NORTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Letter from Price Lloyd, Who Is
Fighting for Uncle Sam in
the Philippines.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Price Lloyd, of Rockwell
street, who is now on duty in the
Philippines being attached, in COM
pany with number of other Scran-
ton boys, to company a, Forty
volunteer infantry:
Dansal, P. l., April II, 1900.
Dear Fricnd
When we first landed at Dansal we drove the
Filipnos out OF the town and they have re-
turned but once since then. We had big
battle with them on Jan. 2s, which lasted five
hours. Our loss was eight wounded, while theirs
was As killed and II wounded. We made
charge on them, chasing them out of their
trenches and captured four cannon and six
prisoners.
We had it very hard on guard duty at first.
We had to stay in the trenches day and night,
and the cooks had to bring food around to
us. 1t is 4 little better now, have a
fence of cocoanut trees built around the entire
town. There openings every hundred feet,
in which the sentries placed. | don't think
they can come in us to do any damage
of any account.
The night after the battle | referred to above
we had more trouble with them. Several of
them sneaked into the Town and started a fire
and before we could stop the flames
half of the town was in ashes. The population
of Dansal is 5000, so you can readily see that
we have to keep our eyes wide open, numbering
only 200 as we do. We had several little brushes
with the insurgents until Feb. 81, when about
thirty soldiers, of which party was one, took
trip up the river in a boat.
Going up had pleasant time, but COM
ing back the fun commenced. without warning
we fired upon from both sides OF the river,
| the bullets coming like hail storm. We could
see the smoke, but the thick brush the river
banks successfully concealed the enemy. The
| major commanding us ordered to fire at the
points from whence the smoke came. This we
did and when the firing ceased and the smoke
had cleared away ii was discovered that our
loss was only one man killed and one wounded.
We did not learn the extent of the enemy's
| loss until the next day, when went up on
foot and captured one of their sergcants, who
| told us that the Filipino loss was 10 killed and
| i3 wounded, which | think is a pretty good rec.
| ord We are about to take a trip up the river
| to Pclar, so | must close this letter.

ed Foreman Anderson and demanded
an increase in their wages. They were
met with a prompt and emphatic re-
fusal, which seemed to greatly anger
and excite several of them, especially
Broadbent, who is a powerfully built
man.
The strikers accordingly withdrew
to one side of the road, retaining their
picks and shovels and began to taCno
and jeer the men still at work. This
angered the latter and hot words pass
ed between the two factions. For2-
man Anderson, realizing that one sin-
gle avert act would lead to general
and perhaps bloody riot, secretly dis
patched a messenger to the North
Scranton police station after an of
ficer.
In a few minutes Patrolman Saltry
appeared on the scene with Mounteu
officer Burke, who lives nearby.
Just as they arrived a happening
occurred which had it rot been for
their appearance would have led to
a general fight.

on the head of Charlie Bitiger, an
Italian who had refused to quit work.
The latter turned and returned the
blow, whereupon Broadbent again
raised. his shovel and was about to
deal Ritiger a terrific blow on the
head with its edge when the police-
men grabbed him and placed him un-
der arrest. There were ominous
threats from the strikers while this
was being done, but they soon quieted
down.
Broadbent was lodged In the station

the company will press the case or

half drew their pay and will not ga

evidence at every election booth. and
the friendly rivalry which existed was
a source of general comment. Prior to
6 o'clock a light vote was cast, owing
to the many voters being engaged at
their daily labors, but from that hour
on, there was a continual string Of men
lined up at the polls ready and anxious
to cast their votes.
From an unbiased point of view, the
general sentiment was in favor of
William Connell for congress, his op-
ponent receiving n complimentary vote
from personal friends in many dis
tricts. In the Fifteenth ward. David
