Whitney, a former resident Florida; now in Porto Rico, believes that the island will become a form able rival of California and Florida furnishing oranges to supply the cottant demand in the eastern states. Gives his views in the following communication to the New York Sun: recent date, writing from Mayaguez Porto Rico, March 13. They will be interested in California orange growers: "If notice several communications the Sun on the subject of orange growing. Having had a practical experience in orange growing in Florida, having lived here since last September, I can, after a thorough investigation of the possibilities of that industry, unhesitatingly advise the orang growers of Florida and others who are seeking a profitable business to engage in orange culture in Porto Rico." "So far as I have been able to ascertain, the orange has no enemy, and its quality, productiveness and early fruiting of the orange tree here are ahead of Florida or California, and that we have good transportation facilities, the cost of sending them to market would be less than from Tampa Chicago. I have never eaten fineranges than I have eaten here, and land around Mayaguez is peculiar adapted to their growth." "The tariff, of course, will be taken off long before the trees come in bearing. Lands are reasonable price, labor is cheap and abundant; fact, the cost of bringing a grove into bearing is much less than in Florida; advise Porto Rico rather than Cuba because the climate is healthier and pleasanter. I have never seen thermometer above ninety degrees; deed, I consider the climate more pleasant than that of Florida."

The Department of the Interior has rendered a decision that a declaration for pensions executed prior to the date when the right to pension accrued is null and void. It was found that a large number of claims for disability incurred in the war with Spain were being executed before the claimants were mustered out of the service. All such claims for pensions are void. Orange Growers Sue.

Rico as a Coming Orange-Producing Country. Whitney, a former resident of now in Porto Rico, believes island will become a formidable of California and Florida in bringing oranges to supply the command in the eastern states.

Orange Growers Sue. M.S. and L.A. Jones of Santa Ana have instituted suit against the Fay Fruit company and E.T.Parker, the Orange packer, to recover $1750 alleged to be the amount of damages suffered by the plaintiffs through failure on the part of the defendants to comply with the terms of a contract. The plaintiffs own an orange grove of nineteen acres at Santa Ana, and another of six acres at Tustin. They allege that on November 23, 1893, they and the defendant Parker, who it is averred was the agent at Orange for the fruit company, entered into a contract by the terms of which the defendant company undertook to buy all plaintiffs' navels and seedlings suitable for holiday shipment up to December 10, 1893. The prices stipulated for were $150 per packed box of navels, and 90 cents for seedlings of regular sizes. In accordance with the terms of the contract the fruit company paid $200 as an advance upon the purchase, but the plaintiffs allege that in all other particulars the contract was broken. It is averred that the Fay Fruit company failed to take delivery of the fruit, with the result that it was left on the growers' hands, and they were unable to effect a sale. The amount claimed is what the defendant company would have had to pay for 700 boxes of navels and 300 boxes of seedlings with accrued interest. I was reading an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colloy Cholera Remedy in the Worcester enterprise recently, which leads me to write this. I can truthfully say I never used any remedy equal to it for colic and diarrhoea. I have never had to use more than one or two doses to cure the worst case with myself or children—W.A.Stroud, Popomoke City, Md For sale by P.A.Derge. Fullerton Man Adjudged to be Sane. G.W Scott of Fullerton appeared before Judge Ballard in the Superior Court at Santa Ana last Wednesday morning for the purpose of having a charge of insanity against him dismissed. Last January Scott became violently demented and was examined by a board of medical men who adjudged him insane. Just before his commitment to Highlands a sister from Ventura appeared before the court and asked permission to take care of him and try to restore him to health She was allowed to take him in charge and he recovered fully For this reason it became necessary for him to apply to the court for his release to avoid the necessity of going to Highlands for his discharge. Board of Supervisors. At last week's meeting of the Board of Supervisors Sheriff Lacy reported that owing to the increased price of provisions he was unable to feed prisoners at present rate allowed, and asked that the board allow 15 cents per meal in future Request granted. On motion of Supervisor Potter the chairman was authorized to send Mrs. Claridge to the Los Angeles county hospital. On motion of Supervisor Pixley claim of O.S.Dayoe for livery hire rejected and opinion of District Attorney relative to same filed.

At 11 o'clock the fire was taken all along the line, from Camp M Blockhouse 12, a little to our left a short distance in our front, the cavalry being nearest to us on our road all night, waiting for our turn it did not come. Here then, was battle raging; a battle which gave the "rookies," as they are apt to call the recruits, their first battle under fire. I wish I was able scribe the feeling that I am possessed most of us, as we stood road listening to the roar of the Some say it is something awful to and see a battle. Not so wide. The night was clear; a bad night in the tropics; nature sleeps two opposing armies were engaged deadly struggle. There was some grand, almost sublime in the scene around us. The rifle fire the battalions, as they poured after volley into the insurgents' sound at time if a big supply crackers had been set off at once the next minute, when steady were given, it sounded like a tacp, sharp and short. The fire surgeents returned was for a time haps more brisk than our own body was doing his best. In way the battle was carried on half an hour, when presently, and sharp crack of the rifles, was he deep boom of the cannon. We hear the quavering sound of them as they shot through the air, and them explode in the enemy's You should have heard how our cheered as the batteries took up position and sent their missiles out and destruction into the enemy's The roar at times was deafening. Later on in the night some war ships began to shell the position. In this way the night away. From Blockhouse 11 to few hundred yards of Fort Malone the position designated to ourment.

John Rea—Dear Sir: As you long before this, the struggle between the insurgent forces and our mastery over this island, which so far has been a glorious affair for our arms, began on the 4th February, at 10:30 p.m., a little over a month ago. The cause which led to opening of hostilities and the operative of our forces in this campaign (all now), you have of course read about in the newspapers. Yet as I had to give you a dim outline of the four regiment has taken in the act, I will have to start from the morning. The call to arms had been many times before the event of the 4th (false alarms as we used to tell them), that we paid no attention to any rumors that we might hear. Boys used to say, "Oh, it is the again." And many a witty replay, often followed by an oath, was贴 at the officers for making the tumble out of bed in the middle of night to form company, stack and then squat on the ground for our or so; and then dismiss the company, telling the boys to go in and with their clothes on, ready to join on a moment's notice. Some of boys went so far as to say that our arms were cowards; else why did not go out and give the insurgents a good thrashing, as they so richly reserved. The same thing happened on the 4th January at about 7 o'clock. At 7:30 p.m., Company A of our battalion was early in the morning sent across a mud flat and then an open space of country up to the old Spanish trenches. This was on our extreme right. These trenches were exposed (being out in the open) to the fire from the rebels in the timber in front as well as cross-fire from sharpshooters in the woods between Blockhouse 13 and the trenches. As the rebels began making it a little too hot for Company A, an orderly was sent up ordering Companies K and G to leave their position in the road and go to the trenches, so we went down the road on a double quick in columns of fours until we reached the opening, where we had to form a skirmish line on the run. The distance between us and the trenches was about 300 yards. The zip-up of the Mausers came thick and fast, but we made the trenches, and then began to engage the enemy in his own game. Up at Blockhouse 13 it got hotter and hotter. Companies I and M were torn up pretty badly, when companies C and D were brought up, companies E and F forming our left flank. Companies M and I stormed Blockhouse 14, which was in the possession of the insurgents, and when the support came up they managed to drive the rebels out of their trenches in front of the blockhouse. This position they held until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, with the exception of a platoon of Company I which came over to our trenches on our right. About 10 o'clock the two three-inch guns on Fort Malate began toments around Manila, twenty-four miles long, and almost every day there are skirmishes here and there along the line. Our company have not been engaged since the fifth, except a few shots exchanged night before last, between our outpost and the insurgents. The loss of the regiment up till now is 14 killed and 35 wounded. The loss of the whole army corps is about 400 dead and wounded. The loss on the insurgent side, according to their own statement, is 5000 dead; how many wounded we do not know, but it must be many times that number. We have taken a large number of prisoners. The rebels tried to burn the city of Manila at various times. They laid between one and two thousand huts and buildings in ashes. The loss perhaps will be over a million dollars. The most of the property belonged to the Filipinos themselves. Although we are at war with the Filipinos we have many friends among the natives. In the sight of the fifth Aguinaldo invited a party of natives from the hill tribes down to Malolos, where a feast was prepared for them. When they came down there he compelled them to fight against us. Being armed only with bows and arrows, and some sort of a sword, you may easily guess what show they would have against shrapnel and modern fire arms. There are some of them in our hospitals now. They will perhaps not be so easily led into the trap again. It is said that the rebels are massing at Malobon, but Malobon could easily be laid in ashes by the war ships, if it were not for the Spanish prisoners they have there, which will perhaps prevent the war ships from destroying the city. I suppose our forces will starve them into subjection or surrender. As you know before this the islands of Negros and Cebu have holested our flag and asked for American protection. Some of our troops have been sent down there with military officers to form some kind of a new government. The two islands have an area of or little over 4000 square miles. The population is about one million. The export from the islands is about 6,000,000 pesos, or three million dollars, gold (American.) The islands have excellent water, good climate, for this part of the world, great forests, luxuriant vegetation, and industrious people—a most valuable gift The same thing happened on the 4th February, at about 7 o'clock. At 7 o'clock, the call to arms sounded. We went out and formed company. Captain told us that the insurgents were told to stack arms and wait further orders. Finally we were dismissed. The boys went back to our quarters, and swore that they did not get up any more that night, agents or no insurgents. They pressed and went to bed. At 10:30 deep boom of a canon was heard next a few volleys somewhere out the front. Everybody jumped out and the first thing I heard was: God, boys, they are at it at last." A few minutes the companies were freed, but we waited about 10 minutes for our captain (K Co.) who, I am, was at the club. And he did not leave the company until we had taken our position on the road north of blockhouse 13. Orders came, how far we march to the front, our sergeant in charge. "Fours, it; double time, march!" was the command given, and away we went. Our distance to march was about a mile. The first battalion of the Fourth, or three companies of the batten, were stationed in the road back blockhouses 11 and 13, the fourth company of the battalion doing out duty at the blockhouses. "Battalion halt; left company, fours left; march; on left into lines squads; march; company, halt;" Our position was taken for the night. The battle field of our first battle Manila extended in a semi-circle around Manila for a distance of about seven miles. The first shot was fired by a sentry of the Nebraska regiment, at Camp Mesa, two miles east of San Miquel district, Manila, and a bridge across the Pasig river, on road towards San Pedro de Mecati, towards the foot hills. A lieutenant in a squad of insurgents went down this bridge to place a sentry there; bridge being within our lines, he halted and ordered back. He went, came down on the bridge once more. This time he refused to go back, reupon the sentry fired, killing thetenant and a private. This squad rebels fired at the sentry, but missed it, and then retreated. That started game going, but to return back to battle. At 11 o'clock the fire was taken up along the line, from Camp Mesa to blockhouse 12, a little to our left and short distance in our front, the Fourth battery being nearest to us on our left. The battalion had to stand there in the mid all night, waiting for our turn, but did not come. Here, then, was a real raging; a battle which was to be the "rookies," as they are pleased all the recruits, their first baptism after fire. I wish I was able to describe the feeling that I am sure possessed most of us, as we stood in the old listening to the roar of the battle, one say it is something awful to listen and see a battle. Not so with me, the night was clear; a beautiful trench was about 500 yards. The zip-up of the Mausers came thick and fast, but we made the trenches, and then began to engage the enemy in his own game. Up at Blockhouse 13 it got hotter and hotter. Companies I and M were torn up pretty badly, when companies C and D were brought up, companies E and F forming our left flank. Companies M and I stormed Blockhouse 14, which was in the possession of the insurgents, and when the support came up they managed to drive the rebels out of their trenches in front of the blockhouse. This position they held until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, with the exception of a platoon of Company I which came over to our trenches on our right. About 10 o'clock the two three-inch guns on Fort Malate began to shell the woods in front of us, but the fire was not effective, owing to poor ammunition, I am told. Then the monitor Monadnock lying below the fort, began to take a hand in the game. Some of the shells from her smaller guns did good work. One of the shells exploded over our heads, but high enough so as not to do any harm. Others went singing over our heads and exploded far inland. The Buffalo was shelling the woods higher up the bay. At last the Monadnock brought her 10-inch guns into play. The monitor was lying about half a mile to the north of us, and the range of her big guns was 200 yards or perhaps nearer, in our front; but the objects aimed at were the trenches of the rebels, near Pasig, south of us. What did it sound like when the 10-inch projectiles went flying through the air in front of us? The first thing we would notice would be a black cloud of smoke suddenly raising from the monitor's deck, and then a report or sound very similar to that of a snowslide coming down a steep mountain side, carrying rocks, trees and everything else before it, the echo reverberating from mountain to mountain, only it did not last so long. As the report rolled inland we could feel the earth tremble beneath us, at the same time something was going through the air in front of us. It was the projectile, we could follow it with our eyes. The sound it produced was very much like that of a large circle saw running at high speed, only much louder. Between 10 and 11 o'clock a battalion of the North Dakotas left their trenches and advanced out in the open, marching to the right of the woods in front of us. This was done to locate the enemy's position in the woods. The ruse worked well. As the boys advanced the rebels opened up on them and many of the insurgents left their hiding places to intercept the Dakota men, and this was what we wanted. Our men fired many volleys into their ranks. As soon as our battalion opened fire the Dakota men fell back to their trenches. At 11:20 our battalion left the trenches and advanced on the enemy's position in the woods. After clearing the woods and the trenches in front of the insurgents, who fell back to the trenches near Pasig, we were ordered back to our former position. We were by this time hungry, as well as thirsty, as the day was warm. For dinner we got some hard tack and a mouthful of coffee. Between 12 and 2:15 there was little or no firing in our front, while on our left the men posted in the trees kept shooting at us almost all the time. Between Blockhouses 13 and 14 and Pasig is a straight line of entrenchments. They do not extend quite up to Pasig. In these trenches, the insurgents in front of our regiment made their last stand. About half past two orders came for our battalions to storm those trenches. General King, our brigade commander, was with us when we started. The battalions were formed into a skirmish outside or in front As you know before this islands of Negros and Cebu have hoisted our flag and asked for American protection. Some of our troops have been sent down there with military officers to form some kind of a new government. The two islands have an area of or little over 4000 square miles. The population is about one million. The export from the islands is about 6,000,000 pesos, or three million dollars, gold (American). The islands have excellent water, good climate, for this part of the world, great forests, luxuriant vegetation, and industrious people—a most valuable gift to the American people without having to strike a blow for it. The weather continues to be very pleasant. Some of the troops which left from the States have arrived. We wish all of them would be here soon, as we forthe present are lying idle, so to speak because we have not men enough to keep this long line of defense around Manila,and at the same time march through the enemy's country.I suppose they will go to work again in earnest as soon as they get troops enough.It is said here today that Gen.Anderson with the first division,towhich our regiment belongs,has asked for permission to move onthe enemy.His wish is granted, which it is most likely it will be,now that several other regiments have come he will bring left of his division up along the river Pasig up tothe Lake Laguna;then forcethe enemyback towards Cavite,bringingthe rightofthe divisiontoor beyondCampDeweyThis shortenedthe lineof attackandstrengthenit.

Thedamwillconsistofahugewall at 11 o'clock the fire was taken up along the line, from Camp Mesa to Blockhouse 12, a little to our left and short distance in our front. The Fourth Army being nearest to us on our left, the battalion had to stand there in the dark all night, waiting for our turn, but did not come. Here, then, was a real battle raging; a battle which was to be the "rookies," as they are pleased all the recruits, their first baptism under fire. I wish I was able to describe the feeling that I am sure possessed most of us, as we stood in the midst listening to the roar of the battle, one say it is something awful to listen and see a battle. Not so with me. The night was clear; a beautiful light in the tropics; nature slept while opposing armies were engaged in deadly struggle. There was something sound, almost sublime in the whole scene around us. The rifle fire from the battalions, as they poured volley into the insurgents' ranks, ended at time as if a big supply of fire rockers had been set off at once, and next minute, when steady volleys were given, it sounded like a thunder bolt, sharp and short. The fire the insurgents returned was for a time perplexes more brisk than our own. Everyday was doing his best. In this way the battle was carried on for about an hour, when presently, amid the sharp crack of the rifles, was heard the boom of the cannon. We could hear the quavering sound of the shells they shot through the air, and hear them explode in the enemy's ranks. You should have heard how our boys entered as the batteries took up their station and sent their missiles of death and destruction into the enemy's ranks. The roar at times was deafening. Water on in the night some of our ships began to shell the enemy's position. In this way the night wore away. From Blockhouse 11 to within a hundred yards of Fort Malate was the position designated to our regiment. On our right and extending the bay were two battalions of the East North Dakotas. On old Fort Malate were mounted two 3-inch cannons. In our immediate front was the First Regiment, the flower of the Philippine army, with lots of other troops, far outnumbering us. This tree did not fire a shot all night until we clocked in the morning, when their posts fired on Blockhouses 12 and 13. There were only a few shots exchanged between our outposts and theirs, when became quiet again, and firing on left slackened somewhat. About 6 blocks an ox cart was sent up with our breakfast, consisting of coffee, hard-baked and corned beef. In ten minutes' dered back to our former position. We were by this time hungry, as well as thirsty, as the day was warm. For dinner we got some hardtack and a mouthful of coffee. Between 12 and 2:15 there was little or no firing in our front, while on our left the men posted in the trees kept shooting at us almost all the time. Between Blockhouses 13 and 14 and Pasig is a straight line of entrenchments. They do not extend quite up to Pasig. In these trenches, the insurgents in front of our regiment made their last stand. About half past two orders came for our battalions to storm those trenches. General King, our brigade commander, was with us when we started. The battalions were formed into a skirmish line outside, or in front of the trenches. When the orders came to move forward, our right flank and left center were marching with short steps, to enable the battalion to make a left turn, so as to march directly on the trenches. A battalion of the North Dakotaans took part in this charge, being on our right. The first obstacle in our way was a mud flat, which we had to cross. We sank down in mud and water nearly up to our waists; then thick brush and bamboo hedges; then a creek deep enough for the water to go up to under our arms, then some more brush. Big holes, bean stalks and what not, and lastly Mauser and Remington bullets. Twice the battalion laid down and poured magazine fire into the rebels in the trenches. The terrific fire from our new army rifles was enough to make anybody run, and I suppose the rebels thought the same thing, because they betook themselves off as fast as their legs would carry them, and we had won the day. After resting a little we marched toward the village of San Pedro de Micail, where we camped in an open country for four days and then we went back to Pasig, where we are now entrenched. This is the story as near as I can write it, of the part our regiment took in the fight on the fourth and fifth. In justice to the men of the First battalion, I must state that after the last charge, they received from the general down to the company commanders, praise for their gallant conduct during the charge. Before the charge the general told the major, that he did not know how it would turn out, as most of his men were recruits, and the place we had to take was well defended, and the country being very rough between us and their trenches. As we were resting after the charge the general said to the major that we conducted ourselves like veterans. There is a solid line of entrenchment back to our former position. We were by this time hungry, as well as thirsty, as the day was warm. For dinner we got some hardtack and a mouthful of coffee. Between 12 and 2:15 there was little or no firing in our front, while on our left the men posted in the trees kept shooting at us almost all the time. Between Blockhouses 13 and 14 and Pasig is a straight line of entrenchments. They do not extend quite up to Pasig. In these trenches, the insurgents in front of our regiment made their last stand. About half past two orders came for our battalions to storm those trenches. General King, our brigade commander, was with us when we started. The battalions were formed into a skirmish line outside, or in front of the trenches. When the orders came to move forward, our right flank and left center were marching with short steps, to enable the battalion to make a left turn, so as to march directly on the trenches. A battalion of the North Dakotaans took part in this charge, being on our right. The first obstacle in our way was a mud flat, which we had to cross. We sank down in mud and water nearly up to our waists; then thick brush and bamboo hedges; then a creek deep enough for the water to go up to under our arms, then some more brush. Big holes, bean stalks and what not, and lastly Mauser and Remington bullets. Twice the battalion laid down and poured magazine fire into the rebels in the trenches. The terrific fire from our new army rifles was enough to make anybody run, and I suppose the rebels thought the same thing, because they betook themselves off as fast as their legs would carry them, and we had won the day. After resting a little we marched toward the village of San Pedro de Micail, where we camped in an open country for four days and then we went back to Pasig, where we are now entrenched. This is the story as near as I can write it, of the part our regiment took in the fight on the fourth and fifth. In justice to the men of the First battalion, I must state that after the last charge they received from the general down to the company commanders, praise for their gallant conduct during the charge. Before the charge the general told the major that he did not know how it would turn out, as most of his men were recruits, and the place we had to take was well defended, and the country being very rough between us and their trenches. As we were resting after the charge the general said to the major that we conducted ourselves like veterans. There is a solid line of entrenchment back to our former position. We were by this time hungry, as well as thirsty, as the day was warm. For dinner we got some hardtack and a mouthful of coffee.
