partial critic can Internationally admire il.
he will not fall into the error Of treating
IL as rubbish. he will not fail TO recognize
the fact that everywhere progress on the
field Of literature as elsewhere involves
a reputation OF established something
at every step. and that this task Of repudi-
ating and clearing away which Is neces-
sary in order TO bring the plane OF the
German drama TO higher level. has been
performed by the daring poets of 1889, and

FOR INDEPENDENCE.
The Keynote of AguinaIdo's speech at
MaloloS.


Manila. Oct. There is considerable
comment here upon Aguinaldo's speech
al Malolos on Thursday. The keynote
was the independence of the Philippine
Islands. During the course of his re-
marks Aguinaldo said:
our friends, the Americans, came
Tor the purpose of demonstrating the
generosity and grandeur OF their gov
ernment and to assist in releasing the
people from slavery without annexing
the islands, thus setting a good example.
We now understand and appreciate the
famous Monroe doctrine of America for
Americans and justice demands that
they add the Philippines for the Fill
pinos.'"
The insurgent officials express disap-
pointment at the non-attendance of
Americans at the festival at Malolos.
The provincial governor has declined
TO allow an American officer to inspect
the Dagupan prisons and secure their
plans without Aguinaldo's sanction. The
half-caste interpreter used threats, and
consequently Aguinaldo instructed his
troops at the railroad stations beyond
Malolos not to allow any Americans to
pass.

left here a few days ago. has returned.
