He says that Company F has been

house in which his company is quar-
tered as follows: cit is one of the
prettiest places I ever saw. We have
six rooms, with kitchen and bath tub
and shower bath. We have been is
sued hammocks and these we have
hung under the house, where it is
nice and cool. The ground underneath
the house is covered with tiled floor.
The place is surrounded by an iron
fence ten feet high, which is covered
with a mat of running vines and flow
ers. The yard is full of flowers and
cocoanut palms and banana trees. So
you see we have a little paradise all
to ourselves. We have three little
monkeys. And talk about your fun.

You would hurt yourself laughing to
see them pick lice out of each other
and eat them. They run around In
the trees as thick as birds in America,
and the natives catch them and sell
them at so cents apiece"
Mr.. Haw thus describes the process
of making bread in the Spanish
bakery: 81 was on guard at the
Spanish bakery last Wednesday.
They have seventeen men there bak-
ing nothing but bread. They were all
stripped down to just a pair of trous-
ers, with the sweat dripping off from
them like rain. They would throw q
lot of dough into loaves and put it
into the oven without even letting it
rise. The oven holds about 1000
loaves, and when the bread is done
they throw it up in the corner like q
big pile of wood. You can talk about
bareback being hard, but if it's not
softer than that bread, I'll eat my
shirt
In another place Mr.. Haw says:
"One of the Colorado boys was stand
ing near their quarters Friday even
ing, when a native came out on the
beach to wash. He raised his gun to
shoulder and said to one of the boys:
Wouldn't that make a fine shot?" and
pulled the trigger. His gun happened
to be loaded and he killed the fellow
as dead as door nail. That is what
started them and we have had two OF
our boys killed since-just from one
man making a darned fool of himself. -
