The Oregon Oity Troops Were Not at
the Siege of Manilla, but They are
Now Stationed There, and Dwell
in Marble Palaces.
J. D. Humphrey, who iB a private in
Company A, Second Regiment, Oregon
Volunteers, stationed at Manilla, writes
to Charles A. Fitch an interesting let
ter under date of August 18th. Jack
has many friends in Oregon Oity, who
will be pleased to hear from him. The
substance of the letter is given as fol
lows:
I now take pleasure in writing you a
few lineB in haste, as the mail goes out
in the morning. We havn't had time
for anything since Manilla fell by the
wayside. We had no trouble, -what
ever, in entering the city, but the troops
that went through the trenches outside
the city ' encountered quite a battle.
Dewey tore their forts and trenches in
side out, but not a shot was fired at the
fleet. He turned the gatling gun into
the trenches and fairly slaughtered the
Spaniards. A little of this went a long
way with the enemy, and they hat
tened to get inside of the walls.
Only 650 of the Oregon olunteers
came to Manilla. The remainder are at
Cavite, including the Oregon Oity Com
pany. We landed from small boats in
front of the city under cover of Dewey s
guns, and had about 30 minutes march
to the city walls, where they were wait
ing to receive us at the gate. The gate
is a large arch in the wal1 and bears the
dnto of 1750. bo vou see it is quite an
old city wall.
We marched to the government build
ings where there were 10,000 Spanish
soldiers armed to the teeth.
We raised the flag, and gave three
cheers for Old Glory, and then pro
ceeded to disarm the Spanish soldiers
Almost every gun that was captured
was loaded and cocked, while not a man
of our regiment carried a loaded gun.
When General Merritt, appeared on the
scene he said that it was a great day for
Oregon, marching in, as they did, with
out a loaded gun and capturing the city.
We had a load to carry during the
siege, as each man was provided with
250 rounds of ammunition and three
days' rations.

The first night we had the honor and Ion earth, I believe. They chew and
smoke tobacco, and go about very scan
tily dressed. The Spaniards treat them
with the utmost contempt and scorn.
The water is fine for swimming and
enough to last five years and engage in
battle every day. It is a sight to see
all the guns, cannon and ammunition
that is piled up here. The Spaniards
keep coming in every day, and, as a
rule, are rejoicing over the surrender.
They had some fine cannons of the lat

are all safe now under our care.
I can't tell you much about Uie city,
I I haven't been around very much
yet. We are quartered in old Manilla,
and it is an odd-looking place compared
with our American cities. New Ma
nilla is a little better. It hasn't many
fine buildings, but some excellent stores.
Everything is quiet here, as the insur
gent leader is a prisoner on the Olym-
pia, or we would have some fun with
them.
LETTER FROM ARTHUR 1I0LDE N.
Arthur Holden writes an interesting
letter from Manilla to Fred J. Meyer,
under date of Aug. 20th. The follow
ing extracts are taken from the letter :
Friend Fred : I suppose by the time
this reaches you the Spanish-American
war will be a thing of the past, but you
may like to get a letter just the' same.
Company land three others of Sec.
ond Oregon, did not have a hand in the
capture of Manilla, and, of course, we
felt very much slighted. I stood on
high wall where I could see the whole
performance at Manilla.
Company I was moved into Manilla
three days ago, and we have the finest
birracks in the whole island.'
The boys are all so well pleased in the
new location, that they express a desire
to stay two years. -.j.
I took in the town today, and it reminds
one of Second street in Portland to
some extent. The people are a mix
ture from all parts of the earth. The
Spanish women are the prettiest I ever
saw, but they are so proud, that when

water snakes over six feet in length,
but the salt water is so delightful that
we can't resist the temptation of going
in bathing. .
I do not think any of the boys are
homesick. Those that were inclined
that way have gotten over it since we
moved to Manilla.
I fairly dread that trip back across
the Pacific; you can't imagine how
tire3ome it is lo eee only water for a
whole month, besides a person never
get over that dyspeptic feeling. When
we landed here there wasn't a dozen
that could walk a mile, and the major
ity of us would play out after walking
two blocks That is an indication of
the effects of a long ocean voyage. I
weighed 142 pounds on board the Syd
ney, and after being in Oavite five
weeks, tipped the scales at 167.
Our drilling exercises are very light,
just about enough to keep up an appe
tite. 1 go on guard about once a week.
I have not had more than two danger
ous posts, and then was disappointed
because I djdn't see anything.
If one had plenty of money here he
could make a good percentage chang
ing coin. For a United States ten one
gets $22 50 in Mexican Bilver coin j then
by changing it back into small amounts
at the rate of two for one. I have
changed on as much as $20 in one day,
witnout musing it a ousiness as some
do.
The tropical fruits one reads so much
about, are hardly fit to eat here, and
cost almost as much as they do in Ore
gon. I searched all over the town of
Manilla, and could not find a place to
eat dinner. People do not eat regular
tueUij here, but buy a banana, a piece
of biead and something to drink, and
consider that they have fared sumptU'
ously.
