Peculiarities OF life in Manila Sare de-
scribed most intertainingly4 BY Lieut. M.
s, Meade, of the Thirteenth minnesota
regimental staff, in letters to relatives In
St. Paul. The following letter - dated
Sept. %:
Am taking rest today after THE ia
tigue OF yesterday. Pleasures areSso very
few and far between that when we do
have a day Of enjoyment we have to lay
up for repairs so to speak not being used
to them.
Yesterday I started out early to do the
marketing, then went over the river for
supplies from Uncle Sans commissary
depot, and then did d little shopping,
arriving home a little after II having
put in quite busy morning. 15lwanted
to have everything done as in the after
noon we were to visit the Monadnock.
After '.Tiff1n'' Qunch) we went down to
the office of the captain Of the port Capt.
Glass of u s. s. Baltimore), there we
met about thirty of the officers of our
regiment. Capt Glass rendered the use
of his launch and we were soon off, 1t
was beautiful bright warm day. All
wore white uniforms, white fromscap to
shoes, and looked as if we were going to
church only we didn't act that wayi acted
more like a lot Of school boys going to- a
picnic. We passed the old gray walls OF
the fort with its grim cannon POINTING
toward the sea and Old Glory floating
proudly from the big flagstaff bn the
ramparts. It was beautiful sight-this
was the staff on which we saw ,Spain's
yellow rag flying when we entered the

harbor July 31st. we also passed two
Spanish gunboats that Dewey had raised
from the bottom of the river. One OF
them, the larger of the two. the Spaniards
sunk on the day Of the battle.
AS we passed out into the bay we could
see hundreds of fishing boats fitting here
and there, and we passed the blamedest
olQ junk galley with twelve rOWers,
six on a side. They stood up, and walked
backward and forward and welded oars
about twenty feet long. She carried two
spars with old tattered, blackened sails
and queer looking jib, but what topped
the whole thing was she was flying the
United States flag. There was matched
hut on the back end, from which native
women peered forth. Back of the hut
stood the helmsman dressed In a breech-
clout and holding an umbrella over his
head. We gave her shout as we swept
by, but they only stared at us as II they
thought we were crazy.
Prefers the Army.
When we approached the Monadnock
the officer on the deck leve1ed his glasses
at us and watched until we neared the
gangway. It was no trouble to climb on
deck as it is not more than two feet above
the water. Capt Whitney was sent Tor

was especially interested in the big
ten-inch guns, Of which there are four,
two in each turret mounted In pairs. We
had the turret worked and climbed into
the sighting hood and sighted the piece.
The effective range Of these guns Is seven
miles. The projectile weighs 500 pounds.
It takes $50 pounds of powder to charge
the gun and every shot fired costs $SOO.
These guns have been fired sixty times
and show no signs OF deterioration.

Lieut.. Conrad bought three bluewing teal
the other day. They hunt them with clay
balls and blow pipes. They knock them
over and catch them before they come to.
They have to bring everything in alive

Capt Corriston saw one of these blow
pipes made of reed that measured six
feet in length. They say the natives are
very expert in the use of them and can
stun bird at fifty yards. They are
trained from babyhood like the Indians
with bow and arrow in bye gone days.
Even the fish are brought in tubs of wa

jolly fellows aboard-fellows that had got
on at Sioux City just a minute or so be-
fore the boat started; and these fellows
had quoted their suspicious right at the
outset by declarin' that they had. never
played poker nor three-card monte in
their lives. The only thing they could do
was drink; and drink they did, easily
beatin' the boys at this game, and the
boys was experts, too.

B. Dingee, he was out-and-out blind. So
none of 'em took particular notice OF
another passenger gettin' aboard at this
point, nor appeared to see the half a
dozen boxes, similar to their own, that
he had the deckhands carry up to his
stateroom. Nor did the boys know when
the Deer Lodge touched at Nebraska

all three was la-snorin' in their berths.

present to say goodbye. But in passin'
