Manila Crrresdontlcnco.
Sevoinl letters were received from
Manila on Sunday, among them one
lor T. 1'. Randall from Everett Hick'
man. The men nie comfortably
quartered aro only reqni'cd to do light

guard d ity. They have some 20,000
Spanish prisoners to look after. The
im u are granted many privileges and
havj ample oppoituuity to study the
natives and their methods of business.
Hickman as well us several others have
seen all they want of cheap money, freo
silver. Hickman says: "Had a ten dot
lar bill the other day and it was shout
the size of the Oregon City Herald.
While in the Hong Kong bank ws
shown all over The building is about
as large as the Oluckamas county conrt
house, and they have 75 or 83 men em
ployed. Quite a number were counting
money, they had just received a ship
ment of silver from the mint, but they did
not take time to count it. Two men with
scoop' shovels were piling it onto a pair
of rcales, one taking the weight, another
hooking it, another holding a sack and
still another carrying it away. You can
imagine how cheap it is when one of our
one cent pieces gets two of theirs, five
d dlars of our gold gets ten thirty-five of
their money. One has got to carry
pocket full of one and two cent pieces all
the time as cigars sell for from oue to
five cents each and other articles In pro
portion. If yon do not have the right
change they try to dim flam you. Bryan
should come here if he wants cheap
money. A Colonel's pay is about tVlOO
per month and they pay every two
months, it would be quite a joke to pay
him in silver." Many souvenir) are be
ing picked up and enough Mauser r fles
