ANOTHER FREELAND BOY'S EXPERI
ENCE IN THE FAR EAST.
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

FOSTER SCHOOL BOARD.
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.
