Says Everything Is Quiet but the Soldiers Aro Kopt Busy Island of Ncgros Practically Settled Now. Mounting Guard with Twenty-one Men Leprosy Prevalent on Cebu Island Band Played 'A Hot Time" at a Funeral Natives Are Lazy. Special Correspondence of Tho Tribune. Corporal William J. Royce, of this city, who is now In the Philippine Islands, writes another Interesting let ter to The Tribune, which is here printed, us follows: Camp Churchman, Cebu, P. I.. Dec. 11, im Everything hero at tho present time Is quiet, but wo ure kept on tho alert at all tlmcM. so as not to let the enemy take us by surprise. In tho Island of Lu.on they aro having soma trouble, but 1 think that it will soon cease, as the Tagals tiro gelling pretty wdl scattered, und us seon as they surrender Luzon, no doubt they will surrender nil ot tho Islands, as that Is their ptlnclpal lighting ground. At least we hope so here, us wo nro getting pretty tired of chasing them over the mountains of Cebu. The island of Ncgros is practically settled now, nnel thu people thero are re turning to their wotk, betlor satlsll.vl than they have been for years, ns the Americans are lotting them have their own way und will, If they keep lu their place. Thu Nineteenth Infantry ns well as most of the re-gular regiments. Is pretty well scattered. Tho First battalion Is on tho Island of Luzon, the Second battalion at Hollo, on the Island of Panay, and tho Thliel battalion has headquarters here. Simon Snyder, our colonel, is governor general eif the Island of Cebu, and Is do. Ing his work well, while Major James, eif tho Twenty-third Infantry, has chargo of tho post. Thanksgiving dinner was eaten under dltllciiltles. ,Wp ore now camped about seven mlle-s north of Cebu.TJtid about two miles from tho enemy's strongest forts. As our company is alone, It Is a very paitletilar position, as well as a danger ems one, so wo have to bo Very careful with our movements, as thero is no tell ing when they will attack us. We b-ft Celm on tho morning of Nov. 29. ono ilny before Thanksgiving Day, and marched out he-re. Wo pitched our dog tents that night, and tho next day com menced to tlx up our camp in a plowed flelel for a permanent camp. ENEMY DID NOT ATTACK. Tho enemy sent word Into Cebu that they would attack us that nlRht, but they did not, und I guess it was well for them that they did not, ns well ns for some of us, as wo aro In a valley nnd tho enemy aro on tho hills, so they would had the best of It as far as tho position Is concerned, as well as having many more men than wc have, but we have tho odviiutngo over them, of being better shots, nnd having more ammuni tion, ns every man In our company had 200 rounds of ammunition. Wo have 102 men now on dutv out of a total of IIS. That Is considered a good percentage, according to tho III wo have been here, and what wo have been through, but the Nineteenth Infant ry is considered lucky. In having plenty ef good men. Wo aro mounting guard with twenty-ono men, so you can imagine what kind of a place wo aro In by the number eif men we have on guaid, as that Is a big guard for a camp of one company. On tho morning of Dec. 5 fifteen of us went to Cebu for rations, expecting to return the next day. On arriving thero wo heard that the insurgents would at tack our e-amp that night, so wo hurried back to have some of the fun, but they failed to make their appearanee, and up to the present time everything is quiet. The roads from here to Cebu were lu u bad condition, so wo have had tho fun eig llxlng up the roads the past week. On this Island there are a good many cases of leprosy, ami it Is nothing to see sev eral cases In Celm daily. It is a sad sight to se-e them, and I am In hopes they will ship them on some Island by them selves, as they should be. If wo stay here long. A funeral Is another sight that ono will never forget. They carry tho corpse through the town on their heads, and If the person is well thought of the band will play through tho stre-cts. On ono eiecaslon tho banel was playing "A Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight." Of course', tluy hail be-ard our band play It nml did not know what It was. They nro very quick to pick anything up. Tho men are, as a ge-neral rule, very lazy, so the women do almost all of tho work, but lu a few years this will be all changed, and a woman will liavo her place lu tho Philippines as well as sho has In tho States.
