Frank Woodruff's Views Regard ing the Old Spanish City. The following letter Hfl(lrcsre1 to Heriry Macula will be of Interest to tho public: Manila, Dec. 21, 1898. Mk. IIknry Lincoln. Dear Friend: Well I will try and write a few lines as the mail will leave most any day. I re ceived the Christmas box you sent me it arrived the 16th and you can bet I received it with open arms, everything was in good shape ex cept the apples and prunes. About half the prunes had moulded and the large apples wtra spoiled, but the yellow ones came through per fect and the medium sized red ones were nearly as good. There has only been .1 few boxes come so far only three or four so far for Co C; but the St Paul which is due any day will fetch the last of the boxes and one of the largest mails com j ing to Manila. This is a very in teresting place, all stone houses with fiat roofs; they are covered with a kind of crockery roofing. There are a great many large churches also a great many old ruins in the city. Whon an earth quake tumbled a building down it was left as the Spaniards seemed to think it was better to build in a new place than clear away the ruins. Manila has a population of 350,000 Spaniards, Philapeanos and Chin ese men are the principle inhabi tants and it is comprised of two places, Old and New Manila; a river separates the two places. Old Ma nila is surrounded by a large stone wall thirty or forty feet thick in most places. We are quartered iu Old Manila, and have good quarters. One company of the Oregons are at the palace and another at the custom house. The rest of the regiment is iu the barracks that were formerly occupied by the Spanish army. We do duty inside the city. The Philapeanos are steal ing powder all the time and the guards have been doubled. We were ordered to fill our belts with cartridges and have our guns ready as there was an insurgent . scare, but nothing came of it. We heard today that the insurgents had ordered the Americans to evacuate a block house and the First Cali fornia were sent out and the insur gents consented to withdraw, but we may have trouble yet. Charley Lovelace is about to be appointed corporal and I think he will get it al right. We have dress parade three times a week and we put up as good a one as any regi ment here. The Oregon baseball team is holding its own. We re. emits expect to get paid in a few days. This is a free silver country; a half bushel of money here is only worth a couple of American dollars. You have heard the pops say that cheap money makes prosperity, but it looks to me as if the cheaper money is the more y-prt; have to work to get a little, pf ..it. The natives are all glad to work for a few dollars . Mexican money a month, and there are plenty of beggars here to. Well I think when I get back I will still "be a republican. The timber is fine though not very large. The boys have all got fine canes of the different timber. I will scud you one when I can get a good one. There are lots of saloons her.e . and , they do a big business; nearly all the stores sell whiskey, and. there are hundreds of natives selling cigars or ice cream on the streets. Fruit is cheap and so is tobacco and wine, but beer is high. We are only allowed out in the evening between 6 and half past nine, if we go out in the day we have to get a pass and it is only good for a couple of hours. We are getting too lazy to live from lying around so much. We take a walk around town in the evening but it gets old as there is nothing new going on, the same old thing all the time. We have a pair of box ing gloves which we keep pretty busy most of the time. If has rained a little, but most of the time it has been pretty warm. The Spanish soldiers seem to be all right but I don't like the priests and I guess nobody else does. Well, I hear that six regiments of regulars are on their way to relieve the Volunteeis so I would not be sur prised to get back by the Fourth of July, well I have written all I can think of so I will close. Thanking you for the Christmas box, with best regards to your folks. Your Friend Frank Woodruff, Co C, 2d Oregon Volunteers. SCHOOL DOINGS. Monthly Report From the Several Rooms.
