FROM THE PHILIPPINES
A Letter Written by John, Son of Mr. and
Mrs. DD. M, Jenkins, of Patten,
ngs Lr the Tepih Regiment of Pa. Vol.
Cavite, Philippine Islands,
April 22, 1598,
Mother: 1 now
Dear Father and
take the pleasure of answering vour
kind and welcome letter which was re-
eeived after dark last night. We are
off the firing line at last and are now
in Cagite, we came here off the firing
line Friday the 14th, but can't tell how
long we will be here; we think it will
be for some time, anyway, for we are
polioring the city, and it is » snap and
all the boys like it, but they would
much rather come home,
We received a Uniontown newspaper,
the Standard, a few days ago, and it
contained an article stating that Col
Hawkins said that the boys of the
Tenth regiment wanted to stay in the
Philippines We don’t think that he
said smyvihing of the kind, for thepe is
not one but who wishes be could go
home, and they would not stay here
only, you know, they have to. When
we Jeft Malolas we all thought that we
would go to our quarters for a week or
two to rest and then embark for home,
but we were ail mistaken, for there ia
no talk about going only when we get |
mail; we received our mail last sight
and you can hear nothing now but
talk of going home
You wanted to know why I didn't
say anything about the fighting | was
engagred in. Weil there is nothing to
tell, only that we have had some very
hot and exciting limes. Once we were
engaged for six days in aimost steady
Mighting; 1 will tell you all sbout it
when | come home.
I was over in Manila yesterday for
about three hoors. | went over to get
my laoadry. We go atross the bay,
which is about seven miles wide, on the
government boat Cavite is a health
ber place than Manila, for the bay ex-
tends all around the city and we can
‘stand on the back porch and see the

Are Good Singers
~ While a commiftes representing the
miners was in conference wilh the
‘operators Thursday morning the con-
vention was entertained by a pumber
of excelent songs by J. F. Nattall,
Archie McKeever, Micall McTaggart,
and James Cosgrove, of Barnesbaro,
Frank Boyd, of Hawk Run, and Ber
nard of Brockwayville. The
singing was ail good, and highly ap-
preciated, bat that of Mr. Nuttall was
especially worthy of mention. He has
a tenor voice which is very pleasing to
the ear, and the well modulated tones
show careful caltivation. Some of
these men formerly lived near Philips
barg, and are well known to many of
our readers. Clearfield Republican.
