The following letter was received
by Z. B. Malott from Carl Fry OF the
hospital corps Of the Twentieth regl'
mont:
MANILA, Dec. 16.-Well, at last we
are in Manila. 1t is not very pref
ty place and very dirty but it is quite
large place. We landed last Sun
day and at once went into La kcss
barracks. l was not on land from
the 18th Of November until the llth
Of December. We got here on the
9Th but did not unload until the llth.
From what we can hear we will not
be here so very long. The Astofi
battery starts home today and two
more regiments have orders to De
home inside Of 60 days.
The little boys and girls play
around our barracks a good deal and
several Of them wash the boys dishes
and straighten up their hunks for
them. Their only amusement seems
to be throwing pennies against the
walls and seeing how far they will
bounce back or riding on each others
shoulders.
Every night we can see Aguinaldos
signals around the town and some OF
the officers look for trouble all the
time. All the companies have been
issued two days rations and l5o cart
ridges each.
Iwent TO a Filipino circus the other
night and it was almost likean Imer-
lean circus only it was good deal
smaller and they talk Filipino. !

Of them sat right in front Of me and
when one Of the performers came out
with the American and Filipino flags
crossed they turned around to me and
laughed and said' No bae"o' m"eA0
malo, which meant "No good, much
bad but then they said the Ameri-
cauo uucho bueno or the American was
very good.
One Of the boys that was on guard
yesterday was sleeping under tree

Of the tree down on to him and it al

Dec. pa received my first mail
from home day before yesterday. You
will know before you get this letter
that there was very little voting done
on the Newport. The boys voted the
first day out Of Frisco and out Of the
battalion there were only ~ votes
cast, think.

fell in in light marching order'
Haversacks, canteens, knapsacks
