I expect to make an expedition north before I leave the Philippines, when I shall be able to give a fuller detail of its mineral resources. The Valley North of Manila. I wish I could show you the rich valley which extends all along both sides of the railroad from Manila to the Guif of Lin- gayen. It is a vast flat rice field from thirty to fifty miles wide and more than one hundred miles jong. Here and there is a little patch of corn, and above Calumpit some few plantations of pale green sugar eane, but the rest is all rice, rice, rice. There are few fences. I saw none except some about the cane fields. You can look over miles of level fields now gray with the harvested rice, but green where the vege- tation is sprouting up through the cut off stalks, Near the railroad at least there is no fr- rigation. The fields are very small and each is surrounded by a little mud grass- grown wall to keep in the water, but the water comes from the floods of the rainy season, when it rains for days and days, sometimes dropping the water almost in streams. I am told that the rainfall in parts of the valley is as much as eight feet in a year, so that if all the water was held In it would almost cover the head of the average Filipino standing upon the shoulders of one of his brothers. Now everything is comparatively dry. The walls about the fields are usually LUZON. RES ‘THAT MAKB THEM At INVEST. FER WILL BEAR IN. BY BARGAIN HUNTERS. now has his headquarters.

CLARK, 006 F n.w. east, a distance of at least 250 miles fur- ther. From this you may get some idea of the great size of Luzon. If a railroad were to be built from its southernmost point to the extreme north it would be longer than the distance between New York city and Pittsburg. The biggest part of the island is north of Manila, where it is on the average over 100 miles wide and longer than from New York to Washington. Tt has an area fully as great as that of the state of Ohio, and an enormous amount of good land.

You see the remains of intrenchments at every few miles, and in some places the fortifications thrown up; dy our soldiers be- hind which they lay and shot at the enemy. The railroad belongs to an English syndi- cate, which will undoubtedly: attempt to make the Americans pa¥ heaftily for their use of the road. It is @/ question whether anything should be paid, for the road, I am told, was op2rated by ‘Filipinos, and the Filipino employes of the company were the men who did the most damage to the rail- road, its depots and rolling stack. The railroad is 120 miles long. It goes through a country as flat as a floor and its construction must have been comparatively easy and cheap. It has fifty-six-pound rails, a gaug2 of forty inches and rolling stock from England. The cars have been repainted and labeled with the brand of the United States government. They are old, box-like affairs, uncomfort- able to an extrem. There is first, second and third class, the first not being bettter than that of our immigrant cars. The roadbed is, I should judge, not over three feet above the surrounding country, and it Seems to b> enough to preserve it from the floods of the rainy season. This railroad has been in operation for about eight years. It was originally built ‘on a guarantee of eight per cent from the Spanish government. But the first co¥- tractors failed and those who followed claim3d they had to pay so much to the government in the way of bribery that they could make no money. The original capital was to be less than $5,090,000, but the road is now bonded up to the neck, and what will be done with it when peace perman2nt- ly comes is not known. It should be a very valuable property, for it runs through one of the richest parts of the islands and must have in the neighborhood of 5,000 square miles of ric2 and sugar lands along the track. It bas also other territory which it taps, connecting the northern part of the island with Manila. Our Soldiers Run the Road. At present the road 1s run entirely by the soldiers. They are the brakemen and the engineers, the mail clerks and the sta- tion men. Every train has guards in uni- form upon it, and at every station there is a company or so ready to defend any at- tack. Now and then some one shoots at the cars as they go flying along. We had one such shot on the way to Panique, but no one was hurt. Until recently none but soldiers were allowed to travel on the road without a pass, but {it will soon be open to both passengers and freight of all kinds, and it may be that it will be handed back to its owners in a short time. Panique. Panique is a typical country village. At least it Is typical of this part of Luzon. Nearly every section of these islands has peculiarities of its own. The @lalects are so different that it is said that the common people of southern Luzon are unable to make themse!ves understood in the north. At the sume time, the Tagalo and Spanish are enough to enable one to trade any- where. The common people are not tray: elers. The ordinary man does not know any- thing about the country ten or fifteen miles beyond him. Not long ago a priest was sked if there were not some men in his iMuge who could guide one of the regi- ments over the mountains. He replied that he supposed there was not a man in the town who had ever been to the raountains. Only the fewest of the Filipinos of northern Luzon e visited Manila, and as a rule the average man seldom goes five miles away from home. Outside the savage regions the houses of the people are much the same everywhere. Svery village has a plaza or open space in the center with the church, the govern- ment offices and some of the best houses facing it.

The little bundles are stacked up about the hut or placed, with their heads downward, on the ground inside an Inclgsure to dry.

CARPENTER. ss PENDING PENSION LEGISLATION. Commissioner Evans Expresses His Views to the Union Veteran Legion. Some days ago the Union Veteran Legion of Pittsburg sent to Commissionér H. Clay Evans of the pension office, as well as to the chairmen of both pension committees of Congress, copies of a resolution passed at a recent meeting of the Legion denounc- ing the bills for the reltef of deserters and beunty jumpers. Commissioner Evans an- swered the kindly expressed letter accom- panying the resolution, and said: “A glance at the many bills that have been introduced in Congress Which have for their object the removal of charges of desertion and the granting of pen- sfons to those who now have no legal status will convince you that a_per- sistent and organized effort is being made to secure special legislation for the relief of individuals, as wel? as general legislation, which will operate to place upon the pension rolls the names of many. of those who are now barred therefrom by | E 15 poeson of dishonorable discharge or deser- ion. “In addition to the above, numerous bills have been tntroduced and are being pushed in Congress for the purpose of granting pensions to teamsters, telegraph operators, employes of military railroads, employes of the life-saving service and others whose service was rendered as civil em- Ployes and who were never connected with the army or navy. These men were paid good wages while so cmployed, ard to Place them on the pension rolis alongside of the veterans who composed the ranks of the organization which you represent would be an act of injustice. “One of the first bills introduced in the Present Congress was to grant an honor- able discharge to all soldiers who were at any time in the service of the United States, and who have, for more than thirty years, been held to be ineligible for such dis- charge. The number of deserters at large at the close of the civil war is estimated at 117,247. Under the operations of this puattonorable discharges would be granted to all.” + 0+ _ = AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today. Thomas J.
