The following letter from tlie 1'lilllpplno
Islnmta was tccclvcd by Judge tlaxter a tow
days ago from Lleutcnnnt Henry M. Mor- I
row. who \vns formerly clerk In the judge's
office : I
ANOELK3 , Luzon , Philippine Islands , Nov. j
14 , IS ! ) ! ) . My Dear Judge : After n day of
hard riding 1 feel like a man who would
rather write n letter than do nny wander
ing around. All day yesterday I was out
with n party hunting up "earlbans" and
"carrndans,1 that Is , oxen and ox carts. The
great problem here for the army U that ot
transportation. The other day while I WHS
nt Mnhalacnt over night on escort duly , I
asked the adjutant general of the division ,
whether the division hail advanced that day. i
"No , It Is all n matter of rations , " ho
'
answered. The ratlous could not be ob-
tallied because of lack of transportation and
so everything falls back on tint ono prob
lem.
Night before last General McArthur tele
graphed to hit ; quartermaster to obtain nl
'
once 200 carts nnd oxen. It wan in an effort -
fort lo get these that a number of Us wcro
scouring the surrounding country all day |
yesterday.Vc started out n little party |
of ten In order to bo able to handle any
wandering parly of Insurrectos that might
be met. It Is very rare Hint one Hilda here
un Isolated farmhouse ns the farmhouse's '
arc found In the United States. A lone
house , a mlle from any other , would be iiultc
lemurkttblo Jicre. Hut. the little farmers
In n little district congregate together In a
little villare or "barrio. " H seems to be
the same plan that has been urged for the
American farmer.
Well , our procedure was to ride In these
little barrloB containing from fifty to ICO
or 200 natives , to say nothing of the dogs ,
and round up all except one or two oxen
and carte. Each Is accompanied by a na
tive driver and the government pays $2
"Mex" and rations a day for a driver , cart
and ox.'e experienced no difficulty In
getting what we found and did not llml It
ncceraary to force any of them. All were
very friendly and were pleased at getting
thcBo wages. I say "pleased ; " well , they
were when their fears were calmed and they
once realized that , something fearful wns
not about to overtake them. But the poor
wretches have been away from their homes
for months living In the mountains and
subject to all the Inclemencies or the
weather and they are no fonder of the
weather than we arc. They use umbrella ?
to shield them from the gun aud hunt for
protection from the rain and become sick
from fevers and other diseases , all the same
llko Americano. Only since November 8 ,
when the division took up the forward
movement and drove Agulnaldo north , have
these poor \vrctches dared to come back
again lo relight their llres. In several caoca
families arrived while wo were in the "bar
rio , " their families and chickens Inside
the covered cart and the dog following. To
hnvo their oxen and carts taken away before
they had fairly returned Ecemed hard. Many
of them cannot believe they will "ever bo
paid.
. * . iiK-rlc-in 1'iilU-y Toward \ndvi-n.
It is our policy to make them friendly
by treating them with the greatest fair
ness nnd even gencroiity. Tills policy will
hereafter awlst us in keeping tlie island
IMolflc. In line with this policy we look
with us the cjrgeon of the regiment with
omo medicine suitable- for fevers. His
services and medicines were freely distrib
uted.
uted.Vo
\Vo found considerable- fever and the ULlle
babies wcro sutl'crlng more than the rest.
Hut the hind treatment had Its effect. As
we came back through nome villages Home
mother with sick children who had not
allowed their children to be declared as we
went out , met us with the children at the
outskirts of the village asking for the doc
tor. A large number of passes were alee
given to admit persons who cannot be
helped except at the hospital. The whole
process In dealing with the natives and .ill
our course of treatment 1ms been something
that Is above criticism from the standpoint
of Justice and humanity. It Is not generally
thought thai this confiding treatment Is
a good thing In the largo townn , where , ac
cording to accounts , treachery has been fre
quently met with. There aomo severity Is
necessary to hold in chuck those who are
anxious to canro trouble.
Wo found the people In these "barrlcs"
cpcak a dialect that Is net understood by a
Spaniard and In turn very few iindeivitnml
Spanish. The little Spanish wo have learned
Is usually of no service to us. This seems
singular when you consider that we are
only fifty-seven miles from Manila , yet wo
can find other dialects qulto different oven
shorter distances from here. The larger
towns are quite pretty In appearance , nnd
icasonnbly clean , but tl'o little ones wien
the weather Is wet look like an American
hog wallow ; they smell llko one , lee , and
they could very easily pans for one. Hogs
are present , lee , to heighten the resem
blance. Undoubtedly nil thU IB the very
lowchl and poorest of the farming popula
tion , and I guess the lowest and poorest
of all countries look allko to me. It IB Iho
great middle class thut determines Interna
tional Htumltng of a people , nnd thut middle
clnffi flc'cms to be lacking here HO far UH [
1'nvo been able to discover. Of course , wu
see. things at their worst , Just after two
armies have passed through , and the vil-
have for months been abandoned.
T < nvn nl' AiiKt'leH ,
This village of Angeles ( pronounced An-
i hales ) , which Is credited with a population
' of 11,000 , la considered ono of the prettiest ,
I best drained nnd best built towna occupied
| by thu troops , Very few native Inhabitants
i are here , hut Ihoy nro rapidly sneaking in
i now.Ve are not anxious to have thorn roino
back for there Is nothing here to support
! them , whllo In the country they can earn
"
n living at lettst. I elmll not attempt to
describe the houses. 1 was aurprlaed to llml
hero and there in the town and out In the
country the wieck of a modern Hewing ma
chine , but along with It wo found stocks
such as wr-ro once used In our country to
punish people.
Yesterday In the mountains , In n new
village of llnlucat refugees , I found a side
raildle of good make , whllo the village was
Illthy ; also a young Filipino wearing a Slot-
ami Htltf hat , while the presence of disease
' wax mm manifest. It Is n great place for
I opposltce. Wo find bows and nrrows In
i abundance. It Is fald they are used almost
entirely to phoo * . birds.
In the mountains I drank n delightful cup
of chocolate of Filipino make and ate some
little wheat or rlee cakes that tasted like
American cookies , but I drew the line at a
fried pancake that was heavy enough for
bullets. Hut do not get the Idea that theae
untlvc.s are all stupid nnd Ignorant. Many
do seem to liu to in both facial expression
and in fact. But men and women become
-quite homely nt an early age. But the boys
and young men between 16 and 25 do sec-m
to be very quick and bright It is Haiti that
lliu Filipinos are not as quu k and apt Ub
some other Oriental people * * but be that as
U may they arc vry quick and sharp
I started in on tliu letter in a haphazard
fashion und hn\c Just kepi wandering ou.
i
I will RO back to the time of our nrrlvnl i
liere nnd let you know what wo have l-oon !
doing. Wp arrived on November 1 ; the en-
lire regiment was transported here from
Manila In one day , although the Americans
control only four or live engines. On arrival
our battalion went Into quarters In huts
mid nro sllll In them. My brother Frank's
regiment wns hero and remained hero until
November fi. On the Sth my brother Will
fnmo up on n short leave to my complete
sutprlse. So I hnve most unexpectedly been
nblc to see them both within ten days of
my nrrlvnl.
Otitiioit Duly.
After n day or two of rest wo entered on
our llrst tour ot outpost duty on November
I This , you know , Is quite an Important
event In the life of n new regiment nnd la
usually just ns funny for older regiment *
is It seems serious to them. H Is the usual j
experience of now regiments Hint on their
first lour of outpost duty they shoot nt
every shadow and every rustling hush and
It Is Jokingly said that the enemy can tell
when n new regiment Is on outpost duly
by the promiscuous firing that la done.
Many nro the stories of how new regiments
killed dogs and entile thai were
heard wandering In the woods.
As we were rlghl up here
next to the enemy nnd as not n shot hud
been fired by the outpost of either army
for ten days before our arrival , wo were
expected to wnke. thlnga up. But we nre
quite pioud of the fact llutt during our
first two nights ot duty not n shot was fired
by us. The stray cattle In the woods were
safe those two nights' .
On the morning of November Pi the llrst
forward movement was made by my brother
Frank's regiment. We were placed In po
sition ready to take a part In the conlllct
If necessary , hut wo were not needed. Wo
beard the firing of the Seventeenth n short
dlatance away , bill wo could not gel In the
scrap. Three days later all the rcsl of the
division except our regiment moved forward ,
but again wo were dl-sappolntcd , for there
was no lighting. We were left behind to garrison
risen the city and to guard wagon trains ,
furnish patrols to neighboring ( owns and
do any other necessary duty. U has been a
great disappointment to us that we have
not been able to go ahead with ( he regiment.
Personally 1 have been on one expe.lltlon
up to MnhnlnPhe with an escort to a wagon
train and hnve done some outpost duty dur
ing the first few days. In n day or two I
hope to go with n patrol to Malung. Today
orders were received that breaks the regi
ment up Into small pieces. Six companies
arc scattered over four towns and the other
six remain here. Fortunately our battalion
remains in Angeles. This breaking up of
the regiment incniiH that for porno vceks
we will do garrison duty. Whether we
will get oul of It In time to see nny active
service Is a question.
\V : r .Veilfly Over.
Wo are all quite satisfied , from what we
see about us , that the war Is very near
a close. It may bo thai Agulrtaldo Is al
ready shul In and will be unable to escape
to the north. But even If he does he will
have to leave the best part of the Islrtnd In
cur possession and we will , In a few months ,
re-establish the commerce that Is sa neces
sary to bring bark prosperity. The bcal
part of the Island will be pacified and
Aguinaldo will bo so far fram Manila that
ho will worry no one. That Is the way It
seems to un. I am supremely confident that
before next Juno all organized opposition
lo our government will bo crushed com
pletely. Jusl pul this down ns my safe
guess.
'By the way. I do not know whal news you
get In your papers , bill Ihe news published
In the Manila papers as to the fighting and
particularly na to the enemy's losses Is.very
reliable. The facts as published tally so
far with those wo get from 'division head
quarters. Of course the papers write things
up somewhat enthusiastically , but the state
ments 'bcnenth the rhetoric nre facts. I
Judge from this that you probably get au-
thentl ? news In your papers.
You know we are supposed to be in ( ho
dry season , but the Lord gave us from the
wet season If this Is the dry. H Inn ralne.I
just about every other day since wo have
been hero and for two dnys now It has
atlended strictly to the rain , business. I
have been soaked so jnany' times lhat I
cease any longer to mind It' ; ' I siilppcce It
will gel us Into thai desirable condition
called "acclimated , " unless we get web-
footed first. Yours ,

THREE GREAT BATTLE SHIPS
I'liniN I'rruiiriMl for ( In.Mont 1'ower-
fu ! VcNNclM In Any
Xiivy.
NE\V YORK. Occ. BO. A special lo the
Tribune from Washington Bays : Designs
for the greatest battleships ever projected
for the American navy were agreed upon by
the Naval Board 'of Construction today after
several months of discussion over the
important questions of hatter/ , armor , speed ,
coal capacity anil displacement. The three
new vcsacls to bo called the Georgia , New
Jersey nnd Pennsylvania will equal In for-
mldablllly the finest line of battleships yet
laid down by any foreign power and with
the addition of typical American Improve
ment will mirjKuu in filming force any
ships now afloat. t
The nallont feature of the design con
template n displacement of approximately
14,000 tons , n compared with the Oregon's
11,000 or the new Mulno'x 12,300. The
speed is to bo "at least nineteen knots , "
with a coal bunker capacity of 2,000 tons , .
There will bo two HUperlmpoKed turrets ,
ono fore and the other aft , each containing
two twelve-Inch and two eight-Inch guns
of the new elongated bore nnd high snioke-
leps powder velocity. The remaining guna
of the main battery will consist of twelve :
six-inch riuluk-flro broadsides. This ar
rangement of battery has been finally
adopted Instead of mi alternative plan , which
provided for four twelve-men nuns In tur
rets nnd sixteen fix-Inch broadside , which
had been put forward to avoid the expedient
of superimposed turretw. The two-story
turrets , which nre a instinctively American
i Innovation , ns applied to the Keaiwirge and
I Kentucky , are regarded as no longer of
| doubtful SUCCCHS and It Is known that for-
| clgii governments are preparing to adopt
I them to secure the concentration and angle
of flro they secure , which is unapproached
by nny other expedient.
The board also definitely determined upon
the use of the most modern Krupplzed armoi
foi the new vessels.
The total cobt of each of these three ships
when ready for sea will exceed { 7,000OOC
each. They will cruise 7,000 miles straight
away and there will not be three ships ol
similar offensive und defensive strength Ir
the fleet of any possible enemy.
