Mind iuio Is'and, Philippine-, June 27. ?Companies M and H were amba?hed by thn insnrgents oa the morning vf June 14'h, 10 miles *outh of the town of Caga\ an, while through -i cmon in the mountain?. We were fi.ed a^on from j the top of eac'j hill where the insurgents were entrenched, a id the hills being too ste;p to charge we had to retreat back the way we case, leaving nine of our men killed and one wounded hi tbs hands of ihe insurgent?. There were nine Americans killed and eleven wounded, some being shot as many as three time?. We returned to Cagayau that afternoon and the following morning the iosnrgent leader sent in wo;d to Major Case that ibey had buried nine of owr men and had marked their graves ai.d bad one a prisoner, who was wounded through the foot. The oiie that they have a prisoner is a corporal in the tame company that I am. We have not near troops enough here on northern Mindanao and things will not oe qaited down nniil more are sent. The health of the soldiers ha? been very good so far in Mauila and all parts of ,K~ Philippines. I have uo doubt L-u tV.- these isauds are amoug the most healthful of all tropical countries, and for people who live well and take care of themselves there is but littie danger. Tbe^ heat is no geeator tbau that of the United Slates in the summer. The natives, however, have no health regulations, and a house to house visitation, which the sanitary officials have been making, shows that the city of Mauilt is io a very bad condition. The death rate i loof olr mrvnthc nF IftQQ OT4R I about 41 per 1,000, estimating the population at 300,000, or if estimated at 400.00O, about 31 per 1,000 These figures are said to be exceedingly high, liong Koa?, which is iu the same latitude as Manila and which has about the same climate, has a death rate only half as large, aud it is next door to China, with all the plagues e that that country so regularly produces. During the first ttiree month* of the year, however, there were a nnmKax ftf flosoe rtf lh>> hlftct dpAlh n!* bubonic plague in Manila. This plague broke out at several of the pons of Japan and (Jaina, and there ha? been a number of deaths from it itt Manila. The doctors here sa? that it is oltau communicited by rats, ami during the first part of the year they seni out an order that all rats were to be killed. It is charged th*t the Filipinos and the Chiuese would not cooperate with the health department iu this matter, because there are many among them who eat rats as food. ' " ?? l- ? J * O A MA A C 1 uave uea.ru iuat uncu iaio aic uifered for ?a!e as eatable articles in tbe cities of China and I have seen them for sale in tbe Chinese stores in Manila. The rats cornmanicatj the plague by coming iu contact cr by rnnma<; over the people. It is also carried by the fleas whica live on tbe rats and carry the disease to r t.e human -v. beiiiss wbose bodies may form their next feeding ground. So far nearly every one who has caught ibe black plagae here has died. The disease comes upon one without warning iu the shape of a fever which in a short time raises the temperature of the patient to 105 degrees and opward ; tbere is no chill, bot the patient his a severe headache and slnws signs of s:npor. After twelve hours the glands of the neck, the armpits or the groius begin to sweli, and soon becjine a3 large as hen eggs. Iu som* cases the patient voruits blood, and within a few hoars he die?. Some few recover, and if one can keep himself alive for six days after exposure he is probably safe. The plague kills rats as well a3 human beings. Tae doctors in Manila, I hear, hid considerable trouble in disposing of ibe bodie?. Th-'y first insisted tbat ail should be barned. but t ie Chinese aud Filippino3 made sach an oat cry over that (hit General Otis couuterm mde.i the order. It is said that 50 per cent of tbe people of the Pnilippines are sufferers from skin di?eas and from the amount of scratching I >ee going onljadge the figures are not overdrawn. Every second person you mftaf whether mAn. Wotna t or ch M jerk* bis clothes thi> wav and thit, apparently hunting for fl;as. Tne disease is largely CimeJ by eating fiab. wbicb forms the cbiel diet of tbe native Filipino. It briars about a fish eczema ia which tbe skin scales off, making the patient look at times not unlike a lepsr. Then there is the dobe itch, which iss) common that at least one third of the foreigners have had it. Tbis is supposed to be cansed by a parasite, which comes in the water in which Ibe clothes are cleansed by the Filipino washerwomen. It usually attacks the toes, the armpits and the parts of the body which perspire most profusely, causing a rash. It sets one almost craz?. but is easily cure.I and is not at all d'ingerou?. Toe most dangerous of all the skin diseases U of coarse the sraa'lpox, which has lately broken out in a number of places. It existed along the line of the railway in Luzon and at several ports, aud is said io be spreading in Panay and Cebn. Several officers of the army have had it, but a? yet it has not fho fnrpicrnprs Sinv extent. NUWVbWU buw w ? - ??^ The spring months are the most dangerous times of the year for this disease. The weather is hot and dry and the heat from noon until about 4 p. m. is often oppressive. One trouble about vaccinating both Filipinos and Chinese lies in their superstitious. Many of the Filipinos are fatalists; they think they are fated to die or get we'll, and if so vaccinatiou will not helpthsm. One belief is that cholera is brought by a black dog which rans through the streets with the disease following behind him. ?.'hey believe in charms and ia prayers as preventives of diseases, and tbe priest have encon: aged them ;.n thi?. Some years ago t-holer?. morba8 was common and some of the friars advised tbe people t ? pr.;v t ? St. Boque. Tbe disease kept * ., j..r !?.,ine time, bat when it stopped ;har -aint got !lie credit for if. The Filipinos have numerous 6hrines scattered over the coaatry which are supposed to be especially ho J v. One is at Ami Polo, not far fiom Manila., It is frequented by thousands of pilgrims in the month of May, and ir ib said that the village there relies almost < entirely upon ?nch pilgrim; for its iivinr. It is ii town of about 4.000 people There i"* a f:??n<?iH ?* in.? in the island of Cebu, t.ationis fe::own as thj Holy Child of Ceba.

Mr. Editor: As I have not seen anything in yonr columns toacbi' g on the reunion ot old veterans Greenwood, I thought I would give your readers a few dots. Comrade J. S. Chappell and myself had the honor of representing Camp Raines at that grind convention of ihe South Carolina division of U. C. V. On arriving Tuesday* eveniug in this beautiful and prosperous young city we found it crowded with ve erans and sons of veterans, sponsors ar.d maids of honor and visitors generally. By Wednesday eveuing thecro^d was estimate.! at from 5,000 to 7.000 There were 1,100 vet'raus and nearly -is many sons of veteran >, and 250 spon tors auu luejr uismi ui uuuoi tcgistered on the bo )k.s of the euteitaininent committee. Llere I will mcotiou tba> our old comrades a::d former townsmen, \VT. II. Kerr and N. A. Pe$y, held position* on tills important committee, and ihev did their work nobly. O.I tho anival of every train the committee on reception w*s there aoci took charge of the vet erans and escorted them to the Arragou Hotel, where the committee had its headqaarters. tiere the veterans were registered and sent to the homes assign jd them. Hero these big-hearted and ro/al peop'e greeted ns with a warm welcome; they opened their parlors, their halls and their bedooms and assured us that their nomes were onr homes while in their city, all without money a id without pri^e. Thev to!d us iha- .hev were uroud to nave u? with them in their home:?, the remnant ot the grand s: army that ever mirched to ha tie "Yon old solders are ours, ??ur ia h rs *re your fathers, our people are >??u- people, your God our God, every on is a true blue hero, a citizen <.f oiorUi'iiy, and we tl > ourselves honcr in honoring you." The first meeting of the reuniuu held in the court room ot the new ai.d magnificent court house at 10 o'clock Wednesday m >nmig. Toe decora? ione in the cjurt room were much admired and the decorating committee has cause to feel proud of ihiir w>rk.

On the stand were seated Gens C T. Walker, (Jarwile, Coi. Coward, Ool. Iredel Jones Adj. Gen. Holmes, Msj. J. W. lieed and others Thi delegates from the various camps were seated near the grandstand. Mayor DaPre, on behalf of the town, ex en?ied a m >st cordial welcome to tbe veterans. At the c>n elusion or tne mayor s speecn me oanu played cheers sbook the building and th'. flags waved vigorously. Captain Waller, commander of the local camp, aio?e and made au eloquent address of welcome before turn iug t&e body o*er to Gen. Walker. Here the eutrance of two old batile flags caused loud cheers. Gen. Walker then ar and responded to Captain Waller, making a fioe speech. The fi.st duty of tbe body always at reunions is to pay tribute to the Con federate dea.1. This is doue by repeating at the proper time indicated by the commander the word-*. "They died for their country." After tbis tribute is paid to the women of the South by repeating in the same manuer, "God bless th-i women of the Confeieracy." Gen. Walker then announced t bat be had received letters from Get'. Hampton and Comrade Geo. B. Lake stating that they both were too unwell to be with us in person hot their hearts were with us. Geo. B. Lake, of Edgefield, wa3 j blown up in the crater at Petersburg. < When coming down, yet many feet up i in the a'r, be met stveral going up and , cried on : "Rally, boys, as soon as , you tiit the ground."

O s entering thi* room hanging on the wall is se^n the great blue State flag that floated over Fort Moultrie daring the bombardment of Fort Sumter April 12-13, 1861.

There was one thing I failed to notice in pome of the speeches of candidates at Feas'.ervilJe, and ihst was their ii liculing of the poor drunkard. One of the candidates said he met up with a snan that was not walking straight, and in a talk on politics he declared himself for phohibuiun, which caused a little laugh.er. Suppose we look at the cause ot that mau's fix. Ii was caused not by (be political situaiion the man was wanting. i. e., prohibition, hot by a policy not wanti d by the people, but by the linnnr ond mnnpr Inverp. If fhp man coold not have gotten the liquor he conkl not have been drank, and he would Lave misted being made fun of by these same candidates that are against prohibiii )n.
