Description

In the rear of the Quartel picturesquely encamped in the forest were the 400 Philippine Scouts, officered by regular army men. These men formed a part of the United States regular army, commanded by Major William H. Johnston. Included was a band of 45 natives. The Scouts had daily guard mounts, parades and regular drills prescribed by army regulations. Among these Scouts was one company of Macabebes, who were the best soldiers and most loyal subjects in the Islands.
