Pershing was one of these. He ad already been promoted a captain in the regular army for bravery at El Caney: now he was commissioned as major in the volunteers and served as such throughout the remainder of the Cu- ban eampaign Ordered to Washington, services in Cuba and the defeat of Spain,_ to take charge of the newly created Bureau of Insular Affairs, he was there but a short time when he received orders fo proceed to the Philippines, in 1899, as adjutant-gen- , eral of the Dep: rtment of Mindanao. Fate decreed that he was to be in those islands for eight years—a most important period in his life.

Captain Pershing was left in com- mand of Fort Vicars. On Sept. 9 1902, he reported to the War Department that there was dan- ger of another revolt. There had been twelve desultory attacks since the Bayana had been subdued, and matters were rapidly coming to a head. The Sultan of the Maciu was the reputed leader of these new attacks, and Pershing decided to carry the war into his country. The Macius had their stronghold on a promontory on a lake. Heavy swamps shut off the promontory from the mainland, so that their fort practically had all the advantages of an island. In fact, the Sultan of Maciu often had boasted that his fort was impregnable. (To Be Continued) served in sev- success against In April of to report Mindanao SEEK LIEUT.-COL. COLLINS.
