Through Hit klndiieaa of Mrs. V. A.
llunlluy we publish tli following x
tract from a lollnr wrltteu by Lieuten
ant llunlluy I
Manila, 1. I., Ati. 81st.,lleadiiart
ere 2nd Ore. Vol.
CoKHTKL lit, KnI-AMA. NOW II to til
happenlnaof tht past fnw days, we
reached Manila our third Ilstalwut
.oIkIiI tblrty a. m. ml spont two
iiouri unloading In the but gun. I u,
and am Hill, cling adjutant (or (be
third Hat. and tht major bad ordered ma
to look after the unloading ol the t'aaoo,
the lighter which carried our Impedi
menta, It toon became blistering hot
tht tun began to mount, and when
through wltb tba Job I waa saturated
with presplretlun (or I am Kill wearing
tha heavy, padded blue blouse and I
dreaded the one-mile walk to the
barrack. Imagine my delight when
down tba hot atreet came a galloping
orderly with two led hereet, one (or the
major and one for the adjutant. I
mounted that little Chinese pony with
grateful heart and Jogged along after
tba major with my (not nearly touching
tba ground. Tick made Iota of (tin of
me.
As we turned off tha beach road to
enter tba walled city or Inlromuros, aa
tba Bpanlsh call it, tha frowning guna
on the high walla confronted ui and aa
wa aae4 through narrow defile
wltb walla higher than our heads and
a urtlclently wide for four men abreaat I
waa very thankful that thoae guni were
not abutted. Immediately after the de
file came a narrow atone bridge over
canal or moat and then of ooune a draw
bridge. The old city la moat admirably
fortified, and the tame enormous wall of
inaaonry extends clear around It, pureed
by aeveu gates. Outaida tba wall la the
moat full of elugglah water overgrown
w lib email bushes. Kxcept on the
aide there la a second or ouUtr wall be
yond the muat and the gatoa of tliii wall
re leo protected ty drawbridge.
Imagine itormlng city protected by
two twenty foot walla wltb an almost
Impaaalbla inoet tetween. Add to inch
aituation conitrurtlon of will that
rmlta atormlng party to be flanked
at nearly all approaches by cannon, to
fay nothing ol the gun pointed directly
at them, and you ran imagine that five
thousand good men might hold out for
ever except for provlilon and water.
Our quartera are much belter here
than lu Cavita and we are wry com
(urtably fixed except In the matter of
light clothing that la Jiml now beginning
to arrive. Everybody weara white from
bead to foot except on duty, and many
rcglmenta are now equlpd with white
duly uniform.
Tba rhurchea here, and there are four
or five In tho walled city alone, are
Imply immense. They extend over
whole, big blocka, are three atoriea high
nd in them are quartered the fawnish
eoldlera'and much captured commissary
atorci over which we keep guard. Tha
churchei are Indescribably filthy; they
lank ao that I became faint, and aome
of the eentriee had to be relieved on ao
count of sickness. The filth wat alinoat
knee deep and great clouda f fliee big
carrion flics were trying their beat to
clean It up but they stood no show.
Well, the major aoon Inaugurated
change. Miiks were dug and the gar
bage waa aoon carried away, and now
they are quite decent. While I am on
tliie moat unpleasant subject I want to
aay that the flpanish and Filllplnoa ara
the dirtiest and filthiest people I ever
beard of In tha matter of garbage of all
kind. The only reason tbat I can learn
aa to w hy they don't have plague la be
cause of tha atrong clearifylng brecae
each afternoon. It tempera tha beat,
cleara the air and drivea away tba
moeuuitoea,
There la not ao much of interest to
visit here aa one would imagine in this
two hundred-year-old city. The shop
keepers have doubled prices in most
Instances, for the Americana are certainly
"UhIi." Thoy pay fubuloue prices for
any old thing wltb never question aa to
its real value. The bulky Mexican sil
ver cannot be carried In purse or
pocket without making one lop sided, so
belt with big leather pocket la worn.
On the same belt is also the leather
watch pocket for these light muslin
trousers are without evtii watch
pocket.
The atreet cars aio "punk," A weokly
ly service up one week and back the
next. The modo of getting around Is In
carriages. About five p. in, the fashion
ables In their pretty victorias and the
common triwli in Ciiriimatus or two
wheeled carts Hppenr on the I.iinnlta or
popular drive along the beach. There
is continuous string of them 'till about
eight o'clock 'till they iliive homo to
dinner, the heavy meal being eaten be
tween eight and 10 p. m. The ladies all
ride without any head dress whatever.
Thoy look very charming with hair
carefully dressed na they pass under the
electric lights with thulr gauzy (Irenes.
Even walking in the streets, though a
ladv nevor does that for more than a few
doors in the city, limy have no head
cover. On the Lunetta they often get
out of the cairiages and walk long dia
anceswith the driver keeping pace with
H
them. On either end of the I.unetla,
drve of about ono mile, la band stand
surrounded by circular drive where, in
tha palmy days of rlpanlsh iiosHesslori,
celebrated bands discoursed sweet music.
Kelly and I often ride during the
evening parade, but never s glance do
we gut for the Biinorlla have no use (or
an Americana,
The city la full of prlesta and monks
and they rule with an Iron hand. Mostly
thoy are evil, brigandish looking fellows,
from whom one would expect atab In
tha back.
Kveryona you know Is well, Pickens,
Philips, Norrla, Kelly, Moffat t, Harding,
CampiMill, Wa have (our sick in the
hospital, three o( them wltb malaria,
none dangerously III, In (act the surgeon
baa promised to send them back In a day
or Iwo. We will (etch everybody home
with us.
September ft Pickens remarked thi
morning, "Huntley, you are getting fat.1
If I can flesh up In this climate I must
bean exception, for almost everybody
la gelling thinner. One baa such an ex
cessive inspiration and eata ao little, at
least I do, tbat I can't seo bow evoirdn-
pols could be gained. I eat very little,
Just enough to satisfy hunger, and that
of tha plainest food, consisting princl
pally of oatmeal, rice, vegetables and
tale bread. Meat, wa bave but twice
week;etigs have leen ao exiwnalve In
Manila that wa have dropped them from
our bill of fair entirely. 1'hlllpe, Pick
ens, and I atill eat out of doors on little
tough table without clotb or napkins.
Others rat inside In very cramped
quartera.
Wa ara having considerable sickness
In our company now, though it la not
aerioua, being all malarial In character
and taken in time, yields readily to
medicine.
Hnptember 11 Tonight I learn that
the Nrwport leaves tomorrow at noon
for a fast trip home ao I shall have the
pleasure of answering your letter Im
mediately even If It Is long before you
will receive it.
Kelly and I can't keep from talking
about tha mountains and the cold springs
up tha Clackamas. For over two
months now I haven't really slacked my
thirst; A glass full of water is the ex
treme limit and It seems aa though pail
lull would't be enough to satisfy me
1 think you need not worry about the
insurgents causing ua any trouble.
Should our government retain control of
tha Islands I think tha insurgents aa a
body would be entirely satisfied, but to
come again under tba dominion ol the
Spaniards never. They will fight to
the bitter end and they are preparing in
every possible way for the struggle. Of
cou rue Agninaldo and other leadera
would prefer to establish their own gov-
ernment,but the people would not follow
them against the Americanos. The in
surgents surround the city almost the
same aa before It surrendered but they
re Rot permitted to coma in armed, or
re they allowed todo ao, but just wait
'till we let go, indications ara that we
will, and won't tha Spaniards and in
surgents have merry time of it.
The first amusement in five months
(or me came off at Theater Filipino the
other night, and it was moat entertain
ing. I aend you tba program ; it waa
largely original and mostly funny. One
original recitation I am trying to get. It
recites the trials and tribulations of the
enlisted men in comical way and con
tains much more troth than poetry,
although tha latter la not atll bad.
Wa ara still doing nothing but holding
down our barracks and few near out-
posts- One Bat. would ba amply audi
cient to do the work that the regiment la
doing. It seems aa though they must
aoon begin to aend troops home unless
they Intend permanent occupation.

A letter from the Philippines, written
by Wm. Humpbris, Co. I). 14 Inft.,
Manila, P. I., a nephew of Mrs. Eliza
beth Warner.
Manila, T. I. Sept. 12, 1898. I re
ceived vour welcome, long-looked (or
letter yesterday while ou picket duty
watching the Insurgents. A messenger
biouht It out to me. It has be on u long
time coming, being dated June 24. Sup
pose I had better begin at the beginning
and tell you all about everything.
We lauded July 2, at a pluce called
Cavito (Cah-veet). It is the arsenal and
dockyard of Manila, about .10 miles from
it by water ami about eight miles by
land, it ymi can oil it land where It
in waioi Uuep iu winuf for miles and all
the rest of the way, up to your knees in
mud. We had very good quarters there
at first, but aa more troops kept coming
we were shifted about until at last we
were jammed pretty close togethor and
Oh I the boat, it was something ewlul at
first, and the mosquitoes!!! There is
one particularly virion, kind that stings
as sharp as a bee. It will wake you up
out of the soundest sleep. There is
another kind that you cannot fool bite,
but it leaves a red spot tbat itches for a
week, and! if you scratch It to break the
skin It leaves a sore tbat won't heal for
months. Home of the boys look lovely.
Cavlte Is properly two towns. There
Mch Is simply a large
' f,.r I,.. I
ontaina but government
Mil, -.11 'JJT ,, Ulin V, in. I,I.V ,.-tm.r.,
surrounded by a high wall, and the
tiHtlvo town, which lies unt outside.
There the natives swarm Ilka rat.
There must be bslf a million of them.
All of their bouses are built alike, of
bamltoo thatched with leaves. Tba
floor la raised about (our feet from (be
ground and there ia abort ladder for
them to go In and out. They won't sleep
on the ground even on s pile of leaves,
on account of the, et and vermin of
different kinds, but we bave to, at least
three nights a week and on the bare
ground at that, Wa got along pretty
well at Cavita after awhile. Wa were on
short rations at first, and there waa
trouble about the cooking, as tbera waa
no wood, but tba boys rigged up stove
out of soma square blocka of atone ana
we burned coal. There was plenty of
tbat.
There la no water there except rain
water. All of the buildings are covered
with galvanised roofs and tba Spanish
have built large tanks to collect the
water that run off. It rained nearly
every day we weie there, but wa ran
short of water once. 6000 men can use
an astonishing amount of water. Cavita
ia on the Inland of Luzon the same aa
Manila, but it forms a peninsula and is
to all Intents and purpose, a separate
island. It 1 where the Spanish pris
oners are confined, except those which
surrendered st the fall of Manila, Since
I began writing this, four of them came
in and surrendered to some of our troops
They escaped from the insurgents at
Cavlte ; nina of them started but (our
of them starved to death on the way, it
took them ao long to come 30 miles.
The harbor ia full of sunken Spanish
warships. In the Inner harbor there ara
even and (our outside. When wa first
got there the beacb at low tide smelt
horribly. It waa lined with wreckage
from the ahlpe, dead men'a clothes,
papers, and all aorta of trash. All
around the ahlpe at night, the water
shone like phoepbo.-us, for there were
over 1000 Spaniards drowned there In a
place about balf a mile square. At the
end of tha jetty or breakwater are
planted two guna. On the day the ships
were sunk, each gun had its crew of 12
men waiting for our tbipe to come in
range. They stand on a wall bout lour
feet above high water. The Baltimore
fired shell st the first gun and struck
tba wall just below the gun and scooped
out about a wagon load of rock. It
wiped out every man at the gun; killed
two and wounded four. The crew of the
other gun spiked both guns, picked Dp
the wounded and ran away. I send you
enclosed a piece of grasa that I picked
off from the spot. Astray shell atruck
close to the hospital, so the surgeons ran
away and when Dewey'a men came
ashore they found 10 men lying on the
floor bled to death. Tha blood waa still
there when we arrived.
Well, if I don't getaway from Cavlte
I will never get to where we are now.
We stayed thereabout a month and after
two attempts, we landed on the Manila
sido. The first day it waa too rough to
land and we bad to go back, but on the
second attempt we were successful, niter
swamping two boats. Tbera were five
boat loads of ua, about 200 men in a
boat, towed by steam launch. The
water waa too shallow lor the launch to
go close in so she caat na off about a
quarter of a mile from shore and then
the fun began. Tba first boat drifted
broadside on and filled with water di
rectly and also the third boat. We
atruck bow on and had to wade aahora in
water uo to our armpits. Wa lost all
the perishable provisions, some guns
etc., but no lives. We were afraid the
Spanish would attack ua for we could see
them watching us, but onr ships were
watching them so they thought it best to
leave us alone.
We went into camp at place christ
ened "Camp Dewey." It la in a very
good place, in a peanut field, a mile
long, good sandy soil but no wood ex
cept green bamboo, and no water other
than aurface water. There was the
same old trouble about cooking. The
natives claimed all of the bamboo wood
around and would not let us cut any
until we shot a few of them. Two men,
with rifles had to go with every wood
detail, but we chopped up the boats tbat
wore wrecked and managed some way.
We did not stay there long or I don't
know what we should bave done. We
did not gbt much rest there. We laid
over one day and on the second morning
were sent to niann the advance trenches.
There had been more or leas fighting be
fore we got there nearly every night, but
for a week everything has been quiet.
We did not know that there was a little
surprise in store for us. On the way to
the trenches we noticed marks of shot
and shell; all about the bamboos were
burned but the natives were moving
about as unconcerned as ever, selling
fruit and stuff. There ia no telling how
many of them have been killed, for
their houses are just as thick as can be
right where the fighting had hoen going
on and a bullet will go through a row of
them. We got to the trenches all right
aud everything waa quiet ail day until
just after dark, when word was passed
along the line that they were coming,
and Biire enough, in a few moments they
came. First, we beard a few rifle shots
and then wa saw a bright flash and In
about two seconds something passed
close over our heads, which one of the
men said wa a wbnl harrow. It bnrsted
In a native bouse about 60 yards behind
us. Directly after, two more came, at
the same time one pitched In the mud
just behind my squad and did not burst,
while the other bursted In honse on
our line. Well, they kept this op be
tween one and two houses; one continual
rattle of musketry . The horrible noise
that the shells made I cannot describe.
There were several different sizes of
them and after awhile we could tell by
the flash what site our next visitor would J
be. There were two gun in particular
that fired 250-pound shells. They had a
rapid fire gun that threw about 40 shells
per minute, yiclous little beast about a
big around as hen's egg and about
three times as long. They would bave
gone right through our breastworks bnt
there waa something the matter with
them, for very few of them bursted and
they mostly went over na. Pretty aoon
we began to get our work in. There
were five companies of the H'b, A, O, D,
E, and F, and four companies of the 23d
on the fighting line besides a battery of
(our guna of the Utah artillery, but for
aome reason they did not fire a shot,
although their guns were turned on the
enemy's line. We poured volley after
y jlley into them, and also independent
firing, that ia, every man Irea as ba
thinks fit, until their fire began to
slacken and then "cease firing" was
sounded. The Spanish came witbin 40
yards of na at one time, hut they could
out stand trie bail of lead that we poured
into them, and we have beard since that
they feared aome trap waa set (or them
aa they knew our guna were there and
could not understand the reason of their
silence. Neither could we, and we can't
yet. The 14th lost two killed and about
12 wounded, and the 23d lost one killed
and five wounded. D Co., lost two
badly wounded. The man killed was
on my right, five men between ns.
As we stood in line shell came through
tha breastworks and bursted, blowing
him all to pieces and badly wounding
two more. It knocked down and partly
stunned doren. The dead man's
brother among them. Their name is
Howell and they live aomewhere in the
Willamette valley. Co. C lost man
the same way; a shell took his hoad off
level with his mouth. The 23rd man
was killed with a bullet. We killed 100
and wounded 340, rather more than
there was on our aide on the fighting
line actually firing, for Co.C did not fire a
shot. We did not know it at the time
but we (ound out afterward tbat. there
were 8J00 Spaniards and barely 500 ol
us. iu to l silver price, iney took
every available man they bad, leaving
behind only enough to garrison the city.
They intended driving ns all Into the sea,
but they did not reckon about running up
against the regulars. They had been
twld that the volunteers would run if
closely attacked, and if any body of
troops once took to running at night in
these swainpe, it would be all up with
them. What saved na was. they shot
too high; our breastworks would stop
their bullets, but their shells would go
through like going through paper. If
they had aimed a little lower they
would bave wiped us out. A bullet bit
my gun and several times the shells
threw mud on me. I don't know tbat
I was particularly scared, but muat aay
was glad when it waa over. We went
out again two nights after but there was
no fighting tbat night as it rained too
hard.
To give yon an idea bow it can rain in
this infernal country I will tell you of an
incident. My tin cup which i about six
inches hlgb and holds l)t pints, waa
sitting by my side on the breastworks
when it commenced to rain. About an
hour afterward I happened to look at my
cup and it was running over. No water
could have gotten into it except by fall
ing straight in. Now six inches of rain
in a month in Oregon ia considerably
over the average and this (all in an hour
and it kept it up at that rate all night.
We did not bave a thing to shelter us so
you can imagine we got very damp. It
waa amusing to see some of the men try
ing to sleep on the ground. Of course it
was warm and they could get no wetter
anyway. Some would lay on their backs
and cover their faces with their bats.
That worked all right uutil the water
came up to the level with their mouth
and then they would Jump up coughing
and cursing a blue streak. After this
we did not go out again until the attack
on Manila, w hich took place on Satur
day, AugiiBt 13. It turned out much
easier than we expected. The Spaniards
were very much afraid of the fleet. v Four
ships lined up in front of the city to
assist, but only two of them fired a shot.
The first shot was fired about 10 a. m.
and our troops were in the city before
4 p. m. I don't know to this day the
exact number of men that were lost on
either side. It was below 20 on our
side, but the Spanish loes was consider
able. The 14th Intt. did not go into the city
at all, but we occupy quarters at a place
called Malate, just outside of the walls.
They are good quarters, built for the
Spanish volunteers, but when we took
possession of them they were filthy.
There waa a wabhrooui nicely fitted np
with imitation marble wash basins.
They had been used for every purKse
but washing, for we had cut off their
water supply months ago. The quarter
master hired gang of natives and now
tha place ia as clean as ft new pin. If
man throws piece of paper or cigarette
atump on tba ground he has to pick it np
and put it In the ash barrel. Yesterday
I aaw a man spit through the railings on
to the sidewalk ; an officer happened to
see him andmarched him off to the
guard bouse. The place ia being swept
continually.
The health of the men has been very
good nntil lately considering all thing,
but now they are beginning to sicken
There are 1500 on the sick report, 200
were sent borne the other day on one of
the returning transports. I don't know
at all bow long wa ara likely to stay here
but am afraid we will have trouble with
the Insurgents. They keep ns on the go
all tha time. We are liable to be called
out any minute, night or day, but they
are a little afraid of us, for i( we catch
any of them out on the roads with arms
we take them away from them. It
aeema they wanted to take Manila and
sack the town, bat we won't allow one
of them Inside if we know it.
I am writing tbia in the coolest place
tbat I know of, under the building in a
hammock, at tha same time keeping s
harp lookout (or tarantulas, etc. Now
there is lota more I could tell, but will
wait until tha next time I write.
Will.
