A LETTER FROM ENsIaN LANDS.

We publish the following extract
from letter received on Friday from
Ensign L. F. Lands. The letter was
dated August and arrived here on
September 9th:
The Monterey reached Manila in
safety in spite of the predictions of a
good many naval officers supposed to
know something about her sea worthy
ness. The trip was an extremely hard
and trying one. Quarters were very
much crowded and very hot. The tenn
perature was over 100 degrees in the
steerage, nearly all the time. The trip
lasted from June when we left San
Francisco until August 4th when we
anchored here. We stopped in Homo
lulu and Guam, the principal islands of
the Ladrone group. They are both
nice places and the most fertile islands
l have eyer seen. The lemons of
Guam (they grow wild in great quanti-
ties) are the finest have ever tasted.
Here we found everything waiting to
see what the army can do. We can
take manila in three hours but the
troops want chance. Thirty have
been killed and hundred wounded in
the attempt thus far. There is fight
ing every night ashore. Three more
regiments were landed this afternoon.
If the troops do not succeed in the
next four days we will lombard Ma.
Mia. The German feet here is not at
all friendly and we may yet have troub-
lie with them, but l doubt it.
The day we arrived here, 1 was
transferred by order of Admiral Dew
ey, to the Flagship Olympia where
now am. = L like my change very much
and am already in love with the shlp.''
