three years ago, | would ever get SO.

But to-day after many hardships and
dangers / find myself quietly domi-
ciled at the Courtal de Mecsic the

dolbt you would like to hear something
of my experience and my tripfrom San
Francisco to Manila. For after all
it is quite trip when you consider
the distance to be travelled, over seven
thousand miles.
There is one thing that / dread and
that is my return trip, but that will
| come later. At present | will try to
give you an account of my experience
since leaving Frisco to the present
time
It was on Sunday, June 26th that
found my battery on board the trans
port steamer Ohio, and Monday eve
ming we passed out the Golden Gate,
leaving behind US all that we hold
dear, some of us perhaps never to re-
turn. and all for what? To make a
new country to plant Old Glory be-
yond the seas to bring freedom to an
oppressed people, and let them taste
how delicious is the nectar freedom
that we enjoy so much.
| / am not likely soon to forget my
first night out from Frisco, it was the
/ roughest weather we experienced or
the trip, and | think it was rough
enough to pay up for the rest, could
almost take oath that the steamer
turned bottom up, but | suppose il
was Imagination. Well by the time
we arrived at Honolulu, we all had
our sea legs on, and were all begin
ming to enjoy the trip, and | do say
that / never enjoyed a stay at any
place as our short stop at Honolulu,
The people seemed as though they
could not do enough for US, and al
the boys had their share in the gooe
times, but our stop was only foul
days when we again proceeded on oul
way to Manila, and it was dreary

thing to break the monot0nous calm
and eternal sunshine OF the voyage
was in passing the Ladrone group, Il

Cavite weary tropic stri cken soldier
A month of tropical seas, of con-
servatory sultriness, of quarters too
narrow for half our number has left
US little life or spirit; perhaps the
sight of Old Glory and of Dewey's
fleet at Cavite will waken as up bit.
But at present we are a sleepy crea-
ton tit for nothing else than lying on
main deck smoking cigarettes. That
evening we passed into Manila bay
and saw in the distance the City of
Manila that we had come so far to
capture. Then more than all of this
loomed into view Dewey's fleet,
how grand each ship looked, a group
indeed to be proud of when you con-
slider what fine work they did on that
Sunday morn the 1st of May. Well
the next day we were landed at Cayite
the Notifications Dewey had captured.
From here we had a good view of the
destructive work Dewey did to the
Spanish fleet, eleven wrecked strewed
the beach and lay sunk in the bay
standing as grim sentinels q proof OF
the American deadly aim. Our stay
at Cavite was short and soon orders
came for the Third Artillery to go to
| the front, and then it was that we
/ began to see real service. / will
never forget our first night in camp.
1t was after dark when we got to the
place we were to occupy and were
halted and ordered to pitch tents, we
had no chance to select q place fer
our tents that night but just wher-
ever our place came, there would We
lay our weary heads, it SO CHANGED

the troops first went into camp here
the natives made them beds OF cane-

price they asked when we came. The

Death from Heart Failure.

Fred Cox, the IA year old son of
Mr. and Mrs Peter Cox, died al,
the home of his parents east Of
this city, about five o'clock this
morning. The direct cause of his
sudden demise is a mystery, but
from the circumstances surround.
ing the case, the only cause Of
his death is thought to have been
heart failure. Yesterday he per-
formed his usual labors about his
fathers farm. and in the evening
he partook Of a hearty meal. Re
firing early he slept we'll all night
but about five o'clock this morn
ing his parents, who were up al
the time, heard the boy give a
short cutlery, and fastening to his
bedside they found him dead.
His untimely death is a terrible
shock to his parents and friends.
The remains will be buried in St
Johns cemetery Thursday. Fu-
neral services conducted from the
home at 3 p m.
