The practice of tho St. Thomas Col lege foot ball team Inst evening was tho fastest signal practice ever seen In Scranton. It was full of ginger from start to llnlsh nnd overy man got Into tho play. The Villa Nova men, who are coming up with the avowed intention of giving odds of two to ono on their team, may run against a bigger sur prise party than Harvard encountered when It met Yale, or Yale did when It went up against the Princeton tiger. St. Thomas Is playing harder, faster and fiercer than ever betoro In her his tory. Every tackle is made with a vlclousness that means business, nnd overy run and line buck Is made with a determination and dash that nothing short of marvelous defense can atop. Every man on the team nnd overy substitute is in tho pink of condition, nnd this means that Villa Nova will have to keen on edge all tho time In order to be In the gamo at all. The game will he called at 3 p. m. on Thanksgiving day. Admission will be only twenty-five cents. A rope fence and a largo number of police ofllcers will keep the Hold of play absolutely clear. 'Parties holding tickets since last Sat urday's gamo will have a Inst chance tomorrow to have them exchanged at the college for others good on Thanks giving day; otherwise they will not bo able to witness what promises to be one of the greatest conetsts ever seen at Athletic paik. Athletic park yesterday presento.i a busy appearance. AH over tho field were scattered players, coaches and enthusiastic rooters for the elevens. The St. Thomns college men were on the field, presenting a sttlklng appear ance In their now foot ball suits and looking formidable enough to eat up any team In tho county. Their nrst team lined up against the scrub elev en and was given a hard and thoroug.i practice. A new face seen on tli team was that of Tom Hannahue. I he former School of Lackawanna playi He played left guard and may be iU tloned In that position In tomorrow's big gamo with Villa Nova. This con. test promises to bo one of the most Interesting games of the season and has undoubtedly aroused great ench i slasm and expectation. Three of Villa .S'ova's star players are familiar fig ures on the Scranton giidlron, being Captain Nnllln at end, Joe Weir at (luarterback and M Munliy at tackle. All of these nie old St. Thomas men. St. Thomas, however. Is getting good hard practice and will give the strong college boys a lively time to dfea-. them. In another section of Athletic park, the Scranton High school champions were Indulging In a heavy practice, preparatory to Thanksgiving's game at Binghamton. The boys, together with a large number of the team's rooters, leave Scranton, Thursday morning about; 9 o'clock, via the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Manager Horan arranging the terms with all who wish to accompany the eleven. John J. Murphy was on tho field yes terday and gave the boys the benefit of his advice, coaching them on both defensive and offensive tactics. The scrub team lined up against the regu lars and gave them tho most severe practice that they have yet experi enced. Harry Vaughan, the regular's right end, played In the scrub yester day and caused much enjoyment to the onlookers by downing his oppon ents with a frequency find violence which was appalling. Jim Horan was also on the field in foot ball togs, and played with tho regulars. The scrubs all played a fine gamo and It Is mor3 than likely thijt next year's High school team will find several of this year's second eleven, in regular posi tions. The High school is displaying good form and ought to win on Thanksgiving as they will put a very strong team In the Held. No. 33 school foot ball team would like to play the Dunmore High school second team on the morning of Nov. 29, at 9 o'clock, on the No. 9 school grounds. Answer In The Tribune. Jo seph J.

Climate Is Vory Enjoyable and tho Mombcrs of tho Regiment Are En Joying Good Health Perils of Warfaro Against tho Natives. They Ara Ingenious nnd Treacher ous Principal Part of tho City of Cobu Wns Reduced to Ruins by the Guns of tho Spaniards. Spoclal Correspondence of Tho Tribune. Cebu, Philippine Islands, Oct. 12. Tho Nineteenth regiment of the regular United States Infantry, of which I am n member, Is comfortably quartered In tho barracks used for a, good many years by tho Spanish soldiers. I nm In good health and enjoy soldiering In the Philippines much better thqn I thought I would. I received a package of Trib unes yesterday and am very grateful for them. It Is a great treat to get papers from homo when one Is 0,000 or 7,000 miles away from his country. Our stay hero will bo short, ns we are now under orders to move to El Fardo to take part In another battle with the natives. Cobu H tho capital of tho Island of Cebu, nnd hns a population of about 40.000. The streets are nbout forty feet wide, but nro vory dirty. The city Itself Is laid out In foreign stylo nnd was at ono time considered a very nlco pity, hut the Spaniards bombarded It before they left nnd tho principal part of the town Is a mass of ruins. Tho other part of the town Is built mostly of bamboo houses or huts, as we would cnll them In the states. The population Is mostly composed of the natives of the Islands, though thero nro quite n number of Chinese here, hut not near as many necordlng to tho population ns there are at Manila. NOT AS BAD AS PAINTED. I thought when I arrived hero that I would find tho Inhabitants much worse than they are. They are, of course, very Ignorant, but very ingenious as well, as they can make almost every thing from a needle to a house. In a tight place they make their own am munition, by using charcoal for their powder, and moulding their own bul lets. They give us considerable trouble In being able to do this, and nro able to keep us from capturing them, as they generally have themselves pretty well fortified. Ono of the forts that wo captured the other day was trenched clear around, and this trench was large enough to hold three hundred men. In front of that was a bank from four to six fept wide and about Hve feet high. It would keep a regiment from taking tho fort, with nfty good American soldiers be hind It. In front of the fort and on each side of It they had trenches dug. six feet deer and nve feet wide, nnd Inside of the trenches they had bam boo sticks, whittled down to sharp points, and stuck solid in the ground. Tho top of it was covered up with leaves, so that if wo ever undertook to take the fort at night, many of U3 would have fallen on these man klllers, nnd consequently would have lost their lives. But tho Americans are getting too shrewd for them and do not undertake nnythlng at night any more, so that we -are coming out ahead In all we undertake. Here In Cebu the police are nil na tives, and even they are not to be trusted, though the government pays them $30 per month. Ono of them was caught the other day with a lot of our ammunition pulling for the hills. As the insurgents have a number of our guns, it looked suspicious, so he was put under arrest and brought back here. The city Is under martial law and everyone has to bo at homo at 8.30 p. m. A squad of our boys patrol the city every night, and any ono caught on the streets after that time is taken caro of for tho night. Tho climate hero is not as warm as I thought It would be, and I do not see ns It Is any unhealthlor here than It Is In tho states. Our company has men no healthier than any com pany, and wo only have one man In the hospital on account of sickness. Of course a man has to take good caro of himself, and not cat every thing the natives do. If he does the fruit, naturally, will make him sick. DON'T ENLIST FOR PHILIPPINES., I have been here now nearly two months, and will say for tho benent of anyone who reads this not to enlist for the Philippines, unless they want to see some hard times, as there Is no use In kicking after you get hero once, hut do your duty ns a soldier and you will come out all right. A good many papers of the states have criticised General Otis a good deal. While he Is not a perfect man, nnd probably has made mistakes while here, ho has done well and deserves the prnlso of overy American for hold ing the Filipinos down ns well as ho has with such a small army, as ho has had here. Tho hardest trip In my short stay here, was on Oct. 1 when we started on a trip over tho mountains, on n ono day's march, but were gono three days. In one place, In climbing tho mountains, we had to strap our guns on our uaeks nnd pull ourselves up by tho roots, and In coming back we waded a cree for live miles, sometimes In water three feet deep, and were for over thirty-six hours without any thing to eat. Such Is life In the Phil ippines. I see by The Trlbuno the Thirteenth has reorganized. Success to them, nnd may tho boys of old Company II have ns much success as wo had In Camp Alger, Camp Me&de and Camp McKenzle. Tho Scranton boys in this regiment are nil In good health, and would of course like to be back In Pennsylvania, but aro doing their duty without a murmur. James Vaughn, of Tunkhannock, Is a member of my company. Ho Is u good soldier and has a good many friends In Scranton. I noticed also In Tho Tribune that Captain Hewitt, of our regiment, was recruiting In Scranton. He Is our com pany commander, and Is still attached to our company. He was nt Ponce, Porto Rico when I Joined the com pany last April. William J. Boyce, Co. K, 19th Infantry, Cebu. P. I. 1 1 1 APPOINTED FOR THREE YEARS. County Commissioners S. W.
