Der of very interesting letters from his
son, Major George II. Penrose, who is
now at Manila. Major Penrose was
placed in charge of the general hospital
at Manila, his immediate superior be
ing Colonel Lippincott. who is chief of
the medical department. in che Philip
pines.
The major writes interestingly of the
life in the islands. On Chriatmas day
he gave a dinner to his fellow officers
that was one of the most elaborate
affairs of the holiday season. Major
Penrose had a short time before dined
at a private house in the city, and at
the dinner was much delighted with
the music which was furnished by ma
tive singers. His hostess was Sd pleased
with the compliments he paid her that
she kindly offered to furnish the same
musicians for the majors dinner. She
likewise decorated the table with rare
Manila flowers. one piece of her handi-
work being a centerpiece in the form of
an exquisite battleship. The dinner
was a most pronounced success. a
feature of the menu was a number of
mince pies, made of mincemeat sent to
the major from the states by General
Penrose. All of the guests agreed that
mince pies. parta5en of when the tenn
perature ranged between 80 and so de-
greeS, were a novelty.
The health of the troops in Manila,
Major Penrose states, is unusually
good. The Utah batteries are notably
the most rugged and healthy organ
izations in the islands. The greatest
difficulty which the medical staff has
to contend with is the smallpox. The
natives do not seem to fear it at all,
and ii is only with much trouble that
they are kept in quarantine when Suf-
fering from the disease.
Major Penrose says that his own
health has been splendid since his ar
rival at Manila The climate seems
to agree perfectly with him, and he has
increased in weight from 125 to 40
pounds.
