Slang, +. l., Jan. IL, 1900.
Dear Mother:
You no doubt will be surprised TO
hear from me, after my long silence.
To tell the truth I have not had time
to do anything. We have had a hard
time of 1t the last few days. We left
Manila on New Years night. and we
have been on the hike" ever since.

means. Well, it's what the boys he.
call marching. This war over hero is
like hunting jack rabbits, we find the
insurgents in the trenches and open
fire on them, and, in about an hour we
have the place to ourselves. But, I
want to tell you one thing; they can't

make charge and let out the Ameri

The first place we stopped was at
LasPenis. We went into camp and
that night our outpost was fired upon
and they made things pretty lively all
round us the remainder of the night.
We stayed at this place three days and
then moved on to a town called Blu.

men were wounded on our side; but

found one fellow with the whole top
of his head blown off, and one leg
torn off. He had been struck by one or
the light artillery shells. We resteu
at Bucoor few days and then pro-
ceeded to a place called Emas and
there also had a good fight. There
were three killed and eight wounded
on our side, but I wont try to tell you
about the casualties on the other side.
The next day on our march, we could
see dead "niggers" hanging on the

LEADING COLLEGE GAMES TO-DAY.
INTEREST IN THE HARvARD-wEsT POINT
AND IA-PENNsYLvANIA
MATCHES

The interesting stage OF this seasons college foot
oall Will be reached to-day with several important
ana interesting games The two in which the
greatest local interest will taken will doubtless
be Harvard against the military cadets at West
Point, and Columbia against the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. good many Har-
ward graduates will accompany the eleven up the
river to-day. for the Harvard coaches have been
accustomed to look upon the West Point game as
somewhat of an Indication Of how the team is to
develop. 1t may be remembered that two years
ago Harvard's work very weak until the West
Point game which marked the turning point. From
that time forward the eleven improved steadily
until the victory Yale.
Columbia is going to make terrific effort TO
wipe out the defeat at Cambridge last Saturday.
The Blue and White eleven does not expect to beat
the Quakers. but to make much better showing
than against Harvard. and it is hoped that a good
delegation will go over to Philadelphia with the
eleven.
Yale Will have easy time against Wesleyan at
New Haven, but Princeton is likely to have all
she wants against the strong Lafayette team. The
hrst of the games between the East and West will
be Brown against the University of Chicago at
Chicago. The following is a list of the chief games
scheduled for to-day:
Harvard West Point at West Point.
Yale VS.. Wesleyan at New-Haven-
Princeton VS.. Lafayette, at EaSton
University of Pennsylvania VS. Columbia, at
