From Manila.

The following was taken from letter from Major Theodore Sternberg, Pay master United States Volunteers, dat ed Manila. January 22nd.. 1899:
 "I wish you would call the attention of the President and Secretary of War to this:
 "There are no less than 10 per cent of the volunteers who honestly wish to remain in these islands and make :heir homes here and engage in agriculture, lumbering and mining. From every point of vantage this should be encour- aged unless America means to haul down its flag and sneak home. The time will come when every man will recognize the value of these islands.
 "Take but one item. cattle. They thrive here: it is the finest stock conn., try I ever saw The Orient can be sup piled with beef from here. Now, these soldiers wish to be discharged here with travel pay. This will be their capital. Those who are in earn est will and can do anything to prove it. But they would be willing to serve out two years service by transfer to the regular army. They would, many of them, prefer to be mustered out here with nothing rather than be compelled to go to the states to be mustered out
 "There are many regular soldiers enlisted here under order forty. These men think they should be paid travel if they intend settling on these islands. Now, all of this is based upon the idea that the United States will re- tain some sort of interest in these islands. Knowing the value of the pioneer I say deliberately that each of these plain soldiers, yonug, vigorous and used to the climate, by remaining here, will be of inestimable value to our country. The only way to Amer icanize these islands is the example of American pioneers engaged in making homes for themselves.
 "There are no healthier people than the English and Scotch who have lived here for many years At all events, the Government has here now the cream of American young manhood who are anxious to try the thing.
 "I know the regulars as a rule don t want to hold these islands, because they prefer stations in the States. know that the majority are homesick, and so color their opinions. But had rather die here than see the flag come down, and if was twenty years young or would make my home on farm hcre.'
