THE PHILIPPINES.

ne capture SI hguinaiuo capitai
has been accomplished without fighting,
and the organized resistance of the in
surgents is believed to be at an end.
There was, in fact, only show Ct organ,
lied fighting for several days before
Malolos was reached. Since then there
has only been a little desultory long
range firing, with the bushwhackers
promptly scurrying away at the first
signs of pursuit. Aguinaldo and his So
called Cabinet took time by the forelock
and left the "capital" two or three days
before our advance reached it. 1t seems
incredible that he should retain any
ascendency over his followers when he
has been so careful about exposing him,
self to any of the dangers Of the war.
All the people of the country fled,
undoubtedly frightened by the fearful
tales circulated by the Aguinaldoites as
to what the Americans would do. These
had the support of previous experiences
of the people with the vindictive Spanish
soldiery. Our men are trying TO restore
confidence by kind treatment of all who
fall into their hands, and this will soon
have the desired effect. The country
around Malolos is the richest agricul-
tural district in the Philippines, and it
is very desirable that it should be soon
pacified.
Gen. Otis is engaged in this work Of
restoring confidence to the people, wh!iile
resting and reftting his men, ard pre-
pairing for the next step. What this
will be is anxiously awaited. The
likelihood is that the mass of the men
who have been in the ranks of the in
surcents will drift back to their homes,
and resume peaceful pursuits. A few
of the tribal leaders, who have bandit.
tism in their blood, will attempt to con,
tinue a guerrilla warfare, but will be
soon hunted down and shot. There
will not be so much cf this as many
fear. Bandittism has existed in the
Philippines, as in all Spanish colonies,
simply because the Spaniards never
followed the thoroughgoing Ameri-
can practice of hunting the bandits
to their holes and exterminating them.
Such tactics as we have employed
against the Western Indians have
never been displayed by the Span
iards in any of the countries which
they have held. They have contented
themselves with guarding their towns
and cities against direct attack. When
guerrilla leaders have become too
troublesome they have been bought Off
Much of the trouble that we had with
Geronimo and other chiefs of the New
Mexican and Arizona Indians was due
to their experience with the unaggres-
sive Mexicans. We shall have no
trouble as we did with Geronimo
whom we had to chase the last time
over 2,400 miles before capturing him.
There is no place in the archipelago
that guerrilla can run more than GO or
20 miles before be is stopped by the
sea. After a few guerrillas are hunted
down, and it is thoroughly realized that
we will not buy them of, that nobody
is afraid of them, and that the army is
full of men who are eager to hunt them
down, wherever they may run to, ban
dittism will receive sudden and deadly
chill.

THERE will be more disregard of the
"consent of the governed in the new
arrangement for the Samoan Islands
which will send iron into the souls of
the Aunties. The attempt to give the
Samoans some share in their own Gov
ernment has led to incessant bloody
encounters between rival factions, and
which, had not the German, British and
Americans shown great forbearance,
might have embroiled the three great
Nations The new plan, which has been
all but decided upon, involves the
denial of the Samoans of any share
whatever in their Government, which
is to be lodged in the hands of three
Commissioners, who will be supreme.

THE course of the local authorities
in Habana give a good idea of the
utter incompetency of the Cubans for
selfgovernment. There is not one OF
the sins which they so fercely charged
upon the Spaniards which they have
not committed in the most aggravated
form whenever they have had the
opportunity. The native police have
blackmailed, prosecuted and oppressed,
the Judges are inconceivably corrupt,
the " incommunicado " system has been
revived in its worst form, and SO on. 1t
viii take several generations before the
Cubans are educated up to be capable
of honesty and justice in Government.

SATELLITE IN PHOTOGRAPH.
Pickering Tells of Discovery of
the New Attendant on
Saturn.

Prof. William II. Pickering, of Cam
bridge, Mass, speaking OF the new sat
elite of Saturn, which he has just dis
covered and identified, says the sphere
is 3E times as distant from Saturn as
is the satellite Iapetus, the outermost
satellite of the planet hitherto known.
Its period is about II months, and its
magnitude 15h.
The discovery was made by Prof.
Pickering in his examination of four
Photographic plates recently received
from the Howard astronomical obser-
vatory at Arequipa, Peru, which were
made with the famous Bruce photo
graphic telescope. The satellite ap-
pears on each of the four plates and is
positively identified as new one.
The last previous discovery among
the satellites OF Saturn was made half
century ago in September, 1S4S, by
Prof. George p. Bond, at that time di-
rector Of the Howard college obser-
yatory.

Mr.. Smithers is somewhat fastidious
young man who is looking for new board
ing place. Smithers can't abide the regula,
tion boarding house, and always tries to live
with a private family. He Is now convinced
that an "ad." which solicits boarders for a
rnice private family" is often a snare for q
stuffy double fiat, inhabited by one small
family and "a boarders.
Smithers called one day last week at 4

flank of Michigan avenues aristocracy.

MOSQUITO PRINCE ADVOCATES.
Heir to Shndowy Throne to Marry
and Renounce His Claims.
New York Times)

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, November c.
An interesting poltico-social event is
about TO take place in Jamaica. 1t is
what, in European court circles, would
be called the morganatic marriage Of eX-
Prince Clarence H., Of Mosquito. This
semi-royal protege Of Great Britain, who,
during the last four or five years has
been an exceedingly well paid II not
highly distinguished, guest of the lmpe-
rial Government in this island. under OBJ
legations involving the United States, is
about TO take unto himself q wife Of
the maidens of Jamaica. The nuptials
VIII be celebrated about Christmastde.
To the United States possibly no less
than 10 Great Britain. not 10 mention
Nicaragua as we'll the significance Of the
Incident will lie in the fact that, by con-
tracing this alien alliance, which is
thoroughly morganatic, the former Mos
quito King according TO the laws of
his country, not only disinherts his heir,
but politically and technically, If not,
under present conditions, virtually abdi
Gates his shadowy throne.
Prince Clarence was educated in
jamaica To all intents and purposes he
is an ordinary young Jamaican In senu-
ment, according to his own statement,
he is an equally commonplace British sub

future of the Mosquito country and its
people. From a personal point OF view,
| therefore, lie is making no sacrifice in
this violation of the ancient laws of his

| void Of importance. With the hereditary

| movement, and his coming marriage 10

factor as his personality will make for
the continuance of peace.
