would like to describe it but have
not the time now. No one can
see these peoples actions and say
they are not loyal to the United
States. Their only fear is that
the United States will abandon
them tothe mercy of the Tagologs,
whom they hate. But rather
think there is no danger. Judging
from the election news Mckinley
and Teddy are the right men in
the right places.
You should have been here
Thanksgiving day. The native
bands started to playing at 8
o'clock in the morning and kept
it up until 10 o'clock that night.
There were American flags every
where, and at night the park and
the presidente's (mayor's) house

were lit up by over two thousand
Japanese lanterns in red, white
and blue. This was all done and
paid for by tn. natives and was
grand sight. They had street
parades and horse races galore
and wound up with a big dinner
and dance to the American officers.

here is much better and more
highly developed than around
Manila. The people of this pro-
vince are not SO lazy as the Tago-
logs and seem to be great deal
more civilized. The second batal-
lion OF the 34th has been stationed
here every since they chased Gen.
Tino up here and released Gilmore
and party. have not had an op-
portunity to see much OF the town
but what have seen has raised
my spirits considerably. We are
quartered in a large convent build
ing adjoining larger church, SO
you see we are very near religion
such as it is. Just across the
street is fine park with band
stand in it. This is the first, last,
and only park l have seen on the
island. Just across the corner to
the left OF the park is the "presi-
dente's" house. | have never been
in it but it looks like palace. 1t
has a fine lawn, with walks and
flowers and is quite relief to our
eyes after seeing SO much mud,
water and bamboo. The quarters
of our officers are just across the
park from us, while we have only
to step out of the back door and
into the river for a swim. Taking
'it all around we are in the finest
place on the island, and | will be
perfectly content to stay here until
we start for home. 1t looks now
as if we were about to start upon
another campaign, and if we do it
will mean that we stay here until
our time is out.
have witnessed an exciting
scene since / started this letter.
l was attracted to the window by
what took for laughter, but soon
found it to be something entirely
different. There were about sixty
native prisoners here and they
have just started them for Manila
under a heavy guard. What l
took for laughter is the wives,
sisters, aunts, grandparents and
grandchildren of said pioneers, 60
ing through their form Of mourning.
Some of the grief seems to be genu-
inc, while great many seem to try
to make all the racket possible. 1t
would be funny if it were not ridic-
ulous to see women with dresses,
the upper and lower parts of which
fail to connect at the waist line by
about eight inches, running around
swinging their arms in the air and
yelling like a lot of Apaches.
They are quoting down now and
l guess the excitement is about
over. 1t kept the guards busy for
q few minutes separating women
and prisoners.
They are having q big celebra-
tion here to-day, on account of
this being the anniversary Of the

bration and they are making

son, Curtis V. Shelton, who is a
member of the band and also a
sergeant in the Thirty-fourth In
fantry, U. S. A., now on duty in
the Philippines. Mr.. Shelton was
promoted for worthy service as a
member OF a scouting party, and it
is something unusual for band
man to win the distinction OF be-
ing a non. commissioned officer.
Mr. Shelton has kindly loaned us
the letter for publication and it is
as follows:
LAvAc, PHILIPPINES,
November II, 1900.
FOLKS AT HONEYWELL we have
moved at last and as consequence
we have not been able to write
letters for some time. We got in
here last night about o'clock and
have not got rested up yet but the
mail is going out to-day SO will
write anyway. We left Cabana-
tuan November II, and foundered
through the mud to Manila. We
got there just at dark on the 9th
day, and went to the landing, ex
pecting to 60 aboard ship the
same night. In this we were dis
appointed and we were compelled
to sleep upon the stone floor OF
the halls in the U. S. Q. M. build
ing (without money or supper.)
The next morning we got little
breakfast and turned our heads
once more toward the interior
We went to Caloocan, four miles
from Manila. We got paid at Ca
loocan and got pass for twelve
hours (noon until midnight) in
Manila. As this was the first time
we had been near civilization for
thirteen months had better draw
line through the next twenty
four hours. There was only one
one company and the band turned
loose and l guess it was good
thing for the provost guards that
there was not more. In company
with a couple of band men saw
as much Of Manila as was possible
between noon and IL o'clock when
the guards run us off the streets.
We could not pass the guards on
our way to Caloocan until S
o'clock SO we were obliged to wait
until that hour and then walk four
miles to our quarters for reville at
5:45. We packed up that morning
and again went to the water front
where we finally managed to get
on the boat which brought US here.
1t was an old horse boat and as

morning before we got started.
As there was about 24o horses and
mules on board you can imagine
what clean sweet smelling vessel
we were on. We stopped at Vigan
Sunday morning and spent the
day unloading IS mules. We
could get no nearer shore than
one and quarter miles so the
mules were hoisted over board,
and with man in the boat to keep
their heads above water, Mr.. Mule
or horse was made to swim ashore.
1t was long old swim but they
were all landed safely. Yesterday
morning we all arrived at the land
ing six miles from the town. We
had to stop oyer mile from shore
as at Vigan, and come ashore in
small boats. The sea was much
rougher than at Vigan and we had
a hard time getting ashore. They
sent eight men and two horses
with each boat, with sixteen natives
to row. / came ashore on the
eighth boat and when we got on
land we were not a bit sorry.

Justice Clabaugh, presiding in Circuit
Court 10. 2. yesterday sustained the de-
r,urrer to the petition of Dr.. Leroy r.
stoddard, asking that a writ Of mandamus
issue against the board OF trustees of
the National Homeopathic Association, to
compel them to admit his patents to that
Institution for medical treatment.
The court held that the matter of the
admission Of patients was largely ques-
ton within the discretion of the board of
trustees, and therefore for them to de-
termine Justice CIabaugh also contended
that the statement of facts in the petition
did not warrant the issuance of the writ
asked for by the petitioner

Stoddard viii ask leave 20 amend the orig

DR.. Stoddard was until recently one of
the attending physicians at the National
Homeopathic Hospital, and in May last
resigned. Soon after he offered his resig-
nation the board OF trustees adopted a
resolution setting forth that after that
date patients of Dr. Stoddard would not
be received at the hospital fer treatment.

SLIPPERY JIa CONVICTED.
Fictitious Pension Examiner again
in the Tolls.

ton of Slippery jim, - who it Is alleged
is an impersonator of special examiners
Of the Bureau. Jim, whose real name
is John Moran, was sentenced this morn
ing to five and half years in the peniten-
tiary at Auburn, having been convicted on
six counts. His method Of procedure, it
is said, was simple, buL usually effective.
He would drop into some rural COM
munity and as remote as possible from
the railroads and go on a still hunt for
aged pensioners. The pensioner rounded
Up, Jim would inform him that he was
a special examiner and that he had upon
his person evidence that the pension was
being drawn Illegally and that the pen
sicner was not entitled to the same. If
such was the case, and it is surprising
how many such eases Jim found, he
would offer to destroy the Testimony in
his. possession if the pensioner would
make it worth while
Slippery jim mas served a number Of
terms for various offences, burglary and
forgery being among the number He
mas spent the most OL MS lie DS1Luu the
bars, and his last sentence is his third
one for impersonating Special Pension
Agents. He just finished two-and-a-
half years term in the Detroit House Of
Correction last April. So great is the
apparent fascination OF this work for
him, that Immediately upon getting out
