army corps badge, and try to forget his
army experience, or that he ever was pri-

soul to be"marching on" in any higher SER

result of "much good" to the State. Is
the contemporary an unconscious satir-

1t is observable that this sup.
porter Of the Grout regime, like all Of
his class, confines himself to general
tiles, which do not glitter with even a
ray of the light of reason or common

on the part of the supporters of General

fairly consistent in its adherence to its
unbelief, as the records will show.
When it comes to determining the
length of tenure of a public office, in
any given instance, we shall be judged
by our own statements and expressed
opinions. "Tbe ridiculous argument"
exploited by the contemporary is his
own, not anything that has appeared ed.

over the WATCHMAN's "refusal of a

Manila, July 17,IS9S.
Dear Father take my pencil

same. We came into Manila
this morning. I was corporal of
the harbor guard yesterday and
last night. Papa, I tell you it was

The first expedition stopped at
the Ladrone islands and captured

and his staff with IS others. A
sergeant came on board just now
and told US about it. The fun of it
was that they wanted them to hang
the officers, drown the privates
and kept telling them to get the
prisoners on board the ship as
quickly as possible.
There were at feast dozen Span
ish vessels sunken in the bay,
with masts sticking out of the wa

now about one mile from the city.
We received word from a vessel
that Sampson had wiped Cervera's
feet off the waters, clear and clean.
We are looking for small Span

know what Dewey will do. One of
the German vessels got her Dutch"
up and the Russians cleared the
decks of some of their vessels
for fight, then Dewey told them he
was running that place, " and they
cleared off.

about us long before this reaches
YOU, but nevertheless l know you
will be glad to have a few lines
from Manila. Now, father, it may
be some time before you hear from
me again, as we have no regular
mail route yet. 1t costs US S cents
for one-half ounce, but l will write
as often as possible.
I got some Mexican money to-
