FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, IS98.
From the Hoys in tlie Philippine!.
Mrs. Geo. P. Crowell lias received
lengtliy letters from her son, telling of
the capture of Manila, from which the
following extracts are taken:
Manila, Aug. 16, 189S. You have
doubtless heard before this of Manila's
surrender. The Stars and Stripes now
float over the Philippines. We have
taken possession in ureat shape. The
insurgents wauled to enter the city
after our uoi-px and the fleet had taken
it, and kill all the Spanish soldiers and
' loot the town, l.ut our troops do not let
them come in at all. 1 hey are allowed
to (jo and come at will when not armed.
Aug. 13th we of the first and .second
Imitations, Oregon volunteers, turned
out of our hunks at 3:30 in the morning
and made ready for battle. We took
2M) rounds of ammunition and two
days' rations with us, and at 7 o'clock
went aboard the Kwongtoi, a side
wheel steamer, and steamed out into
the bay with our warships, and about
9 o'clock we headed for Manila. We
were lo land right in Manila from the
front, so you see we expected a hard
fight unless the city should surrender
before we landed. Our warships lined
up in front of the south end of Manila
and opened fire on their intrenchments
at Malata. I saw every shot tired and
it was exciting. I think the bombard
ment lasted about an hour. The Amer
ican troops in the trenches attacked at
the same time and fought them tooth
and nail, driving them back towards
. the city. The Spanish soon run up a
white flag, the tiring from the ships
ceased, and we steamed up past the
city and stoi ped off the mouth of the
Pasig river, and at about 4 p.m. the
governor-general surrendered. ' We
landed at 5 p. rn. on the jetty at the
mouth of the Pasig, and found a Span
ish gunboat on lire in the stream.
They had set fire to it and scuttled it
ho it would sink and not fall into our
hands, but our sailors went to work
putting out the tire, and 1 guess she
will not lie a total wreck. We were
matvhed to the governor-general's pal
ace, where we found thousands of arms
' and equipments piled up like cord
wood, The Spanish soldiers do not
seem to care much and tell us that the
Americans are good. I don't let them
fool me; I have heard too much of their
history, We slept that first night in
the governor-general's palace It is a
grand palace, all marble and fine ma
terial, but our company were stuck
hack in the rear hallways' and had to
sleep on the floor. We didn't mind
that, however. The next day we were
moved to our present quarters, which
are the best we ever had. Only three
Americans were killed in the capture
of the city. We were the first to enter
Manila. I was o guard yesterday and
last night in an old earthquake ruin,
used as a government wood yard, and
while talking to a native I found out
where the Spanish had stored away a
gooil many thousand dollars' worth ol
stores 25.000 beds, lots of blankets,
uniforms, hats, rice, and alT kinds of
supplies. I reported the matter to
headquarters and took the native along
and had him show me the place, lien.
Merritt sent a squad of men there to
take the stores and keep guard over
them. I am getting so I can carry on
quite a conversation in Spanish. That's
how I came to find out the Spanish
stores. -
Aug. 18th. We are now comfortably
settled in our new quarters at the Plaza
rie Artileria, in old Manila. 1 bought
n small shell purse from a Spanish sol
dier, yesterday, that he said he brought
from the Suez canal. It has engraving
und hand painting on it and will make
a. very pretty little souvenir. I send it,
along With a few other things, to you.
We are in full possession of Manila and
have captured hundreds of tons of all
kinds of ammunition and caunon and
small arms. I never saw so many
handsome women as there are here
We have had lots of hard work since
(Miming to Manila, hut now we will
have it easier, I think. There are no
large horses here that I have seen, but
those here are the prettiest little horses
you ever saw. All the carriages have
low wheels and are built to match the
horses, and they have a great, many
tine carriages. These small horses
seem to be very strong and always go
on the trot. The native police and the
servants at the palace are covered with
while braided cord and tassels of silver
and walk around as straight as a cob.
t have not had time to get acquainted
with any of the ladies yet. but by the
way they, smile at us boys they don't
seem to be very mad at us'for whipping
their men folks. This is a very old
town and a large one. There are ruins
and old walls everywhere that have
bushes and even large trees growing
out of them. A fellow needs a small
haversack to carry his small change in
down here. This is one of your free
silver countries, I guess.. It takes a
. whole scoop full of the copper money
to buy anything, and then you have
only paid the small price which is
about half as much as at home.
Aug. 21st. I am still in the best of
health, and we are having it a little
easier at present. We took posseasion
of the Spanish treasury building the
other day. I was on guard t2ere at
the time the money was counted and
, turned over to Major Whipple, who
has been appointed treasurer. The of
ficial Gazette, which, has just been
started at our headquarters, says that
the Oregon regiment will be stationed
Jiere at headquarters inside the walled
city. You see we are honored every
where we go. We were the first to
land at Honolulu, and would have
been first at the Ladrones if the in
fantry had landed, and in fact they
had two companies of our regiment
nearly to shore when the place sur
rendered. We were the first to land in
the Philippines and first to enter Ma
nila, and now are picked out as the
regiment to be stationed at headquar
ters. We have never had to lire a shot
in battle yet, and have only had one
experience of much danger, and that
was when we entered Manila. We
were in transport steamer with Dewey's
fleet during the bombardment and in
lull range of the Spanish batUries. Ifj
they had dared to fire they might have!
nink the whole crowd of us. We en-i
lercd the city as gay as ever and went 1
marching along in front of the Span
ish fort, whistling "Yankee Doodle"
and "Marching Through Georgia." So
you see we are not much afraid of the
Spanish. The Spanish papers printed
here commented on the fact and seem
ed to think t hat we did not fear them
much. 1 will mail you a Manila paper
containing Gen. Merritt's first proc
lamation lo the people of the Philip
pines. We get all kinds of stories here
about peace and armistice and other
questions, but can place no dependence
in any of them. They seem to try to
keep us in ignorance of the affairs with
Spain. It is on account of the Spanish
here, I guess. Our quarters are clean,
high, light and airy. I am wearing a
pair of Spanish shoes that I found ill
our new quarters. They just fit me,
and I am making good use of them.
We can get. our mtderclnth.es washed
for 2 cents and socks for 1 cent in our
money. You can ride in a hack fop 30
cents "for the first hour and 12 cents
for every hour over. We captured
about thirty Spanish ships in the Pasig
river; most of them are coasting vessels
of small tonnage. -This city, especially
the new part, looks just about like the
pictures of the Chicago world's fair
when you see it from the. hay. Nearly
all the buildings are white, with gal
vanized iron roofs, which also look
white from a little distance. Sergeant
Mercer, our first duty sergeant, carried
the American flag into Manila. He is
one of my best- friends and one of the
tiest soldiers in the regiment. 1 was
picked as one of the guards for the
treasury building the day we took it.

Snakes.
It should be borne In mind that, although
"the war's all over and all is free from harm, H
the terrors and dangers of snakes seem yet far
from banishment. Of course snakes bave
their place in "Nature's economy" and must
be respected. The sacred history proclaims
all things good that God made, nod very soon
introduces a snake story. Snakes are very
useful iu giving us exhileratlng surprises as
well as materially cutting down the census
lists and preventing overproduction. I can
not for the life of me see how we could dis
pense with snakes any better than we could
do without centipedes, tarantulas, bed bugs,
tleas, uiusquitoes and a horde of other good
things. Texas is blessed with a good many
snakes, perhaps not loo many nor too few to
preserve a healthy equilibrium, and it is but
natural that there should be many and varied
experiences with them. Some grow to be as
large around as a stovepipe or child's body,
and In extrrme cases have measured 10 to 12
feet long. The stuffed skin of a diamond rat
tler 7 feet long, 4 inches diameter, caught near
this place lost. May, ornaments the front show
window of a dry goods merchant. Two rat
tlers killed recently in another county, one
had 48 rattles, the other more, but the rattles
being damaged by the shot exact count could
not be made. Chicken snakes are most nu
merous and troublesome. One woman told
me the other day that she had done no good
this year raising chit kens on account of their
depredations. Racers, as is their character
istic elsewhere, I think, seem to be in a great
hurry and don't care to be interviewed, and
flash by without a friendly nod of recogni
tion, or otherwise. 'Tis not so with the dry
land moccasin. He stops, and apparently
wants to have a chat, but the interview is
generally distasteful to him. The king snake
has a good reputation and sells his life dearly
lu combat with the rattler, if defeated. The
joint snakes are put toget her in sections so
they can unbuckle at - ill if omererency or
fancy prompts them to make an exhibition of
their peculiar structure, ana, as they nave
been, may probably be abundant yet in places,
t'he hoop snake I bave never met, and I am
not sure that I have lost any hoop snakes. II
one comes rolling by it is best, I am told, not
to attempt to stop him for an Interview, as It
might make him mad, unloose his tali and
strike, and if he should miss me and strike a
tree the tree would wilt immediately, I am
told, and it would be a pity to lose a noble
tree of the forest, thus cut down, perhaps, in
the prima of life, without chivalrous warning.
The unicycle originated by the hoop snake,
who has sole control of patent, with all rights
reserved,' is the only untrammeled system of
locomotion conceivable. The bicycle is but a
stepping stone in this direclion to suit man's
inability at present to cope with the problem.
After men and women nave long bent over
bicycles in strained efforts of body and soul
there will be a sudden development, and th
world will stand amazed beyond all former
amazements to see the genus, equipped in
tights, with feet in mouth, speeding over the
ground a la hoop snake and. relegating to
shadows all former conceptions of locomotion.
'Don't you never doubt it." When that time
comes there will be no more need to say, 'fit'
wishes made torses then beggars would ride."
The beggar and the tramp w ill be "in It," and,
rolling side by side with the millionaire, the
speed attained will only be limited by the
ambition and energy of the individual and
his or her capacity to duplicate the hoop
snake or the rubber hose. There Is an out
look iu this of pernaps far greater Importance
than the regeneration of the Philippines. It
will be the great agency In leveling the hu
man race. In the time of the great human
level street cars and ordinary carriages will
no longer be needed, for human hoops of all
sizes, grades and colors will be the predom
inating feature of locomotion in busy thor
oughfares. The skill in grasping tne feet with
the mouth for a start, and the dexterity
shown in bounding; from the hooped condi
tion to the upright, natural one, when a stop
is desired, will be paralyzing until we get
used to it.
I have always doubted the strict accuracy of
me wen-worn saying mat "it never rains but
it pours," but a number of interesting snake
episodes In this vicinity cause me to hug the
old adage with special sympathy as I narrate
some, all but one of recent occurrence, every
one seeming to evince a desire of the snake to
be sociable, or to get up in the world and par
take of the blessings of civilization.
A woman south of town found a snake in
the wood box. A short distance from her a
sack of selected corn iu the ear was left In the
crib a few hours, tiien carried to the house to
be shelled. In the bottom of the sack was
found a copperhead, which they call a "rattle
snake pilot" here. Two 'weeks ago a small
snake crawled up and lay down to dream in
one of the lock boxes at the post office. A lit
tle later a groceryman put his hand in the
cracker box and encountered a three-foot
chicken snake. Ho was so frightened that he
ueciares ne never win put. nis nana in a oox
again without first looking. Over in the east
part of town a lady opened tho wardrobe and
;here lay a snake apparently prepared to dis
pute possession. In the south part of town, a
lew weeks ago, a man entered his room to re
tire, when he discovered a snake under the
chair he was about to sit down on. Interest
ing cases of chicken snakes about the barns
and cribs are numerous and varied. One case
at my nearest neighbor's lias such unique
features about it that It Is well worth recital.
A hen sat brooding her chicks on the ground
against the planking of an out shed. A .make
attacked the brood and swallowed one, the
others climbing through a crack between two
planks and huddled down close to the plank
ing on the oilier side. After the Hrst-swaJ-
lowed chick had been passed down the bodv
sufficiently the snake reached through the
narrow crack and swallowed another. The
noise among the chicks at tlfis time brought
the farmer out and showed -that the snake
had unwittlnelv traimed himself bv swallow
ing one chick on each side of the fence, and
with the two lumps in his body, one on each
side of the narrow crack, he could neither
back out nor go forward, so he furnished an
easy prey, as well as establishing the fact that
snaaes sometimes niniie misiaues. A copper
head entered another house, supposedly riu-1
ring the night, and went to sleep under the !
cook stove, and was not observed until the I
family were called for breakfast, and then
came the fight. It. would stem that snakes !
sometimes go it blindly, or else are prompted
by curiosity or a spirit of Investigation, else r
what would be the nseof a snake going into a 1
sack of salt, as one large chicken snake did at
the latter named place, and surrendered his
ghost in consequence? As wo have summer
about ten months in the year in the sunny
South, the lengthened sweetness of sweltering '
weather long drawn ont gives unlimited scope
to snake life and varied surprise galore. In
fact there is not n day butvhat the rattlor
conies out of his den somewhere in Texas to
view the scenery and take advantage of the
unwary. a. T. H. ,
