X.ottor from J. S. Hinckley.
Calcoocan, P. I , Feb. 19, 1901.
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

We noticed that about ten of them
did not make any scramble for food

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

rolling. By the way, should you
come to Calcoocau the best place,
abide from the Chinese restaurant,

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

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.
