FROM THE pHlupPlNEs

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Eugene Travis from d.
F CULLEN, Of Company G, First
Tennessee Volunteers, now in the
Philippine Islands, and we have
permission to publish it. The let
ter is dated at Manila December8,
1898, and is as follows:
Dear Friend will write you a
few lines to let you know that The
First Tennessee InfaRtrg Is still in
existence, and the boys are in ex-
cellent health.
We left San francisco November
6, and we reached Honolulu on the
l3. Honolulu is good town, with
a population Of abont 10000, and
the country is a perfect paradise.
We remained in the city four days,
and of course we all had n good time.
l went out in the suburbs. and the
scenery was simply grand, Cocoa
nut and banana groves everywhere
and beautiful flowers and tropical
plants in profnsion. Cocoanutsand
bananas are as common there as
acorns in old Benton, and there are
many fine fruits growing on the is
lands.
We steamed ont from the bay at
Honolulu on the l7th, and never
saw land for nineteen days This
rather dampened the ardor Of the
boys We we're fed on hard tack,
corned beef, potatoes aud coffee, but
had plenty, such as it was.
There was no complaint of the
heat, and all IN al the weather was
very pleasant
We arrived at Manila December
8, and are now anchored in the Bay
of Manila. Manila is good city,
| think, and the boys are better
pleased here than in old Frisco.
The health of the American troops
is generally good, and they are all
right. They are fed very well, and
l don't think there will be any more
trouble with the Spaniards. But
most of the boys think we will have
a scrap with the insurgents before
the thing is over If we don't get
into a scrap, however, after coming
l6,000miles hunting for trouble, the
boys will be greatly disappointed.
| will close for the present, and
will write again. Hoping to hear
from you soon, ] remain,
Your friend,
