F, I and K. of the Twenty-sec- ad infantry, took his men across the p Grande at Arayat, in bunches of 50; sported his collection of a dozen or so affalo carts loaded with ammunition and IPPiies to the other s.de; passed the Imp of BatsOn's Macabebes and marched wn the road three miles. The Macabebes ook themselves out of their nap at mld- gght, silently fell in and pattered off (wn the road in their bare feet. These kratlons looked small and unimportant. 'A reconnoissance to discover the ength of the enemy," some one re- irked. But no. The enemy had heen Iconnoitered In a few qifiet expeditions a ;ht or two before. This was nothing ss than the advance of Lawton's column im Arayat. General Toung hellevcs llt- ln marshalling his forces In battle al ly and starting forward amid the blow- of bugle calls, to rout such an enemy the Filipinos have proved themselves be, on occasions without number In lese operations in Luzon. While supplies 2re still stringing into Arayat, and ngs seemed to be in about as great Infusion as they could possibly be, Bai lee and Batson were ordered to walk irth and clear the road. ie Macabebes struck off silently into a wh.ch they themselves had previous- selected. Intending to reach at daylight spent directly in the rear of the trenches Icy knew ex.sted at the harrio of Liber- la, about six. miles Tip the river. The rcnty-second Infantry battalion was to eh forward -at daylight and attack the Ltrenchments from the front. Lowe's louts, a band of 70 plainsmen, good lots detailed from various regiments, and sme 30 Tagalogs who eaw service with ie Spanish army, were to move along on e opposite side of the river and pre- nt a retreat of the Insurgents by ewim- wc. Missed the Trail. ie whole scheme was frustrated by the let that the Macabebes missed their ln- ided trail and found themselves at day- rht obliged to advance directly on the iLpInos' entrenchments. But this cir- Imstance gave the Macabebes a chance to low their mettle. The fight at Liber ia was their maiden effort, and their Ibut as fighters in conjunction with lerican troops. Up to this time they had infined their operations to night expedi- ans out from the town of Macabebe, Iclr home city. rinding it impossible to get to the rear Jaertad without detection, Lieutenant itson swung his swarthy little charges ito skirmish line and ordered an advance fon the place. He may have had his sgvings at first, but they were soon spelled when he saw his skirmish line swiftly forward, creeping and on the jrt. The rebels broke the stillness of Ie gray dawn by a volley. Click! went Be chambers of the Macabebes carbines. (id In a. trice it was give and take. There is no Inclination to fall back, but, on e other hand, Batson feared for the Ifcty of his command on account of their rap.d dash forward. He saw the time a charge, and the spirit of his men is r pe for it, and he turned them loose. 4 "here was nothing slow -or quiet about evolut'on that followed. "With defiant Ills the Macabebes sprang for the lair of sir countrymen, the insurgent Tagalogs. ie Macabebe fell. Then, catching sight those barefooted advancers, the rebels the trenches gave one despairing yell. ch meant to them worlds, "Los Maca- ibes'." and fled for their lives. The Mac- lebes saw no danger in getting too close. ie.r bare feet carried them forward, and fey fa.rly played tag with the fleeing argents. s General Toang ate his breakfast in rayat he could hear the distant din of early morning battle, which sounded far-off taps of a muffled drum. hcrell he a report In from there di- ?tly," he said, and then he gave orders have a certain organization ready to ish forward, and render assistance if report warranted the sending. Shortly fore U a Macabebe courier delivered ?utenant Batson's report. It said: pur killed, eight wounded among insur ants. Have captured many rifles and soners." "Macabebes Are Conilng." )etails of the rebel side of the Llbertad tht gleaned from prisoners captured In ter operations of Young's brigade, were the effect that the Macabebes adminis- pcJ a terrible punishment to the little Bud of 200 insurgents that morning. No ler than 35 badly wounded men were xgged up the country through San jdro -end Cabanatuan. Among the 68 "crs Batson captured were a rebel stain and a lieutenant from the bat- lion of Manila, one of the most deter- fned bands commanded by Agulnaldo, .r rickname by the Americans was i .naldo s Own." The remnant of this b e aggregation ahle to fight hounded uwih the village of Cablao, 13 miles ' m Arai at. with a whoon and a yell. , d the .habitants decided to leave for j cr country. "The Macabebes are com- ' -was the slogan of their precipitous , -t. t he rame "Macabebe" is applied In a bal sense.

Major Baldwin's battalion of the Twenty-second infantry was left to hold Arayat. In Aliaga, Lieutenant Batson, riding ahead of hlB Macabebes, and waving his revolver, captured single-handed some bull carts which parties were attempting to run out of town. They proved to contain the complete telegraph office, with Tecoras and late telegrams, and with the outfit was taken the telegraph operator himself, who had "Communlcaciones" stamped on his hatDand. The town of Aliaga had been in direct communication with Tarlac, Agulnaldo' s capital city, that day, as tel- efcituxia louuu in tne possession oi me op- "THIS WORLD IS ALL erator conclusively showed. Among other interesting things these messages devel oped, was that Agulnaldo had been in Tar lac that day In fact, had written some of the messages giving Instructions to his generals in regard to heading off the ad vance of the Americans In some Instances and retreating in others. Startling: Neivs. One captured telegram contained the startling information from some spy in San Isldro that General Lawi on and Gen eral Toung had both been killed. General Lawton's remains had been embalmed and sent to Manila, and those of General Young Interred in San Isldro, amid cannon salutes, the telegram said. And then an other purported to be evidence furnished by a telegraph operator who had been accused of running by his superior officer. This operator complained bitterly because he was not allowed to run when all the soldiers around him were permitted to re treat at full tilt on every occasion. The cavalry at Aliaga and Talavera took with them three days' rations for each man, with orders to make this food last five. Ths was a sort of round-about tip that the want of rations must not be al lowed to stand in the way of accomplish' Ing all the discomfiture possible, to the enemy. The point was well taken and during the stay of Parker at Aliaga and Hayes at Talavera, many a chicken fell a prey to hungry troopers, and many a man learned to eat boiled rice. Both de tachments had lively times -during the five days they remained. Batson moved out on a reconno'asance trip from Aliaga on November 2, and came. upon an ambush the Filipinos had pre pared for the American forces between Santiago and Saragosa. Lieutenant Bou- telle, in command of one of the compa- nies. was killed. The rebels had selected an entrenched position across a deep canal, through which the Macabebes found tt - -nprpssarv to charee to tret at them. Lieutenant Batson reported that he saw six dead Filipinos after his skirmish, and there must have been many more hidden in the tall crass. "We came upon several insunrents hiding in the canal." wrote Batson, "and we left them there." on getting the news of Batson's fight. barker, with a laree command of cavalry. immediately moved out from Aliaera and then took place what will be known as "Parker's raid." The Macabebas were in- rPnsed at the killing of Lieutenant Bou- telle, one of their most respected leaders, ani tney fell in with a will alongside ol fho Wcr hnr;es. It was a 16-mile crosa- Ai,n1 - - ir (Vhncn tlirnmrh rivers anrt MtiaN. crrnmns nnd mud "holes. Not a barnn in the vicinity was left unsearched. The troopers say they saw 24 dead Filipinos during the day, but the Macabebes say "On, I feel Eleepy." they saw twice the number and they sure ly ought to know, for they traveled afoot and wriggled and crawled through places where the horses could not follow. Thirst for Blood. Their thirst for blood had been awaken ed and they set fire to an entire collec tion of 20 huts before they could be re strained and cautioned to desist from such operations. "Casas de los insurrectos," they pleaded, and this excuse, that the houses were those of insurgents, was no doubt correct A Macabebe can all hut smell an insureent a mile off. and it onlv needs a close view of a Tagalog to obtain i - ii ' " i T ."'

The deserted houses of the village of, , Cablao furnished shelter for all the men. Many commands failed to reach that point until darkness had settled down, owinj? to the difficulty experienced in hauling the supply wagons and artillery through and around many deep bogs encountered Jn the road. This led to a rather extraordi nary occurrence. A squad of Macabebe soldiers was sta tioned for the night on outpost duty, where the road entered the village. The unmounted cavalry and some companies of infantry drew along, weary, exhausted and ill-tempered, with dragging their can non and ammunition carts through the various sloughs. Cablao was their oh jective point, but they knew naught of its. location, save mat tne road tney traveled A FLEETING SHOW." From. St. Paul's. led to it Suddenly through the darkness ahead came the cry: "Halto! quien vive?" the challenge of the Spanish army. Friends for Foes. This unexpected hail In accents unmis takably native spread alarm among the command. Having no soldiering experi ence with the Macabebes, no one thought of them, but it occurred to all that they had encountered a rebel outpost. With surprising alacrity the troopers gained the roadside and crouched. The Maca bebes were alike nonplussed. No answer came to their challenge. The opening shot of the little battle which Immediate ly followed In the darkness came; no one ever took the trouble afterward to dis cover from which side. Company G, of the Thirty-seventh Infantry, fired a volley dead ahead in the darkness. The Maca bebes answered it. The bullets of the Americans spattered about in the town, and there was a general rush to arms. The Macabebes were perhaps the first to discover that a mistake had been made. They heard commands given In English, ceased firing themselves, and endeavored by loud shouting to stop the promiscuous hail of bullets beginning to fall about them. The engagement was checked be fore any more serious result was reached than causing a wound in the hand of a Macabebe. Advancing to the village, the men of the Thirty-seventh made haste to become acquainted with -the Macabebes and apologies were mutual. From this time forward the Macabebes did good service. They especially distinguished themselves about Aliaga. AN ARMY ROMANCE. Lovely Celia Miles "Weddc'd Playmate of Her Childhood. The story of the courtship and mar riage of Cella Miles, General Miles' only daughter, by Captain Reber, as to'ld in the Baltimore American, is one of a man's devotion to1' the Ideal of his childhood and youth. It Is an army romance, with one of the army's loveliest women as heroine and one of its bravest men as hero. To little Celia Miles big "Sam" Reber was always her boy hero. He was so big and strong, and, though he was 35 years older than she, he deigned to play with her, and she exulted in the honor. They were happy times for Baby Miles, when her parents visited Judge Reber's family, or the Rebers returned the visit, because they always meant some glori ous romps and delightful hours, tete-a-tete with "Sammle" Reber. She liked him because he told her sto- ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. ,.' 2. "Yesslr, rm "hurrying:." 3. " -' ' .' rles. She had her first fearsome thrills over "Red Riding Hood" and the dread ful bears, when Cousin Sammle's voice fell to a sepulchral whisper, as he told the old fairy tale. He was quite willing to convert himself Into a four-legged ani malsometimes a camel, often an ele phant oftener a horse, according to her gracious pleasure that she might ride around the parlor' on his back. The1 first cloud upon her juvenile happiness was his mustache. "You look old, now, like papa," she said, regretfully, and so great was her awe that she never found courage to ask him to be a hoxse or a camel againt ,, V, ,.,)fi WHY WE WIN JOUR FIGHTS OUR SYSTEM OF SCOUTING RENDERS SURPRISES IMPOSSIBLE. American Soldiers Go Into Rattle in Open Formation, and. They Keep Going: Until Further Orders." " " In view of the repeated British reverses In South Africa, It Is interesting to point out the leading features of American mil itary tactics. The British army has suf fered i roimrepeated surprises. The Amer ican system of scouting' makes these al most Impossible. The reader of the history of our civil war will note the fact that there were few surprises and no ambuscades worthy of mention during the period of Its du ration. Our wars with the Indians had Impressed "upon our tacticians the value of a corps of "goqd scouts, and a study along this line has. suggested many im portant changes in our entire strategy. The introduction of the breech-loading cannon, with Its destructive projectiles, and of the magazine gun, with a tra jectory of two and a half miles, has likewise conspired to produce an import ant modification of our tactics of. attaca and defense. Our system now involves a perfect protection against .surprise; the exposuie of as few men as possible to the fire of the enemy; precision and ce lerity of movement;. full co-operation of supporting lines In attack and defense. Fiequeut rifle practice, too, Is one of the things that make It perfect. On the march the army takes no chances of a surprise or unexpected attack. Pro tected on flank, front and rear by those wary feelers called "advance guard," "flankers" and "rear guard," which may comprise one-fourth of the army if neces sary, It is utterly impossible for an enemy to approach it unawares. Every Precaution Adopted. When the army goes Into camp or biv ouac. It again takes every precaution against attack. All approaches are close ly guarded, every road over which a hos tile body might advance is covered by outposts. When the scouts announce the presence In force of an enemy the ad vance regiment halts and awaits the com ing up of the main body. As soon as practi cable, the position of the enemy Is un covered and a reconnolsance of the ground In his front Is made. If conditions prove to be favorable for an attack, the com mander at once disposes1 his forces for battle. He divides his army Into three parts, designating which shall comprise the fir ing line, which the support and which the reserve. The first part, presumably one third of the array, is expected to bring on the engagement. The cavalry Is ma noeuvred so- as to prevent flank move ments by the enemy. Each of these parts Is a brigade. A brigade Is composed of three regiments of 12 companies each. The regiment Is also divided into battal ions of four companies. A full brigade (Infantry) comprises about 3000 lighting men. It may be accompanied by three or four gun batteries of artillery. To cover the attack and at" the same time uncover more fully the position and strength of the enemy, a corps of scouts is sent forward. These are instructed to carefully conceal themselves! from the en- emy, but accurately locate him and never lose sight of him. Covering the Front. When within 1400 yards of the enemy, the commander of the attacking column deploys his forces Into sections of 16 to 24 men each and" 7nove forward. , At" about 1200- yards the sections are deployed Into lines of squads, and advance about 300 yards more, when they are deployed as skirmishers, or Iri open order. In this formation the entire army front is Cov ered. If it be more practical to move a portion of the command Jn columns of fourg, the deployment in line of squads is made from that formation. These has ten to align themselves with the" advance. In the meantime, the commander will have ordered up the artillery. This, going into battery at favorable points eleva tions Commanding the enemy's position, if such are accessible, being chosen begins throwing shells Into the enemy's line, or engaging his artlllerv. It may be that much of this artillery work becomes nec essary to cover or prelude an attack by the Infantry, It being desirable to crip ple the foe as badly as possible before the assault Is made. The firing line now advances, its scouts . covering it When it has moved for ward about 200 yards, the commander of the supporting column puts It in motion and closes up to within 150 yards of the advance, so manoeuvring as to be able to Telnforce any part of It. The reserve also moves forward, so disposing Its forces as tb be in a favorable position to take ad vantage of any emergency. When the scouts have come wltihln 800 yards of the enemy they await the coming of the firing line. Volley Firing1. The firing line continues to advance, reserving its fire as long as is deemed best" but exposed bodies of the enemy may be given a volley or two, if within the zone of effective firing. The com mander of the line designates the number ,of volleys. At about 800 yards the com mander of the firing line orders volley firing and beglng a succession of ad vances and halts. By this time the support will have come up with the firing line and becomes a part of it To make room for it the orig inal line deploys to half distance, and the support takes the same formation either to right or left, according to Its plan In divisional battle line. At 500 yards the advance by rushes Is ordered. Rushes of 50 or 60 yards are made, alternatively by sections; Those sections not in the rush maintain a heavy fire, from cover, on the enemy until the rushers have reached a goal, when they, in turn, spring forward, and passing the others 25 or 30 yards, go to cover, kneel or He down. This method Is pursued until everything Is InjTeadlness for the final charge. In the meantime, the surgeons have es tablished a field hospital outside the zone, of the enemy'3 fire, and an emergency r-Fllegende Blaetter. station as close up to he firing line as is practicable. When men begin to fall, they are borne away on stretchers by the hos pital corps. The desperately wounded are taken to the emergency station, the slight ly hurt to the field hospital.
