FILlPlNOS MAKE AN APPEAL
DIRECTED TO PRESYDEST JI,NIN- LEY AND AMERIC1N PEOPLE,

Call Attention to False Reports That the FiIipinos Are Responsible for All the Friction and Besecch United States to "Help the Junta Control Our
 Own People by Directing American Officials at Manila to Temper Their Actions With Friendship and Fair ness.
 Hong Kong. Nov. 14.-The Filipino junta, representatives of General Aguinaldo and the Filipino govern ment have drawn up what they desig- nate as an appeal to President McKin- ley and the American people. John Barrett, former United States minister to Siam, was asked by the junta to present the memorial to the United States government and people. MT. Barrett replied that while he could have no official influence regarding the status of the matter he was satisfied that document which represented the sentiments of the people would receive at the hands of the Americans all the consideration it deserved.
 The memorial ayers that false re- ports are spread broadcast alleging that the Filipinos are responsible for all the friction,' points out that "the tension is greater every day and any moment shot may be fired by an irresponsible great bloodshed and beseeches the United States to "help the junta to American officials at Manila to temper their actions with friendship and fair ness.
 From the commencement of hostili- ties,'' continues the memorial, "the Fill ipinos acceded to all the American re- quests, but after bottling up the Span lards in Manila the Filipinos were completely ignored when the Americans
 
 advanced, and thus deprived us of the fruits of victory. Now after months of campaigning, the Filipino troops have been ordered beyond the suburbs where they have no quarters and where supplies are difficult to obtain. All of our launches have been seized be- cause of foolish rumors that we would attack the Americans. The Spaniards of late have been shown every kind ness while the Filipinos their friends, and allies, are often treated as en- emies"
 After asserting that the Filipinos uni forrlly acted upon the advice of the Americans and were informally recog- nized by them until Manila was cap tured, the memorial goes on to say "We can only attribute this sudden change to orders from Washington to American officials at Manila to avoid compromising the American govern ment by a recognition of the Filipino government
 After emphasizing the junta's "abso- lute confidence in President Mckinley and the people of the great republic, ," stating that tour protests are not prompted by animosity, but are direct ed against conditions existing at Ma nila and not against the American gov ernment and people, acknowledging tour gratitude to American arms for destroying the Spanish power in the Philippines" and expressing hope that the islands are not to be returned to Spain," the memorial concludes thus: s.We await the arbitrament of the peace commission with even greater interest than the Americans because it concerns our land our happiness, our freedom. In the meantime we shall pray for peace and perfect understanding with the Americans"

American Inspector of Meat Has Been
 Untrustwortsay.

Hamburg, Nov. 14.-The Hamburger Nachrichten, referring to the projected meat inspection bill, says: .aThe Amer- jeans ought to be glad that Germany forces them gradually to adopt her own methods of meat inspection. Hitherto American inspection had been untrust- worthy. So far as the American retali- ation is concerned, America will have to prove that poisonous meat is ex-s ported from Germany

Washington, Nov 14.--In some fig hres regarding receipts and eXpendit- ures in the island of Cuba sent to Washington by officers of the Cuban military commission it is estimated that upon assumption of control by the United States expenses now incurred each year under Spanish sovereignty, to the extent of $20 5O9, ,225, will cease. These figures show that the burdens of taxation upon the people of Cuba can be largely reduced under a form of gov ernment independent of Spain.

 ] Skaguay, Alaska, Nov. 7 via Victoria, [ B. C., Nov. 14-Returning klondikers arriving in this city to-day bring the news that the city of Dawson has been visited with a $5O0,OOO fine, in which for ty buildings were burned, including the new posto1flce building and some of the best buildings in the city. The fire took place on the morning of October l6. It started in the Green Tree saloon as the result of a row between two women of ! the town. Belle Mitchell threw light ed lamp at another woman. The lamp broke, the oil spread and in few sec onds the building was on fire. The fire started at 5:20 a. m. The fire of year ago was caused by the same woman, who threw a lamp at man with whom she had a quarrel. A month ago she almost burned her own place in Third avenue in Dawson by throwing lamp at a woman and nearly caused con- { migration by again lcsing her temper and yielding another lighted lamp. The news of the confagration was brought out by several of the miners who ar rived in this city. The steamer Ora left Dawson October 20.
 At the time the fire alarm sounded a light wind was blowing down the Yu- kon and the people at once saw that it would require quick work to save the town. The postoffice was the next building south of the Green Tree saloon and the work of getting the mail mat i ter out was quickly done. Although nearly all the mail was saved it is in great confusion. All that remains to show where formerly forty buildings stood are few blackaned logs. If about 5,o00 men had not worked like 1 trojans with wet blankets, buckets of water and axes and aided in the work ing of the fire apparatus the whole 4 town would have gone up in smoke. The Klondike Nugget says that the losses will be difficult to obtain, but a list is given of individual losses which foot up to $503, ,000. There is no insur- ance at Dawson, and the loss falls en- tirely on individuals. The miners now in Skaguay left Dawson on the steamer Osa and at White Horse transferred to the steamer Olive May and came to
 Bennett. From White Pass they came to this city on the railroad, which is 1 running two trains daily between this city and the Pass. Very little ice was found in the upper river, which is re- markable at this time of the. year. The l Osa is the last steamer of the season. If is said there is not enough lumber and window glass in Dawson to rebuild
 the burned district and that the people
 will have to live in tents for the rest of the winter.

THE REAL MANGO TRICK.
1t IL to Eat the Fruit without Ncccssi-
tating u Bath Afterward.

Some people take to olives, caviare,
and complicated cheese without any
preliminary training, by a sort Of in
stinct. They are SO very few that they
serve only as hinted proof OF the doc
trines of heredity and atavism. The
mango of the tropics falls in the same
class, a fact which Gen. Merritt's army
OF occupation is going to discover for
itself rs soon as 1t begins the soldiers
soulful investigation OF the indigenous
commissariat OF the Philippines. The
mango is of the size of large apple
and something the shape OF pear that
has turned somersault and has land
ed on the stem big end to. Its color is
a rich and dark green with q blotch OF
salmon on one side. 1t Is impossible
to bite into II as one would into pear
for two reasons: the skin Is too tough
and the stone is fully half as large as
the whole fruit. The only way Is to
nibble off the skin. for II Is too Juicy
to be pared; gnaw the skin of one side
until considerable portion is exposed
Of the red flesh. Then suck In the
juices and the meat together until the
stone presents itself. The next feat is
to get the stone and the other side Of
the fruit into the mouth while leav-
Ing the remainder OF the skin outside
and clear of the meat. In this ungrace-
ful operation one speedily learns that
the mango belongs to the natural order
OF clingstones. The remainder OF the
process is to eject the stone. which fs
an uncomfortably large mouthful.
When one has eaten all the mangos ne

sary to take bath and change the
clothing In order to get rid of the su-
perabundance OF juice and pulp which
will smear the face and daub the ap-
parel despite all precautions. AS to the
flavor OF the mango. and no one would
bother with the extremely sloppy fruit
II it were not for real enjoyment OF the
flavor. 1t is possible to make trial
trip. Set large clingstone peach to
soak over night in diluted turpentine
and the next morning it will satisfac-
torily suggest the first taste Of the
mango. The smack of turpentine and
resin is most prominent in the skin, but
it is quite marked In the juice and pulp.
After cultivating the taste most people
consider the mango the finest fruit of
the tropics. and recognize a dozen va
rieties by the varying strength of the
turpentine. But no amount of cultiva-
tion OF the taste will ever avail to solve
the real trick of the mango, that is. to
eat 1t without needing bath after
ward.

only at the final destination, con-
demned the vessels when there was
evidence OF an ultimate intention to
break the blockade. This decision rest
ed upon an old principle OF the English
prize courts. known as the doctrine OF
continuous voyages, according to which
the mere touching at an intermediate
port OF vessel engaged in an illegal
voyage could not break the continuity
OF the voyage. or remove the taint OF
fllegality. Hence, IL vessel cleared
from Liverpool with the intention OF
merely touching at Nassau, thence pro-
ceeding to Charleston. and II this in

the two voyages were held to be one,
and the condemnation followed.
Another course pursued by the block
ade running merchants was to send
their cargoes to Nassau, and there
transship them, sometimes directly
from vessel to vessel in the harbor.
sometimes after being landed on the
wharf, and then transported in a new
conveyance to the blockaded port. Re-
turn cargoes were transshipped in the
same way. This course had double
advantage. 1t made continuity OF trans
action much more difficult Of proof and
enabled those engaged in the trade to
employ two different classes of vessels
for service for which each was special

General Miles said:
Having spent some times with the
troops. during trying period OF nur-
ried preparations. am glad to say that
they are splendid body of men, OF
which the country may well be proud.
AS to the regulars, they are the nnest
corps in the world, without any eXcep-
tion, in physical development, etii-
cheney, experience discipline, marks

to make up firs,-class soldiers.
"Of course the volunteer army Is not
ms well equipped. Some of the states
sent men into the field In very good
condition. notably Massachusetts and
New York. Others sent their quotas
without arms, equipment or clothing.
They We're not soldiers at all, only en-
ploycd men. 1t takes time to make
soldiers of these men."
Secretary Alger said that he was
entirely satisfied with the condition of
the troops as reported by General Miles
and wished he had the means TO pro-
vide every one of the volunteer soldiers

joyed by the men at Tampa. General
Miles is yet to have II conference with

In the meantime the plans are NOV
ing steadily for sending further cxpc-
ditions both TO Porto Rico and Cuba.
There Is little likelihood that n second
