THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.!
The Philippine Islands are an archi
pelago southeast of Asia. They extend
almost due north and south from For
mosa to Borneo, and they separate the
South China Sea from the Pacific Ocean.
The number of islands in the Philip
pines is variously estimated from 1,200
o 1.400, and it was not until the last
Jew years that some of the larger islands
were explored sufficiently to enable
their area to be accurately computed.
According to Domann's map (1882) the
area of the islands was 114,356 square
miles. The two largest islands are
Luzon (area. 40,023) and Mindanao.
Their aggregate area is 62,650 square
miles.
The islands were discovered by Ma
gellan in 1521. and Manila, the capital,
was founded by Legaspi in 1571, and
since that time they have been under
the dominion of Spain. Their conquest
and retention was in marked contrast
to the usual Spanish methods of dealing
with conquered people, methods of
which Cortez and Pizarro are the chief
exponents. Legaspi with six Augustin
ians and a handful of soldiers accom
plished the wonderful work of conquest.
Without greed for gold and without
any exhibition of cruelty or persecution,
these devoted men labored among the
dooile people until they won their con
fidence, so that the islands were seized
with little bloodshed and no massacre
or depopulation. The name "Islas
Filipas" was given by Legaspi in 1567.
Contests with frontier rebellious tribes,
attacks by pirates, earthquakes and
typhoons serve to break up the mono
tony of an otherwise uneventful history.
Manila was captured by the English
under Draper and Cornish in 1762, and
ransomed for $5,000,000, but was restor
ed in 1764 The present insurrections
in the islands were put down with an
iron hand and many atrocities were
committed, so that it is little wonder
that many of the inhabitants look upon
the arrival of the Americans as a de
liverance.
While none of the islands have very
high mountains (the highest, Apo. in
Mindanao, being over 9.000 feet), still
all the islands may be described in gen
eral as mountainous and hilly. Vol
canic forces have had a large share in
shaping the archipelago, but few of the
peaks are now volcanic. In 1814 a ter
rible eruption destroyed 12,000 people
at Camalig, Budiao, Albay, Ouinobatan
-- and Daraca. In 1807 the same district
was visited with another eruption. The
Philippines are also notorious for terri
ble typhoons. In 1576 one of the storms
burst over Luzon, pouring down the
sides of the mountain Mayon, bringing
destruction to a number of cities, com
pletely ruining 6,000 houses. Typhoons
on the coast are also common. The
third great evil to which the islands are
treated are the earthquakes, which visit,
them so frequently that they affect the
style adopted in the erection of build
ings. The most violent earthquake oc
curred in 1880, destroying an immense
amount of property, including the
cathedral.
The Philippine Islands are peculiar in
having three seasons—a cold, a hot and
a wet. The first extends from Novem
"" fW »>±o February or March. The winds
are northerly and woolen clothing and
a fire are desirable, the sky is clear and
the air bracing, and Europeans in this
strange clime consider it the pleasantest
time of the year. The hot season lasts
from March to June and the heat be
comes oppressive and thunderstorms of
terrific violence are frequent. During
July, August, September and October,
the rain comes down in torrents and
large tracts of the lower country are
flooded. The population of the Philip
pines is 7,670,000, the capital, Manila?
having 154,062 inhabitants. There is a
small Spanish resident population and
about 100,000 Chinese, in whose hands
are the principal industries. The native
inhabitans are mostly of the Malayan
race. The government is administered
by a governor-general and a captain
general, and the forty-three provinces
are ruled by governors, alcades or com
mandants, according to their import
ance or position. The estimated reve
nue of the islands in 1894-95 was $13,-
500,000 and the expenditure $13,200,000.
There is an export duty on tobacco and
nearly every article imported in taxed.
The chief products are sugar, hemp,
coffee and indigo, and there are large
coal fields which are now being opened,
so that it is expected that 5,001) tons of
coal per month may be mined. The
imports in 1896 were about $12,000,000
and the exports $20,500,000. There are
70 miles of railway on the islands and
720 miles of telegraph.
Manila lies on the western side of the
island of Luzon and is about 600 miles
from Hong-Kong. It has one of the
most spacious and beautiful harbors in
the world. The shores are low and in
land can be seen the outline of moun
tains. The city of Manila resembles a
dilapidated fortress surrounded by stone
walls 300 years old. There is also a
wide, shallow moat. The gates are
never closed and it is doubtful if the
city could make any defeuse. There is
also an old fort. Several creeks branch
off from the landlocked bay and afford
a means of communication with the
suburbs. These creeks are crossed by
innumerable bridges, and canoes thread
their way through these narrow water
ways. which somewhat resemble a
tropical Venice. Around the walls and
the edge of the bay is a fashionable
drive lined with almond trees. It is
here that the well-to-do inhabitants
walk, drive and meet their friends. Of
nearly 300.000 people in the province
there are not more than 5,000 Spaniards.
One of the most curious sights to the
traveler who comes from China are the
large two wheel drays drawn by so
called water buffaloes. They are guid
ed by a ring through their nose to
which is attached a cord leading back
to the driver, who either mounts on his
back or rides on the shafts. The weight
of the load is borne on the neck by
means of a yoke. The beasts are docile
and th< ir chief delight seems to be to
wallow in the mud and to submerge
themselves so that only the nose is out
of the water. The water buffalo is par
ticularly valuable to the inhaditants as
a beast of burden, as it can drag a plow
and can walk while knee deep In mud.
The milk of the female is very general
ly used instead of cow's milk, but its
meat is unfit for food.
In the two best streets of Manila
there are excellent stores in which goods
of all kinds can be purchased at moder
ate prices, many of the merchants being
Chinese. The churches must have been
imposing buildings years ago before
they were shaken ami in aoine cases
wrecked by earthquakes. They contain
no works of art of any value. The in
habitants are very faithful to their
chnrch and the archbishop possesses* al
most unlimited influence with the in
habitants. It has often been said, if
the priests were taken away.the natives
would be ungovernable. The dwelling
houses in Manila are constructed with a
view of shutting out the intense heat of
the summer. The houses are rarely
more than two stories in height, owing
to the ravages of earthquakes. Glass is
j of course unknown, as the earthquakes
■would shiver every pane. There is coal
in abundance in the Philippine Islands
as already stated, and the streets of
Manila would undoubtedly be lighted
with coal gas if it were not for the fact
that gas pipes would be destroyed in
the unstable soil. Of course, accidents
are of frequent occurrence with kero
sene, but as the natives' houses are very
inexpensive, their loss bj* tire is easily
made good.
Strange to say. life in the old city
does not present many points of interest
to the traveler, for the streets are nar
row and the houses solid and gloomy
It is a marked contrast to the business
like cities of South America. The
Spaniards born in the Iberian Peninsula
look down upon those born in the
islands, so that class distinctions are
very ciosely drawn. This has resulted
in the failure to make political comb',
nations. Hatred and jealousy of the
foreigner are carried to extreme limits,
the Chinese coming in for a large
share of their disfavor. The theaters
are poor, concerts are rare and there is
no library and their amusements are
mostly limited to hearing the band
play, attending balls on Sunday and
cock fights. The cockpits are licensed
by the government, and, though the
betting is limited by law. the citizens
will not hold to it. The revenues of the
islands are furnished by direct taxes on
every Indian, half-breed and Chinese,
and the export and imports duties have
already been referred to.
The dress of the natives is exceeding
ly picturesque and is never adopted by
the Spanish. Cigar makers in and
around the city of Manila number
22,000 and they are all girls and women
with the exception of 1,500 men. They
present a picturesque appearance with
their native costume and huge hats in
tended to protect them from the rays of
the sun. They make their cigars squat
ting on the heels or sitting on bam
boo stools two inches high. They fre
quently come from considerable dis
i tances, going back and forth in beats.
Tobacco has always been and probably
will continue to be the most important
product of the Philippines; and. accord -
i ing to the old laws, the Indians were
, compelled to raise tobacco in certain
regions which were not adapted to
growing it, even to the exclusion of
other crops, but in 1883 the laws were
repealed and the result was the secur
ing of liner tobacco and better cigars,
for they are now made at a higher rate.
The wants of the natives are few and
are easily supplied. They live along
the banks of tne rivers in huts made of
bamboo and cane thatched with palm
leaves. Some of the view* in the
suburbs of Manila are enchanting.

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE.
A press correspondent, under date of
May 7, sent the following from Hong
Kong—The conquest of Manila Bay by
Commodore Dewey will go down in
history as the most remarkable naval
battle ever fought.
From reliable advices received di
rect here to-night it is now known that
the United States' forces destroyed
eleven Spanish ships and captured
eight, destroyed four shore batteries ai
Cavite, and reduced the three forts on
Corregidor Island: that four hundred
Spanish sailors and soldiers were killed
and that six hundred were wounded.
It i.s estimated that the value of Span
ish supplies lost and captured aggrega
ted at least $5,000,000.
The unprecedently remarkable x>art of
the engagement is that only eight
Americans were slightly wounded, and
that the monetary damage waa only
.SI,OOO. The engagement lasted just
seven hours and forty minutes. The
first gun was fired at 5 a. m. and the
Spaniards struck flag at 1~.40
p. ill.
The American sqnadron slipped into
the harbor at night and was well inside
ono or two stray shots from the
Corregidor forts showed that its pres
eace was discovered. Their aim was
wild, however, and they did no harm.
At dawn Sunday Commodore Dewey
began his attack on Admiral Montijo's
fleet. By noon ten of the Spanish ships
had been sunk.
The effectiveness of the American
gunners is shown by the fact that out of
a crew of 400 on the Spanish flagship
Reina Cristina. alone, 140 men, includ
ing Captain Cadarso were killed and
nearly 100 seriously wounded.
Not a man was killed on the Ameri
can ships and the few who were injured
fought gallantly to the end.
The complete surrender of Manila is
a question of only a few hours. Com
modore Dewey can take it at any time
he chooses, for the remaining fortifica
tions are weak, and even a brief "peace
ful block.-.de" would -force a surrender
in a few days.
The food supplies are nearly exhaust
ed, the inhabitants are penned up like
pigs in the old walled portion of the
town and communication is impossible
with the outside world, for Dewey
holds the cable. The .country districts
are completely held by the insurgents.
Some of the Spaniards at Cavite have
even applied to the Americans for pro
tection and it will be granted them
The ships destroyed by Dewey's fleet
are: The Reina Cristina, flagship, and
the cruisers Castilla (wooden), Don An
tonio de Ulloa. Isla de Luzon, Isla de
Cuba: gunboats. General Lezo, Mar
quis del Duero, El Corrco, El Correo,
El Velazco and the steamship Minda
and supplies.
These ships were captured; Ciuiser
Don Juande Austria, gunboats Isabella,
The First Kapido, Hercules, transport
Manila, with supplies, two whaleboats
and three steam launches.
The Corregidor forts made scarcely
any opposition to the squadron's en
trance. The Spanish evacuated almost
instantly, leaving only a commandant
tc formally surrender the fortifications.
They did not even see the Olympia, Bal
timore. Raleigh, Concord, Petrel and
Boston pass in. The McCnllocli was
the only boiK fired upon and she was
not hurt.
Seventeen miles up the bay the Span
iards exploded two mines, but they
"never touched" the gallant Dewey's
ships.
At Cavite the Spaniards opened the
first lire. Dewey made no reply until
his squadron was at close rauge. Then
his flagship, the Olympia, opened the
ball with her eight-inch guns and the
other Americans fell in line with the
grand naval march, each delivering a
storm of metal compliments from their
port guns into the cowering Spanish
fleet. Then reversing they counter
marched, their starboard guns belching
forth a terrible fire.
Five times did Dewey repeat this
maneuver, and on every terrible trip
the Maine was avenged with cool deliber
ate and deadly intent. Closer and clos
er drew the Americans and, like rats
driven into a corner, the Spaniards
fought against their certain doom
At 20 minutes to 11 the battle was re
sumed. this time the Baltimore leading
of with a terrific assault in the teeth of
the enemy, her companions bravely
supporting her
Xo fleet could withstand this attack,
and least of all the terror-stricken Span
iards. What ships were not sunk by
the American shells they at temped
themselves to scuttle or run ashore.
But in this they were only partially suc
cessful, and at I-': 40 Admiral Monti jo
struck his colors, and with as many of
his followers as were alive and able fled
in small boats to Manila.
It was 11 Spanish warships and 5 land
batteries against six American warships
but every shot counted counted from
the latter, while the Dons grew wildly
reckless and burned their powder to no
purpose.
Only once did Dewey cull time for a
breathing spell. At *J.-1> o'clock he
withdrew to watch the results of his
daring attack. He found his own fleet
hardly damaged, while in front of him
Alfonso's ships were sinking and burn- (
ing , ,
This ended tha first day's battle, but
it was onlv the beginning of tee end.
The next day Dewey landed marines
at Cavite, and" completing the destruc
tion of the batteries, they ran up Old
Glory" and established protection for
the Spanish hospitals
One gun from the Olympia made the
wav clear for the marines and blew np
the Cavite arsenal.
Remember the Maine" was the
watchword for Commodore Dewey s
men throughout the fight, and every
man had confidence in his commander.
Had it not been for the eagerness of
the fireman on the McCulloch in stirr
ing their fires the presence of Uncle
Sam's fleet might possibly not have been
discovered at Cavite at all. Their ac
tion caused the McCulloch s funnel to
emit a shower of fiery sparks, and the
next instant there was a boom and a
shot from one of the forts on Coroetfidor
island.
Others followed in quick succession,
but so wide of the mark were they that
the American gunners had to laugh in
spite os their serious position.
Then the Concord sent the first Amer
ican shot :igainst the Spaniards in the
Philipines. The Boston followed, and
for a time the batteries were silenced.
1 hen came the most terrible suspense
and doubt of the entire engagement.
The American ships were passing over
mines that might at any moment blow
them into utoms like the Maine. But
Dewey pressed on as if he knew no fear,
all the time keeping a close watch on
Aguinaldo, she insurgent chief, who
was acting as his pilot.
Not a word of command or direction
came from this Farragnt of '9B until the
dawning day showed the Spanish fleet
cowering under the Cavite batteries
Then when the Spanish snarled at him
with an opening shot he turned loose his
deadlv fire and rushed into the greatest
naval bettle of modem times.
Once the men forgot themselves.
The Olvmpia was lost to sight in a cloud
of smoke and a roar of artillery, and the
other men of the fleet feared that she
had been blown up by a mine. But the
smoke cleared away and ehe Olympia
showed that she was all right by send
ing a terrific broadside into the Reina
Christina. Then the men cheered and
yelled, and even cried in their mad de
light. During the rest of the engage
ment they were as cool and deliberate
as if at target practice.
When Dewey withdraw to see what
damage he had w-iought. the Spaniards
essayed a cheer, evidently believing
that"he had given np the battle. But
they did not know the man. He heard
iht> cheers, and with a half sneer, uncon
sciously perhaps, remarked to an aide
in the language of the great Paul Jones:
"Umph! We haven't begun to fight
yet:" ,
And the result showed that he hadn t.
The last shot of the engagement was
fired by the gun boat Petrel.
Comuiodore Dewey is now in full pos
sessian of the entrance to the harbor of
Manila and maintaining a close block
ade of the port while awaiting orders
from Washington. Whether or not he
is directed to take active measures to
capture the town he is confident of its
speedy surrender for the inhabitants are
likely to be soon in a starving condition.
Meanwhile his ships, such as are not
absolutely necessary to maintain the
blockade." are cruising about the neigh
boring waters, capturing all ships that
fly the Spanish yellow and red.
General Autrusti wire* of his
Defeat.
MADRID, MAY 7. —An official dis
patach from General Augusti, governor
general of the Philippines, sent by way
of Labuan, says:
"The enemy seized Cavite and the
arsenal owing to the destruction of the
Spanish squadron, and established a
close blockade. It is said that, at the re
quest of the consuls, the enemy will
not bombard Manila for the present,
provided I d > not open fire upon its
squadron, which is out of range of our
guns. Therefore I cannot fire until
they come nearer.
"A thousand sailors arrived here
yesterday evening from our destroyed
squadron, the losses of which number
WAR RECORD.
On Thursday no word had yet oeen
received from Dewey. Sampson was
supposed to be on his way to Porto Ri
CO. The riots continued in Spain, there,
was a fight at Mnrcia between miners
and troops and Spain couldn't get mon
ey in London. Messengers to Gomez
were landed in eastern Cuba.
On Friday the people of San Juan in
Porto Rico were preparing to receive
the Spanish fleet: the harbor was clear
ed of merchant vessels.
On Saturday a Carlist deputy in the
Spanish Congress veflcotod upon the
Queen and was expelled; rioting and
bloodshed continued in different parts
of the country.
All day Sunday and Monday the Na
tion was expecting news from Admiral
Sampson's fleet, which was cruising
around the West Indies hoping to meet
the Spanish, deet, which was reported
at Barbadoes *md Martinique.
On Tuesday the Spanish fleet was re
ported at Cadiz, Spain, which if true
would indicate that after sailing west
ward from the islands they turned tiil
and went back. The news was very
disappointing, Sampson will probably
take the port ot San Juan in Porto Rico.
Gan. Miles went to Tampa; the gover
nment chartered a dozen large trans
ports; ten thousand hammocks were or
dered as it is not safe to sleep on the
grouud in Cul*i during the wet season;
and everything looked like the move
ment of an army into Cuba.
In Madrid there was a commotion in
the Cortes and threatened revolution.
The riots in different parts of Spain and
the "Bread riots" in Italy continued.
In Manilla Admiral Montejo and his
two sons were reported killed by a
Spanish mob, while outside the city the
insurgents were becoming dangerous.
ORDERED TO TAMPA.
Gov. Hastings received orders at
Camp Hastings yesterday from the War
Department to forward six regiments to
Tampa as soon as possible.
That number has been mustered in
and may be able to move not later than
to-morrow night. Cars are now in
waiting to transport the brave Keystone
troops to the southern point of mobili
zation, where they will be joined to the
forces now preparing to invade Cuba.
There is intense enthusiasm at camp in
consequence of the order.
The regiments to go will be the first
six that have been mustered in. They
are the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Fif
teenth and Sixteenth. The latter three
are from Western Pennsylvania, and
comprise almost half of the second Bri
gade. These regiments are the first of
the volunteer army who will assist in
driving the Dons from the stricken Is
land of Cuba.
It is considered that the ordering of
the Pennsylvania Guard into the field
at once is a sure sign of appreciation
of their efficiency by Uncle Sam.
While no orders have been given ont the
army officers seem to think that the
greater part of Pennsylvania's quota
will go to Cuba.
Mure than half of the Pennsylvania
Guard was mustered into the regular
service amid scenes that were both dra
matic and pattoetic.

Monday morning's trains brought re
cruits to Butler for the Grove City and
Clarion companies, and they all left for
camp on the West Penn afternoon train.
They were given a farewell lunch in
Armory Hall, and were escorted to the
depot.
The recruits arrived at camp early
next morning. The officers of the sec
ond brigade were examined by the snr
geons that day and several of them, in
eluding Lieut. Scott of the Butler com
pany were rejected on account of defec
tive eyesight.
Albert Walters of Co. E will nave the
distinction ol being the only colored
gentleman in the Second Brigade. He

CAMP DELUGE!
OUR BOYS IN CAMP.
Co. E, l."»tli Kcaiment, Camp
Hastings.
CHAUTAUQUA P. 0., LEBANON CO.. PA.
SATURDAY, MAY 7. 1898.
As we wrote before Co. E volunteer
ed every man into the U. S. service
which the law permitted her to, and
that was sixty men and three officers.
We had sixty-three men along, so three
had to be left out. Everyone of us
wanted to go in and had said so before
leaving Butler. Allison and Mitchell
were selected to stay out because neith
er could pass the physical examination.
Barr received word of sickness in his
family and he did just what he should
have done, returned to Butler to care
for his own. The full Fifteenth Regi
ment volunteered. We were cheered
and hurrahed for by the other regi
ments.
After it was over Col. Krepps spoke a
few words to each company. To our
boys he said "this is the happiest and
proudest moment of my life."
We had a week of miserably wet
weather. Rain fell all Monday after
noon, Tuesday and Wednesday were
dry and nice, but it started to rain
Thursday morning and has been at it
ever since. Everyone is soaked from
the soles of his feet to the crown of his
head We can't drill, have roll call,
gnardmount or do anything else except
be wet and uncomfortable. The red
mud in our company street is not more
than a yard deep. We all hug the big
sheet-iron stove in the cook house as
much as we can. Several have bought
small oil stoves which make the tents
somewhat warmer. Sergeant O'Don
nel, Corps. Jackson and Kamerer, and
privates John Pierce, Hindman and
Bowser, the cook, have each had little
sick spells, but not lasting more than
one day. A tent that don't leak is a
mighty good thing in vvel wtiUkwi.
of our
heads, and yet never a drop of it reach
ing us.
Wednesday we had company drill
once and batallion twice under Junior
Maj. Baker of Meadville. He was elect
ed last winter vice Maj. Hanna, resign
ed, and the regimental officers can con
gratulate theinselvs for the choice of
such an efficient and model officer.
Wednesday there were two tragedies
in Co. E, one youngster who is noted
for his volumnions dramatic speeches,
broke loose in a tragic harangue about
4:80 a. m., woke everybody in E and G
and then went to yelling and pounding
each tent to keep us awake. Later all
fell to and gave him a pounding which
he will remember with groans and
sighs to the end of his days.
The other tragedy happened thus: A
certain one sought to entertain his fel
lows with a Dutch song, wh%n behold
they fell upon him, roughly carried him
to the water spioket, and dampened his
musical spirit with a liberal application
of cold water. We are not allowed to
give the victims' names.
Just here let us report that Clarence
Graham has found his shoe somewhere
and is now as happy as a lark. In a
ball game the other day he knocked the
ball clear across the lake and half way
up Gov! Dick, the mountain to the east.
Only small quantities of fire wood
have been issued to us. We must get
what we can as best we can. There is
a grove of young timber between the
camp and railroad whose trees have
nearly all been cut down and burned.
This "morning the company was ordered
to fall in in column of twos and then
charged on a rail fence which Corporal
Jackson had discovered on the west
ridge. We captured the enemy and
now have wood to burn. There are
some immense chestnut trees out here.
The trunk of one back of the officers
quarters is easily seven feet in diameter. J
This afternoon we are carrying slag up
from the railroad and paving the streets
with it, a great improvement.
Prof. E. Mac-key and wife of Reading
came out in the rain yesterday to see
Co. E jyid invited ns over to visit them
if possible. Prof. Mackey formerly had
charge of the education of a majority of
Co. E's boys and we were glad to see
him.
The regiment was examined today by
the surgeons, Drs. Heiluian, Martin and
Wright, who have been commissioned
into the U. S. service. Co. E caught
it this morning. Everyone passed ex
cept private Haz Jackson, who is minus
the index finger of his right hand. It
was cut off in a lumber mill several
years ago. We are sorry to loose him.
Several were nearly knocked out by
weak eyes.
Lieut. Scott left yesterday for Butler
to bring out new recruits. He was
loaded down with love letters, decorat
ed hardtack, etc, before starting. We
don't know how long we -will be here
yet. Batteries A and C liaye left for
Newport News, Va. Several of the
University of Pennsylvania football
players are in battery A. Some of Co.
E's boys went over to their camp and
kicked a ball about with them. The
guard will not be taken away from Mt.
Gretna until the recruits are brought
here and equipped, after which the
completed Division will be moved.
SUNDAY, MAY 8. That miserable
rain, driven by a cold, strong east wind
has been coming down in torrents since
yesterday afternoon. The camp is a
veritable lake of mud. All the little
cinder paths we made yesterday are sub
merged. The cooktent partly blowed
down this morning and the officers' tent
started traveling also. They had to be
caught and pinned down again. It is
very pleasant to work with wet canvas
in the rain and mud, I don't think The
water is running through all our tents
and there are several inches of it in
some. Most of us have been in bed all
day. That is the only place the least
bit comfortable. We are not only wet
through, but we are hungry. Bread
and coffee for breakfast and coffee alone
for dinner. We feel that someone
should be kicked at least seven times
around the camp, but don't know just
who it is.
We saw sonic recruits come in for the
First brigade this morning. They were
dressed in light citizens clothes, were
soaking wet and mud tJ the knees
The rain ha«l soaked through and wash
ed the wrappers off the bundles of
clothing and fi*xl they carried. Their
faces showed depression and misery.
Poor follows we pitied them, though
in little better shape ourselves. The Y.
SI. C. A. tent is blown down This
camp is the most woe-bt-gone and God
foresaken place in America today.
There was a small railroad smashnp
juit below our camp this afternoon and
a passenger car demolished.
LATER ;—Bowser cooked ns a good
supper, bean soup, boiled beef, bread,
and hot coffee with sugar, the clouds
have broken, the sun has come out and
we will whip Spain and free Cuba yet.
MIINDAY \ FTEKNOON: -Nice weather
once more. We have dug ditches suf
ficiently deep to drain our company
quarters, if there is any more rain.
This morning was frosty and so cold
that the tent canvas was frozen stiff.
Some of the Fifteenth recruits have
arrived, thirty came from Mercer Co.
for Co. G. We expect Lieut. Scott to
bring ours in tomorrow morning.
Squads of new ones have been coming
in all day. Haz. Jackson and Wensel
Walker, who has been with ns through
our seige of bad weather, start for But
ler this evening.
The new recruits will be equipped to
morrow and we will be immediately
mustered into the U. S. service.
TUESDAY. This is written in the
Second brigade Y. M. C. A. tent,
which, all covered with red mud. has
been set up again. Lieutenant Scott
with Co E's twenty-five new recruits,
baggage and a large number of pack
ages from our Butler friends arrived
this morning. We are very proud of
our new meml>ers. for no better looking
lot have come in. And then we know
they were first class fellows at home.
They have been examined by the sur
geon already.
Six or seven will have to be returned
to Butler because there is no room for
them. We will be accoutred and
mustered into the U. S. service immedi
ately, and expect to be shipped away
before many days.
Battery B. is leaving this afternoon:
it is reported they are being taken to
Fort Niagara. Cars are waiting here to
transport the second brigade. Among
our new accoutrements will be repeat
ing rifles and cartridge belts.
Next to our recruits the most wel
come arrival in Co. E today was that
of two barrels of "good things" con
signed to the U. P. squad of Co. E from
the young people of the Bntler U. P
church. Corp Jackson and private
Waters found the barrels at the exjiress
office this morning. The expressage
was marked paid so each took a barrel
on his back and carried it over to camp
There each one of the U. P. Squad took
out packages addressed to himself.
The remaining contents were then
turned over to Commissary Martin
who issued them share alike to
the whole company. Company
E sends its heart} - and unanimous
thanks to Our Young Peoples Christian
Union of the U. P. chnrch. Those to
whom it was consigned express their
special thanks and regards for their
fellow church members. U. P's. are
popular here today. But onr Bntler
friends must not think the State is neg
lecting or starving us. We get plenty
of food, plain but health}*. The only
fault to be found was a little irregularity
in the issue of it, which was no doubt
due to the very bad weather we had.
Co. E. has had its first accident. Ser
geants O'Donnel and Alexander and pri
vate Eckelberger have been messing to
gether. Last night was very chilly
and they left an oil lamp burning in the
t ?nt to warm it a little. Abjut 2 A.
M. Alexander, tossing in his sleep,
stuck his foot out of the bed and kicked
the lamp over. The tent aud contents
were partly destroyed in the resulting
fire. John's clothes were ignited and
his left log quite badly burned below
the knee. He is in the hospital today,
but the surgeon says he will be aole to
walk about again tomorrow. The oth
ers were not hurt. Private Simonel
has returned to Butler.
A few moments ago Col. Morrel, In
spector Gen. of the N. G. P. was
thrown violently from his horse and
was very badly injured. He is uncon
scious now. Gov Hasting has just rid
den past on his way to see the injured
man- who is in the 18th Regiment, hos
pital tent.
Heretofore we have been under the
impression that there would be twelve
corporals under the U. S. Company
organization. The truth is there will
it will be 115.60 a nfonth. A corporal s
pay is a trifle more.
