KINGHORN IN THE PHILLIPINES
Manila , August 22 , 1898.
Dear Parents : We arrived in
town the 13th of August as I sup
pose you have road in the papers
already. We have been put in an
old warehouse as barracks for the
present. I think we will be home
by cold weather or perhaps befor
the exhibition closes. We ma )
start in time for this letter to fol
low us acioss on the boat. The
China has gone to Hong Kong foi
orders and is expected back by the
27th of this mouth , and then we
will know what is going to hap
pen.
pen.The
The company I aiu in hasu'
lost a man yet , and there were
only nineteen killed and thirt }
wounded , all told. The Spaniards
fight after night , but we were
ready for them and got 500 o ;
them , so a Spaniard told us yes
terday. They came at us aboul
10 a. m. and we let them get up
close and commenced on them
with rifles o the Springfield anc
Krag-Jorgenson patterns ; no can
non were used at all. We lost two
killed and two hurt the night we
were out. It was about the Otli
or 7th of this month and we aie
all right now.
The fourth expedition of 5,000
troops came in yesterday so there
are plenty of us here now. The
Spaniards are O. K. and as quiel
as any body can wish. They
thought we would use them pretty
rough but they were fooled as
they chase around over town with
out their arms and the boys treat
them better than they do the na
tives. It makes the natives mud
and they go after the Chinamen
and raise thunder with them once
in a while , and we have to run
some of them in every day or two.
The kids are the worst of the na
tives. They steal the fruit and
stuff the Chinamen are selling on
the streets. They gather around
him and he will start to leave and
one will grab the basket and yank
it ; he will reach for that fellow
and the others will upset the stuff
on the sidewalk and run.
There are more Chinamen here
than any other class of people.
The town is an old one and covers
a large territory. It has 50,000
Chinese and some English , Dutch ,
French and all other kinds. There
was only one American here before
we came , but there are a few more
now.
Well , I will have to close pretty
soon as I have my gun to clean
and fix up and have to write to
my best girl and find out what is
the matter with her as I haven't
heard from her since we left
Frisco. I got a letter from you
the morning we got to camp after
the night we had the scrap in the
trenches. I lost the letter but re
member getting it. There was a
shell bursted about thirty feet
from me that night but it hurt no
body as it was too high.
I have a few relics which I have
got here that I will try to get home
with. I have the skin of a sea
horse all in good shape which I
got of a native kid , a watch , some
shells and a few other things ; also
vase which I picked up in a
house at the Spanish breast-works
one day when we were up there.
September 24th. We hear so
many reports that we are going
home that I quit writing for a day
or two. I was on guard last night
and am sleepy today , but there is
too much racket to slpep so I will
try to write awhile. I am feeling
very good now as we are in the
town. I suppose you have read
the account before this so I wont
tell much about it. We had been
on outpost duty for twenty-four
hours and started for camp when
\ve got orders to take four days'
rations and 200 rounds of ammuni
tion and go back to the trenches.
Before we got back Dewey started
on the walls and we saw a white
flag up and we came in easy only
we were tired. We never fired a
shot that day uor while on outpost
duty the day before. I can tell it
easier than I can write it. I
haven't been around the town
much yet , but if reports are true
we may stay here six months or
more and may be we will follow
this letter home ; there is 110 tell
ing. I am ready to start any time
uo\v.
You ought to see me while I am
writing this. I have on a sailor
shirt which looks pretty nobby.
It's a size too small for me , but
that is all right ; I can fit it if I
try. We got some stuff out of a
Spanish officer's rooms and this
shirt is one thing we got. I bor
rowed it to wear while I get my
blue shirt washed. We expect to
start for home before the 15th of
September , and if not then not be
fore six mouths , so I am going on
every day the same , taking care of
today and letting tomorrow bring
what it will.
There are coal , gold , silver and
lead mines on these islands , but
they haven't been worked for three
years. Business is booming now
but stores have been closed for
three or four years , so we can see' '
quite a change since we came to
town.
They are raising Spain's sub
marine fleet ( as Dewey calls it )
out of the river or channel where
the boats come in. They blew two
all to pieces yesterday , and a third
which the dons burnt and sunk
the } * will raise. Then there nre
several steam launches they sunk
after we came that Dewev is going
to raise. They have a wrecking
machine and two dredges here ,
and Dewey is usinjj them.
We are quartered in a ware
house with the third battalion and
we are not crowded either. T\'e are
partitioned off with bales of manila
tow. The boys are nearly all in
good health. I would not stay in
this country twenty-four hours if
I could get away.
I have received your letter
July 13th. I am all right and got )
over here in good shape. Therf j
never was a trip made acioss the it
Pacific that was smoother , and the !
seamen said they had . ever seen a (
better trip. We had one squall
and that is all the rough sea we
had. Thanks for the flowers. I't '
have described the country pretty !
well except that it is mountainous
and good for mining and fruit- (
raising. 11
They wont let us go out of to\vu j
on account of the natives raising !
thunder to get in with their arms , { l.
but Dewey is taking their arms ,
away from them as fast as he can. \ *
As for myself I carry fifty rounds j (
of ammunition and a Springfield !
rifle on guard most of the time. (
We are on every fourth day as we
have a district to guard and the-
third battalion has it , too. We are j
stationed all over the city.
I heard from my girl the same
time your letter got here and am (
feeling pretty good now. I got a |
clipping from a paper about me
which she sent giving me quite u
blowout. I got some pictures of
her along with the rest. I would <
have some taken here , but they <
cost $10 a dozen so I wont have'
any. It is so warm that I am i !
sweating pretty freely. 1 am just ,
about the same weight , ISO.
We drill once a day except Saturdays - -
urdays and Sundays and then we
loaf. Saturdays wo have iuspec-i
tion and Sundays wo don't do any
thing after church at S a. m. and
7 p. m. As far as being civilized
is concerned , the natives are abput
like the American Indians. They
are wilder farther out from shore
or towns around the buy. They are
trying to get into Cavito every
night , but they can't make it as
the TJ. S. boys are too wideawake
for them. They say they wont
give up their guns and want to
fight , and they will get it if they
don't look out MS Dewey IIHB some
rapid fire guns on two or thre.6
steam launches which burn around , .
the bay.
The bay is about eight miles
wide by twelve long , with rivers or
inlets everywhere around th * Hides.
The main stream runs through
Manila and is fed by o lake about
fifteen miles from the buy. This
country looks about like Stanley's
pictures of Africa. The towns and
buildings are Chinese in design ,
they forming the principal part of
the population.
The boys of this company were
a sleepy lot when tin } servant
called out uJIail , " but everybody
was awake and up in two seconds.
I saw Steve Belles in Frisco but 1
haven't found Art Ingles yet ,
though I haw heard the name
several times at mil call.
I will have to close and mail
this as the boat starts at 4 p m.
and it is 1 now and the boys are
waiting for the mail from u- .
