The most frightful aceounts reach here regarding the extent of the suf- fering caused by the famine, which is asserted to be more terrible than that of 1891, and as both bovine and human typhus have broken out in all the famine-stricken districts, dis- eases mainly due to the character of the food to which man and beast are reduced, another fierce epidemic of cholera may be expected.

Peters, a soldier of the First Nebraska in the Philippines, writes to a Chicago paper: “What do we think of? How do we feel?

The country over which the most of the fighting in Luzon is being waged is very rough, and is cut up into ridges by the numerous rice fields. To giye one an idea of the topography it will suffice to say that the rice fields are all terraces running around the num- erous small hills. These terraces are all about 100 fest wide and rise one above another, each one being a foot or eighteen inches higher than the one just belowit. Climbing and running up and down terraces with a haversack containing 250 rounds of Springfield ammunition slung across the shoulder and a belt of 50 rounds around the waist is not very enjoy- place “xog qOR_ uO <a J. 8.
