I hate gained ten pounds nee leaving San Francisco. I received two letters yesterday: one 4ated 3pt«mber 2tth. and the other the 29th, and they ere fcoth addressed to San Francisco, but re- ived them all O. K. Wben last I wrote to you. I was about to land Manila, but that nijrht, the '24th of October, we jeived orders not to land, hutto goto the Island Panay. about five hundred mileJL south -of [anila. and. sis we started the next day. 1 did it get a chance to see Manila except from the piuQi the transport. \ft took' us two days and a night to get to Iloilo, he largest city on the Island of Panay, and on mh and 29th of October we disembarked. -WBB rawing likia thw dfinne when o?^r JhartAJ^ s were marched twoand a half miles through >ilo to our present position in Jaro. Jaro is a native village that was captured by ;he 28th Inf. on March I5th, 1899, and which has aeen held by them ever aince. Our regiment is quartered hi the deserted na- tive houses. The one the hospital is in is the finest in town and was once the Queen's Palace. Th§ innide of tbe \living floor,\ df \\second story, -fthe first, or grrouad floor ,_being used for stables) tils are all in panels so that they can be shoved back, and that leaves the whole floor open, so It always cool in the building. These panels are 1 closed at night, as the nights here are very >ld. The trenches of the natives are almost all the ty around Jaro and our out-posts are not_ taore than halt* mile from the hospital. Every night the natives fire upon our pickets, and it is no new experience to have the bullets whistle \over the^building. The queer thiag about it is that aels ever hit. I went out to the \Sugar Mill\ Post after s«p- «r last night and I could see the hat would not be a bad place to get a aew suit of clothes. Earl remembered the suggestion so inadvertently given, and ook advantage of it when the first op- lort unity offered. A Busy Day for Commissioner * On Thursday, Dec 28th, 7TB&&, no Ie«« raurg^Cninese tsases were brought be- ! ore IT. S. Commissioner N. H. Munsiil tor bearing. The government was repre- around in theirtrencfies; and every few minutes I could/see a puff of smoke, and \zipp-pingr' a ballet would strike in the oocoanut palms over my head. Speaking of the eocoannts mates me think of the fruit here. Bananas and cocoanats grow wild here in great abundance, and we have all the fruit we can eat continually on our table. And such fruit! The froit you get in the States mt to be compared with what we get here. Too probably wonder why I do not say some- thing about the native dress. The reason is that there isn't anything to say anything about. They wear only a breeeh-eloth, and- some don't wear that much. You hear lots about \beauty unadorned.\ but, excuse me/ It seems very repulsive tome. Well, I shall have to stop writing now. Don't worry about me, as I am all O.

G. ihufelt'and Deputy Mar$bal€L WlEeteh- im, of Malone,and Deputy Collector T. F. Dwyer, of Plattsbnrgh. The defendants were represented by Fuller C.-\Smitb r of St. Albass, Vt., and R. M. Moore, of Ma- lone. Dr. Moy, of New York City, acted interpreter. There are 23 Chinamen in Jail awaiting trial. Tea of these a short time ago came across tbe line, making no application at tbe custom Louse for ad- mission. The officials here-caused their detention and they were placed in jail for safe keeping. Meanwhile, Attorney Moore obtained a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Beman and they were brought up before him to inquire into the cause of their detention. The cases have been ad- journed several times and finally by mutual consent the writ was withdrawn. Meantime warrants had been obtained o U. S. Commissioner N. H. Munsill an< they were all arrested thereunder. Sonn of these hearings were had Dec. 28fch. Most of these cases are* where the de- fendants are boys ,Eanging from thirteei up to twenty years of age. They claim t< B..been.bo^Jn_th^.Uaited_^ta^_anc entitled to 1*11 the rights of* citizen ship. The father of the boy appears an< swears that the youngster v#as born ii San Francisco several years ago and re turned to China with bis mother and not seeks admission to this country. Tht government is put to its wit's end to meet this class ef proof and is forced to rely, to some extent, at least, upon the weakness of the defendant's case. There are, it is stated, about a hundred similar cases awaiting adjudication at Builtegton, Yt., alone. All the c before Commisgionej Munsili were adjourned till Jan. 9th, 1900 Death of Dr. H. The announcement of the death of Dr. Gearing, of Chateaugay Lake, on Satur- day, shocked bis many friends in this village. Dr. Gebring was ia tbe prime of Hie aad physical strength and ia the joyment of a large practice in that section of tbe county. He was a companionable man of ability in bis profession, and very popular wherever known. In** politics he was aa ardent Republican, aad bad often represented tbe town of Bellmont as delegate at county conventions. . It appear!! tbe doctor was called on Sun- day, Deo. 23rd, to see a patient suffering with an abseeas, which be found necessary to lance. A few day* later be was in Malone and complained of a sore finger on which there was a small hangnail, wftb which the poisoned blood of the abseeas must have come in contact. Tbe doctor thought lightly of it, and in fact never mistrusted blood poisoning. On Friday last be was much worm and physi- cians from Cbateaugay were called. It was decided on Saturday to take him to Montreal and nave bis arm amputated. While being dressed the poison suddenly went to hie brain and be expired almost immediately. His untimely death will be mourned, not only by his immediate fam fly aad friends, but by tbe community where, for tbe past few years he has worked uunaggingly in relieving disease aad suffering. Tbe doctor was 40 years of age. He leaves a wife and one chili surviving. Rev. Timothy Holland, of Moira,brothei of Rev. M. W. Holland, pastor of Stf Pat rick's ebureb, at Port Henry, aad \K. D.

Ti*e TWenty-seventh Separate fo, Scores a Pronounced Success. —~Of aH—the receptions given -by our military company in the past ten years no prettier or more enjoyable one ever occurred than that of last Tuesday even- ing. The party was not as large as it has been on some occasions, but it was more dressy and more congenial, and everything about it was strictly up to date. _J?he.jarrani?ement«^ thanks to_t he efficient committee having them in charge, rere perfect, every attention was gives to guests and everything went tike clock rork. The big drill hall in its novel decora tions never presented a more inviting ap pearance. Over the southern balcony, hich • was occupied by the orchestra, hung an immense Japanese parasol with drapes of colors extending from its edges around tbe musicians, like an immens inverted vari colored tulip. Over all the windows on both sides and along the back if the recess under the southern balcony were deer faeajis, while between the win- dows^ weTe paifff ot^now^shoes. The deei heads and snow-shoes took the\ place X) the usual decorations In arms. Withii the recess were divans, tables, rugs and banquet lamps, and here was served cocoa with wafers to the dancers. There was also a table with lemon ice and lemonade in one corner of the room. The concert given by the Howard Opera House Orchestra, of Burlington, wt superb. It has not been outclassed-by any orchestra on a similar occasion since tbe Germania was here, and for dancin all were more than pleased with time an movement. T£e lunch at 11 and 1% com prised sandwiches, coffee, ice-cream an cake and was nicely served by Uaterei Smith, assisted by members of tbe Com- pany in fatigue uniforms. The stance was patronized by 50 or 60 couples and the balcony contained a good audience spectators. The concert program com prised six choice selections, as follows:— 1.
