GEN. L. NJ. ANDERSON, just returned
from the Philippines and placed in
charge of the military department of
the lakes. with headquarters in Chi
cagO, said in an interview Yesterday
that last summer, before Aguinaldo
assumed the aggressive against the
United States. he asked Anderson
what course this country proposed to
adopt with reference to the Philip
pines, and on being told by Anderson
that he was not at liberty to saw,
Aguinaldo replied that he had read
the constitution of the United States
carefully and had failed to find any
power in it to establish colonies. And
in this Aguinaldo had the absolutely
correct Interpretation. Gen. Anderson
states that at that time he cabled this
government that the Filipinos were
determined upon absolute independ-
ence. Yet it was after that time that
this country bought them at so much
n head and denied them that indie
pendence.

Operations Continue Night and Day Near
Sterling.
Two hundred men, about the same
mum Der of horses and four BIG clam
shell dredges make the new Hennepin
feeder near Sterling a sight which
would pay the average sightseer to go
miles to see. Everything is hustle.
Night and day the big machines are at
work, rain or shine. There is mud
all kinds of it, from the common black
mud to the sticky, clayey substance
but it makes no difference work
goes on Just the same. Perhaps the
scene of the greatest activity and of
greatest interest is the first two miles
of the feeder under the Callahan Con-
struction company. The company
has about fifty white laborers, about
thirty-five colored, all living at the
camp, besides large number of men
from the city who drive to and from
their work night and morning.
The men at the camps are nearly all
satisfied. They receive good treat
ment, and the best of food and lodg-
ing. This week the government en-
gineers will make estimates on the
amount of work already completed.

LIEUTENANT HOBSON.
Hundreds at the Wharf to Say Good
Bye.

Lieutenant Hobson. hero of the
Merrimac, expressed himself as
charmed with his reception here. Hos
pitable and enthusiastic, there was
nothing of the fluff hunting" in it.
Soon after he came ashore from the
Gaelic he was taken to the Pail to see
one of the most striking pieces of ma
lures handwork and the no less
striking conquest of man over natures
difficulties, the Pail road.
He was entertained at lunch by Spe-
cial Agent and Mrs. Sewal at the
American legation. There was an i'm
promptu public reception at the Y. NJ.
c. \. and later again at the Officers
club, and popular demonstration at
the wharf
Hundreds gathered at the wharf
TO see the hero. He arrived there in
company with Mr.. Sewall not ten min
utes before the steamer sailed. Dense
as the crowd was. a passage through
it was kept clear. Ae he passed to
the gang plank hundreds extended
their hands to shape his. Calm and
courteous he recognized all greetings.
Several ladies whom he had met dur
ing the day presented him with leis.
AS soon as he reached the deck the
order to cast off was given. From the
bridge he acknowledged the continu-
Gus salutation and enthusiasm. To
calls for speech he responded, hest
tatingly at first. but moved by the
feelings to which he gave expression,
warmly and fluently, as he thanked
those present for the greeting thew
gave, and sketched briefly and enthu-
siastically the spirit and acts of those
who took part with him in the Merri-
mac exploit and of the thousands of
others who sought so hard to be cho-
| sen to take part in it.
