Thursday, may 31. wo. TIIE ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN. DO NOT ENDORSE THE DELIGHTFUL WAR PICTURES Our Troops Have Suffered in the Philippines. SOLDIER WHO MUST PERFORM DUTY QUTSIDE OF GARRISON IN GREAT PERIL. SUBSCRIBERS, TO ASHEVILLE'S AUDITORIUM ASHEVILLE MUST HAVE THE AUDITORIUM READY FOR USE IN MAY, 190L , Washington, May 31. Army officers wh lmvi- recently returned from Ma nila do not. In private conversations, endorse the delightful pictures of American triumphs and Filipino slaughter wtlh which the administra tion has deluged the country. Quite the contrary. According to them, our troops have suffered very nearly as severely In the war as the natives have, the difference being that the Filipinos suffer In actual fight, while our men are cut-off and killed whenever they Straggle beyond the lines. Any tray eler who wishes to go fronTone gar rison to another must be accompanied by a guard of soldiers, The railway from Manila to Dagupah Is being op erated, but there Is a heavy garrison In every town and a night and day guard at every bridge. Wagon and pack trains are fired on from ambush every day. These attacks are not re ported unless some one Is killed or wounded. . .;' The soldier who Is called upon to perform any duty outside of a garri son is In greater peril than he was when the Filipinos moved In large bodies. Formerly when eight or 10 men were killed In a skirmish the news was cabled to America. But the cor respondent cannot keep track of the scattered assassinations of the guerril la campaign, l The news never reaches the public except through the official -reports to 1 Washington, A dozen American soldiers may be killed at a dozen remote garrisons and there may not be a line of cable news to show for a total fatality that woeta mark a serious engagement. In the aggregate these losses foot up heavily, and when the deaths from diseases are added, the total becomes alarming. On the other hand, the dally of ficial reports rldicuously overstate the Filipino losses. These are explained by the army officers, several of whom have stated that during months on the fir Ing line they had not seen a dozen reb els. They have had Innumerable brushes with them, but are unable to tell how many they had killed. Like the Indians, the Filipinos take their dead and wounded from the field. They fight altogether from ambush or en trenchments. They fire volleys from the thick cane at our troops and flee All our men can do is to fire in the general direction from which the vol leys come, and It is impracticable to make Vtnything like an accurate list of the enemies' casualties. Then each sol dler tells how many he thinks he has killed. Then the commanding officer gathers their Ideas and consolidates In to his report which he proudly forwards to his Immediate superior. The people at home, reaaing reports of this char acter almost dally, are about ready to conclude that after awhile the war In the Philippines will be over, because thpre will not much longer be any In surrectos for our men to kill. But what are the facts? Senator Tillman recently had a resolution passed in the senate asking the war department how many rebels our fore es had killed. No answer has yet been given, and probably none will be, as no nation keeps a record of Its enemy s losses. But estimates made by of ficers, high In the service and well In formed as to the Philippines say that we have not killed over 3000. These facts are not pretty, but they are war. Such service, with no hope of distinction or reward, Is very Irk some to our men and officers and some thing as near mutiny as soldiers can be guilty of Is said to be brewing In Manila. We learn that over 300 volun teer officers had, before his departure, tendered their resignations to fteneral Otis and that he had refused tm. ac cept them. General Otis held back these resignations In violation of the army regulations, as it Is mandatory upon the commanding officer in the field to forward to the president through the adjutant general of the army, all petitions from officers. Seven of these resignations at last reached Washington and the secretary of war has refused to accept them, basing his action upon the plea that the service would be demoralized officers should be allowed to ault the army, while enlisted men In their com mands are being held strictly to th terms of their enlistment for two years, except In extraordinary cases This is probably the first time on re cord when an officer's resignation has been rejected and shows that a some what critical state of affairs must pre vail in the Philippines.
