published in the states and from one
TO four Of the leading journals from
each city. Much reading matter Is
furnished by the Young Mems Chris
i tian Association of New York City,
and much BY the warm hearted peo-
pie of the south who have not forgot
ten the soldier boys who were with
them in 1898. Not 10 have known
1 these noble southern people and en-
joyed their hospitality Is To have
missed much for which life Is worth
living. Every soldier Of the Spanish
war has little place In his heart he
keeps sacred To their memory.
We are not playing for guard mount
this week as SO many soldiers nave
been sent gu hikes there are not
enough left to change the guard
Ia mg last | spoke OF the death Of
Charles Brant who was a great favor
| lie in the regiment. 1t was afterward
t learned that he was not dead but
held as prisoner by the insurgents
who were making him cook for them.
1 The colonel sent them word he would
give Filipino captain in exchange II
/ they would bring him In. They
started with him and when within
two miles Of town met a party of bolo
men who cut Charlie TO pieces Three
companies were at once sent out aud
they captured the gang and brought
them In. If the whole gang were
shot there could he no doubt about
| having the right ones.
! Many Spanish prisoners have been
brought In during the last few days
and there are still about 400 In this
province. The Filipinos had captur-
cd all the Spaniafds on the islands tx.
cept few In Manila who were protects
ed by the Americans. The Ameri-
cans got here just In time not only to
save the Spaniards but to save the
lFilipinos from themselves
We have three kinds OF maIariai
feyers here, the worst Is about as bad
as yellow fever, but not contagious.
We lost one OF the brightest young
men in the regiment with this dis
ease, Sunday, and he turned black as
soon as dead. IT soldiers would eat
no fruit and drink boiled water and
nothing stronger than coffee and very
little of that they would have little
trouble.
We have no oranges on this side OF
the mountain, but Just fifty-two yafie-
ties OF bananas, our fayorite Ii large
banana with a green skin and golden
colored meat. Miss Barton would
call IL a poem, but we find them all
hard 10 digest. There is medical
oil In, Mr. t<x ~
says people ought TO about live on
bananas as they digest In the first
stomach. The writer probably refers
To cast iron stomach that turns with
a crank like a corn shelter.
The woods here are full vi pineap-
pies and all kinds OF tropical fruits
except oranges, but II all means troub-
le for us. find plenty OF red pepper
and peppermint In the woods and
there Is enough ginger and chocolate
to supply the world without missing
any
Nearly every family here that can
afford IL has singer sewing machine.
There Is more work ON them than
those sold in the states because they
must be made SO they can be taken
off OF the table and set on the floor
and turned by hand. The women are
SO accustomed to sitting on the floor
they will not sit on chair and run
the machine with their feet. The
machines sell here for much less
money than they do In the states but
the American who objects to this Is
deficient in charity.
got another fine Filipinos musi-
clan this week. He was ten years Id
a Spanish army band and afterward
leader OF the insurgent band under
Col. Malolis. He ranked ais a lieuten-
ant and was paid by the priest In
charge OF the church here. He now
makes more money as private than
be made as leader with the insurgents
and is delighted with the change.
Aggie has Just ordered all Spanish
prisoners killed who try to escape.
see Joe Miller has started q steam
laundry just what has long been need
ed in Morgantown. l hope he will
get the bulk OF the trade. Joe is y
good citizen and hustler and deserves
all the good that comes his way.
