My dear Brother and Sister: I had ex pected to be able to tell you of a hard fought buttle and well pained victory to tell von of the Oregon boys, who had covered themselves with glory ,but I find myself with nothing but a farce to re late. No one doubted for a moment but what we would all fee some fighting when we reached Guam. No one knew, not even the commanding officer, what we were going to do. It was thought that there were two gun boats in the vi cinity of the inland, and it was rumored that there were 000 eoldiets stationed there. The only thing known definitely was that there were two forts in the bay bat nothing was known as to their ar mament or condition. Thus we were bound for a place about which we knew almost nothing, and it was that kept up the excitement to such a high degree. Sunday was an anxious day for us when we knew that we would be at (Jnam early next morning. Nothing of inter est transpired on Sunday except that an order was issued in the evening to the effect that companies A and Dof our regiment would hald themselves in readiness for shore duty on Monday at 0 a. ni., and that 40 rounds of ammunition and one day's traveling ration would be issued to each man. At this, there was treat rejoicing in the ranks of companies A and D, and many were the envious glances cast their way. At the most northern point of Guam Island there is supposed to be a signal station, and at a conference held between Captain Glass, of the Charleston, General Anderson and the captains of the ships, on the preced inn Fridav. it was decided to give this station a wide berth. Sunday night, however, these plans were changed and the Charleston signaled over "Keep sharp lookout for signal station and ships. We will raise Japanese colors and yon will show same or none." We did not sight the signal station however. When we got np Monday morning we were in sight of land, a mile or so above Agana Bay. This was about 5:30 a.m. and from then we proceeded slowly along the coast, the Charleston well in the lead and keeping a sharp lookout for the supposed Spanish gun boats. The Charleston crept along and across the bay until she reached Fort Grato and the troop ships lay to at the point outside the bay Frm the ships the top of Fort Grato could be seen, tut it looked old and unoccupied. Later it was found that it bad been abandoned long ago and now in ruins. The entrance to this bay is rather difficult as a coral reef extends all around the island. The channel is is only 150 yards wide and directly un der Fort Grata. If this fort had been oc cupied they could have blown the Charleston to atoms. Once inside the bay the Charleston crept along, hugging the shore. Fort Santa Crur came into sight. It could not be determined whether it was occupied or, not. For the purpose cf unmasking the battery, if any, Capt. Glass ordered the forward three pounders to open fire, This was about 8:30 a. m , and when at a distance of two miles the starboard three-pound gun fired on the fort but failed to hit. The next shell came from the port side and exploded directly over the tort. Firing was commenced at 3000 yards and ended at 2(70. It lasted four-and-one-half minutes and seven shots were fired from the starboard guns and six from the port side,(only fonrshellsstriking). As there wasno answer to these guns, firing ceased. When the firing commenced a man was seen to run out of the fort.jump into a boat and pull as if for life. After - JP Aft two or three shots, a boat wag seen to put off from Piti, containing sev eral men. When it reached the Charles ton, the officer of the deck went to the rail, and to his inquiry as to who the oc cupants of the boat were he was told that they were Lieut. Garcia Gutierrez, of lhe Spanish navy, Captain of the Port an Luis d'Apra and Dr. Ramery, sur- - ceonofthe 5omi!a!i army. They w- ccompanied by Senor F, p ?0r. -hic, as an interpreter. This Portusac h an American, strange to say. lie Was born in Guam, educated in America and took out naturalization papers in Chicago in 1880. They were taken on board and conducted to the captain's cabin. J.ist after they were seated Dr. Kamero asked for the health of the ship. Upon being told it was excellent he began to apologize for not having the salute re turned and said that he and bis com panions would hasten back and see that it was done. Capt. Glass, (who speaks Spanish), replied "what salute?" "The salute you gave when you anchored" was the answer. Uapt. Uiass was sur prised to say the least but took in the situation. "Gentlemen," he said, "let there be no misunderstanding. We are here on a hostile mission and come as enemies. There was no salute given, but we shelled your fort for the purpose of unmasking it. War has been de clared and you are. now prisoners of war." At this the Spaniards seemed thunderstruck and protested that they heard nothing of war having been de clared, that their mail was overdue and that they had heard nothing since April 7th. Captain Glass questioned them as to the islands and finally told them that he would parole them if they would re turn to the island and have the governor come on board that afternoon. This they agreed to do and also agreed to send a pilot acquainted with the reef in the harbor. At this time, tho Charleston signaled for the Peking and Australia to come into the harbor and detailed the Sydney to remain outside and keep watch. The gunboats were nowhere to be seen and nothing was known of their whereabout by the Spaniards. The only ship in the bay was a Japanese brigantine named Minominatogawa, of Tokia, engaged In the capra trade. We pulled into the bay and anchored a few hundred yards from the Charleston. By this time it was known that no troops would be ordered that day and the boy a ere greatly disappointed. At 3 p. m., the time set for the ar rival of the governor, a small boat ap peared but with only one man in it and he the governor, saying that as the laws of Spain forbade him going on foreign warships all negotiation must be con ducted on land and that he would be pleased to meet Capt. Glass at any time. Capt. Glafs replied that he or his representative would meet the governor Tuesday at 10 a. m. During the after noon Capt. Glass and General Anderson held a conference, and it was decided to land a force consisting of 50 marines from the Charleston and companies and I) of our regiment to enforce the sur render. Orders were issued to the ef- feet that three troops would be ready to land at 9 o'clock the following morning I tried very hard to go with the troops but was refused. On Tuesday morning the marines came over and our boys commenced to embark in small boats, occupying in al 13 boats and towed by the launch of the Charleston. They did not start until about 10 a. in. Just after the boats started off, a rain stoim came up. It came down in torrents and soaked the boys to the skin in a few minutes. To go back a little starting after nine o'clock Tuesday morning Lieut. Brail- nersreuther, navigator and third in com mand of the Charleston, as the represen tative of Capt. Glass, and Ensign Waldo Evans and five marines started for the shore under a flag of truce. Upon their arrival they were met by the governor and bis staff, and after introducing him- selt Lieut. Braunersreuther gave to (tie governor a letter from Capt. Glass, de- manding an unconditional surrender, an J giying him 30 minutes in which to make reply. In giving the note Lieutenant B. said "sir I have the honor to hand you this message from my commander. I will say to you, in order that you may not be hasty in your decision that we have in your harbor four ships. One of these is a modern and formidable war ship, and the other three are loaded with troops, all eauer to land. It is now 10:15 and you have until 10:45 to an swer." The governor and his staff then withdrew for consultation. By this time the first six boats of the landing force had reached and tied up to the Japanese brig about ljg miles from thore. In just 131 minutes the governor leturned and handed to Lieut. B. a note sealed and addressed to Capt. Glass, saying"that is for your commander." Lieut. B. started to open the letter and the governor re peated "that is for your commander." "I am here as the representative of my commander" replied Lieut. B. He then read the note which was as follows: '"Iu.theabeenceof any notification from my government concerning the declara tion of war between the United States and Spain; without means of defence or possibility of waking a satisfactory do- fence in the face of so large a force, and in consideration to humanity and to save lite, I feel compelled to make a full sur render of all within my -jurisdiction. Trusting to your mercy and justice, I have the honor to be your obedient ser vant, Jose Marina y' Vega Lieutenant-colonel and governor-general of the Mariana Islands," After reading the note, Lieut. B. then told the governor and his stair that they were now regular prisoners of war, and while he was sorry for any discomfort be might put them to, yet he was compelled to take them on board the Charleston. This the governor objected tosaying"you came here under a flag of truce and now you tell me that I am your prisoners. We have not said goodbye to our families and we have no clothes here," and rais ing other numerous objections. Lieut, H. replied "that it was true he came un der a flag of truce, but since the governor had surrendered they were all prisoners of war and to be treated as such". U pon being asked how many soldiers were on the island the governor replied "that there were 54 SpanUh soldiers and 150 Chimoros (natives;, only 54 of which were armed though." Lieut. B. then commanded the governor to write an or dor for the officers and soldiers to report with all arms, ammunition, equipment and accouterments on the pier at 4 p, in. of that date and gavo the governor 10 minutes in which to write the note. The governor again raised objections saying "the troops, are all at Agana and cannot possibilly get here at that time." Lieut. B. replied that as Agana was only four mil. a away they could yery easily arrive In time and that thsy must do so and the governor then reluctantly wrote out the order and handed it to Lieut B. who waived it aside saying it was a pri vate letter and ha hud no right to read jit. When this was said the governor leaned forward on his arm and cried bit terly. The other officers had finished writing to their families and these let ters were all sent on by messengers. The governor and hisstalf.ronsistlngof Capt Duarte, secretary of the governor ; Lieut Uutieir and Pr. Komero, were then put In a ho.it and the party started for tho Charleston. While on the way the to dla-two landing force was signaled to return the ships, and it was a lot of very gusted boys who came back. At o'clock Capt. Glass and the executive of ficer of the Charleston raised the stars and stripes on the fort. When the (lag unfurled to the brecia the Charleston gave tho national salute of 21 guns and the hands on the Peking and Australia played the "Star Spangled Banner, With the raising of the flag America took formal possession of all tho Ladrone Islands. At tour p. m. Lieut. B. and Knsign Evans returned to the shore with a de tachment of marines and found the Span ish army drawn np in single rank await' ing them. The "City of Sydney" had been outside the bav all this time but was now signaled to come in and she anchored a hundred yards from us. The Spanish troops were under the command of Lieut. Katnos,of the Spanish infantry; and Lieut. Bessauso, of the Spanish navy. The soldiers were then formed in single rank and each stepped np to En sign Evans, opened the breech of his gun, handed over his gun to Evans, placed his ammunition, belt, bayonet and equip ment on a pile and stepped aside. When all the soldiers had been disjiosed of the marines presented arms and ine SpanUh officers turned over their swords to Lieut. B. When these soldiers were told to get in the boat they were as much surprised as had been the governor. They said they had not bid goodbye to their families, but Lieut. B. said they could semi messages by the native sol diers. This was the first intimation the natives had that they were not to lie taken along, but seemed afraid to ex press themselves. Later when they were told that they were discharged ami no longer under Spanish rule they ca pered around, fairly yelling, and tore the biass buttons and insignia olf their cuttl. Theu the Spaniards were ordered into the boats and at this most of them broke outcrying and embracing the natives. The soldiers were taken to the "Sydney" and later the governor and his staff were taken then from the Charleston and all pntunJera close guaid. They will be taken on to Manila. As prisoners of war we have the goveinor, five officers and 54 men. We got 54 Mauzer model '00 rifles, 54 Remington rifles, 7500 rounds of Mauzttr ammunition and about two bushels of loose Remington shells and four Spanish flags. Looking at the surrender one might think that the governor had been very foolish in giving op so easily. With his small force he could have done some damage to us. While our landing force were in the boats it would have been an easy matter for the Spaniards to have lain in ambush and picked off a numoer of our boys. Another thing they could have evaded capture for some time at least. If they had killed any of our men we could do nothing more than take them prisoners as we have dune. Lik ing at it in that light the surrender does seem loolish. But the governor looked at it differently. When he came down to the shore he saw in the harbor a for midable war ship and tlircu transports loaded with troops. lie realized that lib coma not hold out against us. The principal factor in the surrender was that the governor had pot the slightest Mea that we were going on to Manila. He thought that we came there to rap ture the islands and would occupy them, I think that if he bad known we were going on to Manila the surrender would i . -.. uui naro itrt'u kv noun, xlifl goVfirtlOr was in total ignorance as to the state of war and did hot even know of Dewey's victory. He was very much astonished to learn that the Spanish f)t bad been destroyed and greatly disgusted. On Wednesday morning General Anderson appointed Ihos. Wnson governor of the islands. Wilson U the only American on the island now. He was born in Agana 2S years ago, his parsnU being Cahfornians. lie U engaged in the trading business in Agana. This ended our work in the Ladrones snd we left there about 2:30 Wednesday. I think the Ladrones will prove valuable acquisition to the United States. It is true that they are sur rounded by coral reefs and the hay and harbor are full of such reels, but already there is a good channel in tiie harbor. With a little work this harbor could be made one of the finest in the world and it is so situated that it could be fortified impregnable against any sea attack. As a coaling station these islands would be of immense value. These islands have a population of 8000 and the principal industries are the capra (dried cocoanut) trade, raising hemp, corn, sugar cane, and coffee. Guam is the principal island and Agana the capital. At Piti the governor has an office and the custom house is also stationed there. Piti is merely a small village however. Agana is 4 miles from this point. I would have gone over to Agana If It had not bven so far. On Wednesday at 4 110 a. m, I left the ship In a small boat and went oyer to Suinay. Bumay Is a village of 500 In habitants, every one being natives. On landing, my first Impression was that I had dropped back Into tho old woild. All the houses are alike, with tho ex ception that a few aru built of wood, the majority being of stone. They are painted a hits and are kept very clean, Another peculiar point is that they hiw all of the same shape, almost square and resembling a "box house" at homo. Those built of wood are made of 12x1 rough luinW with 2x2.' strips over the cracks. They are all built on stone foundations. Tim walla of tho stone houses are from 2 to 3 feet thick with square, windows, but wooden bars In stead of glass. They aro typical old Spanish dwellings. Although very primitive in t it things ;ot in a few things they aro a little up to dale. Tho floors iu nearly every house aro of hard wood and la some houses are to bo found hard wood center tables, chairs etc. In a few houses you find mirrors, kerosene lamps and a few pictures, but the fur mailings of all house aro osi lively poor having almost nothing. A there Is not a stove In the entire village all cooking is done on fires between stones. I did not see a dish of any kind while there So far as I could seo, these natives lived olf of fruits, breadfruit andsaeet otatoc and fish. They grind their breadfruit In stone mortars. There Is no business of any kind transacted and it looks as they all lived together for tho sake of companionship only. All dress Is alike and it is as primitive as their other modes of life. Tho men's dress consist of sandals, cotton trousers and shirt, am straw hat. Women dress In cotton skirt and a waist which looks very much like a flour sack with arm holes cut in it, and sometimes sandal. A cotton skirt com prises the full dress of children, male and female. It is hard to tell of what origin these natives aro. A few of them have acquired a smattering of English from whalers putting in thore, but not enough to carrv on a conversation They are all a coper color and yoq w ill find some with a distinct Chinese cast of features other look like Japanese and some vou would say were American Indian. There is certainly some Japan ese and I hinese blood among xiiein, however, they are. a far as could le seen, in a very fair state ol civinsition. One does not need to le told that the yokeot Spain is heavy after seeing these people. Owing to the lark of not Mug able to make ourselves understood wo could not ham very much from the natives but their ae'ion were sufficient to tell us they were glad to bo freed from Spain. At every birth the father ha to pay a tax of fu and at a death fit. It is rather tculiar that every one who dies is "lost at sea." The natives told us this with a shrug of the shoulders. Every man, woman and child is taxed $1 50 per year and also a church tax of 25 cents per month. The church also gets 10 per rent of all taxes collected f heso natives could not do enough for us and if we had taken it they won 1I have given us their all. Every house we passed was sure to have someone at the window or door asking us in. If we enteiod tho first thing dona was to bring out fruit, native gin and cigars and when we would leave we would be offered more than we could take away. When ever we would mention America an exultant expression would light up their face as they called u their new brothers and saiil they wore Americans too. But I thought that this apparent rejoicing was part of Spain's teaching. "Yester day, Spain all right today America all right" said an old man. Upon being questioned iie said : "If I say Kjln no good yesterday" (here he made a sound and drew his finger around his neck.) I supose he thought he hud to uphold America now it or would be all oir with him. Here Is another result of Spain's despotism, which, howeyer proved fortunate for one of our officers. Lieut. DraH-e, itt compftuy with a number ol officers welil over to the village Tuesday hlglii. Nearly all of the officers wore their belts with their revolvers. When the parly I was with landed Wednesday morning one of the natives pointed to a revolver and belt lying over a post and remarked that it bad been left there. We readily recognized it as belonging to Brszee. That revolver was loaded ami had lain there all night without being touched. Lieut. Brazee had taken ft off and laid it on the post and forgotten it. We learned that under the laws of the islands it was death for a native to have firearms of any description in his pos session, so this was undoubtedly the reason for its not being touched. In this village yon can got chickens for 50 cents per dozen. Two cows, one steer, two very skinny dogs, some hogs and chickens comprised the animal population. We bought for the ship 2000 limes at 1.80 per thousand . The one drawback to these islands is that It rains every day in the year. The Japanese current starts here and this is the cause of so much rain. The sky will be perfectly clear and tho sun shining ft brightly when, in the twinkling of an eye, the rain will come down In torrents. It stops as suddenly as it begins and in a short time you would not know it had ruined. Altogether, as I said before, these islands will be a valuable acquisition to tho United States and it will bo well for ti t keep them, Wo expect now to end our voyage next Tuesday morning snd this event a III he hullod with Joy by ull. It hna been a long, weary trip, much longer than we ever exacted. Since leaving Frisco wo have only passed two ship and these More we reached Honolulu, Home little diversion wa created before snlv Ing at (Ilium by tho Charleston's target practice several nlteriioona, Big white targets, made of canvas and shaped like a tent were dropped uvurlioard and when two or three mile away, the gun would le turned loose. Tho Charleston did some excellent shooting. One of tho hardest features of our trip I that wo get no news. We know aUolulely nothing of what has transpired since May 1!H, The r might hoended for all wo know. I forgot to say that I went over In see Fort S iiita Cru which tho Charleston shelled. Tho foil, which i In ruins, Is on a small island about I 'J mile out from shore. It ha not been occupied for the laHt half century and wa never intended for anything more than a de fence against the natives, and conse quently never had a ranuoii in it. It I about 40x50 feet and built of alone, coral rock and cement, tho walla being about three leol ttilek. At present there la no roof but It is to bo seen that tho hack hall of it was resiled at one time, and this part wa used a the living quarters, Tho lint half has never had a roof and tho walla at the top hIohi at a small angle. They have had a good owdcr maguilno and at one tlmn this fort must have been a gxd defence. It I now entirely In ruin and overgrown with bushes, weeds etc, There 1 a square tablet on it, at the top there is carved a cross with Mary kneeling at it under Hill tho Spanish coat of arm and at tho bo! lorn the inscription "Se fabric kto Castillo, Ano D. O. 1801" "Thin rastlo was built In tho near of Grace 1X()." Manila Bay, Juno 30 Hero o aro In Manila bay, just olf Cavlle, and sur rounded by Dewey's fleet.

There is no ficidi tuvat and the people are starving Dewey, however, is Inclined to wall tho arrival of the next expedilluii before doing anything. Thore is no doubt but what we will have hail some kind of a scrap before this reaches you. 1 am in clined to think our victory will ho easy. U e heard tonight that a Spanish gun boat had come in yesterday and sur rendered. I do not know how true this A we woie coming up the bay this afternoon we saw an immense cloud of smoke hanging over the land. l ater we were told this was a battle In pro- great between the Insurgents snd Span iards, in which there were loveral thousand men engaged. Tonight we ran see a yillagn.ou fire, the work of tho In surgents. The work of landing us will commence tomorrow and welcome wotk it will be. We will all be very glad to get off tho boat. I find that I have been misinformed as to the Guam matter, Wilson was not appolnteJ governor nor any one else, but Portusac, the naturalized American, has been delegated to oversee affairs. I have tried to give you an accurate account and believe that now it is correct. k Your affectionate brother, Jamks Kintoii, cnttitTi, (llrfiillecnirl rnnvtuiaa tlrat Mnn ay lu No romlwraml tlilnl MmiiUy III April, Probata omirt lu iohIuii drat MoniUy In oh mouth, nomtnlaaloiierarmiirt tnnU r Wndiivaday illui Ural Monday ultmtili niiiiiih, okkhon city omnciift. - K.
