To return home. In n short time
MIR. Walker was alarmed on discov.

feet to become greatly swollen. They
became greatly enlarged and gave him
very much pam. IL was matter of
only few days until that dreadful
disease, gangrene, set in. HIS con

sleeps on from year to year. It is very
wrong to kill and terrorize people as
was recently done in North Carolina,
but it is q matter of self preservation
with these people and until something
is done to remove this menace to good
government we will witness this strug-
gle Of the strong intellect to protect its
possessor from the effect of these con-
ditions. It, is brutal but it is self
preservation. We have recently, as q
result Of war, acquired larger popu-
lation of very ignorant people-people
who only recognize the law of might
and have very crude ideas OF Justice
people, who for centuries have en-
dured gross injustice and wrong. It
is not possible for these people to dis
charge the duties of American citizen
ship, in their present condition of
ignorance. The writer would annex
every possible foot Of Spanish terri
tory because the people living within
the bounds of such territory will be
greatly benefited by annexation. But
shall we pass the ballot to these people
Unfortunately? A thousand noes!
Such course only means trouble for
us and long continuation of the con-
ditions which give rise to disturbances
such as we have recently witnessed in
North Carolina. While we protect
these people and devote our free
government to their welfare we must
also protect our American ideas of
liberty, freedom and justice by giving
the ballot only to people who are quail
fed to discharge the duties of citizen
ship intelligently. Then we will have
no more outrages of this kind. Why
is not the present an opportune time
for the American people to enact some
wise legislation bearing upon the right
of suffrage. ***

ribbons, and they presented 9 very
gay appearance galloping back and
forth on each side Of this long train.
We forded the Redwood river, and
about sunset camped at Rice creek,
having travelled nearly eighteen miles.
There, after q short walk among the
Indians and tepees, I was completely
overjoyed at meeting my daughter,
whom I had not seen since we forded
the Minnesota on the day we were
made captives.
"After many other removes we came
to what proved to be the end Of our
journeying in captivity. Camp Release.
They gave US to understand that they
expected to have q battle in short
time with the white soldiers. The ex-
pected battle was fought on the I'D
day of September, at Wood Lake,
eighteen miles distant from our camp.
We could distinctly hear the report Of
musketry during this battle. The
hostile Indians returned to their camp
before sunset, and it was evident to us
by their appearance that they had met
with defeat.
"About 10 o'clock in the morning of
the third day after this battle, to our
great joy and admiration, the glim-
mer of the soldiers bayonets was first
seen, before we could see the men.
They marched past about half mile
where they pitched their tents. A
flag of truce was flying over the tepee,
for the hostile Indians had left us and
fled to the west. After all the white
captives were delivered to General
Sibley in military style, the order was
given to move to the soldiers tents.
I am sure every captive there offered
up fervent and grateful Thanksgiving
that the hour of release had come"

the Spanish were about to seize the
Astor battery guns they charged upon
them with revolvers. They would
have lost, but for our assistance. To
companies E, X and 81 this credit be-
longs. A friend tells me an incident
which he witnessed, where all the men
around one of the Astor battery guns
were lying wounded, one who was
shot,in the body reloaded the gun,
fred it, and then fell back dead with
another bullet wound in his head.
Since that day the Astor battery and
Minnesota boys seem like q lot of
brothers, The Astors think that "the
stuff would have been off" with them
only for the Minnesotians, while the
latter think it was the Astors that
saved them, and there you have it.
"The 23d infantry, fought like de-
mons. Eleven were shot down in
less time than it takes to tell it, and
their men behind them sprang in their
places with determination sticking out
all over them"
As previously stated Mr.. McRee
has not been sufficiently acclimated
to form good opinion of the country,
or rather the single island of Luzon.
He says that "there may be rich gold
mines here, but they are away in the
interior where cannibals rule supreme.
Rice and hemp are the chief products
of the islands. The timber is valu
able. Just think of burning mahog-
any for our cooking. Tobacco is
raised quite extensively also. Fruits
are plentiful, and monkeys are as
thick as gophers in our own beloved
State"
Of the people he says that "the
PHILIPPINES of the city are, generally
speaking, quite intelligent and fairly
we'll educated. Like the Chinese
COOLIES" they work for the Spaniards
from eight to ten cents day, but
when thsy work for the Americana
they want from 81 to 50 a day and
then kick. Our government pays
them we'll. The insurgents are quite
intelligent and act friendly towards
US since they began to understand the
governments motives, that of fair
dealings with everybody. The in
habitants in the interior, mean the
tribe that sit in the windows like mon
keys, look out for! They would just
delight in sneaking up behind you and
knitting you, but they are the biggest
towards ever created"
