The first soldier to return to Oregon
from Manila was Wiu. Wann of Wald­
port, who stepped off the train at Salem
Saturday morning. He was inv alided at
Manila and sent home on furlough, his
health having been impaired by moasles.
In an interview with a Statesman
reporter he bad the following to say
among other things: “Of course, we
were all anxious to see Dewey. Dewey is
supreme over there, and he is the idol of
the boys; there is always a small crowd
surrounding bim, gaping at him in sheer
admiration. 1 confess I nasdisappointed
on my first view of the great admiral, as
I had expected to see a man of large and
dignified presence, somewhat commen­
surate with the renown he had won, but
he proved to be well under any such pro­
portions, and is, in fact, not more than
five feet, five inches in height, solidlv
built, bnt he is ‘all there,’ just the same,
and I was soon his devoted admirer,
along with the rest. Aguinaldo, an in­
finitely lesser man in all else, is a giant
in stature compared to Dewey, being at
least six feet tall. He is intelligent and
ambitious, and in default of gaining his
own ends, bows submissively to Amer­
ican supremacy, and if be obeys him­
self is likely to be treated with consider­
ation by this government. But he is
Malay, and Malays have a treacherous
strain that is never eliminated. Aguin­
aldo difiere radically from his fellows,
the FilippiuoB, who are veritable pigmies
in stature, and deficient mentally.
“Manila and Cavite are full of deep in­
terest for ns now, and the boys are get­
ting curios of all sorts. Amoug the
souvenirs are a lot of bullets dug from
one of the fortress walls at Cavite, along
which the very governor we brought
away from the Ladrones used to liue up
his victims for ‘target’ practice, when he
was commandment there.
“There is no question of American su­
premacy jn the Philippines. It íb the
universal conclusion, ami everything on
the island is bending itself easily aud
naturally to this end.
“I think Admiral Dewey expects more
or less trouble with the insurgents, but
he and General Merritt are masters of
the entire situation, and will remain so
at all hazards, and on this hypothesis I
am forced to believe our boys will be
kept there for a long while yet. Some
people think that we signed for service
'for two years or until the war should
end,’ but we did not; we signed for that
time ‘unless sooner discharged,' so you
see they can keep the boys for the full
term if they want to.
“The Filippinos are going to be hard to
govern on account of their gross ignor­
ance and semi-barbaric instincts; when
they are friendly there is nothing too
good for you, but once their animosity is
aroused they are bitterly vengeful and
treacherous. They had an idea that we
came there simply to free them, drive
out the Spaniards and install the natives
in power, turning everything over to
them, and now that we are holding them
in check and administering things gen­
erally, they are very crestfallen, and
quick to show their angry disappoint­
ment.
"The traces of war are everywhere vis­
ible around Manila bay. I saw one in­
stance of the superb gunnery of the
American sailors that was simply mar­
velous. An immense, old-fashioned,
smooth-bore gun waB mounted on the
walls of Csvite, and during the engage­
ment it must have been swung broad­
side on to the fleet, for in its breech there
appears the clean cut hole made by an
American shell, clear through the Span­
ish metal. Of course our boys fired at
the enemy’s guns, but that they should
shoot them through and through seems
little short of a marvel to me ”
