Th following, and probably th last letter written by Clatsop's only son who wa In the fight at Manila, which result ed In th surrtnder of that city, and who died from his wounds, will be read with Interest. Hi father, Andrew Young, and hi uncle, Benjamin Young, r well known cltlten of this community: CAVITE. Manila Bay. July S, IS. Editor Aatortan; Knowing that you would be Interested In hearing about the boy of th Oregon volunteers, now here at Manila, I will spend a few minute in the very pleasant tak of writing a short description of army life and It attend ant comfort and discomfort. A for the first, they are "nit." for the latter, they are not so bad that they could not be worse. We get enough to eat of hard tack, ba con, horse tnet and burnt coffee, and we get enough work to keep us busy moot of the time. While not drilling. mot of tb fellow ar writing letters home, or elsewhere, as every on expects to leave to take the town of Manila at any time. Another reason o much writing is being done I because no one Is allowed to leave our regimental camp for feur of spreading the measles throughout the rest of the camps. j Fifteen cases of meajles were reported yesterday among the Orvgonlana and as consequence, our corner of th encamp ment Is under quarantine, no one being allowed to cross the lines, either coming or going. The climate here does not compare with the climate of Oregon. From o'clock a. m. to 4 p. m. It Is about tt In the shade and after nht it begin to rain and thunder, which does not compare :th Oregon rain and thunder. The sun is so hot here that between ten and flfueh boys faint every day. and the hospital is full of boys ll the time. Dewey ha done a slick piece of work here, sinking eleven of the Spanish Ves sels, The Rena Chrl:anl is the name or the Spanish (tag ship, which is one of the hips that bad only one shot put through her, but that struck her In th stern and went clean through her. She wa the largest ship of the fleet. I was on board of her the other day and saw between five and seven dead Span iards laying around on the deck and one had his feet sticking out of one of her port holeSj ... te;ey Captured two large coaling ves sels and one large ship loaded with live cattle, bound fr Manila, but Dejrsy didn't do a thing bu; swing on to it. so we are getting fresh meat at the present time. There are all kinds of animals here, es pecially the monkeys, ahich are plenlttul and there are also snakes of all kinds. The Insurgents and Spaniards are light ing here all the time. One company of insuntents came to Cavtte the other day and they wer all covered with blood from head to foot, and they said that ihey had the hsrJet HkM yet. and the Spaniards lost 1") men and the lnsuren:s Vi men. Th insurgents have been capturing the the Spaniards every day between 25 and Pj). so we have between l.iM) and .0uj Spaniards in prison here at Cavite. There are now some S.W troops In the bay. but they are not all here In Cavite. The Callfornlan. OregonUns and United States regulars are ail that are here. The others are scattered at various placet around the city of Manila. They have the prisoners at work here between 10 o'clock a. m. and 3 o'clock p. m.. when it is so hot that we can't stand the heat, so they are a great help to us, but nevertheless we have all that we can do. We drill live hours a Jay, betaeen the hours of j o'clock In the morning tu T:. and In Ihi afternoon from a o'clock to ":90. We are staying 'n a larf-'e t i-e building which was built In IT'.C, and there is not a stink of wood found on the bulling. The floor Is composed simply of square stones, and the sides also, but the roof is composed of Iron and tile. We have no beds of any kind, but Just pitch our blankets on the stone floor at 9 o'clock and stay their till i o'clock in the mornln;. There are some of the prettiest sea shells formed aJong the sea shore that the world has ever known. The city of Manila, 1 cannot say much about. We can see the city plain from here and one of the large! cities in the world, whi'h will be shattered to pieces In a few days. The second expedition arrlvd the lTtn of July with a larce number of troop and they were not fo dirty looking as we were. We lost ore man and they lost six men.

He had In his bat, beside many line specimens of salt water fish, a -pound black shark, which attracted much attention. Hp'iiking of hi trip, Kisk said: "We went out over the bar yesterday morning to fish for rock cod. We had only our rejular Columbia river liBhlng boat. While near the light ship today, i hooked this fellow on a small wire line and a small hook, which you see is still In his Jaw. He made a hard fight, lashing the water to a foam all about the boat. Several times we were In danger of being capsized. Finally we managed to get him alongside and then the tug-of-war commenced.
