The weather is lovely. We are going through regular drill in the morning. We have seven men on guard and three on outpost. General Otis sends out a Proclamation under orders from the President. This causes some excitement among the Spaniards and Filipinos. Uptown everything is on the boom since all the soldiers have plenty of money. We also sent mail via Hong Kong. In the afternoon the Pennsylvania Regiment is playing their last game of ball in order to win the Cup as well as the championship of the 8th Army Corps against Minnesota. Result: 11 to 7 in favor of the 10th. It was a very exciting game and was witnessed by thousands of people. Of course the boys celebrated the victory at night and again we have orders to be ready at a moment’s notice. We still have the same twelve men on the sick list. Three men are absent at check roll and have to scrub our quarters the following day. We are now rejoicing when anyone is absent. “Clean Quarters.”
