saluted bv U. S. vessels , and whether
Spanish prisoners had ever been turned

on the table.

Extracts From the Diary of a Soldier.
R. S. Dennis , private in Co. C of the
Twelfth : Infantry , who now lives in
Valentine , was one of the boys who
went to the Philippines to help tight
the insurgents , and as he is a methodi
cal young man he keptra sort of diary
from which we are privileged to make
the following extracts , relating to his
trip from New York to Manila :
The transport Sheridan left Pier Xo.
22 at New York City , at 3.16 p. m. on
Sunday , * eb. 19,1899 , with 1,342 men
and officers belonging to the Twelfth ,
four companies of the Seventeenthcon-
sisting of 458 men and officers , and 54
stragglers , or men who had not gone
out , vith their regular regiments , u to
tal of 1,754 persons , in addition to the
crew of the vessel. From the start un
til March 1st the diary shows that the
weather was fair , and for two days the
sea Avas heavy , and the boys all won
dered if they would ever see land again.
On the twelfth day out , Friday , March
' 3 , the boat arrived at Gibraltar at 7.30
a. m. , and although the English were
willing , the Spanish doctors would not
allow the men to land on account of a
case of measles which had developed
on board the ship. Nevertheless the
boat was anchored off the city until 7.20
p.m of March 5 , and teaming through
the Mediterranean , arrived at Malta
early in the forenoon of March 8. It
was at this point that Sergt William
son's vifc and baby were loft. All
were permitted to land at this point ,
and a very enjoyable time was hud for
fourd.ys ! The English soldiers here ,
about 12.000 of llxm. treated our boys
like brolhoi-s. and the fortifications and
points of inlcrest in the island were
thoroughly explmvJ. About l.venty
British war \vssols were at anchor in
the bay. Leaving Malta , the transport
steamed > t < 'atiily 10 Port Said the entrance -
trance of the. Hue/ canal , and after ly
ing then- for half a dapuratted Its way
through the great canal , the trip to
K < 'ity , the other terminus , occupy
in eihteen ours. In the evening of
Marclh 17 they proceeded .on their way
to the Orient , and five days later stop-
pud fora few minutes at Aden , in the
Arabian Sea , and then sailed on for
Colombo , on the island of Ceylon ,
which point was reached on the 20th.
Here the vessel remained for three
days , giving the boys an opportunity to
stretch their limbs , and started for Sin
gapore , on the Malay pe-tinsula , where
another stop of li day and a half was
made. Leaving this noted place , the
transport headed directly for Manila ,
arriving there at 8.40 a in. on the
morning of Friday , April 14 , having
been 54 days on the trip , and landing
11,673 miles from their starting point.
The weather during' the trip was uni
formly good , but one storm having
been experienced. The transport upon
which this trip was made was a noted
one , and the average speed during the
voyage , 2xclustve of stops , was about
300 miles a uay , or as ar a * trom Val
entine to Omaha. The longest run for
a day was 327 miles , and the shortest
was 218 miles , during a heavy soa.
This is a f < iir sample of the trips usual
ly made by our soldiers in going to the
Philippines , and well illustrates the
points of interest seen by soldiers. Af

evening with considerable interest.
The total length of time elapsing be

was not more- than three minutes , if
that long , and was something which
