' Last Monday's mail brought bushels of letters from the boys in far off Manila, and anxious parents and friends were re lieved to know that those in whom . they bave a special interest were well at least when the letters were written. Nearly all the volunteers from Corvallis sent two or three letters each, and they all. con tained interesting and exciting news. These communications from the soldiers contain more of the details of happenings in the Philippines than can be found in the articles of paid correspondents, and they are more entertaining from the fact that they contain more of local interest. We take pleasureJh - publishing the fol" lowing extracts from soldier boy epistles ; Mort Cockrell-has Jjiis to'sav under date of Feb. 8th, in a .'letter to his mother:, "Saturday night.V the 4th, about 10 O'clock, firing commenced in the vicinity of Molois, at 10:30 it became general all along our lines and .then Dewey began to pump projectiles into the insurgents. It was the first battle I ever heard, and to tell the truth, It was inspiring.-- As soon as the firing com menced we got up and dressed, filled our canteens and haversacks, and waited for the call to arms which we knew was com ing. At 10:30 the call came, and-you never saw a cooler lot of boys than ours. We (ell in, counted lours, then came 'Fours left, March 1' and we marched out into the street to tnke our position in the battalion. '"''" "After forming, we marched out into the street and waited anxiously for the order to. move. - A little after- midnight we came back into quarters and laid down, but could not sleep.. Soon another call came and we went out again,. andi waited -this time till daylight,A"when"We were called in for breakfast, - and , went back: w hen it was ' finished. The com-, pany .rwent to. guard" a bridge, on the outskirts' of the city, but 1 did not go along On the night of - the 8th,. we were all night lying on the; stone walks with our haversacks for pillows. . .

You can imagine-how it feels to be shut up here in the city .on; guard .duty, and all the other troops in the field covering themselves With glory7 General Hughes.; told Colonel Summers that the Oregons were the best guards he had! and he would not let them go at all, so it looks as if were doomed to stay in and patrplj rtKe; city. " 1 want to "tell you about the battle that has raged four days without stop. The insurgente i fired" upon :tbe Nebraskas first, "then upon the Colorados and finally upon the line. The boys held their fire . pretty,, well, nntil day light, when they , broke loose and shot the insurgents to pieces. They , made charge after charge, driving the 'niggers' back, and- at each charge--they killed enough of the black devils to load every bull cart in Manila. Abd then Dewey got the range, and opened upon the enemy with ' big guns and. little guns. Each shell would, hind squarely among the insurgents and mow them down like grass before a scythe. The fire con tinued all day the 5th, but stopped about dark, the rebels retreating rapidly. . Our troops "destroy or burn everything they come ' across, and show ' no quarter. That's the only way to fight tnese can nibals. The prisons are all fnll of insur gents now, and there is no more' room, so General Otis has ordered our men to take no more prisoners unless they bring their guns with them. All .the insur gents captured, .so far,- have - thrown their guns -away when they saw there was no hope for them, and come into our lines saying. 'Much Omega' (a good friend ) and of course there was nothing to do; but' take them. " Hereafter" tney will probably be shot unless they bring their . gmfs. . Their loss has averaged about 40 or 50 to the. reniment, and our troops'; the 14th imantry (regulars) have suffered the most.' - - - ' e ' Mort Vrote" again . February ' 11th: "The Americans," he says, "are driving the insurgents back all along the line, killing thd poor 'niggers' like flies. It is reported, unolficially,. that . Aguinaldo is at the head of his army now,- directing every movement.'.; If he is, you may bet he will not last long, for these old Spring fields of ours, and - the Krag-Jorgensens of the regulars, shoot wonderfully accu rate in the hands of American soldiers. The insurgents are unbkilled in the use of fire arms. They simply waste am mu nition. . Of course, in so much firing, home of our bo. 8 get struck, hut it is not like fighting men of youi equal; but it is hard to find the equal- of American soldiers. The insurgents -seem to have an unlimited supply of Mauser am muni tion 1 think Germany has been smug gling arms and ammunition over here all the time. -Germany needs a good drubbing and she will get it f she meddles any more. . Dewey .keeps a sharp lookout on the German ships in the harbor to see that :- they make no strange maneuvers. , Our boys -slip out and go to the trenches once in a while. Some of them are-, staying out there. Of course, we are all anxious to get into the scrap,, bu it looks like we wiir have to stay here in the city indefinitely. Our work here is pret ty hard ; on gnard duty every day, and when we' do sleep in quarters, it is with pur clothes .on, expecting a call to arms at any time. The : Spanish , inhabitants are leaving Manila pretty fast. The Chinese are very friendly toward us for they know they w ill lose their scalps if the insur gents get ints the city. One Chinaman, in particular, sent a lot of bread out to the boys in the trenches. , The, boy at the front have pretty good rations; fresh beef nearly every day, and with what chickens . and ducks they catch, live pretty high." Under date of February 6th and 12th, Brady Burnett, who is a corporal in Co. M, writes of the stirring events at Manila. "Trouble had been expected for several days. ' Saturday night at 8:45 p.- m Feb. 4th, shots were, plainly" heard and soon 'we 'could tell a battle was on'. . We were soon ready and a 'Call to arms' was sounded at about. 11 p. in., , We ( were marched into the street and, there.:, we. staid until a!tg. m. we theuwont nto guarte minuteV we : .-. ' .-.: . .

Span iards are very' much pleased and glad that they surrendered. We have the na tives driven way back and no telling how many have been killed. In some places they were literally slaughtered especially by the gun boats. . To give you some idea of the amount of ehootinu I saw one train of hull carts with 280,000 rounds of shells for the volunteers, and there has been a lot of artillery firing.

KiiLLV Sht Dislocate slier Keck In a Fall Down a .7, Stairway Daring tne Ni;lit-."j" j ;i On Saturday morning last a'sad and fatal accident occurred by which the wife of Rev , B.. i.. Kelly jiost . henlife. air. lveny was awaKenea about a o'clocK ia the moming by a loud noise and find ing his wife missing he -rushed down stairs, where he found hermit the foot of tue stairway unconscious and bleeding from, an ugly gash in the forehead. He aroused the neighbors and sent for physicians, who came promptly,, but all their efforts were in vain, and : Mrs. Kelly passed away in about an hour and a half after the accident. Her neck was broken and her skull fractured by the fall, and how it occurred will always re main a mystery,- Once, before, during her life .Mrs. Kelly .was known to have walked in . her sleep, and it is supposed that this -must - have been the second time, although, accidents seldom happen to sleepwalkers. ' '--' Mr". Kelly came to Corvallis about four years ago as pastor of "the". United Evan gelical church and during that time has succeeded in making a f riend of every one who knovs him, and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to him and his little motherless family of three children, the eldest of- whom is but' six years of age. '- Mrs. Kelly was an estimable woman, beloved by everybody.- She was the daughter of J. B. Dav; of Salem, and the body was taken to Salem on the "steamer Ruth on Monday last and 'buried in the Rural cemetery there. Funeral services were' held at Calvary United Evangelical church in this city last Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Rev. C. C. Poling, of Portland, preached the funeral sermon, and was assisted in the services by the ministers of the. Corvallis churches. Not half of those-who attended could get into the building, as nearly all the townspeople were" there Sympathy is all we can offer to the living, and the dead are be yond its need, but it must be a source of comfort to 'Mr. Kelly to know that he has the sympathy of everyone who knows him, in h'fcjtreat distress.- - :, . --ff-'v:"'-- '- ' :. .: ..

Bo Muck. for f A partial victory was won in the house of representatives for Yaquina bay, when it -was- decided", to leave -;th fate of -the future appropriations to aboard of engi neers' at now behooves every mend of Yaqnina, -to present to this board every bit of evidence availabte tending to prove the great necessity for 'improvement tf the harbor, and the. vast benefit-tbat will 'accrue to -the-farmers of the Wil lamette '-Valley and tne people of the state generally, by so doing. That 6r- 3ized effort along this line will be pro ductive of great re&uYi&-i most probable. The Salem Statesman makes the follow ing very excellent suggestions along this line: ' ' ' 1 ' ' " " v.".The. people of the Willamette vallley have an important duty to perform in the saving of the project for the improve ment of the Yaquina harbor. - "As a net result of the work Of the commerce committee ' of the ' United States senate in connection :;with the river and harbor' bill as it left the house, the clause repealing the' boat railway law was eliminated; the section repeal- ng the. Yaquina conntract law, was modi fied, , and $428,000 cash, appropriaeions were added to the Snake river', item, Authority was also obtained in the bill for two very 3 important ' urveys one for a 23-foot , channel at low water, from Portland to -Astoria, and ' the other to deepen the water-over Columbia bar1 to 4; feet; Eachrpodu"cerv'6t Wh'eat'and other articles' ' seeking '"foreign markets either 'in ' Eastern "or ' Western ' Oregon 1" will' be'; benefitted by thesev projects, to deepen' the channels.; , 'j ' 'In "view of 'the bitter opposition of the house of representatives to any im provement at all at Yaquina bay , it was a victory lo have the matter referred to the arbitrament of a" board of engineers." It how depends very, much on the peo-; pie .01 tne , vvniameue . ,vaiiey. as ,,to whether that board pfr engineer,,, when appointed shall be duly ..advised . of the commercial importance, of Yaquina bay improvement. The .senate committee saved to them-the opportunity to make a showing that will ih t rn save the pro-' jei;t,' but it rests with the people them selves to show"' the board of "-engineers, how ' im portaut the improvement " la.
