will write you a short letter to-day
as have not written home for q little
over a week. IL Is not Of yery much use
70 write though. for the mails do not
leave here very often. ! suppose that
when you get one letter you get about
four or i've. You will probably think
am dead before you get the first letter
that l wrote from here, for we got In
here Nav 18th, and the trst msil left
June llth. almost 4 month. The reason
for this was that they had the plague st
Hong kong and did not want TO send the
mail that way. but held IL for q transport.
The rainy season has begun In good
earnest now. IL rains nearly al the
time, aud has for week or more The
fioor Of my room Is all shost now where
IL has beaten In around the windows,
but fortunately everything else keeps
dry. A typhoon has been going on for
the last three days, so that no boats
have yentured out on the bay. The
result Ia, we haven't had much work In

that this letter will 90 on the Warren
too, and YOU will only get IL two or
three weeks before Beede Cummings
gets home, for he Is going 20 start East

and make visit before going back TO

Was fired from the LunetS at noon oy
the two light batteries, and al the war

the afternoon there Was = band concert
on the Luneta by our regimentAl band
and Filipino band. About = thousand
native children were around the band
stand with Gags, and the Declaration Of
Independence Was read 20 them In Eng
lish oy the chaplain Of the Colorado
regiment. he put lots OF energy into
the reading Of Il, but hardly any OF the
children could hear him, the wind blew
so hard. snd not one Of them could have
understood it anyway. | suppose he
wants 70 90 home and say that he Was
the first man 10 read the Declaration OF
Independence in the Philippines. There
il something ridiculous in thinking that

Independence Day when ~ the same

Everyone In the regiment Is well as

are sick. ALFRED a. SrARBiRD.
