SERGEANT WILLIAMS
ON THE PHILIPPINES
TALKS INTERESTINGLY ON THE
WARFARE IN MANILA.
Treatment of the Soldiers and Gen
eral Otis' Administration All That
Could Be Desired Insurrection
Practically Over and Present
Trouble Due to Tiencherous La
drones, Who Terrorize the Peaceful
Natives Scranton Boys in the
Service in the Philippines.
ScrRi-ant Hubert 11. Willi mis of
t'nmpiiny O, Seentientli tcRlment,
United States Infantry, who Is now
on n thlity-ilay lc.ie of absence fiom
military duty, returned to Ills home
In this city yestenl.iy from New Yolk
nnrl when seen by a Tilbuuo man rjioKj
Intei estlnBly of the compalRii In tliii
rhlllpplnes, throuRh which he passed
iluilnp the pat-t M'.ir, li.nlnt? been on
the tlrltiK line fiom Feb. 28 until At.
4. DuiIiik tint time he wan In n posi
tion to obtain n Keneial ltnowledKe of
how the war Is conducted.
After bis tinntfor to a elcilcal posi
tion on Cicnnal Otis' staff Mr. Wil
liams was aho enabled to be In close
touih with the head of the aimy and
he unhesitatingly states that the pre
fent plan of action, both on the Held
and In hoadiiuarteis, Is conducted and
directed In the most capable manner
possible. The soldleis are not only fed
and cared for as well as can be, but
are treated with the utmost couitesy
and icspect by their superior ofllcers.
in icferenoe to yotWK men enlisting
In the service, the set scant says tint
now Is the time to join the army, but
he would not ad l any one to enlNt
unless they are fully equipped for duty
and c.ipible of withstanding any hard
ships thnt mlffht necessarily have to
be endured In warfare. The volunteer
has no business In the army, he thinks,
and In time of peace the Rovernment
should equip a st-indlnff army of 100,000
men and be prepaied for any enicig
enc: WHAT THEY LACK.
Mr. Williams does not belittle the
merits of the olunteeis, but he claims
they lack the leadeis and training
which Is absolutely necessary In such
cnmpalKns as the regulars have passed
through In Cuba, Tuerto Rico and the
Philippines.
In leffaid to the flRlitliiB In Manila,
Serjeant Williams says th- battle was
piactlcally ended on Auk:. 0 of last
!,ear, and that the waifare inw being
cairled on Is due to the persistent ef
forts of small bands of Ladrotus, who
aio aimed and tcuoilze the pMctful
natles and Incite them to antagonize
the piogiess of the Ameilean annv.
They aie the most tt delicious of the
natives and ao!d captuie by secret
Ins themselves In the outsktts of
Manila.
An eldence of bow well equipped
they were Is gleaned fiom the fict
that the Seenteenth reglme'i alone
captured r,000 stands of Mamcr lilies
since the fighting began, and that onlv
represents a partial number of the
guns that weie In the possession of
the Filipinos. The lebels aio physi
cally able, but mentally Incapable of
competing with the Ameilean soldiers,
who are daring, feailess and InMII
gent anil well governed.
Mnnlla Is under n strict mnitl.il 'aw
and Is guarded by two leglments of
Infantiy and tm butalions of ntll
lery and the provost martial guarl 's
stationed at the vailous outposts. The
government N fully Jnstllled In '"iny
ing on the waif.ue, Mr. Williams says,
and the peaceful natives are nnx'oua
for a discontinuance of hotllltlos anl
want protection from the bandits and
thieves v ho ne icsponslble for the
present tiouble.
Kl'Triti: OF THK ISLANDS.
Hegar.lliu; the futuro prospects on
the Islands, lie says that unless the
Ameilean capitalist inwidos the towns
and tmploy t:ie natives they need not
expect to compete with the Filipinos.
American woikmen have io business
there, he thinks, as native machinists
ran be employed for L'", and .10 tents
a day.
In his opinion, the war will bo over
beloie ho letnrns on Fibiuaiy 10, but
It will be necessiry to maintain a
small sized nimy In th Philippines to
cary on the work of ieolutlonl7lng
things there, flcni'ial Otis N the hatd
est worked officer In the service, "Bob
by" says, and Is a muth-abusod man.
General Joe Wheeler Ik too old for
active service and incapable of com
peting with the men in the nrmy to
day. Mr. Williams spent about a month
In Japan befoie returning to the Unit
ed States nnd says that Is a sieat
country, and thnt the natives nie un
doubtedly preparing for war with
Russia, While there ho visited the.
ttnny headquarters, where fifteen iegl
ments of Infantry are stationed and
ten batteries of light artillery. The
latter Is drawn by hand and the sol.
dlers are harnessed together.
Among tho Scrantonlans whom Mr.
Williams met In Manila wore Corporal
Sweeney, a former member of Com
Look for Our
pany n, Thirteenth reslmetit, who has
recently been released from the hospi
tal, having tecovered from wounds io
eclved while engaged In the firing
line. He Is now quartermaster ser
geant of Companv H. Twenty-ttrut
regiment, United States Infantry.
Dr. Petinvp'xcker. whti van formerly
located In the Hundley block on Wyo
ming avenue. N alro In tb sorvlco
and is a member of the hospital corp3.
He Is engaged as an eye specialist
and Is held In high cstem by his com
rades. Captain Tate. Fon-ln-law of
Hon. and Mrs. J. A. Scranton, who Is
a member of tTie Third United States
cavalrv, N also doing duty In Manila,
and Is nn Ideal soldier, Mr. William
says.
OTHUn SCRANTON MEN.
Two other Scranton boys In Manila,
whom he met were Corporul DanM
Morgans, a brother-in-law of Clem
Marsh, and Ilert Knapp, formetly of
the Thirteenth regiment, who nre now
members of the Nineteenth United
States Infantry.
Mr. Williams Is making an effort to
secure his discharge from the service,
as he has a tempting offer to go to
Nltarauga. and If he falls, It Is his In
tention to return to Manila nnd con
tinue In the service.

by a dynamo and tho light is exceed
ingly powerful, casting also an Inten
