Our voy. age han U-en very eventful since thai lime. Soon after leaving, the sealed orders Lrought by the mail steamer were opened and it wan lound that we were ordered to the Ladrone In lands about 12iK) miles this side of Manila. It apiwars that there is a Spanish coaling station and also a lenal settlement. There are also ten smai; wooden gunboats in thone wat ers which the Charleston, will take care of. It Is also said that the 2d batallion will be left there for garri son duty which I don't like so well. We, that's all the Washington county lioyn are well and our chief trouble is getting enough to eat. This sea air giv. un all good appetites. Iulien on hoard are usually nominal. Many of Him boyn sleep on deck but I have'nt deserted my bunk below yet. Keveille comes at 6:30 a in when we must be up and have our bunks fixed ready for Inspection at J a m. 1 lien comes roll call anil at 7 a m entree and biscuits. Breakfast in at 10 a m and in pretty fair grub. SupMT in at ft p m anil retreat sounds almut (1 30 or Huunft. Darkness falls very soon alter sunset and in an hour from the last sight of the sun all is dark as midnight. I have to go on guard atxiut once a week. I have two hours on and four hours off and can't leave the guard house or take tiff my licit without permission. We go on guard at 10 a m and stand guard for twenty four hours. The next morning after being relieved, police duty is the or der of the day, w have to clean up la low and do ail the liltle jolw to ward keeping the ship clem. There is a hath tub rigged up amidxhip and all have lo bathe twice week. It isn l any tianlslnp to do thin as the air and water are so warm. Hut thin is a sleepy life, in fact the w hole crew went to bed last Thursday nignt and didn't get up until Saturday morning. You see, we crossed the meridian of IsO" west longitude that tiny and so lost a day. Coming the tither way we shall have two days the same in one week. It isju.it a month now slice I was mu-tcred into I'ncle Sam'a service and I don't regret it so far. It i-' said we will heat (iuam, the chief of the Ijtdmiies by Sunday night or Monday morning. We could get there before then but our speed is the lowest, only about nine knots an hour. This Is a very unfrequented part of the tst an as we havent sighted a K it since having Honolulu. June it. -Well, we have met with our tir-t victory, morning the island along over the water and crashing in to the tn.i.sonery aoon chatted their mind. The transports were then signalled to iiiu inside and we cast anchor not half a uiile from the cliff but four wile from the landing place. The governor wan absent at the time but a message wan aent to him to surrender. As he waa rather low about it, companies A and D and details from other companies and the marines from the Charleston started on a Is sit expedition to bring him to his senses. The Charleston steam launch led Before they were half way to land a boat came off bearing a w hite Dig and the govern or' submission. Many of the officers went on shore in the ships boats and got fruit, but not many of the pri vates got that permiss'on. There were about sixty Spanish sol diersautl a hundred natives. The Spanfsll soldiers are now prisoners ou hoard the Sydney and an American residing there was appointed govern or. 1 here In no love between the natives and the Spaniards, so they all welcomed the coming of the "Am ericanos." The Pekin transferred some of their coal to the Charleston and yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock we recrossed the bar, bound for Man ila. We found none of the convic's or coal that win said to be there. The people there had not heard of the war as they only got mail about once in two months unless a stray trading vessel or whaler comes in port. The last news they had of the outside world was April tf. Guam was at onetime a port of considerable call to the whalers but now not many ships call there ex cept a line of trading ships to Japan. One of these vessels lay in harbor when we were there. We are now on the deep and lu- side of a week expect to be in Manila. Off Luzon, June 2tf. We are n ear ing our destination after Ave weeks of ocean travel. The appointed ren- lecvous wan sighted yesterday morn ing and in (he afternoon the long ex pectad dispatch boat came out. It was the Baltimore with the scars of battle still with her. She had been waiting for us nine days. We were behind time owing to the stop at Ouam and the slow speed mi! ti ed from Honolulu. We !."ive !.er three cheers and three mi re he.' re she left us to report our coming to iJewey. This morning is the roughest yet, but the boys are all well seasoned now and scorn seasickness. There han not been much sickness on board and but one death in the expedition. This was a member of company M. on board the Sydney. He wan suffer ing from appendicitis, was operated on but died just outside the harbor of and mother these paragraph-). Aboard Australia, June y, liK We had good weather all i f the way after we left Honolulu and did not see land until we reached the Ladrone Inlands. The Charleston went into the harbor and captured the island. They fired a shot at the fort that the Spaniards had there. It was occupied by three or four native soldiers. They thought that the Charleston wan friendly did sot know that war had-been declared, o they got ready to fire a salute. S hi n the Charleston commenced to give them some lead they got their eyes open and went scrambling out with out firing a shot. Then the trans ports steamed up into the harbor and lay there until next mom in,'. By that time they bad found "out that there were fifty Spanish soldiers with guns and ammunition. We t r dered the Spanish governor to come aboard the Charleston and make a surrender, but he said that he would not do it, because it was against the Spanish law for him to put his foot on American soil or a I . n. snip. He told un to come ashore to make the arrangements. S i we got ti iwn the boats and with two or three hundred men started ashore to see what we could do with them. About the time we got half way there the governor came out aud met us with a big white flag and made a surren der. They put him on hoard the Charleston and the soldiers on tlx Pekin. When the Charleston went into the harbor, the town did not know it an it Tk as behind a ridge and when they heard (be guns they did uot know hut what the world was com ing to an end. The town that was made up of natives, could see the whole thing and were nearly scared to death, thitu at night the Charles ton turned her searchlight un theiu and again scattered their wits around over the country. After we left there we did not sec anything to make an excitement un til yesterday when we saw the smoke of a steamer toward our right. The Charleston struck out after her and the transports lined up aud followed.

It in nut so much that we are doing more in one industry than we have ever done. That is to be ex pected every year when democrat. I i not prosirrle American industries Bat Ihe increase of product iou over any previous year is surprising, for we have not merely produced more iron than in auy other year, moie but more by over half a mll llou tons or lu per cent. Nor is this accidental. It Is not the sort of thing which may appear oue year and not again, lor 1 lie American output of iron is not only larger lhau that of ny oilier country, but It is certain to remsiii larger. Comparison with Great Britain is out of date, for this country passed the mother country years ago in the manufacture of Iron, and no other natiou has ever appnmched either. Io dManciug itself, America dliiiut the world There is nothing to lie said of an output amounting to near ly one milliou tons per month, ex tvpting that no other country has come any where near it, and theie is milling to lie said of the consumpt ion in manufacture except that uo oilier country has approached it " Hundred thousand tons per month. The Uuited Stales not only leads the world In this manufac- iuir, iiui snows useu superior over other couutries in securing the most valuable contracts that Hussla and Jaan have placed for armor plates and rails and other manufactures. he ifuasrans want rails In order to cross Siberia; the Japanese want rails in order to economize the move ment of products in their wonderful ly productive country. Both want American products for self-defense. But the American works which help them to self defense, as their contract show, better than the work of any other country are able to surpass that work in filling contracts f ir the Unit ed Stales. We shall not find better ar mor plates anywhere else than in the United States, coming from Ameri can woras, uor snail we nnd anv where else cheaper material for ships r railroads. It is easy to say, as many men do, that the superiorly of the Uuited Males in this particular matter Is a natural result of its advantages in supply of the raw materials. The reasoning is somewhat logical. But what is to be said of the expansion in cotton manufacture, this country having a practical monopoly of the world's markets in cotton? What is to be said of the woolen manufacture this country having enough wool to provide for its own consumption and ar more thtn any other country pro luces, being not obliged to rely upon ;he altogether uncertain yield of Australia? What cau Great Britain expect, relying upon the product of South America or South Africa for its woolen industry? Or what is to be said of the copper manufacture in other countries the Uuited States supplying the world with over two- thirds of its material? What Is to be said of ihe lead manufacture, the United States having for many years produced more than it requires for iM own consumption? The truth Is that must Americana 1 1 not yet understand the magulQ- it resources of their own couutry. '.e United States has shown that it . an beat the world In food products. -i-uding more than four hundred mil ' i"iu bushels of wheat and com abroad j ' t iring the last year. It has yet lo - ow that it can capture the world's . if nrkets for metals, iron, copper,faod I -ad. w lute bearded, leonine genilen.an, of fine dignity, who wears monocle, is ever dressed immaculately in white and gold, and has been Uis.nl. d with four bravery mtslals.

Fin ally came the great rush to the crest of the hill against a position which ought to have beeu capable of sweep ing them all back Into the sea, and he saw them at last occupying that position, completely victorious. He lowered his spyglass and clooed it anappily, and turning said with im mense solemnity : "By God, gentle men, this has been a great day for Anglo-Saxons.
