A LETTER FROM lLOlLO.
camp Life and other Matters Described
by IA Ripton Boy.

by Ripton Boy.
The following letter, dated at IloIlo,
in the island of Panay. p. l., March 30,
was received recently at Ripton. 1t was
written by Lemuel n. Hamblin of the
26th infantry, L. 5. V :
There Is not much news to write this
time, for companies f. and F. of the
second battalion have been in head
quarters, doing garrison for the last two
months. so we could get rested little;
but it has been but little rest we
have got out of IT. | have been in
charge of the old fort. 1t is used for
prison. and there are plenty of prisoners
too. We have got over 600 Filpinos and
2l3 soldiers in for doing most every.
thing, and their terms If Imprisonment
run from six months to ten years.
Well, my company is going out in two
or three days on an island that has not
had any soldiers on as yet, and we are
expecting hard fight; for the insurg-
ents have been landing in shiploads and
they say that they have got heavy
trenches put up all along the entire
water front. am either going to lead
my company to the highest point we can
get and hoist the old stars and stripes, or
die in the attempt. Of course it will be
all over with me or else | shall be writ
ing you another letter by the time you
get this. | will describe some of the
weapons that the Filpinos use. The
main and their best arm for fighting is
called "bolo". OF course they have
got Mausers. carbines and the Reming-
ton and japanese rifle. The last is
made on the same plan as the Winchester
repeating, only they do not know how
to use them-that is the substance of it.
Another implement they use Is the dag
ger and spear. These are roughly made,
and consequently it is very dangerous
to get wounded by them, as some of
them are poisoned and would cause in.
slant death.
| will have all kinds of relics to bring
home when | come. | will try and
bring home cocoanut Just as pick it
of from the tree with the shuck on.
You supposed right when you thought
we were dressed in light cotton clothes.
OF course the reports you get from us
through tine papers do not tell of the
hardshipS we have to endure, and they
do not speak of the minor battles we
have without some such officer as a
ranking major or lieutenant colonel or
the colonel himself; for we have been in
places where it would keep a man guess

The Real Danger

from heart disease is not the posi-
bility of a sudden death, for they are
comparatively few; but following in
the wake of this dread disease comes
a general breaking down of every
organ of the body. Circulation is
retarded; digestion is deranged; the
blood is contaminated, the nerves
weakened and the brain clOuded. If
your heart is affected begin at once
to guard against these dangers.

thousands who were given up to die,
and it will help you, too, if you try it.

was willing that the Westbronk and
Windham roa1 should build into 6orham
because ths Portland road would get the
business from WestDrook anyway.
Mir. Newman, manager OF the Portland
road, took the floor and said th 1t he had
never said any such thing to any one
and ne wanted to emphasize his denial
that Mr.. X. u. Moodman OF the Wsst-
brook and Mindham road called on him
and talked in u round about manner
about this subject. Mr.. Woodman asked
MIR. Newman II he diun think the West
brook and Windham road could get into
GorhAm quicker than could the Portland
road and then said that the Windnam
road was going to ask the Legislature for
a special charter. Mr.. Newman told MIR.
Woodman that he didn't regard this as
friendly act because the Portland road
had heiped the Windham road in every
way, Ioaning them cars nd giving them
some power at times. MIR. Moodman
said: "Don't lay 1t to me, I'm not the
one who is doing this he then lett MIR.

few in which the English language is
