A private letter dated Manila, January 18th, has just been received from private Henry M. Calkins, formerly of this city, who is a member of Company K, ist California Volunteers. Since the letter was written the press telegrams have brought news that Mr. Calkins was wounded in one of the battles that took place a short time ago. In the course of his letter he says: “By the latest papers, especially in the Call, I see criminally false reports about the health of the: soldiers here. There has not been a death within a month. The ratio of sickness and deaths from natural causes among 23,000 soldiers here has not. been any greater I think than it was in San Francisco.
