ST. Louis Soldier Writes Home From in
Front of Manila.

front OF Manila.
Post Dispatch.
The family of Albert E Fout, q
member of Battery d, Sixth United
States Artillery, who is attached to
the Adjutant Generals office at the
headquarters of Mejor-Genersl Otis
at Manila, have received letter
from him, dated January 6, 1899
Among other things young Fouts
says the lines Of the Fil;pjnos are
not over 300 yards distant from
those of the Americans, aud that the
natives are acting progressively. The
Americans, he says, are looking for
night attack on the part of the
Fiipinos, but Dewey keeps the
searcblights of his vessels on the
enemy lines, and as far Ms they
reach it is as light as day No
movement of the euemy can be made
without being seen.
Ia bis letter young Fouts states it
would be a mistake TO give up the
islands, He believes, from CONVEX.
sstions he has had with merchants
OF all Oatioualitlea in Manila, that
the interior will show rich gold de
po>Is, which will cause = greater
rush, as scon rs peace prevails, than
there was "a the KlCndike
The headquarters of Gen Otis are
crowded every day with applicants
for privileges and permits Nearly
every nation on the face OF the globe
is represented by these applicants.
Labor is cheap and the weather
fine, the troops being in the best of
health and spirits and ready TO fight
with the FiIipinos and renegade
SPauiards Fout says the army is
supplied with the best of everything
and Gen Otis is well liked by all
who have anything to do with him
Accompanying the letter was
copy Of the proclamation issued
January by Major General Otis to
the people of the Philippine Islands

Gen Otis is expected TO keep
troops in the field until the ratiges
lay down their arms, but each indi
vidual band must be dealt telling
blow before it will surrender.
1t is known that Aguinaldo has

knowledging American sovereignty
His influence over the natives is

perhaps would be willing to stop

1t is not uncommon for an entire
regiment of Americans TO be engaged
with Filipino outposts, and such
skirmishes have become daily oc-
currences As long as this continues
it Is unsafe for travellers TO venture
outside the American lines
Secretary AIger says that this
state of things will not be permitted
long. He is satisfied that General
Otis is taking steps to do away with
il, but is awaiting the regulars on
the way to him before beginning an
campaign.
Major General Lawton, who serv-
ed throughout the Cuban campaign,
will reach Manila the latter part of
