A telegram was raceived from Captain Nathorst, who was to have accompanied me on my trip from Vigan and who was at that place purchasing necessary food and a camp outfit, stating that he had been requested frat to furnish fifty Igorrote constabulary for service in Batangas or Samar, and that he desires to go with them, as he did not know how they would behave under a strange officer.

I wired to Colonel Baker the Acting Chief of the Constabulary, quoting Nathorst’s telegram and stating that the arrangement therein suggested would be satisfactory to me [illegible] was needed elsewhere.
