WASHINGTON LETTEB.
OREGON BOYS AS SOLDIERS
ON SEA OR LAND.
Radient Spring, at Ita Best-A Viait
With Lieutenant Broods,' an
Oregon Boy Misplaced
Sympathy for Aguinaldo
and His Followers.
(Special Correspondence to the Oaxette.)
Washington, May 4, 1899 It is
a satisfaction to know that Oregon
bag her sons in the service of the
country wherever there have bat.
tlea been fought on sea or land;
and that these same sons of our
state huve done their share to up
hold the honor of the state and of
the nation that is, of the flag.
Last Saturday, io company with
Mr. and Mrs. Gilfrey, I made an
other trip to Fort Meyer to visit
Lieutenant Brooks and his family,
whose home is on the beautiful
parade ground overlooking the
Patomac, with the oapitol city
reaching far beyond and all its
grand edifices and noble monu
ments rising from the farther
shore in the distance.
April has been striding along
towards spring; the world- has
grown beautiful again; all nature
smiled with sunshine and was
wonderful with bloom and verdure.
The trolley left us at George
town; then crossing the Potomao
by the aqueduct bridge, we viewed
the river shore all turned to liv
ing green, with dog-wood blooms
in sight every where. It was but a
few minutes ride to Fort Meyer
from Georgetown,:.' all the way
through woods and wilderness of
native sthrubbery that just now is
coming into the gr"M-?u8 moods of
spring. The day was perfect we
were soon landed close by the
officers' quarters at Ibe parade
ground.
A minute's walk took us to the
row of offioers' residences, where
we found Lieutenant Brooks and
his charming family. The lien-
tenant himself, bronzed and beard
ed, shows the effect of the Santi
ago climate and oft recurring at
tacks of fever. It is a year since
he left for the Cuban campaign.
He was in the battles fought at the
taking of Santiago, but came out
without a scratch. His comments
on the campaign were interesting
and would be instructive if told,
but were not intended for publica
tion. There has so much trouble
been caused by breach of confi
dence of the kind, that it is as well
to make no report or comment.
Lieutenant Brooks was not spe
cially impressed by the character
and performance of the Cuban
army or its commandeiB. While
he made no disparagement or vig
orous comment, it was easy to see
that to officers of the regular army
tne Unban style of warfare was
not considered the genuine article.
Tne fact ras that the world never
saw a more farcial warfare than for
'Cuba libra". Cuba is free, all
the same; but the farce would still
be going on if the Maine catastro-
pby bad Dot got mixed op with the
business. Then the farce became
a tragedy; war came id earnest and
in a way that Spaniard or Cuban
was never used to.
Lieutenant Edward C. Brook
seems about 38 years old. He en
tered the military academy as a
cadet July, 1882; was appointed 2d
lieutenant of the 8th cavalry July,
1886, ou graduating, which was a
compliment to bis course at the
academy. lie was promoted to
1st lieutenant .March, 1893, and
assigned to the 6th cavalry.
When the war came, a jear ago,
he went with part of hi regiment
to Cuba, where General Wood de
sired his services on bis staff, to
which he was appointed Septem
ber, 1893, with rank of assistant
adjutant-general, and captain of
volunteer. This Las pleasantly
identified him with General Wood
and bia successful work at Santi
ago, that has so improved the san
i alioa of (bat city. There is no
sewer io iU limits, but there is
natural drainage from the slope of
the surface. The thorough dous
ing of the city has worked a mag.
ical effect in its general . health
fulness. General Wood has been a favor-
ite with the president and 6sems
also to be well appreciated by the
Cubans, as they believe in him.
His confidence in Lieutenant
Brooks speaks much . in- that
officer's favor. As assistant ad
jutant general he baa now the- rank
of captain of volunteers. While
not muon infatuated, with- life in
Cuba, Captain Brooks finds service
under General Wood enjoyable,
though his regiment has left Cuba
since the war-' ended. It is now
stationed at Indian. Territory. He
will soon return to Santiago, leav
ing hia family at Fort' Meyer, It
is satisfaction to know that an
Oregon boy bred and born stands
so well and commands so much
tespect. There is no expanse of
army style in bis appearance, but
he seems-just as-an Oregon boy
should. Tbey say that intermittent
Cuban fevers have reduced him
somewhat, but he looks hearty and
strong.. How long he may remain
in Cuba will depend on the health
he cau. maintain durir g the coming
rainy season.
Leaving the parade and - dwell
ings of officers,, we' walked on
through the grounds and past
other buildings and residences to
the very verge of the bluff that
overlooks the Potomac, affording a
view of th city for miles beyond.
Highest of all earth's monoliths is
that monument to Washington
that towers aloft, dominating all
DeBiaes. spread on- tne rising
ground beyond it, the city broadly
reaches. The wounderful oapiton
and its majestic dome are in the
background. It is a scene well
worth seeing. The river, its shores,
its bridge, its islands, and all the
world beside ' looking on. Most
beautiful of all when nature is
throwing off the garb of winter to
don the robes of spring.
We took another trolley line
that led up Pennsylvania avenue
and past the finest public grouuds
and squares and their historic
monuments, we were soon iu the
city. It was dusk. Washington
square was literally thronged with
romping coildren and the menu
ment had a festoon of youngsters,
clad in all colors and all blending
together, grouped around its base.
Then came' Lafayette square with
the same conditions. It was a
ride to enjoy and then to dream f.
W e rushed past the white house,
the war department, the treasury,
then up the avenue of all avenues
and were soon home.
If the Philippine rebellion goeB
topieoes.as late news intimates,
those eminent philanthropists who
have been wasting their sympa
thies on Aguinnldo, et a!., will have
to get some other fad to take to
and talk of. It is worse than
shameful that educated men,
Americans, who ought to be patri
ots and loyal to their country,
should let their anarliog souls
defend the treachery of those Fili
pinos and forget that we are in
honor bound to defend the inter
ests of those we have conquered.
They should never be forgiyen.
The death roll is as much due to
them as to Filipino bullets:

DEAN BBUiiL WHITES.
Pendleton Soldier Boy in Manila Tells of the
Oregon Regiment's Fight.
In a letter to bia motber, Mrs. Sbull
of thia oity, Dean Shrill, one of tbe com
pany D boys who went to tbe Philippines
to fight tbe Filipinos, writes io thia in
teresting manner, says tbe East Ore-
gonian:
The boyg in company D are all well
and jubilant over tbe victories they have
achieved. We fully expected - Malolos
would be tbe laet stand tbe rebels would
mate, but tbey evidently have not been
whipped to a finish. Oa the 25th was
tbe hardest fight aa yet, nine killed and
66 wounded in the Orscon regiment.
Out of our company, one killed, eight
ouDded. Tbe bulleta flew like bail all
day lotig, It was auything but pleasant,
I 888 u re you, but one seta aoouatomed
to almost anything.
When Aguinaldo surrenders (for sur
render be must, and that right aooo) and
tbe transport heaves in eight tbat oarriea
us aorosa the old Pacific to far off Ore
gon, it will be tbe supreme moment of
our lives, but we do not propose to give
up tbe eblp until we eeonrely bold the
winninig cBrd, and I am Bare that time
is not far off.
We have been serving under General
Wbeaton, of tbe flying brigade, and I,
for one, can testify to bis fighting quali
ties, for be certainly is a fighter. We
have not had our shoes off for two weeks,
only to take our bath. General Wbeaton
issued an order today to the effect tbat
the Oregon regiment would not be
ordered out oo the firing line again , aa
we bad done our part of tbe fighting; but
we will serve da train guards, for a time,
at least. Dean bHULL.

The East Oregonian published tbe
following taken from tbe Manila Ameri
can, published at Manila, Marob 29tb:
"Bay, stranger, did you see the Ore-

ing, when so many of them went down

You did not? Well, then, you missed
something worth- a journey around the
world to see. You may read of it now
and iu years to oome, for history will re'
oord no more brilliant work, but aa long
aa you live yon will never fully know
what tbe love of country and borne will
inspire brave men to do. , Qo out oyer
tbe field and note tbe positions of tbe
Second Oregon regiment and tbe enemy's
entrenohments, especially the latter with
tbeir shot-defying strength; stand there
and imagioe you bear tbe bugle cull to
arms and see tbe blue shirts rise like
magic from behind tbeir entrenohments
and charge aorosa tbe open field in tbe
very leetb of Mauser lead. Note tbat
tba enemy ia completely under oover,
with every advantage on their side, aa
they fire volley after volley iuto tbe line
of charging blue shirts at short . range.
See men from the Webfoot state fall
under tbe murderoua bail aod still
others keep a oomlDg without thought of
turning back, brave men, true soldiers,
being shot down by tbe well protected
rebels, and still obarging right up into
their very strongholds. And see, as tbe
line of blue gets nearer, tbe enemy's
position beoomes too hot and tbey break
