( BACK FROM TliC I'lllLIITlNES. Capt. Frank W. Greer, of Pacolet, ? Writes Interestingly of the People of the Island. MADE FRIENDS OF THE SEXORITAS."' i Mr. Editor:?At the close of my \ last letter we l ad reached ih benu , tiful pueblo (city) of Santa Cruz and 1 joined Gen. Schwab's brigade Santa Cruz m situated at the foot of Sao iVntotiia's Mountain (that is what we called it) hedged iu upon the right ami left hy coeoanut and banana , groves, and at its feet spread out a~s a beautiful silver sheet lay La guna de Lay (Bay of Luguua) dotied here and there with the small gunboats of our mo-qui o lleer, with the stars and stripes proudly floating uud flirting with the bieeze of the far East. This city is nearly laid off into well regulated business thoroughfares and avenues that are lined witn the magnificent royal palm trees that sheltered the foot sore, weary soldier from the scorching rays of the tropical sun, and seemed to him, as he sat under them and looked around about, as a glimpse of some romantic flpot that he had in days gono by read of in books of fiction. The beautful quaintly-built mahog any, camphor-wood and bamboo houses, buiit after the style of architect used in sunny 8pain, were here to be seen and appreciated, with their nrtistic band carvings and rich hues of paint. In the centre of the ci'y sat the massive moss grown stone Iglesia (ehurch) with a tower of stone covered with a tile roof and having inside of it three largo brass bells that sounded for prayers three times a day. Go on tho inside of this church and one would sec only the naked tile or stone floor from the door to the altar, for they have no seats to sit upon during the services, which are held here every I)utningo (Sunday.) but they do not stand, they squat down and remain in such a position for an hour at a time. Santa Cruz do Laguna was once the home of the Spanish provincial Governor, whose beautiful residence and palace are situated in the Western portion of the city, which was occupied by Gen. Schwan and used as iiis headquarters. We remained at Santa Cruz for almost a week, using mahogany and bamboo houses for quarters, sleeping upon the floor and cooking in the yards our "sow belly" and "canned horse," of which we 'made tho uiost delicious meals one would wish to : encounter. On the morning of Jan uary 80th the 42nd was ordered to proceed to Colomba, a distance of some 30 miles. Wo had gone very slowly from Santa Cruz in the direc tioa of CQlaioba w hen we atoppod for our mid-day meal at noon beside the banks of a cool lo >king stream sx miles from Santa Cruz. While wo were busv preparing our meal we icardthe fast gallop of an American ior.se which in a few sec xids caulnto view with a courier fr-an lien.

We at irehed from Aniuiinosto San Pablo from there to Sau Toma?, where ?e tapped just long enough to eat a few ilices of bacon and a couple of hardbacks and get a swallow or so of muddy river water, when off wo went with ihe awing of veteran hikers to Colomha. through dust that was ankle deep and a portion of this insurectoriufested country that only had one water course. Mile afer mile we marched, hoping against hope, tha we would soon get to water from the lack of which men were fast becoming i finished. At last we saw the steeple ; on the the church of Co'omba and with renewed tnergy wc stepped with a fast, determined step toward this citv. Manv of us were sick, faintiug * ? . almost, as we dragged ourselves into this place where we thought we would stay, but alas! we wero doomed for a yet harder lot. We rested for about an hour and then marched to the shore of the bay where we were put aboard of cascoes (covered boats), each company occupying one cnscoe which was so small that wc had tosh or lay upon one another for twenty four hours at which time we had reached again Santa Cruz, where we disembarked and march* d to headquarters, resting about an hour and then proceeding to the mountains where we lay down upon the ground that night about 12 o'clock and slept till day break when we again started upon the hike for Pacta, reaching this place about 12 o'clock of the 3id day of February. We garrisoned Pacta with three other companies of our regiment until about the 25th of February. G. and 0. companies went to the town of Pagsanham. Wtiile we were quartered in Pacta we went upon daily hikes around in the mountains arid every time, with but ? few exceptions, we had a "scrap." On the 5th of February we had the miaforunc to have our Captain severely wounded in the right shoulder. Captain Edmund Duliois hailed from the State of New Jersey and was an exemplary C< mpanv Commander, aid the wounding of him was a hard blow to our company, "F." lie wns sent to Manila and thence to 'Frisco for treatment and offered his discharge, but refused to accept it and begged the War Department to return him to his "boys," as he called his company, which was done in the following November.
