friends. He is now stationed at Angel’s
Island, near San Francisco, xvhere he
has been since his return from the
Philippines four months ago, where he
was in active service for the last three
years. Although he thinks the Philip
pine climate very rough yet he iooks as
well as usual and talks most interest
ingly of the people, the country and of
his campaign. He had several very nar
row escapes and thinks that had the
Filipinos been as good shots as the Boers
he as well as many American soldiers
would have been on the other side of
Jordan. Captain Faison saw and talked
with Aguinaldo several times whom he
thinks quite an insignificant character
and simply a chance leader of his peo
ple who did not show any special mili
tary genius. He will have a vacation of
three months, w'hen he will return to
California.
