coeoanuts, etc In the swamps are found large quantities of bamboo and nipa, kind of long grass with wide blades. both of which are extensively used in building houses.
 Tn the mountains where cultivation Is impossible, timber, such as camphorwood, mahogany and ebony may be found in great abundance. Besides this, these mountains are known to be very rich in coal iron ore and marble, as well as gold. silver and copper. The timber and mineral resources of the island, strange 10 say, have met with comparatively limited de. yelopment. The Igarrotes seem to have been very successful in mining gold up in the northern mountains. Officers who have been campaigning in that section of the country repC>s that many of the natives have been found with very large gold nuggets in their possession, which they claim to have crushed out of quartz by means of large flint rocks, although they assert that washing the sand from the beds of small streams has proven more profitable than crushing quartz A consid erable number of men have lost their lives prospecting for gold in these mountains, and it is said that they were killed by the Igarrotes, who are a savage race of people and resent this trespassing by the Ameri- cans. Many people here expect to develop another Klondike in these mountains soon it Is at all safe to work among them.
 T am now captain of the port and com manding officer of Sexmoor, P l., a town of eight thousand population, and since my arrival here on March 1 I have met great many intelligent Filipinos who write A. B. after their names and are as good types of gentlemen as you would care to see I have more invitations to dine now than I can well attend to- I took dinner with the president of Sexmoor last Sunday, and to say that I was surprised would hardly express it when I saw the table. It was about fifteen feet long, overspread by a beautiful fancy table cloth, and was simply burdened with the most elegant silver service and genuine chinaware. The dinner was served in fifteen courses, not including five different brands of Spanish wines After dinner Senorita Mercado, the presidents daughter, played some very nice selections on the piano, and while listening to this beautiful music I caught myself wishing that people in the states who think the Filipinos are lot of un- educated savages might just peep into this home and take note of its refinement and the wonderful culture and talent displayed by it's inmates.
 q enclose herewith a copy of Aguin- aldo's march, which was given me by the Senorita Mercado. It was composed by Aguinaldo's adjutant general While he (Aguinaldo) was on Dewey's flagship

A LETTER FROM
 FAR AWAY LUZON
Young Alabamian Writes Inter- e8tingIy of the Philippines.
LIEUT.. FRANK VI. GLOVER
Talladega Boy Who Is Serving in Al st Infantry Tells of Insurrection and the People Some of Their
 Customs.

Frank w Glover of Talladega, formerly a second lieutenant in the Third Alabama volunteers, and now first lieutenant in the Forty-frst United States infantry on duty in the Philippines, writes the follow Ing interesting letter to his father from Sexmoon, Luzon, under date of March 29, 1900:
 My Dear Father:
 ''I have been thinking for some time of writing to you and giving you true statement of the condition of affairs in the Philippines, but have scarcely had an opportunity until now on account of changing stations so often during the past two months.
 Prom the reading of American news papers l gather that the Philippine war is a thing of the past, and I admit that this bush -whacking and murdering of Ameri- can soldiers that we have now to con tend with deserves not to be dignified by the name war, but the spirit of insurrec- tion is almost, if not quite, as predomi- nant as 1t was one year ago. The fact is, they have been taught a severe lesson which has convinced them of the folly of attempting to offer fair fight to the Amer jeans, and this has resulted in the break ing up of large forces of insurgents and scattering them in small bands of from ten to twenty-five men commanded by at least one officer who Is required to main tain communication with headquarters of the department in which they are operat- ing by means of mounted couriers. These small bands have orders to attack no force

Olympia. The music has never been pub- hshed and there are very few copies of 1t in existence, although all Filipino bands play 1t, and the natives almost worship it They have adopted this march as their national air.
 There are several peculiar but beautiful customs prevalent among the natives here that had almost forgotten to tell you of. When young man wishes to court a sen- orita he walks past her house and throws some little present to her If she picks the present up and kisses it, her doing so is considered an acknowledgement that his suit will be acceptable; but if she throws the present back to him it is a sign that she rejects all advances on his part An other of their customs requires that great respect shall be shown to old women by all young people. In all homes where there are grandmothers the young people salute them upon rising every morning by kissing their hands, and the grandmothers in turn utter short prayer for the blessing of the young people
 When any one dies a chorus of twelve senoritas sing over the corpse all during the following night. In a Filipino be- trothal the senorita presents to the young
 man an engagement ring, which he wears until the marriage, when the ring is re- turned to the bride

 regards to all inquiring friends I am your affectionate son, FRANK w. GLOVER. First Lieut.. fist Inf, Com'd ding Sexmoon.

Of American soldiers unless of inferior numbers and importance. and to confine operations mainly to ambushing patrols and wagon trains. Less than one week ago a captain, first lieutenant and twelve American soldiers were patroling through a small barrior in the Subig swamp when all at once a voley was fired out of the houses by which they were passing, and the lieutenant, a sergeant and one private dropped dead in their tracks. Of course the patrol opened fire and killed a good number of insurrectos in addition to burn ing the town, but that did not and can never compensate for the loss of three good American soldiers, who were shot down without the slightest chance to de- fend themselves. We are doing everything in our power to run down these bands and kill them out, but it appears that as fast as we kill them others spring up to take their place. I rounded up a band of Tulisannes day before yesterday and cap- tured their leader, captain of the in- surgent army, and ten guns and some two hundred and fifty rounds of ammuniation most of which were dum-dum bullets.
 This kind of warfare is liable to con- tinue for the next ten years, but God for give the maniw who says give up the Philip pines for being a traitor to his country and his flag, after the murder of so many American soldiers who have given their lives for the honor of their flag.
 'The most intelligent and better edu- cated Filipinos are assisting the American cause very materially in giving informa- ton as to the movements of the insur- gents. They talk very sensibly about the matter and have no doubt as to the final issue of the struggle. They also say that If the Americans were not here it would be either the Germans or Japanese, and that they prefer the American form of government to any other because it ad- mts of larger liberties and more individual freedom among the common people than any other government.
 "The most striking characteristic of the Filipinos is their scrupulous regard for cleanliness of person. No matter how poor they may be, their clothes are all ways clean and nicely laundered, and most of them bathe their whole person at least once day. The Filipinos as a race are industrious. kind-hearted and affec- tionate. Another remarkable thing about them Is that, although they manufacture and drink many alcoholic liquors and wines it is rare indeed that one of them becomes intoxicated. I have only seen one drunken man among the natives since landing on the island, and he was what we would call half tipsy.'
 Now I shall attempt to give you brief sketch of the resources of Luzon island. do not believe there Is one foot of land on the whole island that is not productive of some useful commodity. All of the low lands are or have been in state of cultivation and yield abundant crops of rice, sugar, hemp tobacco, corn, potatoes (sweet and Irish), tomatoes, corn, bananas.
