Ix Toe Trexcues.—In order to reduce the depth of water in the Cumberland Street trencb, near the gas works, the contractore, Scott aed Mackinnon, have had to import a six-inch centrifagal pump of twelve hundred gallows per minute cap- | acity, with the necessary driving engine, from New York. The pump will pro- bably be ia operation by this evening, when itis expected to sucesefully over- comethe flow of water from the ¢prings tapped in digging this trench. Hereto-| fore alleiforts to empty the trench with a} smalier pump have been in vain as the water has maintained a depth of two feet throughout. At the west end of Rich-| mond street, where the soakage cf rain had made adepth of nearly three feet of water ia the trench forthe past week, the old Rollo fire engine last night succeeded in pumping it ont in half an hour, On; West Street, where springs aod soakage aleo flooded the trench, causing some of the pipe to float, a steam pump has been at work for some days and has been snecessfu! in keeping the water down. Coneequently the work of filling in will probably now be accomplished with aa little delay as possible.—-Tne other day on Kent Street a man was slightly injured by being struck on the arm by the pick of aman next him, the men being placed too close together.—About twenty-five feet of trench on Kent Street east caved in en Monday, but asthe clay started slow~ ly the men got out of the way without in~ jury.

Everything is rauno-pg emoothly on board our sbip, all of us—Mason, my

brothers, Art and Tom, McQuillar, Davies, and myself are enjoying gcod health. We do no: go ashore very ofcen, for their is not much to ioterest us in Manila but the ex-

citement of the war.

Admiral Dewey left Manila Bay on May 20:h, bound for New Yurk, on board his flagship the Olympia. I can tell you there was great booming of cannon from the ships left behind, the Uregon, Boston, Baltimore and others. The British cruiser Powerful—she’s a bird—left for home on June let, relieved by the Aurora, thrre are besides her two British gunboats here rep= resenting John Bull.

Laiely there has not been any ‘ighting worth mentioning; but patients come out to the ship in numbers every day, and go back when cured. I expect, now, that we shal! take no more sick on board exc-pt those who are to go home with us to Sin Francisco. Iam pretty svre that we +Lall leave for there about the 20th or 25:b of June, as the lst Oregon Regiment will leave here about that time, by transport, and we are totake their sick.

There are alot of wounded toldiers in the Philippines—many more thav you would imagine; the American p-vple caunot knew, nor can anyone not here in person kave the l|wast idea what their losees are. Many ® poor man has fallen on the fivid while fightiog for his country. At home he may bave l-ft a family depending on him for a living. Bat be would die and that is «// there would be about it. Hardly a day passes Ov board our ship but two or three operations take place on men badly wounded.

On June 20, two ef our offieere—the third mate and the trird assistant engineer —were out boat-sa] ng, to pags the after noon away; send gowg tociose instore they were taken by surprise by a equad of Filipinos, who surrounded their buat and took them prsvaera. The Monitor, which lay about two miles from the place they were captured, fired on the enemy, butto no purpose,as they held ther prisoners aod will probably coatinue to hold them until the end of the war. By latest reports J hear that Aguinaldo wil! not exchange prisoners ; we have heard that one of our fellows was shot,—supposed to third mate

None of us want to be captured,

The Filipinos get their soldiers by all sortsofmeans. They catck all they can, fathers, brothers, cousins—all they are able to lay hands on: if these won’t fight they are executed,—so they generally fight.

last Sunday. You would be surprised to see how many wounded Filipinos are being cared for by the Americans ; tbeir tents are separated from those of the American patients.

Aguineldo is a man who cap handle his army, and also a wan who takes everything cooly, at the same time he is ever plot~ ting. Where his quarters are nokody knows, although one of his body guards was captured by the Americans.

Manila, from my experience, is a place no man should come to te make a Siving, a bar owner, or merchant or businees man can here beg, strong natives for simply their food ; rou can get your pick at $3 or $4 a month, to work day and night. Tbeonly thing a man can do out here is to start selling rum ; if be wants to make a living clear of that there is no money to be made.

Manila is overcrowded with Chinese ; they are coming from Hong Kong and China every day, bundreds of them. There is a big trade between this place and Hong Kong.

The native women out here wear wooden shoes and no stockings ; the men moatly go bare-foot, theugh some wear slippers without heels that just fit over their toes.

The climate here is fearfully hot at times. I want no part of Manila.
