PHILIPPINE CONDITIONS
WORSE THAN A YEAR AGO

Simaloin, p. 1 , Sept. %, 1900
We are now at Simaloin, south
east of Manila, two miles south
of Laguna de Bay and Santa
Cruz, where Gen. w. H. Law
ton was killed. We are at the foot
of the mountains. This is where the
18th snd 37th infantry had their bad
fight the 18th of September, losing
seven privates and two first SER
geants, one second lieutenant and one
captain. We expect another fight in
a day or two, as the native Filipinos
are surrounding and closing in on us.
Several mem 5ers of the 18th and 37th
were wounded. The 10Th came
here with Company L 12S strong two
weeks ago. They now have 80 left.
1 hope the ''niggers" do not kill Com
pany L of the Sth infantry so fast.
We have very poor sleeping quarters.
We are not allowed to drink anything
but boiled water. Every man in our
company has had his hair clipped
close to his head on account of the
heat. My brother Louis is doing the
hair cutting. He's been named the
company's barber.
Good water here is out of the ques-
ton. Our drinking water is taken
out of the muddy rivers and then
boiled.
We have about 40 native prisoners,
one of them a lieutenant colonel. We
make them work pretty hard. There
are four companies of the 37th in
fantry within II miles of us; not over
30 men in company.
This part of the country is just as
bad, if not worse, than year and
a half ago. 1t took US II hours to
come up here from Manila by water.

DREAM THAT WILL BE
REALIZED IN DECEMBER.

An officer of the kindergarten asso-
citation contribute the following:
The other night 1 dreamed l was
passing down Sixteenth street, and as
reached the rink it was evident
something unusual was going on in
side. l entered and pleasing sight
met my eyes. Booths and counters
were ranged on all sides, and for a
moment thought was in bazar in
the east. AT one counter were dis
played ladies' suits, jackets, etc. At
another, hats OF all descriptions, some
of them very pretty; at another,
dishes and bric-a-brac; at others, toys,
pictures. books. groceries, mems
clothing, underwear, kitchen uten-
sils; at one side were heating stoves
and cook stoves, tubs, ashboilers,
etc; at another, two pianos and sew
eral organs; in fact, everything one
could think of was displayed at coun-
tiers presided over by large number
of our best ladies in town. There was
a great crowd of eager people around
each counter, making purchases at a
wonderfully low price, and mum bers
of people leaving with arms filled
with bundles and a satisfied express
sion, showing that they had found
something they wanted. As 1 stood
near the cashiers table / heard her
say, The response to our appeals for
goods for our sale has been so prompt
and so cheerful that we are having a
grand success l woke, and instead
of the first week of December, found
it was yet October. But will my
dream be realized when our rummage
sale begins, Dec. 80"
