KEEP THE PHILIPPINES
If Spanish Rule Remains it Would
Mean a Long War-The Filipinos
Incapable of Self Government.

MANILA, September 1s.-In an in
teryiew with him by the correspond
ent of the Associated Press Archbish-
OPP Dosal, of the Philippine Islands,
said:
Il earnestly hope that the Islands
will not remain Spanish. because the
rebels are now so strong that such a
course would inevitably cause appall-
ing bloodshed. The reconquest of the
natives is impossible until after years
of the most cruel warfare"
He also expressed the hope that the
islands would not become absolutely
independent, because it was certain
that dissensions would occur, which
would result in incessant strife and Il
lapse into barbarism and the natural
Incidence of the tropical race The
only hope, the archbishop declared,
was that a strong western power
would intervene now. Delay was dan
gerous, because the people are intoX-
icated, vainglorious and restless.
He said il was undeniable that the
religious orders must go. because the
whole people had determined to abol-
ish them. now that they were able to
render their retention impossible.
He laid the chief blame upon the Do
minican, Augustine and Franciscan
ecclesiastics, the richest orders, and
next upon the Benedictines and Capu-
Gins, which are of less importance.
The Jesuits, Archbishop Dorsal says,
are comparatively blameless. He adj
ded that the rival orders quarrel
among themselves, intrigue, act un-
worthily and Islander their opponents,
thus increasing their general disfavor
The Provincials who are approximate

OPP, who denies possessing much pow

The total number of Spanish priests
in the Philippines before the war Vas
about 1000, but lately every departing
steamer has taken fifty or hundred
of them away, and now barely fifty
remain.
Several responsible Spaniards assur-
ed the correspondent that they would
refuse to remain here, if Spain were
reinstated in the control of the Is
lands. Many of the Spanish soldiers
refuse to serve again. and Spanish of

Madison, Wis, April 25.-The attor-
ney generals Office is receiving replies
to the questions recently addressed to
the wholesale grocery companies which
are members of the Wisconsin Whole
sale Grocers' association. The answers
are all remarkably alike, and lead to the
inference that an answer was agreed
upon by the members of the associa-
ton. All the answers beg the question,
and say the association is not a cor
poration, and that therefore the MEM
bers of the association are not COM
PEELED to answer.
This position, Assistant Attorney
General ErGall says, is wrong. 1t does
not matter, he says, whether the asso-
citation is corporation or not, but is
it an organization in the nature of a
trust? Does it seek to put up or keep
