LETTER FROM MANILA.
FREELAND BOY'S DESCRIPTION OF
THE SHERIDAN'S TRIP.
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.
Before the breaking out of the Span
ish-American war Pat was distinguish
ing himself under the renowned "Dyna
mite" Johnny O'Brien, carrying sup
plies and ammunition to tho Cuban
patriots, and participated in soveral of
theso filibustering expeditions.
Just before tho American government
took a hand in the Cuban war Mr. Boyle
foresaw the trouble that was brewing,
and to further the cause of the Cubans
and that of his own country he enlisted
In the Seventeenth regular infantry at
Jersey City.
He went to Cuba with General Sbaf

wcll-knaw# victories in front of Santi

His regiment was brlgaged in Cuba
with the Seventh regular infantry, in
which was Sergeant John W. Jones, of
Upper Lehigh, who met his death there.
Mr. Boyle is a soldier all the way
through and his friends hope to see bin
pass safely through the present cam

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to care in all its stages and that is
catarrh. HalPs catarrh cure iB the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Care is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the svstem,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength bjr building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it faiis
to cure. Bend for list of testimonials.

teries were decorated. At Eckley the
citizens and societies of tho village as
sisted in the celebration and were ad
dressed by Daniel Kline, of town.
In the afternoon the program pub
lished a week ago today was carried

the various societies made a neat
appearance, especially the Citizens' Hose
Company. Tho members wore their
new uniforms for the first time and
occupied their usual position at tho
head of the column. They wero compli
mented all along the line of march.
The uniform is a dark green, witli cap
to match, and showed up well. The

people than for several years. The
opening address by Attorney Stroh. tho

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

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.
