Mr. Stewart has recently i Stewart, and otl er ifriends, leaves here to - returned from the Philippines where he was a membcr of the telegraph corps in the American army. He spent a year in Manila and the surrounding country, doing duty with his regiment. He has been vastly more fortunate than many who ' went there., Although eXposed tothesaree hardships as the other soldiers, he enjoyed the best of health while there and returned feeling none the worse for his adventurer. He is not sorry that he enlisted, as he has gained an experi- ence that he could not have got in any other way, and has seen much of lie. But he would not care to go through the same again, and he has had enough of soldiering. He returns to St, Paul to take hia former situa- tion at an increased salary., He does not think very highly of the Philippines. He is of the opinion that the United States would have been vastly better Off if they had never rneddled with them. The climate is so in- hospitable that white people can notlive there with any degree of safety to health, and the ountry has been so devastated by war, first between the Filipinos and the Spaniards, nd latterly by the Americans and the ilipino insurgents that it will take it a ong time to recuperate. The American rinse is not making the sweeping viotories here that the reports would indicate and he insurgents are much stronger and have reater resources than the people of the nited States seem to be aware of. He peaks very highly of .Aginaldo. He says he a very fine looking fellow. He is well ducated, a skilful general and is fairly orshipped by his followers.
