Manila, p. l., April Z, 1899.
j. W. b. COLE, DEAR FRIEND. -
l received your kind and welcome
letter and was glad to hear from you.
We have been having pretty warm
time so far. l had fine trip across
the States and across the Pacific
ocean. We landed in Manila Bay the
9th of March and came ashore the 9th.
l had the pleasure of seeing Admiral
Dewey and his big powerful fleet.
Dewey came out on the bridge of the
Olympia and gave us three cheers as
we passed about forty yards from the
boat and we could see him plain. We
landed the 9th of March aud the 18th
we had II battle. We had two men
wounded out of our company that day
and on the 18th we got into it in good
shape. The "niggers" got one batal-
lion of our regiment in V shape and
they We're on hills each side of us. /
thought for awhile they We're going to
capture us I'LL. We had nine wounded
and two killed that evening. We then
came back and remained in Manila
about week. We had another fight
the 25th and 10Th and on the 9th we
took the Insurgent capital, Malos,
twenty-six miles from Manila. That
fellow, Will Howard, you were speak
ing OF is in my company. He got shot
in the battle the 25th and | helped
carry him off the field and tie up his
wound. He was shot through the left
shoulder just above the heart. I was
at the hospital yesterday to see the
boys of our regiment Howard is get
ting along pretty well.
saw Will Wilson and Clyde Baker
and spent whole day with them talking
of home. They are all well. Will Will
son is so fat you wouldn't know him.
Bert Petty is in Company c..
of the 5lst Iowa. L had q long
talk with him. Our regiment has
had heavy loss since we have been
here. The "niggers" have the finest
kind of trenches but they leave them as
soon as we fire few volleys into them.
We have to charge them out of their
trenches but when you get them start
ed you couldn't catch them with race
horse and then is when / like to put il
to them. 1t is no sight any more to
see fifteen or twenty dead ''niggers

send me an Audubon paper and l will

Congressman Dolliver nicely pre-
scented some facts in his Auditorium
speech at Chicago a week ago Sunday.
He drew attention to the fact that the
order to Dewey was to find and destroy
the Spanish fleet. That was this gov
ernment's idea and purpose. We ex-
pected to have to chase it through
Pacific waters perhaps all summer.
When Dewey found it all in bunch
and destro yed it he at the same time
destroyed the only government in the
Philippines. We We're therefore held
responsible by international law for
the maintenance of law and order
there until government could be es-
tablished. We had charge thrust
upon us. We all know these facts
but to recall them may help to dispel
the fallacies of those who sympathize
with our enemies.

The Few Unpatriotic Soldiers.

A few ambitious fellows now in the
Philippines who think they are pOliti'
clans, occasionally write home de-
nOuncing the action of our government
in trying to establish law and order
there. These fellows are not much
better than traitors. Their places
ought to be filed by patriotic boys, of
whom there are plenty here ready to
go. Atkinson. Hoar, Bryan and few
of their political followers repeat these
same unpatriotic sentiments. But
this feeling against our government is
the rare exception among our soldiers
as is shown by the letters sent home.
Below we give an interview by the as
sociated press OF Capt. +. f. Eastman,
of the Fourteenth U. s. Inf. who AZ
rived in Chicago May Huh, on sick
leave. 1t fairly represents matters
there concerning the action of the gov
eminent toward the Philippines. He
says:
People in the country who talk about the war
on the part of the Philippines being for indie
pendence do not know what they are talking
| about. 1t is II war Of a few schenIing selfish
leaders who have rcSOrted to desperate methods
| to secure a following. Not only have they lied
| and miSrepreSented things in every possible
manner, but they also have reSOrtcd to intimi-
dation to keep their leaders together The
threat of death has been held up as the fate of
any who refuse longer to fight the Americans.
Even to counsel peace was to invite possible
death.
The FilipnOs are brave but they lack the
| qualities the American sOldier.pOSScSSes. Their
craftsmanship is dredfully poor and they are
poorly Oflicercd. II theyhad been good marks
men, the mortality in our ranks would have
been something frightfu for our troops have
been exceedingly reckless in the manner in
which they have exposed themselves in battle.
This accounts largely for the fatalities which
have come to them. Time and time again. when
good cover was offered our men would
stand up in the open and calmly pick out their
men. OF course this Is bravery but it has been
the cause of many deaths. Had we been OPP
posed by foe skilled in the use Of firearms, |
tremble to think what our death lists would
have been. But at the same time this reckless
courage has gone long way toward terrifying
and demOralizing the FiipinOs.
The volunteers have shown the most superb
courage. 1t is needless to say what the regulars
are. They can always be counted on to do what
ever Is asked OF them and have proved them
selves to be the best soldiers in the world. In
my opinion, the war is nearly over and within u
month peace will be established in l.uZOn.

There is occasionally an editor who
thinks it bright to say that the most OF
the women who take part in the Moth
ers' Congress are old maids. Some
facts concerning that noted body that
has for it's objects education and refor,
nation, as we'll as some facts along the
line of their work, would be more to
the point and would do more good per,
haps than ridicule. The National
Mothers Congress that is to favor
Iowa with it's presence next winter,
meeting in Des Moines, will be adj
dressed by many speakers of national
and international reputation. Each
will be an authority in his or her line.
Among them will be authors, educa-
tors, psychologists, physicians, reform
ers, philanthropists and workers in
every line that has to do with the child
from the cradle to maturity. When
we know that crime costs this country
more than education, we will perhaps
conceive that some subjects of vast i'm
portance may appropriately he consid-
cred by those most interested in the
welfare of the young. We anticipate
that the congress will be interesting
and instructive to our great state.

We get our word peace from the Latin,

meant, compact, bargain, and the root
word. pact is allied TO Greek word

into the words OF Jesus in John IA: ~, and
what wonderful declaration il is Christ
making a compact with us; Christ fastened
to us. Christ fastened TO us brings peace
to the soul. The world cannot give this
peace, for it has it not. Some military
commanders boast that when they are
through with a campaign the country is at
peace. Often this peace is there because
the cities are ruined. the homes destroyed.
