THE coming of Admiral Dewey to Ma
Mia was the greatest day in the history
OF the Philippine Islands and the heart of
every native of the island rejoiced and was
glad at his grand victory. 1t meant the
downfall of Spain in the east the same
as the destruction of Cerveras feet ended
her mISrule in the western hemisphere
The Philippine leaders have always had
complete and thorough understanding from
that day with Admiral Dewey and the
American officers, and have kept faith with
them L believe that the reports of the
American officers will show that Aguina!do
has acquiesced in every request made bv
the American officers and has aided them
and always been regarded as an alIv All
this talk of FfliDinos attacking unarmed
S2aniards and shooting them in the streets
is false. We are making civilized warfare
We are obeying the dictates of the Ameri-
cans in the island. OF course outside of
Manila we have our government and the
Americans are not there in control but
it is our purpose always to maintain friend
ly relations with the United States.
We consider, however, that inasmuch a 8
our country is to be treated in the Deace
conference, the Philippine Islands are to
be the subject of the greatest discussion:
that they are, in fact the only subject
Upon which there may be a lengthy dis
agreement, and that should at least be
heard. As [ have already stated We would

Paris commission. but that being impos-

that body. 1t is altogether probable that
the Spdniards will contend that we have

inCes are not in revolt but neither Of these
statements can be proven, and we want to
be there to disprove them, as well as many
others that VIII come up, and upon which

AguinaIdo's Government.

THE government of Aguinaldo is thor
oughly organized through the islands in
every province and territory, and the en-
tire population which is free to express
an opinion or sentiment is loyal to our
cause Every island has its representa-
tive in the congress, and affairs could soon
be placed upon firm and solid basis with
the Spaniards away from u.s. Agunaldo
has for many years been the leader of the
Philippines, and is dearly beloved by his
people They regard him as their liberia
tor, as their chief and friend. Not a Phil
ippine but when he retires to bed at night
concludes his prayer with petition for
the safety of Aguinaldo and for the well
fare of his government

That he said, ''is my purpose in Wash
lngton at this time, as is well known and
failing in that ] shall submit another propo-
sition that representatives of our govern
ment be allowed to be heard before the
commission in order that We may refute
any unjust statements of claims which may
be made by Spain's commissioners. 1t is
my firm belief that this last request will at
least be granted, if, indeed, the first one is
not.
Il am afraid that many Americans have
formed an erroneous idea of the Philippine
Islands and their people. Prior to the out
break of the SDanish-American war the
American people knew little or nothing of
us or our islands, despite the fact that our
territory is larger than many of your states
combined, and few Americans have ever
PAID us visit You were led to believe
that we were a savage or barbarous race,
half civilized. but with the arrival of your
army and your navy new impression
must have been formed by those who have
had an opportunity 10 acQuaint themselves
with us.
we have 1900 900 of people on our is
lands, and all of them true and patriotic
to the cause of their country and desirous
of Independence. You have heard little of
US, and the American people know nothing
of our struggles and trials which we have
endured under the rule of Spain, and our
many efforts. futile and unsuccessful, to
throw off the calling yoke of that country
whose colonial government has been the
sympathetic of any in the history of the
world You Americans know of Cuba for
that unhappy island is at your very DOORS
there have been many of your people who
have visited the island and seen and heard
the stories of the unhappy lot of the Gu
bans under Spanish rule. Cubans have
come to this country and told you of their
sufferinGs, but the Filipinos have never be-
fore been heard. Do not mistake me in
what l say. am a friend and have been
sympathizer with Cuba from the first
and / do not wish to beiittle the struggle
of her people for independence but they
have not been alone.
we are off in a corner of the world
where civilization, progress and advance
ment have in a large measure fingered,
and the chief reason why the FiliDinos
nave made no greater progress is the fact
that we have always been subjected to
Spanish rule. Yet are a civilized peo-
pie and anxious to advance With an
opportunity afforded US by independence
we can in q few years reach the standard
which has been attained by Japan since
she orened her ports and began to trans
act business with the world. Our trade
has almost entirely been with Spain
which, being backward, has made US more
so.

CRUISER MONTGOMERY
Arrives at Charleston Direct From Mas
 sau After Rough Voyage.

Charleston, &. C., Oct. 2S.--The cruiser Montgomery arrived off Charleston harbor at o'clock today, and after a brief pause at quarantine came up to the city and an- chored off the custom house wharf. Com mander George A. Converse and his crew had a rough passage from Nassau, en- countering head winds and high seas, but the ship took it all without any trouble.
 Some weeks ago the Montgomery was ordered to Charleston to be present during the fall festival but a little later the ves- sel was given special orders to proceed to San Domingo, carrying a party of com missoners from New York. The cruiser was expected to bring President Heureaux, MT. Smith M. Weed, of New York and other commissioners back with her. but at Nassau, the executive of San Domingo left the warship for a private yacht and went back home.

Garnner Defeats Kelly.

New York, Octobers.2S.-oscar Gardner, the "Omaha Kid" knocked out Sammy Kelly of this city, in the fourteenth round of what was to have been twenty-five round fight at 116 pounds before the Lenox Athletic club tonight. Gardner proved himself to be Kelly's superior in hard hit ting and bulldog tenacity. Kelly un- doubtedly was the better ring general, but it was a case of boxer against fighter, and the fighter won. Gardnet left himself wide open and drew Kelly's leads only to counter them with jabs, chop blows and right swings which played havoc with Kelly's usually natty appearance.
 When Kelly was taken to his corner after being counted out he complained of his left side and said that he thought some of his ribs had been broken in the third round.

AMERICANS WILL
 STAND AS UNIT Solid Front Will Be Presented on
 Philippine Question. MEMORANDUM ON SUBJECT Drawn Up to Be Presented to the Span iards at the Joint Meeting on Mon day-Final Instructions From
 Washington Expected.
MEMORANDUM ON SUBJECT

Paris, Oct. 2S.-The American peace com missioners, at their session today, drew up a memorandum on the subject of the Phil ippine Islands which it is expected they will place before the Spanish commission CTS at the joint session which is to take place on Monday next
 The formation is based on the crystalized judgment of the five American commission ers gained each for himself, from the con ditions presented in careful examination of many persons and papers acquainted with and bearing upon the Philippines.
 Whether or not there be divergent views among the American commissioners they will stand as a unit before the Spaniards. Whether differences of views may have existed or shall in future exist, the entire commission will array itself firmly behind and in support of the preponderating opin- ion therein. This statement may at this hour, be accepted as quelling any rumor that resignation might follow any mem ber's variance of opinion from that. of his American colleagues.
 Each member of the American commits sion has separately formulated his views regarding the Philippines in his own terms and all have been forwarded to Washing ton. The transmission has been mailed and cabled. The individual expression of views on the Philippines has thus been forwarded in order that President McKin- ley might have the advantage not only of the conclusions of each commissioner, but the added advantage of each commits sioner's d!ction and personal views in the determination of the ultimate instructions or advice to the commission.
 The Americans are expected to present an expression of their expectations as to the control, disposition and government of the Philippines at next Mondays joint session, and they will look for final counsel from Washington on the subject tomor- row. A report from Madrid via a New York newspaper reached here tonight (Friday) to the effect that the Spanish peace commissioners will retire, protesting from Paris, because the Americans disre- gard the Spanish propositions. The cor respondent of the Associated Press sub mitted the report promptly to member of the Spanish commission, who declared 1t 'stuff," and authorized a denial

PROCLAMATION
 OF THANKSGIVING The President Sets Aside Nov. "A as a Day of Rejoicing. OUR BOUNTIFUl BLESSINGS Behoove Us to Give Thanks to AL mighty God for That Which He Has

OUR BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS

Washington, October 2S.-The president, following Thanksgiving proclamation:
 "A Proclamation
 By the President of the United States. 'The approaching November brings to lowed by time and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks to AL mighty God for all the blessings He has vouchsafed to us during the past year.
 Few years in our history have afford ed such cause for thanksgiving. We have been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade and commerce have been wonderful ly increased, our public credit has been inn proved and strengthened, all sections of our common country have been brought together and knitted into closer bonds of national purpose and unity.
 'The skies have been for time dark ened by the cloud of war, but as we were compelled to take up the sword in the cause of humanity, we are permittetd to
 
 duration and the losses we have had to mourn, though grievous and important, have been so few, considering the great results accomplished, as to inspire us with gratitude and praise to the Lord of Eosts We may laud and magnify His holy name that the cessation of hostlities came so soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that attend pro- tracted war.
 "I therefore invite all my fellow-citizens those at home well as those who may be at sea or sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of November, as a part of Ma tfonal Thanksgiving, to come together in their several places of worship, for a ser vice of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of the year; for the midness of the season and the fruitful ness of the soil, for the continued prosper ity of the people, for the devotion and valor of our countrymen, for the glory of our victory and the hope of a righteous peace, and to pray that the Divine guid- ance which brought us heretofore to safety and honor may be graciously con- tinued in the years to come.

insist that the investments of her citi- zens in such securities are made good. The state department has no information as to the amount of these municipal lia- bilities.
 Secretary Wilson brought up at the cab inet session the fact that Blanco is still charging s10 a head for beef cattle going into Cuban ports controlled by the Span iards, while the United States is admitting beef cattle free of duty to ports controlled by American officials. The cabinet con- cluded that it has no power at present to change this state of affairs and that Blan- co must bear the responsibility As soon as the United States takes possession of various ports, however, this will be changed. Some of the ports near Ha- vana will be opened to the free entry of beef cattle and other things and that may result in benefit to Havana.

 Dr. Craig expressed the decided opinion that common house flies are capable of providing a decided source of disease in- lection, and he introduced meteorological tests showing that they carried typhoid germs upon their feet He also said that he taxidermized a number of flies which had been placed on sugar impregnated with the germ, and had procured from them a pure typhoid bacillus culture.

Heir to Vast Estate

New York, October 2S.-Walter Brown Holt, aged 52, an ex-soldier of the United States army and a claimant to the i'm mense Holt estate in England, is dead at his home in this city of bronchial pneu- monia- For ten years he had served in the Fourth United States cavalry and for the four succeeding years in the Sixth United States infantry. He was member of the relief forces on the way to reinforce Gen eral Custer at the time of the massacre, and he also saw service against Sitting Bull in the Black Hills. He was honorably discharged from the army in 1883. He was grandson of Stephen B. Holt, who con structed the United States hotel in this city, and was one of the claimants of the estate that had been in chancery for about 200 years, and is estimated by some to approximate $SO,oO0,oOO in value.

Creek Overdowed

General Boynton and MT. Betts who had both been concerned in the location of the pipe line admitted that there had been one occasion when Cave Spring Creek had over- flown and broken a dam, thus throwing its water into the main stream above the in- take; but they explained that this freshet had occurred at night when the pumps were shut down and no water was being taken in They called attention to the rapidity of the flow and to the depth of the stream and urged the impossibility of in- lection from this source. The inspectors listened attentively to all that was said, but naturally they were conservative Tn their expressions. General Wilson gave especial attention to the question as an engineering problem, and while he refused to allow himself to be quoted It was eVi- dent from the interest he manifested and the expressions he dropped that he was impressed with the strong improbaoillty, if not the impossibility, of infection from this source. It was also equally evident that majority of the commission formed the same opinion. They noted especially the fact of the larger volume Of water In the main stream and that the small creek was filled with back water for several hun dred feet above the mouth.

SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY
Vas Given Careful Attention by the
 Investigating Commissioners.
sTERNBERG AND LETTER HOSPITALS
Were Commended in Regard to Sanita- ton and Equipment-Dr. Clifford De- nies Sensational Stories About
 Treatment of Patients.

Chattanooga, Oct. 2S.-The war investi- inspecting the site of Camp Thomas in Chickamauga park under the guidance of General Boynton, General A. P. Stewart, a member of the Chickamauga Park com mission, and E. E. Betts, the engineer of the commission.
 The inspection began at Lyttle station, and covered all points of interest in the park and near its borders which have been in any way involved in the controversy concerning the sanitation of the camp, in- cluding Sternberg and Letter hospitals; the various springs from which the water was secured by the troops, including the la nous Crawfish spring, and the principal points on Chickamauga creek, at which the water of the pipe line supply was taken out
 Especial attention was given to this lat ter place because of the criticisms that have been made upon this source of the camps water supply. They found the in- take pipe submerged about twenty rect above the mouth of a tributary creek, lo- cally known as Cave Spring creek, which drained the camp. The charge had been made that the water from the tributary stream had contaminated the pipe water, being carried back into 1t by means Of eddies. and in one case by overflow after freshet.

Hospitals Commended.

There were many expressions of com mendation of the methods followed at Sternberg hospital, and General Dodge was heard to remark that it was pity to have to leave an institution so well equipped. They found only fifty-eight patients in the hospital, and most of these were convales- cent. All were housed in wooden pavilions, the tents being vacated. MT. Clifford, in command of the hospital said it would soon be abandoned. The commission also gave attention to the proximity of the various camps to one another, and the depth and location of the sinks. The conclusion seemed quite general that many of the reg iments were thrown more closely together than they should have been, and this fault could have been avoided by moving, there was, in the opinion of at least some of the commission, sufficient space that was not occupied for the accommodation of many thousands more troops.
 There were also many of the sinks found to have been nearer to the tents than proper ideas of sanitation encourage, and in some cases the character of the sur face was found to be such as to warrant the conviction that the sinks were shal- lower than they should have been, but this was true only of parts of the camp
 After concluding inspection of the camp, Major Clifford, who had been before the commission before, was asked to make a statement concerning some criticisms of the hospital made in Vermont newspapers by Frank A. Bailey, who had spent six weeks in the hospital nursing his brother.
 Tried to Kill Patients.
 When he returned home he wrote an ar- ticle, saying, among other things that he had heard physicians in the hospitals tell attendants to give their attention to pa- tients who had a chance to recover, and not to nurse those who were sure to die, in the presence of those designated as of the latter class, and that he had heard other physicians direct nurses to admin ister ice cold water to fever stricken men, with the view of finishing their patients. Dr. Clifford pronounced as false all the statements made.
 D-. Charles F. Craig, bacteriologist of Sternberg hospital, was also examined. He was questioned especially with reference to the water supply of the camp, and he expressed the opinion that the water taken from Chickamauga creek was purer than that in the wells and springs of the grounds.
 He had made two analyses of the water from the river, one before the July freshet and the other after it, and had found it
