Letter from Philippines. ,
Santa Ana. 1 T.. Apr. 2., lwtn.
Mk. 10. S. STHAWCUTTKU.
Pk.ui Bhothkk: I received your
el tor h few iIm.vk ago und was eliid to
ii tie mm yon. I urn enjoying tho best
if health und urn getting accustomed
army life In tho Philippines. Wo
have bon on the Inland nearly three
months. We left New York Hay on
the evening of Nov. 20th amid the
cheering of people and shrieking of
whistle from tug boats. Tho last point
of I a ml vUlhtu wax Sandy Hook. We
cached Gibraltar In twelve day. We
wo.ru certainly glad 1o sight land und
everybody was In the boot of health and
spirits. Gibraltar Ik a magnificent
fortress. I was told twelve thousand
soldiers were garrisoned here.
Our trip through tho Mediterranean
soa was grand. Malta, an Inland In the
Mediterranean, Ih one of the oldest, and
moat historic planes in the world. It In
beautiful spot and I enjoyed It very
very mtieh. Suez eanal Is anothorjilace
of interest. There are wimo beautiful
places along this canal. Tt, cost Uncle
-Sam (2.00 apiece for a man to pass
through here, In all costing over M.OOO
for the transport Tvogan to pass.
Singapore, India, was our next stop.
It, too, Is a point of Interest. There
are all classes of people to be seen hern.
We stayed throe days. During this
time we coaled. A good many of the
boys went ashore and reported a good
time.
On .Tan. -Uh, sailed in Manila Bay,
where Dewey made himself famous.
On 41th we went ashore and camped at
Malata, on the outskirts of Manila. I
went down to Manila and there saw many
eights both strange and queer. , There
are a great many Spaniards here and
not a few Chinese. Their stores are not
a-i giHxl uh In the States, but there
churches are grand and they pay
marked attention to their religion.
On the 12th we moved by rail (a dis
tance of forty miles) north of Manila.
From thero we marehed to San Pedro,
Magatang, ton miles In the Interior.
We were there two months and then
came to this place.
While at Magalang the "Insurrectoa"
Bred on us a number of times. This
town is at the foot of Mt. Arayat to
which point a number of expeditions
were made. 3en. Grant took four com
panies und three guns of Co. E, 1st Ar
tillery up. My company was advance
guard. General Grant seems to be a
fine man und tho men all had confidence
In him. This mountain is very steep
and difficult to nscend. It is thickly
wooded with raluable woods, such as
mahogany, ebony, rosewood, French
briar, und other hard wood. The guns
had to be left near tbe base of the
mount while the man moved slowly up.
The "Insurrectos" hud left. We found
their outposts and trenches. It would
be a hard place to tuko when once lo
cated there. I believe they left on ac
count of no water there. Co. A,
25th, u negro compuny, had quite a
fight hero some time, before this
Some places steps are cut in the rocks
to reach highor points; other places
ludders are used.
Since coming to this place (Santa Ana)
we have pot been fired on at all. Every
thing moves along smoothly. The whole
compuny has been Issued cots to sleep
on and we are now very comfortable.
The rainy season will set in In a few
weeks and we will be hemmed In for
several months.
Tho natives hero are yellow people
and not so large as Americans. They
oat rice, bananas and fish. A great deal
of sickness is among them all the time
and you frequently see eight, or ten
funerals in a single day. I have told
you before how they conduct a funeral.
For work they use a large animal
called a caraboo or water buffalo. They
also have small ponies which they drive
to a littlo two wheeled cart or buggy.
Easter Is just over and they had a
great time, a grand street parade,
many bulls and feasts. The padre or
priest Is very popular here and seems
to tuke an Interest In tbe soldiers.
One curiosity I saw Is plowing fioh
out of tbe swamps. I also have seen
tbe natives digging for them. Some
large fish are caught in this way. How
would you like to fish in this way?
There is only one company stationed
here. Sun Fernando tbe aeoond city on
tbe Island is ten miles from here. It is
situated on the railroad. The railroad
is a one horse affuir and nothing like
tbe roads in tbe States. ' It was seized
by the soldiers and now run by tbe gov
eminent. It has been fired on several
tl uaes und a number of natives have been
killed. There Is not much fighting,
only small bands of "ladrones" roaming
around stealing. Tbey kill their own
people as quick as us.
Our ivgiuiuut may return to tbe
States next full but it is doubtful.
certainly hope I will get buck by Xmus,
This is a lonely country and nothing
like the United Status. If I get buuk I
don't think I shall leavo soon. A good I
many of the men have been slek with
the fever und one In Compuny K died
of the small pox.
I will try and describe this Island. It
Is Luzon, the largest und most Import
ant of the Philippine group. The In
terior Is quite level, with mountain
ranges along tbe coiists. You can
scarcely see anything but cane and rice
fields. The cane Is principally nil cut
and the natives are getting their rice
fieldi ready for the rainy Reason. Sugar
mills are quite numerous. A native
eeelves ten cents per duy for work and
then lakes half of that out In sugar.
The houses are principally built of bam
boo with mahogany floors. Every town
has n largo stone church and convent
with a large plaza In front. A bamboo
tree grows very tall and slender, prob
ably four to six Inches through. The
olnts are about one foot apart.
The people think America glitters
with gold and a soldier Is almost a mil
lionaire. They ask tis ubnut three
prices for anything wo buy. Nearly all
the boys are tired of army life In the
Philippines, although It Is a trip worth
much to us for the many sights we have
seen. I will send you some views of
places I saw on our voyage as soon as I
can procure them.
Very truly, your brother,

Census Pointers.
Census Enuttii ratots George W. War
nick and Samuel B. J. Haxton have
about finished ttikinir the Census of this
borough, and if any one hits been missed,
or any one kti"ws of a person whose
name lias been omitted, they should re
port the same lo the enumerator in tho
district where the missed one resides.
It l not a matter of moment to the
numerator, but every citizen Is, or
sh.mld be, Interested in having our full
quota reMrted and tho census as near
correct as possible.
It Is not likely the census enumera
tors will he puld for their work before
September next, after the books have
been gono over by the experts and the
enumerations verified.
Census enumerators cannot give out
information concerning their work, not
even statu the population of territory
assigned them when tho work Is com
plete, under a penalty of .ra10.
Much int.' rest and many Inquiries
have been made as to the time and
manner In which the census returns
will be made public. It. Is supposed
that by July 1, Superintendent Merriara
of the census will likely have his first
announcement to make. Commencing
with the larger cities and coming down
In as neary regular order dally bulletins
will be Issued of the populations.
