From PHILIPPINE.
OABANATuANA, Dec 3. 1879.

Dean Fs1END.-You must, if you
will, pardon : my long continued
silence, but when We arrived in Manila
Oct. "a, there was nothing to write
and this is my first opportunity since
then. We reached Manila after an
uneventful trip, about noon on Oct.
A.We were unloaded about S o'clock
p. M, and put in Fort Santiago, an
old Spanish fort. On Oct 27, we
rode out the railroad to San Fernan-
do, marching from there to Mount
Aroyat, about Is miles north. There
I was assigned to H" Co., of the
22nd U. s. Infantry. The battalion
left for the north to reinforce Lawton
on Nov. IL. The country, to use an
expression of Manila editor, "was
covered with fathomless mud"
A weeks cteady rain had put the
roads in an awful condition. Very
few places was the mud lesss than
three feet deep. And such mud! You
never saw anything like it in the
States The worst of it was that the
oxen hauling the carts carrying ra
tions gave out and we were compelled
to haul them along with a long
rope, taking one a half mile or so
ahead then going back for another.
The first day was not $50 bad. but on
the second day we spent from $50
in the morning until II in the even
ing going about six miles to a small
town called Caboo. The next day
(Sunday) We laid over. Monday we
started for San lsidro, about seven
miles. Only a mile and half of the
road was bad 10 we reached there
about 2 o'clock p. m. The next morn
ing We started again, a couple of US
supposedte be sick were put in wagons
and told to come when we could. The
heavy rains had swelled the rivers
and washed out FIVE bridges over as
many rivers between there and here,
in order to get across they built bam-
boo RATS and after unhitching and
swimming the mules across the wa
gons were run onto the raft and the
raft was pulled across tho rivr by
hand by ~ 'ans ofa rope. We finally
reached here five days after the start,
The doctor sent me to the hospital
where spent week and o half with
malarial fever. By the. time I was
out the battalion had gone on and I
was attached to Go q" of the 24th
Infantry (colored) for rations, and
am here yet, Am having a snap
haven't any duty to do and am get-,
ting three square meals day, no
rain for a week or more, and things
are good and dry. My company is
at San Jose, forty miles north. doing
garrison, and there is no telling when
I'll SEQ them for the government
won't send less than ten or fifteen
mon out at time. The natives are a
peculiar people. In my estimation
they arc q very smart race, though
ligpossnt. The insurrection seems to
b about ended. ....:s>

What Constitutes State2
What constitutes state?
Not high raised battlement or labored
mound,
Thick wall or moated gate;
Not cities proud with spires and trrrets
crowned;
Not bays and broad-armed ports,
Where laughing at the storm rich navies
ride;
Not starred and spangled courts,
Where low-browed baseness watts per-
fume to pride.
No; men, high-minded men,
With powers as far above dull brutes
endued
In forest brake or den,
As beasts excel cold rocks and branbles
rude.
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing,
dare maintain,
Prevent the long aimed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend
the chain:
These constitute state.

DETAILS OF DAMAGE.
HOW THE STORM SWEPT OVER ISLAND
CITY-WELL KNOWN MEN KILLED
-WATER SUPPLY SHORT.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 9.-The first news to
reach this city from the stricken city OF Gal
weston was received tonight. James C. Tim
Minis who lives in Houston. and who is the
general superintendent OF the National Com
Iress Company. arrived in the city at o'clock
tonight from Galveston. He was one OF the
first to reach here with tidings of the great dis
aster which has befalen that city, and the
rpagnitude of that disaster remains to be told
tecause Of his endeaYors to reach home. After
remaining through the hurricane OF Saturday ne
started from Galveston on a schooner and came
across the bay to Morgan's Point where ne
caueht a train for Houston. The hurricane,
Mr. Timmins said, was the worst ever known
there.
The estimates made by citizens of Galveston
were that four thousand houses have been de-
stroyed and that at least one thousand persons
have been drowned, killed or are missing. Some
business houses were also destroyed but most
Of them stood, though badly damaged.
The city, Mr.. Timmins AYERS, is a complete
wreck, so far as he could see from the water
front and from the fremont Hotel. Water was
blown over the island by the hurricane, the
wind blowing at the rate of eighty miles an hour
straight from the Gulf and forcing the sea water
before 1t in big waves. The gale a steady
one the heart Of it striking the city about
o'clock yesterday evening and continuing with
out intermission until midnight last night, when
It abated somewhat, although ii continued to
blow all night.
OF his own knowledge Mr.. Timmins knew OF
only one house succumbing with fatal results.
though he heard Of many residences being car
ried away with inmates. The house that he
saw destroyed was Ritters saloon and restau-
rant at No 2,109 Strand-st. principal street
of the city This three story building was
blown down and nine men-prominent citizens
were killed Among the dead are Charles Kel-
nor sr a cotton buyer for an English firm;
Stanley c. Spencer general manager of the
Elder Demster Steamship Line, and Richard
Lord. manager for McFaddens Cotton Company
whose body is still in the ruins

several walters and customers saved themselves
by jumping from the upper story just before
the crash came
IL was reported that the Orphan Asylum and
both the hospitals were destroyed, and If this
proves true the loss of life will be great,
these institutions generally crowded, and
as they were substantial buildings the chances
are that many had taken refuge in them.
The water extended across the island Mr..
Timmins said it was three feet deep in the ro-
tunda of the fremont Hotel, and was six feet
deep in Market-st
Along the water front the damage was very
great The roofs had been blown from all the
elevators and the sheds along the whapves were
either wrecked or had lost their sides. and were
Of no protection to the contents.
Most of the small sailing craft were wrecked
and were either piled up he wharfs or float
ing bottom side up in the bay. There is n small
steamship ashore three miles north of Pelican
Island, but Mr.. Timmins could not distinguish
her name. She flying a British flag. An
other big vessel has been driven ashore at Vir-
ginia Point, and still another is aground at
Texas City. At the south point cf Houston ISL
and an unknown ship lies in a helpless condi-
ton.
The lghtship that marks Galveston Bar is
hard and fast aground at Bolivar Point.
Mr.. Timmins and the men with him on the
schooner rescued two sailors from the middle
bay, who had been many hours in the water
These men were foreigners and he could gain no
information from them.
A wreck of a vessel which looked like a large
steam tug was observed just before the party
landed.
In the bay the carcasses of nearly two hun
dred horses and mules seen but no human
body visible The scenes during the Storm
Mr.. Timmins said, could not be described
Women and children were crowded into the Ire
mont Hotel where he was seeking shelter, and
all night these unfortunates were bemoaning
their losses of kindred and fortune. They were
grouped about the stairways and in the galleries
and rooms Of the hotel. What was occurring
in other parts of the city he could only con-
lecture.
The city Of Galveston, he says is now entirely
submerged and cut off from communication.
The boats are gone the railroad cannot be oper-
ated, and the water is high people cannot
walk out by way Of the bridge across the bay
even should that bridge be standing.
Provisions will be badly needed, as a great
majority Of the people lost all they had. The
waterworks power house wrecked and a
water famine is threatened, the cisterns were
all ruined by the overflow of salt water. This,
Mr.. Timmins regards the most serious prob
lem TO be faced now.
The city is in darkness, the electric plant hav-
ing been ruined. There is no way of estimating
the properly damage at present. So far as he
could see or hear, Mr. Timmins says the east
end portion of the city. which is the residence
district, has been practically wiped out Of exist
ence. On the west end, which faces the Gulf
on another portion of the island, much havoc
was done The beach has been swept clean, the
lighthouses are destroyed and many Of the resi-
dences are total wrecks.

PORT ARTHUR PARTLY ESCAPED.
SABINE PASS THOUGHT TO BE TOTALLY
DESTROYED.

New Orleans, Sept. 8 (SpeciaD.-The relief
train from Beaumont, which reached Port Ar
thur tonight, found that town less injured than
reported 1t lies on the west bank Of Lake Sa-
bine, about fifteen miles from Sabine Pass,
through which the lake empties into the Gulf of
Mexico, and 1t is the terminus Of the Kansas
City and Southern Railroad. The town is only
two years old, and is owned mainly by the rail-
road, which has erected large wharves, eleva-
tors and warehouses there and dredged chan
mel to the Gulf.
Sabine Pass lies at the mouth Of Sabine Lake.
at a very exposed point. The old town is prac-
tically deserted. 1t destroyed by a storm
similar to the present one some thirty years
ago. and was badly damaged in another storm
sixteen years ago. The new town is about two
miles from the old one The Beaumont relief
expedition could not get nearer to this than
four miles and from the depth and quantity Of
water they believe Sabine Pass must have been
nearly or totally destroyed. 1t is reported that
the population escaped to a neighboring ridge,
and that the loss of life small compared
with the destruction Of property.
