A Former Webster County Boy Tells
His Trip Across and Our New Pos
sessions as He Finds Them
Ofp Lauhomk Islands,
November 19, 1898.
After thrco dnys of quarantine in
Iho bay off Honolulu wo pulled anchor
on Thursday, November 10th, and slip-
pod out of the hnrbor about 11 o'clock
a. in. For about four dnys tho son was
calni and besides the usual amount of
sou sickness there was nothing worth
mentioning happentd Hut on tlio
llfth day out the morning bioko with
a ntiu storm and with tho wind blow
ing at a rapid rate. Tlio sea continued
to grow tougher until by night tho
waves leaped high over tho deck. Somo
boing from twenty to thirty feet high.
Tho captain ordered tho reserve
Chinese crow on deck and everything
loose wns lashed to the rail or somo
substantial place. Wo woro ordered
win enjoyed by the boys. Wo eponi
Ninnktgiving on tho China sea, eating
fried beefsteak for our turkey.
Manila, Nov. 20 We came in Manila
Hay about 0 o'clock this morning and
pa-ned Dewoj's ileet and tho remains
of the SpanMi Ileet. Wo sco the city
if Manila before us. The bay is almost
eoveied with English and German gun
boats After eight days of wailing in
the Hliip wo iceeived orders to dlsotn
b.irk and after getting our belongings
together wo boarded what is called
llghteis or caskets. They nro long
lint boats used to 1-jad and unload
ships as tho bay Is too shallow font
ship to approach noaicr than three
miles of tho shore. Tho caskets ale
about 100 feet long and two families of
natives live in each one. Wo landed
amid a crowd of Nebraska boys oigei
tn see Mimo fnmiliar face or have a
chat with some old friend. They gavo
us thrco cheois for Nebraska and then
we inarched through town headed by
tho Nebraska band playing "A Hot
Time." We found tho boys nil in good
quarters. Each battilllon has a largo
factory or somo other large building.
Our battalion is quaitered in tho old
Spanish administiation building, whero
wo have plenty of room. Wo fat o well,
much better than wo havo been. Wo
have a largo dining room with real
tables to oat on. Tho boys drill about
an hour each day, that boing early in
tlio morning when it is cool. If you
wish a taste of hot weather just take a
stroll through Maniln. Tho air is damp
but it is so still and tho sun so hot that
you would naturally thlhk that tho
tnwn was on lire. Wo havo mot all tho
boys and thoy seom in no rush to go
homo.
Tho natives hero aro all In tribes and
most of the tribes, except in town, arc
barbarous. They do not know what
civilization is. But thoso that have
been In contact with tho Americans
llko Amorlcan rule. When somo tribo
out iu tho foothills makes-n- dash into
tho city, plundering and stealing every
thing loose, thou is when tlio fun comes
in. All ttlo lnrge buildings aro built
on tho dcfenslvo plan. Tho sides aro
stone, tho windows barred with iron
grating, tho doors all bolted on the In
siee, the roof shingled with glass shin
gles of nil shades, so there is no possi
ble show of forcing an entrance. Tlio
nativo dwellings aro all mado of bam
boo poles and covered with hay or
leaves. Tho streets aro of tho Clnnoso
style, being nnnow and dirty. Tho
natives are dishonest and tricky and

without being shook out. Wo would
just stand and brace ourselves up, but
when morning dawned tho sea hud
subsided considerable, yet was quite
rough. Tho fiisttuatosaid that during
tho night two typhoons wcro cited but
both woro somo forty or fifty miles off.
Ho aid that wo only passed through a
Ilttlo squall. Wo aro averaging about
380 miles overy twenty-four hours or a

Last Sunday at 12 o'clock wo passed

Novombor 14th. Wo left somo two
hundred men at Honolulu and wo havo
a httlo more room than when we loft
Frisco. The boys aro standing tho trip
tlue. Wo have only about twenty-two
men iu tho hospital. Wo aro farcing
much hotter than during our lirsl trip

day and a good variety such as it is.
At 0 a. in. wo get codec and hardtack,
at 10 a.m. wo get a square meal, at 8 p.

on board. Wo havo thrco natives that
enlisted nt Honolulu and tie boys havo
considorablo aimisomont in watching
them dance their Hawaiian dance and
slug. Thoy possess very musical voices.
Wo have not sighted a ship yet, and
for tight days tlio only sign of life out
sido of the ship lias boon largo wiuged
sea gulls and shoals of flying lish as
thoy fly glittering iu tho sun light.
Most of tho boys sleep on deck, as tlio
thormomotor Is about 85 degrees, yet
thero is always a cool breeze. For two
or threo days wo had poor drinking
water, some water was sold to tho boys
at ton conts a drink, and poor water at
that. Some of tho boys that aro sea
sick buy somo of their eatables, paying
tlftooucoutsforafried egg, ten conts
for a potato, iifteou cents for a cup of
cocoa tea andjjtuor things in propor
tion. November 20th at about a.m. tho
joyful cry of land rang. through tho
vessel from stem to storu, anu as soon
us possible cvorybody was ou tho deck
looking iu ovory dlrootlon for a glimpse
of tho lost treasure. Finally a small
object was scon ahead which rcsombled
to a great oxtont u haystack, but as wo
drew nearer It pi o veil to bo a volcano.
Wo passed within about a mile of it.
Tho volcano Is about 1200 foot high and
from its summit was issuing a greot
volume of smoke. The upper hail
o! tho volcano la of a doop rod color,
being red hot. "Tho island waa almost
oomBletelf covered by large white

lined with thloves and beggars. Tho
natives do not wear scarcely any
clothing and never hats or shoes. Tho
horses hero aro from two and a half to
four feet high and ouly ono horso bug

hcavv work ii dono with tho water

to rido, a family going at a tlmo. The
wotnon carry all small articles in a
largo flat basket on their beads. Yes
terday a party of us wont out to tho
Paso burying ground to dig a grave for
ono of tho boys of our company. Tho
gravo yard is surrounded by a high
stono wall, tho goto being guarded by
natives. Most of tho bodies of natives
aro laid in a vault, for which thoy havo
boon paying tho Spanish a largo sum
for rent, and if they failed to pay tho
rent the body was taken out and
thrown in tho bono pile. Tho bono
pile is a pile of human skulls and bones
about ton feet high, twenty feet long
and ten feet wide.
Part of tho city of Manila is sur
rounded by a great wall somo liftcen
feet high and covered on tho top by
icicles of glass, and inside of this wall
is canal and inside of the canal is an
other wall covered llko tho first, so
thero is no show of forcing an en
trance. It is guarded by Americans
now. Tito principal occupation of tlio
natives horo is raising tobacco, ion
can get cigarettes at two and a half
cents per hundred and cigars half a
cent each. 1 went thiough a cigarette
factory whero thero were COO persons
employed and they turn out 0,000 pack
ages daily. I also visited tho oil, rope,
basket, twiue, so-tp and canning fac
tories. Tlio natives are vory industri
ous in those lines.
We havo just recolvod orders to
move out on ono of tho outposts where
somo danger is expected, as Aguinaldo
is uniting his forces.
Wo aro in tho best of health.

Havana, Cuba, Jan. 13, '90.
I will write a few lines and let tho
peoplo know how tho Nobruska boys
aro getting along. I joined tho regi
ment Monday morning and havo been
taking in the bights ever sinco, and
thero aro plenty of them to see. 1
came over on the transport Manitoba.
Was threo days aud threo nights on tho
way. I did not got sea sick but came
very near getting sick from watching
thoso who woro. Tho sea was rough
the Hi st day, but after that it was flue.
Ono man died on board and somo of
tho others were quite sick. Thero was
about twelve hundred horses and
the same number of men on board. It
was crowded on the boat and everyone
was glad whon we landed. Wo land
ed in the morning aud had a good view
of ovcrylliing in the harbor. Wo pass
ed right by Mono Castle and tlio
wreck of the Mniue which is nearly all
under water. Thetearo nil kinds of
breastworks and foitllicatlons along
the shore. Theio nro stone walls aud
riflu pits all ooi the country us far as
1 have been. Our camp is out in tho
country about eight miles from Hav
ana, or at least it seemed that far to
me, but I rode out on a load of hay ami
maybe that made It seem farther. Wo
havo n lino place to camp and the boys
aro looking better than I ever saw
them. Wo have no guard lines, but
thoy won't let the boys go to Havana,
but for my part I d ui'i want to go us
thoy havo tho smallpox and yellow fov-
er in tovn. mere are other small
towns near hero that wo can go to
when we want to. Tho streets of
Havana run in all directions and aro
not as clean as they might be. Tlioro
are some very nice gardens with all
kinds of trees and vines. I don't seo,
how tlio Cubans got very hungry. I
think if they would turn me loose heto
I could live fit on half what thero is
here. I guess they aro tiled of fitiit as
the little Cuban boys po around camp
and pick up ail the scraps of bread and
other stuff wo throw away. Thero aro
somo of the prettiest girls hero I over
saw. ll nny ol tlio boys oyer theio
want a girl send them over. I wns
down on the beach yesterday and
picked up some shells. The bench is
solid lock and mi rough thntyoucan
scarcely walk on ii 1 found a brass
covered Mauser bullet that hud stitiek
a rock. It is the only one I have seen.
Wo aro noar tho graveyard jvhero tho
boys from tho Maine are buried. I
b tve not been ovtr yet but naost of tho
boys have. To'ere u another grave
yard hero somewhere whero tho CuJ
bans bury their (lead. The relatives of
tho dead havo to pay a certain amount
of rent overy Uvo years and if they
don't they dig them out nnd throw
them away. Thero aro hundreds of
skeletons piled up, they say, that have
been thrown away. Some of the boys
went down there and brought back
some skulls, but I don't care for any
iust now. I don't want anybody carry
tntr my skull around after I am dead.
