Five Hundred Rounds Each Taken.
TAYABAs, z. 1.
July Is, 1000.
Well the band boys just got their
lsrags and a thousand rounds OF am
munitiOn aud they remind me Of boy
with a new pair Of red top boots. Ii
gives them a change and they are anx-
ious to have the gugus come down on
t us as soon as possible. Ever since
they got to hear bullets whistle for
two days, they have been anxious to
hear some more of The same kind OF
music.
/ am happy TO state that since the
rainy season set in and consequent
cooler weather the health OF the regi-
ment is improving rapidly. Co q now
makes the best showing In the regi-
ment with only one man on the sick
list. | think the evils OF the rainy
season greatly exaggerated.
Capt Newberry OF Go L Is one OF
the bravest men on the island He
delights in taking few men and
looking for ladrones in the hills at
night. He generally finds his game
Yesterday he made wager with the
Colonel that he could capture a Ia
drone without going out OF town.
BY nine O'Clock last night he had his
man and with a rope around him they
forced him 10 lead them where there
were three more. In recent report
sent into the Adjutaut Generals Office
Capt. Newberry says: II took one man
and surrounded the house He Is
often gone for week or two with
only dozen men.
The three band boys who have the
smallpox are doing well and DOW walk
around the outside Of the house where
they are confined and we can talk to
them from The opposite side of the
street. Their faces will be free from
marks. thanks TO the goou nursing
they have had. Uncle Sam certainly
knows how TO take.care or his sick.
Ii everyone could have the treatment
they have had there would be fewer
deaths for this disease.
No doubt you are tired OF reading
Of fruit But must montion new
arrival. II looks and tastes like q
pear, but weighs about three pounds.
In my last said pineapples were
most unhealthy, the juice Of the plant
is deadly blood poison and 1t Ii with
this the natives poison their spears
and arrow points.
The soldiers leaving the Phillip
pines for China carry five hundred
rounds or ammunition Imagine the
the soldiers who went to fight Spain
carrying that much ammunition for
the old Anticipated springfield rifles.
No war ever found the United States
ready for Ii, and never will while the
people kick on having an army large
enough at least for police force.
have word for the old time fid-
oilers OF Monongalia county. At Knox
vile, Tenn, there Is an old Fiddlers
club composed OF the old dddlers for
miles around. They meet at Knox
vile once a year. In the morning
they get together and talk OF old
times. In the afternoon they have q
rehearsal and at night concert that
is attended by people from all over the
state When in Knoxville j attended
both rehearsal and concert and enjoy
ed them greatly. Now there is no
reason why the old fiddlers OF Monon-
gala county could not do the same
thing | am sure they would find SO
much enjoyment in it they would
never give up their annual meeting,
and they would receive plenty OF en-
couragement, for only musical frauds
turn up their noses at the old time
fiddlers. / respectfully suggest that
Prof. d. Wiedman take this mat
ter la charge and that the fiddlers Of
the county get together and organize
society on the same lines as that OF
Knoxville.
Word has just been received from
Washington that we will be among
the first seven regiments to 60 home
and will be mustered out at Fort
Sheridan, Chicago, june both 1901.
We will no doubt start home in De
cember. The men here are happy
lot tonight for this suits them exactly
as they will now have time To recruit
their health before having to go to
work
Our concert last night was one we
will have cause to remember. We
had played selection from Lohen-
grin and commenced a Fantasia on
my Old Kentucky Home, when the
moon rose from the horizon on the
China sea and passing over little
clear space of sky disappeared behind
the clouds. 1t was simply grand,
wish you could all have seen it.
