PARAG-PARAG, Island of Min.
danao, January 10, 1900.
EDITOR lola REGISTER:
Sir:-If you will kindly allow space
in your columns, | shall appreciate
the opportunity of thus addressing
old friends.
Since becoming q member of the
3lst Inf, U. s. ", have begun to
realize what the "Hoodoo'' idea OF
our colored brethren means. Having
enlisted on July 10 and being as
signed to company f, 1 was soon APP
pointed let Sergeant. After the usual
routine of camp life, varied little by
ten days stay at the rifle range, we
boarded the train August 20, 1899,
and commenced the trip from FIT.
Thomas, KY, to Frisco. Our trip
was not unlike other experiences,
and in good time we were in camp at
Preside, Cal. Here we drilled regu-
larry until september lS when we
were to embark on the 5. s. "Grant"
for Manila. Now the "Hoodoo" made
itself manifest. Small pox was dis
covered in the regiment and instead
of going on the "Grant", We went
part at time on Il government tug to
Angel Island where, until October Is,
we remained i'm quarantine.
Not until October % did we finally
leave for the south on the "City of
Picking" with eight companies, head
quarters, band and hospital corps,
we at last saw California's shore
d disappear from sight.
Reaching Honolulu November 6
we found the "Manuense," an Eng
lish ship carrying one battalion OF
our regiment, and learned that she
WAS in bad condition and we must
stay with her the rest of the trip. She
left about twenty fours hours ahead
OF us and we made good speed until
we caught her, when we began a
game of hide and seek. Day after
day we loafed along while the poor
fellows on the other boat took turns
boiling water and shovelIng coal.
At last, after thirty days and eight
hours we reached Manila. Here our
Colonel reported, and after the other
com panies had been taken from the
"Manuense" and two companies put
on our boat, two companies and their
stores on another boat, we again
started.
Reaching Jolo, Island of Jolo, our
Colonel went ashore to report to Gen.
Bates, only to find he had left. Fol-
lowing him to ZamDoanga, Mindanao
Island, we disem marked and stayed
until Dec. 10. Our Regimental head
quarters ere established there while
Major Brett took station at Cottabato,
1870 miles distant with company Il,
subsequently REINFORCED by COM
panies g and II.
CottabatO, Dec. 20.-Our Captain
was ordered by Major Brett to take
station at Pallok, a small town on a
bay ten miles distant. Here we spent
Christmas and on January 8, again
received orders to move, this time TO
Parang P arang small.townthree and
a half miles across the bay, our pres
ent station. We have thus far had no
clash with the natives and are under
very strict orders regarding our treat
ment OF them. They run loose among
us wearing their arms and are very
proud of their "Bolos" (Knives.) To.
morrow the resident "Datto" expects

forces Its Anti-scnIpcr Rule.


Unless the Passenger Bureau I'm
forces It's Anti-scaIper Rule.
Dallas, Texas. August 31-Mr. E. P.
Turner, general passenger agent OF the
Texas and Pacific railroad, reached Dallas
at 10 o'clock tonight from an out-of-town
trip, and was seen at his home in Oak
Cliff by The Post correspondent. Mr..
Turner reluctantly admitted that on Au-
gust % he had given notice to Chairman
Pratt OF the Southwestern Passenger
bureau that on September % he will with
draw from the bureau unless dealing with
ticket brokers is broken UP by increasing
the penalty to not less than $1,000 and en-
forcing the penalty rigidly. He said:
Competing lines have been violating, the
agreement and the present penalty has no
beneficial effect against the evil. I mean
business this time and the penalty must
be made at least $1,000 and as much higher
as the bureau may see fit to place It.
am willing to observe the rules and other
lines must be made to do so. / do not
care to specifically state the names Of the
guilty lines; IL is unnecessary. l did not
in my letter to Chairman Pratt mention
the lines that have been violating the
agreements, but the evil is sufficiently
grave to justify our withdrawal"

the scope and efficiency OF the school. He
