hospitality yery mujh indeed. The

White.
In the absence of Editor Welch on '
account of the "honey moon" that is j
supposed to be the inevitable lot of
even the mightiest of mortals, Philip
A.Bennett is essaying to fill theeditor-
ial shoes that he finds too big by far.
We, therefore, ask the indulgence of
our readers for all the short comings
of this issue, believing that with a
•'better half" to aid and comfort him,
our friend Welch will in the future
more than make up for all the deficiencies of this week.
New Series:'Vol. 8.'No. 19.
The rather sad death of Mr. Wm.
Robinson occurred Wednesday night.
He was a young man only twenty-five
years of age. For "some time he had
been troubled with inflammation of
the lungs, and had so far recovered
as to be out last Sunday, but falliner
in some water, received such a shock
that congestion of the brain resulted
and this ended in death. For the last
six or seven years the deceased had
been tbe main support of his widowed
mother and a large family and the
heroic way in which he had ministered
to their wants showed how much of
true manhood there was in him. The
funeral occurs today at two o'clock.
PHILIPPINE LETTER.
Another Interesting Letter About
the War.
Waic, Cavite Province, P. 1.
Fkibnd Welch—While haying a
day's rest I thought 1 would give you
a brief sketch of our trip and tell you
something of what a soldier's life is
in the Philippines.
We lift Presidio, Gal., November 16,
with five companies on board the
Senator and the rest of our regiment
on the Benmoh.* We arrived at Honolulu, November 23 and after a stop
over of four days we again continued
the voyage eastward, arriving at
Manila, December 22 without 'having
had a single death during the voyage.
We proceeded to Oaloocsta and there
.did tort duty until January 2, 1900
when we were ordered to action on
the south tiring line!
"We broke camp and the Forty fifth
regiment started on its campaign,
brigaded with the Twenty-.eigb.th,
Thirty-eighth, and Forty-six regiments under General Wheaton. We
found the rebels s intrenched near
Imus, sixteen Miles south of Manila,
In a sharp flight we routed the enemy
and drove them before us all day, |
shots being exchange every few moments. On reaching Dos Marenis the
rebels disbanded and fled to the
mountains. In this ^engagement ourj
forces lost" one* lieutenant, four
privates and twenty-seven wounded.
Our regiment then took the trail west
and, after capturi,*}^ four towns without any resistance, arrived here at
Noic three weeks ago.
Noic is fifty milssldown the south
shore from Manila and is a hustling
burg of six thousands inhabitants.
Two weeks ago.a batallidn in which
I was enrolled -and; two troops of the
eleventh cavalry were sent out on a
seventy mile march to the mountains,
returning last night. One of our
men was wounded and we killed three
insurgents that we are sure of and
without doubt many more of which we
know nothing. In the dense under
growth bodies are not easily found.
The wounded often escape by crawling
away and biding.
This is a very peculiar country and
the nati ves are still more pecul iar while
their habits are stranger still. Their
houses are built of bamboo and grass
with the roof about three feet from
the ground. Tbe people never wear
shoes and seldom hats. Their religion
is the catholic and they are very sincere in their beliefs. I never saw such
fine churches even in America as I see
here where beautifully polished mahogany and ebony finds a prominent
place in every important church edifice.
Next to religion the cock-fight has a
very important place in the life of the
average native. These fights take
place on Sunday after mass and there
is considerable betting in connection
with the fights.
They raise sugar-cane, rice, corn,
potatoes and work the land with a
Coban which is something like an ox.
Their plough is a very odd machine.
Being a soldier here is far different
to what it is in United States. You
can at any time of night hear the outposts firing but it is an old thing now.
Wo do not mind it all. We fare reasonably well, for we help ourselves to
some of the good things of the country
although we have strict orders against
taking anything. We stopped at a
village the other day and one of the
boys seeing a chicken started to catch
it. The chase brought him by where
the officers weie eating. The Colonel
yelled, "What in h—1 are you doinutf'j
Tbe man yelled back, "Drawing rations, Colonel," and kept up the chase.
There is a rumor that we are to be
mustered out in a few months. It is
said that the thirty-fourth and thirty-
fifth are in Manila being mustered out
and that each man that re-enlists is
given $450 and a thirty days furlough
and that many are re-enlisting.
Tbe weather is very fine now but the
rainy season sets in soon. This is a
compartively healty country. Frank
and I are both in excellent health and
spirits and have no fears of not returning in safetv.
With kind regards to all I am,
Yours respectfully,
Pratt, Welch.
