On the flap of tent of COM
pany in one of the military camps
near New York is pinned card, on
which is written:
To visitors:
Glad to see you always.
We are not afraid not yet.
We know we are liable to be shot.
We don't know how we will feel
until we get hit.
We are liable to be sick.
We might be sick if we stayed at
home.
We are not dying to get into the
hospital.
We may die after we get there.
Yes, if we have a chance I'VE shall
shoot.
Would we kill Spaniard' Ask
Dewey.
We don't know whether we shall
be glad when it's all over. Most
likely.
We are sorry we are going to
leave our wives and our children and
our Sweethearts.
If you are our wives and sweet
hearts please do not weep and make
a scene in camp. We went through
that at the house. Beside, it UNI
nerves the fellows in the other tent.
If you are our SWeetheartS you
know what to do, but be careful.
The officer of the day may be a
bachelor.
We were never in the other war.
If we had been we wouldn't be in
this one-on account of our age, and
for some other reasons.
The tent leaks when there is rain.
We have had some leaks.
Yes, it is cold in here when it
rains.
We are fond of war pictures.
Those that represent us as facing
bursting shells and walking over the
mangled remains of our comrades
and dead horses, and that have vul-
lures in the air are especially fas-
cinating to young soldier in camp.
Are we warm enough at nights?
Not as warm as we expect to be.
If you have tears to shed, please
notify the guard, so that he may
show you where the shed is.
Always glad to see YOU.

TIE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS,

1901
Local and European authorities
estimate the area of the Philippine
Islands at 1000 square miles, and
their population at from 5000, 900
to 10, 1000, 900. The island of Luzon,
on which the city of Manila is stu
ated, is larger than New York and
Massachusetts,, and has a population
of 200, 900; and the island of Min
danao is nearly, if not quite, as
large. There are scores of other
Islands, large and very populouS.
An idea of the extent of the Philip
pines may be formed when it is
stated that the six New England
States, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland and Delaware have 10 per
cent. less area. In addition to the
Philippine Islands, the Caroline,
Ladrone and Sooloo groups are con-
sidered under the jurisdiction of this
consulate (Manila). have received
a petition requesting that consular
agency be established at zap, in the
Caroline group.
In all, there are about two thou
sand islands in a land and sea area
of about 200 miles of latitude and
2 400 miles of longitude.
EXPORTS.
During the quarter ended Deem
Der 81, 1897, there were exported
from these islands to the United
States and Great Britain 2Io, 1893
bales of hemp (2So pounds per
bale), of which 1892 bales went
to the United States and only 7S,Ioo
bales to Great Britain. During the
year 1897 there was an increase in
the export of hemp from the Philip
pines to continental Europe of 1874
bales; to Australia, 2,Io2 bales; to
China, 20 bales; to Japan, 2,o2S
bales; and to the United States,
1886 bales-a total increase of
I58,4S5 bales, while to Great Britain
there was a decrease of 22, 348
bales.
Thus, of increased shipments from
the Philippines, those to the United
States were 544 per cent. greater
than to all other countries combined.
Of the total exports of hemp from
the Philippines for the ten years
ended 1897, amounting to 6, 52S, 9o5
bales (oI4,o55 tonS), al per cent.
went to the United States. .
During the same years the Philip
pine Islands exported to the United
States and to Europe 1852, 9o4 tons
of sugar, of which S75,I5o tons
went to the United States, o6o, 3oI
tons to Great Britain and al, 3o2
tons to continental Europe; showing
that of the total exports more than
S. per cent. went to the United
States. '....
AT the current values in New York
of hemp "a cents per pounD and of
raw sugar (33B cents per pound),
the exports of these two products
alone from these islands to the United
States, during the ten years under
review, amounted to $50, 2o3,722 80,
or an average of nearly s8,92o, 372 t
per year. ....,.
Data as to cigars, tobacco, copra,
woods, hides, shells, indigo, coffee,
etc., are not now obtainable; but a
conservative estimate would so raise
the above figures as to show United
States imports from these islands
to average about 81 1000, 900 per
month. To-day, have autherti-
Gated invoices for export to United
States amounting to SI5S,ooo.I2.
Later, will write of the Philip
pine tariff, import and export, being
now engaged in translating it into
English. The export duties and

HUGHES ACQUITTED.
The Versailles Lynching Trial
Is Ended.
THE ATTORNEY GENERALS VIEW
Says That From All the Evidence OBJ
tainable the Victims Must Have Broken
Jail and Hanged ThemseIves-Per-
jury Charges Are Threatened.

CROSS PLAINS. Ind, March 2.-The
trial of Hez. Hughes, superintendent
of the reform school at Plainheld, on
the charge Of being implicated in the
lynching at Versailles, has ended in
verdict by Justice Craig acquitting Mr..
Hughes from any participation in the
affair. The courtroom was crowded
during the proceedings. The defendants
attorneys were Rebuck, Cravens and
Thompson. The states attorneys we're
Attorney General Ketcham and II. d.
MoMullen.
The state harped a great deal on the
testimony Of Charles Kelly, whom they
had brought from the reform school at
Plainheld. The past character of Kelly
as it was laid before Justice Craig
went decidedly in favor Of the defend
ant. While the arguments Of Messrs.
Cravens and Rebuck were strong and
impressing, that Of Marion Thompson
was most effective.
Probably the most sensational part
Of the argument was Mr.. Thompson ac-
cusing Governor Mount and Attorney
General Ketcham Of bringing Kelly here
4 TO testify against Hughes on the prom
Use of giving him his liberty from the
reform school. Mr.. Ketcham denied
4 this.
Squire Craig said in his decision in
4 the case Of the state Of Indiana against
4 Hezekiah Hughes for numbering Henry
Schuter in the Versailles Jail on the
& night Of Sept. Ia, 1897: II was in
4 the late war, saw men wounded, bleed
8 and fall dead upon the battlefield, but
5 this is the hardest task that has ever
befallen me. While 1 believe that 20C
& men in the mob are guilty Of lynchine
the five men in the Versailles Jail,
must and do declare, according to tes.
timony given In this case. that Heze.
q kiah Hughes Is not guilty"
Il Attorney General Ketcham. after the
decision, was at once driven to Dills
boro to catch a train 20 Indianapolis
where he will report to the governor
n In an interview while en- route he said
1T is evident from all the evidence OBJ
tainable that the five men broke jai
and hung themselves"
The militia has been called in, anS
their presence in Versailles has neve
been needed. Hughes is receiving con
& gratulations from his friends from al
quarters. 1t is not known what tn
next move Of the governor win be, bu
It is supposed he will not do anythin,
for awhile at least. Rumors that tn
governor would prosecute witnesses 70
Is perjury have not been verified.
