[8] One seems to get the stoicism better in the original, somehow, so I give the body of the original Spanish, as it came to me:
En el distrito de Motiong, municipio de Wright, provincia de Samar, Islas Filipinas, a primero de septiembre de mil novecientos quatro. Ante mi Peregrin Albano, consejal del mismo, y presente el Presidente de Sanidad Municipal, D. Tomas San Pablo y principales del mismo se procedio al enterramiento de los cadaveres victimas de los Pulajans en el sementerio de esta localidad el oficial de voluntarios, Rafael Rosales y otros voluntarios, Gualberto Gabane, Juan Pacle, Dionisio Daisno, Pedro Damtanan, Carmelo Lagbo, y particulares Eustaquia Sapiten y Apolinaria N: con otro tanto Pulajan desconocido; en conformidad de la carta oficial de la presidencia municipal de Wright de fecha de hoy registrada con el numero 136.
Del citado enteramiento ha sido asistido por el Reverendo Padre Marcos Gomez y acompanado por toda la fuerza voluntaria del mismo por la muerte del oficial Rosales.

[11] Even if the municipal police had been like Cæsar’s wife, they were like chaff before the wind in a Pulajan foray, though they were somewhat better if well led by some prominent and forceful man of the community in an expedition after Pulajans.
[12] A disease of a dropsical variety, usually attacking the legs first, which easily becomes epidemic. It had been the cause of many of the 120 deaths in the Albay jail during the Ola insurrection. Ideal conditions for it are a steady diet of poor rice and lack of exercise.
[13] It was not well to be too hasty. You might have the head of the whole uprising in custody, or one of his most important lieutenants, and find it out by the merest accident in the course of hearing a case against some apparently abject “private of the rear rank.”
[14] By unwarranted I mean without warrant. Nobody bothered much with warrants. The times were too strenuous.
