Letters are not of so much importance as papers and magazines, as we have a large number of men who do not correspond with anyone at all. The magazines take. third place in in- terst here. next to letters. The cheap literature of to-day is not of much con- sequence to us. You can .take all of the American magazines, or nearly so, ' and the stories in them take from six 3 to ten issues to complete them, and are necessarily of no value to a man. who cannot follow them up from i month to mouth. it nearly sets one: wild to pick up one magazines after i another. and tiud that as a rule all of ' the stories are eontinued. This mayi seem strange to smile Of you. but ifi you can imagine yourself in a foreign ‘ nneivilized country. with nothing to do but eat, sleep and (weasionally a little tight : nothing to amuse you but card playing and reading. you may understand better. the predicament we are all in here. Of course the word termaster did not think enough of us to send the ration boat around. But holidays are not. very largely eelehrat- ed by soldiers in the field anyway, and as the boat got here safe and sound yesterday. we have no kick coming. Captain Martin. the present Q. M. of the island, wouldn’t give his mother a pleasant look. if he thought it would do her a favor. He is just as disohlig- ing as he can he. and it seems to tickle him if he ran keep the soldiers waiting for rations. “'8 had our first piece of really good beef, since. coming to the island, yes- terday. It was some of the noted frozen beef of Australia, and the Q. N. Sergeant. on board the ration boat said we were supposed to get it once a Week. However, supposed to get, and getting it, are am far apart that we have nu faith whatever in the Sgts. words, and will nut place any confid- ence. in them. till we see a couple of shipments of beef cmne to Dalaguett.

The hot, or dry season, is slowly but surely coming upon us. The rain has stopped, and the sun has started his work of baking the solid earth into a mass that might be compared to iron.

Before five years, it is stated, Cebu will be next to Luzon. in commercial import- ance. Cebu, for its size, produces more hemp than any other island, and even here in this pueblo. it keeps four or flae large sailing vessels on the go, to carry the products to the city. Though small, Dalaguiete it is second to Cebu, for real business. There are more Chinamen doing business here than in any other place outside of (,‘ehu city, and a person can buy much more than in many of the larger towns. Since peace has been declared everything has picked up and is doing well, all ports have been opened, except ()slobe, (on account of the. cable) and an extensive shipping trade established, between the island and the outer world. I may have told you in some of my precious letters of the change that has taken place in the military part of the governing of the island, but I think a second telling will not come amiss. The islands have been divided into two departments, instead of the several that were established beft'Jre, namely Northern and Southern. The South- ern Depamment consists, mainly of the Visay or those islands, on which Visayan is mostly spoken, and the Northern of the Tagalog. The North- ern is commanded by Gen. Bell, with lu-aulquarters at Manila, and the South- ern by (it-n. \Vade, with headquarters at ('ebu, instead of lluilo. as before. Gen.

He has a Presidente, or Mayor, as we would call him, in each town, and he, in turn, a Leniente, (Lieutenant) of Poliece in each and every berrio (village) in his district. All these native officials, are in turn, under the orders of their superiors, while Mr. Taft, an American. governs all. \Vhen Judge Taft, arrived in the islands at the head of the Civil Com- mission. he. made a tour of the Archi- pelago, trying to establish Civil Gov- ernment. All islands which were pacifiedghad governors and Presidentes appointed for a period of four years, Cebu beingbne of the last to surrender. These officials will not be appointed next time. but will have to go before the people for election, the same as officials in the United States. The priests have in one way lost their form- er power, but the man to be elected for the next term, will have to be on good standing with them, as they hold these people so strong, through their religion that the majority will vote for the man they tell them to.

The insurgent, when he realized what he had done, and knowing that no mercy or quarter Would be shown to him, took his gun and belt and started for the mountains -\s the people round Nuga are, and al- ways have been friendly towards the .\1m-rieaus. he could not escape in broad day light, so he took Chances and hid in a sugar eane field. The Scouts and .-\111eriean soldiers, forming up im' 111ediately, gave chase, but were un- l successful. Later, the soldiers went out alone, and after scouting around , for a while, finally located their man. . Almost immediately he opened up on ' the advance guard. and then escaped from the field and took shelter m an , old sugar mill. The soldiers couldn’t dislodge him any way, so they set fire ito the building, which being built of :bamboo, and roofed with nipa, burnt easily.

He went all round the island, our own Mounted Infantry esrorting him from Argao to Damanjue. about one hundred and fifty miles. The t eat-her assigned to this place, got here a couple of weeks ago. He comes from New Jersey, and therefore brought a mosquito netting along with him. He is an excellent fellow, so far as I know, and seems to be well satisfied with his situation. The U. S. Government sends these people over here, nOt to learn, but to teach the language to these people. It is intended to make English the prevailing language here, in as short a time as possible. and therefore every town, where soldiers are stationed, has a teacher assigned to it. It must take some nerve to come our here to teach a people, when you know nothing of theirs or they of your tongue. The job pays from $75 to $12.5 per month and a bonus for every pupil you can get at night school. At the present time, I have just four months and sixteen days to do, and don’t know what to think of it. The time seems just the same as when [ had two years, in fact it concerns me more, for I think the time will never roll around. [ have heard, on good authority that all persons enlisting east of the Mississippi River, are to go home by way of the Suez Canal, and be discharged in New York. This would knock me out of over one hun- dred dollars, and as I am going that way any way, that is, after I see China Australia and a few more countries, I would sooner be discharged here. The government is trying to get us to re-enlist and are offering us four cents per mile between here and our place of enlistment. That would give me about $432, and I don’t know whether to take it or not. Soldiers seem to be very scarce and they can’t get them as fast as they would like. I don’t believe I ever told you of “H.” ()0. being a mounted infantry. We have about forty horses, twenty at Argao, and twenty at Oslob. That saves us a lot of marching, and as I am in Dalaguete, about half way, I am having a pretty easy time of it. Around Cebu city the soldiering is pretty strict, there being all kinds of drill and fancy guard mounts, etc. This will be worse than ever, now that Department Headquarters is situated there. It would not be so bad or hard to get along if a person had anything to keep his clothes in, but as it is not altogether settled down, and Cebu is so dusty it is very hard to keep your "MA fl’f’G CO.

Of course we have inspections here, but not quite so strict as if a commissioned oflicer was in command. Phineas Foutz, a former Corporal of Phineas Foutz, a former Corporal of' Co. “K.” 19th Infantry. who stabbed a young native girl to death, abouta year and a half ago, at a town called Liloan, and who was sentenced to be hanged, paid the penalty yesterday morning, in Fort San Pedro, Cebu. The report states thaq’he struggled for two minutes after the drop was let go. and in half an hour was pronounced dead by the medical authorities who witnessed the hanging. While in the Hospital, I made the acquaintance of Foutz, and he told me all about the girl he had at Lileen. Nearly everyl spare cent he could save, would be ex- pended for something for her. After I had been out for a while I heard of the tradegy, and since Foutz was con-f fined in the fort, 1 have often visited him. He did not seem at all down: hearted and was even in good spirits. His time he spent playing cards and 1 reading, and as the time drew near it t is. stated that he jokingly remarked that the time for his “ neck-tie” party would soon be here. He even examin- ed his seati’old and connnented on it. The hanging was private all person being barred to Witness it except the authorities. No official reports of it have been received yet, but from time to time we hear something new con“ cerning the affair. Foutz was born near Zanesville, in the State of Ohio, and was about twenty-two years of age. He is well thought of by his Company Commander as well as every man in the Company. His little fifteen year old sister had an interview with President McKinley, and tried to have him pardoned, but the President would not act, and if all reports are true, re- fused to see. her a second time. She also interviewed President Roosevelt. but he would do no more for her than than McKinley. A t the trial, Dr. Reilly, our Army Surgeon, tried to 1i prove to the court that Foutz was in- . sane, but it did no good, and his evid- { enee was thrown in the. waste basket. It. seems strange that one man should be hanged for this one. otl'ense, while Lugn. a former insurgent general. who has murders galore attached to him, should be let go. Luga is about to be made a Captain of Police in Cebu. Besides, Luga is not the only case where at known Filipino murderer has been given a good poistion in the Phil- ippines. Private Myers, of “ H.” Company, who was stationed at Sibouga, while diving from a native boat, struck his head on a submerged rock, and was brought to shore insensible. For a time it was thought he was only stun- ned, but as the hours passed by and he did not recover, the doctor from Argao went down to hold an examination. The doctor found Myers in a very pre- carious condition and had the launch Philidelphia stop and take him to Cebu. He died the next day, and at the post mortem it was found that one of the vertabrae had been broken. Myers was buried at Cebu, with military honors, a large crowd attending. Prt. Colman, of this Company, is in 1 a pretty bad fix just now. It seems that he and Corp. Barnes had a fall out over some eggs, and had gotten in to apretty hot argument. Corp. Wild happening to pass along, tried to paci- fy them and Coleman, not caring to be interfered with, hit Wild over the head with an ebony walking stick. \Vild fell like a log and had to be car- ried into quarters, while Coleman was arrested and placed in the guard house. For nearly two weeks Corporal Wild did not come to, and even then he was not fully in command of his senses. He would talk for a few minutes and then his mind would wander. The doctors found that his skull had been fractured and that an operation was necessary. The operation was success- ful and Corporal Wild is now doing duty in Argao. He is not going to prosecute Coleman, and is now trying to get him out of the scrape as light as possible. Coleman is now in San Pedro prison in Cebu, awaiting trial. \Vell, I suppose you must be getting tired of me by this time and I am about run down. I will not occupy your time any longer. Give my best respects to all my friends, and love to my sisters and yourself, and if you don’t hear form me for some time, never think that I am in trouble, or that I am sick in bed, for these are two things I have managed to steer pretty clear of so far.
