made a good reputation in this season ear

and the duties of an umpire. Aside from
the fact that the blacksmith is to be ON

the team are about evenly matched and

should be a rafting good one, and one of

Washington, Dec. 26.-The Spanish
government has at last formally rec
ognized the Filipino government
through it's representatives. Capt.
Cuero of the Spanish navy has been
sent by his government to look after
the interests of the Spanish prisoners
in the Philippines and to arrange for
their immediate return to Spain. Before
his departure from Spain Capt. Cuero
received instructions to proceed to Par
is and there present his commission to
Agoncillo, the chief of the Filipino
junta, and request for himself pass
port. Thus Spain recognizes for the
first time the Filipino government.
