that organization are not democrats.
They are republicans maequerading

seondence from Manila to day says
that the address 10 the natives OF
the Philippine Islands, drafted bV
the American Commission IN behalf
Of United States Government and
smbodying the views of the Presi-
dent, has been made public. After
being translated INTO all the native
dialects it is to be disseminate
throughout the archipelago
The address assures the Filipinos
Of the intentions of the Americans to
develop the powers Of self govern

that the United States has assumed
international obligations which it
must fulfill, and which make it
responsible TO the whole civilized

natives the purposes and intentions

also suggest the establishment of
such government as shall suit the
capacity and requirements Of the
Filipinos and be consistent with the
interests of United States.
The protection of the United
States is not to De exercised in any

having destroyed the Spanish power
and accepted the sovereignty of the
islands, the United States is bound
to restore peace il the Philippines
To this end, al insurgents are
invited to lay down their arms and |
place their trust n the Government |
that emancipatel them from the op

The truth is leaking out in the
meat scandal. Colonel Smith, the
purchasing agent of the Government,
testified before the investigating
committee that Eagan bought the
canned roast beef over his head. Col.
Smith knew nothing about the price
paid, or why different prices were
made on different purchases the
same day The beef was bought by
sample and no precautions were
taken to insist on the goods coming

emphatically declared that he was

A LETTER FROM MANILA.
Soldier Boy From Johnson County Talks
Plain About The Philippine Islands.

The Warrensburg Star publishes
an interesting letter from Charles
Hunt, who is now at Manila, to hii
relatives in Johnson county. We
make the following extracts from
the letter:
The dungeon here in Manila stu
ated in the inner fort is the only
one on earth to compare with the
''Black Den" of Calcutta, of which
we have all read. As soon as the
officers find the entrance they will
explore it There is not near sc
much sickness here as is reported in
the States. Have only heard Of one
case Of smallpox since 1 arrived in
the city There are more severe
cases Of home sickness than anv
other disease. They say it is almost
as bad as sea sickness; however, as I
have not been eff cted with either,
am not prepared to say.
We have an insurgent scare here
every few days. Yesterday was the
worst yo'; business was suspended
and great many families took boats
for the bay of safety. The scare
turned out to be a sentry on the
outpost shot at dog,and a drunken
soldier thought it was an attack,
blew the call to arms-then the call
to arms was sounded all over the
the city. Several natives hastily
mounted horses and started From
their actions they were supposed to
be Insurgents and when they refus
ed to obey the command, .'halt.'
