BEBNAItD HAGGEIITY ELECTED.
A meeting of Company C, of the Thir
teenth regiment, was colled Inst night to
elect a second lieutenant to (111 tho plnce
of Llcutcnnnt Murphy, who hns nccepted
a commission In the tegular servlco. Ber
nard Hnggerty, who Iids been noting as
lieutenant for some time, was chosen fcr
the placo nnd duly elected.
LEFT THE HOSPITAL. Frank Wor
ell, who r as taken to the Lackawanna
hospital Inst week, left tho Institution
yesterday morning. When ho was taken
thero ho wns In nn unconscious and
very dangerous condition as tho result
of an overdose of morphine. Ho was
given vigorous attention nnd yesterdny
was Judged able to dlcontlnuo treat
ment. FOOT BALL GOSSIP.
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. Campbell, manager.
Two Ways for the Coat of One.
To enable those who may desire to
celebrate Thanksgiving Day by an In
teresting Journey, the Lackawanna
Railroad has arranged to run nn ex
cursion to Niagara Falls and return at
an exceedingly cheap rate. This rate
will be one fare for the round trip.
Tickets will be sold at this point on
November 29th nnd must be used on
trains leaving before midnight of that
day. Holders of these tickets will be
returned on any train leaving Buffalo
before midnight on December 4th. This
will cnablo those who make the Jour
ney to spend five full days, if they da
slro at Niagara Falls. This Is one of
the most delightful times of the year
In which to vlslt Niagara Falls. The
Journey over tho Lackawanna Hall,
road, too, Is an exceedingly pic

ARMY LIFE ON
ISLAND OF CEBU
NINETEENTH REGIMENT IN OLD
SPANISH BARRACKS.
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
