unteer infantry. The letter is dated
San Fernando, P. l., August o, and
reads as follows:
Friend Will-Your kind and thought
full letter has been received. When
one has a hard time to pass away the
listless hours, you can imagine it was
most welcome. We are now in the
midst of the rainy season. The rain
comes down in torrents, and the water
keeps coming higher and higher. At
one time it was within six inches of
our beds, but we propped the hunks a
little higher, so we are yet in the
clear, Outpost duty is very unpleas-
anti 1t is almost two miles from our
quarters to the guard line, and after
we wade out there, we are compelled
to stand in water up to our knees
while on post. But the greatest trou-
BILE lies in not being able to keep dry
clothing. The sun Goes not come out
more than once week, and but few
people have seven changes of clothing.
As you may suppose a great deal of
sickness follows this kind of hardship
The Iowa regiment has suffered great
ly, and has but little over three hun
bred men fit for duty. Malaria and ty-
phoid fevers are most prevalent. There
is also a skin disease which acts some
thing like ringworm. The surgeons
call it Filipino itch. for the want of a
better name. All the soldiers have it
III more or less serious form. 1t comes
from the poison in the water. If an
American genius could land here with
sure cure for the disease he would
certainly return with fortune.
The insurgents are getting restless
again, but as soon as we get twenty
four hours of sunshine, they will be
started on the run. Mexico will be the
first town, and it will be in our pos
session even before this reaches you.
The insurgents render the nights hide
GUS with their yells and dances, mix
ed in with a few yolleys at our out
posts.
'rhe Fifty-irst Iowa is the only vol
unteer regiment on the firing line now.
The rest have been ordered home, eX-
cept the last expedition, and we ex-
pect to be relieved any time now.
Parts of the Twenty-fourth and Twen-
ty-ffth United States infantry have
arrived, and you ought to see the ma
tives stare at the colored troops. Their
square shoulders, little ears, big lips
and white teeth make an impression
on the ignorant native.
'sWe now have here district and
police court. Heretofore we simply
had a provost marshal. In civilized
lands it is no easy matter to mete out
justice. but in these Oriental islands,
where the people have been blighted
and oppressed by centuries of misrule,
in a swarming Asiatic city and its mix
led races, that task is much more diff
cult. The cumbersome and unjust
laws of Spain have been done away
with, and United States laws and
American modes of procedure are bare
ly beginning to be introduced. 1t is
very difficult in a Manila police court
to ascertain the facts in a case. There
are so many different nationalities rep
resented that it is necessary to employ
an interpreter. Many times it is neces-
sary to have more than one interp-
reter, and in order to get all
the evidence in case the Interpreters
in turn are placed on the stand and
each one translates his part of the case.
Your friend,

honors than toward corporation. In

with a wide acquaintance in the State

President Tuttle had worked his way up

Hall had had no experience in the new

the directors had not misplaced their
confidence, and he became on the re Ire
ment Of MrlTuttle second only to Presi-

close harmony and with great success
ever since then, and has been the latter's
choice as a successor.
