Inc NATIVES OF the Philippine Islands
Want Independence.
Madrid, August 21.-An official dis
patch from Manila announces the dis
covery in the Philippine Islands of a sep
aratist conspiracy, the object being to
secure independence from Spain. Ac-
cording to the official advices twenty one
persons have already been arrested, sew
eral being Free Masons. The news has
caused great excitement in Madrid, and
the police in consequence tonight raded
the Hispano Philippine Club, and seized
large quantity of papers.
Manila papers received here this week
contained frequent expressions that re-
volt in the Philippine Islands MIGHT be
expected in the near future. 1t was even
suggested by some of the papers that
Japan was endeavoring to foment trouble
in that part of the Spanish possessions
for the purpose of extending the juris-
diction of her island empire over the
Philippines. The Philippine Islands lie
only about $50 miles south of the newly
acquired japanese possession of Formosa,
n number of small islands intervening.
Spain's army in the Philippine Islands is
estimated at seven regiments of infantry
and of artillery with squadron of caval-
ry, the total effective force being 964 Off
GERS and about 10000 men.

indianapolis, August 21.-For ten
days.a great crowd has collected on the
postotiice corner, discussing the financial
question of the present campaign. The
discussion frequently lasted until mid
night; as fast as one speaker wearied
another filled the gap. The police made
numerous and futile efforts to scatter
the disputants and finally made several
arrest. Twice the eases came before
Judge Cox, of the city court, and the last
time with much Impotence he discharg-
ed the defendants, holding there was no
decision by any court. high or low where
1T Is held that man violates the law by
discussing politics in the street
ION the contrary continued the
court, "all of the decisions are the other
way. , The right of speech is fundament-
nj i'll our constitution and must not be
denied. No police can stop it, 1t is the
right of citizens. This is Il time when
perpleXlng questions are puZZling the
people. They are questions of vital i'm
portance to the common people. 1t is
only by ample discussion of the oues-
tions that confront them that they can
learn properly to exercise their right of
franchise. They have the right to dis.
cuss these questions and the court will
protect them"
The court also criticized the policy of
the police in interfering with these street
corner talks by using the ordinance
against sidewalk distractions as an en-.
CINE of oppression. He warned the off
GERS that further arrests would be use
less, as the defendants would not be
punished.
The financial debates are still being
held.
