rumor is afloat that peace is declared.
1 only hope it is true.
Aug. %, 1898.
Your letters dated July and 10 were
received two days ago. No one but a
soldier knows how welcome they are.
Since 1 wrote last I have been over in
Old Manila-that is, the ancient part
of the city, which is so thoroughly for
titled. There is d wall about Is feet
high and about 80 to IS feet thick and
studded all around with cannon from
three to ten-inch bore. Outside of this
are numerous Notifications, such as
barbed wire fences, etc. New Manila is
the modern part. as we'll as the better
part. of the city. All of the Spanish
soldiers are uuartered in Old Manila
land, as some of the boys expressed it,
are thicker than fiddlers in h-D. They
have several large hospitals there, one
of which l visited. And now for some
of the horrible evidences of the work
of the Americans in the Philippines.
Hundreds of men, and even some young
boys, with arms and legs taken off by
shells, and some pierced by rifle bull
let's. One boy about Is had both hands
taken off, and one man had his lower
jaw taken off. Their hospitals are
much better than ours. The Spanish
army here were we'll clothed and quar-
tered, and had they been Americans,
Manila would never have fallen.
cannot understand how it is that
through it all we have not had mora
than 40 or so men killed and not more
than 100 wounded, while the Spanish
have hundreds wounded and heaven
only knows how many killed. They
will not tell us how many.
1 am very much dissatisfied here, now
that the fighting is over. l cannot be
contented with the lot of an enlisted
man in time of peace. l am still feel
ing splendid, and we are getting good
food at present, and also are very COM
fortably quartered. 1 have several rel
les of the fight, and while 1 was at
Camp Dewey 1 gathered up a small
sack of sea-shells, which 1 am going
to send to little Ruth.
have often wished that you could
be with me for awhile, to talk things
over, just to feel that there was some
one who was interested in me. If
had been among the unfortunate boys
who went down in the fight, 1 would
have been wrapped in my blanket and
laid in trench along with the rest,
and would scarcely have been missed.
Write to me often and tell me all the
news. Love to ali the folks.

Manila fell easily. Details Of the battle
you have no doubt heard from a thousand
sources. so repetition of them is unnec-
essary.
BY far the most tedious and exhausting
work done was by the batteries. Six of
their field pieces and two rapid-tire
pups throwing three-inch shells, which
Were given TO the batteries by Admiral
Dewey, had to be moved from Camp
Dewey and placed on the firing line. The
distance was over two miles and the guns
had to be moved by hand through the
Pasaig swamps. The work was done
during the day and night previous to the
attack.
The trials of Lieutenant Webb's platoon
which dragged the two pups to posi-
ton on the right flank may be taken as an
experience of what the rest of the batter
les passed through. Webb started out
about noon on Friday with Is men pull
ing each gun. Their course led along a
narrow road knee deep in mud. But this
road was luxurious travelling when COM
pared with the country encountered when
nearing the lines.

Genera Kitchener received an ovation
from the enormous throngs of people

with pleasure at the popular greeting.
When he attempted to make his way
through the crowd his hat was dash

Wilmington. y. c. DC

llIllllSlOn, ~. u, oClODtT -.
Editors Messenger:
1 desire to ask two questions, one OF
Senator Pritchard and one of Governor
Russell, n as they most closely con-
Germ public affairs, | PROFOUND them
through your columns:
Senator Pritchard: When you stat
ed in yOur studied political interview.
published in the papers a few days
since, that the whites and blacks in
this state had beer excited by "incen-
diary and inflammatory speeches rlade
by democrats" why did you omit any
reference to the speech of the fellow
COVingtOn, who advised the negroes to
put their arms around our school girls;
or to the infamous speeches of the ne
groes Lee Person, Middleton and Geo.
H. White, some Of whom advised the
negroes to go to the polls armed On
the day of election; or to the still
more infamous and ten times worse in
flammatory article in the negro paper
in Wilmington?
That you should have omitted these
things from your interview, senator,
looks very much like political clap-trap
of the worst sort, and apparently ap-
prOacheS very near that maxin2 Of the
common law, "suppressio veri suggeS-
ito falsi," the suppression of the truth
is the telling of a falsehood, but being
unwilling to believe that a man occu-
plying the high and dignified office of
senator Of the United States, would
stoop to such dirty trickery, the people
of the state would like to hear from
you OF the subject. 1t would doubt
less be interesting to the president if
you incorporate into your mex epiStle
to him on North Carolina politics a few
of these incidents.
Governor Russell: Why was it, hat
when thieving and robbery were OF
nightly occurrence in this city: when
the wives and daughters Of citizens
were daily inSulted and often treated
with open violence on the streets Of
this city. Of New Bern. and of other
places: when black felOns arrested at
the hands of white women were
liberated by a chief of police practi-
cally appointed by you, why vas IT
that you did not then issue your proc
lamation calling on the local authori-
ties to enforce the laws, or even use
your personal influence to suppress
this laWlessnesS?
For you to remain silent until the
whit people, goaded to desperation by
these acts Of violence, are about to
sweep from the face of the earth, with
the resistless power of the ballot, the
negro party to which you belong, looks
very much like you are willing to use
the power and prestige Of your high
office to keep virtue, character and in
t%elligence under the dominion Of ig-
norance and vice. Believing, governor,
that a man worthy to fill the govern
or's chair would not thus prostitute its
sacred powers, the people desire to
hear from you. A CITIZEN.

Not in the Fight Against the American
bac Company

Baltimore, October 27.-William
Marburg was shown a statement, pub
lished today, that he and Major Ginter
were interested in the Union Tobacco
Company said to be capitalized at SlO,-
600, 900 and organized for the purpose
of fighting the American Tobacco
Company. He said: Il am not direct
ly or indirectly interested in the new
company. ANY statement saying so is
absolutely false. After selling the
business of our firm to the American
Tobacco Company, l would consider 1t
very dishonorable to be a party TO
forming a competing company"
Mr.. Marburg said that he did not
even contemplate engaging in the to-
bacco business and explained that he
had retired over a year ago as n or
the American Tobacco Company. His
brother Theodore Marburg also made
a positive denial of the report.
Major Ginter, who was also named,
