Aa Interesting Letter From H. L. McAllstor
of Lexington.
The following letter was kindly ten
dered tbe Gazette for publication by Mr.
and Mrs. W. B. McAIister, received un
der date of Jane 2d, from their son, who
was oonspicuous as tbe champion foot
ball blayer of tbe Ojrvallis college team,
now a member of Oregon's volunteers at
Manila:
Dear Father and Mother: To'hauin
with I will state that I am enjoying the
best of health. Leaving San Franoisco
hurriedly, I had eorcely time to write
you. I am now with mv oomnanv ami
have more time for letter-writing. Rs
garding army life, I oan say thai I h
not experienced tbe hardships I antici
pated; but there is no tellinu what is vet
in store for us before we return to our
native land. Anticipating being blown
up by Spanish bombs in tbe near futnr
is by no means a pleasant feeling.
We arrived here last night, without a
stop, just seven days from San Fran
cisco. Like all Others. I eiDerinnnerl a
sieire of three-days' seasickness, followed
by a desire for an increase of rations.
Honolulu, tbe OSDltsl of Hawaii, dis
tant 2,100 miles from Han Franoisoo, has
a DODUlutlon of fiO.nOO inhahitanto m-
braoing representatives of everv nation.
alily, tbe English language prevailing
wnue ibe majority speak the native
tongue. The island of Hiwaii, e nbraoea
more territory than the eleven additional
islands of the group. The soil and mnk
formations are very similar to those of
Uregon. The olimate varies but little
tbe year 'round, ranging in temperature
from Bo to 90 degrees F. Its fruit sea
son is perpetual. An American mast be
come aoolimated in order lo work oon
tinnonsly. It there is an ideal place on earth it is
here. The luxuriant growth of tronionl
fruits and plants imprusBUs witb tbe idea
of a vast greenhouse.
Long before we arrived in sight of tbe
city, strange as it mlebt seem. "Old
Glory" oould be seen waving hiah on tha
mountain side. The maioritv of n.
failed to reoognige the Hawaiian flag on
sight, but now are all familiar with it. aa
it floats from oar main mast. Bach a
demonstration aocorded ns. All Hawaii
turned oat to greet us. Tbe dooks were
lined with people, who veiled themanl vna
hoarse, and in response I oan assure yon
tbat our voices were beard aboue tha
Mdio Of a mighty roar", as we oame in
sight of the Charleston and Bennington.
AH whistlrs were turned loose, and such
scene of enthusiasm I never witnessed
before. Men, women aod children be.
sieged us wilb tbe query: "When are
you going to annex ns?"
Being compelled to remain on board.
we ipent a sleepless night, owing lo tbe
heat.
Today we were given "shore leave"
from 0 till 2 o'clook. I had the Bond
fortune to be one ot Ibe first to set foot
on foreign toil, the Amerioan Hug to be
seen on every band. Freedom of tha
oity aud itlacda was accorded tbe "tbe
biya in blue". Eight thousand dollars
bad ben subscribed for our entertain
ment, wbiob was a royal one.
Tomorrow we look forward to as tbe
"banner day''. We have beeo granted
shore leave for the day, aod atsared of
an abundance to eat Over eating, bow
ever, we are oaationel tgsiost la tbie
ellmet. A grand parade is the order of
Ibe day. 1 anfortuoaiely sprained my
ankle while on duty aa corooral of tha
gourd, which prevents me participating.
II possible, I mast attend ths barl.sane
promised for tomorrow, and until then
shall nurss my ankle very carefully.
