PHILIPPINES FOR AMERICA.
The Trend of an Interview With ths
Archbishop of the Archipelago
Prefer to Become Americans.

Manila, Sept. 17.-In an interview
here Archbishop Dozal, of the Philip.
pine Islands, said:
Il earnestly hope the islands will
not remain Spanish, because they are
now SO strong that such a course
would inevitably cause appalling
bloodshed. The reconquest of the ma
tives is impossible until after years of
the most cruel warfare.
Hopes the Islands will Not Become Inde-
dependent.
He also expressed the hope that the
islands would not become absolutely
independent, because it is certain that
dissensions would occur which would
result in incessant strife and lapse
into barbarism and the natural indo-
lence of the tropical race. The only
hope, the archbishop said, was that
strong western power would now
intervene. The danger was that the
people were intoxicated, vainglorious
and restless.
The Religious Orders Must Go.
1t is undeniable that the religious
orders must go, because the whole
people had determined to abolish them
now that they were able to render
their retention impossible. He lays the
chief blame upon the Dominicans,
Augustinians and Franciscans, the
richest organizations, and next upon
the Benedictines and Capuchins. which
are of less Importance The Jesuits,
Archbishop Dozal says, are compare
lively blameless. He added that the
rival organizations quarrel among
themselves, intrigue, act unworthily
and slander their opponents, thus in
creasing the general disfavor.
The provipeials, who are approxi-
mately equivalent to archdeacons, are
mainly responsible. They are utterly
beyond the control of the archbishop,
who denies possessing much power.
Few Spanish Priests Remain.
The total number of Spanish priests
IN the Philippines before the war was
about 1900, but lately every depart
ing steamer has taken so or 100 of
them away and now barely 500 of
them remain.
that the reason that the arch bishop
hopes for the expulsion of the friarly
orders, is that they have grown too
powerful for him and that he wishes to
strengthen himself. Several respon-
sible Spaniards assured the correspon
dent that they would refuse to remain
here if Spain was reinstated in the
control of the stations.
Spanish Soldiers Refuss to Serve Again
Annexati0nist Majority.
The Spanish soldiers refuse to serve
again, and the Spanish officers are ut
terly disgusted with the rottennesss
of Spain's government and prefer to
become Americans.
The annexationists have majority
of II in the national assembly, but the
discussion of the subject has not been
finished.

TIGER AND BULL.
4 Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
BADLY Beaten.

4 Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
BADLY Beaten.
The Paris letter Of the London Post
gives details Of an extraordinary enter
tainment given at the Plaza de Madrid
in the presence of !, 800 spectators. This
was a combat between a royal Bengal
tiger and an Andalusian fighting bull
The tiger, Cesar, was full grown
brute belonging to Spessardi, the train
er, who had never been able to do any
thing with it and had, indeed, once
nearly fallen victim to its ferocity.
He sold it for G, 600 francs to the director
of the plaza.
a cage II yards square by IN height
had been erected in the middle of the
arena, and the animals were brought on
in vans, the bull being the first to be
released into the inclOsure. The brute
Immediately began 10 run round and
round his prison, believing and throw
ing up sand and gravel with his hoots.
The instant the tiger entered the cage
he gave a roar and bounded on the bull
avoiding the horns, and fixed on his
TANKS and belly with both teeth and
claws. The bull remained still for a
few seconds, and then seemed to be sink
ing backward to the ground. The spec
tators thought that all was over, but
the tiger let go for a second to take an
other hold, and in the brief interval
was kicked over by the wild plunges Of
the bull. Before the tiger had time to
recover the bull was on him, and, sink
ing his horns into the striped hide, 1t
tossed the tiger into the air. This was
repeated four or five times, the bull
varying his tactics occasionally by bang
ing his adversary against the bars
When the bull stopped, the tiger lay
limp on the ground, and the crowd,
thinking he was dead, cried, Bravo,
tOrol"
The bull stood stamping for mo-
ment in the middle Of the cage, and
then, seeing the tiger did not move, APP
preached and smelled him. But Cesar
was only shamming death and seized
the bulls muzzle i'll his powerful jaws
SO the animal could not move. Eventu-
ally, however, he was released, and att
or stamping furiously on the tiger again
caught him on his horns. This time the
tossing, stamping and banging appar-
emily really ended in Cesar's death.
The cage was then opened and the bull
rushed ont and back to his stable. For
precaution's sake the tigers van was
brought up, aud, to the general sur
prise, Cesar rose to his feet, glanced
round as if afraid the bull was still
there, and then bounded into'the van.
The tiger was found to have five ribs
broken, besides having number of
wounds from the bulls horns. It's said
that all wild animals-Jears, lions,
panthers and tigers-fare badly in COM
bat with the Spanish fighting bull.
Man and the elephant are the only sure
victorS over these active and ferocious
beasts

The Trees OF Paris.

Paris is probably the only city in the
world which has trees that bloom twice
q year habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are II, 600 Of them
planted III the squares and along the
boulevards, and 10000 buttonwoodS.
The trees in Paris are numbered, just
like the people, the cabs, the animals,
the lampposrs and the matches. These
horse chestnuts have only been doing
this trick for about five years. and only
some of them have made practice Of
it. These die, or apparently die, in the
latter part Of July, and all the leaves
fall off. 4 month or so afterward they
all come out into flower again and little
green leaves shoot forth continually I'M
til they are nipped by the first frost.
There is a reason for this, and the sci
entists worked over the matter for a
long time to be able to explain it.
Briefly and unscientifcally the trees
lose their leaves because they are at
tackled by a little fungus which is blown
upon them by the wind; then, being
still full of sap, they start to put forth
leaves all over again.

Easily Enough.

Here is 4 Sioux City I2.) Sunday
school story:
They were studying in the catechism
about the wonderful greatness and pow
er of God. Can God do everything"
asked the teacher 1t was generally Cd
mitted that he could. Then the teacher
rather mischievously propounded site
kler perhaps as test of faith. Gould
God make two and two equal five?" he
asked. The query rather startled the
little girls in the class, and their faces
took OH a worried, puzzled expression.
They had never thought Of such thing
as that, and it looked as if their faith
was wavering. The teacher waited with
a rather amused smile on his face. Then
up shot a little hand. well, " asked
the teacher, what do you think about
it:' eyes, sir, he can, was the prompt
and certain response. Now it was the
teachers turn to look surprised. "Well,
how can God make two and two equal
five:'' "By adding one" was the tri-
umphant answer, and the mischievous
teacher couldn't dispute it.-SiouX City
