burrowed their holes in the sides of the mesas. These houses are exca- vated in the sides of hill, the cham Der being pierced some feet into the rise and walled up on three sides, in blown off into the sea, 1t is strongly front with stones. Across the top of the stone walls are laid poles which they gather from the drift wood of the island And upon these improvised rafters are placed hides, grass, and lastly layer of dirt.
 You do not enter this home direct ly, but the ingress is from the end of a long, low tunnel-like hall, covered with the same kinds of rafterS and roof as is the house. This passage way is from twelve to fifteen feet long and 1t does not abut against the apart ment to which it leads, and upon level with it, but ends below it, and you rise out of the hall into the house through an eighteen-inch hole in the top of one and in the floor of the other.
 This is the only means of getting into the house, and one must proceed upon the hands and knees to accomplish this. Why these people should adopt this strange style of architecture is an interesting problem, to the solution or which no theories have been advanced unless it be to protect the entrance from the outer cold and snow; and yet, as none of the other Alaskans have any such ideas, and they all endure the same cold, it seems curious that such notion should have sprung up among this tribe.
 In the summer these caves become too damp to live in, and the residents then build summer house on the top of the winter one. They raise a wooden frame and stretch seal hides upon it and so made room from ten to fifteen feet square. They abandon their long passageway for the season and enter their apartments by an oval hole cut in the skin about two feet above the ground. To prevent this structure from being torn away by the wind and guyed to the rocks of the hill with rawhide ropes A board walk leads from the front of the house around to the hill against which it backs.
 It is a strange and curious sight to behold, these odd dwellings ranged against the hills, setting one above an- other, the Iopmost perhaps overlook ing forty of such houses. It Is esti- mated that 200 people live in this vil- lage which is called Ouk-ivak, and which is certainly one of the most ex- traordinarily constructed places in the world.

host of other useful articles. Every one who has done any campaigning knows how one's buttons go and clothes give out at the most unexpected moments, and every good soldier must be prepared to repair his raiment at any time.
 Every soldier carries, or should carry, a first aid bandage with him, and this. If few simple rules are only studied, can be applied in dozens of different ways.
 It may seem trivial to refer to these minor details when men are leaving full of ardor for their country's service, and willing to do and dare anything for the cause But a good soldier should al- ways remember that the first duty he owes to his country is to preserve his own health intact.
 And if he neglects the very simple precaution of soaping his socks before a long march, he is very likely to be- come footsore, and so destroy his value entirely. for a soldiers ability to serve his country depends entirely on the state of his feet.

 Mosquito nets will also be a neces- sity in this cline, where every kind or flying and stinging pest abounds, and proof sheet, made of stout In- dia rubber will also be required. To sleep on the ground during the wet sea- son without one of these sheets would be almost certain to produce serious results, and, in fact, In that warm at mosphere, the rubber sheet will be about all the bedding soldier need carry with him.

method of keeping them down by fre- quent massacres.
 Six thousand was the maximum num- Der of Chinamen allowed to live in the land. When this limit was exceeded a massacre was decreed, and even so late as 1879 we find the Spanish butchers engaged in this barbarous work In 1762, when the British conquered and held Manila, the Chinese gave the in yaders every assistance, and for this, when the islands were restored to the Spanish, a decree of externination was issued. The Governor simply ordered that all the Chinese in the Philippines should be hanged, and 1t Is believed that this inhuman command was actu- ally put into effect
 Of course the good ladies of the Red Cross League. who have been working so busily during the last few weeks, will see to it that our men do not go away unprepared for the trials of a tropical cline.

" HE first vessel to transport Uni
 ted States troops to Manila is the
 well-known China mail steamer
 l the City of Peking. Captain Smith. her commander, speaks with au thority and with ti-- utmost confidence of the prospects of the voyage.
 There need be no fear about the health of the troops en route, he said. We are taking every precaution. AS far as I know at present we will carry about 1900 men, including a number of marines. They will occupy the whole of the steerage deck, with free ventila- tion fore and aft, not to mention any number of ventilators and wind sails The men will not sleep in swinging hammCcks. as on a man-of war, but in what are known as standee hammockS, canvas cots Slung between posts.

The ship will be provisioned by the military authorities. have nothing to do with that, but doubtless our soldiers will be fed as well as IS possible on a large troopship. We are not carrying ordinary passengers, the whole ship having been given over to the Government. The cabin accommo- dations will be occupied by the officers, and Lieutenant-Comm Gibson is going as naval representative of the Government He does not command she vessel, but is simply there in an ad- visory capacity. I shall retain entire control of my ship and will take her wherever the authorities direct.
 "I have read the alarmist reports about the plague in Manila, but l do not think the troops need fear any thing on that score. The bubonic plague is very prevalent in Annoy, Canton. Hongkong and other Chinese ports, but it does not spread to the Philippines.
 There is one very important point to which I have already drawn the atten- ton of the military authorities, and that is the necessity of providing light clothing for soldiers. It is impossible to expect men to serve in the tropics wearing the heavy uniforms they now have. They should be provided with suits of kharkee, such as are worn by the British soldiers on eastern service, and solar topees, or large pith helmets

fleets fraternized whenever they met, and made common cause against the foreigner who could not speak thelr tongue. Dewey's splendid victory aid not surprise me a bit, for every one who has served in the East knows the utterly rotten condition of the Spanlsn ships and the ineff1ciency of their crews.
 "Hongkong expected the victory ana will be delighted with it. The mer- chants there would welcome the Amer ican occupation of the Philippines, TOT then there would be chance to oe- velop the resources of the group.
 "The islands are enormously wealthy in natural produce, but the system or Spanish squeeze has prevented any great expansion of trade. These hlgh Spanish officials are quite as bad as the Chinese mandarins. and their whole system of administration is utterly corrupt Even as 1t Is there are half a dozen steamers constantly running between Manila and Hongkong; there is a large trade in sugar cane for the Hongkong mills, and the business IS capable of great expansion.
 'The American cause is dec1deoiy popular among all classes in the East, Everybody wants to see the Philippines brought under some proper system or civilized government. and the down fall of Spanish corruption will be unl- versally welcomed"

Eskimo taste is a curious anomaly. MT. Walker says that while anchored off the island a party or the men came aboard, and while his back was turned they took up and drank a gallon Of lin- seed oil, which was standing in a ves- sel upon the deck awaiting use in some painting operation. And MT. Aiken states that men cast ashore among them have starved to death, unable to eat their food. Their cravings for food would be voracious and they would take the stuff into their stomachs, but

 But we want to get there with all the coal we can, so as not to reduce Admiral De v's supply. It der the Charleston's convoy we will only be able to steam ten or eleven knots an hour, for the cruiser, with her limited coal capacity, cannot make the passage at a greater speed. Thus the voyage would require thirty days.
 "On the other hand, if we go alone and unprotected we can easily make fourteen knots, and thus accomplish the trip in twenty-two days.
 My crew has behaved in a curious manner. You know that in this trade we usually carry Chinamen, but when the fellows heard that we were going into the transport trade they mutinied in body. They remember the Japa- nese war and the sinking of a Chinese transport with over a thousand men on 1 board. We offered them double pay, but nothing would induce them to make the voyage. So we will have to send them back by another steamer and ship a white crew.
 Though we are not supposed to carry any civilian passengers, I got a telegram from Poulteney Bigelow ask ing for a berth. He states that he has the consent of the Government to ac- company us. Of course I have nothing lO QO NllI IL, lHt WHOle SIllp IldS DeeIl chartered by the authorities, and 1t Is their business whom they take"

 "I guess it will take us about half an hour to finish them off, replied Dewey, confidently. He has been as good as his word
 The same spirit of confidence in the ships and their commanders prevailed throughout the entire fleet. I never saw a finer or better disciplined body of men in my life and the ships were kept in magnificent fighting condition.
 "All the foreign officers at Hongkong were loud in their expressions of ad- miration for the American fleet, and the English in particular were most enthusiastic in their sympathy. The sailors from the two English speaking
