To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Were they to remain planning some abominable treachery that he was to communicate to the enemy? Well might this be so. I proceeded to institute proper inquiries, because in more than one way the offense was serious, and I had to take pre- cautions. I found out that they had decided only to go over to the Tagalogs, each taking his rifle, two knapsacks, and the cartridge-box from his equipments, filled with ammunition; that they had no accomplices; and that it had all been spoiled by the irresolu...tion of Menache. The last was evident; the want of accomplices probable; the rest is not very clear. I persisted in my inquiries, but could find them guilty only of other acts which were serious enougli, but yet foreign to their military obligations. There was no other course but to make sure of them by placing them at once in close con- finement. In the situation in which I found myself I could legally have ordered them shot summarily, since, after all, the circumstances seemed to demand it, in order to prevent great- er evils; but I did not wish to do so.
