We Must Take All or None.

Tacoma, Wash Oct. 9.-JApanese
papers strongly favor the retention
of the Philippines by the United
States. The following editorial
statement from the japan Herald is
similar to tho utterances OF many
Japanese papers:
"McKinleys tentative suggestion
that Luzsn only could be retained
does not commend itself to the
majority. If the United States takes
Luzon and keep the door of trade
opened upon it, while the Spanish
maintain their own monopolistic
tariff on the other islands, constant
friction, clashing and upheaval would
surely result.
"Any suggested compromise is
impossible or will prove unstable.
II the United States should content
themselves with q coaling station
their position might be tenable, but
any extensive foothold and an at.
tempted government on one island
or part of it will mean endless dis
turbaBce ana ultimately force the
United States to take and rule the
whole group"

Monday | received a letter from
Lee Foster, Company b, end Mo-,
Camp Hamilton, as follows: Do not
know whether we are going to stay
or not, but it looks like we were.
They are building bath houses and
fixing up for winter. Some think we
will go to Ga, or South Carolina for
winter quarters. Does not look like
the boys would be mustered out
soon. There are ten regiments here
besides the engineer corps and the
signal corps, also a recruiting Office
for regulars; they will not let any of
the end Mo boys enlist, they say We
have job for two years. This is a
nicer camp than we had in Ga, the
people treat US better, we are get
ting better rations and more OF them,
there is not so much sickness. There
are plenty of measles-rsd and black !;
we have three or four in the hospital
with them. Capt Johnson is still in
the hospital; he is not much improv-
ed. We will get paid this week. The
boys think many of them will get
home on ten days furloughs. Some
of the boys are trying to get dis
| charges, but only one, Balm, of Rich
Hill, has succeeded. There is a reg
iment from Oklahoma, Indian Ty.,
Mexico and Arizona here; a number
of them are Indians. They have q
pet bear and an eagle for maseots.
The End Mo has a billy goat, q pet
coon and about forty dogs for mas
cots. We have lost seven out OF our
company-4 deserted, 2 deaths and
one discharged.

selected for a particularly steep
increase in price by the trust is pat
