Mentions the Interesting Sights Between New York City and the Philippines end Telle of the Condition of Affairs In Our New Possessions. Manila, April 25, 1899. Dear Father and Family.—l landed in Manila on April 14. Wo made the trip from New York on the transport Sheri dan in fifty-four days. We had a fine voyage. Our first stop was at tho Rock of Gibraltar, right across from Spain. It is a grand fortification. We took coal there. It was Spaniards that coaled us. They carry -the coal on board in baskets and work hard. The same amount would bo put on board in America with one-third tho men in two hours. It took them ten hours to do tho work. The coal at Gibraltar comes from England. Then we went through tho Mediter ranean sea, stopping at Malta, another English port. It is a very old place. The city is built within a wall and some very fine specimens of stone work were seen there. Tho natives are known as Maltese. Very few of them wear shoes. I saw thetn cracking stones on the streets in their bare feet, and they didn't seem to mind it. There are no horses there, all donkeys. WELL PROTECTED ISLAND. There aro twelve English battleships In the harbor. Nine of them are first class. The island is further protected by abetit 7,0(H) British soldiers, most of them being Scotch and Irish. They gave us a rousing reception. We took more coal there. It was again carried on board in baskets. The Maltese are a race nearly like the Italians. There are many old churches there, and the people appear very religious. The church where St. l'aui was imprisoned is in the city. Anybody may view it. It is there Napoleon raised terrible troubles in his day. Wo stopped at Malta three days, then left for Fort Said, at the entrance of tho* Suez canal. More coal was taken aboard there. It is said a ship can be coaled there by baskets faster than anywhere else in the world. It takes lots of labor to coal this way and the workers aro paid about 40 cents a day—and no shoes on. It looked to us like slavery. THROUGH "THE SUEZ CANAL. The trip through the Suez canal, which Is about ninety miles long and 100 yards wide, was very pleasant. We ran at half speed going through. One ship goes through at a time and it takes about sixteen hours to run the length of tho canal. The ships keep about two miles apart. The next sixteen hours all vessels go the other way. The canal is the dividing line between Egypt and Arabia. It was the first place we saw people going about with out clothes. They are really half wild. The Mohaiuiuodan religion is very strong in that quarter of the globe. Wc anchored in the gulf of Suez one day. The town of Suez is filled witli British soldiers. From there througli tho Red sea the voyage was very dangerous. The sea is full of rocks. Wo had-a pilot from Fort Said to Aden, where we left him off. Wo then went through tho gulf of Aden to the Arabian sea and on to the Indian ocean. CHINEBE KVERYWHERE. We stopped at Colombo, another English port, on the island of Ceylon. They have few horses thoro. The traffic is done with bullocks or sea-bulls. You can get hauled all over the city for 25 cents, or the natives will pull you around In a two-wheeled cart. They can run like deers. It Is full of Chinese all through these places. Our next stop was at Singapore. Nothing there but Chinese and Japs. From Singapore we cauio direct to Manila, landing on the 14th. Wo camped one day and night in the city. It is full of soldiers and the war against the Filipinos is still going on. We have 20,000 American troops here, but thero are lots of Filipinos around. We wero uot long hero until we wero up against them. NO GOOD WITH TIIE GUN. Our soldiers have the natives driven back in the interior as far as the Spaniards ever had them. In every engagement so far the insurgents' loss has been terrible. They aro no good with the gun. They don't understand the use of the elevation on the weapon. On tho guns lying beside many of them who wore dead or wounded we found the elevation up to 1,800 yards when wo were only 100 yards or so away when they were firing. Some of tho natives aro very smart. Many have the Mauser rifles, which shoot 2,000 yards, and tho others have the Remington rifles. Wo use tho Krag- Jorgensen. When wo make a charge tho natives run away every time. If one of them gets hit and drops his gun five of his comrades rush for tho weapon. They carry away their dead and wound ed when they itave time to get thorn off the battlefield. Our regloieot is now ouly five or six FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1599. miles out of Manila. The mountains are ten miles from here, and the insur gents are between us and the foot of the mountains. Wo have them cut off from the city and we guard tho water works. They would.like to shut off the water and get into Manila and burn the city, but it is too well guarded for that to happen. IN ANI) ABOUT MANILA. Half of our regiment is on guard at once, and Is relieved by tiie other half. It is the same in all the other regiments. Our line is formed like a horseshoe, on circling the city on all sides except the water front. It is thirty-six miles long, but is very weak because we have to scatter so much to cover tho ground. There are 5,000 troops in the city on guard duty. Each company expects to get a gatling gun, which would be twelvo for every regiment. This would help us in repelling an attack. This is the shape of our lines: [Here is given a diagram of the city, its defenses, the surrounding country, the insurgents' lines, the mountains and the headquarters of the tribe of Macabebes.] Right where we are stationed are very fine rice fields, but all thri houses arc burned down. The woods are full of wild chickens, pigs and dogs which wore let loose when we made the natives desert these places. WANT TO HELP US. The tribe on top of the mountains is an enemy of our opponents. They want guns and ammunition from tho Americans, but our officers are afraid to give them any for fear they would turn against us after the insurgents are whipped. These fellows light witli poisoned arrows. They are high up on the mountains and have a big advant age over everybody. Wo are expecting from 5,000 to 0,000 more American troops here at any time, and I think we can then make a sweep right through the island. Wo believe we could do it now, but there is so much wilderness that lots of our men would get killed and our officers want to con quer with as little loss of life as possible. If tho Filipinos don't surrender they will suffer heavy losses, and some Americans lives may go too. RAINY SEASON IS COMING. The rainy season will sot in next month, and it will bo very mean here. It is very warm now. We were within three degrees of the equator when wo wero at Singapore. Our regiment is on the firing line now. We can't tell when we will advance. Maybe tomorrow and maybe not for a month, but it is supposed not until we get reinforced. You must excuse the writing. It is done on the field and everything is out of place. This letter will go byway of San Francisco and should not tako long to reacii you. Address Patrick Boyle, Company F, Seventeenth U. S. Infantry. Manila, Philippine Islands. Tho writer of the aboye is a son of Daniel Boyle, of North Centre street, lie is known as a brave and fearless young man and may bo depended upon to take care of himself during the troubles in the Philippines.

Murphy, the singing of tho M. E. church choir and the music of St. Ann's and Citizens' bands gave general satis faction. The oration was delivered by Stewart Macfarlane, Jr., now of New York city but formerly of Driftou, and the young man did credit to himself and the occa sion.

Improvement** at No. 5 Colliery. | Plans have been prepared at Jeddo I for the changing of the hoisting and dumping apparatus at No. 5 colliery. When tho breaker and bottom of the slope have been altered according to the plans two cars will be boistod and dump ed together, instead of one, as is the custom there and at all other collieries throughout the region. By this change it will bo possible to materially increase the output, if the coal can be obtained in tho increased quantities which further changes inside will make possible. The increase in output can also be accomplished by running tho hoisting engines at a great deal loss speed than is now used, ami this will mean a wonderful saving in wear and tear 011 men and machinery. This is the colliery where Markle & Co. have introduced air motors, which have alrtsady proven a success. Many other improvements in tho interior are contemplated, and abundant work is promised the minors for several years to come. As this is tho coiliery whore the ma jority of the local miners are employed, the news of these improvements will be welcomed by the business people of Freeland. Oiuiyite* HHVO Split. The Republicans of the district are determed to allow no election to pass without a quarrel, and so the Quayites have split among themselves on the question of who should have the dis honor of being known as tho Quay creature from tho Fourth legislative district in the coming state convention. The anti-Quayites were rather slow in lining up their forces, and to make next Monday's district convention as interest ing as had been expected Mine Inspector . Davics and diaries Bom boy have locked horns. Both men are owned wholly by the great political boss of the state, and It is immaterial to tho public at large which wins. Davios is backed by Roderick and the state bureau of min ning, and Bornboy by that element of tho business circle which grovels before Matt Quay. I'eople'M Party Ticket.
