April 1904

April 11, the same companies ( Company F and Company G), while reconnoitering up the Taraca river, encountered a cotta
containing a number of armed Moros. Before attacking, Captain Wheeler, commanding, ordered the women and children to a place of safety.
The men of the cotta denied having guns, but professed their willingness to come out and to surrender. While giving up their kampilans and daggers,
a number of them, without warning, made a rush upon the troops and succeeded in stabbing Captain David P. Wheeler* and Corporal Percy Heyvelt,
company F. The troops at once opened fire upon the treacherous Moros, killing thirty of them.

* Died of wounds, April 13, 1904.

GENERAL ORDERS No. 5

HEADQUARTERS 22ND U.S. INFANTRY
CAMP MARAHUI, MINDANAO, P. I.
April 14th, 1904

It is the painful duty of the Regimental Commander to announce the death of an officer, Captain David Porter Wheeler, 22nd infantry,
who succumbed this date to wounds inflicted by hostile Moros at Taraca river, on Lake Lanao, April 11, 1904. Captain Wheeler
was born in Zanesville, Ohio, July 18, 1876. Appointed to the military academy, June 15, 1894. Graduated and commissioned
a second lieutenant in the 23rd infantry on April 23, 1898. Promoted first lieutenant and assigned to the 22nd infantry, March 2, 1899.
Promoted captain and assigned to the 26th infantry, January 27, 1903. Transferred to the 22nd infantry, April 7, 1903.
The regiment sustains a heavy loss by the death of this gallant officer, whose service has ever been characterized by loyalty, gallantry,
and efficiency of the highest order. He was much beloved by his comrades, and his name will always be remembered with those heroic men
of the regiment who have given their lives for their country. The flag will be placed at half mast until after the funeral
and mourning will be for thirty days.

BY ORDER OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL MAUS:
(Sgd.) J. L. DONOVAN, Captain 22nd Infantry, Acting Adjutant.

 

Corporal Percy Heyvelt was wounded along with Captain David Wheeler by the attacking Moros at the cotta along the Taraca River
on April 11, 1904. Heyvelt was born in Detroit, Michigan in August 1882. He enlisted in the Army as a Private for a period of three years
on November 9, 1900 at Detroit, Michigan. He was assigned to Company F 22nd Infantry on January 3, 1901. His enlistment record indicated
he stood 5 feet 9 ¾ inches tall, had blue eyes, medium brown hair and a dark complexion. His previous occupation was listed as Fireman.
He served with the 22nd Infantry in the Philippines and before the end of his first enlistment he was promoted to Corporal.

Heyvelt returned to the Philippines with the Regiment in November 1903 and while at sea aboard the transport U.S.A.T. Sheridan was discharged
from his first enlistment on November 8, 1903. He reenlisted in Company F the next day on November 9 as a Corporal while still aboard the
Sheridan.

Heyvelt was seriously wounded by Moros on April 11, 1904, suffering stab wounds to the posterior of his abdomen. He was brought to the
Post Hospital at Camp Marahui. On June 2 he was transferred to the hospital in Manila and eventually shipped back to the United States.
He was admitted to Letterman General Hospital at the Presidio at San Francisco, California on August 14, 1904 directly from the transport
Sheridan.
Heyvelt remained in the hospital at the Presidio until he was discharged there on November 9 for disability in the line of duty as a Corporal with
a character rating of Excellent.

 

From April 7, 1904, to the present time (November, 1904), a detail of two companies of the regiment has been kept constantly
at the mouth of the Taraca river —the sub-post named Camp Wheeler, in honor of Captain Wheeler. Service there has been most arduous.
At first, almost nightly attempts were made by Moros to rush the camp; a barbed wire fence and a chain of lanterns and lamps encircling the camp
were an absolute necessity. Small calibre bullets failed to check the rush of these fanatics; at close quarters their razor-edged kampilans
did deadly execution, even after the wielders of the weapons were riddled with bullets. In several instances rushes could not be checked
until the Moros had reached the barbed wire fence. *

* Wounded in action at Taraca, June 3, 1904: Private John C. Newport, company L.
Private Newport was boloed by a Moro, after the native had received one bullet in the arm and four in the chest.

The night attacks upon Camp Wheeler were largely due to the influence of one Omar, a priest, who claimed divine powers.
Provided with charms made by Omar, a Moro was protected from American bullets; three blades of grass specially prepared by him
and laid on the path of an American sentinel would cause the instantaneous death of the sentinel. When the charms failed to work,
Omar laid the blame on the Moro who had used them—at heart, this Moro must have been an American sympathizer.

The whereabouts of the false prophet were shrouded in mystery; but as his influence increased to an alarming extent, it became necessary
either to destroy him or to prove the falsity of his claims. Rumors finally located him in the foothills east of Delama, and accordingly,
on June 15, 1904, forces from Camp Wheeler and from Camp Marahui—companies E, F, G, 22nd infantry, and the 44th company
Philippine scouts—landed at Delama at daybreak and marched toward the supposed rendezvous of the prophet's followers.
Omar had previously boasted that, if an expedition were sent against them, he would flash his spear and cause all Americans to fall dead.

When the crest of the first foothill was reached, the advance guard was fired upon; a moment later, from a commanding ridge
five hundred yards distant, arose Mohammedan curses and shrieks of rage; a tall figure leapt from the grass and shook a spear threateningly
at the little party. As the men brought up their rifles, the tall figure vanished; the command at once began a vigorous pursuit
over the roughest of mountain trails. About two miles from the lake, Omar's rendezvous was discovered and destroyed; a few of his followers
were killed. On the return to the boats, either the prophet himself or an especially deluded follower pursued the command at a respectful distance,
and from the concealment of the forests, kept up a continuous fire on the troops. If one of Omar's followers, he at least must have remained
a believer in the efficacy of his master's charms, for frequent volleys into the trees failed to stop the fire from this one rifle.
But among other Moros, the prophet's influence was destroyed.

The expedition, and more than this, the unceasing vigilance at Camp Wheeler that frustrated all attempts to enter camp,
caused the Moros to abandon their nightly rushes.

An illustration of a Philippine Scout in 1904.

His uniform and equipment, with the exception of his weapon,
were the same as units of the U. S. Army.

He wears a Model 1883 blue campaign shirt,
khaki trousers, brown leggings and shoes,
felt campaign hat, Mills cartridge belt, with
regulation haversack and canteen.

His weapon is the Model 1890 Springfield
carbine in .45-70 caliber.

The soldiers from the 44th Company Philippine Scouts

would have looked like the soldier in this illustratioin.
