Brooke, were working in entire haI-
mony. General Brooke, he said IN an
swer to a question, was in charge OF
the whole island. Some misunderstand-
ing bpd been caused at first by the
mistake made by the officers at san
tfago who thought that the moneys col
locted at Santiago had TO be sent to
Havana. This was not required, it
heing necessary to send only reports
of the amounts received.

The "kissing bug" is indigenous to
the continent of South America,
Mexico, Cuba and the West Indian
islands, where it is exceedingly
troublesome and annoying to the in
habitauts Of cities or anv locality
where electric or other lights abound.
These insects are dark brown in
color, with black legs and have
sting or prod exactly similar to that
OF the mosquito, only oh a much
larger scale. They seem to hunger
for human blood, and lighting on a
persons chin will puncture the lips
where the cuticle Is thin, with their
sting. This is all done quite sudden
ly and before the victim can drive
the asty little pest away. The
sting leaves an intense pain, the lips
of the victim swell to enormous pro-
portions and unless something is
done running sores break out on the
face and lips.
"The natives Of the countries just
mentioned cure these bites by the
application of ammonia, which re-
duces the Inflammation of the lips,
and prevents their breaking out.

The Various Uses to Which bamboo is
Put.
A Manila lumber yard consists
principally of bamboo poles.
Bamboo is used for everything
from cAnteen for the Filipino SOL
dier, to a ships mast or the princi-
pal timber in the native houses. A
canteen is made by saving off one
Joint of pole about three inches in
diameter, putting an ordinary hemp
string at each end to carry it over
the shoulder. This same device is
used for carrying milk also. The
initiative natives, in the present
war, have even made make believe

pushing up the Pasig river toward
the town of the same name suddenly
approached what looked like strong
Notifications with enormous guns.
At the sight of them our soldiers
were amazed. Where in the world
did the Filipinos get the guns? Why
didn't they fire one of them at the
little navy of the army" and ami.
hilate it? But inquiry only turned
amazement into amusement for the
formidable looking guns were but
Joints of bamboo several inches
across, painted black.
Bamboo poles, twenty to forty feet
long, are used to prOpel the cascos
dixie our canal boats in size) along
the rivers. A native on each side of
the boat puts the pole to the bottom
pear the bow, rests his shoulder
against the end of the pole and pushes
with all his might until he has run
the length of the casco the same as
his companion has done on the oppo-
site side. This is repeated until the
boat has reached it's journeys end.
The navigator family, usually a
large one, lives on the casco, in a
