CONDITIONS AT MANILA.

A significant letter has been TO.
ceived in San Jose by Ed McMaui-
mon, the Associated Press Manager of
that place, from his brother william
McManimon, who is with the First
South Dakota Infantry in service in
the Philippines. The letter confirms
the statments OF .he returned volun-
tecrs rs to the bad state ot affairs in
the islands. Tho writer says in let
that was mailed at San Fernando:
-fhe weather is excessively hot now
and outside ot guard duty the men
heve little to do, but that is not say
ing thht they have an easy time. We
are liable to be called cut ut any time
OF the night or day to make double
quick time for five or six miles while
lighting the natives on the run.
"Tho sicx list il enormous. I will
give it to you from yesterdays report
There were sick and wounded in Ma
Mia, 9 officers and 237 men; sick in
the field, 4 ofiicerG and lSS men. a
total OF l3 officers and i25 men sick
IN our regiment. or course, tho next
movement will disable more OF our
men. just imagine a company OF IL
men reporting for duty. That is what
company II marched into town with.
!: will take good many years to put
down this Iusurrection il the number
OF men i'll the service continue as
now.
-Ont Of all the regulars that have
come here since the lighting began,
there has not to my knowledge been
Il single company ON the firing line.
This has caused much dissatisfaction
among the officers and men. The
regiment on the limo are nearly worn
out with four months Of hard cam
raigning, something remarkable un-
der the trying climatic conditions
and nphealthfL Illness OF the country.
Over one half OF the men in the regi.
ment are unfit for duty. so You can
see thnt We are shot to pieces. | do
not think there are five men left who
could stand two days march. We
look fierce. There is no place To
bathe aud halt OF the men are ragged
Natives are as plentiful as ever with
no prospect Of the end IN sight.
~The natives are allowed to pass
from our limo into that OF tie enemy
at any time. They come in hordes
selling mRpgoes, bananas, chickens
and eggs. They charge pricea great-
ly III excess OF tho value Df the stuff,
and yOu have no recourse but to pur.
chase or to leave them.
-In regard to going home, that is
apparently rs far away as ever. At
present it is our daily hope that the
regulars in Manila will come out and
relieve us. You can further Judge OF
our condition when give you u list
OF our men and officers able to do
duty on tho firing line. There uro
- officers and less than iCO mon, and
l do not believe that Piute Indian
would associate with uH. This ia the
result OF 1l9 days OF hard campaining.
