render all his rights to the American
commander, giving up all hope Of the
Independence for which he has been
fighting for many years.
The American Plan.
AGuinaIdo has not in any of his utter
ances that have been recorded on this
side of the world suggested that he de-
sired to surrender these rights to the
American Government and raise the
American flag over the islands. He has
talked of a protectorate of the United
States and an independent government
under it. In such plan the United States
would undertake to defend him from all
foreign aggression. but would secure no
benefits except coaling rights, perhaps
and probably large part of the trade
of the islands.
This is not the United States plan. The
Philippines must become the property of
this Government absolutely, both for their
own good and for that of the United
States. America is now determined that
commonwealth on the American plan
is to be raised in the Pacific, with Amer
lean civilization and American progress
siyeness. Anything less will be rejected
by the Administration and by the people.
Immediately also the United States
wished to hold the Philippines as indem-
nifty.
1t is at just this point that the Admin
istration fears trouble. 1t is understood
that to the Philippine insurgents their
position may seem Identical with that of
the Cubans. The United States has waged
this war professedly to free the Cubans.
Aguinaldo may say when the terms of
peace are being decided, or even before,
while the war is still continuing, that
his men are fighting for independence.
too. and that the United States has helped
them in the same way and should not
expect to take the islands away from
them any more than to annex Cuba.
If this stand were taken persistently by
him, and even held at the peril of armed
attack by the United States, the problem
would have 10 be solved whether TO fight
the insurgents when they are contending
for their liberty

"Cunning Little Fellows,
From the Chicago Journal.)

Every evening just at dusk the wild
rats which roam through Lincoln Park
go down to the lagoon to drink In the
uncertain light they are mistaken for va
rious other animals especially for gophers
and squirrels.
Often couples wandering through the
park stop to look at the rodents as they
take their evenings drink. The girls in
variably express great admiration for the
cunning little fellows They stand
still close to the animals and watch their
movements.
But as soon as their escorts inform them
that the cunning little things are no.
thing but common, ordinary. wild rats
their admiration turns to disgust and
loathing, and often the girls make dash
for the nearest bench.

Lord Chesterfield, who knew his foible

Il did not intend to go, not being
sufficiently informed of the question to

physician. (Which side will you be

Lord Chesterfield, having gained his
confidence, easily directed his judg-
ment. He took him to the house and
got him to vote as be pleased. He after
ward said that few Of his friends had
done as much as he, having literally
bled fer the good of his country.
