HAWAII TO MANILA. Lieutenant Baldwin Writes In terestingly of the Long Voyage. Saw Strange Sights —Court Martial and Its Con sequence. Lieutenant Baldwin, who waa com manding officer of the detachment of North Dakota boya, who aailed on the Indiana, writes to bia father: Today ia Sunday and everything id the way of drills and inspection ia auapond ed exoeftt the abower batba whioh all enlieted men have to take every evening. The band gave ua aome religioue muaio and we had a few aonga whioh took the plaoe of religious service. We have no ohaplain on board. There ia eight pria oners in the guard bouse: one for steal ing a pie two for atealing an onion and five for not standing at attention. Ned Mattison, first sergeant looka af ter everything and be and Will Hotoh kisa are all right and so is Pete Eddy, they all know their business and won't take any back talk. Gene Bigelow drills the men. It the setting up exeroisee, they raised a little objection to coming out in their bare feet, but the army regulationa aaya go and go it muat. The men diaoarded all their blue olotbee and have put on their duok. I do not believe half of the men on the boat know the day of the week aa there ia no way to distinguish time on the boat. Were it not for Bill Harding, Jack Cadieux (Happy Jaok), and Lou Molier (Maggie), the boyejwould have trouble to pasa away time. Aa jokers they are hard to beat, they keep ever) one good natured and when anyone finds fault about the grub you abould bear the roast they get. "You never had a square meal before "you were always starved at home". Obaa. Hutchinson, who worked for Oomrade Mason, said, "if I ever get back home I'll stay there. One of the employeeo handling a re volver in tbe captain's room, acoideotly discharged it, but fortunately noone waa injured. Tbe ball went through aeveral partitions. Home exoitement waa cauaed today by one of tbe firemen of tbe Ohio jump ing overboard. We all turned around and went back and spent an hour in search bat could not find the pojr fellow. The temperature in the engine room ia 135 degreee no wonder a man goea waane. Weoameineightof tbe voloanoFar •Hon De Pajaroa. We paaaed it about five milea to tbe north. It was quite aight with ite amoke and the refieotion of the fire, and after dark wa could lee it for quite a number of milea. I waa appointed one of tbe nine men constituting a court martial. We tried a man for refueing to obey ordere and he waa fined 123 and five daya at bard labor. Minneapolia or Chieago paper of laat night would bring S10.00. We are all full of apeoulation aa to wnat baa taken plaoe in the far weat, and have looked for a boat for news until we are tired and now do not expeot any news until we get to Manila. Tbe boya are now all cluatered around Will Hotobkias, who ia diabing out their portion of bread, coffee and aalad. John McElroy, Harry Stoops, Callahan, Bigelow, MoLean, Mattison and other boya are taking everything in sight and calling for more. We tried another case yesterday, a private wbo waa charged with etealiog a packet knife worth $1.25, and alao with using obscene language to Sergeant J. O. Eddy. His sentence waa three months at bard labor and a dishonorable dis charge. Tbe atealing waa wbat did it. July 30.—Since yeaterday morning we have been in sight of the main island (Luzon) and it appears to be very moun tainous, with a few native villages scat tered along the banks. It is very heavy timbered and makes a beautiful sight. I have just paid my board bill—851. I think it a shame we have to pay for board. July 31—Sixth Suuday ou board. We are here at last aod oa all sides of us are American men of war and colliers. News of nil kinds is largely sought for. When told that Santitigo bad fallen and tbe annexation of Hawaii tbe men turned themnelves loose. Everything is quiet but ae we came in the bay there was a big tire in Manila out what it was we could not find out. August 1—It baa rained about every fifteen minutes since we arrived. Once in awhile we can bear tbe reports of firiug all aloDg the line but both aides are in iutreocbments and very little harm is being done. I don't know when we can be paid off. They pay ns part in Mexican money at 50 per cent on the dollar. August 2—Just received ordure to movent onoe and have to close. Tou will bear from me after tbe fall of Man ila. Ralph Froetnke's Letter. Ralph A. Froemkp, in a. letter to a friend, says: "1 waa quite ill part of tbe voyage but feel al' right now. ~Onr main kiok oea- tered on tbe grub whioh was something terrible. Hardtaok (with aooent on the hard), raw, fat pork and undrinkable ooffee three time* a day is a combina tion tough enough to make any one kiok. To the oredit of tbe officers I will say that we were treated better on our boat than thoee on the other tran ports. "Tbe boya are unanimoua in tbe 'de sire to wade right in and finiab the job. Uncle Ham baa now at leaat 12, 000 men here and we ain't afraid of twice that number of Spaniarda. "We all have an aluminum tag around oar necke about tbe size of a half dollar. The one I have oontaina tbeae worda: Co. H.N.D. Vo|s.,U. S. A. On the baok of tbe tag ia my number—12. In caae I get ahot to pieoet they will have some thing to dentify me by." The Alert ia alao in receipt of an inter eeting write-up of the trip from Friaco to Cavite, by Attorney R. E. Manly of Oarrington. The communication is long aod will appear later. In a post script he aaya: "Off Cavite, Manila, Aug. 1.—Editor Alert: Had but little time to write since arrival here, mail went out ao soon after. Mail boat coming now. All well." Harry Williams writss: "We had bet ter grub on tbe Valeuoia than on ibe other tranaporta, but it wae hard to get used to salt horse." A letter from Fred Conklin from Ma nila atatee he waa the one aick with typ hoid fever,but waa better when he wrote. He bad been given every care and moved on deck under an awning. P. M. Klaua: About 40 letters from membera of Co. H, were reoeived today. The Surprise of All. Mr. James Jones, of the drag firm of Jones & Son, Cowden. III., in speaking of Dr. King'a New Diaeovery, aaya that last winter his wife was attacked with La Grippe, and her case grew so serious that phyaioiana at Gowden and Pana could do nothing, for her. It aeemed to develop into hasty consumption.

This ia to oertify that my wife waa foi yeara afflicted with asthma, and was so far gone that several pbyaiciana decided that her caae must terminate in con sumption. I was induced to try a bot tle of Dr. Warner's White Wine of Tar Syrup. To our great satisfaction it gave almost immediate releif, ana two bottlea completely cured her. She ia now well and healthy, but I would not be without tbe medicine if it cost fifty dollara a bottle. Wm. Farrie, ChD.Bd.Tp. of Wilton, Monroe Co., Wia. More Than All Others. Rome City, Ind. Dr. C.

U. of Traill county will ia sue tbe manifesto and it will be circu lated throughout tbe atate for the pur pose of defeating the republican candidate. The first reports derogatory to tbe moral oharaoter of Mr. Halland were circulated a Bhort time before tbe holding of tbe state convention and not long after tbe oounty convention, which inatruoted for Mr. Halland, waa held in Traill oounty.

Tbe state press took up tbe matter after tbe atate convention bad nominated Halland and treated tbe matter lightly aa a rule but of late the public have evinoed a desire to get at the facta of the case and learn the truth of the matter.

The union also staked in their reso lutions that they would aupport any other oandidata who had the mental and moral quaiifioatioua for tbe office. Copiea of tbeae reaolutiona were sent to every union in tbe atate. The Traill coLnty W. C. T. U. baa prepared an appeal to the votera of the atate asking them to vote against Mr. Halland. The appeal states tbat the requeet is based on the charges of immorality against the state superinten dent. They consider the sffidavits ns conclusive evidence of tbe immorality in question.

I feel justified in saying tbat Mr. Falley is too much of a gentlemam and too good an official to resort to measures that would in any way curtail or embar rass any citizen or citizens associated aa a political party from an opportunity to exsroise his or their elective franchise, or to force tbem to resort to judicial pro cedure to obtain their legal righ^e."

The Fargo Forum says, editorially, tbat "there is a systematic effort on tbe part of tbe resubmissionists to capture the ooming legislature.
