ISditok Tkiuune: Well today is Shrove Tuesday and Chinese New Year's day both in one, and tonight is the military governor's auual reception and may be you think that it is a dull time here. People in the states who think that this is entirely out of the world arc sadly mistaken. We have enjoyment here of our own kind; some might not like the kind but for one who does' there is nothing- 'ike it. My company is divid ed into a dozen or more details which are scattered out into differ ent parts of the island looking after different work. I have just been detailed as one to assist in the work 011 a road from Manila to Noval iches. a distance of about twenty miles. Today I had charge ot twenty-four natives and I thought how easy for them it would be if they were so inclined to do me up with their picks and shovels. I do not mean that I had any fear of that, for our road guards were dis continued two weeks ago and had long been unnecessary. In the early part of the winter we never went 011 t of the post unless armed and even the native policemen went in couples but since General Mc Arthur's proclamation there have been wholesalearrests made of spieo who lurk about in the guise of amigos and this ha done much to give fie people confidence in us and make them think that we arc in earnest. I can say nothing definite about the state of affairs except what 1 have seen here within twen ty-five miles of Manila. I have heard shots fired but twice and have not smelled powder at all. A company of Macabebe infantry organized under the new army law arrived at our post today. These Filipino troops will be ot great service in clearing the islandH of straggling bands of insurgents and ladrones. There is no trouble iu getting them, in fact many more could be obtained than are required and I think that many of the in surgents would rather be in our services than in the insurgent army. I find it very difficult study. ing Spanish here for there are so many jargons spoken and but little Spanish. In fact there are few Spaniards Icit in Manila but I am getting acquainted with some of them and occasionally take dinner with one of them, If the people here thought as much of their children as they do of their minooks (lighting-cocks) they would be models of parental solicitude. The workmen in the R. R. shops here bring their roosters svith them and stake them out with Htrings about iour feet in length and let them sit arouud and crow while they work. In the evenings they sometimes spend hours in washing them and pulling out their loose feathers. It is only just to these natives to lay that they are eager to learn our language and are picking up American ways. The hay sellers in the city of Manila haye formed a labor organ ization and raised the price of hay to one Mexican dollar for a hundred liaudfulls. The octopus has made its appearance right here iu our post and one of the worst kind of trusts is formed by the children who come to our kitchen to receive what You Need Quite a number of the following articles. WE HAVE Rubber Hose Nozzles, Gaskets, Hose Couplings, Lawn Rakes, Spades, Garden Tools, Poultry Netting. Better make up your list ana see us. filcox Department M food we have left from each meal. We noticed that about ten of them did not make any scramble for food but seemed satisfied if one of them prosp Ooud this led to an investiga saryL soon learned that these wiiiSi' Avcre running a restaurant a.i, e actually saw our oWn ,aRU sold at live cctntB a huulfult to some of the wot iters in t'lc shops. These children W'ould ijnc Mp front of our kitchcnVoorand crowd out any other one wt,t tame for scraps. We had a consultation in regard to the matter and as I was from Nebraska and had soldiered under Bryan I was consulted as to the best method of fighting this trust. It was finally decided to get the yellow journals iu Amctica to agitate the matter and thus bring pressure on Umpcror McKiuley and compel him to suppress the 111011 Hter. An cditoral in Tin: Tuiiiunh would be suitable to start the ball rolling. By the way, should you come to Calcoocau the best place, abide from the Chinese restaurant, to eat is at our quarters and you will find it on the shady side of the section house. I will mail you a few papers with this letter aB they may contain something that will interebt you. I find soldiering much different from my experience of two years ago; one hears but very little kick ing and all duty is promply at tended to. One knows just what he has to do and that he has to do it. Everything is lovely so far, as to the future, I do not know how booii I will have cold feet but there are no indications yet. I have met two men from the Third Nebraska so far, Captain Ral ston of my company aud Captain Marple of Omaha who has resigned The principal occupation of these people here is cock-fighting, or I might more properly say, gambling. On a Sunday afternoon one may see in Malabon, a place about the size of North Platte, several thousaud people all engaged in gambling on cock-fighting, monte, and other games. They have 'an enormous ntpa building dedicated to that use, and nearly 'every one who iroes takes with him his rooster aud stakes him out with a string, aud the several thousand rooster visi tors keep up a continuous crowing. While walking about in that city last Sunday I came across one house where they had up a sign stat ing that their business was renting clothes. These people although very dirty about their houses are exceedingly particular as to their clothes being always clean, and on Sunday especially it is the usual thing to sec them dreBscd in spot less white. Yours Respectfully, J. S. Hinckley. SUTHERLAND SAYINGS. The past week's snow has put the ground iu fine condition for spring work and the tillers ot the hoil are rejoicing.
