cured pledges that the United States
would not leave him in the lurch by
returning the Philippine Island to the
Spaniards.
Referring to the Spanish tales of al

Four Americans were killed and
several wounded by the Spaniards in a
night attack on those who had
landed at Guantanamo last Friday,
among them being a surgeon. Many
Confederate surgeons were killed dur
ing the war between the States. In
deed there's risk to everybody engaged
in war, even in apparently the safest
positions, and that risk is infinitely
greater to those engaged in war on for
eign territory, where there is almost as
much danger in the rear as there is in
the front. And then, too, no sane man
believes that the black reconcentradoes

nominally at least commenced, have
been helped in the slightest degree by

REV. DR.. BARR of Richmond, in his

that there has been change in its pro-

we are preparing to wage q war OF con-
quest, rapine, devastation and revenge"
