I ' Ingenious Devices of the Conning
I Troops In th? Philippines. *?1
SERVING as no enlisted man
through the Philippine War, I
came across many odd
trenches, barricades and blockades
erected by tbe ingenious Filipinos,
who always calculate these fortification*
with a view of retreating from
them in the event of being pushed by
tbe American troops. Bui I never saw

Tbe writer acWHfipanied theflrst
large expedition agafnlt-tfe?NWTW/ fit
April, and bad an opportunity to ob-*
serve tbe entrenching customs of tbe
Horo soldier. Tbere is on tbe Island
of Mandanao what is known as .be
lake tribes, and these tribes, or part
of them, are tbe tribes engaged in war c
with tbe Americans. Tbe coast and c
river tribe* are friendly, and many of
the members of these tribes were hired
by the American troops to carry rations
and ammunition on all expeditions to
the interior, where the lakes are located.
The lakes are fine stretches of
water, about thirty-five miles from _
Malabang.
We find barricades of all kinds
across the roads to obstruct the 1
progress of the troops. Trenches of
varied styles are seen. 1
The sketch here, a cross section of
one of these trenches, shows the device
employed?a light bamboo covering.
Earth is placed on the covering, and 3
the passing troops are suppowd to '
break through the top and tumble upon
the sharpened bamboo points below.
If the rroops fell in upon these points
serious results might follow, but care

used. and. as a rule, places of this ?
kind are avoided.
We found many trenches arranged so j
that the occupants could keep up a continuous
retreat and still remain unJcr
cover. A drawing of this scheme is
presented. These trenches are made
alongside tbe rpads or trails, and. in
addition, there are stone barricades
piled at proper angles. The enemy ib
stationed at (d). for example, and maintains
Its flre upon tbe oncoming troops
from this point until tbe proper time
comes for making a retreat. Tben tbe
occupants retreat back to <c). and open
flre; tben back to (f), and so on i% long
as tbe trenches continue.
In this sketch the reader may observe
a plan of a barricade wblcb is built
with tbe Intention of giving a reception
of bamboo points to any one jumping
the same. It is frequently necessary
to rush the trenches of the enemy. ?
and tbe Moros know this, so that they *
prepare tbe back of tbe barricades ,
w?.tb the sharpened points as indicated, j

and tbe cburgers are often unaware of (
the pricking points until tbe.r strike ,

cades made entirely with tbe tborny .
undergrowth of tbe jungle. This sub- |
tance possesses wirelike points, which .

very difficult to force a passage

But tbe ingenious Moro finds a kind of j
sandstone in the hills with which be
builds his barricade. This stone is
just spongy enough to let a shell |>enetrate
without breaking the material.
The natives secure a sort of limelike
prcduct from the mountains with
which tir.'y make a cementing material
to erect the masoury.

1 lufferrd untold misery for a penod
of over five ream with a case of cnrooic
dyspepsia. 1 would rise in the morning
feeling draggy, miserable and unfit for
work. For weeks 1 wou>d be unable
to cat one good meal. After eating 1
would swell and the oppression would
almost drive me crwv. At times 1
would be troubled with spells of dizziness.
Constant worriment reduced my
weight until I was a shadow of my former
&elf. 1 hare been taking Ripiuia
Tabuies now for two months and am almost
cured. Mr old symptom? hare
disappeared. 1 bare gained in weight
over twelve pounds.
