The dlaaHtroua reaulta of almilar lntor

intorcata, in Mr, iltill'a bill of laat aprlni;,
ought auroly to toach tho promotorn of thu

with war needs iuiperative, a aonaiblo
projuct for puttliif; tho rcRiilnr nrmy on a
hlgh plaue ef atrungth and cflloloucy was
opposed aa not givlag thu Stato militia

that when tho I'robldent ma.de hia Ilrat call

for organlzd Stato mlllt'n forcca. But )
we all know thu reMiltn of taking for for

lea otiRlnally formed for aervlco at hotne.
Tho Stato trooju weru feartully handl
cappod by their lRuoranco of campali;ninc.
Tho nieu who interforod with the Ilrat
atmy bill of tbo latt sesslou had their way,
bnt at a great coat to tho cotintry, aud to
thu State troops whoso interests they were
ao eager to fostor.
One of tho atatcd causcs of Iho in
ttllcicncy of tho artny in tho lato opor
ationa was tho largo numbcr of op
polntuicnla from civil lifo into the
ranka of commiasiontd tfllccra. What
thc llull bill will bo ia not yel dcOtiitc
ly known, nnd what action Congress
will finally tako to provido an army
that will adtquatcly mcet tho rcquirc
mcnla of iflicient milltaty servico is
still moro a matter of conjccture.
No eooncr had tho prttocol tbecn
Bigned than tho Prcaident and war
department wcro imporluncd, by overy
Stato in tho Union, to mustcr out its
trcops. Vermont waa forcmosl in prc
eenting its appoal at Washington. Its
troops weroiu no condition, tuorally or
phyeica.ly, for activo military aorvicc.
Thero wcro loud protests against doiug
gnrrison duty. This waa tho condition
of the volunteers generally. Thty
wanted togct bnck to their homce and
knvo tho eervice, though hostilitiea
were only Buependtd, not permunently
atancnd. Now that, in viow of the
txporicnces in thc !ate war, it ia pro
pobed, as a raatlor absolutcly nece8aary
for tlio military protictiou of tho coun

The subject ia one of many diflicult-

The aoldlorH liavo all been pild, aml as a

that lt is aluioat linposslblo to gal through.
The Hun Is too hot In the dnytlui'', so aa a
rulo no one is out ttnlona obllgod to tie, ex
eopt tho natlven and Clilnniiiiin. Howover,
ororytliltiR Is qutto ordbily, tho most dls
turbanco bulug croated by our own men,
who ate all very thtrsty, for we fet no
water thnt la (lt elthor for drlnk or any
other purtioso.
The aoila water buslnusa la the chlef ln

oin bo aald of the articlo la, that it la wet.
Nothlng can bo had to drlnk that ia cool. A
amall bottle of beer costs 40 centa. A larger
one,hutyet amall, costa 80 centa, ao jou
can seo what difllculttea ono who la thlrs'y
has to contntid with. A cood nioal la un
obtalnable, and ln fact temis to be an nn
knowu ip antlty. Hut as we are wotl fed ln
our own quartcra we have nothlng to com
plaln about.
I took a trip over to Cavito laat week and
Baw the work of Dewpy'a sliolls ln the old
town, also the churohnH thnt were wrcoked
by the inaurRcuts. NothluK retnaina that
could bo rouioved. The walla are hroken.
Kloora aro torn up, (rravea aro dtic up and
the bonoM tcattofed about in order to flnd
troaaures that were auppbBud to he there.
Thla was all dono beforo the arrival of our
anny, ultlioURh H haa tiecn charged to tho
aoldlorB, Tho navy jard there is not vory

worked to its full capaolty rcpalrltiR nnall

soldler la allowed on the atreeta after ten
o'clock at nlnht without a pass. Ad othera

both fore antl aft, nro crotevquH ccrolla and
llgurea in the most btilliant colora imagln
able. Tlie natives, wlille not encumbred with
too niuch hraln, havo liueu oppresaeil by
tho church, aml, as a rulo, are Ignorant,
Biivo for wliat they have beou taURht ln tho
church, and are always exceeditigly dirty.
They make very little money and have been
eouipBlled by couutless means and moas
urea to turn over their small earninga to
the church or bo aent to prlson. Of courae
there are ezceptlona to this denae lgnor
ance in the peraous of those who have had
unusual opportunlties to becmne educated,
but theao are rare exceptioua. Their Ignor
auce la not of their own volltlon, nor ls it
duo to lack of abillty, but to tho want of
oppoitunity. I doubt their capacity for aa
hlgh an educatlon as a white man, hut they
could far oatreach our own negro race.
They come to Work in acanty, but usually
clean llnen, and carry their dinuer of rlce
wrapped in a bmana leaf, and at nooa
tltne they all tquat upon the ground in
groupa and eat with their flugera. They
hang around the acldlera at mealtime Ilke a
packof doga, and flght for any food that
may be offercd lliem. From what I can
Iearn, the natlvea livlng in the mountalns
are quito harbarous. The Spanish popula
tlon aeema to be veiytiuall, and Spanlah
women are very aeldom aten on the atreot.
There are many Ohlntse, and they aro
most y ahcp keepera. They have their lit
tle atorea about fifteen by ten feet equaro.
One of theao storea must aupport no leas
than tivo Celeatlals, and the doors and wln
dowa to those little closets are barred and
bolted to the eztent that would lead one to
belleve that thoy contalned prlceleas val

Iarge aa aaucera, ia an exceptlou.
The water biffalo ia usetl very much in
place of the ox. Tho mllk of tho female ia

aa beef. The natlve American cow cannot
llvo hero. The horsea are very small and
hardy, aud for one dollar you can hire a
back and dtlver for an entlre day, but at
the aauie timo I cannot recommend tho Hv
ery. The doga in number and repulaivc
neaa would put the Constautlnople canlnea

Ilwve just rtcelved the flrst leiter from

moulhs aud threo daja. I have received
also llvo bundlos of papers, the rlrnt newa
of what ia golug ou in the Statos aince
leivlug Ilonolulu. The uewepaper ac
counta of the di plorable condition ln the
hospltala apply here as elsowhere, although
us long as a soldler hero ia ln go: d health
he has nuthing else to complain of, for the
food ls good. The engineors have little to
do at proseut, but the Infantry aro worked
very hard ou fntigne duty. Tho clothlng
hupply ia very detlclent. I have no shoea.
One pair of duck trousers, a blne blouao
that ia hoavy enough for a winterday ln the
Stato?, and a canipaign hat are all I havo
received here, alttiough I havo slgned re
ceipta for moro clothlng than I could poa
albly take care of.
List week wo received ojta to aleep ou.
Belore, wo slept on the lloor or auywhere
we could. I had n anaged to get a caue
bed, which Is cooler aud moro comfortable.
1 The weather is a little cooler than when wo
Ilrat came here. There ls moro orless wlnu
all the liine. Iialna are fnquent but of
aliort duratluu. and usualiy In the uight
timo.
I vislted an old fort west of tlie clty (near
the shoro Itue of tlio hatbot) that waa on the
extrcme rlght of tho Spauish entrench
menta, aud whero the hatdest nghting waa
done by the Spanlards. Here most of tho
Sp.iulards were kllled by Dawoy'a well
directcd flre. Tho tnarks on Iho wnlls show
how accurate waa the altn.
Thla fort waa huilt in tlie stventeentU
century, and is whero the Spauish llne flrst
hroke, and where tho Stats and Strlpia
flrst tloated over the eity of Mauila.
Tho rotuud leglslativo reporter of tho
Free 1'ress allowa an accumtilatiou of
grenu-oytd professional jnalousy to corrode
his good Heuae when he bewalls the fact
that the Uailv Jouhnai. has snoken well of
Hitvorul deserving uiumhers of tlie llouso.
The bilo of tho Free Prei$ camea from the
fact that ln tho Oaiuy Jouunai. that aheet
has durlng the sesalun fouud a most formld
nule and succestful cimpetltor. The suc
cess of this p tper in the field which it haa
ao wotl covored has seriouslv iuterfered
with the roveuuea of the Free Preis, which
haa come to bo of at leas aecondary im
