The headquartors (A my regiment, the Forty-socond in antry, U. S. V., have always been in Northern Luzon, but I have been sat-ioned in South ern Luzon wit.h a detachment of my regiment most of tho timo. I first saw active duty in t'e field January 20th when, as the only medical ofii. cer, I accompanied the six compa nies composing Lient. Col. Beacom's expedition into Southern Luzon. This expedition wits sent out for the purpose of hea1ing off the insurgents who were being driven to the north by Gen. Schwan's column. This command did somio veny officient work. Col. Beacon was afterwards placed in command of all the troops on the western coast of Laguna do Bay. Wo had numerous skirmishes and one engagement with the insur gents. "The Fillipinos in this section of the island are an indiustrious and in telligent class of people. Thero is a considerable proportion of the mn habitants of the Philippines who are nothing more than semi-savages. Their chief food is rico, and for that matter all the inhabitants of the far east subsist almost entirely on rice. Sugar, tobacco and rice are the chief prodlucts of those ishmnds. "'The fighting thae now is chiefly guerilla warfare and may last indefi nitely. A settlement of some kind should be made with them. After the presidential e'!etionl I think a settlement can be made. I believe that a Democratic administration can make a quicker andl more satis factory settlement because the Fih-. pines have more eninfidence in the Democrats than in the Republicans. "The military government had for several months before the arrival of the commission been making an ef fort to establish civ'l government in all the towns ocoupied by American troops, bat the establishment of civil government has been fonnd to be very difficult. 1It hs been hard to find intelligent a.Adies who would serve as presidonts of the towins and cities and when a ca1pable man has been persuaded to t'rvo he has fre quently proved to be in league with the insurgents. "A 'short time before I left I was talking with an int"lligent and edu cated native of Malafon andl I asked her if there were many inasnrrectos in Malabos and she ropiiod that they wvere all insurractos. From my knowledge of the Fillipinos I think tbat she made as fair a statement not only as to Malabon but as to the Philippines as I have ever hoard. "I am very glad to hay, visited these islands and to have served in the United Statos army but Imly health was not good in that climatoe t-3 U1 andi my family noodo4 imly prosence; therefore I have resigned. My health has improved greatly since reaching iho United States. I wouldt not caro to make my home in the bi Philippines.

In this bt caso nothing so horrible as a proma- w< turo burial occurred, but thoro was lei i probability that it would, but th which was fortunately avoidled. A faiily of white people, living oil th Arsenal hill, went through an uInus- b nal expericico last night. One of d the children had been ill for two hi wooks.

Cot- tb ton Can't be Gathered. X Atlanta, Aug. 24.-Secretary of State Cook has received a number of letters from South Georgia dur- W ing the past week, from the' farmers of that section, reporting negro labor very scarco. Cotton is open- - ing rapidly and few negroes can beB found to pick it, even at 50 cents hi per 100 pounds.ti The cotton crop will be much shorter than reported, unless labor can be fona to pick it. As it is the crop in South Georgia has been t damaged materially recently. The rust has spread over the big cotton c fields and is causing many of theo bolls to drop off. The~ negroes have left the farms and gone to work for the railroads, lumber camps and turpetine farms. There they get i better wages than the farmers are t able to pay and nothing will induce thi them to return. They are paying 'to and 50 cents per hundred pounds s to cotton picker5, and although the averago negro can pick from 200 to e 300 pounds of cotton a day they will c' not work. p4 tih MADEl4 HIM E~AI EVER1Y KEAN. a Stranger P'ulled a Gunn on Hotel Omuet wno idi Nod LIke Themi. o{ SAPaul, Mnn, Aug. 24.- Georget Phalon, a guost at tlae Omaha hotel, ordered a dish of laaa When ti ey . wvere brought he did not like them tc and told the waiter to take them 0c away.
