that the authority of the United States in

that in the interest of a quiet and orderly
administration of affairs it was desirable
for the insurgents to vacate the suburbs Of
the city within a reasonable time. About
that time Aguinaldo gave assurance of CO.
operating with the American forces towards
the maintainence of order, and there has
been no reason to believe his adherents
would give serious opposition to their re-
moVal from the suburbs The time within
when the movement is to be accomplished
mas not expired, according to the under
standing here, and a satisfactory arrange
ment Is expected before the time arrives
IN the meantime TO reports have come from

Rod of time in the worlds history has been

the result to us, as a nation, cannot but

clared patriotism to be the foundation stone

extended to the isles of the sea, indica-

evangelization. To our fellow-soldiers and
sailors of the present era, we extend our
congratulations as heartily as is in our
power to do so, recognizing, as we do, that
our organization and our teachings during
the last thirty years have been effective in
preparation for this glorius result. AS
combated disunion and secession, in order
that this Nation might forever remain one

behold the citizen-soldiers of every State

the mission of the Grand Army of the Re

The parade would have to be made after

1t seems to me impracticable to parade
