them and for that reason they are
now aware that it will be impossible
for them to accomplish anything by
fighting.
While there is disappointment be
cause the movement for the capture
of large force of the FIlipinos was
not successful, it is believed that the
pressing of the natives steadily to-
ward the north, capturing their CAPT
tai and driving them from place to
place has had a discouraging effect
upon those who have been following
Aguinaldo.
1t is evident from the reference
which General Otis makes to recon-
noitering parties that he is having the
country thoroughlygcovered. Deser-
tons, it is said here, will soon deplete
the army OF Aguinaldo to little OF
nothing. 1t would not take long for
an army of the kind he has gathered
to disappear in the mountains and

The NEWS THIS indicates n proba-
biity of the cessation Of the Philip
pine war. fit be true, it is because
these brave people, who were fight
inc for their homes and their indie
pendence, q word that in years gone
by was almost considered sacred in
the United States, could no longer
stand against the improved weapons
of the Americans. Thousands OF
their people have been killed and
wounded, many of their homes have
been cruelty burned, in true Sherman
and Sheridan style, their women and
children who escaped the flying bull
lets and bursting shells were driven
away, and war, waged with the same
savage ferocity as that which mark
ed its progress among the homes OF
Southern people in Georgia, South
Carolina and the Shenandoah Valley,
desolated their island. We may boast
of victory over these poor people,
but it is one which should cause the
cheek of every lover of liberty IN
America TO mantle with shame. We
hope that the news is correct and that
the Americans who so freely volun-
tered in the Spanish war to fight for
the independence of Cuba, will be re-
lieved from the positions which they
now fill, in fighting against the indie
pendence of the Filipinos. While we
cannot rejoice in the subiugation OF
these people, we are glad that their
sufferiugs are approaching an end and
do most earnestly hope that they will
not be compelled to go through a re-
construction program as dlsgracetuI
as that which followed the civil war
in the United States.
Our government can afford to deal
literally with these people. We have
been the aggressors and the wrong
doors. We have but one thing III. our
favor and that is might. Nations,
ike individuals, profess respect for
the posseSsor of power. 1t may be
ONLY the lowest order of brute courage
IN individuals, yet it commands the
respect of other individuals Of the
same class. The United States at one
time enjoyed reputation rs ma
ton that loved liberty. 1t was a bad
bargain when we traded that reputa-
ton for one that we possessed great
power. Rome had the same expo
rience, but where is Rome to-day?

THE .WARMEST nEnBER' OF THE

Phil. Taylor, a colored servant at the
Geary Hotel, was arrested Tuesday night,
charged with wholesale stealing Of
Whisky from the bar stock Of the hotel
Phil was the Office boy and slept in the
office at night. lie found way to get
at the liquors, which he carried off IL the
night in a large bucket, and as he has
been at it for a long time he must have
gotten away with big lot Of whisky.
Some months ago Phil was suspected Of
stealing and was discharged, but upon
his confession and promise TO reform he
was taken back, but only to continue his
stealing upon larger scale than before.
Tuesday morning he was called up
and closely questioned. He made a full
confession and was taken before Mayor
Rodc0er who committed MIN to jail for
the action Of the grand jury. In his con-
iession he claimed to belong to club that
met at night to drink the whisky they
all knew was stolen, and he furnished
the officer who arrested him with the
names Of fourteen members Of the club.
Some Of these names will be a surprise
to our people.

naldo has been driven out Of his SO

and it is confidently expected that
Aguinaldo will save his carcass by

ofthe week there was much uneasi-

German officials there, lest the mix-up
should lead 10 trouble with Germany;
