Poor, misguided red men! do they
hope to successfully contend with the
Great Father at Washington. One
would think that the experiences of
almost three hundred years would
have taught them better. The pre-
sent uprising is evidence of innate
sbsslEbarisea T is almost three hun
dred, years since the redskins first
made the acquaintance of the white
man and yet they are little better
than savages even now. Perhaps we
need not wonder very much after all
that many of the natives of the
Philippine Islands after three hund-
red years of Spanish rule, are semi
savages still. A child of nature does
not become enlightened and highly
civilized in a day.

Letter From Manila.
MANILA, SEPT. 5, 1898.

MANILA, DEPT. y, 1000.
DEAR MOTHER.
We arrived here
August 31st and landed Sept. LIST. We
were twenty days in coming from
Honolulu and had good, bad, and in
different weather. I was sick six
days and have not fully recovered
yet. They half starved US and when
we landed, we could hardly walk we
were so weak. 1t is terribly hot here.
We have the best quarters and food
we have had since l have been in the
service but the heat just nearly kills
me and l am 80 weak I can hardly
take care of myself. There is very
little 1 can tell you that you won't
find in the papers. Manila was tax
en- by our boys before we got here
and am so disappointed that I am
just sick. Probably there will be no
more fighting and we will come home
in few weeks or months at The most.
I am not sick but feel 80 miserable
can't write any more This time. I just
hate Manila and all I have seen iu it
and hope they will get us out of here
before we begin to die off because
that is just what W II happen to us if
they don't. Watch all the papers
and you will get nearly all the news,

Princeton Wasn't Ahead.

The Milaca ball club was on hand
Sunday. They evidently expected a
hard fight, as they brought jim Ward,
a veteran player, along with them.
Cravens, the Princeton catcher, was
not there, but his place was well filled
BY Claggett. The game opened well, the
first two innings being played without
a score. At the end of the eighth in
ming the score stood five for Princeton
and three for Milaca, and everything
promised victory for Princeton. In
the ninth Milaca did some heavy bat
ting and scored three times, making
six to five, and giving Princeton the
laboring oar. With one man out
Mahoney ran from second to third, the
ball was thrown over the third base
man and. Mahoney started for the home
plate, with good chances Of making it,
but Cramb collided with him and he

Final Return on Casualties.

The final report of casualties in the
army since it landed in Cuba five
weeks ago has been received: It
shows an aggregate of 1,9l4 officers and
men killed, wounded and missing.
The killed number 256, of whom 81
were officers; wounded 1854, of whom
SO were officers, and missing 81 of
whom none were officers. OF the
wounded 69 have died. IL 80.
( Col. Piet, the:surgeon in charge says
this is a remarkably small number of
fatalities considering the large
number of wounded. In the field
hospitals there have been remarkably
small number of septic wounds, and
but two cases Of gangrene have
developed, one OF which resulted
fatally.

was knocked almost senseless. There
was wild time fora few minutes, the
boys yelled themselves hoarse and
pandemonium reigned. The umpire
decided that Mahoney had been
touched by the ball and called him out
and thus died the hopes Of Princeton.
The next man to bat went out and the
game stood Princeton five, Milaca six.
There were a number Of errors but
none very costly. A feature of the
game was the number of flies caught
in the field. Following is the score:

Saturday is inspection day and after
inspection is over the boys have
holiday. Yesterday the boys were
given the privilege of having a mock
parade, and such a sight was never
seen. There were Chippewas, Fiji
Islanders, Negroes, Mexicans, Ger
mans, and hundreds of unclassifed
species Of the genus homo Billy
Frazier was in command of M company
and his uniform consisted of two fan
mel shirts, one serving as a blouse, the
other for pants. The company wore :
everything that could be skirmished
which was not regulation and topped
their uniforms with haversacks worn
as caps. Dan Spaulding was color
bearer and wore samples OF hardbread
on each shoulder as rank. straps. The
battalions were formed and marched
onto the parade ground and then the
fun began. In every regiment there
are always two or three officers who
have done something to incur the ill
will Of the men and this is no. excep-
tion. These unfortunates were given
the most artistic roasts of their lives
and they were all present to take it in,
too. Some of the reports we're funny,
too. One -adjutant reported, .'Sir, all
who are not in the guardhouse are
present" The ragimental adjutant in
reporting to the colonel that the bat
talions were formed said: ''Sir. the
Italians are deformed.'' The colonel
saluted and gravely replied: flake
your base, sir. - When the parade
was dismissed the boys headed by the
band marched through the camps of
the End Ohio and 1st Pennsylvania and
were cheered to the echo. !. :
1t is raining again to-day, which

ing quartermaster in the Southern
army, and he conceived the idea OF
raiding the Martinsburg shops and
hauling the engines and cars over the
pike from Martinsburg 10 Strasburg,
va. where they could be placed on
the tracks of the Manassas Gap rail-
road.
The engines were dismantIed. all but
their drive wheels, the forward ends
being placed On a heavy truck made
for the purpose with iron shod wheels
Forty horses in a team were attached
10 each engine. Jackscrews were used
as brakes in going down hill, being
fastened 10 engine frame and placed
sidewise against the drive wheels and
frightened or lossened as the necessity
arose.
The work OF transportation was ne
cessarily slow. and the cayalcade. with
horses four abreast. and stretching out
Tor one hundred feet along the road,
furnished a startling spectacle, doubt
less never before seen anywhere
Sometimes the distance between Mar
tinsburg and Winchester, eighteen
miles, was made in enc day, but the
average time from Martinsburg to
Strasburg was three days.
The engines were put together again
as soon as they reached Strasburg, and
they and the cars were able to render
such aid in transporting troops that il
is questionable whether the second BAT
tie oil Manassas, or Bun Run, would
have terminated as it did il il had not
been for the increased transportation
facilities they afforded
The engines were afterward taken to
Richmond, and, when that city was
threatened, TO Raleigh. \. C., and did
valuable service to the CCnfederacy
throughout the war.
1t is related that some Of the rail-
road iron included in the quantity car
ried away BY Colonel Sharp formed

States navy, and which, but for the
providential arrival OF the Monitor.
must have sunk at viii every Federal
gun boat which she attacked.
Some Of the stolen property was re-
covered by the Baltimore & Ohio road
after the war. and so high a regard did
the management have for the genius
Of Colonel Sharp that he was made
master Of transportation Of the road, a
position he held fer a number OF years
under President John W. Garrett, who
was also at the head OF the road dur
ing the war
