Philippines, Writes a Manifesto,
He Assures the Inhabitants That He Comes
Not to Cypress But to Free Them
They Are Granted the Fullest
Liberty Within the Law.

SAN Francisco, June Czech. Wes-
ley Merritt, who sails from this port
at 10 o'clock Wednesday and assumes
his duties as governor general of the
philippine islands, has prepared a
proclamation which will be issued
Immediately after his arrival at
Manila. He expects to enter
that city without serious resist
ance, but in case of necessity is
prepared to use both the naval
and military forces at his command to
take fOrcible possession of the place
The proclamation to be disseminated
has been translated into Spanish and
many thousands of copies will be cir
culated. Although its contents are as
yet kept secret, its general tone is
known and it will announce to
the people of the islands that
Gen. Merritt, as the representa-
tive of the United States, has
established provisional government
and his authority must be respected.
At the same time he will insure the
inha bitants that he comes not to op-
press but to free them. They are to
be granted the fullest liberty compati-
bic with the perseverance of law and
order and all personal and property
rights are to be respected.
In az interview Tuesday night Gen.
Merritt expressed his satisfaction with
the officers and men under his COM
mand, and the most complete conf
dence in the success of the United
States in the Philippines. He has in
structions from Washington to confer
with Adm. Dewey on his arrival at
Manila, and the two commanders are
to act in concert in everything that
may be necessary to insure the occu-
patton of the islands by this govern
ment
Gen. Merritt notified his staff Off
GERS that they must have all their bag
gage aboard the steamer Newport
Tuesday night, and clerks and mes
sengers attached to the various Off
GERS of Gen. Merritt's department were
ordered to go aboard the steamer Tues
day night
1t was intimated at headquarters
Tuesday morning that Gen. Merritt's
plan is not to wait for transports,
which can only average ten knots an
hour, but to hurry into Honolulu, get
on coal and proceed on to Manila as
soon as possible.
With the advantage of faster boat
Gen. Merritt will probably reach Ma
Mia a week in advance of the third
expedition. The Newport can easily
make Is knots an hour.
Six gatling guns mounted on car
riages have been fixed on the upper
deck of the Newport and the guns of
the Astor battery and the Sd United
States artillery are close at hand.

Life and the Liver.

Success in life depends upon the liver
is the way Chas. Lamb, the poet and punster,
put it. Medical science has proven, that
nine-tenths of the ailments Of living have
their origin in the liver, and in constipation
caused by its arrangements. Keep the liver
lively and all will be well. Modern science
points out Cascarets as the only perfect,
gentle, positive liver regulator fit to be used
in the delicate human organism. All drug
gists sell Cascarets Zoe, 25c, SOC and we rec
