front of a yard from which were issu-
ing sounds of music. We entered at
the invitation of the owner of the
place and took seats. There was
quite a number of natives in there at
the time, both male and female, and
the company was soon swelled by the
appearance upon the scene of several
insurgent soldiers. Upon a chair,
singing to the accompaniment of a
guitar, sat an old blind beggar, who
strongly reminded me of Scott's wan
dering minstrel. We tossed a few
coins into his hat and quite won the
heart of our host, genial, whole
souled old fellow, by such action.
The blind minstrel then sang a song,
with stanzas enough to throw Gray's
elegy into the shade, the burden of
which appeared to be the disaster to
the Spanish fleet. AT the conclusion
of the song, fearing another one like
it, we arose to go, but our host
pressed us to remain and eat some
thing from his table. Sam Grant was
at first inclined not to eat at all, but
his objections We're overruled. Our
company sat down on one side and
at the ends of the table, and on the
other side were seated the two fairest
senoritas for miles around. No one
else sat down. We We're a little puz-
zled at this at first, but concluded
that it was the custom of the coun-
try. The two senoritas were not at
all like your coy, giddy American
girls: they proceeded to the work be-
fore them without any sign of en-
barrassment. and when the meal was
over lit their cigarettes and puffed
away with deep enjoyment. We
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-12-14

were not furnished with knives or
lowing the native custom. Not sue
ceeding very well in this way they
brought us spoons, and then it was
a caution to see the way the piles of
rice and chicken and hash disap-
peared. The rest of the company in
the meantime had gathered around
the table and were watching the per-
formance with a great deal of inter-
est. We did the meal full justice.
Sam Grant, the man who was SO
averse to eating victuals cooked with
native hands, was among the last to
leave the table, and the rest of us,
who had no such scruples, were also
among the last to leave the table.
We then, after kindly thanking our
host, withdrew and proceeded upon
our journey.
We had not gone very far before we
came to a place where the natives
were feasting and merry making in
honor OF some event. We refused to
eat anything more, but took a few
sips of ''vino," or native wine, merely
to crafty the caprice of our host.
Vino is a thin, colorless liquid, man.
ufactured, should Judge, from some
kind of a grain, and containing large
percentage of alcohol, very small
quantity being sufficient to produce
intoxication. l have heard upon the
very excellent authority of Rev. Pfaus
that it has a sweet and not unpleas-
ant taste, but 1 cannot speak from
direct knowledge. Mr.. Pfaus, by the
way, is the same man who informed
me of the peculiar qualities OF
"swipes" at Honolulu. We tarried

interior, hoping to gain a more ex-
tended knowledge of the Philippines
than is afforded by the cities of Ma
nila and Cavite. In the party were
Welch, Grant, Cordeiro, Shugart and
myself. We hired q native boatman
to take us across the bay to Bacoor
on the opposite side, and back again,
for the sum of a "peso Y media"
which amounts to about 75 cents in
American money. This was as well
as we could do with the Philippines
down on the beach. and we conclud-
ed these terms.
On the way across we rowed close
astern of the two Spanish cruisers,
the Isla De Luzon and the Isla de
Cuba, which repose in the muddy
waters of Manila bay like two grim
monsters of the deep. 1t was to the
latter vessel that the Spanish admi-
raj transferred after his flagship, the
Reina Christina, caught fire and her
colors We're lowered to the decks.
The superstructure of neither of these
ships appears to have been very bad
ly damaged by the fire from the
American squadron, though they are
said to be pounded full of holes below
the water line. Both of them are
now complete wrecks, having been
beached by their crews when they
saw the tide of battle going against
them, and afterward stripped of
their armament by order of Admiral
Dewey. One or two rapid-fire guns
and a couple of six-inch guns are still
left upon the battered hulks of the
ill-starred cruisers. They tell a mel

at this place only long enough to
and then started down the road at a
brisk walk, determined to reach our
barracks in time to be present at the
swimming roll call at $3.50.
We passed in a hurry through a
town about five or six miles from
BacOOr, the name of which l was un-
able to correctly ascertain. At this
place we saw several Spanish prison
ers on parole. AS rule the insurg-
ents treat their captives with the
most inhuman barbarity, but here
their prisoners are allowed a great
deal of freedom, and, judging from
their appearance, are fairly well fed.
Strangely enough, few of them ever
attempt escape, although the best oI
opportunities are thrown in their
way to make a bold dash for the
American lines, where they are as
sured OF protection and good treat

this thing was attempted by the
Spanish prisoners in Cavite. with
success, and / have heard of no in
stance in which the government has
returned the prisoners.
Some of the Spanish soldiers tell
stories of thrilling experiences and
hairbreadth escapes that would har-
row up the soul. They occurred
about the time that the natives last
took up arms against Spain. A Span
lard was then considered the lawful
prey of all whom he met: he was
hunted to the death by the natives,
