Within the next dec-ade the achievements of the American Army and Navy in Cuba and the Philippines will have become a vague though glorious memory. Out of the shadows of obliv- ion will loom the figures of Dewey, Schley, Sampson, Shafter, Lawton, Otis, Chaffee, and a few others. The rest will have sunk into comparative obscurity. It was so with every war of the p>ast and it will be so with every war of the future. The public at large cares but little for the endless intrica- cies and movements of the game of war. Given the news of a great victory, it is satisfied with the few all-important facts and with a hero to worship. The newspapers and current pub- lications reflect this tendency to look only upon results and to concentrate upon the few the popular approval of the victori- ous Army or Navy. Thus it is that in every war of magnitude thousands of men in uniform lay down their lives for the mak- ing of a few military reputations. It is with the modest aim in view of furnishing some sort of tangible record of the achievements of a not unworthy por- tion of the "Line” that this work has been attempted. The Sixth United States Infantry has many times proved its mettle, whether in redskin fray, civil strife, Cuban chaparral, or Orien- tal archipelago. It is believed that the Sixth of the present is interested in the Sixth of the past. The record of the organi- zation is a long and honorable one and reflects that of the Army and of the Nation. It furnishes a standard to be lived up to — a glory to be perpetuated. If. in the present volume, the record of deeds and events preponderates the discussion of causes and effects, it is because these latter subjects have already been discussed in many vol- umes, from many points of view. The facts are here set forth, for the most part, without comment; with no desire to expound history to the men of the regiment, but to show them in the fewest possible words what a glorious old organization they form a part of. Before publishing, the proof-sheets of this work were submitted to Colonel C. \Y. Miner, commanding the regi- ment. and were revised by him. It is probable that in spite of the utmost efforts to secure absolute accuracy, a few slight errors have here and there crept in. but such will be found to be few and unimportant. 10 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U.

History lias been defined as “philosophy teaching by exam- ples,” and we are told that the way to develop character is to come in contact with character. Therefore we have presented in this volume the heroic example of the long list of wor- thies who have composed the Sixth United States Infantry during its hundred years of history and history-making, that lliose of this present and coming generations may be put in touch with these heroic spirits and imbibe from that contact some of the lofty patriotism and sublime devotion to duty that have characterized the officers and men of the Sixth Regiment from its. organization. A study of this little volume should bring a just feeling of pride to every man connected with the organization. We are the successors of a noble band and their glory is our heritage. Yet. while we are partakers of their glory, upon us alone de- pends the solemn duty of maintaining the honored name which the Sixth has ever borne. It is believed that familiarity with the history of the reg- iment wdl contribute in no small degree to the development of that esprit de corps so necessary to an army organization. We are to make good the sobricpiet which the regiment has won — - "The Fighting Sixth.” Another thought in this connection is that the eight hun- dred officers and men now known as the Sixth Infantry are but a part of a great army composing the regiment. Every man who gave up his life while a member of this organization is to this day a part of it. The invisible host far outnumbers the vis- ible one. And if the spirits of the immortal dead participate in the affairs of mortals here beloT\ , we can easily believe that they are watching with keenest concern the progress of those to whom has been committed the work which they laid down. Rut let us not make the mistake of believing that other times were more favorable for heroic action than now and that 11 12 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY . the men of those times were of a different quality. It is not so. They were men of like passions with ourselves. They made history. We are making it, and the men and officers of to-day are just as capable and just as brave as any whose names adorn these pages. In looking over these pages, you will doubtless be impressed with this fact, that in all the questions that have arisen since the founding of our Government and whose solution has been submitted to that high court of last resort — the arbitrament of the sword, the Sixth has had a conspicuous part. Her history is closely woven wth that of the Nation, and to give her history as it should be would be to paint the history of the regiment on a background of the Nation. All honor is due to the enterprising young men who give us this volume. They are putting important facts in convenient and lasting form. But they do not claim to make a history. It is a mere catalogue of facts. Let us hope that some historian will take these facts and weave them into a history. In a work like this the Sixth stands alone. There are no means of insti- tuting comparisons. AYe cannot tell how great a man is till we see him among great men. So we cannot very well judge of an organization when it stands alone. From our knowledge of history, we believe that the Sixth would not suffer in compar- ison with the best who have ever drawn sword. The events of the past five years are of too recent date for us to get the proper historic perspective, but some matters are clear and we wish to emphasize them in this connection. Never did army go out to light for a higher or more unselfish motive than did the Army of the United States in the war against Spain. It was purely a war for humanity’s sake, and the God of battles did not more clearly show His approval of the cause of David in the Valley of Rephaim than Die did in that cause for which we went to war with Spain. There are some who criticise the action of the United States Government in trying to suppress the insurrection in the Phil- ippines. There has, perhaps, been no writer in the past century who so ably and conscientiously opposed war as Ruskin, yet in his lecture on war, delivered at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, he uses the following strong language: ‘•But, as it is at their own peril that any race extends their dominions in mere desire of power, so it is at their own still greater peril that they refuse to undertake aggressive war, ac- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 13 cording to their force, whenever they are assured that their States in the Philippines will be “helpful and protective”? Can any sane man doubt that the authority of the United States in the Philippines will be “helpful and protective?” Continuing, Mr. Buskin said: “Nor need you listen to any sophistical objection of the impossibility of knowing when a people’s help is needed, or when not. ****** * * ********** * “I tell you that the principle of non-intervention, as now preached among us, is as selfish and cruel as the worst frenzy of conquest, and differs from it only by being not only malignant, but dastardly!” These are Buskin’s words. Whether they do or do not ap- ply to the situation in our own country, we leave it to the thoughtful reader to judge. Someone may be moved to ask, “Why this digression?” Be- cause the Sixth was a leading factor in both these wars and the right is claimed to justify her course. jMo one regrets the part the regiment played in the Philippines, although it was perhaps the first to inaugurate the active, aggressive plan of campaign whose general adoption brought the insurrection to a speedy close. We turn from the past to contemplate the future. We stavd at the dawn of a new era in our country. In that new era the profession of the soldier will be upon a higher plane than ever before. His services will be needed not for plunder or territorial acquisition, but for protecting the weak and the defense of those principles held dear to the American heart. Such service will be consistent with the most exalted Christian character and worthy of the successors of the noble band whose acts are chronicled in the following pages. PART I. Organization to Cuban Campaign, from July 16 , 1798 , to April 19 , 1898 . CHAPTER I. EARLIER HISTORY— 1798-1846. The Sixth Regiment came into existence during the lat- ter part of the eighteenth century. Its first authentic men- tion occurs in the Acts of Congress of July 16, 1798, and March 3, 1799. Out of the thirty commissioned officers belonging to the infant regiment in 1799, twenty-seven were from North Caro- lina, and orders from the War Department under date of Jan- uary 5, 1800, directed that the regiment be recruited in that State. At that time it seemed as though war with France were inevitable, but peaceful relations between the two countries were resumed, and the Sixth was discharged under the Act of May 14, 1800. Reorganization. In 1807-8 the United States seemed again on the brink of war. The affairs of the Chesapeake and Leopard, the Emperor Napoleon's attitude regarding neutral commerce, and the retal- iatory measures adopted by the British Government, caused Con- gress to decide upon an increase in the strength of the Army. Under the Act of April 12, 1808, the Sixth Regiment was again organized, and since that time has remained continuously in the service until the present day. War of 1S12. Jonas Simonds, the first colonel of the regiment, was ap- pointed from Pennsylvania in July, 1808. He led the organiza- tion through the War of 1812-15, and old records show that the Sixth played an important part in the following battles: 15 16 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Heights of Queenstown, October 13, 1812. York, April 23, 1813. Fort George, May 27. 1813. Siege of Plattsbnrg, Y. Y., September 6-11, 1814. Again Reorganized. Under the Act of March 3, 1815, the Army was reduced in strength, and the Sixth was reorganized by consolidation with the Twenty-fifth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-ninth, and Thirty- seventh Regiments. Colonel Simonds, who had remained in com- mand nearly seven years, w r as superseded by Colonel Henry Atkinson, of the Thirty-seventh Regiment. The latter assumed command August 27, 1815, at Fort Lewis, Y. Y r . Yellowstone Expedition. September 4, 1S15, the regiment left Fort Lewis for Gov- ernor’s Island, Y. Y., where it remained until April 16, 1816, go- ing thence to Plattsburg, Y. Y., and leaving that point in the spring of 1819 for its memorable journey through the wilder- ness to St. Louis, Mo. Proceeding overland as far as Pitts- burg, Pa., the regiment embarked on May 8, 1819. The men were housed in small transport boats, ten in number, which were pro- pelled by means of oars and sails. The long journey by water at that early period was one fraught with considerable novelty and peril. The country through which the little flotilla glidrd was, for the most part, an unbroken wider ness, containing but a few scattered settlements and trading-posts. The expedition reached Belle Fontaine, Mo., after a month spent almost continuously on the water. Remaining at Belle Fontaine until July 4th, the regiment once more embarked and in September reached Council Bluffs. Here preparations were made for spending the winter and for providing means of de- fense against the Indians, who at times assumed a hostile atti- tude. The Rifle Regiment, which was stationed several hun- dred miles up the Missouri, was joined to Colonel Atkinson’s command. It was intended to continue in the spring to the mouth of the Yellowstone River, but further progress was prevented by the action of Congress, which declared against the expediency of pro- ceeding further. What was at first regarded as a temporary camp at Council Bluffs became a permanent fort and remained the home of the Sixth for over seven years. Substantial bar- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 17 racks and storehouses were erected of hewed logs, a saw- and grist-mill were built and about five hundred acres of laud were placed under cultivation. First Fort T Vest of the Missouri. Thus was established the first fort west of the Missouri River, and around it sprang up the earliest settlement in Ne- braska — the original Council Bluffs — -twenty miles distant from the Council Bluffs of the present day and sixteen miles from the present site of Omaha. The fort was named after its founder, Colonel Atkinson, but in later years became known as Fort Cal- houn, in honor of the famous statesman of that name. St. Louis, Prairie du Chien, and the fort of the Hudson Bay Com- pany at Vancouver were the nearest settlements to the new fort. Reorganization. Colonel Atkinson was promoted brigadier-general May 13, 1820, and Colonel Xinian Pinkney, promoted from the Second Infantry, succeeded him in command. Under the Act of March 2, 1821, the Sixth was reorganized by consolidation with the Rifle Regiment. August 16, 1821, Colonel Pinkney was trans- ferred to the Third Infantry and General Atkinson again became colonel of the regiment, with the brevet of brigadier-general. In June, 1S23, Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Leavenworth led the regiment from Fort Atkinson to the relief of General Ash- ley’s expedition, which a band of Arikari Indians had attacked and was threatening with extinction. He succeeded in engag- ing and gaining a decisive victory over the Arikaris, putting them to flight and destroying their villages. For this achieve- ment he received the approbation of the War Department. In April, 1S27. the regiment was transferred to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., of which post General Atkinson had the honor to be first commandant. The Sixth was established with a part of the Third Infantry. It was at Jefferson Barracks that the fa- mous old regimental mess was instituted. The post became the Infantry School of Practice. After two years had been spent at Jefferson Barracks, Com- panies A, B. F, and H. under command of Brevet Major Bennett Riley, were detailed for detached service and had an adventurous time escorting the overland traders to Santa Fe. Returning in the fall, they established themselves at Fort Leavenworth, Ivas., 18 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. seventy-three years before the present time. In December, 1831,. these four companies were ordered back to Jefferson Barracks, where the regiment was consolidated and preparations were made to take the field against the Sac and Fox Indians. Black Hawk War. General Atkinson was placed in command of the frontier forces of the Northwest in the Black Hawk Indian War, and his lieutenant-colonel. Daniel Baker, assumed command of the (Sixth. On the 2d of August, 1832, Black Hawk, at the head of a large body of Indians, was met and engaged by General Atkin- son's forces at the junction of the Bad Axe and Mississippi riv- ers. During the fierce three-hours battle that followed, the In- dians were completely routed and scattered and two hundred of their most warlike braves were killed or wounded. Black Hawk never recovered from this overthrow, and after an ineffectual attempt to repair his fortunes, (Surrendered to the agent at Prai- rie du Chien. The companies and men of the Sixth took a lion's share in the preliminary skirnushing and final overthrow of Black Hawk and were commended in orders by General Atkin- son for their gallantry in action. The regiment returned to Jefferson Barracks October 2. 1832, and in December of the same year Companies A. B. F. and H were again detached and stationed at Fort Leavenworth, where they remained until September, 1834, when the regiment was again concentrated at Jefferson Barracks. On February 29, 1836, the regiment left Jefferson Barracks, which had been its home for nearly nine years, and was sent to Louisiana, where tin various companies did duty for a time at Fort Worth, Camp Sabine, and Fort Jesup. The Florida War. It was from Fort Jesup that the regiment was sent to take part un the Florida War. Companies C, D, and E took station at Camp Sabine, arriving there December 27. 1836. The re- mainder of the regiment left Fort Jesup December 19th. arriving at Fort Taylor, Fla., November 14th of the following year. Here they were joined to a separate column commanded by Colouel Zachary Taylor, of the First Infantry. On December 19. 1837, orders were received to proceed against the enemy. The force which left camp under Colonel Taylor numbered 870 men, exclu- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 19 sire of officers. It was composed of 221 men of the Sixth, un- der Lieuteuant-Colonel A. R. Thompson; 274 men of the Fourth Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Foster; 25 men of the Fourth Artillery, under Captain Muuroe; and 180 of the Missouri Volunteers. The balance of the force consisted of Morgan's spies, pioneers, pontoneers, and a band of 70 Delaware Indians. Battle of Okeechobee. On Christmas day, 1837, was fought the famous Battle of Okeechobee, in which Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson fell and in which the Sixth Regiment gained the greatest glory and suf- fered the severest losses of any of the troops engaged. The en- emy, some 700 strong, was brought to bay in a dense hum- mock, which offered perfect concealment for the Seminoles and from which it seemed impossible to dislodge them. They were first charged upon by Morgan’s spies and the Missouri Volun- teers, under Colonel Gentry. That gallant officer fell mortally wounded early in the action. The Volunteers were driven back panic-stricken. Repeated efforts were made to rally them, but without success. The brunt of the battle thus fell on the Sixth and Fourth In- fantry, the men of which displayed the greatest bravery in fac- ing the heavy fire that was directed at them by the concealed foe in the hummock. The Sixth was almost decimated in the furious engagement. Seventy-five men of the seven companies participating were either killed or wounded, and in one company only four men remained uninjured. In five of the companies every officer and orderly sergeant, with but one exception, was put out of action. The remaining companies, B and K. crossed over from the left, formed on the right of the Fourth Infantry, and continued the engagement until the fight ended. Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson was wounded three times be- fore he fell. His last words were: ’‘Keep steady, men. Charge the hummock. Remember the regiment to which you belong." Captain J. Swearingen was killed while in advance of his com- pany. Lieutenants J. P. Center and E. J. Brooke were instantly killed. Sixteen men of the Sixth were killed, while two officers and fifty-three men were wounded. Kot without reason has the Battle of Okeechobee gone down in history as ‘‘Bloody Christmas.” Following is an extract of Colonel Taylor’s report of the battle: 20 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. “I am not sufficient master of words to express my admira- tion of the gallantry and steadiness of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Infantry. It was their fortune to bear the brunt of the battle. The report of the killed and wounded, which accom- panies this, is more conclusive evidence of their merits than any- thing I can say.” The President of the United States tendered thanks to Colonel Taylor, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and troops of the Regular Army “for the discipline and bravery displayed by them on the occasion of this battle.” •End of Seminole War. The regiment was joined in May, 1838, by Companies C, D, and E, and remained in Florida during the entire campaign against the Indians. During the war it lost 10 officers and 129 enlisted men. March 20, 1842, it returned to Jefferson Barracks. It left Jefferson Barracks the following month for Fort Town- son, Cherokee Nation, at which post it arrived in May. Death of General Atkinson. General Atkinson, who, during the twenty-six years he had commanded the Sixth, had endeared himself to officers and men alike, and who had gained for them, as well as for himself, an enviable reputation, died at Jefferson Barracks, June 14, 1842. Colonel William Davenport, promoted from the First Infantry, became his successor. He remained in command a year, when he exchanged regiments with Colonel and Brevet Brigadier- General Zachary Taylor, afterwards hero of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Buena Vista, and Monterey and President of the United States. CHAPTER II. MEXICAN WAR AND INDIAN CAMPAIGNS— 1846-1861. On June 29, 1846, following the declaration of war with Mex- ico, General Taylor was promoted to the rank of major-general and turned over his command of the Sixth to Colonel Newman S. Clarke, who was promoted from the Eighth -infantry. In July, 1847, the regiment, with the exception of Companies G and I, formed a part of General Scott’s forces at Puebla, Mexico. Companies G and I remained in the United iStates throughout the Mexican War. August 9, 1847, the Sixth took part at Contreras and on the 19th defeated three batteries at San Antonio. Battle of Ghurubusco. August 20th occurred the Battle of Churubusco, relative to which is printed the following extract from Ripley’s History of the Mexican War: "Santa Anna, assisted by a crowd of general officers, strove to form his line, and with some success; but while things were in this state the small battalion of the Sixth Infantry came boldly forward, though irregularly and in confusion. The lead- ing companies being gallantly led, from very rashness would, in all probability, have entered the fete du ponl, had not Eicon's troops opened a terrific fire of musketry and cannon from the convent. "The distance was great for musketry, being over three hundred and fifty yards; but the Mexican position was elevated, and, with the enormous cartridges furnished to Mexican soldiers, the bullets were easily sent to the road; without accurate aim, it is true, but in heavy, rolling volleys and with deadly force. "The artillery soon opened, raking the causeway, and, being without support or definite orders, the Sixth staggered for a time, the rear became separated from the front, and the reg- iment was finally ordered by its major to break,, fall back, and re-form behind the houses of the village which it had passed in its advance. 21 22 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. “With the exception of a party under Captain Walker, which had extended to the right and remained in the vicinity of the enemy, the regiment obeyed the order; but its advance had a most beneficial effect upon the after-events of the action. * * “While these events were taking place a battalion of the Sixth Infantry had re-formed, and soon after was ordered to as- sault the tete du pont directly along the road. Captain Hoffman led it forward with gallant bravery and officers and men fol- lowed nobly. “But the Mexicans in the work, whose attention had been given to the troops advancing through the corn on either flank, seeing this direct assault, turned all their guns upon it, which, enfilading the road, made dreadful havoc. Some of the men recoiled under the stern stroke of the artillery, but the general officers were by their side and a few words of reproof and en- couragement sent them back to their places. With a shout, they again followed their officers in the advance, but the direct as- sault was impracticable and Worth shouted to Hoffman to in- cline to the right into the corn, to operate with the main body of the division in that quarter. There, next the causeway, the Fifth and Eighth had become engaged. ' They had advanced on the right of the road, and had been saved much of the loss which had befallen the Sixth. &******** ****- 5 ?****-» “The battle had raged for more than two hours from the time it was first opened by the Sixth Infantry, when the Mex- icans first gave way in front of the American right, and fled through the corn-fields in their rear toward the city. “A party of American troops of different regiments, prin- cipally of the Second Artillery and Sixth Infantry, was led on by its officers past the left of the tite du pont, crossed the river Ghurubusco, and presented itself in threatening position in rear of the work. “The other troops came up, those on the right closed in. and rushing through wet ditches, waist deep, over the parapets and into the work, the American troops carried it in a crowd." Among the various officers who especially distinguished themselves in the action were General Clarke, colonel of the reg- iment, who was wounded while in command of the brigade, Captains Walker and Hoffman and Lieutenant Armistead. Molino del Rey. September 8th saw the Sixth again engaged in a fierce con- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 23 flict, this time at Molino del Key. In this battle, as at Churu- busco, the men of the regiment displayed conspicuous gallantry and lost heavily. As the advance was being made the Mex- icans opened fire upon the flank of the storming party from a masked battery, doing terrible execution. The charge tvas con- tinued until eleven of the fourteen officers with the storming party were disabled. Even then, the scattered parties kept up their fire. They were finally repulsed, and the Mexicans, who had changed their position during the night, reoccupied their old battery. Contrary to every usage of civilized war, they foully murdered every wounded American soldier they found on the field. Captain Walker, of the Sixth, and one enlisted man were taken for dead and thus escaped the fate of their comrades. The Mexican triumph, however, was short-lived. General Worth ordered the remainder of the Sixth and Eighth regi- ments over to the right, opened a heavy artillery fire on the advancing enemy, checked and finally repulsed them, and pur- sued them toward Chapultepec. Battle of Chapultepec. On September 13th was fought the Battle of Chapultepec. This fortress, a castle on the crest of a rugged hill, was sur- rounded by high stone walls and was one of the most formida- ble barriers encountered by the Americans. Again the Sixth was foremost in the fray. One of its officers, Lieutenant Arrnis- tead, was the first of the storming party to leap into the ditch. Scaling-ladders were placed in position, the men swarmed over the walls, and the fortress of Chapultepec was taken. End of War. This practically ended the war, for the next day Scott’s vic- torious army entered the City of Mexico. During the war, ten officers of the Sixth had been wounded (two mortally) and a total of 103 enlisted men had been killed or wounded. The reg- iment remained in the City of Mexico the balance of the year 1847. In January, 1848, it was moved to Toluca, Mex., and in June was concentrated at Jalapa, from which place it started homeward, arriving at Jefferson Barracks in July. From this time until 1858 the regimental headquarters and the various companies changed station a number of times, the companies doing field duty at various points on the frontier and garrisoning a number of different posts. The principal events during that period were as follows: 24 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Principal Events — 1851-60. August 29, 1854, “Grattan Massacre.” Lieutenant L. J. Grat- tan and thirty men of Company G were killed by Indians near Fort Laramie while endeavoring to recover a cow stolen from a party of Mormon traders. September 3, 1855, Companies A, E, H, I, and K, under Major Albermarle Cady, took part against the Sioux in the Bat- tle of Ash Hollow, on the Blue Water. The Americans attacked the principal village of the Brules and achieved a complete vic- tory, inflicting a loss of eighty-six killed and five wounded, be- sides capturing about seventy women and children and a large number of horses and mules. July and August, 1857, Companies C, 1), and G, commanded by Captain Ketchum, formed a part of Colonel Sumner’s expe- dition against the Cheyennes. The three companies of infantry were forced, the greater part of the time, to keep pace with the horses of the First Cavalry. They suffered almost incredible hardships from forced marches and deprivation of rations and supplies. Many of the men returned barefooted and in rags. Company C was out of rations for eighteen days, and for seven- teen days the men of Company D lived entirely on fresh beef. The next event of importance in the history of the Sixth is its march from Fort Bridget to Benicia Barracks, Cal., from August 21, to November 15, 1858. During this extended “hike” the regiment, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel George Andrews, marched a total distance of over 1,000 miles. Arriving at Benicia Barracks, the companies were posted at different points in the Department of the Pacific. August 29, 1859, Captain Lewis Armistead. of Mexican War fame, won a signal victory over the Mojave Indians. With fifty men from Companies F and I, he attacked and defeated over two hundred red-skins near Fort Mojave, Cal. In this engagement about seventy-five Indians were killed and wounded, as against three of Captain Armistead's command slightly wounded. May 14, 1860, Company A, commanded by Captain Flint, marched from Benicia Barracks to Truekee River, U. T.. a dis- tance of 300 miles. The command arrived May 31st, and June 2d had a skirmish with the Indians. Death of General Clarice. October 17, 1860, Brevet Brigadier-General Newman S. Clarke, colonel of the regiment, died at San Francisco. Colonel HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 25 Washington Seawall, promoted from the Eighth Infantry, took command of the regiment at Benicia Barracks, March 8, 1861. April 14 and 16, 1861, thirty enlisted men of B Company, Sixth Infantry, under command of First Lieutenant Collins, Fourth Infantry, engaged a body of Indians near Mad River, 50 miles from Fort Humboldt, Call. During the two nights’ fight- ing the party had only one man wounded, while the Indians lost in the neighborhood of forty braves. CHAPTER III. THE CIVIL WAR— 1861-1865. (REPUBLISHED BY PERMISSION.) NOTE. — The following chapter is an extract from an article entitled “The Sixth Regiment of Infantry,” contributed by Major (then Lieutenant and Adjutant) Charles Byrne to “The Army of the United States,” a publi- cation issued by the Military Service Institution. * * * -x- * * * * -X * -x- * * ****** “The great War of the Rebellion was now in progress and the summons had crossed the continent for the Sixth to hurry eastward. Several of its best and bravest officers, honest in a mistaken construction of the Constitution and true to their con- victions as to duty under it, had tendered their resignations and given themselves to the fatal cause. But the rank and file, with unhesitating fealty, stood by the old flag, and remained, to a man, on the side of the North. “The movement began October 31, 1861, and by January 31, 1862, the entire regiment was concentrated at Washington un- der command of its colonel. “Colonel Seawall retired from active service February 20, 1862, and was succeeded by Colonel Electus Backus, promoted from the Third Infantry, who died at Detroit, Mich., on June 7, 1862, and was in turn succeeded by Colonel Hannibal Day, pro- moted from the Second Infantry. “The regiment left Washington City on March 10, 1862, for service in the field, as part of Sykes’ Brigade of Regulars, and participated in the siege and operations which preceded the evacuation of Yorktown by the enemy on May 4. Mechanicsville. “The regiment was mainly employed on picket duty along the Cliickahominy until June 26th, when it was sent to reinforce a portion of McCall's Division of Fitz John Porter’s Corps, which was engaged with the enemy at Mechanicsville. It ar- rived close to the scene of conflict late in the evening, but took no part in the action, and the next morning was ordered to fall back towards Gaines’ Mill, and await the attack of the enemy, who was advancing in force. The battle commenced about noon on the 27th. 26 ♦ HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 27 “During the earlier stages the Fifth New York and a South Carolina regiment had repeatedly attacked each other to no purpose. Colonel Warren, about three o’clock in the afternoon, asked the division commander for the Sixth Infantry and formed it in front of and perpendicular to the line of the Fifth New York and Seventeenth Infantry, facing the open space over which the former and the South Carolina Regiment had been charging and counter-charging. The arrangement was, that the Fifth New York should repeat its charge, and, on being counter- charged, the Sixth was to take the Confederate regiment in flank. The Sixth Infantry had hardly taken position when those in command saw the uselessness of such work, which, according to Warren’s graphic words, was ‘only covering the ground with dead men,’ and the regiment received orders simply to hold its position in the woods, which it did until about sunset, when the Federal lines, flanked at both extremities, gave way. “As the regiment’s position was in advance of the first line and in the woods, the status of affairs was not at once apparent, but a few moments under heavy canister fire sufficed to clear up matters, and, crossing a small bridge, the Sixth in disarray passed to the rear between two of the enemy’s skirmish lines and re-formed on the ridge occupied by Generals French and Meagher. “Later in the evening the regiment moved into the valley of the Chickahominy, and early on the morning of the 28th crossed that stream. The bridge was destroyed after the pas- sage of the Sixth Infantry, the last to leave the field. “In this action Captain R. W. Foote was killed and Lieu- tenants H. A. F. Worth and D. D. Lynn were wounded. Of the enlisted men, five were killed and sixty-one wounded. “During the day Second Lieutenant Jeremiah P. Scliindel, while separated from the regiment with a few men, exhibited personal bravery and coolness under fire to a marked degree. Second Battle of Bull Run. “The regiment arrived at Manasses, via Warrenton Junc- tion, August 20th, and participated in the second Battle of Bull Run on the 30th. It occupied a position about the center of the line, near the Warrenton turnpike, from early in the forenoon until near 5 o’clock p. m., and, falling back with the army, biv- ouacked that night at Centerville. “Six enlisted men of the regiment were killed in this battle, 28 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. and Lieutenants C. M. Pyne, A. W. Bickley, and J. P. Sehindel and twenty-five enlisted men were wounded. “Emring the Battle of Antietam, September 17th. the Sixth was on picket duty, and on the 19th the regiment proceeded to Nolan's Ford, on the Potomac, near Sharps!) urg, crossed into Virginia and had a skirmish with the enemy on the 24th, and finding him in force, recrossed in obedience to orders and en- camped at Sharpsburg, Md. “The regiment took part in several reconnaissances in Octo- ber, November, and December, and on December 11th bivouacked on a ridge on the north bank of the Rappahannock, overlooking the valley and city of Fredericksburg. Fredericksburg. “Crossing with Hooker’s division on the 18th, the regiment was moved forward to within a few hundred yards of the fa- mous stone wall for the purpose of attacking on the morning of the 14th. The plan being changed, the Sixth held its position in the line on the same ground, during the whole of the 14tli, Sunday, under a most galling lire, without having a chance to make an appreciable return. Between 11 and 12 o’clock p. m., the line was withdrawn into the town, and occupied the main street during the 15th, exposed to some artillery fire. About 9 o’clock p. m. the division of which the Sixth formed a part was moved near the outskirts of the town, where it remained till next morning, when in a fog and rain the regiment crossed the Rappahannock, following the First Brigade. The ground in front of Company E was so flat that in the course of the day First Sergeant Thetard — afterwards mortally wounded at Gettysburg — was struck, and Corporal Kelly and five other men were picked off in succession. Having recrossed the river, the regiment during the day and night reoccupied with its divi- sion the bivouac on the ridge north of and overlooking the city, and on the 17th returned to camp near Potomac Creek. “At Fredericksburg five enlisted men were killed, and Second Lieutenant James McKim and twenty enlisted men were wounded. , “The regiment left camp near Potomac Creek April 27. 1803, and proceeded to Harwood Church, on the Frederieksburg- Warrenton road, crossed the Rappahannock at Kelly’s Ford on the 29th, and after dark on the same day waded the Rapidan at Ely's Ford, and bivouacked on the right bank. On the 30th the HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 29 Sixth marched with its division to Chancellorsville, and, after a short halt, moved out on the Fredericksburg road for about three-quarters of a mile and bivouacked for the night. Battle of Chancellorsville. •'On the forenoon of May 1st the Second Brigade was formed on the edge of the Wilderness, with the Second and Sixth In- fantry on the right of the road. The line, only part of the time covered by skirmishers, rapidly advanced, brushing away the Confederate forces in front, which precipitately retreated, but re-formed while the Federals halted, and opened a fire from which the Sixth and Second Infantry particularly suffered. Being fi- nally outflanked, the line was withdrawn, and, on reaching the ground where it had formed in the morning, the Sixth was de- tached to cover an exposed flank until relieved. General Han- cock's skirmishers soon coming up, the regiment rejoined the brigade, which had reached the ground of the previous night's bivouack. “The casualties to the regiment in this action were con- fined to the enlisted men, one being killed and twenty-three wounded. “On the 3d, while on picket duty in the vicinity of Chancel- lorsville, the regiment captured four of the enemy, and while engaged in a skirmish two enlisted men were wounded. “On the morning of the 6tli the regiment retreated with the army towards the Rappahannock, recrossed at the IT. S. ford, and arrived, after a hard march of sixteen miles, at the old camp on Potomac Creek, near Falmouth. “The regiment left camp on Potomac Creek June 4th, for Benson’s Mills, where it remained until the 13th, when it took up the march for A 3 die. Va„ arriving at that point on the 22d. It left Aldie on the 2Ttli, crossed the Potomac at Edward's Ferry on the same day, and, marching with but little intermis- sion until the 30th, arrived at Unionville, Md. “At Fredericksburg the Sixth Infantry was transferred from the Second to the First Regular Brigade of Syke’s Divis- ion, under its colonel, Hannibal Day, as brigade commander. Battle of Gettysburg. “Moving into Pennsylvania, the regiment at dawn of July 2d was in position on the extreme right of the Union line, not far from the Baltimore and Gettysburg turnpike. 30 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. “About the middle of the forenoon it was placed as reserve near the center of the line, and during the afternoon was moved in haste to the left and down the rugged slopes with the regular brigades. The Second penetrated the woods and wheat fields in front, while the First, to which the Sixth Infantry belonged, held the open ground immediately in its rear. The left being in the air and the troops on the right having given way, the division was ordered to fall back. “The regular infantry, which included the Sixth, was then formed in the woods back of Little Found Top and remained there during the 3d, exposed to the fire of the artillery and to that of sharpshooters who were hidden among the rocks in and around the ‘Devil’s Den.’ “On the morning of the 4th the First Regular Brigade was ordered toward the Emmetsburg turnpike, to feel the enemy. It advanced with the Third, Fourth, and Sixth Infantry in line, the Sixth on the left, to the edge of Durfee’s peach orchard, which was entered by the skirmishers. The brigade then moved back to Little Round Top, but was immediately faced about with orders to picket the ‘Devil’s Den’ and outer edge of the woods in front of the line. The Confederate outposts were in close proximity, and the picket firing which soon began was continued until dark. “On the morning of the 5th part of the picket line, includ- ing Company 1, Sixth Infantry, was advancing beyond Emmets- burg road. In the afternoon the brigade returned to its posi- tion in the woods in front of Round Top, and by 5 o’clock was with the division in pursuit of the enemy, bivouacking that night about four miles from Emmetsburg. “The casualties to the enemy at Gettysburg were First Sergeant I. Thetard, Company E, and seven privates killed: Second Lieutenant Thomas Britton, eight non-commissioned officers, and thirty privates wounded. “Lieutenant Britton’s wound was received under circum- stances which especially distinguished him for bravery. “The regiment was lying down exposed to the telling fire from Confederate sharpshooters, when, to steady the growing uneasiness of his men. lie deliberately rose in the line of the file- closers, stretched and vawned as though waking from a nap, and coolly walked back and forth the length of the company. HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 31 Colonel Day Retired. “On the 1st of August, 1863, Colonel Day was retired from active service and was succeeded by Colonel E. A. King, promot- ed from the Nineteenth Infantry, but on the 20th of September, less than two months later, Colonel King was killed at the Bat- tle of Chickamauga while in command of a brigade of Thomas’ corps. He was succeeded by Colonel J. D. Greene, promoted from the Seventeenth Infantry. “On August 16th, 1863, the regiment, under the command of Captain Montgomery Bryant, embarked for New York City, where it arrived on the 21st and camped in Washington Park. It had been sent there on account of the draft riots, and re- mained doing provost duty until the 11th, when it was trans- ferred to Ft. Hamilton, N. Y. H. “While at Ft. Hamilton the regiment was consolidated in- to two companies — II and I — and drilled as heavy artillery, to form part of the defenses of New York City. On May 17, 1865, the regiment embarked on the steamer Star of the South for Savannah, Ga., where it arrived on the 21st and was assigned to duty as part of the forces of the District of Savannah, with headquarters at Hilton Head. “The regiment, with the exceptions of Companies B and I, on detached service at Lawtonville, S. C., since September, arrived at Charleston, S. C., from Hilton Head, on December 9, 1865, and took quarters in the •Citadel.’ “During February skeleton companies A, C, E, and F were recruited from the depot, completing the original organization of the regiment. “While the headquarters remained at Charleston, the com- panies were moved from place to place in South Carolina, being stationed from time to time at Charleston, Georgetown, Aiken, Beaufort, Darlington, Orangeburg, Lawtonville, Columbia, Strawberry Station, and other points.” CHAPTER IV. CIVIL WAR TO CUBA CAMPAIGN— 1865-1898. The chapter which follows is of necessity a brief one. For a period of thirty-three years following the Civil War the Sixth Regiment had but little excitement to vary the monotony of routine work an garrison and field. In 1867 the regimental headquarters was transferred from Charleston to the Indian Territory. Reorganization. In 1869 the regiment was reorganized by consolidation with the Forty-second Infantry. March 15th, of tiie same year. Brevet Major-General William B. Hazen, afterwards chief signal officer, transferred from the Thirty-eighth Infantry and became colonel of the regiment. During the same year companies of the Sixth did duty during the settlement of the “Neutral Lands” troubles in Kansas. In October, 1871, Company I performed efficient service during Chicago’s great conflagration. The following year saw the regiment in the Department of the Dakota, some of its companies seeing service against the Indians at Fort A. Lincoln. In 1873-4-5 the regiment furnished a number of escorts in connection with the building of the Northern Pacific Railway, the surveying of the northern boundary and the exploration of the Yellowstone River. During the Sioux campaign of 1876 Companies B, C, D. and I took an active part against the Indians, forming a part of General Terry’s column from May to September. In 1880, the Sixth changed station from the Department of the Dakota to a camp on White River, Colo. December 15, 1880, General Hazen was appointed chief sig- nal officer of the Army. He was succeeded as colonel by Brevet Major-General Alexander McDowell McCook, promoted from the Ninth infantry. 32 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 33 In 1881 a battalion of the Sixth was with General Mac- kenzie's expedition in southwestern Colorado. In September this battalion commenced to build Fort Thornburgh, Utah. The regiment was concentrated at Fort Douglas, Utah, in 1S83. May 15, 1886, the headquarters arrived at Fort Leaven- worth, Kas., and General McCook became commandant of the U. S. Infantry and Cavalry School at that post. Companies H and I joined the headquarters in July, and in November Companies F and Iv established camp near Chicago, 111., on the site where Fort Sheridan is now located. Colonel Cochran in Command. -July LI, 1890, General McCook became a brigadier-general. He was succeeded by Colonel Melville A. Cochran, promoted from the Fifth Infantry. Companies I and K were skeletonized during the same month, under orders from the War Department. August 20th the regimental headquarters and two com- panies were transferred to Fort Thomas, Ky., where they were later joined by Companies E, F, and G. Company A proceeded from Fort Lewis, Colo., to Fort Wood. N. Y., arriving August 25. September 2d Company B left Fort Lewis for Fort Porter, N. Y., arriving two days later. On September 6th Companies C and I) arrived at Fort Porter from Fort Biley, while Company H left Fort Gibson. I. T., and joined part of the regiment at Newport Barracks, Ky., the latter part of the month. Second Lieutenant Atkinson and eight men of Company II were left behind until final disposition of all public property in the territory. In September, 1891, a detachment of the regiment partici- pated in the centennial celebration at Hamilton, O. In May, 1892. Companies B, D, C, and H proceeded from Fort Porter, Fort Ontario, and Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y., and joined the companies stationed at Fort Thomas and Newport Barracks. In October of the same year the headquarters and First Battalion participated in the Columbian exercises in Cin- cinnati, while A Company took part in the exercises in New York City. October 11, 1S94, Company A arrived at Fort Thomas from Fort Wood, N. Y.. and the regiment was again reunited. In September, 1895, the Second Battalion. Major Miner com- manding, spent three weeks in camp in connection with the open- ing of the Chiekamauga National Park, Ga. 34 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. In May, 1896, the First Battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel Egbert commanding, took part in the centennial celebration at Nashville, Tenn. In September of the same year Lieutenant-Colonel Eg- bert led the regiment on a ten-days practice march, extending over a distance of 104 miles. In June and July, 1897, the Second Battalion, Major Miner commanding, were encamped in the grounds at the Nashville Centennial Exposition, Nashville, Tenn. From August 29 to September 19, 1897, the regiment, Colonel Cochran commanding, engaged in a practice march to Columbus, Ohio, participating in the G. A. K. parade at that place, and cov- ering a distance of 126 miles. PART II. THE CUBAN CAMPAIGN, FROM APRIL 19, 1898, TO SEPTEMBER 29, 1898. CHAPTER V. EXPEDITION TO CUBA. The commencement of the Spanish- American War found the Sixth at Ft. Thomas, Ky. At the beginning of hostilities there was but little doubt that the regiment would be among the first sent to the scene of action, and the summons found everyone in readiness and eager for the approaching campaign against the Spaniards. At last the regiment was ordered to Tampa, Fla., there to await embarkation for Cuba. Leaving Fort Thomas. On April 19, 1898, the gallant old regiment left Fort Thomas. It was escorted through the principal streets of Cincinnati by the Chamber of Commerce and numerous other civic and mili- tary organizations, amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm. Whistles blew, bells rang out, and thousands of cheering, shout- ing people lined the streets and bade the boys God speed. Marching from Cincinnati to Newport, Ky., where another ovation awaited it, the regiment left that night over the L. & N. Railway. Enthusiastic demonstrations greeted the special all along the road. On the evening of the 21st of April, Tampa was reached and the following morning the regiment left the cars and marched one and one-half miles to camp at Tampa Heights. The Sixth was assigned to the First Brigade, First Divi- sion, Fifth Army Corps, as a part of General Shaffer’s expedi- tion to Cuba. June Sth, the regiment left camp at Tampa Heights at 4:50 a. m. and marched to Ybor City, a distance 35 36 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. of three miles, proceeding thence by rail to Port Tampa, where it embarked at 5 p. m., same day, on the steamer Miami, trans- Embarking for Cuba. Scene at Port Tampa on Day of Departure. port No. 1. The regiment was under command of its lieuten- ant-colonel, Harry 0. Egbert; Colonel Cochran having been or- dered before a retiring board, his retirement from active service occurring June 30th. The Miami left Port Tampa June 10th, and anchored in Tampa Pay, leaving Tampa Bay on the afternoon of June 14th; June 20th the expedition was off Santiago de Cuba, and June 22d it anchored off Daiquiri. Landing at Daiquiri. On the morning of June 22d the Army commenced to dis- embark at Daiquiri. General Lawton, with a strong force of the Second Division, pushed forward to Siboney, arriving early on the 23d and putting the Spanish garrison to flight. The un- loading of troops and supplies was continued at both Daiquiri and Sibonev and tvas practically completed by the evening of the 24th. HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 37 By tlie end of the month the Army, including General Gar- cia’s Cuban command, was concentrated at Sevilla, with de- tachments at Siboney and Daiquiri. On the afternoon of June The Landing at Daiquiri, Cuba. 30th, General Shatter assembled the division commanders and a plan of campaign was outlined. Santiago, of course, was the objective point of the campaign, but before investing Santiago it was necessary to capture the important Spanish strongholds of El Caney and San Juan. El Casey, to the northeast of San- tiago, commanded the Guantanamo road and from its position could be used to shelter a strong Spanish outpost, with which to assaiil the right and rear of any force operating against San Juan. It was < important, then, to attack and carry the two places simultaneously. Accordingly Lawton’s division, assisted by Capron’s light battery, was ordered to march on El Caney and commence the attack early on the morning of July 1st. Wheeler’s division of dismounted cavalry and Kent’s division of infantry were or- dered to advance on the same morning to San Juan Hill. Grimes’ battery moved on the afternoon of the 30th, with or- ders to take position on the heights of El Poso early the next morning and engage the enemy’s artillery as soon as the sound of firing showed that General Lawton’s attack at El Caney was well under way. Under cover of the fire from Grimes’ battery, 38 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Generals Kent and Wheeler were to commence the advance on San Juan Hill. Attach on El Caney. Capron’s battery opened on El Caney at 6:15 a. m. It was intended, as soon as El Caney had been captured, to have Gen- eral Lawton cross over and take position on the right of the main line of battle, and assist in the attack on San Juan Hill. However, El Caney proved more formidable than was first an- ticipated and was not captured until 4:30 p. m. hen the fight at El Caney was in full progress, Grimes’ battery opened upon the block-house in the San Juan intrench- ments. The shots were well aimed and the Spaniards could be seen running away from the vicinity of the block-house. The enemy’s artillery retaliated with shrapnel. It was evident that he had the range and his fuses were well timed, for at the first shots several Americans were killed or wounded. It was diffi- cult to locate the Spanish pieces because of the smokeless powder used, while the smoke from the black powder employed in the American guns’ was plainly visible to the opposing force. The Advance on San Juan. In the meanwhile the First Division, under General Kent, had broken camp at 4:45 a. m. and was advancing in a north- erly direction toward San Juan Hill, in the following order: First, Third, and Second Brigades, under Hawkins, Pearson, and Wikoff, respectively. The Sixth Infantry was in advance of the First Brigade, followed by the Sixteenth Infantry and the Seventy-first "New York Volunteer Infantry. At a point near the El Poso sugar-house the First Division was passed by Wheeler’s dismounted cavalry division, which in- cluded Roosevelt’s “Rough Riders,” and which had the right of way. Shortly after, the command came into the zone of the enemy’s fire. A balloon near the head of the column enabled the Spaniards to judge of the position of the advancing troops and they sent volley after volley crashing through the brush with deadly accuracy. The line of march was along a narrow road, bordered on both sides by impenetrable tropical jun- gles, in which it was impossible to deploy or advance troops. The First Brigade was now moved alongside the cavalry, which had halted, and the enemy’s fire, steadily increasing in inten- sity, swept the closely packed road in all directions. The hail of bullets came not only from the front and the dense thickets on Grimes’ Battery” Going up El Poso Hill. 39 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 40 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. the flanks, but from numerous Spanish sharpshooters, concealed in trees in the rear. To add to the confusion caused by the fierce firing it was impossible to escape or return, the Americans were ignorant of the topography of the country in front and of the exact location of the enemy's defenses. The situation was further complicated by the ramifications of the road and by the frequent halts and delays entailed thereby. Blanket-rolls and haversacks were dropped, the wounded were carried to the rear, and the galling fire was grimly suffered until such time as the score could be evened. Panic of the Seventy-First. Before coming to the crossing of Guama Creek, the Seventy- first New York Regiment was deflected by the division com- mander and was marched along a narrow trail leading to the left to a ford lower down the stream. The intention of this movement was to have the Seventy-first emerge in its proper place at the left of the First Brigade, but the steady fire of the enemy prevented a consummation of the movement. The Third Brigade was ordered forward along the same path. Crossing the creek, the brigade was deployed to the left of the lower ford, it was during this movement that Colonel Wikoff, commanding the Third Brigade, was killed. Scarcely had Lieutenant-Colonel Worth, Thirteenth Infantry, assumed com- mand of the brigade, than he also fell. Five minutes later Lieutenant-Colonel Liscum, Twenty-fourth Infantry, also fell un- der the fierce fire, and the command of the brigade devolved upon Lieutenant-Colonel E. P. Ewers, Ninth Infantry. The Second Brigade, as soon as it came to the forks, was divided. The Tenth and Second Infantry were deflected to the left to follow the Third Brigade, while the Twenty-first was directed along the main road to support General Hawkins. CHAPTER VI. BATTLE OF SAN JUAN HILL. In the meanwhile General Hawkins, who was with the First Brigade at the crossing of Guama Creek, had formulated a plan for flanking the enemy’s fortifications. The Sixth Infantry, with Lieutenant-Colonel Egbert in command, was sent across the creek with instructions to enfilade, if possible, one or both fronts of the main fortification of the Spaniards. Description of Battle-field. The regiment now found itself in the following position: To the rear was Guama Creek, just crossed. To the right and front, changing its course abruptly from a westerly to a south- erly direction at a point between the regiment and the Spanish position, was the Rio San Juan, a deep stream whose abrupt, almost vertical banks rose to a height of twenty feet on either side. Just across and west of the river, running almost due north and south, was a slightly sunken road, on the further side of which was a six-strand barb-wire fence, securely nailed to the trees of an overgrown hedge and to posts firmly set in the ground. From the southern extremity of this road the fence was continued to the west, thus enclosing a broad, open, grass- covered field. This fence later proved one of the most formidable obstacles the assaulting troops had to contend with. About 600 yards from the road, toward the north of the open space, rose San Juan Hill, a steep eminence about 200 feet high, on the crest of which were the Spanish intrenchments and block-house. Lieutenant-Colonel Egbert made a reconnaissance from a field of grain in front of the position held by the Sixth, but the thickly wooded banks of the stream beyond precluded the possi- bility of any definite observations. Returning to the regiment, he sent forward Companies B and D of the First Battalion, and E and G of the Second. The remaining four companies were held in reserve. The four companies sent forward were ordered to form on the left of and reinforce the cavalry, but under no cir- cumstances to cross the stream. 41 42 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Captain Turner deployed B Company in skirmish line and moved it to the front under a brisk fire, finally halting in rear of a thick growth of underbrush on the banks of the stream. Captain Kennon followed almost immediately afterward with E Company and took position on the left of Captain Turner’s company, Company B moving to the right and E occupying the position vacated by B. The enemy’s fire grew very hot, repeated volleys striking down several men. A danger other than that of the enemy’s fire also menaced the men on the bank of the stream. A com- pany of the regiment, not aware of the presence of American forces in their front, was deployed about fifty yards to the rear, with orders to fire point-blank at will, lying down. A catastro- phe was averted by the men in front, who had heard the order, -calling back not to fire on them. Seeing that it was impossible to offer combat from this position, the companies fell back. In going to the rear at a double time through the dense underbrush some of the men became detached from their companies, but kept on and reported themselves to the first organization they managed to find. Company <>, in particular, was badly scat- tered, and Lieutenant Jones found himself with scarcely a dozen men to command. Captain B. A. Byrne, commanding Company H. had in the meanwhile been sent forward to join the companies in front. Under a hot fire, he drew up on the bank of the stream, Two of his men were shot down, and, being unable to secure shelter, he reported to Major C. W. Miner, commanding the Sec- ond Battalion. He was ordered to the right, and, being under no orders not to cross the stream, did so. No troops were found on the far side, and H Company, from its advanced position, be- came a target for the Spanish pieces. Several volleys were fired at the company, but they were fortunately aimed high; “Else.” as Captain Byrne says in his report, “few would have escaped.” The company, being unsupported, soon recrossed the stream. Crossing the Stream. Discovering that an equal engagement was impossible from the left bank of the stream, Lieutenant-Colonel Egbert ordered both battalions across and was himself one of the first to jump into the stream and wade to the opposite bank. The various companies got across as best they might, some of the men cross- ing on logs, while the majority plunged into the water and scrambled up the steep banks. The stream was necessarily HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 43 crossed in broken formation, such shelter as could be secured being taken advantage of as soon as the men forded it. The Log' over Which a Part of the Regiment Crossed in the Advance on San Juan. Company E and a company of the Sixteenth Infantry found cover on the banks. This space becoming crowded by reason of fresh arrivals, the two companies were led into a “swale” to the right, from which they later advanced to the attack. Company A went to the right upon crossing, while C, D, and B companies went to the left. A number of men who had become detached in crossing joined other companies. The companies and men for the most part crouched along the fence to the south and west of the open field; the sunken road and an occasional tree or bush furnishing some shelter. Companies of the Sixteenth In- fantry followed closely after the Sixth and the men of the two organizations became somewhat mixed. Now', for the first time, our men were able to effectively re- turn the fire of the enemy, which they had hitherto borne for several hours with no chance of retaliating in kind. Supported by the artillery, they commenced a brisk infantry fire, at from 500 to 700 yards, on the Spaniards in the trenches and block- house. About an hour after crossing, it was decided to get through the fence and have a try at the Dons at close quarters. 44 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Through the Fence. • ; For a time, the fence proved a formidable barrier. Hack- ing at the spiked strands with sharpened bayonets; pressing down the weaker posts by sheer force of numbers'; beating the wires from their fastenings with the handiest weapon; crawling through, over, and under such openings as could be made, and all the time in plain sight of the Spaniards in the trenches, who directed at them a hail of bullets, the men of the Sixth and Six- teenth went through the fence, emerging into the open field sin- gly, in twos and threes, or in larger numbers, and immediately commencing to fire upon the Spanish work. At this period the casualties were greatest and the Sixth lost a number of its bravest officers and men in killed and wounded. The murderous fire that was poured upon the Americans by the sheltered Spaniards, at accurate range, could not be withstood by flesh and blood. Though it was gallantly returned, the odds were too heavy. The enemy’s fire constantly increased in venom and intensity and an annoying cross-fire from the left and rear greeted the more advanced companies from their own troops. The attempt to hold the field was for the moment given over and shelter on the further side of the fence was once more sought. Charging the Hill. it was shortly after that the memorable “charge on San Juan Hill” was commenced and carrypd ro a glorious conclusion. Just how the charge started is a matter that will never be sat- isfactorily determined. The movement seemed to commence al- most simultaneously in half a dozen different places, as it be- came patent that the only way to get at the Spaniards was to charge them and drive them out. Here and there over the lead- swept field started up a cheering, shouting officer or soldier, drunk with the lust of battle and making straight for the grim, frowning, fire-spitting hill. Others jumped up and sped in their wake, yelling in turn like mad. The outbreak became a con- tagion and in the twinkling of an eye the field was covered by onrushing soldiers. It took but a minute or two to cross the field. To those in the rear, the leaders of the charge seemed almost to shoot upward, as the impetus of their run carried them up the steep slope of the hill. The Gatling and Hotchkiss guns on the bluff across the creek redoubled their fire, shooting dangerously near to the charging Americans, but creating havoc among the Spanish infantrymen and artillerymen on the crest. The HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. IX FAX TRY. 45 charge continued until shot from their own battery struck within thirty yards of the storming party, which was forced to halt. There was no need, however, to continue the gallant movement, flaunted by the impetuous advance of the Americans and de- moralized bv the fierce artillery fire to which they had been sub- jected since early morning, the Spaniards had enough and fled ingloriously toward Santiago, leaving their dead and wounded behind. Capturing the Bloch-House. The artillery fire ceasing, the assaulting party traversed the remaining space and soon the summit of the hill was swarming with men of the different organizations. These, spreading out on Capturing the Spanish Block-house, San Juan. the flanks, opened up an effective fire upon the retreating enemy. The block-house was cleared of dead and wounded and a few prisoners were taken. The captured Spanish arms were piled up, and, the enemy having opened fire from toward Santiago, the men were ordered to lie down in rear of the crest. (See next chapter for results and casualties.) HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. In Front of Santiago. About 5:30 p. m., July 1st, the regiment was moved to the west slope of the captured hill and intrenched its position, the men for the most part using their bayonets and tin cups as in- trenching tools. The work was continued until early the next morning. At 4 o’clock on the morning of July 2d the Span- San Juan Hill, After Surrender of Santiago, Showing Block-House and Camp of American Forces. iards again opened fire from the direction of Santiago. The Sixth, being practically in reserve on what was known as the “second line,” took no active part in the subsequent engage- ments of the 2d and 3d, though under a dangerous fire which forced the men to lie close in ;he trenches and interfered with the work of extending and deepening the same. July 5th the regiment was moved to the first line of intrenchments toward the left flank, facing the Spanish intrenchments at that point. On the 10th it was again moved — this time to the right flank— where it occupied a position in the first line and took part in the action of July 10th- 11th. The Return Home. After the surrender of Santiago the Sixth moved to a hill in front of the captured city, .remaining in camp until July 7th, marching thence to the coast and being transferred by the lighter Laura to the Vigilencia , transport No. 25. The trans- port left Santiago the following day, en route to Montauk Point, arriving Saturday, August 13tli. The regiment . disem- barked on Sunday and remained at “Detention Camp,” one and one-half miles from Montauk Station, until the 19th, when it HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S.

It is not the purpose of this volume to attempt anything approaching a history of the Cuban campaign, but merely to outline the part taken therein by the Sixth Infantry. Conse- quently, but little mention has been made of the disposition of other American troops, or of the part taken by them during the operations at El Caney, Santiago, and San Juan. So far as light- ing is concerned, the Sixth’s work in Cuba practically ended with the storming and capture of San Juan Hill, to which it becomes necessary to revert. Who Captured San Juan? Credit for the capture of the liiiil has been ascribed by some authorities as belonging almost solely to the Sixth and Six- teenth Regiments. Others have divided the honor among these two regiments, the Ninth, Thirteenth, and Twenty-fourth Regi- ments of Infantry, and the First Volunteer Cavalry. It is not necessary to take up the cudgels in behalf of either contention. Sufficient is it to say that the charge and capture were accom- plished by American soldiers and American subordinate officers, who saw what was to be done and did it without waiting for instructions. It was notably a victory of individuals — animated, it is true, by a common impulse, but owing that impulse solely to personal bravery, patriotism, and initiative. The Battle of San Juan Hill, for this reason, stands unique, as showing what the American soldier is capable of when thrown upon his own resources. No more glorious tribute to the personnel of the Sixth could he paid than to state that some of its men were on top of the hill in advance of any other troops in the American Army, and that of all the organizations participating in the battle, its loss in killed and wounded was the heaviest of any. The following offi- cial table is conclusive. Report of killed and wounded July 1, 1898, of the First Division. Fifth Army Corps: 49 50 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. CASUALTIES AND RESULTS.

Lieutenant-Colonel H. C. Egbert, commanding the regiment, received a dangerous wound through the body while joining in the rush on the hill. He was, previous to his wounding, in the thick of the fight, encouraging and directing his men and reck- lessly exposing himself to the enemy’s fire. For his gallantry in the battle he was promoted a brigadier-general of volunteers. He was mustered out of the volunteer service in December, lS98 r and was commissiond colonel of the Twenty-second Regiment, at the head of which regiment he was killed in the Philippines. He could have been retired with the rank of brigadier-general without going to Manila, had he so chosen, but he preferred to “die in the harness.” HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 51 First Lieutenant Jules C. Ord, who was treacherously shot down by a wounded Spanish officer he had succored, repeatedly distinguished himself during the day as aide to General Haw- kins and was foremost in the charge. Second Lieutenant Benchley, E Company, was killed while participating in the advance. Captain Torrey and Lieutenant Purdy, of D Company, were ■wounded while leading their men in the open field. Captain Walker and Lieutenant Gross, C Company, were struck down almost simultaneously, shortly after coming into the field. Lieutenant Turman, Company F, was mortally wounded at about the same time. He died July 4th, in the division hospital. Captain Wetherell, A Company, was killed at the commence- ment of the charge. Second Lieutenant Simons, E Company, was wounded at the commencement of action, but fought through the engage- ment and was one of the first to reach the block-Louse. Second Lieutenant John Robertson, Company G, was also wounded in action. Individual Hen ti on — Officers. Instances of individual gallantry were many, but space will only permit the mention of a few, who notably distinguished themselves. In addition to the cases cited above, the following officers deserve especial mention: Major C. W. Miner, after the wounding of Lieutenant- Colonel Egbert, assumed command of the regiment and led a party up the hill in the charge. He was promoted lieutenant- colonel of the regiment for gallantry during the fight. Since that time, to this date, his command of the regiment has been contin- uous, except from March 10 to May 33, 1899, when Colonel Kel- logg was in command. He succeeded Colonel Kellogg as colonel of the regiment on the promotion of the latter to be brigadier- general, December 10, 1899. Lieutenant D. W. Ryther, Company C, was one of the 'lead- ers of the charge. He did not w T ait for his men to get through the fence, but, calling “Come on!” to those nearest him, started for the hill. While at the front near the top, urging those be- hind him forward, he was joined by Captain Kennon and Lieu- tenant Simons, Company A. He w'as ordered by Captain Ken- 52 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. non to descend the hill and hurry up reinforcements. Thou Sfk loath to return, he did so, and, having accomplished his mission, reascended the dangerous slope, and, passing the colors of the Sixteenth Infantry, arrived at the top in time to be in at the finish. Captain Charles Byrne, waving his hat and a long silk hand- kerchief, led a crowd of men up the hill. He was also among the first to leap over the trenches and attain the Spanish block-house. Lieutenant .Jones, Company G, voluntarily performed dan- gerous duty by going to the rear and putting a stop to the fir- ing of some American troops who were unknowingly shooting into their comrades in front.

FROM SEPTEMBER 29, ISOS, TO FEBRUARY 31, 1903. THE PHILIPPINEJCAMPAIGN. Introductory. In submitting the following chapters, the author disclaims- any intention of producing a connected recital of the military operations on the islands occupied at various times by com- panies and detachments of the Sixth Infantry. Neither is it claimed that there will be found in these pages anything ap- proaching a comprehensive review of causes, effects, and results, from a military and political point of view. Such a review 7 of itself, from the disconnected nature of Philippine events and their widely divergent aspects, would fill a volume many times larger than the present one. It is proposed, briefly, therefore, simply to outline in a gen- eral w 7 ay the more important of the problems with which the American forces had to contend from the time of their occupa- tion of the Philippine Islands, particularly with regard to the Visayan group; to sketch roughly the methods pursued in cop- ing with these problems, bearing in mind the general results aimed at; and finally, to give, as connectedly as they may be pieced together, descriptions of the more important of the many bat- tles, skirmishes, expeditions, and affairs participated in by the companies and men of the Sixth Infantry, acting separately and in conjunction with other forces. To the student of history there w 7 ill undoubtedly remain many points more or less obscure; but to the officers and enlisted men of the Sixth Infantry the author trusts this portion of the work will be of interest as pre- serving, in convenient form, a concise and fairly accurate rec- ord of their achievements in the Philippines. 53 54 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. While the record of campaign appeals more strongly to the soldier, it should be borne in mind that fully as much credit is due Colonel Miner and the regiment for establishing and main- taining civil government in Negros and to a large extent also in Panav. This wt)rk received commendation, not only from the mil- itary commanders in the Philippines, but also from the United States Philippines Commission. The work was difficult and the results were not at first apparent, but patience and diligence on the part of officers and men simplified in those islands the task of substituting civil for military government. CHAPTER VIII. EXPEDITION AND LANDING. Sufficient time bad scarcely elapsed for the regiment to rest and recruit before it was again on the move. In October, 1S98, in compliance with orders from the War Department, Com- panies I and K had been reorganized and two additional com- panies, L and M, had been organized. November 16, 1898, in compliance with S. O. No. 119, Department of the Lakes, the field, staff, band, and twelve companies left for Fort Sam Houston, Tex., arriving on the 20th of the month, and performing the usual garrison duties at that post for the next siix months. Trip to the Philippines. May 17, 1899, the Sixth left Fort Sam Houston en route for the Philippine Islands. Company A, in charge of the heavy bag- gage, left two days in advance. The remainder of the regiment traveled in three sections, via the Southern Pacific Railway, ar- riving at San Francisco on the morning of May 22d and travel- ing a total distance of 1,798 miles by rail. The only serious inci- dent of the trip was the death of Company Quartermaster Ser- geant Frank Abel, Company C. He was run over by an engine at Tucson, Arizona. The regiment, on the day of its arrival at San Francisco, embarked on the United States Army transport Sherman, and, with 28 officers and 1,878 enlisted men of the Sixth and other organizations, steamed that night out of the Golden Gate, bidding farewell to the country many of those on board were never to see again. May 30th the Sherman entered the harbor of Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. Here Decoration Day was celebrated. At Honolulu, Colonel E. R. KeUo"'" and twelve enlisted men were too sick to proceed further, a”0 were sent ashore. Throughout the year Colonel Kellogg, while nominally in command of the regiment, was too sick to join. Gn December 15th he was ap- pointed a brigadier-general v vohmteers and on the following day was retired from active service, with the rank of brigadier- general. The command of the regiment thus devolved upon, 55 56 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY . Lieutenant-Colonel C. TV . Miner, who was made colonel upon the promotion and retirement of Colonel Kellogg. June 1st the regiment left Honolulu, arriving at Manila about midnight, June 18tli. Two hours before 'Manila was reached, Private Edwin L. Gavitt, Company I, died of typhoid fever. At 7 o’clock on the morning of the 26th the Sherman left Manila and proceeded to Iloilo, arriving about noon of the 27th. The regiment, since leaving Fort Sam Houston on May 17th, had traveled a distance of 1,798 miles to San Francisco, 2,080 miles to Honolulu. 4,961 miles to Manila, and 357 miles to Iloilo, making a total distance traveled by land and water of 9.196 miles. j Condition of Affairs. Leaving the regiment on board the Sherman, it becomes necessary to digress and indicate the nature of the circumstances to which the Sixth owed its presence. On the insurrection at that time in operation throughout the archipelago it is not necessary to dwell. The ambitions and plans of Aguinaldo and his clique, together with the resistance organized by them to United States authority, are matters of history that need no repetition. In June, the date of the Sixth’s arrival, the insurgents still held the held in considerable numbers, particularly in the north- ern islands. Not until later did they disband their field forces ;and adopt the method of guerrilla warfare so aptly termed by General MacArthur as a “modified Fabian policy.” The territory to which the Sixth Regiment had been as- signed was known as the Yisayan Military District and First Separate Brigade, Eighth Army Corps. The district was com- manded by Brigadier-General It. Ik Hughes, United States Vol- unteers, and comprised the islands of Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Ne- gros, Panav, and Guiinaras. General Hughes had at his disposal the following forces: Light Battery G, Sixth Lmited States Artillery. Sixth United States Infantry. Eighteenth United States Infantry. First Battalion Twenty-third United States Infantry. First Regiment California Volunteer Infantry. First Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Infantry. Detachment Volunteer Signal Corps. Detachment Hospital Corps. HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 57 During the greater part of its stay in the islands, the Sixth’s operations were in the islands of Negros, Cebu, and Panay ex- clusively. The other islands of the district were small and com- paratively unimportant, and at no time did the operations on them attain the dignity of a regular campaign. In Panay, the insurgent forces consisted of about 4,000 men, with headquarters at Santa Barbara. Earthworks and trenches had been constructed over a large portion of the island, and the insurgent leaders, under Aguinaldo’s instructions, had made every preparation to withstand the American forces. At this time the rainy season was at its height, and any concerted action against the insurgents was impossible until dry weather should set in. In Negros and Cebu, however, the nature of the coun- try rendered action possible, and it was accordingly decided to prosecute a vigorous campaign on these two islands and secure their pacification by the time movements on Panay should be- come possible. Distribution of Companies. It was decided, however, to land the first battalion of the regiment at Iloilo, Panay, on account of the superior facilities for embarkation afforded there. Companies A, B, C, and D were accordingly disembarked and reported for duty a.t Iloilo, June 28th. The battalion constituted a reserve force, subject to calls from the sub-district commanders. The field, staff, band, and the remaining companies of the regiment remained on the Sher- man off Iloilo until the morning of July 2d, when the transport started for Bacolod, the capital of Negros; arriving there four hours later. On the evening of the same day Company H and twenty-five men of Company K were placed on board two lorchas (small schooners) and sent to the scene of recent disturb- ances near La Carlota. July 3d Companies E, K, and M, with the headquarters, staff, and band, disembarked at Bacolod. Com- pany E proceeded July 11th to Manapla and Cadiz Nuevo, one detachment of thirty-five men of Company K taking station the same day at Silay and the rest of the company proceeding on July 11th to La Carlota. Company I disembarked at ,San Car- los and Bais, Companies F and (1 at Dumaguete and Company L at Jimamaylan and Binalbagan. These movements were considerably retarded by continued rough weather and storms, which made it exceedingly difficult to land troops. Captain B. A. Byrne, with Company H and the K Company detachment, who had left Bacolod in lorchas on the 58 HISTORY OF TILE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Bacolod, Looking South on Calle San Sebastian. Headquarters tith Infantry to Left. 2d, en route for the La Carlofa district, had a particularly rough passage. For six days the command was storm-bound in the lee of Guimaras Island and did not reach La Carlota until July 10th. July 12th the remainder of Company K, under Lieutenant Nesbitt, reinforced Captain Byrne’s command, which had re- lieved detachments of the First California Infantry, United States Volunteers. The First California, after it had been re- lieved by the companies of the two battalions of the Sixth, embarked on the Sherman for Manila, en route to the L'nited States. Negros Prior to the Sixth’s Landing. In older to form a clear conception of the state of affairs prevailing on Negros in July, 1899, it is necessary to review briefly the events of the preceding year. November 6, 1898, the inhabitants of the island, taking ad- vantage of the unsettled condition of affairs existing in the Philippine Archipelago, rose against the Spaniards, overpow- ered and compelled the surrender of most of the Spanish gar- risons and forced a capitulation from the Spanish governor. The Spanish flag was lowered, the public property turned over to the Provisional Government then and there established, and the Spanish military and civil officials were forced to leave the HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 59 island, Negros becoming, for the time being, her own mistress. After considerable speculation as to the best course to pur- sue, the Provisional Civil Government sent a properly authorized commissoner, in the person of -Josd Ereneta, to Captain Glass, of the United States cruiser Charleston, asking that the United States flag be raised upon the island. As the entire ques- tion of the archipelago was then a matter of treaty considera- tion, Captain Glass was powerless to assume any responsibility in the matter. The Provisional Government continued to act for itself, resisting the persuasion and threats of Aguinaldo and agents of the organization in Panay and Luzon until February, 1899, when the American flag was raised over the capital at Bacolod and a deputation was sent to wait upon General Miller at Panay, with a request for troops to protect the island from the Tagalogs, who had threatened to land in force and punish Negros for its adherence to the United States. By General Mil- ler’s advice, the commission proceeded to Manila, where a con- sultation was held with the military governor of the island, Gen- eral E. S. Otis. In consequence of the visit of the commission the military sub-district of Negros was created and a baTtalion of the First California Volunteers was landed on Negros to give protection to the- island and assist in the development of the Civil Government. The troops landed March 4, 1899. A bat- talion of 200 native auxiliaries was formed within a few days. It now became the task of the insurrectionary leaders of Panay and Luzon to create a rupture between the inhabitants of Negros and the United States. A price was put upon the heads of the members of the Provisional Government and a reg- ular system of Filipino revolutionary methods, under the direc- tion of Aguinaldo, was put into effect. The insurgent leaders regarded the reciprocal relations existing between Negros. and the United States as a bad example and a serious menace to the success of their cause and spared no efforts to create dissen- sion Native credulity, ignorance, and suspicion were imposed upon by a bureau organized for the dissemination of lying state- ments and measures of coercion. These measures bore fruit during the month of May, when the Provisional Government's native police at Si lay, deserted with their arms and ammunition and started out to join other malcontents in organizing the nucleus of a force with which to sweep the Americans into the sea. During the same month a small uprising took place on the eastern coast, which was quelled 60 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U S. INFANTRY. by the First California Volunteers without bloodshed. The na- tive police deserters, with refugees and outcasts from the neigh boring islands and Tegal agents of the insurrection, succeeded in keeping affairs in the provinces in a disturbed condition, which necessitated the greatest activity on the part of the American troops to keep from developing into a regular uprising. The island was further disturbed by several bands of so-called ladrones, or bandits, whose habit it was and had been for many years of Spanish misrule to make forays from their strongholds in the mountain fastnesses and rove through the country, extorting blackmail, stealing cattle and committing acts of incendiarism and murder. Some of these bands numbered several hundred members and for a considerable time enjoyed almost complete immunity from punishment. CHAPTER IX. (JULY TO SEPTEMBER, 1899.) Bongbong, Negros. A particularly large and troublesome band of outlaws, known as Babaylanes, was operating at the time the Sixth lauded, in the vicinity of La Carlota. It numbered about 400 members, followers of the excommunicated Spanish priest, Papa Isio. From an almost impregnable position in the mountains, detach- ments of the band made frequent incursions, terrorizing the whole district. Captain R. A. Byrne, in command at La Car- ttota, decided to teach the robbers a lesson, and on the night of July ISth made a forced march into the mountains toward tlwir stronghold, commanding a detachment composed of Lieutenants Evans and Nesbitt, with about eighty -five men from H and Iv Companies. It had been raining almost continuously since the men left the Sherman, and the trails were in a fearful condi- tion. The detachment kept on until a point was reached three miles from town. Here the command was divided, Lieutenant Evans taking a detachment of about thirty men and moving to the right, >in order to cut off fugitives in case the main party should defeat the bandits. Captain Byrne and Lieu tenant Nes- bitt, with the remaining men of the force, took a road leading to the left. About live miles further on this force was halted, as the enemy’s position was near at hand. The command rested until an hour before daybreak, when the march was again taken up. Led by native guides who were acquainted with the local- ity, Captain Byrne’s force was among the bandits at daybreak, effecting a complete surprise. The enemy, believing no Amer- ican force would dare attack their position, had made no prep- arations to prevent a surprise. About 450 of them were thus taken unawares. In the light that followed, which was prac- tically a hand-to-hand one, the Americans scored an overwhelm- ing victory. One hundred and fifteen of the enemy were killed and many more were wounded. Private David S. Anderson, 61 62 HISTORY OF HIE SIXTH U. S. INFAXTRY. Company K, was killed. During the conflict be was set upon by bolo-men. When found, he was frightfully mangled, having re- ceived over forty bolo cuts. Albert C. Jenks, Company K, was wounded. Lieutenant Evans, who had marched down a side trail with thirty men, for the purpose of cutting off fugitives in case of Captain Byrne’s success, encountered a party of the enemy, killing three and capturing many stores. Near Tolon , Negros. July 20th Captain Charles Byrne and Lieutenants Edwards. Maxey, and Wetherill. with 101 men from Companies F and G, started from Dumaguete on an expedition against a band of Babaylanes. Crossing the mountains, they marched down the Siaton River, delayed by continual rains, muddy trails, high waters and steep inclines. A detachment sent to take position in rear of the enemy, in order to prevent escape, thus reached its destination later than was planned. As a result, while making the last crossing of the Siaton, near Tolon, on extemporized bamboo rafts, the command unexpectedly came upon its quarry. Although Lieutenant Maxey, with the advance party, succeeded in killing two and capturing eight, the main body escaped into the mountains, where it was impossible to overtake them. Valdez, Negros. July 27th sixty-seven men of Company E, under Captain Simpson, proceeded by the lorcha Jaro from Cadiz Nuevo to the vicinity of Escalante. Early on the morning of the 28th the command crossed the Danao River and encountered the enemy at Valdez, killing eighteen and taking one wounded prisoner. Near the Malago River, Negros. Sergeant Roeder, with a detachment of eighteen men. left Silay for Guimblaon July 28th to intercept a band of ladrones reported to be marching toward that point from San Isidro. When near Malago River, he sent Privates De Graff, Donnelly. Heger, and Ileichomer forward to reconnoiter, instructing them to return inside of an hour. They kept on until they reached a hacienda , where two of them waited while the others went to the Malago, returning about 2 o'clork. Nothing having oc- curred to excite their suspicion and being misled by the appar- ent friendliness of the treacherous nat ives at the hacienda, they sat down to eat a chicken that had been given them. In the meanwhile about forty insurgent riflemen and one bunded bolo- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 63 men belonging to the battalion of Lieutenant-Colonel Luis Gin- ate had quietly crept up and at a whistle opened upon the four men with a volley. The men, completely surprised, sprang to their feet and returned the lire. For a moment, they suc- ceeded in checking the advance, but, seeing themselves being rap- idly surrounded, they made a dash through the ranks of the in- surgents. In so doing, they were divided. Two of them made for the river jungle and two started for the densely wooded mountain. Private lie Graff succeeded in gaining the river and escaped to Silay, where he later joined the detachment. Pri- vate Donnelly was forced into a house, from which he killed and wounded several of his pursuers. He made a desperate fight and held the natives at bay for a time, but a native woman approached him from behind, threw her arms around his neck, and succeeded in hampering his movements until he was capt- ured and bound. Through the carelessness of his sentry, he es- caped that night, with his hands bound. Privates Heger and Heiehemer. who had started in the direction of the mountains kept up a running fight for a time. When finally brought to bay a few hundred yards from the hacienda , they fought until both were killed. Their terribly mutilated bodies, upon which the natives had perpetrated unspeakable atrocities, were found and buried August 4th. Caiatrava, Negros. Companies E, M, and I joined in the operations against Caiatrava from July 29th to 31st. The enemy escaped from Caiatrava and was pursued to Bato, but again escaped. Bato was entirely destroyed by the Americans. Tabuan, Negros. August 17th Captain E. T. Cole, who was scouting in the vicinity of Manapla and San Isidro with a detachment of men from A, B, C, and Iv Companies, was apprised that an insurgent force of 175 riflemen and 100 macheteros was strongly intrenched at Tabuan, near San Isidro, in the foothills of Mt. Silay. The fol- lowing day several detachments were assembled at San Isidro, until the force consisted of 130 men of A, B. C, K. and M Com- panies; with Captain Cole and Lieutenants Heidt, Putnam. Hani- gan. and Drouillard. Early on the morning of the 19th the force, with Captain Cole in command, left San Isidro for Tabuan amid a heavy downpour of rain. About two and a half miles from San Isidro 64 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. the native guide notified Captain Cole that the enemy's trenches were near at hand, and the command was halted near an open space or clearing, made by cutting down the trees and leaving them on the ground as a sort of entanglement. Here a dispo- sition of forces was made, Captain Cole with fifteen men staying in the forest as a reserve, Lieutenants Hanigan and Putnam go- ing to the left with forty-five men, and Lieutenants Heidt and Drouillard, with the main body, advancing through the clearing in extended order. Crawling over and under the felled trees, the main body man- aged to attain a position within two hundred yards of the en- emy’s trenches, apparently without being seen. This undetect- ed approach enabled them to remain quietly within striking distance while Lieutenant Hanigan and his party were gaining an advantageous position on the left. The men were ordered not to fire or betray their presence until Lieutenant Hanigan should secure a flanking position on the left and commence the attack. Crouching among the trees, they could see the insur- gent flag, with its sun and bars, floating above the trenches, and could catch glimpses of the natives, busy at work on their breastworks. The rain continued to fall in torrents. About 2:15 p. m. Lieutenant Uanigan’s party opened a vol- ley fire on the left. This wms a signal for the main body, which sent several heavy volleys among the surprised insurgents and then commenced a heavy firing at will. Captain Cole, with the reserve, soon joined the men in front of the work and assumed command. The enemy, recovering from the first unexpected shock of the attack, took cover in the trenches and teplied with a heavy fire, though wild. A spirited exchange was kept up on both sides for about half an hour, with the odds fairly even, when Lieutenant Hanigan sent word that he w T as about to try a charge. Making a bold dash across the clearing at the left. Lieuten- ant Hanigan and his men carried the enemy’s flank with a rush and charged along the main trench, driving the enemy before them. These, as they leaped in turn across the open space be- tween two of their partially completed trenches, became targets for the rifles of Captain Cole’s men in front, who took up the charge, directing their fire more and more to the right as Lieu- tenant Hanigan and his party swept along the line. The impe- tus of the combined charge from flank and front could not be resisted, and the natives, breaking like hares to cover, plunged down the steep bank to the right of the advancing force and .HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 65 into the dense jungle of the Malago River, leaving their dead and wounded behind. One man, however, stood by the flagstaff to the last, fighting bravely until he finally fell. The American victory was complete. Nineteen insurgents were killed and many more were wounded. A number of rifles, bolos, and cartridges were captured, as well as quantities of sup- plies, and important papers relating to the insurrection on the island. The attacking party escaped with the following loss: Corporal George Timmerman, Company M, and Privates Stanis- law Mokxa and Terrence O’Donnell, Company B, slightly wound- ed. The insurgent flag was pulled down and presented to Lieu- tenant Hanigan by Captain Cole, who stated that of alt partici- pating in the encounter, he was most deserving of it. By Cap- tain Cole’s orders, the place was destroyed and such supplies as could not be carried back were burned. The command arrived at San Isidro at 7 :3o, and the next day the companies were sent to their respective stations. On the way back the insurgent pay- master Lopez, of the famous family of insurgent leaders, was captured near Silay, together with a quantity of money, stores, papers, etc. Miscellaneous. August 17th, Sergeant Brady, by his coolness and accurate marksmanship, saved the lives of Corporal Morton and Private Plain near San Isidro. The three men formed part of a detach- ment of M Company, which had established Cossack posts. A boloman suddenly jumped out on Private Plain and Corporal Morton at one of these outposts. The two men had their pieces locked, and before they could be brought into action Corporal Morton’s hand had been chopped off and Private Plain had re- ceived a cut in the shoulder. Both would undoubtedly have been killed had not Sergeant Brady, who was about 75 yards distant, taken instant aim and killed his man. August 1st Companies D, II, and K set out for Ysabela on an expedition against bandits, and, after destroying several vil- lages and capturing a quantity of live stock, returned on the 4th. August 3d Private August W. Sohn, Company L, was acci- dentally drowned at sea during a storm. Leaving La Carlota August 28th, Captain B. A. Byrne led a detachment by way of Castellana, proceeding to the bandit vil- lage of Argogula, which he destroyed, after driving out the occu- pants and killing several. CHAPTER X. (SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER, 1899.) During the preceding month Companies A and C had changed stations to Cebu, preparatory to taking part in the campaign opened up against the insurgents There. Cebu Mountains, Cebu. On September 12th detachments from Companies A and C, Sixth Infantry, under Lieutenants Childs and Gleason, and Com- panies A, I, K, and M, Twenty-third Infantry, with a detachment of artillery, making a total force of about 300 men. commenced operations against the insurgent stronghold in the Cebu Moun- tains, near Cebu. Here, posted on commanding eminences, the Filipinos had constructed a system of forts, rifle-pits, and trenches, almost inaccessible to troops advancing under fire and proudly termed by the natives “The Philippine Gibraltar.” The American force marched to El Pardo and ascended the mountains to the enemy’s left. After a great deal of effort, they succeeded in planting their cannon at a point where it over- looked the insurgent forts. From the position occupied by the Americans, eighteen of these forts, rifle-pits, and trenches were in view. As soon as the insurgents caught sight of the Amer- ican troops, they opened fire with their seventeenth century smooth-bore cannons, the Americans replying by sending shell and shrapnel into their works. The monitor Monadnoch was anchored in the bay and assisted by throwing several shells into the forts. Early the next morning about 250 men started down the mountain, crossing two ridges and arriving at the base of the ridge on which were three forts and several rifle-pits and trenches. The insurgents, who occupied the hill in great num- bers, opened fire on the approaching force. It soon became evi- dent that the hill was too steep to be captured by such a small force, and the attacking party withdrew to its position on the 66 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 67 opposite hill to await reinforcements. These arrived Septem- ber 21st, in the shape of the Third Battalion of the Nine- teenth Infantry and the remaining companies of the Tennessee Volunteers. Early on the morning of September 22d the Americans com- menced the attack iu three divisions. The First Division was composed of the forty-four men of Companies A and C, Sixth Infantry, in advance, supported by Companies I and C, Ten- nessee Volunteers. Companies K, Nineteenth Infantry, and M, Twenty-third Infantry, supported by companies of the Volun- teers, formed the Second Division, while the Third Division was made up of the remaining men of the Nineteenth and Twenty- third Infantry, with the balance of the Volunteers as support. The insurgents had been keeping up a constant fire on the Americans since dawn and gave evidence that they intended to make a desperate stand. The Second Division advanced along the middle ridge, while the Third marched across the valley to the ridge on the right and commenced the ascent. There were three peaks to this ridge, and upon the third and highest was an insurgent fort. The First Division ascended the middle ridge a short dis- tance, passed through a gap in the ridge amid a storm of bul lets, and succeeded in crossing to the left ridge, which was within 500 yards of that occupied by the enemy. Here the Filipinos had three forts and several rifle-pits and trenches, which towered high above the works on the other two ridges and which, if they could be gained by the Americans, would render the others untenable. The men of the First Division slowdy ad- vanced along the two ridges, keeping under cover as much as possible and crossing the open spaces by rushes. The insurg- ents had the exact range, and, with plenty of ammunition on hand, kept up a galling fire wherever a mark presented itself. In crossing a gap, Private John H. Norton, Company A, Sixth In- fantry, was wounded. Advancing several hundred feet up the ridge, the First Di- vision came upon a rifle-pit, out of which the occupants fled. Company C, Sixth Infantry, took possession of it, while A Com- pany, led by Lieutenant Childs, pressed forward, crossing an- other gap and coming to the peak of the ridge just ascended. About 700 yards to the left, on a peak, was the insurgent fort. On the same ridge, 200 yards further on, w T as a rifle-pit, and about 500 yards away, up the mountain, was another rifle-pit. 68 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. The fire of all three positions was now directed upon the twenty- seven men of Company A. The company held its ground and opened fire in turn, sending volley after volley into the rifle-pits ahead. It was here that Private William M. Hanley was killed and Private James Conway was wounded. The company held its position for about two hours, silencing the two rifle-pits; but, as the ammunition commenced to run short aud the support did not come up, the men were retired to the rifle-pit previously captured. In the meanwhile C Company, from a captured rifle- pit, had been engaging the fortifications on the opposite ridge, while the Second Division, on the middle ridge, had advanced as far as it could under cover. As it was now seven and one- half hours since the advance had commenced and the men were exhausted, it was decided to discontinue hostilities for the day. The men passed the remainder of the afternoon resting, a few sharpshooters occasionally firing into the enemy’s works. The day’s casualties were: killed, William M. Hanley, Com- pany A, Sixth Infantry; wounded, Privates John H. Norton and James Conway, Company A, and Private John Arthur, Company C, Sixth Infantry, and Sergeant Covav, Nineteenth Infantry. On the following day it became necessary to send the wounded to Cebu and the detachments from Companies A and C of the Sixth, which had been in the hottest of the fight the day before, were detailed for this purpose. The detachment left about 6 o’clock on the morning of the 23d, and. after a verv difficult march, reached Cebu at 3 o’clock that afternoon. The remainder of the force proceeded up the mountain to renew the attack of the previous day. To the surprise of all, the forts re- mained silent. Continuing the advance and meeting with no op- position, it at last became apparent that the works were aban- doned. The insurgents had retired during the night, leaving the Americans to take possession of their stronghold. Although about 800 men participated in the attack of the 22d, credit for the affair belongs almost exclusively to Com- panies A and C, Sixfh Infantry, K. Nineteenth Infantry, and M, Twenty-third Infantry. Gain Taiwan, Negros. September 2Ttli word was brought to headquarters, at Baeolod, that the insurgents were in force near Tabuan and had threatened to destroy the pueilo of Talisay, unless 5,000 pesos HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 69 ($2,500) were immediately delivered over to them. The insur- gent messenger, having partaken too freely of the intoxicants pressed upon by his intended victim, fell into a drunken sleep, and a native was sent by the president into Bacolod, to give the alarm. A detachment of M Company was sent post haste that even- ing and captured the insurgent messenger. He was taken to Bac- olod, thoroughly frightened, and made to divulge information as to the insurgent forces in the hills. With a small detachment of men and the insurgent captive, Captain B. A. Poore and Captain Paul Shillock, assistant sur- geon, proceeded to Silay. Leaving 'Silay on the evening of the 29th, Captains Poore and Shilliock, with about twenty men, made a forced march to the Hacienda Montelibano, arriving about 5 o’clock the following morning. There, during the day, detach- ments from A, C, and K Companies had arrived, having previ- ously left Silay in the direction of Cabancalan to mislead the natives as to their destination. Shortly after midnight on the morning of October 1st the command, consisting of about 100 men, with Captains Poore and Shiillock and Lieutenants H. A. Hanigan and H. Y. Grubbs, set out from the Hacienda Montelibano, the prisoner showing the way. The Mala go River, a swift, dangerous stream, was crossed by means of a rope taken to the opposite bank by a na- tive. Passing San Isidro, the force arrived at Tabuan, where the engagement of August 19th had been fought. It was thought the insurgents might be lying in wait here, so a detour was made to the left and rear. Finding the place deserted, the body proceeded along a muddy trail up Mt. Silay for about a mile, when a halt was made and the guide pointed out the 'insurgent outposts and fortifications. These were situated on a high peak about half a mile from the small rise upon which Captain Poore's command found itself. Across the intervening space stretched a small valley, the trees of which had been felled and allowed to remain as obstacles. According to the prisoner-guide, it was necessary to cross this cleaning and ascend the mountain in or- der to get at the works. This would have brought the men into a position where they would be exposed to fire for fully half an hour, and in the absence of artillery, would have meant annihi- lation to the entire command. Captain Poore finally determined lo find another way by which he could reach the insurgent camp. Corporal Williams, Company A, was left behind with twen- 70 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. ty men, while the main body plunged into the dense jungle to the left to make a turning movement. The prisoner was released from his bonds and with a strong guard went before, clearing away the tangled vines and undergrowth with powerful bolo strokes. After a mile and three-quarters had been covered in this manner and while the force was still about one-fourth of a mile from the objective point, shots were heard from the rear. It was later learned that Corporal Williams and his squad had tired upon a party of uniformed insurgents, killing four and put- ting the remainder to flight. This rendered a surprise impossible, and, pushing forward, the main body at 11:30 debouched from the heavy timber into an opening about 100 yards from the breast- works of Gain Tabuan. Deploying his men in skirmish line, Captain Poore ordered an advance by rushes across the -open level ground. The insurg- ents, housed behind a formidable breastwork of earth and tim- ber, flanked by steep slopes surmounted by trenches and rifle- pits, opened a heavy lire by volleys. Proceeding by rushes across the open space until within thirty-five yards of the breast- work, the command “Charge!” was given, and, with a yell such as only the American soldier can give, the men arose and plunged straight for the works. Lieutenant Grubbs was struck down while in the lead, wrnving a machete, and urging on his men. A bullet had entered his forehead, killing him almost instantly. Just before reaching the breastworks, a deep, wide ditch was encountered, partially concealed by brush and set, in native fash- ion, with sharp bamboo fraises. Jumping this ditch — a feat con- sidered impossible by the natives — the men scrambled over the breastwork and entered the enclosure, shooting down numbers of the enemy wdio had remained to the last. Private John Gan- non, of the C Company detachment, was first over the breast- work, but wiithin a few seconds the place w r as swarming with men. The enemy’s loss w 7 as twenty dead on the field and in the trenches and one captured. Many w 7 ere wounded, including the second insurgent officer in command. The native force, as given by this officer, w 7 as 150, of whom 60 had rifles. Twelve rifles, 1,500 rounds of ammunition, w 7 ith powder, lead, and reloading outfit, and a quantity of lotos, spears, clothing, and hospital sup- plies, w 7 ere captured. The American casualties w 7 ere: First Lieutenant Haydon T. Grubbs, killed; Captain Paul Shillock, surgeon United States HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 71 Army, Sergeant George Stevens, Company A, Privates Harry Campbell, Company B, and Elmer AfLeldt, Company A, wounded. Lieutenant Grubbs was buried on the spot where be so bravel}’ fell, pending removal and burial at a later date. Maulbaul, Cebu. September 17th Captain Walker led a detachment consist- ing of about forty men from A and C Companies, with a mixed detachment from the Twenty third Infantry and the First Ten- nessee Volunteer Infantry, against the enemy near Maulbaul, Cebu. The command marched along a narrow road, bordered on either side by impassable swamps, and leading into another road running perpendicularly to it. This second road was backed by a high, natural stone wall, or cliff, up which it was impossible for men to climb and on top of which a strong force of insurgents had taken position. Captain Walker’s command was fired upon. Lmable to get at the enemy from the front and unable to deploy his men or make a detour by reason of the swamps on both sides of the road, Captain Walker found it nec- essary to withdraw. Privates Daniel E. Adams and Charles N. Cotey, Company A, were killed; Privates Horace HucbinsoD, Company C, and William F. Stovall, Company A, were severely wounded. Ysabela, Negros. September 16th the L Company quarters at Ysabela were attacked during the night by a band of about thirty “Papa Isians,” who retreated after the sentry had fired three shots at them. Musician Patrick Conway, while acting as corporal of the guard, was attacked by the party as he was making his rounds and narrowly escaped with his life. He was severely wounded by bolo cuts and by a brass bullet, presumably fired from ■a Remington. Along the trail blood-spots were found, indicating that some of the sentry’s shots had taken effect. CHAPTER XI. t (OCTOBER TO DECEMBER, 1899.) Guin Tabuan, Negros. See preceding chapter, pages 68, 69, and 70. San Carlos, Negros. October 20th Lieutenant Simons and twenty enlisted men of Company I left San Carlos to operate against a band of Tuli- sanes north of that place. The detachment arrived at the cuar- td of the band early on the morning of the 21st, killing three of them, wounding several, and completely destroying their village. October 25th Sergeant Guiney and nine men of the company attacked a similar band to the north of Calatrava, killing two and wounding several. Bang, Negros. October 19th a detachment from L Company, under First Sergeant Craven, marched into the mountains and destroyed the “Papa Isian’’ village Baog, situated about live miles southeast of Ysabela. Six of the enemy were killed. On the 27th of the month Sergeant Craven and eight men made a successful three- days expedition into the mountains, over paths and trails never before trodden by white men. Numerous native houses in out- of-the-way places were discovered and the outlaws inhabiting them were driven out. Thirteen of the enemy were killed, twenty-three native houses were burned, and over 250 bushels of rice and 40 bushels of beans, supplies of the outlaws, were destroyed. On the 21.st of the month another expedition from Company L, under Captain Omar Bundy, left for the mountains to dis- cover the rendezvous of outlaw “Papa Isians.” Three of the mountain men were killed and numerous houses and supplies were destroyed. 72 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 73 Mountains Near Castellana, Negros. October 27th Company Iv left its station at Castellana and marched into the mountains in pursuit of bandits, attacking and destroying a village and killing about fourteen. On the 29th the company again marched into the mountains,, destroyed the town of Boyes and killed four or five. On the 31st a detachment under command of Lieutenant Young marched about ten miles to in- tercept a party of bandits reported to number 300 men. The party was not encountered and the detachment returned to its. station. Hacienda Carmen, Negros. October 25th Company H left La Carlota for Pontevedra, remaining there until October 27th, when the company started for a “Papa Isian” camp or village beyond the Hacienda Carmen. They arrived at and surprised this camp on the early morning of the 27th and had an engagement. Some fifteen of the outlaws were killed, a number were wounded, twenty were taken prison- ers, and about 100 head of carabaos were captured. The village was burned and the company, with its captured prisoners and animals, returned to La Carlota. Sagajon River, Negros. October 7th a detachment of thirty men from Company B, under command of First Lieutenant H. J. Hunt, attacked the enemy on the Sagajon River, inflicting a loss of four killed and thirty wounded and taking about thirty prisoners. Balangtang, Panay. On the 21st of November Company L, Sixth Infantry, which had arrived from Negros, took part in the engagement at Bal- angtang, near Jaro, Panay, in conjunction with Companies I, M, and L, 26th Volunteer Infantry. The insurgents were driven from their trenches with considerable loss. Corporal Lawrence E. Orennan and Private Paul Rink, Company L, were among the wounded. The company, with one battalion of the Twenty- sixth Infantry, marched along the coast and on the 25th of the month had an engagement at Banate, and, marching inland, took possession of a small native village. The following day possession was taken of a town twelve miles southeast of Banate. 74 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Valle-II ermoso, Negros. Lieutenant Mulliken and twenty men of Company I attacked the cuartel ot a band of Babaylanes in the vicinity of Valle- Hermoso, October 17th. killing four and putting the rest to flight. Payao, Negros. November 10th information was received at the Company L> headquarters that a band of robbers had attacked the village of Payao, about ten miles distant. A detachment of fifteen men was at once dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, the robbers were driven into the moun tains and their nipa huts were burned. The detachment returned to Ysabela, the same day. November Kith an adjacent hacienda, distant about seven miles, was re- ported attacked and six men were ordered there at once. They followed the enemy into the mountains, but. were unable to over- take them. The December Uprising on Negros. Affairs on Negros, which during the past month had been quiet, were again disturbed during the month of December. The vigorous campaign which had opened in Panay had caused a number of Tagail fugitives from that island to seek refuge in Negros, where they landed with their arms and ammunition and commenced to stir up trouble. In addition, delegates from the junta at Hongkong were on the island preaching a crusade against the Provisional Civil Government. A project was in embryo for overthrowing the authorities and expelling the American troops, and with this end in view the fugitive insurg- ents, a number of native police, and -such followers as could be gained in the island were known to be collecting arms, ammuni- jion, and supplies and otherwise preparing to take the field. La Gran j a, Negros. December 7th First Lieutenant Augustus C. Ledyard, with fifteen men of Company M, was sent out to occupy Maao as a point of observation. While scouting in the vicinity of that place he came upon the entire combined force of sixty-three riflemen HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. and three hundred and twenty marheteros on the model farm of La Granja. Lieutenant Ledyard, with his fifteen men, four native police, and six Melicianos of Maao, though outnumbered fifteen to one, promptly formed his force in extended order and gave battle to the insurgents. The little band of Americans and “friendlies” poured such a deadly fire into the insurgents from behind the bank of a creek that they commenced to waver and finally to retreat slowly back- ward. Leaving their cover in pursuit, the Americans followed up their advantage. Seeing that the enemy had taken shelter further back, they commenced a series of advances by rushes toward his position. After half an hour’s fighting, as he was standing and giving the command for the third rush, Lieutenant Ledyard received a bullet-wound in the forehead and died almost immediately after. The command of the little force then de- volved upon Corporal Purcell, who continued the engagement for a while, when the enemy again retreated. Fearing his men would become scattered and cut off in pursuit of such a large force, Corporal Purcell withdrew the detachment The insurgent loss was seventeen killed and many wounded. In addition to the death of Lieutenant Ledyard, the American casualties were Privates Payton Womack and Reed W. Keeney, slightly wounded. Ginigaran, Negros. December 8th Sergeant D. IT. Brown and a detachment of Company D were attacked by insurgents at Ginigaran and Pri- vates William J. Huggard and Raymond F. Burbee were wound- ed, the former severely. The news reaching Ysabela, Captain Omar Bundv and twenty-five men started immediately to then- relief. but arrived too late to take part in the fighting. After burning several houses from which the attacking force had fired. Captain Bundy warned the natives that the next offense would be summarily dealt with. He returned with his men to Ysabela, arriving at 2:30 p. m., December 9th. At 6 o’clock in the even- ing, learning that another attack was to be made, Captain Bundy and his party left at once for the scene, reaching Ginigaran at midnight. Local officials and prominent men of the town were arrested, to be held as hostages, and a heavy fine was imposed upon the town. The party scattered and reconnoitered along the coast, capturing and wounding a lieutenant-colonel of in- surgents and burning two houses. Moving toward Ysabela on 76 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. the morning of the 12th, the detachment attacked and burned the Bario Granda, an insurgent rendezvous, and returned to Gingara.n. Captain Bundy and his men returned to Ysabela on the 15th of the month. December 16th Second Lieutenant H. G. Young and twenty- Emilio Aguinaldo in Uniform. five men were ordered towards the mountains and bario of Cabog to reconnoiter. About two miles out, advance outposts of the insurgents were encountered at a sugar-mill near the bario of Camungcamung and driven back. Captain Bundy arriving with reinforcements, the advance was continued into the mountains. HISTORY OF TEH SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 77 The enemy was discovered strongly entrenched in the mountain fastnesses and was promptly attacked and dislodged from his position. Private Francis Gavin was severely wounded during this action. First Lieutenant W. F. Nesbitt, with forty-five men from Company K and fifteen native police, reinforced Captain Bundy’s party on the 17th. The insurgents were pursued into the moun- tains, their stronghold was burned, and about ten of them were killed. On December 19th it was learned that a small force of insurgents had assembled at the Hacienda Tongal, at the foot of the mountains between Soledad and Jimamaylan and a de- tachment of ten men, under Corporal Markley, Company F, was sent from Binalbagan to attack the place and destroy it. This they did, killing five insurredos and destroying ten tons of rice. These movements practically ended the insurrection in Negros and in a great measure restored quiet and harmony. CHAPTER XII. (JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1900.) Operations in Panay. The active campaign against the Panay insurgents had com- menced during the latter part of the preceding year and had been vigorously prosecuted during the months of November and December. With the exception of L Company, which arrived from Negros in time to participate at Balangtang and Banare on the 21st and 25th of October, the Sixth had taken no part in these movements, which resulted in the occupation of Capiz and Iloilo provinces, leaving Antique Province still in the hands of the insurgents. In January, 1900, the campaign against Antique Province was commenced. January 2d Companies A and C, which had been in Cebu, were returned to Panay, and a mixed command was made up . at Iloilo to cross the mountains into Antique. Captain G. B. Walker, with Companies A and C and a detachment of Company L, Sixth Infantry, Captain Gordon's scouts, and two mountain guns of Battery G, Sixth Artillery, under Lieutenant McMaster, was sent down the coast road with a pack-train. Major Huston’s battalion of the Nineteenth Infantry was put on the transport Elcano at Iloilo and proceeded to San Joaquin with supplies for his battalion and Captain Walker’s. Lieu- tenant-Colonel W. S. S<-ott, Forty-fourth Infantry, United States Volunteers, with three companies of his regiment, started for Igbarras, from which place he was expected to proceed by trail over the mountains to Bogo in time to cut off the enemy Major Huston and Captain Walker were to drive out of San Jose de Buena Vista and Sibalon. As prearranged, Major Huston and Captain Walker joined forces at San Joaquin. Here Brigadier-General Hughes took command. Crossing the range, the force reached La Granja on the 17th. On the morning of the 18th the enemy was encoun- tered in a strong position on the banks of the Antique River. Heavy rifle-pits had been built on the further bank and on the 78 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. '.9 American side a force of infantry and artillery had been posted on the mountain. The American gunboats Concord and Pam- panga had arrived during the night and assisted in the crossing by shelling the town, while the American troops attacked the mountain flank. After half an hour’s lighting, .the insurgents were driven out and their two guns, one a Nordenfeldt machine gun, were captured. The river was then crossed, the insurgents fleeing. The command proceeded to Sibalon, the entire population San Jose de Buena Vista, Showing Insurgent Buildings and Loop- holed Stone Wall. fleeing at their approach, and thence to San .Josd de Buena Vista, where Major Huston’s battalion was left, and the balance of the force pushed on to Colasi. Here Captain Walker and Companies A and C were sent on the transport Elcano to Pandan, whence they marched to Santa Anna, where the insurgents were report- ed to be assembling. Finding nothing at Santa Anna but sub- sistence supplies, the detachment returned to Pandan and joined the scouts, mountain guns, and train. The combined command, with General Hughes at the head, then marched through Santa Cruz Pass to Navas, Ibajay, Macate, 80 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. and Calivo. In the meanwhile Lieutenant-Colonel S -ott, with his three companies of the Forty-fourth Infantry, had been ap- proaching Calivo through the mountain passes, the object being to march up the Alcan Valley in time to reach Calico and crush the insurgents at that place between his command and General Hughes’. The movement had been carefully calculated, but Ooilionel Scott’s command met with unforeseen obstacles and was delayed a day. On the approach of the Sixth Infantry and Gor- don’s scouts the insurgents fled up the Alcan Valley and scat- tered in the mountains. The following day Colonel Scott am] his force, greatly fatigued, joined at Calico. Captain Walker, with Companies A and C of the Sixth, re- mained at Calico. General Hughes and staff, with the three com- panies of the Forty-fourth Infantry, embarked on the transport Elcano for Iloilo. Captain Gordon, with his scouts, the moun- tain guns, and train, and Lieutenant Purdy and the L Company detachment as escort, returned overland. Iu coming through the pass near Pandan the command was fired upon- and one man. Private Geo. Schucard, Company L, was killed. The march was continued down the coast to Iloilo without further casualties. Victorian, Negros. January 2d First Lieutenant Hunt, Sixth Infantry, and First Lieutenant H. L. Evans, Forty-fourth Infantry, United States Volunteers, with a detachment of twenty-eight men from Company B, Sixth Infantry and forty-three men from Company B of the Forty-fourth, left Manapla under command of Lieu- tenant Hunt and marched to Victorias, capturing a quantity of rice and five prisoners. The detachment left Victorias on the 3d and returned to Manapla. It left Manapla the following day and marched to the Canaryan, where it remained three days, pa- trolling the roads and trails and capturing twenty-four prison- ers. During the remainder of the month the detachment made several more expeditions into the interior, visiting and inspect- ing trails, haciendas , etc., in compliance with orders. La Castellana, Negros. January 1 4th Companies H and K. forming part of a detach ment commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel B. A. Byrne, Fortieth Infantry, United States Volunteers, took part in an expedition into the mountains near La Castellana. They attacked an in- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 81 surgent stronghold, killed between thirty and forty, and cap- tured twenty-six rides and a quantity of arms and ammunition. Interior of Negros , During the month of January Company E made frequent ex- peditions into the interior of Negros, ridding a large tract of ter- ritory of ladrones, killing some, capturing others, and destroying several villages inhabited by them. .1 locate, Panay. February 22d Company C, with ten men from Company A, left Calivo, Panay, on a reconnaissance to Ibajay. On the re- turn march two days later the company was bred upon by a large body of insurgents who held four separate strong posi- tions in the mountains between Macate and Tangalan. The en- gagement lasted about four hours, and, finding that the enemy’s position was too difficult to be taken, the company continued its march to Calivo. First Lieutenant F. C. Bolles and Privates George Hemphill, Magruder Andrews, and Horace Hutchinson were wounded. Madalag, Panay. February 13th Company A encountered and defeated a small party of insurgents near Madalag. No casualties. Paldli and Bulnangan, Negros. March 7th Company D left Binalbagan and marched to Ysabela, proceeding the following day to the Binalbagan River and the day after a ladrone settlement eight miles farther on. The company was fired upon. The advance guard returned the fire and the natives fled. All the huts in the vicinity were burned and the march was resumed. At Palali the advance guard was again fired upon, and when the compliment was re- turned, the enemy again broke for cover. After burning the ladrone village, the company bivouacked for the night and the next day started back, burning all the huts along the line of march. March 14th Corporal Harry Wilson, with a detachment of the company, went into the foothills and destroyed a large number of ladrone shacks. On the 24th of the month Corporal Wilson and his detachment again marched into the mountains in search of a ladrone settlement named Bulnangan, about eighteen miles from Progreso. It was intended to surprise the settle- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 82 meat at night, but about a mile from the detachment’s destina- tion the guide ran away. Corporal Wilson waited until day- light, and then found the ten shacks hidden in the timber. His men drove out the ladrones, killing their leader, and burned the shacks, capturing a number of horses and carabaos, destroying a quantity of rice and killing a number of pigs and goats.

Captain Morton and twenty men of Company K on March 17th attacked and dispersed a body of ladrones. burned the vil- lage, and returned to Bacolod. March 24tli First Lieutenant Bobertson, with a detachment of ten men, embarked on a native boat for Siaton. About two miles from shore the boat was swamped and the entire detach- ment, which was rescued with great difficulty by native boats f narrowly escaped drowning. Department of the Visayas. March 29, 1900, the Visayan Military District and First Sep- arate Brigade, Eighth Army Corps, was discontinued and a Department of the Visayas created in its stead. Brigadier-Gen- eral S. B. Hughes was retained in command of the department, which included the islands of the former district and those of Samar and Leyte. The department was divided into four dis- tricts, as follows: First District. — Islands of Samar and Leyte; Colonel Ar- thur Murray, Forty-third Infantry, United States Volunteers, commanding. Second District. — Islands of Cebu and Bohol: Colonel E. -T. McClernand, Forty-fourth Infantry, United States Volunteers, commanding. Third District. — Islands of Negros and Siquijor : Brigadier- HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 83 General Jas. F. Smith, United States Volunteers, commanding.

May 23d and 26tli A Company had successful skirmishes at the same place, but with no casualties. Corporal Hanson Stabbed. During the month of June Corporal Otto Hanson, Company A, was stabbed in the abdomen by a supposed insurgent. Proclamation of Amnesty. June 21, 1900, complete amnesty was proclaimed to all in- surgents in the islands who would lay down their arms. This proclamation and the causes leading up to and following it are discussed in the following chapter. Native Scouts. July 19tli the organization of native scouts was commenced in the Department of the Viisavas and continued until there were eight companies in Panay, four in Negros, one in Bohol, two in Cebu, and four in Leyte. San Dimas , Panay. August 28th a detachment from Companies A and C, under First Lieutenant D. W. Ryther, left Calivo at midnight on a reconnaissance to San Dimas, Bald Mountains. Arriving at San Dimas early the following morning, the detachment found the insurgents in several strong positions and immediately opened fire, forcing the insurgents to return after about two hours' fighting. Returning, the enemy was fired upon at San Roque, but dispersed them in fifteen minutes’ fighting. Another brush took place at Lilion. 1 84 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. Agutay, Panay. August 24th a detachment of twenty-two enlisted men of Company C, under command of Lieutenant Anderson left Mali- nao on a reconnaissance to Agutay and while there participated in an attack upon the insurgent quarters, in which Corporal Willard L. Dittmen was killed. Expedition to Sipalay, Negros. August 17th Captain Charles Byrne, in command of a force consisting of Second Lieutenant G. S. Richards, Jr., and sev- emty-five men of Companies G and F, embarked on the Elcano for Compomanes Bay. An expedition against Sipalay was con- templated, but the command was ordered to return on the fol- lowing day, the weather not permitting of a landing. Rainy Season Prevents Action. The rainy season had now set in, and from the middle of August until November no concerted action was attempted. The various companies and detachments of the regiment remained at their respective stations, doing garrison duty and occasion- ally heading off some small movement on the part of the ladrones. Colonel Miner Made Governor. October G, 1900, Colonel C. W. Miner, Sixth Infantry, as- sumed the office of military governor of Negros and command of all troops on the island. An insurrrection was in process of for- mation, the chief agitators being the civil governor, Melecio Sev- erino, and the attorney-general, Dionisio Mapa. Lieutenant- Colonel Byrne, Fortieth Infantry, was directed to keep a careful watch and prevent the outbreak. At the proper moment the principal agents of the leaders were arrested and the scheme fell to the ground. The cessation of the equinoctial rains caused a slight resump- tion of activity, both among the insurredos and ladrones and the American forces. The backbone of the insurrection in the Visayas, however, was hopelessly broken, although the neigh- boring islands to the north continued to wage their hopeless fight for independence. Negros was quiet. The operations in Cebu were mainly against roving bands of guerrillas. Panay still HISTORY OF THE SIXTH (J. S. INFANTRY. 85 showed signs of ebullition and it was on that island that the principal events occurred during the latter part of the year. The Panay Campaign. In order to break up the insurgent organization in Panay once and for all, it was decided to wage a vigorous campaign in all three provinces, the purposes of which were to destroy the food supply and by frequent expeditions break up the enemy’s organization. In Capiz Province the troops took the field in two columns, one operating in the Panay Valley under Captain Shanks, Eighteenth Infantry, and the other, which included strong detachments of Companies A, C, and K, Sixth Infantry, Burning of Rosario, December, 1900. under Captain Morton, operating in the Alcan Valley. Both of these columns displayed the greatest activity and were not long in reducing the disturbed districts to a fair semblance of order. On the evening the news of President McKinley’s re-election was received a force of ISO rifle- and bolo-men entered the town of Malinao, and attacked the convent where a detachment of thirty- 86 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. nine men from Company C, commanded by Lieutenant Bolles, was quartered. The attack occurred shortly after midnight, and was repulsed after about two hours’ fighting. The following day Captain Morton and the A and C Company detachments from Calio arrived and an expedition was made into the hills. During the closing months of the year Captain Mor ton’s forces had sev- eral encounters with the insurgents, and in December captured and burned Kosario. CHAPTER XIII. REVIEW OF THE YEAR 1900. It again becomes necessary to digress and consider the con- dition of affairs prevailing at the close of the year 1900. When, at the insurgent council of war at Bayambang, it was decided to disband the field forces, it was assumed that the ac- tion of the insurgents indicated a willingness to quit and that but little more remained for the American troops to do. Acting on this assumption, which seemed to be justified by the cessation of activity on the part of the insurgents and the consequent fall- ing off in the number of engagements, complete amnesty was promulgated on June 28, 1900. This action, in the light of later events, showed that not as yet had the native character been fathomed by the Americans. The insurgents, far from acknowledging themselves defeated in a contest where they had everything to gain and but little to lose, had simply adopted a carefully planned method of guerrilla warfare, which consisted of occupying a strong series of defen- sive positions and offering just enough resistance to keep the Americans continually busy, while at the same time avoiding an encounter in force. This plan of campaign was skillfully car- ried out, and only by constant, unremitting action and tireless vigilance could the Americans keep the territory “policed” by them in anything like order. The period of comparative inactivity following the disband- ment decided upon at Bayambang simply represented the time necessary to redistribute and adjust the insurgent forces to the new method of warfare. It was the opinion of Aguinaldo and the native leaders that if, by the dilatory methods agreed upon, they could continue to resist the American troops until the presidential election in November, 1900, when they fondly hoped that Bryan would be elected, their cause was won and they would be able to impose advantageous terms of peace. This hope failing them, it was thought they would be willing to abide by the decision of the American people and discontinue the strug- S7 88 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. gle. While the triumphant re-election of President McKinley undoubtedly went a long way toward accomplishing this end. the subtle Oriental character still showed itself capable of ram- ifications the Americans could not “sabe.” New Policy Adopted. Peace still seemed far distant and the Americans tvere again forced to reconstruct their “fences.’' As a result of the natural ignorance, superstition, and suspicion of the natives, fostered by many years of Spanish colonial administration and oppression, it became evident that American kindness was looked upon as weakness and fear, to which a bold front could be successfully opposed. The insurgent leaders, careful to foster this belief, and undeterred by humanitarian scruples, announced on their part that every native residing within the Philippine Archipel- ago owed active individual allegiance to the insurgent cause. They enforced this decree wherever possible by the severest pen- alties, carrying on a system of secret communication and intimi- dation under the very noses of the American officials and caus- ing the kidnapping and assassination of such prominent natives as inclined toward peace. So marked was the cohesion of Fili- pino society to insurgent interests that the most flagrant of these assassinations were generally accepted as legitimate acts of insurgent governmental authority. Having signally failed in working on the native mind by acts of kindness, forbearance, and liberality and appeals to their com- mon sense and gratitude, it was determined to descend to first principles and try the effect of ordinary fear. With this view, and in order to clear 1171 some of the more flagrant misconcep- tions, General MacAnthur, military governor of the islands, on the 20tli of December, 1900, published a proclamation which called attention to the military law of nations; that a place held by an organized force stands under the martial law of the occu pying force, and that the people of such a place are under the protection of the commanding general. The circular pointed out that insurgent mandates to kidnap or assassinate occupants of such occupied places made all parties concerned guilty of violation of the laws of war and punishable under them by death or expatriation. Particular stress was laid on the fact that un- der these same laws of war any inhabitant of an occupied place who furnished information or aid to, or was in secret communi- cation with, insurgents on the outside, became by such acts a HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 89 military rebel and traitor, and as such was subject to all the penalties prescribed in such cases. It was further stated that these laws of war would be strictly enforced. Copies of this proclamation were printed in the thirteen newspapers of Manila, in English, Spanish, and Tagalog, and, through the military gov- ernors of the various islands, thousands of them were distrib- uted throughout the archipelago. This document, in conjunction with the renewed activity imposed upon the troops and the subsequent arrest and deporta- tion of a large number of insurgent leaders, agents, officials, sympathizers, and agitators, had a most beneficial effect in changing the attitude of the non-combatants and checking the growth of the insurrection itself. As a further means to this same end, orders were issued that all prisoners of war captured in the field or arrested in the towns should be held in custody un- til the cessation of hostilities; all who surrendered were to be disarmed and released at once. The Philippine Commission. Another effective agent in bringing about a better condi- tion of affairs was the work of the Philippine Commission, which in January, 1901, adopted the municipal code and the provincial law and in February began the task of organizing those prov- inces which were deemed prepared for Civil Government. The commission was seconded in its work by the Federal party, which had been organized in November, 1900, and which, through its various committees, assisted in arranging for numerous sur- renders of insurgent forces. CHAPTER XIV. (JANUARY TO DECEMBER, 1901.) Bungtang-Poiu, Panay. The ilnal campaign in force against the insurgents in Panay, which started in November, 1900, was vigorously pushed to a conclusion during the earlier months of the year 1901. One of the most difficult positions encountered by Caprain Morton's col- umn was Bungtang-Batu, a high, steep hill in the Vivo Mountains, near Macato. The hill projected from the mountains of which it formed a part and commanded the surrounding territory and Battle of Bungtang-Batu. Artillery Shelling Bungtang-Batu ( Solid Rock): the Round Peak in Front; Capt. Foster and Col. Rice on Raise at Left. approaches. On it the insurgents had spent considerable labor .in fortifying what they deemed an almost impregnable position. 90 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 91 Huge rocks, poised on the summit and slopes by means of ropes, were ready to be launched downward upon an advancing force, while an elaborate system of rifle-pits and trenches rendered the position stiill more formidable. Several companies of the Forty-fourth Volunteer Infantry having failed in an attack upon the place at an earlier date, it was decided to proceed against it in force. Accordingly Cap- tain Foster’s Battery G, Sixth Artillery, with Companies A, C, and K, Sixth Infantry, and two companies of the Forty-fourth Volunteer Infantry, with Captain Morton, Sixth Infantry, in command, arrived at Butong-Batu about S a. m., January 20th. and opened an attack on the place. Captain Foster’s artillery pieces, having been placed in posi- tion near at hand, opened fire on the hill and with well-directed shots sent the suspended bowlders one by one crashing down the slopes. These menaces being removed, the artillery turned its attention to the rifle-pits and trenches. Under cover of the artil- lery fire, the infantry companies charged the hill, reaching its crest and putting the insurgents to flight. After burning such supplies, etc., as could not be taken away, the command returned to Calivo. Sugnud and Bungsud Mountains, Panay. January 27th an expedition, comprising Battery G. Sixth Artillery, and Companies A, C, and K. Sixth Infantry, left Mal- inao, Panay, to operate against insurgent positions in the Sug- nud and Bungsud Mountains, near Rosario. Passing through Rosario and entering into the foothills of the mountains, the com- mand encountered a band of insurgents. A running fight en- sued. which lasted through the day and into the night. The en- emy secured position after position from which to fire upon the advancing troops, and, when driven out, retreated and took up a stand farther back. During the night Sergeant Shelato was wounded by a native spear trap, of which there were many. Returning to Malinao. the expedition on January 30th marched into the Bald Mountains, and the same day, at San Di- mas, had a sharp battle with the insurgents which lasted about four hours. End of the Panay Insurrection. The dissolution of the insurrection in Panay commenced dur- ing the month of January, when Martin Delgado, commanding the remnants of the insurgent force in Iloilo Province, surren- 92 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. dered at Bangol. On the 14th of the month Honorio Solinap, with thirty men and twenty rifles, surrendered; Manuel Solinap and thirteen officers, ninety-seven men, and five delegados sur- rendered on the 20th, and on February 2d the formal surrender of the main portion of the insurgent troops in Iloilo Province took place at Jaro. March 3d Colonel Protasio Mondejar, with seven officers and forty men, surrendered, and on the 18th Cap- tain Shanks, Eighteenth Infantry, and Lieutenant Bolles, Sixth Infantry, with detachments, effected the wounding and capture Gen.

With the surrender of Salas, the last recognized chief of the island, organized insurrection ceased to exist in Panay. Uprising on Negros. January 7, 1901, a last spasmodic attempt was made to start a popular uprising on Xegros. Graciano Darna and Ma- hogny Baltazar, acting under instructions received from Luzon, formed an organization and instigated the outbreak, which was participated in for the most part by refugees from Panay and Cebu. The combined insurgent forces numbered only two hun- dred, few of whom had rilies. They were engaged, with a loss of seven killed, at Bacong, by Second Lieutenant G. F. Richards, Jr., with a detachment consisting of men from F and G Companies. After this engagement, they evaded capture for nearly two months. After Graciano Darna had been captured by Corporal 94 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. George M. Quick, Companj- G, over one hundred bolo- and rifle- men came in and surrendered to Lieutenant Robertson at Duma- guete. The rest broke up into small bands and took to the mountains. Barrio Liioan, Fanay. On February 14th Corporals Thomas P. Wolfe and John P. Stacke, with nine privates, Company C, part of a detachment at Malinao, marched to Barrio Liioan and surprised a force of insur- gents. They defeated their opponents in a twenty-minutes fight, killing three of them and taking one wounded prisoner, besides capturing some small arms and a quantity of ammunition. Nabalon, Fanay. February 18tli Lieutenant Hanigan and eighty-five men of Company l engaged a body of intrenched insurgents at Naba- lon, capturing their position and putting them to flight. Balet, Fanay. February 6tli, Lieutenants Nesbitt and Awl and seventy en- listed men of Company K left station on a reconnaissance to Bal et and Jimeno. They destroyed the town of Balet on the 9th and on the same day had a skirmish on the road with insurgents. June 171h Lieutenant Nesbitt and thirteen men of Company K went into the mountains and returned after capturing one ladrone. Mountains, Fanay. From June 15tli to 24tli a mounted detachment consisting of Lieutenants Heidt, Sixth Infantry, and Moynilran. Eighteenth Infantry, twenty-nine men of Company M, Sixth Infantry, one man of Company K, Eighteenth Infantry, with nine Panay scouts, went on an expedition through the mountains of Panay and returned without having encountered any insurgents or ladrones. Ysabcla, Negros. Corporal Radel and a detachment of nine men of Company H, while scouting in the mountains near Ysabeia, September 9th, encountered a band of ladrones at the foot of a steep moun- tain, defeating them after a thirty-minute engagement. HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFANTRY. 95 Cebu. Since the defeat on Sudlon Mountains January 8th, the in- surgents in Cebu had made no attempt to occupy any position, but roamed over the island, stealing cattle, robbing native farms, and attempting to waylay small American detachments. During the month of September, Companies D and I, under Lieu- tenants Bolles and Hanigan, made an expedition to the island, where they waged a vigorous warfare against the scattered bands, cleaning up the fag ends of the insurrection and restor- ing order to the provinces. The formal surrender of insurgent forces occurred at Naga, in November. In November the two companies went to the island of Bohol, where they remained the balance of the year. Canlupe Mountains, Negros. Captain Atkinson, Lieutenant Young, Contract Surgeon Hanson, and thirty-four men of Companies H and F left Ysabela November 21st for the Canlupe Mountains; they destroyed sev- eral houses and captured six prisoners. Several detachments went into the mountains from the 24th to the 29th, destroying a large quantity of forage and provisions and burning a number of ladrone rendezvous. CHAPTER XV. CONCLUSION OF CAMPAIGN. But little remains to record of the regiment’s stay in the Philippine Islands. The regiment, as has been seen, had ac- complished its mission in Negros, Panav, Cebu, and Bohol, and had earned a much-needed rest. Captain Atkinson with a detach- ment from Company H attacked and defeated a band of ladrones at Burgna, Negros, on the 1 1th of January, 1902, killing three and wounding as many more. Several expeditions were made in the La Carlota District by Captain Kennon, with mixed commands from Companies D, H, and F, in which the insurgents and ladrones suffered severe losses. At Hagimiint, Captain Kennon and four men were attacked by about thirty of the enemy, who were finally beaten off with a loss of several killed and wounded. The Headquarters, staff, and baud and the Second Battal- ion performed the routine garrison duties at their respective stations in Negros, while the First and Third Battalions per- formed like duties on Panay. In May, 1902, the regiment was concentrated at Iloilo, preparatory to its homeward trip. May 19th the Sixth embarked on the Sheridan and left for Manila, arriving there on the 21st. On the 22d, just three years after the date of embarkation at San Francisco, the Sixth was transferred to the Sherman , and on the same day left Ma- nila for the United States via Nagasaki, Japan, arriving at Nagasaki June 2d and leaving two days later for San Fran- cisco. San Francisco was reached at 8 p. m., June 21st, and the following day, at 4 p. m., the regiment went into camp at the Presidio. Here the Sixth remained until the morning of June 28th, when it left San Francisco for Fort Leavenworth, via the Southern Pacific, Rio Grande, Western and Santa Fd Railways. Fort Leavenworth was reached July 2d. at 8:00 p. m.. and the 507 officers and men of the regiment, many of them veterans of two campaigns, were heartily welcomed by the people of Leavenworth and soldiers from the post. As the new Sixth Infantry barracks 96 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U. S. INFAXTRY. 97 were not completed, the regiment went into camp near Merritt Lake. From September 20th to October Sth the regiment partic-i pated in the autumn maneuvers at Fort Rilev, Kas., the First and Third Battalions starting overland September Sth and arriving September 20th, while the Headquarters and Second Battalion proceeded by rail on the 19th and reached Fort Riley the same day. The return was made on foot. The regiment started Octo- ber Sth, reaching Fort Leavenworth October 18th. 98 HISTORY OF THE SIXTH U S.
