houses but the greater part 0 of this was oon hoon stopped by the guards FEEBLE resistance the spanish did not resist to any extent giving up their arms and these are now stacked up at headquarters there are now flow iou sanda sands 0 of fine mauser blauser rifles and great quantities quan titles 0 of ammunition in the hands of oc the americans atter after giving up their arms the spaniards were allowed to go all over the city but they kept together pretty well for fear car of the natives the th prisoners seem to take the result bood e natu and have created no disturbance as yet the americans wander about among them at will many of them appear pleased that the end has arrived CONFUSION PREVAILS everything throughout the city is in contusion confusion as yet and there Is a great work to be performed yet before the elie city Is restored the citizens say that food was not as scarce as reported and there seemed to be no shortage of 0 anything large quantities of german canned goods were found which shows that the germans have been doing a good business here herc the insurgent army was not allow allowed c d to enter the city and natives caught carrying away s tuff stuff were stopped they are greatly disgusted at not being allowed to loot the place and in many quarters it Is 13 expected that there will be trouble with the insurgents before this country is pacified they are arc not oa as friendly as when the troops first landed and are distrustful of the soldiers preparations on tho the evening before the battle the captains of the utah batteries were notified that tho the bombai bombardment dment would take place the next morning only one halt half the men went to the front the remainder in camp as a reserve long before daylight the men were up petting getting ready to

groups of soldiers are constantly to be seen all over the cley city As soon as the city capitulated tho the soldiers swarmed through Us its sire streets c IS an and d from rom that time on there has been no tr trouble between the soldiers sol diera and the citizens or with the conquered soldiers of spain THE SPANISH CAPTIVES are kept inside tho the walled portion of the city they are now fed by tho the united states government there aro are a few among them who he appear to feel badly over their defeat but the greater number of them seem to welcome the presence of tho the americans for the first time lime tor for many months month they aro are free from almost constant fighting u with till the insurgents and the consequent dis cus comforts of campaigning in a wet and lot hot country they ore are fed better although there apparently was no great shortage of food when the city fell WELL GUARDED the invaders aro are quartered al all n ov over or ill the cit city in all it the government buildings il t there r aro are soldiers the streets and public places aro are guarded and sentinels are stationed at intervals along alone each street their duties are about tho the same as ordinary policemen at home except those on streets lending leading into the city these sentinels stop and search all vehicles and allow no armed persons to pass the oregon regiment Is stationed inside tho the walled nailed town they haie hae six gates to bruard bo be 6 idea the gates there are the arsenal treasury and other government build i ings to guard be besides ables this the prisoners are under t their heir care TROUBLE EXPECTED on all sides there Is a feeling that there will mill be plenty of 0 trouble with mith the natives they have been fighting tor for a long ions time to obtain tw two 0 thino things first their liberty and second the possession of the city of 0 manila they aro are sore over the fact that they were not allowed allotted to to take ice posse possession aslon ot of the city and loot and plunder to their hearts content the city would undoubtedly have been a rich prize tor for them but they are only permitted to nice enter as peaceable citizens they are still in possession of the water supply but they will undoubtedly be mado made to glie gle up poe possession session in at short time lime should trouble with them ensue they would doubtless be able to make a a hard fight tile the country even near the city of manila Is a hard one to fight in but would be rid mirable tor for a warfare each little appl put a t reir ot ground f frequently at less lees than an a acre c in extent Is surrounded our ded bya by a ditch and a hedge of 0 till tall bamboos and other plants except in the paths it Is impossible to go through these hedges the roads aro are crooked and hedges line each side everywhere aref ara swamps and rice I 1 fields I 1 TIRED 0 OF r BARRACK 11 LIFE I 1 tho the utah b boyi iaac ice been 1 in their barracks barrack but it a d sw or two tio yet they are arc already tired olt of the life A fight of any kind would be welcomed and as 18 long as there Is no prospect of one the life Is extremely irksome there are arc many opinions as to the length of 0 time that will mill elapse before the boas s aiala set their faces toward home the general impression Is 13 that but a few months will ill expire before the volunteer solder v hlll ill return to peaceful pursuits tho the life of a soldier here Is not all rase and enjoyment at camp dewey the mosquitoes were not troublesome leso me but lit in the city it Is different our harracks barracks are located near a small liver and at night swarms of insects insect invade hie elie place and make ufa life miserable the mosquito mos quilo bar for or tho the usa or of the boys Is stored at ca calac ite and thero there hai ha been but little sleep since tho the day of tho the fight HEALTH GOOD tho the general health ot of the utah boys Is good there are but few iho w lio are arc not hearty and voll veil one or to of tho the men have not been well since arriving vine here and it Is probable that an effort will he bo made to have them discharged ge d on account of disability outside 0 ot f this these few exceptions there theio are not likely to lie be any serious results to the men the troops who have been associated closely with the th utah boys say ray of thum them that you cant kill 1111 any of those utah boys without an ax HARD WORK WORIC when the campaign was on before the city there was a great lent deal of work and hardship tor for the boys an all the goods and chattels of men besides the guns coisson caisson and battery wagon had liefl to be ba moved by hand the food find and camp had to bo be hauled on the limber trucks the roads were bad on the whole the utah boys have accomplished a great work and have won great from all sources the officers in corn command mand all have a good word for utah and her representatives here CAPTAIN YOUNG in speaking of the that were met and overcome said that the hardest tasks of civil life will appear easy after tills this capt young Is 13 undoubtedly it a cool officer when nhen I 1 in action oa as well as having great ability 7 in organizing and equipping his troops during t the he bom bai diment battery A had one of its guns on the west side |
