He Was Surprised.

A Second Lieutenant recently grad
uated from West Point, had just join
ed his regiment in Cuba and was
standing near the palace in Havana,
when a grizzed and unshaved old
soldier, wearing cavalry sereesnt's
stripes on his breeches, a blue shirt,
and campaign hat, stepped up and
stood near him. The young soldier
fidgeted at the manner in which the
trooper ignored his proximity, and
then turned on him sharply:
"'Here, you man, did any one ever
teach you how to sslute?'
ayes. SIR drawled the trooper, as
be glanced al the Youngster.
"Well, knock your heels together,
said the Young officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision
of an old soldier.
"'Now salute he said, and the
troopers gauntlet came to the rim OF
his hat and stayed there until the
young lieutenant answered it, at the
same time demanding: Now remem.
Der this, and don't let it happen again,
What is your name, and what do you
belong TOP
"Without relaxing his position from
attention, the old trooper again re-
spectfully saluted, and remarked, dry
ly:
"'My name is Samuel Sumner, and
I'm brigadier general of the cavalry
brigade."'

Everything here is quieti and we
have fair prospect of spending the
wet season here, which is fast appros-

rivers oveI1)w and the roads are one
mass of black, sticky mud. This may
be different, however, as the u. S. is
repairing the roads now,,engaging all
the FiIipinos they can get, for the
job. The Filipino works for twenty
cents day and his board and is ma
king good money, for 20c is lots Of
money here. They only wear a
white pair of cotton pants and shirt
and these will last near year.
What has become of Farmer? He
has not written in long time, and
would like to hear from him.
We have penitentiary here now
and it is full of Filipino robbers and
cut-throats of all descriptions. Some
of these robbers killed two Cinnamon
above here lately and their bodies
were found floating down the river
here to-day. So you see they are as
bad here about numbering people as
anywhere else. A soldier was killed
in Manila, by stsbbing in the back,
but no arrests have been made. In
fact, Manila is the worst town on the
