Welcomed by the State Department.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-The officials
at the state and war departments well
coined the notice sent to the Ameri-
can people of the falsity of the stories
describing the friction between the
Filipinos and the American forces in
Luzon. While the officials did not are
to discuss the matter for publication,
it was evident that the main source of
their satisfaction was the internal evil
dence contained in the document that
Aguinaldo had profited by the warn
ings of the American commanders and
had gracefully receGed from the ar
70 can't attitude assumed by him just
before Gen. Merritt left Manila for
Paris. While there is little in the Of
fetal records that tends to contradict
what the insurgent chief says, still it
must be recalled that both Gen. Otis
and Admiral Dewey in cable message
to Washington have pointed GU
threatening complications arising
from the attitude of the insurgents.

1t is the first series of examinations
on record in which more than so per
cent of the candidates were success
full, there being 81 applicants and 46
certificates issued. The surprising re-
suit is ascribed partly to the general
improvement in education, and partly
TO the change in the plan of examina-
tons, whereby applicants are allowed
TO choose five subjects, and take a
thorough examination on these, in
stead of the fifteen or twenty high
school or college subjects in a super
fetal examination, as used to be done.
