FIGHTING DAYS OVER,
Corporal Piper in Garrison at Santa
Rosa.
Embryo InsurrectIun---FIlipI Say
Mckinley Is ono Good"
SANTA Rosa, p. l.,

SANTA Rosa, p. l.,
Province LAGUNA, Jan. %, 1900
At last think our fighting days are over
for a while. Our company left Binan two
weeks ago and came to Santa Rosa with
the promise that we should stay here as
permanent garrison as long as we treat the
natives right, which means that we have
to feed about two-thirds of the population,
and when we buy anything of them pay
about four times what it is worth. They have
grown so bad in this respect that last week
the captain published a schedule of prices
in the market and told the natives if they
charged us any more than these prices he
would close up their shops.
A native police force has been organized
consisting of - "dusky guys They are
arrayed in blue linen shirt, which they
wear on the outside of their trousers,
which are of light yellow. They wear no
shoes and any old hat For arms they
have a club about three feet long which
they use to drive pigs and dogs out of their
way. Each one has a white cloth star
sewed on his noble @ breast with his mum
Der on it and the captain has a huge yellow
star with no number on it. He seems to
feel that if it were not for him the world
would not revolve on its axis. The Santa
most of their time to hanging around our
kitchen cumming chowchow.'
The Filipino ladies of the town have
made us flag 10 by 16 feet which is really
very fine piece of work We had flag
raising night before last assisted by the
Filipino orchestra consisting of four VIC
Inns, violoncelo, flute, clarinet, cornet,
alto horn, snare and base drums. They ia
vored us with THE Star Spangled Ba
ner," After the Ball, aud "A Hot Time
in the OLD Town" just at this time our
cook appeared on the scene with his hands
full of hard tack, which the Filipinos CON
slider great luxury. Immediately there
was grand rush of police, councilmen,
band and spectators, and the ceremonies
broke up in an embryo instruction among
the natives themselves.
There is no prospect here of this war
coming to a close fore the fall cleo
tions. The people here, and it is the same
everywhere on the island, will tell you
that Mckinley is "no good but that Bryan
is very good that Bryan is to be elected
and that then all our troops will be with
drawn from the island and they will have
their liberty.
There is plenty of fighting here every
day. Elmer's regiment, the 43rd, has been
sent to the Negros island together with the
47th. saw the 43d when they landed in
Manila Jan. |, hut was not lucky enough to
see Jack"
Today | am on guard with three men in
the church tower, where we keep look
out all the time. Our knapsacks and blank
cts arrived from Manila today, so we can
sleep with little more comfort tonight
than we have for the last month without
anything over or under u.s. am still well

A Tribute from . Val. senior.

Editor Of The Phenir:-It perhaps
may not be amiss for one who had lust
begun, as 1t were, a course of instruction
under the late Hon. K. j. Phelps to pay a
slight tribute to the great Vermonter, the
distinguished diplomatist and the "big''
man OF Yale. As our honored spokesman,
Ex-President Dwight, said yesterday in
the funeral address: 1.-THE Yale brother
hood has lost one of its most valuable
members, but the results of his influence
and stay with us will always remain here"
His position was unique one and IL will
probably take long time to get lust such
a man as he was to fiji his place. In ad.
dition to his work as a professor in the
law school he offered to the senior class In
the academic department course entitled

v. vi. &. A. Basket Ball Team Lost Two
Games, One In North Adams, Mass,
the other In HOOsick Falls, N. Y.
The Brattleboro Y. M. G. A. basket ball
team was defeated twice last week, by the
SIND separate company team at Hoosick
Falls, N. Y, Friday night and by the Con-
solidated team of North Adams, Mass.
Saturday evening. The score in the first
contest was "a 8 and in the second POLL.
The game at Hoosick Falls was an easy
victory for the home team as only two of
the Bratteboro players were familiar with
1897 rules which were used. Brattleboro's
lineup was as follows: Corser, centre
Allen and Conland, forwards Tufts and
Waterman, guards.
The Saturday night game was shot
one" 1t was witnessed by one of the
largest crowds of the season at North
Adams. The score was tied several times
during the contest, the home team winning
on the strength of squirt made at the
close of the second half. Brattleboro was
strengthened in this game by Howe and
Ferriter, who were unable to be in Hoo
sick Falls Friday night.

News from the Philippines may now

A queer case came up in the Senate
recently, illustrative of the mixed re-
latton which Cuba bears to the United
States. Mr.. Stewart presented a pc
tition from certain citizens of that ISL
and in regard to the landing of cable
there. and moved that it b<sreferred
regularly to the committee on military
affairs. Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama,
called attention to the Senate rule for
bidding the presentation OF petition
from citizens of q foreign country.
Such a petition must go through the
State Department. Mr. Stewart argued
that these petitioners did not come un-
der the head Of foreigners. because
Congress had power to legislate on the
subject concerning which they ap-
pealed, and this view finally prevailed.
