A war letter to Prof. Schmitt of the

C.vvitb Absisal, Cavite, P. I., July 28.
1898.
As I learned this evening that mail
Is going to leave the islands for the U, 8.
on Thursday or Friday, I decided to do
what I have intended doing ever since I
left home, and that is to drop you a short
epistle, to you who have been my fiieiu'
the last year.
We arrrived, as yon know, in Cavite,
after a long and tedious, but neverthe
less dlightful trip, on the "8th day of
June, nearly one month ago. There is a
mall party of us boys gathered around
an old school-desk, which we took out of
one of the old buildings that was used as
a school house by the Spanish, wilting
letters to our mothers and friends
Cavite is an old and quaint town with
a big!) surrounding wall about 10x2o ft.
It in probably 350 years old and in it's
prosperous days was very substantial and
well fortified, in fact, if it were equipped
with modern guns and the right kind of
eoldier.American Volunteers torinstance,
the whole world would have a vety dif
ficult task entering, by nature she is a
fort, being at the entrance of a very nar
row part oi Manila bay and eurrouaded
on the other three sides by swamps,
which are oncrowable by any human us
ing, with the exception of one small road
which could be well guarded by modern
guns. I am not speaking of Cavite itself
ana not the entire island, you see. At
one timetbe Arsenal has been a beautiful
place with it's old and large stone build
ings with thick walls and tiled roofs sur
rounded with much foliage, plants and
nowvrs ot a peculiar cature. peculiar I
mean to the eye of one from a temperate
Climate, it's many drive-wavs and wind

Deaouiut palace gardens you have
dreamed of or read about. In fact, ia
time, this could be niatis one of the most
beautiful spots of the wortV. And they eay
Manila is just o much pretuer.no wonder
the boys are all anxious to move towards
that coveted spot, and I think that we
soon eba:l as Uen'IMenitt has arrived on
the scene of action, it beio vry little
action though since we arrrived.
This is a way long after "taps" and
th Hospital corps bovs are snoring ail
around us.
The building tbst we are quartered in
is of the same kind as I have aentioned,
being an old Soanish chapel a toot
110x40x30 ft. in size, sepaiated into two
parts by an arch. ,TU part that we oae
for our bunks and dispensary is about
rne-tbird the axe of the building while
the other two-thirds used lor a hos
pital, at present we have only 17 patients
in the bosifttal and 29 in quarantine. Of
course this number vartee every day.
I kaow exactly as to the bealth of the
boys, which is very, very good, as you
can see from the number cf sick, because
I have charge of all Uteeick repo ts, rig

The Guard gives the followiug account
of the threshing accident at fcaiith

This morning about 7 o clock a terrible

Yesterday afternoon the engine foamed

Now, a few words before closing about

are funny looking little creatures, with
very odd clothing and wavt, we in their
estimation, are " Jlucbo Grndi, " mean
ing big men, and to tell lbs truth they
are afraid of u. I auproe tbev think
we are tome kind ot a foreign devils just I
made to fight, for that is ail they think a
man is for. Tbev say "Americano et
Pbiliippico omega ' meaning friends,
bile "liispanola, fbtllippino boon:
boom!" meaning that the Spaniards
ho were once very oppressive and
treacherous are now their particular ene
my and they will kill them whenever tbey
bave a cbanoe. To demonstrate this, too
ought to bear the fighting across the Bay
every night, for tiiey fight at night, and
bear them tell oi bow tbey have the
Spaniards surrounded in Manila, with
oothing for tbem to eat. fher have

Lncln Mm "tbev would fare even worse
than they do in Manila. The native wo
men are horrible looking things, going
around with about a dozen "kids" bang
ing around tbetn. As they go along
with baskota of fruit and stuff on their
heads, for they are the working class,(the
men you know fight) tbey give one the
idea of a monkey or baboon with an old
rag ot two tied around tbem wa.k'.ng up
right. Tbe children are practically
naked. You see tbey now occupy tbe

topied and tbey come in rod out ol those

The messenger said it was Uie general
opinion ol those on tbe scene, that the
cause uf the explosion was too much
water ia the botV-r. We interviewed
several engineers and tbey were all
against this theory. They ! tbe
cause was a lack of water, as the inten
sity of the expUwion undoubtedly show
ed. They al were of the opinion that
the ball lever gaujre could not be depend

Further Particulars.
Tha Eugene Gaard gives the following
additional particulars in teference to the
threshing accident :
The cue cf the explosicn ba been
fo'ly de'.ermtiied It appears ibat tbe
evening before the engine and outfit had
been moved to the held where the explos
ion took place. Tbe engineer. Kred Hett,
following his custom while moving,
keved down the safety valve with a ten-
penny nail and he lorgot to remove the
ail in tbe m or nil g.aod the steam gauge
being broken and removed, the eogtoeer
tad very little warning. Of course this
shows negligence. It is hut just to sy
concerning Mr. Hett that be rob engines
for a nutnbor of years. The nail is stid
actio g as a key io tue vaivs, where
placed. Several persona wuiessed it.
The engine, a ten bone power, raised
in the air, passed completely over. the
separator, about 60 feet distant, and
landed 150 leet from where it e'arted and
then reoounded a distance of VO feet,
making a total distance it actually Sew
240 feet. Tbia shows tha immense
pressure of i team. While the boiler waa
an old one, under the circumstances, it is
likely aoy boiler wonld have eiploded.
Tbe boiler burst on the If It aide in the
tire box, and tbe forward portion was al
so blown away. An idea of the force of
the explosion mav be gained from the
fact that the men acere blown from 30 to
120 feet from where tbey stood, actual
measurement shows Lemlry was blown
the latter distaure.
Dr. J. W. Harris returned shortly af
ter noon and informs us that .Letaley
died suddenly this morning, lie so-
peared to be entirely out ot daoger, and
in sp'cudid spirits when suddenly he

Dr. Harris attributes the sudden death
to tbe bursting ol a blood vessel weak'
ened by tbe shock.
