John Conaghao, of Town, Tells How He Finds Life in tlie Philippines—His Trip From SHU Francisco to Manila-City of Honolulu Described. The following extracts from a letter written to his home here by John Cona ghan, a private in Battery 11, Sixth U. S. artillery, contains much of interest about the new possession of the country in the East: In tin; Palace, Headquarters U. S. Government. Manila, P. 1., June 1.5, 1899. 1 take great pleasure in writing to let you know that I arrived safely in Manila on May 21, and it was a relied to step on land again. We arrived in the ba> on May 19, but were anchored there two days before we were sent ashore. We were stationed at first at a place called Lunota, a part of Manila, and began to serve Uncle Sam in the Philip pines by eating hard tack and corned beef and sleeping on tin; ground. I was very much surprised and pleased to meet John (Forty) O'Donnell here. He belongs to the Twenty-first infantry, which was then stationed at the Bridge of Spain on the way to Now Manila, about five miles from us. I did not have much time to talk to him, as 1 was ou a detail putting up tents} and some time later, when I tried to reach his regiment, I was held up by the sentries of the Fourteenth, not having the special pass which is required to get inside the firing line. GUARDING GENERAL OTIS. There is so much to write about, and so little time to do it, that I scarcely know where to start. As you will no tice by the heading of this letter, we are stationed in the Palace, in the walled city of Manila. This is the headquarters of Major General Otis and the American government on these islands. Our battery is doing the guard over the Palace and the treasury building, and part of the guard at what is known as Fort Santiago, on the Pasig river. We are not altogether moved in here yet, as the Second Oregon Volunteers, whom wo relieve, just moved out today. Besides our guard five privates and a sergeant were detailed to sleep here tonight. That is why I have a chance to write. Since coming here, nearly a month ago, we had to sleep on the. ground and could not get an opportunity to write. Our detail tonight is composed of Sergeant Silas 1). Emory, Va.; Privates Robert Shields, Wilkesbarre; Charles Hosford, Massachusetts; Jesse Booth, Forty Fort; James McCabe, Wilkes barre, and John Conaghan, Freeland. SOLDIERS ANXIOUS TO FIGIIT. In a few days the whole battery will bo here and I think we will like our now quarters better than those we had at Lunota. We are about four miles from the fifing line. They have, a little scrap out there every day and our hoys were anxious to get out. Guarding the Palace and treasury building is not the soft snap one might think, as the city is full of Filipinos and it is a question when they may take the notion to break loose. From what I have seen of tin; country I believe 1 will like it first rate. I be lieve if a man takes the proper care of himself It is as healthy as any other part. One must be careful, however, of his diet, and it is my opinion that tin; government might improve tho privates' rations by making them more suitable for a tropical climate. Soldiers in Manila ought not be fed with the same class of food as those in Alaska. Fat pork, beef and meat soups are not what men should get in this country. ALWAYS ON TIIK MOVE. While at Lunota wo had to contend with another evil. Our camp was con tinually on the move. It was put up tents and take down tents and move all tho time. In fact if a fellow strolled away from camp for a few hours ho was liable to find the place deserted when he returned. That is why I have not yet looked up tho other Freeland boys who are trying to keep the flag waving Continued on Fourth Page. Condy 0. Boyle, dealor in Liquor, Wine, Beer, Porter, Etc.

A Director nn<l a Teacher Resigned at Last Evening's Meeting. Foster township school board met in regular session last evening. Several important business matters came up beforo the board, chief among which was the resignation of Director Jere VVoodring, the resignation of Joseph U. Sarricks as teacher and supervising principal of the schools, and the election of teachers for throe years. Mr. Wood ring leaves the board on account of a change in employment, which neces sitates his removal from the district. Mr. Sarricks has given up teaching to accept a steadier position at Sandy Run. The resignations of both gentlemen were accepted, and Mr. Woodring was ten dered a vote of thanks for his work on the board. All the present teachers in the town ship, who are normal school graduates and have taught for two years, were de clared elected for three years. An attempt was made to restrict the elec tion to those teachers who are residents of Foster township and Freeland, and also to include in the election those holding permanent certiiicates, but both propositions failed to carry. The three-year teachers will bo required to sign contracts. The directors resolved to look after tins school buildings in their respective territories, and see that all necessary repairs art; made before the term opens. They also decided, as a sanitary precau tion, to put a bushel of lime in each cess pool connected with the different build lugs. Director Lesser presented a resolu tion, adopting the following text books for the next three years, which was unanimously adopted: Hull's arithme tic, Butler's geography, llazon's fourth and fifth readers, Monroe's spellers, Shudder's histories, Sheldon's language; series, Butler's slant writing, Veal's ver tical writing, Ward's rational method of reading. There were three candidates for the position made vacant by MIL Sarrick's resignation, as follows: Harry Mane, Hazleton; (ieorge C. Farrar, {South lleberton; Con McUeehan, Coxo addi tion. Mr. Mane was elected on the first ballot. llarvey Hoffman, of Drifton, was elected supervising principal. The di rectors could not agree on the salary to pay Mr. Hoffman, and it was laid over until tin; next meeting. Fred O. Haiges, who was appointed to teach Hazlo llrook school, was trans ferred to Sandy Run. The directors unanimously chose John Runisoy, of Sandy Run, to be a member of the board in playo of Director Wood ring. The election of a secretary was laid over until the next meeting. MyHterlouH Accident in u Mine. A terrific explosion of gas occurod on Tuesday morning in the Pino It rook shaft of the Scranton Coal Company. Daniel Calvin, in whose chamber the explosion occurred, was seriously burn ed. lie was about to lire a blast when his naked lamp ignited a quantity of gas which had accumulated. A tremon ous explosion immediately ensued, throwing Calvin several yards away. A pump runner at his puiup was blown over twenty feet by the rush of air. Men rushed to the assistance of Cal vin who was found to be suffering in tensely from severe burns on almost all parts of his body. Two mules in a neighboring chambor were instantly killed. In the midst of the oxcitemont a door tender .cried that the breaker was on fire, causing a panic among the men. They fought and struggled with one another in a desperate attempt to gain a place on the cages, only TO discover that it was a false alarm. The inside foreman says it is the most mysterious explosion in his experience., as thero was no gas to be discovered twenty minutes after nor any in tin; morning when the fire boss made his rounds.
