence easily con
victed the prisoner. He has not yet
been sentenced.
This was the third time the local
post-office had been robbed and Col
lins is the first man to be convicted.
C. F. Willcutt has returned from
Chicago, where he baa been attending
the Northern Illinois College of Qph •
thahnology and Otology. He had
taken a correspondence course before
leaying Meqs, apd' his visit there was
to perfect himself in the practical
work. He now carries a diploma
making him a Doctor of Optics. He
will open an office with Johnson the
i jeweler, and will be open on Fridays
| and Saturdays of each week. Eyes

CHANGE IN TIME.
A new time table is now in effec|
on the entire Northern line.
after the west bound trains will arrive
at Ash Fork each day at 12.10 p m,
and the east bound train leaves therd
every day at 5.55 p jp. Trajpa ftfHyp
each day from the west at Ash Pork
at 5.30, and leave for the west each
day at 12.35.
Our local train will leave Ash Fork
at 6 p m, arriving at Prescott at 8.5 f
p m, and arriving at Phoenix at g.{(
a.m. It will leave Phoenix at 11.oC
p. m. each day, arriving at Prescott at
Prescott at 7.0 Q a m, and
there at 8 am, and ajriving at
Fork at 10.4 Q a.m.
The west bound trains are reportetj
to be overloaded with tourists who ore
coming west in search of houses and
health,' It is said that in some cases
the railroads are unable to provide
transportation for the great number.
Arizona no doubt will attract a verjr
large number, this fall and winter,
and it is to be hoped that many
them will make their permanent home
here. Wo. need good solid citizens,
and should make every effort to ad
vise them and make them acquainted
with the advantages and possibilities
of this valley. J
The beautiful Christmas service en
titled Herald Angels will be given at
the Baptist Church next Monday cra
