enough to make a hearth and
turned in towards the center
to make rests for the pot OF

Qucrtcl Qe Naldte,
Manila, P. /.
We steamed into Manila
bay on the roth of July, 1893.
This is a splendid body of wa.
ter; there is plenty of room for
all the navies of the world to
maneuver and have consider
able space left. We were
met, in front of Manila, by
the 'McC olluch', and after put.
ting an officer on board the
Indiana, the whole fleet of five
transports, comprising the grid
expedition, turned to the right
and anchored under the bat
teries Of Cavite, and inside the
line of American warships,
which are strung out in line
from the extreme point of the
fort at Cavite, to the American
breastworks before Fort Ma.

Mia, and the last fortified
point outside of the city pro-
per. In front of Manila and
north of us, the English, Ger
man, French and Japanese war
ships are at anchor south OF
the American string of war
vessels. All the transports OF
the other expeditions, several
golfers, and a lot of ships that
were caught trying to get in
to Manila after Dewey estab'
lished the blockade, the latter
principally Chinese and Japa'
nese, one Belgian, one German
one French, and two English
vessels; these are simply an
chored inside the American
lines and are not allowed tc
go out. There are no guards
on them and they all fly
their own flags. Our ships
are anchored about 1000
yards of the shore, right where
the big fight was the First o.
May. The battered and char
ed hulls and rigging Of thu
Spanish war ships are sticking
out of the water all around us
There are five of them within
900 yards of US, and to say
the least they look like

vite next day. The Spanish
government had a navy yard
here, that is on a small scale;
the Americans have it running
full blast now, and ! am told
it comes very handy, making
repairs that were needed after
the fight. The old town of
Cavite is completely surround
ed by high thick walls that
fairly bristle with antiquated
cannon. The latest date that
| made out on the guns was
1857, and some of them da.
ted back over 200 years.
There is about $50 of these
laying around in the grass and
covered over with rust an inch
thick.
These old rusty cannon, old
moss.covered walls, old sentry
boxes on every angle, and
of cannon balls, will
carry one back to the time of
wooden ships, and will remind
him of a giant in his dotage.
To the American youth this
peep into the past is well
worth the trip, for most them
have seen Sights that they
never dreamed of, no matter
how much they drank.
The PHILIPPINES are a curious
crowd that the Americans do
not take very well to, nor |
don't believe ever will. They
are too different from our race
to ever get along or pull
smoothly together. They are
far more different from our
people than either the negro
or the Indian. They are more
like the Chinaman, having all
the mental and greedy quail
ties of the Chinaman and are
not brave but cunning and
cruel, as their treatment of the
Spanish prisoners will show.
There is not an atom of gen
crosby in their makeup, and
! don't believe they know
what the word gratitude means
Certainly, that is all that one
could expect, for their Spanish
rulers never wasted much o.
the "milk of human kindness
on them. If you would take
any little villainous looking

Rules Governing Applications For Pardon

s>Sa~S -. ~-.~~ Notice of application for pardon should be published for at least two weeks in some newspaper in the county where the crime was committed for which the applicant was convicted.
 All applications for pardon should be accompanied by petition signed by at least twenty-five reputable citizens of the locality where the crime was com mitted.
 There should accompany the applica- ton recommendation to clemency and reasons therefor, signed by two-thirds of the Grand Jury which indited, two thirds of the trial jury which convict ed. the District Attorney who prose- cuted, and the Judge who sentenced the prisoner.
 If the required signatures of Judge, District Attorney and jurors cannot be obtained because of the death or ab- sence of any number of them from the Territory, the facts in that regard should be stated.
 After an application for pardon in due form, and in accordance with these requirements, is received at the exec utive office, it will be forwarded to the superintendent ofthe Territorial prison for report as to the prisoners conduct while in confinement. and for the rec Ommendation of the superintendent.
 After the later recommendation is received by the Executive, the case will be reviewed and considered by him and such action taken as he may deem proper.
 These rules do not apply to pardOns for the restoration of citizenship at the expiration of prisoners term. when such pardon appears deserved.
 A strict compliance with the above regulations will expedite action in par don cases. N. o. MURPHY,
 Governor.
