state board for said year. from the

the state q further additional annual

stephen Bick Writes His Brother in Rock
Ii

- -
Island
George Bick. of 1884 Thirtv-eighth
street, is in receipt of letter bearing
date of Sept. 1, from his brother,
Stephen Bick. 4 member of Company
+, 23d infantry. United States regu-
lars, stationed at Manila. He describes
the ovation that the troops he accom-
panied accorded Admiral Dewey as
they passed his flagship in steaming
into the bay, tells how hungry the
boys are for news from home, and re-
grets the fact that they were not in
ing out the Spaniards. His letter
contains an interesting account of the
developments in the Philippines since
his arrival there July II. He was in
the battle of the night of Aug. l and
heard the bullets whistling by his
head. Il learn since that the Span
iards lost in that fight 3S5 killed COZ
wounded and 81 unaccounted for
while the American loss was but three
killed and five wounded. The enemy
had four of his crack regiments in
that fight. 1t was their plan to break
through at the swamp and flank the
rest and march on To Camp Dewey
and clean out the American hooks
CHATS what they call us), and hold
parade on our camping grounds next
morning. The soldiers told US all
about it afterward.''
The writer states that the Ameri-
cans have about six thousand Spanish
prisoners. The dons are a cowardly
lot of fellows, the soldiers having no
confidence in their leaders.
The natives are nothing but cut
Threats. thieves and murderers. says
the letter further. ..They would kill
man for ) cents. The only work
they do is in running canoes in the
bay and gathering oysters. Uncle
Sam has a worse lot to deal with now
than the Indians. The natives be-
have nicely in the day time, but at
night, when one cannot see or defend
himself, they attack you. But we
will make short work of them if they
bother us. There are all kinds of
minerals in the Philippines, from coal
to diamonds. There are Germans,
English, Cinnamon and Japanese
here. 1t rains almost every day in
this country from March to Septem-
Der. During that period the Their
memeter ranges from 40 to 80. From
Septem Der to March it ranges from 90
to 10, and it is just as hot when the
moon shines as when the sun shines.
Mosquitoes, flies and gnats are plen-

weather contribute toward making
life miserable for one who is used to
