the Spanish prisoners, were brought
forth. There were services in the diff
ferent other churches, and these were
also attended by our soldiers.
The principal feature Of the day, how
ever. was the dinner, and every COM
mand had change from the plain bill
of fare provided by Uncle Sam to some
thing more palatable and appetizing. It
had been long time since the men had
partaken Of a meal under something
like civilized surroundings. and there
were many things to make Christmas
dinner enjoyable.
Christmas day here in the Philippines
could not have been more perfect. The
weather was fine. In the morning there
were cooling breezes, and later the sun
poured its rays straight down. The
sentinels were kept busy in lodging the
heat and hunting the shade. All duty
not absolutely necessary was dispensed
with for the day. There were all kinds
Of sports in the different commands. A
great field day had been arranged to
be held on the Lunetta, but owing to
The Redwood gazette., 1899-12-13

the difficulties, the day was rightly cele-
brated, for American soldiers, especially
those engaged in this war, do not do
things by halves. This first American
Christmas celebration here in Manila will
be long remembered by those who partic-
ipated in the festivities of the day, and it
will not be the last by many unless pres
ent indications belle themselves, for
American customs are fast becoming i'm
planted here.
While the men of the Eighth army
corps, the army Of occupation in Manila,
had been looking forward to the Christ
mas season for long time, it was not
until week before Christmas that the
real preparations for the proper observa-
ton of the season in the army were TAX
en-. When on Thursday before Christmas
the st. Paul came in and brought from
the friends and relatives of the men at
home so many kind remembrances, it was
at once decided to have a big Christmas
celebration. All kinds Of presents were
received in the mail, and nearly every
man received box of eatables. At once
preparations for a real Christmas obser-
vation were begun, and there was feast
ing throughout the army
suspended in Manila, and all observed
the day. In the morning there were re-
ligious services held in the different COM
mands by the chaplains, and these were
largely attended by the soldiers. These
services recalled to the men the many
things which they have to be thankful
for. Although they have undergone all
the trials and hardships of a campaign
in the rainy season of this tropical eli
mate, the death list has been very low,
and the men have endured the hardships
remarkably well.
Aside from the services held in the
several commands Of the army, there
was special service held in the great
Cathedral of San lgnatius for the SOL
diers Of the American army. There was
a grand solemn high mass and Rev. Fa-
ther McKinnin of the First California
conducted the services. The great
cathedral was crowded. There were
profuse decorations for the occasion, and
the great paintings and fine statuary,
which since the surrender Of the city
have been stored away owing to the oc-
cupation of the church as barracks by
The Redwood gazette., 1899-12-13

these native bands played Ii the street.
They lent their aid toward making the
festivities Of Christmas eve and Christ
mas night enjoyable. All through the
holy week Manila was filed with music.
Christmas, or Pasco, as the Spanish
is. had it's good things for old and young.
The children were at the height Of their
joy. for Juguetes, the Santa Claus OF
the Filipinos, came throughout the land
and everywhere distributed good things.
For a week before Christmas figures
fantastically dressed to represent Ju-
guetes were hauled through the streets
on decorated carts. Everywhere these
were followed by crowds of native chill
dren.
When the people of the Philippines
turn out to enjoy a holiday, they are
clad in their best and airiest attire, and
especially is this the case at Pasco sea-
son. Early on Christmas morning the
streets were filled with natives Of all
ages and both sexes. The men were clad
in the customary ermine garment and
the women in bright colored frocks, with
an embroidered piece Of pima around the
neck. The little pickaninnies were
dressed in tasty style, as Filipino styles
go, and were as happy as the rest.
The natives all attended the church
ceremonies, for with them, as with us.
these are the real features Of the day.
All through the holy week the church
festivities continued and ended only with
the advent Of the new year.
With our soldiers the principal ques-
ton at Christmas time was as to going
home, for all were thoroughly tired Of
soldering in the tropics. The bright
prospects for the speedy return Of the
volunteer forces was another cause Of
rejoicing and making merry. When
another year has passed and another
Christmas season is celebrated in Ma
nila, this city and the Philippines will
have been brought more fully under
American influences and will have en-
barked upon q new era.
The Redwood gazette., 1899-12-13

the unsettled state Of affairs it was
postponed.
The natives celebrated Christmas
with many queer ceremonies. and with
them the joyful Pasco Dias was a great
day. The Filipinos know how to enjoy
holiday as do no other people. They
have their holidays every week. but the
greatest Of all are Pasco Dias and holy
week. To the Filipinos Christmas was
a week long, and there was another week
of preliminary rejoicing. For more than
a week before Christmas the early morn
ing hours here in Manila were filled with
music. Bands paraded the streets in the
different parts Of the city. The bells Of
the great cathedrals rang out their mel
low monotones to awaken the people for
early mass.
Music was one of the principal features
connected with the native observance Of
the holiday season. There are few peo-
pie more musically inclined than the Fill
pinos, and on all occasions music is q
principal feature with the natives. They
have all sorts Of brass, string and reed
instruments, and some Of the latter are
most rude contrivances. They make
reed instruments from sections of bam-
boo, and these are of all sizes and con-
seQuently Of all pitches. At the holiday
season one has a chance to see more Of
the musical instinct than at any other
season of the year. All day Christmas

greatly desired Tor the crops, but ordl-
narily from week to week there ID IN
unclouded sky. A cool. pleasant breeze
blows from the west. In the house 1t Is
not only cool, but cold, SO that little
summing is pleasant, and at night, espe-
cially far up in the country, fires are
welcome. Cool breezes during the day,
sweet scented flowers, birds singing and
rocks cawing in the trees add to the
charms of India's most agreeable sea-
son. Then Europeans, so far as circum-
stances permit, get into the open air and
move freely about, with everything in
the climate to favor their travelling.
Europeans usually observe the festive
season somewhat in the same way as we
do in America, but a Christmas day In
the tropics is fact hard to realize. The
scenes, climate and general surroundings
are so very different from what we are
used to here. Picnics, tennis. shooting
parties on elephants and rides and drives
through country avenues take the place
Of sleighing, skating and coasting.
There are Christmas decorations pecul-
lar to India. for the natives dearly love
all tokens Of feasting. They place tall
plantain leaves and punches Of fruit In
the gateway as symbols Of plenty and
hang up wreaths Of laurel and India jas
mine or strings Of small lamps and OF
those great orange marigolds which they
offer at the shrines Of all their gods.
An attraction for the little folks is
found in the great stands Of Christmas
cakes and trees. Ornamental cakes
which are supposed to be especially dear
to English hearts are made by the ma
tives. The number of these that are pre-
sented on Christmas morning by native
tradesmen to their employers is startling.
As many as dozen have been seen on
one lady's table. Besides these. trays Of
all manners Of candies. fruits. vegetables
and flowers are presented. sometimes by
the servants themselves, who come to
make their salaams and generally expect
to receive some Christmas backsheesh
(money) or Christmas ''boxes." Native
princes and nabobs send presents of
like nature to their English friends. The
contents of the trays are often most ar
| tistically arranged.
The churches are decorated, but what
| an upheaval Of all ones cherished senti-
ments and memories! In the place of the
holly and ivy, flowers Of brilliant hues
are seen; instead of furs and plaids. sum-
J mer gowns and hats are worn; in the
, place Of rosy, frost kissed cheeks, there
are pallid and sun bleached ones.
| The roast turkey and beef and blazing
plum pudding are generally forthcoming.
| served by native walters in their white
raiment and bare feet. The festivities Of
the day are usually wound up by dinner
party in the evening.
