James J. Butler, a member of the First Washington Regiment row in Manila, writes to M. Loali of this citv as follows: Our company went out oa cuipo?t duty the night of February 4th near blockhouse No. 11. We arrived there at about 7 o'clock and spread our blankets for the night. About 9:15 we heard shots near blockhouse No. 2 on our left. About 2 o'clock they com menced firing at us", but we did not fire a shot until daylight. About 10 o'clock five companies came out and took their places on the firing line with us On the right, about two hundred yards in front of us, was a creek waist leep. On the opposite side the natives had a strong breastwork At and The daylight we commenced to shjot, I tell you it was something awful. bullets flew thick and fast over and around us. After firing about half an hour we commenced to advance. We had no breastworks to get behind. The best wre could do was to lie flat on. the breastworks. Nearly all the boys dipped their guns in the water to cxl them off. Soon after we started on the move again. We drove those fellows clear up to the Pasig river, where a number of them tried to swim across and were drowned. Companies 1 and G had a hard fight also during this time. They went through rice fields and charged a small hill where t.he natfves had a stroner breastwork. Here is where they killed over eighty men in one place. We went over , an open field of 800 yards and through the (woods to the river. Companies I and G captured the field piece while they were throwing shells at us. The First Washington, togeth er with the California and Idaho regi ments, belong to Gen. King's brigade. At the Santa Ana headquarters of the Filipinos we found over 5000 knives. We went into the trenches at San Pedro and stayed there for some time, naving a small fight every dav until the Regulars arrived. We then moved to Guadaloupe, but the natives didn't stay long enough to give us'a fight. We are now near Manila and shall move into the city soon. Stamps and paper are scarce. This naner I fnnnri n a hut before we burned it. LODGE LE PROG RES. Jewel for a Past blaster An Installation. There was a very large attendance last evening for the regular meeting of .Masonic JLocIge Le Progress. , ThereJ wer two events on' the program. Clarence M. White, past .master, was presented with a beautiful jewel of gold and enamel. The address was made by Senior Warden Geo. A. Davis. In his remarks Mr. Davis paid the highest tribute to the past master for services rendered. There was a hearty and unanimous second to eve"ry word of ap proval of the administration of Past Master White and his .work for the lodge. The installation ceremonies consist ed of the induction into office of Geo. Campton, the newly elected master, who is a veteran member of the lodge and whose fidelity to its interests are thus recognized. After the presentation of the jewel and the installation, refreshments were served and a number of toasts were of fered and responses given. Unsightly Awnings. Editor P. C. A In the interest of the improvement of New Honolulu I respectfully ask you to call the atten tion of your readers to the unsight liness of the permanent awnings of he city, lo the fact that they are danger ous to pedestrians and that they per mit the dangerous hanging signs, not now tolerated in any city of over 5,000 population. Let those who wish an ob ject lesson contrast the new Judd build ing, the Progress and Model blocks, the Spreckels and Wilder blocks with some other buildings on Fort street. The enterprising men of the lown should of th'eir own accord do away with the permanent awnings and the hanging signs. A BUILDER. Froin Ookala. W. G. Walker, manager of Ookala plantation, writes most encouragingly of affairs on that well known estate. He is, delighted over the news that a new mill is to be provided. Mr. Wal ker says that Ookala now has planted 250 acres more of cane than ever be fore in its history and that every field is looking well. There is plenty of water and the good results of proper fertilization are quite apparent. The local holders in Ookala are highly ela ted. Just now the stock certificates are being called in by Brewer & Co., for re-issue in $20 shares instead of $100. JAS. F. MORGAN HUH NH. 33 Queen Street. P. 0. Box 594. Telephone 72.
