BEN FoULoIs IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
uuilo, leland OF Pansy, Z. l., October
20, 1890. You can see by the heading
that we have moved again. This time it
Is Iloilo. Sunday afternoon, the 22d, we
got orders to go to Iloilo, that is our bat
TALON. We were relieved at the De-
posito by a battalion of the 9th Volun-
teers and Monday IN, rning we broke
camp and started for Manila. We board
ed the U. s. cattle ship, Port Albert, and
at IL p. M, Monday night, we started.
We had fine trip all the way down, and
were never out of sight Of land at any
time. Tuesday me rnipg we ran through
n school of porpoises. They kept swim
ming along in front of the boat, for three
or four hours, playing like kittens, all
the time. They were finally driven of
by shark. Wednesday morning we
saw several whales about mile from US.
They were floating along on the water,
and once in while we could see them
spouting up water. 1t was an interest
ing sight to US, who had never seen a
whale. We ran along the coast of PanaY,
and about p. m. we rounded point OF
land and sighted Iloilo. We. anchored
along side of the Concord" one Of our
gunboats. 1t ia the only war vessel here,
and she Is little thing, but she has got
some bad looking guns on her. About
half past five, our company and D. Com
pany landed with all our supplies. We
marched to big building about ten min
utes walk from the landing place. Took
al our equipments II and then went
back to the landing place to unload our
supplies. We worked until midnight be-
fore we had all Of our stuff packed away.
We were then ready to 60 to sleep. This
morning, az was { fl duty, L took walk
around our quarters. On one side, about
a hundred feet from our quarters, is q
large piece OF ground, surrounded by q
high wall. Inside Of it about hundred
natives were at work breaking stone.
They are the prisoners OF the town.
They don't have picnic In there, either.
This afternoon, three Of the boys and my
self took a trip through the town. There
isn't enough left OF IL to call 1t a town, II
Is worse than Manila for ruins. When
Manila surrendered, the SpanisIds Ihere
left the place to the insurgents. So when
our troops FIRST landed they had the In
surgents to deal with. The battleships
in the harbOr bombarded the town, and
as the insurgents retreated they set fire to

Owing to the kindly efforts of Mrs w.
G. Welton, the children Of the North

was Christmas tree, ladened with gifts
which were dispensed by Santa Claus,
who appeared on the scene CLAD in fur
from top to toe and juggling his bells
right merrily. Besides present fer
each child, there was candy, fruit and

tiers of the town was burned down, and
a great many of the houses left standing
we're damaged by the shells from the
battleships. We thought when we left
Manila that we had seen the last of
Cinnamon, but we found them thicker
here than in Manila. Every store or
shop, with the exception of two or three,
Is owned by "Chin," and they all carry
the same line of goods. tried to get a
memorandum book there this afternoon.
l went to every place in the town, but
not one had them. Probably in a week
they will all have them. The people in
many ways are like those around Manila,
only they are not SO much afraid of US as
the natives in Luzon. They haven't been
whipped enough yet. About eight miles
from here in the town of Santa Barbara
the insurgents are pretty strong. To-
day the "Grant" came in with the 3lst
Volunteers. In about q week we will
probably be on the move after the insur-
gents. By the way the transports come
in loaded with troops, its looks as II we
were gong to have some fun here in q
short time. Our company belongs to the
and battalion now, 1t is the senior COM
pany. Under the new order, the COM
