Crossing the 1'alianan River, navigable
for a considerable distance, Polo, the first
station in the Providence of Bulacan, is
soon reached, where n pile of wrecked iron
marked the site of the passenger depot.
The town. located on both sides of the road,
is estimated TO contain about 1000 In
habitantS.
One of the officers explained that the
next station. Meycauayan, where the
railroad buildings were in ruins, was really
named after an Irishman, one Michael
Ryan. who had settled there. The pro-
nunciation of the word is SO similar to the
proper name as to make this explanation
seem probable. Here | received n wire
from Mai. Stanton directing me to meet
him at San Fernando.
At Marilao, breastworks of stone blocks,
used by the insurgents, extend on both
sides the road. Between this and the
next station, Bocaue, marking stones,
separating church and private lands. are
especially noticeable over the rice-fields
One of the officers remarked that the church
lands must sooner or later become the
property of the United States Government
if they did not already belong To it, When
interrogated on this point his explanation
was that in the Treaty with Spain our
Government paid 20 millions for the public
property, and as the church lands were
practically indentical with those of the
state, they really belong to our Govern
ment. This appeared to be the opinion Of
other officers whom ] met on the next trip.
particularly Capt. Palmer, of the 9th
Infantry, who thought that if the Gov
ernment would promptly take control of
this property the claims of native and
actual holders could be readily adjusted
and all ground for future instructions
removed.
At Bigaa Station the ruins If church
and dwelling are apparent to the west,

The banks Of the Rio Agno, which
separates Bautista from Bayambang, were
lined with natives as We crossed the bridge,
some fishing, but mere engaged in bathing,
which with carabaCS hauling carts across
the ford above. native boats on the stream
| and various kinds of birds seeking their
evening meal, made quite an animated
picture.
At Malasidui station more burnt cars
were standing on a switch. The town is
to the east Of the road tamid cocoanut
groves. We learned here of a rice planta-
ton of 10000 acres for sale. located 10 the
east of the town. The uncertainties OF
titles here Just now would preclude one
from buyinC real estate even at a low
figure. San Carlos, the next station. is also
located amid cocoauut groves Its depot
building and freight house are, as usual. OF
brick. At CalaSiaO We found similar
station buildings and more burnt cars.
The dust from tile road by this time had
converted all the Americans on the train
into natives so far as appearances went,
and so it was quite satisfactory TO arrive
at Dagupan in the dusk of evening. After
supper. | accidentally met the tallest man
in the L. ). Army, young soldier, the
Sergeant Major of the 36th Infantry, who
is six feet seven inches in hight.
No nettings were attached to the sleeping
machines at the hotel. and the landlord, an
American. told me there was not a mos
quito within 40 miles. If such were the case
they must make rapid time because one
made a mark of my forehead within five
minutes after | had retired. They were
comparatively few, though. and the night
proved cool enough for a blanket. / was
awakened about 4 n. m. by the noise Of
bull-carts arriving from the country with
loads of rice, cane and other products.
One of the officers told me that he had
known the town of morning to be liter
ally packed with these carts, some coming
from n distance of 80 miles. The markets
were perhaps the most lively portion of the
town observable next day.
On my return trip, Gen. Fred d. Grant
and staff took the car at Angeles and had
opportunity to ask him if he would accept
the nomination for Vice-President if offered
him.
Just let them offer it to me-" he said
with a smile. I'll take it all right"
The General, according TO one Of his
staff, has very careless way of taking
long walks and rides in the country without
ali escort.
Another daring man on the car was

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON Co. THURSDAY.

Marks Of shell thrown from Admiral
Dewey's fleet, Feb. Z, '99, are visible on a
brick building near the station. Long
trains of cars were standing on side
track to the west, near the works, with the
woodwork burned off or partially smashed.
Commodious nipa thatch barracks are
located to the east, now occupied by the Sd
Infantry. The town is said to contain
some 10000 inhabitants, and was the first
outside of Manila to be captured by our
troops. We caught a glimpse Cf the town
of Malabon to the westward Just after leav-
ing Caloocan, which also received few
gifts in the way of shell from our feet.
Its church, which can be seen from the Bay,
is one of the finest in the Province of Manila.
In an isolated pond on the west side Of the
track | noticed some native women in the
water above their waists, and Lieut.. Kill
bourne informed me they were engaged in
catching mud-fish. However dry the mud
may be in any old cavity Of the earth,
when filled with rain, the natives manage
10 catch fish i'll il: and the statement comes
from several sources that they even dig
them out Of the mud in the dry season
and revive them in water. From this il
would seem that those prospectors who
have been unsuccessful recently in locat-
ing gold might do better to stake out a
fish mine.

are visible from the road. Capt. Gose, OF
the 9th Infantry. expressed the opinion
that when the battle occurred there in
November. the fire Of Col. Smiths guns
in an entirely separate engagement at
Conception 10 the northeast had an inn
portant bearing on the result at Bamban.
When the insurrectoS heard the sound of
that engagement, fearing an attack on the
flank and rear, they Immediately gave way.
They poisoned the springs in the cut before
going, a circumstance discovered a little
too late by some of our men.
Near CapaS, small station between
Bamban and Tarlac. | noticed numerous
thickets of rattan. none of which grow
about Manila. COncepcion, some four
miles east. has fine brick church and
some $1,000 inhabitants. At Murca,
another small station, large lilac bush
in front of a nipa cottage. with flowers in
full bloom, was suggestive of dooryardS in
our Northern States. A great quantity
of large. heavy timbers, hewn and squared
by hand, was piled here awaiting ship
ment.

Surgeons of the l2:h told me that he had
treated the same woman month previ-
ously as a charity patient. Lieut.. Haber-
son turned the property in to Gen. Otis.
More crippled engines and burnt cars were
standing on the switch at Corona, and men
were putting q new roof on the station.
At "Washout," where the Engineer
Corps made important repairs, an armored
car was standing on switch, which was
effectively used i'll the advance here. The
claims of the road against the Government
must be offset in some degree by the restora-
ton of the road-bed here destroyed entirely
by foods.
At Paniqui several well-built store
houses are noticeable at the station, an
extensive stone structure among them
owned bya Chino, who has fine residence
near. At Moncada We're immense stacks
of rice under cover awaiting shipment.
