E. H. AULL. Eirruv. THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. Conditions There as ToW by a Man M Has Been Serving iQ the U. S. Army In Manila and Has Just Returnt d. Mr. J. Roland Lyles, who this w4 returned to Newberry from the Phi pine Islands, where for two years i six months he has been stationed, sE ing in the United States Regu Army, talks interestingly of islands, their prospects, of the Am can soldiers stationed there, and th relations with the ntives, and the < look for peace. Three years ago he joined the ai and just two and one-half years r.ge went with his company, the Sixty-i Coast Artillery, to the Philippines. command was stationed at Manila, that place bas been their headquarl during their whole time of service. has seen several pitched battles, his company the most of the time, engaged, in little skirmishes, in wh few men were lost on either side, bu number of Filipinos captured. 'I guerilla warfare is the only kind t is going on over there, and has b about the only kind since the Ameri army went to take possession, wh they have not as yet done. When asked about the fighting, the prospects for a general pe throughout the island, and a peacea American rule, Mr. Lyles said tb were now no organized bands of ing gents. There is nothing but bu whacking here and there, and it i most difficult matter to get at the surgents. That is where the trou has lain all along. They someti organize companies in the interior a special purpose. and the compar are sometimes disbanded within minates. There is no telling how 1< the war will go on in this manner. the prominent Filipino generals cc manding regular commands have n either been captured or surrender but the Americans are gradually ti out by this bushwhacking mode warfare. He said that a few captures were i being made. Scouts and natives v have joined the American forces now doing the most effective work. to the treatment given the captur in all the cases that had come uni his observation bhey had been tried, until July of last year, under tbe la existing there, and after that time, der American laws, and after be given a just trial, punished accord: to the offenses they had committed. had heard various reports of prison being givern the water cure, as it cle,in order to extract informatj in the army, but he would not vot for the truth of these reports and col not say from personal experience t any harsh treatment was ever accort them.' In reply to a question as to the nu~ ber of American forces in the isi and whetber or not they were suffici4 to keep in check those hostile to 1 existing order of thiogs, Mr. Lyles plied that at present as well as he col reraember there are about 85,000 tro4 in the islands, and this number v soon be reduced to 30,000. If the sai conditions continue to exist as at these are suicient, but should the pt ple rise again they would not sta any showing whatever. As to the general characteristice the people and their ability ('or se government, the natives around 1 cities are very intePmgent. Of coui there are some in the ir>terier who as yet wholly uncivilized. The low class are dark skinned, kinky bair4 about the same color and appearar as the American negro. They have idea of morality or decency. Son times they go half dressed, sometia without any clothes on at all. The highest class compare very w with the average Japanese, are nea dressed and very religious. La th religion they are strictly Catholic. fact before the Americans took poss sion, ft was considered a very gra offense to profess any other religit This class is generally friendly to t Americans. The fighters are composed of clasges' but mostly of the lower. co manded by men from among ti:2 'aig b classes, whose object is the plund th'ey .-ay be able to secure. They m be compared to the American high we men we read of in stories of Jee James, except they have not t: courage. About one-third of the whole popul tion is friendly. The great trouble 'j Americans have in making the nativ friendly is that the Catholic pries have every where gone before them ai imposed upon them, and wberev these priests have preceded the s< diers the people are hostile. They a very treacherous, professing friendsh to your face, and as soon as your b.a is turned, hesitating not a moment murder you. The highest class of people, I thit would be capable of some sort of se government, but don't think the go ernmient would ever be strong or jos They have been brought up on ti principle of every man for him self, at the devil for us all. As to the climate, the American so diers from the North who have bee used to a cold climate, have a go. deal of trouble, but it is nos very har on the Southern soldiere. Howve about two-thirds of the casualtiesi the whole army are from diseases eoi tracted, and about one-third as the r, .nl os ..oundr eceaived in hattie. The soldiers, when they have become accustomed to the climate and to con ditions, like the islands very well. They have been put down as an awfully bad place in which to live, but they are not by any means. A man can make,ago>d livingthe,b?c use wag_ ho are good and there is plenty of work tC be dot.e. The principal business mer are Europeans. Some soldiers whc have been mustered out of toe ari ek have gone into business in Manila and P- other places, and are fast becoming ,nd wealthy men. rv- As to the best way to bring genera lar peace in the islands, Mr. Lyles thought the and the soldiers there thought, th( ir- general in command should have ful ere authority, and not, have to take order lut- from a man in Washington who knowi nothing whatever about the conditions my which conditions are constantly ebang he ing. Under the present arrangement irst there is no telling how long the bush ais whackers may fight, and I don't be ind lieve there will ever be peace until thi ers general in command is given mort He authority. And that is the genera but opinion of the soldiers throughout th( fas islands. ich t a FURMAN ON NEWBERRY. 'his hat Tells About Her Pub!ic Men-some otte Matters een san [To the Editor of 'he State.] ich When we were a school boy we firs learned to reverence the name of tha md great and good man, Judge John Bel ace ton O'Neall, whose memory, like tha ble of so many other eminent men of ou ere State, is not properly appreciated a ur- the present time. Last week we ha( sh- the pleasure of paying our first visit to . a Newberry, the town where Judgi in- O'Neal lived, and while we don't in ble tend to write it up, there are some ob nes servations that -e would like to make for In the first place we will say that i ies is interesting to note the number o ten prominent men now living in this pleas mg ant town. Judge Y. J. Pope is ai A1 associate justice of the Stat( m- supreme court. Col. Georg( ow Johstone is an ex-congressman an< ed, candidate for aatioonl senatorial hon red ors. Col. 0. L. Schumpert and Mr of George S. Mcwer were both in thi State Democi-tic primary of 1898-tho ow first for governor and the second foi ho attorney general. Mr. E. H. Aull i! ire Governor McSweeney's private secre As tary and candidate for secretary of State ed, Mr. Cole L BIease is candidate foi ler lieutenant governor and was also can up didate for that position two years ago ws Newberry is the only place in Soutk in- Carolina that has furnished two pres .ng idents of the State Press association ing Messrs. W. H. Wallace and E H. Aull. He Ot&side of Charleston, Newberry is er the only place in the State where a per isson lives that has written a history o: .o South Carolina. This historian is Mr. ers John A. Chapman. who besides writ cing a well knownr school histor3 ld of our State, has written a his 2at tory ofEgfield county, a sup. lplement to JLIdge O'Neall's "Aunab of Newberry," and has also written m-poems. Perhaps there are few peoplE nd in our State who have read the Eng mDt lish poets as closely as Mr. Chapman. he During a call which we paid him he ex. re- pressed the opinion that Mr. and Mrs. dBrowning were the greatest poets that sever lived and wrote in English. Another New berian who has contri Sbuted to the historical literature ol w,our State is (Col. D. A. Dickert, whose O' "History Qf Kersruaw's Brigade" is one nd of the most innerosting works relating to the Confed+ rat war that we have of seen and it is a work tbat the future ~lf historian and geneuologist will find ol he much valu- as a work of reference. It se is a great pity that such volumes are Snot appreciated by our people. ist While in Newberry we visited the d,graded school and saw a good deal of ce the higher grades We unhesitat no ingly say that Newberry has an admir e- ably behaved set of young people. es We numbered among our college mates at the South Carolina college a el trio of students from Newberry: John :.y Kinard, Burr Johnstone and Jim Bur rt,on. These young men are all doing In well, Kinard is a bank president, John stone is superintendent of the graded ve schools, und Burton is prominet in Srailroad circles. It is indeed gratify eing to point to such men as former al olg ae.McD .nald Furman. Un Privateer, Sumter County, Marcn 17, er 1902. er Clever Young Men.
