A letter describing conditions among the soldiers in a United States army camp of the Philippine Islands (Mindanao) has been recently received by an acquaintance of Dr. William O.

Still-man, president of the American Humane association, at Albany, and he haa obtained a copy for distribution. The writer is a chaplain, John T. Ax- ton, of tbe Eighteenth infantry, whose camp is pictured. His letter in part follows: "Camp Keitbley Is COO miles south of Manila, on the large Island of Min danao, in hostile Moro territory. Al though this region was nominally un der Spanish control for nearly 400 years, there are but two points at which the Spaniards- established per manent stations, and they are both on the seashore.

At no time did they suc ceed In subduing the natives or giving them an idea of a civilized form of government As you are perhaps aware, a sort of feudal system exists among these people. Each datto has his cotta, or fort, has slaves and a number of wives, according to his rrealth. Near the stronger posts the slave trade Is near ly broken now, and polygamy wiJI eventually be abolished. When not at war with the whites these dattos prey upon each other. Their religion is a perverted form of ohammedanlsm and is very hard to fathom.

We are stationed twenty miles in land. The. post Is reached by a moun tain trail, over which only heavily armed parties can travel in safety. A thousand men constitute our garrison, and, while some of the natives near the post are friendly, the general condition is such that men are not allowed out of the post except between and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and then special precaution Is taken for their safety. On post at night tbe sen tinels walk in pairs, one behind the other, to prevent being cut up by skulking Moros.

Two months ago 8,000 rounds were fired into the bar racks of a constabulary company about mile and a half from our home. It was at -10 o'clock, and we heard the shooting plainly. The Moros were driven off with but slight loss of life. All of the life of our men must be spent right in the post We have short dry season when it is fairly pleasant but most of the year It rata heavily every day, so that outdoor sports are not possible. There is abso lutely no assembling place in the post for these men.

There was an old straw building that I used for about two months. We had braced the walls with bamboo and repaired the roof with grass, but that became so dilapidated that we considered it unsafe and had to abandon it The men out of their $13 per month last pay day gave $430 toward the erec tion of a building. This expresses to any one familiar with the army more strongly than anything I can say the great need of the building. The plan is to buy logs from the friendly natives (there are no trees on the Reservation), and the men wHl use a small sawmill we have on the reservation to saw them Into lumber. The logs are already coming In, and we have plans made for a building of the bungalow type, adapt ed to this climate, containing all of the usual features of an Institutional church reading room, writing room, games, library, small gymnasium.

The apparatus la here, but no place to set It up. We want a chapel large enough to seat 450 men. The buildlnz will' have a metal roof. "Fortunately one of our officers is an experienced engineer. He has made the plans for the building and will superintend the labor of the men In constructing it Of course it wiU- cost- more than the 'amount the men have given to start it but they are confident that if the matter is properly presented to friends in the 'home land' enough subscriptions will be made to carry it through.

They have already got the first big lot of logs in and are at work. "Captain Burt, who has made the es timate, says that $700, In addition to what we have, will complete the building. I hare no wealthy friends in the States to whom to appeal The government has no appropriation for this purpose, and, so I am writing you in the hope that you may be willing and able to include this ainong your gifts for benevolent purposes. "This Is the third tour of the Eighteenth Infantry. in the Philippines, and I have not previously seen a situation Quite the equal of this.

Our men are ail very, very young, most of them away from home for the first time. They came ont here four months before I did, and when I arrived I found them, both officers and men, saying, 'When the chaplain comes something will be doing, to break this awful It Is the duty of the chaplain to provide encouragement, recreation, those things which win contribute to the- contentment, moral aaul re- Ugtous instroctioa and be a real friend to these boys for whom hearts in the States are yearning. "We do not expect to get home until Christmas. 1909, and If our tour here Is to be at an satisfactory, if the days and weeks are not to drag, some- thins definite must be done for tin yocng men." lu I It BUY NEW CLOTHES THE EVENING REPUBLICAN iMezD Evr AfTEitxoox, icxbat xxczrTKD.
