THEY WILL GOVERN EASILY
Spanish Authority Says Americans
will Have No Trouble.
MONKS TO BE FEARED.
Insurgents Are Actuated by Hatred
of Spain and Have No
Fixed Object.

New York, Dee. ia special from
Madrid says: One of the best-informed
men III Spain on the subject of the Philip
pine archipelago, having lived in the Phil
ippincs for a long time and being per-
sonany acquainted with the leaders of the
present instruction, thinks the Ameri-
cans will not meet with much difficulty in
establishing their dominion over the archi-
pelago.
In regard to the monks, of whom he
spoke without luminosity, he thought they
constituted 4 power in the country which
could be utilized, but their sphere of ac-
ton, he thought, should be limited to pure
ly religious and moral functions.
SPAIN he said, has not lost much in
losing the Philippines. Instead OF a
Spanish colony it was a monastic colony,
the enormous profits of which went 10
Rome and into the hands of the chiefs of
the various orders which exploited the
archipelago.
There are many who think that the
origin of all the insurrection of the Iaga-
los came from the creation by the monks
of universities at Manila, which distrib-
uted every year Il great quantity OF oil
plOmaS to the natives, who thus regard
ed themselves as young literary men, but
who had more arrogance than knoWl-
of the Tagalos with the theory of Roman
law and the philosophy Of st. Augustine
and St. Thomas.
Masonic lodges and Spanish liberal
democratic newspapers quickly trans
formed this kind of learning into revolu-
tiOnary aspira tiOns and protests against
an insUppOrtable theocratic domination. 1t
is very probable that a few schools of
the arts and crafts or agriculture would
have produced absolutely the contrary re-
suits.
The powers of the Tagalos in COMPARE
son with the Americans is much eXag-
gerated. Aguinaldo and the other chiefs
have not behind them a people anxious for
their liberty and struggling for it. The
natives, who are following Aguinaldo, are
generally native soldiers, who have been
drilled by the Spanish. and Indians who
have adhered to the insurrectional move
ment without any fixed idea of definite
object.
But principally, there is at the bottom
of this insurrection Il morbid hatred of the
Spanish, who have ruled over them so
many centuries with an ill-considered and
arrogant domination, and also Il hatred of
the absorbing power of the monks.
If the Americans endow the Philip
pines with a prudent degree of liberty they
will soon be the masters morally and ma
terially of the islands, than which no
country ever had a colony with more
glorious future before it,

HE SWORE VENGEANCE.
Terrible Experiences Of Ripon
Man Haunted by a
Criminal.

Denver, Col, Dec. ID Special My
ron Root, formerly Of Ripon, Wis, now a
business man in Denver, Col, has been
the victim of a series of prosecutions by
criminals, the recital of which reads like a
chapter of fiction. -Four times desperate
attempts have been made to kill Mr..
Root: four times the thugs have been
fooled, and four times their intended vic
tim has been uncomfortably close to death,
his escape III each instance being miracu-
lOuS in its nature
Years ago, in the little town of RiDon,
Wis, where Myron Root went to school.
was set Of boys who later on grew into
desperate characters more familiar with
crime than with the pursuits of law-abid-
ing men. Two of these James Devanny
and John Bittle, became the head of a
gang OF thieves, who, starting out for ad-
venture, developed into hardened crimi-
nails who held life at small figure and
who never hesitated between it and the
successful issue Of their deeds. To add
to the romance of the fast-folIoUinr
events, James Devanny had saved the
lie OF Myron Roots brother when they
were children. and this made a bond of
friendship between them
Root was knitted by one of them while
they were robbing a store in Ripon. A
few weeks after this a Well-known man
i'll the town was robbed and received an
injury which caused him to commit sui
eide. This aroused the people to such a
pitch OF excitement that large reward
was offered for the capture of the Grim
mails. Mr.. Root gave his assistance to
young man who Wenl systematically to
work to run down the gang though not
taking any active part in the plan himself.
A scheme was laid in which the four
boys were made to betray themselves and
three were arrested. Devanny ESCAPED.

DECLINED TO TALK.
Mem bers of the Peace Com mis-
sion Refuse to be Interviewed
on the Treaty.

Southampton, England, Dec. Ito
the interviewers who besieged the Ameri-
can peace commissioners here today, be-
fore they sailed for New York on board
the American line steamer st. Louis, the
commissioners said they could not dis
cuss the terms of the treaty of peace with
Spain.
Whitelaw Reid and Judge Day were
much interested in the interview of the
Manila correspondent of the Associated
Press with Rear-Admiral Dewey, but
they would not discuss either that matter
Or the protest made by Agoncillo, the rep
resentative of Aguinaldo, the Philippine
leader.
Judge Day said the treaty of peace
would probably be delivered to President
Mckinley on December a, but he added,
it was impossible to say whether it would
be presented to the present Senate or to
that which comes in office in March next.
This the judge added is a matter which
the President will decide.

ODDITIES IN NECKLACES.
They Are of All Sorts, from the Thin
Gold Chain to Diamonds,

Necklaces of all sorts are worn with the
low-cut gowns. The strings of colored
glass beads have found many admirers,
and notice that they are being worn with
day as we'll as evening gowns. The little
thin gold "baby chains" with a locket or
pendant are taken out from among the
keepsakes or supplied by the jewelers..
London fashion writers tell US that brace
lets are again worn, and that an English
woman feels that her evening toilet is in
complete without pair Of the handsome
bracelets. But bracelets at their best are
unbecoming things when worn at the
wrist, and the American woman is sensi-
BILE enough to follow no fashion but the
prettiest. The wearing of a black velvet
band held by ieweled clasp and worn
half way between the elbow and shoulder
is a fetching fashion and one much fol-
lowed. And another quaint style is the
narrow black velvet ribbon about the
neck, from which hangs Turquoise set
or blue-enameled locket The black vel
vet makes the white neck and arm look

1t is very appropriate that the gold
bugs of the country should contribute one
million dollars of their gold to make a
lfe-sized gold statue Of Mckinley, as is
proposed, for the French exposition.
There is precedent for this action. 1t
can be found in the Book OF Exodus,
when Moses was on Mount Sinai. The
Jews at the base Of the mountain made a
golden calf for their god and worshipped
it The good book also tells us what be-
came of these fellows-they were con
demned to wander forty years III the will
derness before one OF them was permit
ted to enter the Promised Land. If this
statue is made and the designs of the adj
ministration as to currency reform are
carried out, the statue of Nelson should
be removed from Trafalgar Square, Lon
don, and McKinley's golden type put in
its place, for through him Great Britain
would lave gained greater victory than
that of Nelson at Trafalgar Willapa
