fit for sustaining nnimitl life than gran

ditions and the solar heat at that time
were very well adapted for vegetation,
and xo there resulted gigantic phintH

E. H. Strimeiitlri', of this pliier, re
rriwd the following letter from Ills
brother, Mubry Stiaweutier, who Is n
Holdii')' In the Philippine Inlands, which
he kindly consented to allow us to pub
lish: Mauai.ano, P. I., Jan. 20, Won.
Mil. E. STRAW! VTTWt.
Bid itii Kit: This beautiful p. in. I
will 1'iiili'uviir to write you a fw lines.
We landed 4n Manila Bay Jan. 4th,
after forty-rlve days sailing. Our trans
(Hirt, the Iignn, heat the record about
four days. I enjoyed the the trip quite
well. Tho weal her was fine nearly all
thi! way, except a day and night on the
Atlantic ocean.
On the (1th we went ashore and to
Nipa barracks on the outskirts of Man
ila city. The houses or barracks are
built of bamboo. They were built by
Spanish prisoners that the Philippines
held. Manila Is quite a large city, al
though ancient. The population is es
timated between two and three hundred
thousand. Tho people seem quite In
dustrious, the struct are always crowd
ed. The streets ore lined with Iwo-
wln-el covered carts, drawn by a small
pony and can run nearly all day. A
person can hire a cart for a day for
about $1.00, Mexican money, that Is
equal to fiO cents In U. H. coin.
The women smoke cigarettes and
some chew tobacco. They go about the
streets In bare fort while some wear
slippers wllli wooilen soles without any
stockings.
It Is nothing to see four or five funer
als a day. The higher caste Is headed
by the band playing "The (ilrl I Iirft
Behind Me," or "A Hot Time In the
Old Town." The body Is carried on the
shoulders of four strong men and tho
people struggle along behind "any old
way. smoking and passing jokes with
the passers. One can't tell who aro the
mourners.
There are many such Incidents, but
space and time will not eriiilt to write.
On tho 1'ltli we moved by rail to An
geles, a small town about 4"i miles dis
tant, and remained a day then marched
to this place (Magalang) another small
town to relieve a negro battalion of the
"."th Regulars. There are only two
companies here doing garrison duty.
We are about 4 miles from a largo
mountain, Arrayat, the enemy's strong
hold. They may attack us most any
time. Tho day we camo here a negro
soldier killed a native woman and wo
expected an attack that night. We
were called out about midnight to dig
trenches all around the stone church.
We are quartered in a big Catholic
convent or church. But we were not
attacked.
This Is certainly a fine Island. There
are somo of the prettiest driveways ami
public roads one would want to look at.
Banana trees and cocoa nut trees grow
nearly everywhere. Since the Ameri
cans camu hero everything Is mostly
pretty high-priced. Somo few things
are cheap. Most of the houses aro
built of bamboo in tho small villages.
Tho fighting Is principally on tho
south line, although there is skirmish
ing all over the island. Most every day
a small skirmish is reported. The Phil
ippines can't stand tho shot and tho
awful yell of tho American soldier
Fifty Americans milled about three
hundred of them tho other day. A rush
and a yell start them running. I sup
pose you rend of the capture of Agiun
aldo's wife, mother and some staff of
ficers somo time ago. His-apture will
finally end tho war, but ho is slippery
and hard to catch. The Meagos will
sell to tho soldiers In day time and at
night go and fight against us. They
are a very treacherous people. AVo
carry our guns with us when wo go any
distance away. Tho Philllpplnos will
slip up behind a person and bolo him.
Bolo is the name of a big knife they
use.

as warm now as u day in July In the

Bo far as I have been able to ascer
tain, the cnusi-H of suicide In China are
not. as In Europe, profound melan
cholia, heavy losses -or disappointment
In love, but childly revenge nnd the de
sire to Inlllet serious Injury on another.
Suicide enables a Chinese to take a
truly terrible revenge, for ho believe
thai his spirit will malignantly linunt
and injure the living, nnd the desire to
save a suicide's life arlies In most case
not from huiminlty. but from the hope
of averting such a direful catastrophe.
If u master offends his servant or
inn lies him "lose face" or n shopkeeper
his assistant or apprentice, the surest
revenge is to die on the premises, for it
