II the New York Journal is to be be-
lieved, Governor Clough of Minnesota
has poor opinion of the federal gov
eminent for the way it handled the IN
dian outbreak in his state, and has tele-
graphed to Washington that the next
time sucn>an outbreak occurs, he will
call for volunteers, arm the men with
such weapons as he can find and send
them to settle the Indian troubles after
their own IDEAS which means, prob
ably, war of determination. In the
meantime he says that the federal
government can go to the devil" There
is more of western breeziness than good
sense about the latter remark.

Aguinaldo telegraphed the pope that
the insurgents would respect all relig-

is playing double, or he is not in touch
with the men under him 1t was pretty
generally understood, early in Dewey's
visit to the island, that the insurgents
would demand the expulsion of the
friars from the island and if memory
fails not, that request was publicly
made, it being asserted that the monks
stirred up trouble, while now Gen. Otis
is investigating numerous reports that
the friars are being killed indiscrimin-
ately when they fall into the hands of
the rebels There is discrepancy
somewhere, and Gen. Otis is sure to find
and reetify it. Aguinaldo had the stat
ure of a giant early in the war. He is
a pigmy now.

The question of bounty of these men

that is greatly misunderstood. The
men don't get a bounty now. but soon

Of the Legislature there will be some
move made to take care of the bounty
question.
The long expected pay rolls of the
