"Take the Philippines p No.

TO THE EDITOR.
Sir In your issue of the 9th
instant, it is stated under the heading
National Affairs that, Tin determining
t. acquire possession of all the Philippine
Islands, President Mckinley has merely
complied with the almost unanimous senti-
ment of the country" In regard to this.
l must say, that, as ia Republican,, and as
an American, hope it is not 50 ; that is,
hope that the desire for such acquisition
Is mt almost unanimous. by any means.
For, il the sentiment is so great it will
probably be grttiied, and so Americans
doomed to bear the Spanish Woe And if
while under it, truth proclaims its impas
ton due to the Republican pa ty, that party
will surely b. destroyed.
10 prevent that catastrophe, the cool
heads of the party should discourage, not
encourage, tropical acquisition since, be-
sides causing that catastrophe, it can bring
to our coIntry no adequate reward for the
continuous round OF war; expense aud dis
ease it will intict upon us.
As an instance OF what it will effect IN
regard to one voter and how, suggestively,
it may influence thousands | will say, that,
il the Republican party advocates expan.
sion-at least such expansion as will impose
on us, permanently, tropical lands-my
vote will be lost to it forever.
But, indeed, ! eau rot believe that even
a very great body Of my brother Americans
approve o. taking TIE Philippines. Adven.
tuners, Spectators, aad sone politicians
may bat citizens, honest, sensible tor
paycrSI oh, no.

THE P0PE'S HOPE
Is That an Armistics May Be Arrang-
ed Between Spain and the Insur-
gents With McKinley's Aid.

ROME. April $50 y. m.-There has
been an active exchange of kilograms this
afternoon between the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs. Senior Gullon, at Mad
rid. and Monsignor Merry del Val. the
Popes private chamberlain, with the
view of drawing UP, with the consent OF
the Pope the exact terms of the arms
is said, by the Pope Immediately after the
terms are drawn up. ard the hope is ex-
pressed at the Vatican that it will be
agreed to by the authorities at Washing
ton
In clerical circles it appears to be un-
derstood that President Mckinley may
bring pressure TO bear upon the insur-
gents to induce them to accept an arms
tice. ard 1t is understood the holy see
viii then exert similar influence through
the episcopacy in CUBA.
It is hoped here that the armistice pro-
posed will be definitely drawn up to-mor-
row or Thursday.
The Vatican authorities this evening
absolutely refused to furnish any infor-
nation relative to the dispatch which
President Mckinley is said to have sert
To the Pope on the subject of the latter $
mediation with Spain, and in which the
presidert was represented as having out
lined his views on the Cuban situation.
The clerical organ. the Observatory Ro-
mano is equally silent.

TAKING PRECAUTIONS,

From Cuba.

Arrangements Making for the Prompt Re
moval of Consuls and Other Americans
From Cuba.
Washington, April 5.-The State De-
partment has received a dispatch from
Consul General Lee, saying that in
case war is declared he will not be
able to get the American citizens out
of Cuba before next Sunday
Members of the House have been
informed to-day that vessels have been
been despatched to Havana to take off
General Lee and our consular officers
as well as all Americans who desire to
leave the island.
In response to representations re-
ceived from General Lee the Treasury
Department has telegraphed DR.. Brun-
ner, the quarantine officer at Havana
directing him to permit all Americans
who desire to do so to leave Havana
without certificate or examination.
On the arrival Of the vessel at the
Florida coast with Americans from
Cuba an examination will be made,
and the vessel will be held until it is
determined that there is no disease
M board.
Information received at the State
Department from Consul General Lee
at Havana, does not indicate that he
regards himself or the other consular
officials in Cuba in any special danger
at this time, and in reply to the sug-
gestion that it might be expedlent Tor
him to hasten his departure, he has
informed the department that about
ten days would be necessary for the
consuls throughout the island to ar
range for their departure, except IN
case of emergency. No definite action
has vet been taken in regard to the re-
moval OF the consuls, but it seems
probable that they will be recalled
within the next day or two. The gov
eminent has given Gen. Lee instruc-
tions to see to the safety OF our con-
suls and all Americans in Cuba and
has given him full authority to go to
whatever expense is necessary, m
cluding the hire of vessels that may be
necessary to secure this end.
Secretary Long was asked late TINS
afternoon if he had received any ad-
vices from Havana indicating a neces-
sitv for postponing the President S
message to which he replied: NO, the
message will go to Congress to-mor-

WANT PEACE.
Allegheny Republicans and Pittsburs
Chamber of Commerce Adopt Reso-
luti0ns.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 5.-The Ale
sheny county Republican conferees of
the Twentyfourth Congressional dis
trict, in session here to-day, passed
resolutions that while they sympathize
with the Cubans, they at the same time
believe that every honorable effort
should be made to prevent the people
of the United States from unnecessar-
lily experiencing the horrors OF war
The efforts Of the President and Con-
gress to that end are heartily endorsed
and confidence expressed that they will
only form such a peace as will meet
all the demands of humanity and JUS
tice and preserve the highest standard
of the national honor. The conferees
will vote for Hon. E. F. Acheson, of
Washington county, for Congress.
A special meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce was held this afternoon
to consider the war crisis. The meet
ing was largely attended and enthus-
iastic. Strong resolutions were adopt
ed expressing unqualified confidence
in the ability and craftsmanship Of
President Mckinley to maintain the
dignity and honor of our country.
The action of Congress, in support
ing the President in his efforts to pre-
vent hostilities pending an adjustment
by peaceful methods is thoroughly ap-
preciated and commended and the
Chamber of Commerce pledges undi-
vided support to the measures which
the President and Congress may take,
not excepting the possibility that they
may take the form of active hOstil-
itiec

refuge for 100. These people are hud-
died in those places with no beds, no
bed clothing and such was the demand
for room in the town last night that
fully 100 people remained
ON THE OPEN LEVEE
in cold and driving rain driven by a
gale of sixty miles an hour There is
no probability that they will be called
upon to repeat this experience as many
OF them have been taken to Mt. Yer
non, Cypress Junction and other places.
The facilities for leaving the place are
so meagre, however, and the neces-
sity for relief so urgent, that unless
TIE most prompt measures are taken
great suffering will ensue.
The entire country north, south and
west of ShawneetOwn is covered with
water and locomotion in all directions
is most difficult and almost impossible.
In the township Immediately north OF
Shawneetown, there are net sufficient
dry ground to-day for single polling
place. and there was, therefore no
election, and the other officers will
hold over for another term.
Many instances of heroism were per-
formed by the townspeople in rescuing
their fellow citizens. Prominent
among the leaders in this work was
Lloyd Rowan, an old man, who, with
a skiff, saved "a people by his own in
dlvidual eXertions. Frank Robinson,
Marshall Callicott and VIM. Vaughn,
all of whom did heroic work with
skiffs. Callicott is the son of Wash
ingtoa Callicott, and was within thirty
feet of his father and mother when
they We're drowned
He made desperate efforts to reach
them, but they were borne down by
the flood and did not rise again. The
only way in which those using skiffs
could save people was by
DROPPING DOWN THE CURRENT
to points lower in the town. The flow
of water was so rapid that it was i'm
possible to make Roadway against it
and very little rescue work could be
done in the neighborhood of the dixie.
With the exception Of the lives lost
in the three squares near the dixie, all
persons in the town escaped as the
waterfs spread with less and less
rapidity.
