THEY LIKE IT IN MANILA
But the Boys Are Not in Favor Of
Expansion.
THE RAINY SEASON ENDED
The Montana Troops Are Getting Very
Restless and Dissatisf1 I'd With
Their Position They Want
to Cat Home.

Alderman Knowlton is in recent of a
letter from his Son, Lieutenant Knowl-
ton OF the Montana troops in the Phil
ippines, dated Nov. 4, which contains
considerable interesting matter. Elk
tracts from the letter read:
I don't think very many of the SOL
dlers here are in favor of keeping the
islands. They are undoubtedly valua-
die, but if our statesmen who favor
expansion had to stay here a few
months and do garrison duty, they
world change their minds.
I'VE are in Manila now and like If
much better than Cavfte. I have gain
ed four pounds since we came here
and now weigh almost as much as
when l left home. I have had good
health since I came, but nearly every
one else has been on the sick list
Inc rainy season is nearly over and
the weather is getting a little cooler,
or rather, little less not. We drill an
noul from TO a. M, ard then we
don't do anything till p. M, when We
nave street parade for 80 minures
we stay in the shade during the day.
me boys are getting very restless and
ossa tlstled, and no one blames them
we didn't come here to live in old
warehouses and give street parades for
the benefit Of few generals. Every
one thinks we will get orders to start
nome inside OF two months and l hope
we Will, for l don't want to stay here.
1 can't see any opening here for an
American without money, and with
money one could do better in Montana
Probably if we hold the islands there
VIII be some good positions, for skilied
mechanics, because Americans will
make lots of improvements Every
thing is behind the times, but Amerl
can capital would remedy that. Our
quarters are in lumber yard and I
have good chance to see how they do
things here. They saw all their lumber
by hand The logs are all hewn square,
t1oated down the river and hauled un-
der a shed by, hand and then two Chi
namen cut it up into boards. 1t is a
slow process and no one but China
man would do such work
There are no docks or wharves for
ocean steamers and they have to I'M
load onto lighters, or coscols,' which
are towed up the river to the ware
houses. 1t took us nearly IL days to
unload our ship, and it was loaded in
two days in San francisco.
Labor is very cheap. The natives
work for 81 a day, Mexican money.
The writer gives a, description of the
inhabitants and closes one letter with
the remark:
1t Is a population that will cost our
government millions to control and
don't believe it is Sgasd policy to take
them" 1~~~-~
In another letter Lieutenant Knowl-
ton says:
The health of our whole command
is good. There are a few cases of
smallpox, but it isn't spreading. Our
men have all been vaAcinated and the
doctors say it won't bother us. The
Montana regiment has good reputa-
ton and we are supposed to be fight
ers, although we have had no oppor-
tunity to demonstrate it, and I don't
have any idea we will have"

BEEF INQUIRY MOVES WEST.
Court Transfers Sittings to Chicago,
Omaha and Kansas CITY.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE war de-
partment court of inquiry held a very
brief session yesterday, the last before
their start for the west, where they will
inspect the packing plants of Chicago,
Omaha and Kansas City. There was
but one witness examined, Lieutenant
Frederick l.. Munson of the Ninth in
fantry. He said that during his service
in Cuba up to the surrender Of Santiago
his command had as meat component
of the ration, bacon and canned roast
beef in the proportion of about 10 days
Of the former to l5 days of the latter.
Until the surrender he received no COM
plants of the canned roast beef, but
after the surrender his commissary SER
geant reported to him that something
was making the men very sick. They
did not know what it was, but thought
it was something they had eaten. After
eliminating every other factor they
could think of, they concluded it must
be the canned roast beef.
The court adjourned to meet in Chi
cago on Thursday.

No Trouble With These Natives

WASHINGTON, March "A cab.egram
from General Otis at Manila indicates
the satisfactory and agreeable reception
accorded TO the American troops which
recently landed at the island of Negros.
They We're sent there by General Miller,
in command of Colonel Smith, to take
formal possession for the United States,
which he did without trouble. Previous
to the time the troops arrived, a COM
mission from the island visited General
Otis, saying they were willing to sur
render and asking that he take the in
habitants under his protection. The
congratulatory dispatch to General
Miller by the natives is gratifying, as
it is believed there will be no trouble in
dealing with the natives Of that island.

weather here is warm and clear and the
prediction is made that the backbone Of
the storm is broken. There have been
only four days out of the past 56 on

blowing in the vicinity of Leadville.
Around Twin Lakes the snow is six
feet deep on the level and in places for
miles it is heaped to a height of 20 feet.
Eight miners loaded with food and mail
left here for Kokomo on snowshoes.
Twenty two men carried large guam
tity of provisions from Pando to Ko-
komo, removing the growing fear Of
famine in the towns on the two aband-
oned railroads, the South Park and the
Blue River. The Denver and Rio

the Midland is open east OF Leadville
and is putting forth every effort possible
to open the road west, so that coal and

need, may be brought in from New

Condition of Range stock.

DENVER, March For the past
month the headquarters Of the National
Live Stock association has been engaged
in gathering reports Of the condition of
live stock on the western ranges. These
reports include almost the entire west,
and cover loss from winter weather and
storms, together with general conditions
for the spring. While most of the cat
tie have wintered well, the winter has
been Of unusual severity, and while
losses are light thus far, the cattle are
as rule very weak and in poor condi-
ton to withstand severe storms Of the
spring. One OF the worst features in
the outlook is the scarcity of forage re-
ported from many districts. Very early
grass is an absolute necessity to keep
MANY of the cattle alive.

reason to expect important news from
Manila within the next fortnight. 1t
has developed that General Otis has
practically completed his plans for a
grand onslaught on the insurgents,
which is expected to deprive them of
offensive power at least. It is probable
that he will form large part of his
force into columns as soon as his rein
forcements are all at hand and will
push these in parallel lines straight
through the jungles, clearing out the
insurgents il every direction as the
troops move forward. The American
troops are getting restless and nervous
under the petty but annoying sharp
shooting of the Filipinos, and are so
anxious to put stop 10 this that Gen
eral Otis has yielded to their desire.
