FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

a Letter FROM Private Hanson, Now
at JarO, Island OF Panay, r. L.
The following letter was received
last week from Bert. Hanson, form.
erly in the TIMES office, and who is
now OF Co. K, U. s. r.:
JARo, May II, 1899.
Dear Fred
/ received your letter of April
9th, yesterday and was glad to
hear from you. 1t is the first news
I have had from Nevada for some
time. About half the mail sent to
the boys here never reaches them,
anyway. We are still quartered in
Spanish college here, and are
having an easy time compared
with the troops on Luzon Island
We have "a hours in the trenches
and "a hours off duty, and the only
hard thing about it is fighting
mosquitoes. There are said to be
1900 Filipionos armed on this is
land, but think 200 is nearer the
figure. Anyway we have them
bluffed so bad they are afraid to
come near our outpost. We have
been here since Feb. 18th, and they
have not made an attack upon us
yet. We only had one good fight
with them, and that was when our
Major got on jag and took three
companies out to clear off the island.
The natives send word TO us every
few days giving US so long to get
out of Jaro; when the time is up
they extend it a little.
The boys are having some hard
fighting on Luzon, and it is not
half as near over as the papers say
it is. All they have done so far is
to drive the Insurgents back. The
rainy season is near at hand and
then very little can be done for four
months. There is evidently some
crooked work being done here.
We see, by the papers, that the
Volunteers are all anxious to stay
in the service, but | have not seen
one that does not want to get out
as soon as he can, and anyway he
can. They have got the cinch on
US, and evidently mean to hold it.
We enlisted with the privilege of
getting our discharge by application
at the end of the Spanish war, but
if you put in an application it
comes back "disapproved," and it
looks as though we were in for our
full term, but we could not expect
much else, considering the gang
that is at the head of things over
here.
This is fine country, and /
think shall stay over here for
awhile il | ever get out of the army.
1t is not so hot here as you may
imagine, and it seems to be healthy
enough. | have been in fine health
since getting over the fever. Print
ers are in demand in Manila, SO are
photographers, and the pay is what
you ask.
We hear great deal about the
gold mines of Mindanao, the south
ern island of the group, and it is
a pretty sure thing that there is
lots of gold there, but man would
want a battalion and light bat
terry to go prospecting there now.
The officers of the Spanish regiment
who came up from there had all
kinds OF gold.
While in Cavite i saw Clyde
Bonham, of Reno, and Fred Gig
noux. They were then doing pris-
on duty at Cavite. / know of no
more to write at present, but will
write again soon. Give my regards
to all the boys who may inquire.
Your Friend,
H. E. HANSON.

Berlin March 9D-The German govern

the news from Samoa. The imperial
chancellor. Prince Hohenloe, Is spending
his birthday which occurs tomorrow, at
Badan Baden and his minister of foreign
affairs Baron Won BuelOw, Is enjoying "A
fOrtnight's vacation in Holstein. But a
well Informed individual says the gov
ernment here IL skeptcal as TO Admiral
Kautz' instructions He adds that the in
struot IONS for "A bombardment were based
on the British and American claims that
Mataafa was contraventing the Samoan
act But the correspondents informant
points out the cOntrayenuOn was not
specified and the government presimes
that II the act was really infringed, Herr
Rose, the German consul could also nave
protested. as his government had In
structed his 10 strictly conform TO the act
The assertion that Herr Rose protested
| against the deposition Of the provincial
| government IS doubted here, as II Is
claimed, Herr Roso was Instructed not
identify himself with Mataafa more
closely than the representative OF the
other powers.
lhere Is considerable curiosity In this
city as 20 the effect tho outbreak VIII
have upon the attitude OF the United
states and Great Britain but the view
remains that the final settlement Will be
in no way changed by tho outbreka OF
histolities. but must be arranged by Th'
joint action Of the three cabinets.
The semi official Post comments calm
ly upon the now situation and says Iha
Germany will remain neutral.
