IN The PHILIPPINES
Description of Country and People by
Men Who Have Helped to 5uigu-
gate II.
Batangas, P. l., June Z.


Editor Messenger:
Dear Sir:-With your permission, ]
would k to give a brief description
Of what is going on in this part of the
world. In the first place I must say
that there is no fighting going on, as
they have quit that a good while ago.
It is true that there are insurgents
over here but they are few and far be-
tween One of our officers can take
twenty-five men and go anywhere on
the southern part OF the island. and
they do it.
My captain took thirty men and went
out last week, n captured a major
and about forty insurgents without
any resistance whatever, they just sim
ply lay around and wait for US TO pick
them up, as they are tired of this bus
mess. Our boys look forward to a
scout just as though they were going
rabbi hunting in the states.
There is quite a little business go
ing on here now, as this port is open,
M they are making good use of it as
this is the first time any boats have
been allowed in here for ten years.
The main thing they are busy with
now is sugar, getting it or the mar
ket before the rainy season. There is
an average of fifteen boats in here
every day.
Thursday is the market day here
with the natives and. as a geners
thing there are about 10, 900 of them
here every market day, and it is quite
a curiosity to be down to their market
and see their way of setting goods.
They sell anything from a cigarette
up to a horse.
We are having very little sickness
among the soldiers. but that is owing
to the services of our physicians, as
they are very strict, and attend to
their duties as faithfully as any Off
GERS | have ever seen, and that is the
kind of men we need. as our health
depends on our physicians. The ma
tives are dying out quite fast as they
bury eight or ten every day.
/ attended a big wedding feast a few
days ago, and must say that it was
quite a swell affair for these people
They had an elegant string band, and
/ must say that these senoritas are
very graceful dancers. Everything
had been going on nicely until late ir
the afternoon when an old Filipino
woman about 80 years of age got out
in the middle of the floor and danced
the "hootchie coothchie' and she
danced it very we'll.
