 PENARANDA, LlazoN, P. I.
 Christmas Day 1899. DEAR MARGIE.-Christmas gift know you are having good time to- day. but as for me l can only while away the time thinking of what grand time the folks at home are hay ing, and what good things you will have to eat. We are where we can get any thing extra, so you see 1t is not Christ mas at all to me.
 We are now taking muchneeded rest, and. to be sure, 1 appreciate it. We have but very little to do, only keep ourselves in readiness to move at any time. Where we will go next we haven't the falntest idea. We can learn nothing of the progress ofthe war neither can we get any mail.
 We have just learned with profound sorrow of the death of Gen. Lawton. We are all stirred up over it. Gen. Lawton was held in the highest es- teem by every soldier under bis com mand. We had all more or less be- become personally acquainted with him in our recent advance. can say for myself that it has been my pleas ure to receive personal orders from him. He will be greatly missed by his men,
 We have another officer whom the boys hold in the highest possible esteem, and who will be recognized and respected in after years. l refer to Major Joe Wheeler, Jr. We have all learned to love him, and an opportnni ty for us to do 50 will show him how we appreciate his manliness as a mii- tary officer. His personal address is of the most kindly nature. He has never been known to speak harshly to a single man, but he is, nevertheless, more promptly obeyed than any officer who has adopted harsh tactics. It is 8 frequent remark among the boys that they would go in blood up to their eyes for Maj. Wheeler. He commands the Third Battalion and we expect to present him with nice sword when we are mustered out. He IS very attentive to the sick and careful 2 hot i,h ha dangerous to his men. He has often halted when a sb over comes up and and give his men chance to obtain shelter and many times he has dis mounted and gave his horse to some sick soldier who had become too weak to walk. This is & very rare action for an officer. We hope to see him pro noted to colonel.
 What are all the Green Foresters doing? 1 am so far behind 1 can never catch up. Just think 1 don t know what has happened with you since November 9. I have receiv ed only four TRIBUNEs since reached the islands The last one 1 got was two months old.
 I don't have the least idea how long we are going to stay on the islands, but expect we will be here year or more yet. Have you read in the pa pero description of Gen. Lawton' s advance on Tarlac and Dagopan ? Say, you can cut the war news out of the papers and send the clippings to me.
 We have had but one death in our company. Our barber, James Leary, from Massachusetts, died the ? inst of malaria. He was one of the heartiest
