"The wall of fire. Part of the firing line near Pasig, March 15,
1899. It represents volley-firing in clock-like order at the
insurgent intrenchments. The picture was taken just before the
general advance."
|
"This shows effect of first smokeless powder used by Americans
in the Philippines. The guns are the old Springfield model.
Photograph taken during heat of the action at Pasig.
In this instance it is long distance firing."

"Chinese litter bearers, accompanying troops during their advance
on Malolos. Their great endurance of hardship and swiftness
of foot in carrying heavy burdens were found to be of valuable
service to the medical department."
|
"Wounded insurgents awaiting removal to the American hospital in
Manila, where they are accorded treatment. Most of these
were so badly wounded that they died before they could be romved.
Those that were treated became fast friends."

"A field telegraph station in one of the churches of Caloocan. It is
set up on the altar with the wires strung upon the tabernacle."
|
"The hero of Spain and America is not so beloved by the
Tagals. Before deserting this town they shot off the head of the
statue of Columbus."
