The reason wo are farther ftotith is that wo aro going to tho La drone ixlunds w hich are alKiut one hund red miles farther aouth, and alsml fif teen hundred miles thia aide of Manila. Th weather is not ao very warm him of us are wearing our regular anils yet, with light-weight underwear. Alioiit such weather as no would have ill Ore gon this month.

Flying Ash at llrst were quite a curios ity, but are so plentiful now that we lianllv take anv notice of them.

Wo had quite a heavy shower thia morning I have been told that in thia tropical climate, shower are a very frequent thing, and my own experience prove that it ia a fact, quite a shower will eorr.e up and bo all over In ten miuutca. Thia kind of a climate or trip tnakea one very lazy. We cuailr drift into the hahit of getthig sonic one to do vour work for you. The head ollieera of'the ship have waiters to take care of their rooms, black their shoes, brash their clothes, briug their breaLlast or rather a lunch to them aa oon they wake up. Our breakfast h ur ia at half past eight, and to one gct ting up at 0 o'clock or liefore, one gets very lank as the saying is. So all of ua Olhceia have gotten into the habit of Ink ing a cup of coffee and bread and butler as soon aa we get hp. We export to arrive nt Guam Island on .iioiiuay morning una everything la ill doubt ua to the outcome df it, but are trusting lu tho skill and judgment of the ollieera of the Charleston. At present one ol Iiewev'a tlwt is in the distance. Sundiiv, June l'nh. There waa a re- ligious meeting held in the bow ol the lat by members of Co. 1. l'errv and Slellmaeher for tho Albany contingency and Smithand I'oindexter for the Oregon City Ikijs. We are told that wo will be at Iho inland Monday morning, ami on Monday morning at 6 o'clock we were in plain view ol the (iiiam Islands, and the tnai9hipB were kept out from shore while the Charleston was well in b.warl shore, looking for something lo devour, and at the muin hurlxir went in ami gel ling sight of an old fort fired thirteen shot, and hit tho fort twelve limes. They soon noticed a small boat coming out to meet ihem from short, line of the men, being an ollicer, apoligiu.il for not answering the salute, said they wero short of iwder at the fort, which waa unoccupied. About 3 o'clock in the af ternoon tho City ot i'eking and Austral', went into tho harbor, we on tho City of Sydii 'V had Ui lay oulrido all night. In tlio morning the man who had been iieruted on lor appendn-hi, died, at 6 o chick. At ten the captain ol the ship, and Major Kaatwick went in a small boat to get orders from tho other ships. They were caught in one ol the worst storm wo had yet experienced. Tho boat weathered the storm all right, at 4 o'clock they returned with our chaplain vtiiovifc. o anew ui once we wero to have a buiiul at sea. The man was ' buried w ith his uniform on, and a canvas hag sewed around him, and then lashed to a loard with heavy iron fastened to the lioard. lhecomimiics were nil lined iip.und altera short discourse and prayer he w as dropped over the side of the boat, wo nail wuncsMtii a burial at sea. After, tho burial had taken place wo went into the hurlior. it was after mix liefon, ivn mil 1 anchored. 1'i'ring the day two compan ies oi uregon oiunieern and one-liun lred marine ol the Charleston went ashore 'and cutitnred nil tin, SnaniMl, i rooi on me island, teliave now on! lioard our snip, tiie City of Sydnev, the ' (iovernor lienenil of the inland, five ol lieera and fifty-four privates. We hold them as prisoners and keep a guard over them night and dav. So you fee that tho 21st ol June, !.is, was tho llrst day that it began to look like war. Tho is land looks very much liko tho Iiuwaian island. One can aoo tho cocoanut and bununas, on board the ship. The native are very friendly and very religions. Tho enlisted men, fifty-four in number, arc small and young mcn.und aro getting, or siiptioscd toget, three dol lars er month. The ollicer consist of governor and hi secretary, one doctor and three company ollieera. Tho doctor can talk a littlo Knglish, ho said they all expected to be shot w hen llioy were taken prisoner, which would probably be tho case if they had takci: us prisoners. IiiBtead of being shot, the ollieera eat with us, and have the frcdom (since we left the port) ot the social hall and the isjar part of tho boat. The enlisted men (prisoners) aro kept below except at meal ) tiino, and once a day are brought up on deck lor an airing; hut always under Ijuiird, and It would not bo well lor them to make a crooked move, tor every ollicer and enlisted man, go armed for Span iards. -1 was ollicer of the guard Wed nesday, in, fact I go on guard once a week, when my tlmo conic.

The Spanish doctor aaya that flfteeu years iuo the mail came to the island once in three years; live year ago it came tw ice a ye.r, but now they get mail every two months. June 24. This makes another nice day to our credit, and unless we have a storm within the next tive daya we will have what ia known as a smooth (rip. We expect to arrive at Manila on or before July 1st.

A great man) oi our boye and ol lieera were sea-sick again. It was some thing tririhle the wuy the ship rolled and pitched. In the night it did not seem as though the boat would live through the night. At one o'clock, Thursday, 30th, we entered Manila hay, and about 5 o'clock came to an anchor under the pro tection of Iewcy' fleet, which now num ber all told twelve very fair ship.
