Atrocities Practiced by Spaniards
In the Philippines.
Strong Efforts Being Made TO Prevent
the Facts Being Known.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.--A San francisco
special to a local paper says: Cuoan
atrocities are mild compared TO those TAX
ing place in the Philippine Islands, where
the Spanish are trying to suppress re-
volt OF the natives. Some indication OF
affairs has boen learned from the Orien-
tai papers. The most shocking incident
of the bloody affairs was the treatment OF
a Spanish lieutenant and his family. The
Spanish had captured number OF pris-
oners, and as an o5ject lesson 10 the ma
tives disem bowelied I wo and hung their
bloody bodies on one OF the gates OF the
town. The infurinted rebels, eager for
vengeance, gathered force and hurried
10 the home of Spanish Lieutenant on
the outskirts of Manila. They captured
the officer, his wife and IL year old
daughter, ana then began bloody scene
of torture. The most savage instincts OF
the natives were aroused. Before the eyes
of his wife and daughter the iieutenants
skin was slit all over his BODY. Then
the torturers crucined nm, pinning ntm
outstretched to a tree with their long
knives. They then turned TO the woman
and girl, giving the fullest play to their
animal instincts and wreaking a dis
gusting vengeance before the dying eyes
of the husband and father.
The Spanish are doing their best to
keep the news OF these atrocities from
leaving the islands, opening and inspec-
ting all the mail. They particularly de-
sired to keep unknown the death of 3S
prisoners in one night in the black hole.

Present value,
s3s3,3OO,oOo.

The object lesson which the
above presents is to show at
a glance what would happen
to the present currency OF the
country should free coinage
be adopted. This is accom-
plished as follows
First, fold backward out of
sight the section containing
the gold money which would
disappear under free coinage.
Second, fold backward at
the dotted lines the upper
half of the section represent
ing the silver money, since it
is apparent that free coinage
would reduce the silver money
to the commercial value of the
metal, which is practically one
half of the value at which the
Government now maintains it.
Third, fold backward the
lower half of the section rep
resenting the paper money,
which would be also deprecia-
ted in an equal proportion,
since the metallic currency of
the country would be only
silver coins passing at the
commercial value of the metal
in them.
BY this process you are able
to show the enormous reduc-
ton in the value Of the money
of the country which would
follow the free coinage of sill
yer, since the Government
would not, of course, attempt
TO maintain the dollars which
it would coin for individuals
at any more than the com
mercial value Of the silver put
into it.
By this simple explanation
it becomes apparent 1T a
glance that the money OF the
country. now amounting to
81, 900. 600, 900, would shrink
to $so+4so,ooo in value. or
lc $ than one.third the present
amount
