AN OLD-FASHIONED REMEDY
One Old boy Who Wns Cured by q
stick of Peppermint Candy Like
That of His Childhood.

They were two old boys with seanty
silver locks, and they had many other
things IN common. memories and Il host
of ehestnutty old stories, from which
they brushed the mold whenever they
met.

but they never wearied of telling them.
While there were few things they ae-

world and human nature.
Then one Of them became i'll. And

The Insurgent Leader Claims to
Have 100000 Men Available.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. %. = The
United States transport Rio de ia
metro, which arrived here today, brought
the following from Manila:
The Philippine congress has decided
that the Philippine republic will not
countenance any policy that may be
agreed upon whereby Spain will have
anything further to do with the ISL
ands, and will resist by force of arms
any such measure. A vote was taken
on the policy Of annexation to the
American republic, and annexation
was decided upon by a large majority,
some seven out Of eight voting in favor
of annexation. Aguinaldo now express
es himself as personally in favor of an
nexation, adding that he does not think
the natives generally will support such
a policy.
When interviewed, Aguinaldo stated
that his army consisted Of $1,000 insur-
gents, regularly armed and equipped
with modern weapons, and that he
had some 5000 prisoners Of war at this
time, including the larger portion now
being held in the vicinity Of Manila.
He stated that an army Of 100, eco could
easily be raised to fight for the cause
Of independence, adding that Indeed
the whole population is willing to fight
for the cause of independence and
would oppose any European power TAX
ing possession
When asked how 1t was that some
natives openly declare themselves In
favor of annexation to America, he
stated that natives who profess to
favor annexation are inslncere in what
they say. They are merely trying to
ascertain the general sentiment and
the intentions of the Americans He
expressed himself as entertaining the
greatest friendship for the American
people, adding that he hoped there
would be no trouble between the re-
public of the Philippines and the re-
public Of America. He entertains the
idea that America and the Philippines
are two sister republics, allied to-
gether and fighting common enemy
the Spaniards.
He thinks the American mission
here in these islands has been accom-
plished by the destruction Of the Span
1sh fleet and the forcible surrender of
the city Of Manila, and expects that
the Americans will soon withdraw
their forces, leaving the insurgents to
| control the islands
For some time past the insurgents
have been disarming Americans pass
ing through their lines, but Aguinaldo
disclaimed having authorized any such
conduct ON the part of his men.
1t is generally reported about Ma
| Mia that many insurgents are not in
| sympathy with Aguinaldo and do not
| include themselves among his follow
| ers.
| Aguinaldo denies having received any
order or request from Gen. Otis and
Admiral Dewey to remove his troops to
| a prescribed distance beyond the fixed
city limits of Manila and Cavite, and
| further declined to state whether he
| would remove his troops if so re-
Quested.
