Naval Officer Writes From Manila Re.
EardinS tue Prisoners.

BOSTON. September ga naval officer
on one Of the ships at Cavite says, In a
private letter written to relatives here. un-
der date of August 10:
Il today made a trip to Manila purposely
to see and interview SpaniarG who claims
to have seen Lieut. Gilmore and his men.
The Spaniard arrived in Manila August II,
coming through the outposts at San Fer
nando Ge la Pampanga. His name is Feiipa
GalZa, and he is a planter by occupation.
On the 1st of February last he was on his
plantation when he was surrounded by a
deputation of natives, who made him
prisoner. He was forced to follow the
movements made by the so-called Filipino
republic and tramp through mud and water
and over mountains in their Wanderngs.
Two weeks before the arrival at Manila he
saw at Bigan Lieut.. Commander Gilmore
and his fourteen fellow prisoners. From
his report it is judged that they have Jared
badly at the hands of their captors, and
although their courage was undaunted,
they were in bad shape physically, in real
ity being half starved.
Gilmore in Fair Health.
Gilmore himself, he said, was in better
health than some of the others, being
man of strong physique and strong deter
mination. The whole party was entirely
destitute of clothes and all the necessities
of life The failure of the United States to
ransom them expected. had enraged
the insurgents that their treatment, which
for some time had been most kind, had
since become the reverse. The members of
the party, however, were not discouraged
and fully expected to return to their
friends. Galza thought that with proper
measures employed by the United States
government there would be no trouble in
effecting the speedy release of Gilmore and
the YorktoWn'S men.
