Col. Fleet of the Culver Academy

where he has conferred with public
parties concerning the idea of placing
In naval annex with the academy.

Another letter was received from J.
III. Boss who is in charge of one of the
hospitals in Manila He describes the
town as dirty and sickening. The in
habitants are not any better. Broils
and murders are of frequent occurrence.
The insurgents and A mericans are con-
stantly at swords points. Smallpox is
raging. Mr.. Boss says if any one was
suddenly transported from Plymouth
to Manila he would 60 wild with the
excitement. But, he adds, when you
have become injured to the run of
things by gradual application, you
soon tire. He expressed his opinion
forcibly that he is not sorry that he is
there, and states that If he was not
bound down TO the army service he
could clear couple of thousand on
short notice.
The committee which have in their
hands matters relative to the Dunkard
Publishing House met last night to get
into form the correct figures of all col.
lections which have been made. The
result shows that several hundred dol
lars yet remain To be subscribed. Our
business men are working hard with
heart and hand TO bring the great
printing institution to our city. Some of
them are subscribing more than their
share. The strange idea that
those who subscribe are the ones
who expect to derive the benefits
therefrom II entirely false. A very
brief investigation will reveal that
many OF the highest subscriptions come
from men Who can in no way be profit
ed by the business, except in the graft
fication gal led in seeing their own city
thrive. Sl,rs and attempts to ridicule
the action CT our business men are at
least unpatI lotto.
