Your General,
BASILIO AGUSTIN Y CAVILA.

The foregoing manifesto was the source of
indignation to every man in the fleet and was ans
wered by a speech by the editor of the Bounding
Billow of which however, for lack of space, III
only give extracts. J.C.
''Shipmates-You ALL no doubt, have seen and
read the cowardly attack, made by the Spanish
Governor at Manila, on the glorious Flag and
Country we serve. In il he questions our
bravery our birthrights, the honesty of our
government and claims that we have no history.
What do the acts of our forebearers represent ?
What was the glorious fight they made for
Independence in 1776, when father, and
son left the plow in the furrow and
shouldered their muskets for liberty, while
wives, mothers and daughters cheered them on
to victory? What was the war of 1872 and the
Mexican war? History all, and honorable. I'm
stained history at that.
What does he mean by saying we are "a
cowardly nation" "Old Glory" the dear old
flag we serve and love, harbors no towards.
Wherever seen it is recognized, as the emblem of
freedom and honor, the standard of nation of
heroes and though he may pirate and proclaim
from now until "hades freezes over" he will never
make any but the most benighted or bigoted be-
leVe that he is even sane. The sight of our flag
is like breath of pure fresh air. It's colors are
significant; the red is embematic of the blood
of heroes shed in defense of our country; the
white the purity of our aims and objects and the
starspangled blue the Heaven we look to for
guidance and strength.
Then this Spanish Solomon goes on to inform
the brave muchachos under his sovereign COM
mand that we are gang of cut throats. Pro-
testant heretics who will convert them 'willy-
nilly,' into a belief of our faith; that we are
marauders and thieves; that we are the scour-
ings of the earth's cutters, "social excrecences
soft impeachment and lastly that we have
driven them on to war, manufacturing causes
and insulting them because we know or rather
thought they were weak.
Shipmates you all know what has brought on
this war. The barbarous inhumanities practic-
ed in the Island of Cuba right before our eyes,
Old men and women cruelty tortured and slain,
babies murdered their mothers breasts
thousands of peaceful homes ruined and de
stroyed by these Spanish iends, the dear old
stars and stripes tramped in the mud of Span
sh streets and last, worst of all the tragedy that
has been too lately enacted to be forgotten, the
destruction Of the Maine" when brothers,

NO LEGISLATION NEEDED.
Senator Pritchard Recommends the Ex-
tension of the spoils System.

tension of the Spoi1s system.
Washington, March 9.-Senator Pritch-
ard chairman of the committee on civil
service, to-day presented the report of
that committee on the recent inyestiga-
ton of the classifier service. embodying
the conclusions of the committee. These
conclusions are divided under two heads,
as follows:
.'First-That the executive has the pow
err to make such notifications as may be
found advisable, and therefore no legis-
lation is needed.
.'Second-The committee is agreed that
the classification has been too extensive
and that certain places that have been
classified should be excluded from classi-
fication SO that appointments may be
made. not through examination, but at
the pleasure of the bureau.
THE committee, therefore, is of the
opinion that the president should make
certain notifications in the existing civil
service rules and should restore to the
heads of departments and the heads of
bureaus the appointments of certain
classes of officials, The committee. how
ever, recognizes that its province in this
is purely advisory, since it has no legisia,
ton to propose"

San Francisco, March 9.-Two or
three more hard knocks such as the
pencilers at Oakland have received dur
ing the past three days will cause many
of them to desert their blocks and take
advantage of the present low rates to
their Eastern homes. Five favorites
and one heavily backed second choice
got all the money and the talent went
home light in heart and heavy in
pocket.
The feature of the afternoons races
was the splendid performance of the
Burns & Waterhouse colt, Traverser, in
the fourth race at a mile. With 124
pounds up the colt covered the circuit
In the remarkable time of 1:40A. The
track was not at the best. and the race
makes Traverser most formidable

tered with 103 pounds. The colt won
by five lengths from such a good ami

the two-weeks meeting that closed to-
day. The attendance has been much light
er and betting men have in the main held
aloof. The features of the meeting have
been the success of the corrigan horses.
the brilliant riding OF Tod Sloan and the
cleanup by the Montana men on Friday
last when Twinkle Twink. Punter and
Ostler Joe won thousands for Cameron
Frank and Randall, as wired exclusively
to the Standard on the day the races
were won. During the two weeks the
Corrigan horses won no less than 16
events two of them at least being stake
races.
Tod Sfoan's record since his arrival
from England will surely increase the
demand for his services, great as has
been that demand in the past Sloan has
had n mounts in the past three weeks.
He has finished first on 10. second on IL,
third on two, and has only been unplaced
once. The Montana people have profited
much by Sloan's riding for he has plotted
a number of the Montana cracks that
were heavily backed to victory. Tod has
not let down single peg IN his style of
living. He has sunny rooms galore at
the Baldwin and has furnished them in
a style that discounts the boudoirs of

these facts. While expressing sym
pathy with the poor and homeless of
the country, the letter opposed the free
home clause, saying it would in effect
be the taxing of the entire people for
the benefit of the few.
Mr.. Eddy, rep, Mimi, who advocated
the Tree home clause, made a vigorous
speech in support OF it. He referred to
the beneficent results of the general
homestead act of 1863, under which a
million happy homes had been built up
in this country. When the Indian res
ervations We're ceded to the govern
ment they became part of the public
domain, but when thrown open to set
Element the settler was required to pay
$1.25 per acre. This burden imposed
upon the settler, time shown, was
more than he was able to bear, and
year after year congress had extended
the time of payment. as 1t was pro-
posed to do in the house provision. for
which it was proposed to substitute
this free home provision. When he re-
ferred to the Oklahoma free home bill,
passed largely through the agency of
Delegate Flynn, Mr.. Steele, rep. Ind,
asked him IL Mr.. Flynn had not been
beaten after securing this great boon to
the Oklahoma settlers.
He was" answered Mr.. Eddy, but
you do not adopt this amendment and
redeem the pledge made in the repub-
lican platform, many of you will be
left at home at the next election"
Mr.. Eddy said that much opposition
had been fomented against this prop
osition by the agricultural colleges of
the country, who feared their trust
funds would be threatened. He de-
clared that the fears were groundless.
These colleges were not dependent upon
an annual sale of public lands.
The announcement that the president
had signed the national defense bill
made by Executive Clerk Pruden,
which interrupted the debate. was
greeted with round of applause.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Eddy's re-
marks the committee rose. The house
nom concurred in the senate amend
ments to the District of Columbia APP
preparation bill and at so o'clock p.
m adjourned
