m THE PHILIPPINES.

The following extract is taken
from a letter received by Frank
CULLEN, of WHY, from his brother,
ID. r, CULLEN, Of Company G., First
Tennessee Volunteers, and dated at
Manila February 9.
a" Last Saturday night the insur-
gents attacked the American forces,
and you can bet the Americans
made it hot for them. We had TO
fight them three days and nights,
but when we advanced they began
a retreat, and we have had them
going our way ever since.
"Our battalion (the third lay
in reserve all the time, and we did
not get much of it, but we lay near
and ready and waiting to 20 to the
firing line. The first and second
battallions got there first.
Judging from views we had of
the battlefield, the insurgents loss
must be 1000 at least.
dewey has had some of the fun,
by shelling them. 1t is estimated
that as many as 100 insurgents have
been killed by single shot from
one of his battle ships. They have
shelled every little town within 16
miles of Manila.
Well, Frank, we are on board
the Steamer st. Paul now, and will
go to Iloilo, about $50 miles from
here, and where we will have some
fun, l guess.
"You may not hear from me in
a good while again, but don't get
uneasy. l must close, hoping to
hear from you soon. Give my best
regards to all, and write often to
Your brother,
ID, f. CULLEN"

in visiting his grave here and the
graves of his wives, also his late house
which is called The Beehive and the
Palace of Amelia just across the street
from it. At the last election the city
of Salt Lake passed into the hands of
the Gentiles and now the anti-Robert'S S
people and the MormanS are having a
warm time. We have a chance to
read both sides every day. We went
to the Norman tabernacle last Sunday
and heard reports from their returned
missionary to Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. also a sermon from their
preacher giving us the reasons for De-

prophet and many other things. The
immense building said to hold 10000
people was we'll filed. The temple is
never thrown open to the public: only
the saints can enter there. Jacob
