Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Monday, March 20th, 18991. We, Americans? Since when did the cockroach become "We Americans". Most Americans (From northern states I might add, where this thing called SNOW messes with the old human being thermostat. M.), became acclimated within 2 months. The cockroach has taken 6 months and he is from eastern TEXAS, where the average temperature and humidity was kind of like central LUZON if a bit drier. 2. How much Hong Kong Tea did the cockroach drink? 3. ITALICS (AND INTENSE SARCASM). While it is true that the cockroach recognized that he had been used, by vile imperialists (The Booth-Tuckers), who had made the Salvation Army of the late 1890s a despicable thing of deceit and chicanery as they ran their huge con on the Americans, why should he complain; for if what was "done to him" was not the same exact thing that the Americans and he did to the Filipino people? 4. Referring to 3. 5. PVT Lloyd should have known his bible for 3. and 4. apply to the cockroach, too. 6. The Filipinos did not have an artillery observer balloon. =============================================================================== Diary of William R. Johnson Mrch 20th 18997. The US 22nd Infantry walked around a lot and was shot at during their road march. =============================================================================== Diary of James J. Loughrey March 20, 18998. The 1st California Flour Mill Thieves have been "acclimated" enough that they became reliable veterans. So of course, they would be asked to carry out the next stupid idea GEN Wheaton had in his feeble brain; the advance past Negros. =============================================================================== Diary of John Henry Asendorf Monday, March 20th, 18999. Back to supply runs: poor SGT Asendorf was given not quite 2 weeks to heal up. Strictly from an American point of view of course, do I sympathize at his pain. A Filipino national liberationist would have an entirely different (and justified) opinion about SGT Asendorf's woes. If Asendorf was back in his own country where he belonged, then he would not have been hacked up as an invader. 10. The Germans were making noises in east Asian waters, so USS Oregon was sent to calm them down. She had the desired effect.

Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Tuesday, March 21st, 18991. PVT. A. Scott of the 1st North Dakota Wagon Thieves popped in on the cockroach this date. Unlike his brother the shirker and scalawag, conniver and fixer, Clayton Scott, Albert appeared to have a more open honest and generous nature. He cheerfully got into trouble and cheerfully shared what he had with others. He spent a couple of months on the rockpile for backtalking an officer, but otherwise gave loyal service. He drops off the track after his return home. All in all the Philippine Islands may have been an a bad experience for him. 2. No mail and no news. GEN Hughes was illegally interrupting both as provost. 3. PVT George Schumerhorn of the 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves paid a visit. The Furniture Thieves had been stuck out on the left of the American flank on the southeastern front for long, that when they dressed-left-dressed their line for inspection they found a Katipunan soldier next to them! See MAP.  The cockroach was very busy with the rumor-mongering as usual. See next. 4. PVT James Page was a man who told the cockroach to "get bent" about 2 months ago. 5. The cockroach confirmed the USS Oregon was in the bay. See next for why he speculated that happened. 6. CAPT Morrison ran the ship, Vigilant, up on the rocks southwest of Cavite and broke her in two, the idiot. Also, he was full of bilgewater (drunk), at the time. His reports of American battleships headed for Manila Bay were... "fanciful". 7. The "fanciful alliance of France, Russia ans Germany" was in response to real trouble brewing in South Africa, where the British are trying to steal gold and diamond mines from the original Dutch settlers. =============================================================================== Diary of John Henry Asendorf Tuesday, March 21st, 18998. Asendorf is back to his regular supply runs.

7. The "fanciful alliance of France, Russia ans Germany" is in response to real trouble brewing in South Africa, where the British are trying to steal gold and diamond mines from the original Dutch settlers. This was still in the era of the Great Powers. Britain at this time was still involved in the Boer War. Amazing to think this was just 15 years before World War I. America was still in the Wild West era in the 1890s, especially in the West Coast. |

This was still in the era of the Great Powers. Britain at this time was still involved in the Boer War. Amazing to think this was just 15 years before World War I. America was still in the Wild West era in the 1890s, especially in the West Coast. Sidebar: 1. The Boer Wars (There were two of them.) were land grabs and outright thefts from tribesmen and colonial settlers in South Africa. a. The first one; December 1880- March 1881, the British lost b. The second one, October 1899-1902, the British "won". (SARCASM). The comparison to the American Wild West of the same period is apt. It turns out that the South Africans (British and Dutch) generally amounted to the same kind of scalawags, land grabbers and future slavocrats, and ersatz Unreconstructed Confederates as the (American) Texans became. Although Texas is large at 675,000 km^2, South Africa is larger at 1,220,000KM^2 Both regions were and are incredibly rich agricultural basins packed with ENORMOUS mineral wealth. And both were stolen in a series of actions that go all the way back to the Napoleonic Wars from their original inhabitants and first European colonizers. While the Texas wars (War of Independence, War of Annexation, and the Rebellion (Civil War), happened earlier, the outcomes (Native people displacements, land thefts, racist segregation, and reconciliation (not completed yet. M.) ), and Texaness of the region in the entire context of the American Southwest "acquired" from Mexico, is eerily similar to the South African history in macro-social trends as part of the whole Southern Africa competition of the Pre WWI era, that continues down to the present. You even see similar social class and economic groups violence, government corruption and various subcultures extant among the Texas "tribes". It is not a comparison Americans are comfortable making. The South Africans do not like it either. |

The South Africans do not like it either. Not to mention, Belgium was still doing horrible things in the Congo at this period. America was still in the final days of the Wild West era. This became obsolete with trains, early automobiles, and the barbed wire. Vestiges of the Wild West era continued all the way to 1929. Many would say it ended in 1912 when Arizona was admitted into the union. Others would argue WWI definitely ended that. Others would put the Great Depression as the true end of the Wild West era. EDIT: Most thumbs up comment on this video mentions about the Wild West ongoing in WWII while others say it ended in 1912. The Dead Gunslinger Corpse used as a Movie PropThe Philippines was basically a powder keg to all the Great Powers at that time. After Spain left, other Empires like Britain, Germany, and Japan had their eyes on the archipelago. |

Diary of James J. Loughrey March 22, 18991. That is about 2 month's pay, except it was in gold and "other currency". So who did the lieutenant rob? The 1st California Flour Mill Thieves were not generally known as petty looters. They stole the big stuff. ================================================================================ Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Wednesday, March 22d, 18992. Another night of jitters, so the cockroach made with the Hong Kong Tea, again. 3. The war criminal, GEN E. Otis, was a little busy explaining to Washington why his troops had burned 20% of Manila city to the ground. He had no time for twits like the cockroach. 4. Refer to 3., above. 5. With regard to the arson of the Chinese business; refer to 3 again. The Keystone Kops were not the Filipinos, who responded and hooked up a hose and delivered water to extinguish the fire as they were supposed to do. Now the Americans... 6. Somehow, after reading these diary entries, I do not believe the cockroach when he wrote that he scrambled for the spilled gold to return it to its proper owner. 7. Funny about the mention of Texas history. We would not want to dwell on Spanish land grant thefts, importation of slaves from Louisiana and Arkansas, native American massacres and cross border cattle rustling and raids for women for "wives" into Mexico, would we, Milsaps? 8. That "loud mouth" from the 3rd Artillery US, sure forgot his school of the soldier. 9. The "news" is science fiction. The important thing, though, is that the US Mail is getting through to the Katipunan! They were delivering letters. 10. The "crew" of the Indiana (Hired transport, not the US battleship. M.) had jumped ship. Of course the US authorities were indifferent. The men were "deserters". The war criminal, GEN Hughes, as provost, would find them accommodations on the rockpile. Milsaps, supposedly a missionary, geve them the worst possible advice and was a nothing burger as to be expected. 11. The Transport SS Sherman sparked something people forget. It is the first known use of RADIO at sea by US vessels or ANYBODY in that ship to shore capacity; when the news of her arrival with some returning 1st California Flour Mill Thieves veterans; was radioed by a lighthouse ship that saw the SS Sherman on approach. ================================================================================ Diary of John Henry Asendorf Wednesday, March 22nd, 189912. The Katipunan are after the waterworks again.

Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Thursday, March 23, 18991. That is about 1 regiment with support troops. 2. The cockroach was eager to snap up and record any rumor. He never verified anything, so about 3/4 of his reports we know today to be utter nonsense. 3. Well; so the state department was boarding the deserters at the outrageous expense of $4 / day / deserter? C'est la taxpayer's money down the old flusher. 4. PVT Bertrand of the 1st South Dakota Baseball Players handed over $3.75 to our least favorite chicane and embezzler. 5. We still have that History of Texas by Anonymous.6. The cockroach bummed another meal off the Owens, as usual. ... stolen from US army stores. 7. The war criminal, GEN E. Otis, if this followed the trends of American army staffwork, never saw the cockroach's letter of application. Instead, it would be handed over to the the first available staffer, where the yay or nay was issued as a routine signature over an order blank after a corporal clerk filled in the name. Kind of how Custer made general during the American Civil War. Some dumb major signed an order blank with the wrong name. And Pleasanton found himself with a yahoo brigadier of volunteers in charge of the Michigan cavalry brigades. It did not go over well when Meade found out about it, but by then the damage was done and Custer was a newspaper hero for the mess he made at Hanover. 8. My oh my, how the cockroach can lie! ================================================================================ Diary of John Henry Asendorf Thursday, March 23rd, 18999. The 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits are in 1/3 rotation. 10. Coranates I take to be a form of open top four wheeled funeral carriage bedecked with flowers, holding a casket and occasionally carrying mourners who rode with the coffin. 11. The Provost has about 3,000 Katipunan prisoners in his concentration camp. Conditions are overcrowded and appalling with diseases that ran rampant. One more war-crime to add to the arsons, pillages, murders, lootings and general mayhem caused by US 8th Corps. All documented by the US Army Medical Corps which protested the situation.

Diary of William R. Johnson Mrch 24th 18991. The 22nd US Infantry rotated into the line and took over the 1st Montana Bushwhackers trenches. The Bushwhackers slid to the right. ================================================================================ Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Friday, March 24th, 18992. The rumor mill is grinding away at the cheese. The attack on Malolos was scheduled to launch this date. That the cockroach has so much detail is alarming from the operations security point of view. 3. Three days is a bit optimistic. 4. Another night of cold sweats for the cockroach. 5. Italics: PVT George Berry was conned into making the Salvation Army his death beneficiary. This one action has pushed, for me, the cockroach over into villain territory. I knew he was despicable before, but this was and is pure EVIL. What about Berry's family and loved ones? 6. PVT. Palmer, a flunky, had to pay for the privilege to do the cockroach's work? Unbelievable.7. London Salvation Army politics was a part of this diary entry. Basically the London regime is trying to find out what the cockroach is doing in "their" mission territory, but in fact, these con men have just gotten word that the Americans have evangelized the Filipinos. The letter the cockroach wrote was his alibi. 8. Brother Prautch and wife and the Owens are evangelizing the Filipinos. See 7. 9. The USS Newport fought in the Caribbean. What is a crewman of it doing in Manila?
================================================================================ Diary of John Henry Asendorf Friday, March 24th, 189910. So now we know who traveled aboard the SS Sherman. The 12th and 17th US Infantry. Of those troops, the 12th were the "Hombres muy duros". They took the Spanish colors at El Caney. I want you to note who commanded at El Caney. That bungled action still required some deft generalship by Henry Lawton to sort the mess out.

Diary of Chriss A. Bell March 25, 18991. The 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves were royally chopped up. Note the quality of the men and how stupidly they were wasted? The Battle of Malabon began this date. (See PHOTO.)  2. See MAPs.   As you can see; the Americans have butted up against a river and are hung up until they bridge it.=============================================================================== Diary of Chriss A. Bell March 26, 18992. Once again, MacArthur is showing some generalship while Wheaton screws up with the Furniture Thieves in a frontal attack. He, MacArthur, has the railroad on his right and he is using it. ================================================================================ Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Saturday, March 25th, 18993. The cockroach dumped his dirty dishes on his Filipino hired boy. 4. Someone should have shot him for boarding a troop train without permission. 5. Someone should have shot all three of them for interfering with a military operation in progress. Leave it to the cockroach to also desecrate the dead. 6. PVT Thompson, one of the cockroach's flunkies, found out what happened to imperialist colonizers on many occasions. 7. That note: I do not suppose the cockroach could be bothered to gather his companions together and MOVE the Filipino man to safety away from the arson happy Americans running around setting fires to huts and shooting refugees? You can imagine how much use that note was. Even if the wounded Filipino man was not shot again, and he received proper medical care as American law required, his chances of winding up in the war criminal's, GEN Hughe's, concentration camp, was fairly high. 8. The cockroach bummed a ride on an army ambulance. What the expletive deleted! Refer to 7. and 13. . 9. Safely tucked WELL TO THE REAR among MacArthur's field trains; (All those stolen Filipino carriages pulled by stolen Filipino livestock and teamstered by hired Chinese-Filipinos. M.), was our cockroach who bummed a meal off the two American guards who oversaw that supply column. Expletive deleted. 10. Father McKinnon of the 1st California Flour Mill Thieves was reassigned to the 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves. I have no idea of why he is over with the 22nd. He must have become lost. Of course this was the same man who advised the cockroach to go away back in October 1898. 11. Mister Peters words were not "kind". 12. PVT Kuester with a hole in his leg told the cockroach to go to "expletive deleted" and find something to preach at. I mean you read this nonsense account and you wonder that some AMERICAN did not blow the cockroach's brains out. 13. PVT Temple of the ambulance that the cockroach bummed a ride upon, is still parked right where the cockroach left him. You get a distinct feel as you read the cockroach's diary of these people; about the kinds of weaklings, never-do-wells, idiots and poltroons who either gravitate toward the cockroach, follow the cockroach or associate with him as part of his flunky platoon. Again and again; we see that most of these imbeciles are not self-starters, men who can think and do, or who seize initiative. The lot of them are beta-men. Useless. 14. MacArthur's engineers, as I remarked earlier, had to bridge a river. So what was an alleged engineer, PVT Shipper, doing as a teamster, driving around the rear, distributing Salvation Army War Cries? Why was he not at the Tullajan throwing across that trestle bridge with the Washington Tobacco Thieves and the others? Refer to 7. and 13. and add "bullet fever". Of course the cockroach bummed a ride. Like unto like is the saying. 15. Notice that neither PVT Shipper, nor the cockroach had the decency to attend to PVT Thompson, to put his body where the carrion feeders would not get at the corpse, bury the man or even mumble words over him and cover him with a sheet. Refer to 7. and 13. and 14. and add scum of the earth to the list. (SCOTE. M.). 16. PVT George Schurmerhorn was a messenger runner. That job was given to someone not considered totally useless in a fight, but not considered able to take on that burden either. It was the kind of job you would give to this kind of man. *See PHOTO.  Hitler (seated on right) and fellow soldiers during World War I. The dog had the name Fuchsl and was actually Hitler’s pet during the war until it was over. A man who was a beta and who could follow instructions, but was not what we would call self-actuated. M.17. After preaching at the one "quality" man of his entourage and making a nuisance of himself at the field dressing station at the head of the railroad line, our cockroach hopped another troop train back to Manila, again without being challenged (or shot.), and he finished his sightseeing trip. 18. (^^^) This is what concerned the cockroach. Cards. Not an ounce of genuine human compassion for human beings in pain, or respect for the honored dead, or the common sense to know what an effrontery he was to honest women and men was our cockroach; or the intelligence to understand that what he wrote, gives us today a very good gauge as to how EVIL this conquest was, the diabolical natures of the fiends involved, or the moral worthlessness of such men as himself? 19. What was the shirker, looter, and crook, PVT Clayton Scott up to? He was stealing more Filipino carriages and draft animals and "supplies" to be sent up north; allegedly. That REMF was having a jolly time away from the line. Like unto like. 20. Tally of the dead. EXPLETIVE DELETED! =============================================================================== Diary of William R. Johnson Mrch 25th 189921. The Mormons were able to do a lot more than Johnson gives them credit. They blasted Luna's middle brigade out of their trenches and gave cover fire while MacArthur's bridgebuilders threw a span across the Tullajan. =============================================================================== Diary of John Henry Asendorf Saturday, March 25th, 189922. I had to edit the entry because Asendorf used racist unseemly and reprehensible language. Just as some of the American soldiers performed incredibly, the Filipino soldiers performed heroically, but they were overmatched by firepower, technology and combat veterans' skill. You should not demean such men who fought for their homeland, ever. They were and are patriots.

Diary of Alfred Burton Welch March 26-991. You wanted to know what happened to Albert Welch. He explained that he heat stroked out. 2. The 1st Washington Tobacco Thieves marched in a huge semicircle from Marcati north, north by east, to the right of the line just north of the Manila waterworks. 3. GEN Wheaton screwed that movement up. And on the Filipino side, GEN Ricarti screwed up his attempts to interrupt that movement. Hey, if you have no cavalry, that hurts. M. ================================================================================ Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Sunday, Mar. 26th, 18994. The weather has sapped out the cockroach. 5. The prison visit, which the cockroach had arranged, turned into a debacle. This was probably not what Milsaps expected, because the last time he wrote that he had 25 positive army respondents who claimed thewy wanted him to hold the service again.. Most of them this time (By now a full platoon's worth were guests on the rockpile. M.), told him to go lose himself. Instead of those guys, he got 25 sailors and con-men and blaggards, some of them, who he knew personally. but also who the Provosts caught. They responded and turned to as ersatz substitutes. To show how committed these replacements to the cockroach's religious service were, when the dinner bell rang they bolted.  6. The Provost sergeant glad-handed the cockroach out. 7. Mail Call: a. More Salvation Army money to be embezzled. b. Canadian War Crys are now being paper-boyed to the Philippine Islands through Milsaps as the distributor. c. PVT Bertrand needed a pass signed so he could paper-boy for the cockroach. d. Evans sent a letter stating that he received his War Cry's. e. Lt-Col. Alice Lewis, New York; ratted the cockroach out to the Booth-Tucker Cabal. At this time the Salvation Army was split down the middle and the AMERICANS had told the Booth-Tuckers to "get bent". The cockroach was caught in the political crossfire. 8. The Americans won that round; refer to 7e. 9. See MAP and ask yourself why Paranaque was subjected to naval gunfire?  Can you say that someone, Filipino National Liberationist (GEN Luna), knew what he was doing? The Americans had to do something desperate. 10. Prince Ludwig of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg turned in a typical German noble's performance. 11. There is something that you should know about that wretch. The 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves shot at him. They knew where he was and they shot at him. They killed him. I* will let you decide why and how the Furniture Thieves arranged that accident; but it could not possibly be because he was an "agent of the Kaiser" conspiring with Emilio Aguinaldo. 12. See next; for what happened to COL Egbert, who was too contemptuous of Filipino marksmanship. ================================================================================ Diary of William R. Johnson Mch 26th 189913. Yup. COL Egbert thought he was Lewis Armistead and he personally led the storm party to take the hilltop redoubt. What kind of result was thst? It was a Chapultepec success. But Egbert did not make it. =============================================================================== Diary of John Henry Asendorf Sunday, March 26th, 189914. Asendorf resorted to a racist epithet again. The railroad embankment north of Caloocan, was the 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits primary objective. Did you think they would attack anything or anywhere else? The 2nd South Dakota Baseball Players screwed up their flanking movement. The Pennsylvanians stormed the embankment and took it, when the Katipunan ran out of ammunition. It was a bayonet charge. 15. The Americans were busy looting Caloocan and chicken-thieving after the battle. This indicates to me, that if I was McKinley, I would be sending out my best hatchet man to fire the idiots in charge of US 8th Corps. That was how bad the situation was this date.

Diary of Alfred Burton Welch March 27-991. See MAP.  2. From the Welch diary entry we see immediately how GEN Wheaton has scattered and confused the deployment of 1st Brigade. The best evicvence of this fact is how scattered the 1st Washington Tobacco Thieves were with about 18 kilometers distance between the two separate elements. There are holes in the front with both sides totally confused as to who did what, when and where at this date. You only have 8 American regiments and the equivalent of about 14 Filipino regiments scattered over a frontage of over 50 kilometers that wraps around Manila from Laguna da Bay to just south of Malolos. 3. "Ducks" are prisoners of war, that is captured Filipino patriots. 4. "Mess fund" is "bounty" or bonus paid per prisoner. ====================================================== Diary of Chriss A. Bell March 27, 18995. Having shot and killed Prince Helmuth, the Kaiser's man, in a "whoops", the 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves spent the next 24 hours pushing against stiff Katipunan resistance. 6. Bell's chess game improved. The 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves unit discipline had not. Eight company punishments out of 90 on the roster is 8% put in the guardhouse for disobedience to orders. The ringleader (Coyne, we have seen this troublemaker before. M.), should have been sent to the rockpile. ====================================================== Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Monday, Mar. 27th, 18997. The cockroach was busy sightseeing today. You will note from this diary entry that he was hustled along by people who were not about to put up with his expletive deleted nonsense.8. Tambabonmg was burned to the ground. Hard to accept that it was the Katipunan who burned it. Usually when Milsaps claimed it was the Filipinos, it turns out it was the Americans who set huts on fire and shot whatever or whoever fled the flames. 9. The fighting this day was inside the fish farms between the towns of Caloocan and Malabon. See PHOTO.   Malabon River. 10. The 4th US burned the hospital. 11. Captain Andrews was of the 1st Minnesota Cheese Thieves; the nimrod was supposed to be providing rear area security in an active warzone and he wanted to hold a church service with all of his men gathered in one place. Think about the court martial that should have resulted from that stupidity. 12. The cockroach and Reverend Owens (Who showed very poor judgement. M.), bummed a ride on an army supply wagon back to Manila. 13. Someone put the word out on our train-hopping cockroach. He was told to go "expletive delete" himself. No train ride today! ====================================================== Diary of William R. Johnson Mch 27th 189914. The 22nd US had the same kind of day the 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves had. they dribbled dead and wounded all day long. ====================================================== Diary of John Henry Asendorf Monday, March 27th, 189915. The 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits were chopped up, so they pulled back and the 1st South Dakota Baseball Players had a go. They were chopped up. US 3rd Artillery had to be brought up in direct support. (Where were the Mormons?), and you will notice that Asendorf does not call the Filipino soldiers by that scurrilous racist term this diary entry?

Diary of Alfred Burton Welch March 28-991. Do I really have to explain this one? Not only were the 1st Washington Tobacco Thieves now known to the Filipinos to be murderous cutthroats, but they were enthusiastic "treasure hunters" pawing through the ashes, robbing the dead, and conducting themselves like Cossacks. ================================================================================ Diary of Chriss A. Bell March 28, 1899 2. The 2nd Oregon Furniture Thieves did not find much furniture to steal, so they had to be satisfied with tawdry small stuff like silver, family heirlooms and so forth. Malabon was sacked. 3. It was in direct violation of General Orders 100.4. See MAP.  =============================================================================== Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Tuesday, March 28th, 18995. As previously mentioned, Malabon was sacked, which involved pillage, murder, mayhem, arson and looting. 6. Though he has no empathy or charity the bolded words indicate that Milsaps knew full and guilty well what happened to the Filipinos of Malabon. 7. In Manila, those explosions were the beginning of an answer to American instigated terrorism. 8. Captain Crow, you remember, ran his ship aground? 9. Not just cockroaches were banned from the front. It turns out the war criminal, GEN E. Otis, and the other generals in US 8th Corps, and in the Provost of Manila, did not like having the reporters poking around, filing stories back to the United States about what was happening. Looting, murder, arson, and a military campaign that was in utter chaos and confusion: were not what the generals wanted the folks back home to read. Just like happened in VIETNAM and or IRAQ. 10. PVT George Schumerhorn, either had leave in rotation or he shirked his duty as a Furniture Thief. I have been unable to determine which. 11. Henry Ludwig Lowenstein Wertheim Freudenberg) of Bavaria, Germany, was a Darwin Award winner. He combined spy, double-crosser, and nitwit in a single package, thereby Zankowskying himself. 12. Capt V.R. Post, was an agent disburser of the Salvation Army San Francisco chapter. His rank was "meaningless". 13. Italics> a. No-one has worked harder to poison the Filipino mind against the Salvation Army than the cockroach. b. It matters not who the Salvation Army of 1899 sends. They are all of the same corrupt cloth, with the BRITISH actually being worse than the Americans, as witness the poor woman working for them in Hong Kong, who they let DIE, it being Milsaps, of all people, who tried to aid her financially!
c. The Booth-Tuckers cabal will ignore the letter.
14. Schumerhorn must have been on a day-pass but again I cannot confirm it. 15. His niece, Miss Eva Milsaps, lived among the Native Americans? Why? 16 . Still cannot read Spanish, can our cockroach, and yet another Spanish barber fails to improve the cockroach's character. Expletive deleted. 17. More money embezzled from the Salvation Army. ===================================================== The 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits behaved, just like the Tobacco Thieves and Furniture Thieves, badly. Diary of John Henry Asendorf Tuesday, March 28th, 189918. Translation and truth: Sgt Asendorf, with his three companions standing outside, went into what he thought was an abandoned Filipino home to loot it. The owner, a woman, defended her property as best as she could against men with guns. She had a knife. Asendorf, being stupid, left his rifle outside the hut. He, therefore, brained her with a convenient chair he found and laid her out. Then three Filipino men, who heard the ruckus, arrived and came to the woman's defense and rescue and the four Americans robbers and bandits fought them. The three Filipino men, overmatched, ran, and the Americans gave chase after them, and then shot two of the Filipino men in the back. THAT is what happened. Truth is truth. One more occasion where I am ashamed of my countrymen. M.

The cockroach.. Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Wednesday, March 29th, 1899. 1. Not at the front, the cockroach does not seem to have learned about southwest Pacific weather. 2. PVT David Freeman of the 1st Montana Bushwhackers has a big mouth. Also his picture of the fighting is inaccurate. 3. Ordered in by the doctor, was PVT Freeman? Why? Heatstroke.Obviously heat stroke or PVT Freeman would be in a hospital instead of visiting the cockroach. I believe PVT Freeman suffered from bullet fever. M.4. PVT Freeman said he gave the money to Hines to give to the cockroach? Maybe or maybe not? 5. The war criminal, GEN E. Otis, was not wrong. It was the inferior ammunition and bullet propellant that was the difference in shooting accuracy, as we have previously discussed, as well as the poor quality of the Hong Kong rifles supplied to the Katipunan by BRITISH smugglers from China. I point out, with some sarcasm, that the AMERICAN gunrunners provided the better rifles and ammunition to Aguinaldo. 6. The lemonade was of more use to PVT Freeman than a cockroach sermon. 7. The Mormon told the cockroach to "get bent". 8. The soldier from the 22nd US Infantry was "polite". 9. The cockroach went to the 1st Tennessee Photgraphy Studio Thieves run picture gallery to get his photos. I suppose it did not occur to the cockroach that the proprietors were off to the battlefield burning and looting at the moment? 10. I am surprised that the Filipina seamstress did not sew up the cockroach. If his clothes were poorly mended; it is not because Filipinas do not know how to sew. See PHOTO.  It was because the cockroach did not deserve "good work". 11. Roll on the floor laugh my attitude off! ============================================================================ Diary of Alfred Burton Welch March 29-9912. That was our good old 1st Washington Tobacco Thieves at work. Instant urban renewal courtesy of Mister Lucifer. (See PHOTO).  ============================================================================ Diary of Chriss A. Bell March 29, 189914. Antonio Montenegro was one of the original Ilustrados and Katipunan revolutionaries who went into exile with Aguinaldo. 15. More on Antonio Montenegro. ============================================================================ Diary of William R. Johnson Mch 29th 189916. The 22nd US Infantry was too slow. They should have left the locomotive chasing to the 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits. Speaking of which... ============================================================================ Diary of John Henry Asendorf Wednesday, March 29th, 189917. The 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits followed the railroad line east of Malolos and stalled at the Tullajan. Aguinaldo escaped. |

Diary of Alfred Burton Welch March 30-991. See MAP.  2. I seriously question the desecration of a convent. Hearts and minds, you know? ===================================================== Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Thursday, March 30th, 18993. 4. Obviously that is not what the cockroach read. 5. What had the cockroach bummed off the Mrs Owens? Army Beef. 6. PVT Devine, as figured, had malaria. 7. The cockroach conned money out of PVT Devine. 8. Milsaps started another zero file article for the San Francisico Salvation Army Chapter War Cry. 9. This was propaganda pure and simple. Made up nonsense by US 8th Corps commanders to justify their own ordered atrocities and violations of the Lieber Code. 10. You know something? There is ordinary stupid and then there is blindingly empathyless ignorant bigotted stupid. The expletive deleted cockroach watched a religious people of faith peacefully practice their culture in the midst of a war, where foreign devils burned down their homes, stole their goods and nation, murdered them indiscriminantly, dishonored their sacred places, while committing these crimes and yet the cockroach of all people, does not ses the forgiving heart of such a people? Right in front of him, he sees the proof of the LIE put forth in American newspapers, by tghe war criminal, GEN E. Otis; about what the Katipunan and the Filipino people intend. ====================================================== Diary of James J. Loughrey March 30, 189911. 1/3 of the attacking troops. That is astonishingly high. That is not poor marksmanship. That is defective ordnance. ====================================================== Diary of John Henry Asendorf Thursday, March 30th, 189912. To quote an Unreconstructed Confederate of Thomas Jackson's Stonewall Brigade, after he was taken prisoner in the Shenandoah Valley campaign in one of those rare occasions when the Union infantry actually was able to catch any of "Stonewall" Jacksons light burdened infantry: "We'uns is racehorses; you'uns is pack mules." American soldiers tend to ditch anything they do not think will aid them in a fight. In the bolded item above, the weather and experience taught them them to get rid of stuff that made them slow and obvious targets and overheat. You can see some mistakes. Pistols were useful when a bolo man tried to give an American soldier a haircut at the neck up. Getting rid of a Mauser was stupid since it shot better than a Krag and there was a huge magazine in the Intramuros stuffed with a lot of Spanish 7mm bullets. The Remington Rolling Block was of course a non useful item since the Americans did not have ammunition and did not make Spanish 0.43 bullets, anymore. Still there was some ammunition and there were Filipino Constabulary who were unarmed at this date.

Diary of Alfred Burton Welch March 31-991. It has been a while since we last saw the mention of the USS Laguna da Bay. 2. See MAP. Also read why the Americans landed there. One word... sugar.  3. The 1st Washington Tobacco Thieves continued to loot and burn. ============================================================================== And now the cockroach. He makes my eyes bleed when I read his despicable scribbles. Diary of John E.T. Milsaps Friday, March 31st, 18992. Religious holidays are important writes the Salvation Army con man who has so little regard for human lives of people he considers inferior to himself. 3. That same War Crys article, the cockroach has been working on for the past two days: why did the cockroach dither? It was not writer's cramp, it was he had seen nothing and thus had nothing to write about the actual fighting, not even his usual lies. 4. Translation: PVT Devine had an attack of bullet fever and hid out. The Mormon turned back in issues of the non-destributed War Cries and demanded HIS share of the profits of those that he sold at the front. 5. Weather as usual was hot and squally whbich helped in putting out the fires in Malolos. 6. Captured at 10:15, rather the Americans were trying to put the fires out. 7. McDuffie was not killed. Notice that the cockroach no longer tries to hop onto troop trains? 8. Major Owens, USA Medical corps if you remember from the last time the cockroach visited the second general hospital; told the cockroach to go expletive delete himself and quit bothering his hospital patients. 9. Third officer Richards actually asked the cockroach why he, Milsaps, was not in the hot region wearing a union suit, yet. 10. As usual the cockroach wasted his time bothering people. 11. Exodus, Ephesians & Philippians, 7. And speaking of false rejoicing, the cockroach was doped up again on Hong Kong Tea. 8. More fighting at the Waterworks. That area still has not been cleared of GEN Ricarti's men? 9. The Unreconstructed Confederate, who is John Milsaps, showed up. He almost writes with joyful glee about the "nicknames", which were scurrilous dehumanizing and racist labels. I particularly loathe the favorite Unreconstructed Confederate term for African American. ================================================================================ Diary of James J. Loughrey March 31, 189910. Where are the 1st California Flour Mill Thieves? See MAP.  ================================================================================= A new voice is added. Marrion Wilcox. (Not Marion as is misspelled here.) Diary of the Revolt Friday, March 31, 189911. General MacArthur executed the old Lakota tactic of the Horns of the Bison, but was too slow. The Katipunan escaped behind the fires they set that slowed the Americans up. 12. See CHART for how the Horns of the Bison was supposed to work.  ================================================================================ Diary of John Henry Asendorf Friday, March 31st, 189913. 0The 1st Nebraska Cornshuckers and the 2nd South Dakota Baseball Players were hung up until the Mormons showed up and shelled the town. Then the Filipino National Liberationists set the fires to cover their retreat and MacArthur's attempted encirclement failed. As was reported by Mister Wilcox, the two regiments suffered 1 killed and 32 wounded. That was not quite true. It cost more than the 8 American lives and more than 100 wounded that was "officially" reported. The 10th Pennsylvania Train Bandits were busy being chicken plucking thieves. Asendorf, being a teamster with the wagon train, arrived in the afternoon. By then the fires were mostly out and the Train Bandits sat down to enjoy their loot.
