A SPANISH RAG Part of the Flag that Waved Over the l'ort at Manila rORN DOWN BY WHEELING BOY tml Received Yesterday by bis Mother in This City?An Interesting Letter from John Springer, an. Island boy, who has Been Serving in the Eighteenth Regular Infantry in tlio Philippines ?Ho lias Returned, and will Visit in "Wheellug. In July of 1897, John Springer, an [Bland boy, son of Henry Springer, of South Wabash street, ran away from lome, and enlisted In the regular army. He was assigned to the Eighteenth In'antry, and until the war with Spnln woke out he was stationed at Fort ftllcq In TflYn# C/win nff??P thft nilt? jrcak of hostilities the Eighteenth was ?rdered to the Philippines, and Springer, of course, went with his regiment. :n December his term of enlistment ex>Ired, and as will be seen by a perusal >f the letter printed below, which was received by his mother yesterday, he las decided to come home, being sick ind tired of the Philippines. The leter is as follows: CAV1T15, P. I., Dec. 8, 1808. My Dear Mother:?I thought I would Mile you on? more letter before I leave Javite for tho United States. I am discharged on next Sunday morning, and eave for San Francisco on Monday. I nave been waiting for a long time for ills day, and 1 can tell you truly that I am Klad, very glad, to get away from iero. I am in excellent health, never felt jotter in my life, but 1 had a spell of fever i short time ago, and am afraid if I stayed >n the island much longer 1 would get ilck again, and to be sick in this country, s almost as bad as perdition.

They have been trying :o have me re-enlist for another three rears, but they cannot persuade mo 'to hlnk their way. The doctor even offered 0 make me a steward, the highest rank in enlisted man ran attain, but J ilrmly >ut kindly refused to think about It for a single minute. Enclosed you will And a piece of the Spanish Hag that waved over the fort at Manila. 1 tore tho piece off the tlag myself, and 1 know that It Is genuine. I am laving a cum? made from a pl'?ee of the "bridge" of the Spanish tlag-ehip Keina Christina: it is quite a novelty. I have several other curiosities that I am brJngng home with me, and will send you some. 1 leavH hero Monday evening at." o'clock, ind will arrive at Hong Kong December and leave there tho same day for the United States. Will write to you upon caching San Francisco. Am sending also 1 book of scenes around Manila, with the uues translated into English, so you will inderstand what each represents. Affectionately your son, JOHN. The piece of the Spanish flap Springer tells about Is about six by four inches, and shows equal parts of the cd and yellow that are the principal :olors of Spain's standard.
