Unknown decorations

[Alex K]

Hi all, a bit of help if possible, I came across this nice image of general Rogers, referring to his decorations, I recognise all except the last 2, on the right suspended from long ribbons, can anyone enlighten me on what they are and if "awarded", what for? 

 

Thanks in advance

One with figure "8" design described as:   8th Corps Veteran Badge or {p. 92, American Society Medals, Bishop & Elliot, 2002} 8th Corps Society Medal.  Society founded in Manila after city fell to U.S. forces  in September, 1898 to commemorate Eighth Corps U.S. Army service during Spanish American War or the so-called Philippine Insurrection.  These usually do not have ribbons {when they do, a red/white/blue in vertical stripes attributed} and there appears to be an augmentation suspended from the "8" device.  This group had at least four insignia variations.   Not to be confused with Society of the Army of the Philippines insignia.

 

Cursory review of tests did not reveal identification for other award.  Given context, the other item probably represents membership in another veterans' group.
