Insurgents Fled With Heavy Losses.
The Filipino batteries at Zamboan-

'One company of our troops at

then abandoned, and two other bat

lery. After this reverse the insurgents
declared their adhesion to Spain, and
suspended hoStilities.
An Orderly Evacuation.
"The evacuation of Zamboanga was
accomplished in the most orderly way,
and in spite of a violent storm which
caused the loss of several boats and
the stranding of the steamer Porto
Rico on the enemy's coast, every one
was safely embarked.

A NEW FOURTH OF JULY.

For the first time in history, the an
niversary of American independence
will be celebrated today not only
throughout the length and breadth OF
these United States, but on new sol
and by new peoples in the West Indies
the islands of the mid-Pacific and the
far East Indies, all owing allegiance to
the government founded by Washing
ton and his contemporaries, and con-
served by successive wise and far-see-
ing presidents, generals and political
leaders.
While we in Worcester commemorate
the first public reading of the declara-
ton of independence in New England
by Isaiah Thomas, the principles OF
government which America has typified
to the world for generations win be ex-
tolled in Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines. with an enthusiasm
hitherto unknown. That all of these
new peoples should come to an imme-
date and complete comprehension of
American law and liberty was not to
be expected. There is strife in Luzon,
owing in large degree to differences of
temperament and mental habits be-
Yet in nearly every island our soldiers,
sailors and government officials have
been welcomed as deliverers and
friends rather than as conquerors, and
tha irtarnourca botwaan native -,
stranger has been cordial. Misunder-
standings will inevitably arise and mis-
takes may be made, but a broad view
Of the situation is encouraging to Am
erican hopes and alluring to American
prospects. For the new Americans, If
so they may be called, the future
brings prospects of peace, prosperity
and happiness never before known to
them.
1t was but year ago today that the
nation learned of the completeness of
the destruction of Cerveras fleet and
the downfall of Spanish power. Like
Meade's great triumph on the field of
Gettysburg, SIMPSONS victory was
achieved upon the Sd of July, as If to
give seasonable notice of new and
glorious motives for celebrating In
dependence day. OF the momentous
consequences of these two mighty bat
ties, there is no need to speak now.
Each marked the climax of an "irre-
pressible conflict" between two an
tagonistic civilizations, and in each the
superior endurance and vigor of the
younger and more enlightened and hui
name was demonstrated. All up, then,
for Columbia's natal day.

AS a succinct, comprehensive and
satisfying statement of the conditions
that have led to the recent gold ex-
ports and of the results likely to flow
from them, nothing is better than that
contained in the following interview
attributed to Secretary Gage:
Top-notch prices for American Sc
curlties, low rates of interest at home.
higher rates abroad, an easy money
market In the United States as against
comparatively tight market abroad
THESE are few of the most potent rea-
sons for the recent expectations of
American gold. Foreigners holding our
negotiable paper realize that they can
now dispose of their property at a fair
prof1t, and they have been quick to
take advantage of the prices offered.
Il do not anticipate any heavy ex-
portations Of gold. Five, ten, fifteen,
perhaps twenty millions more will be
transferred to Europe, but I do not
believe the latter figure will be ex-
ceeded. The payment to Spain accounts
for the loss of 100000 and add to
this the reasons given above and one
has a solution of the gold expectation
problem.
With the balance of trade so large
~ in our favor, much of the gold which
has recently left the United States will
certainly be returned when we want
it. 1t may be one month, it may be six
months, or even a year, before it is
sent back to US, but so long as the
trade balance is in our favor we may
be sure that our gold will sooner or
later be returned to our shores, unless
we prefer to take something else in it's
place.
Money goes where it can get the
best reward, either in the way of in
terest for it's use or in exchange for
commodities. When we lose gold It
tends, after a little, to produce higner
interest in our market. The receipt Of
it on the other side tends to make in
terest rates lower there, and so there
Is a tendency to an equilibrium when
gold shipments cease, whether to or
from our shores

According to President Schurman of
the Philippine commission, we have cor
raled that precious daisy known as the
sultan of Sulu. For that matter all the
islands are undisputedly ours, save that
tract in Luzon over which Aguinaldo
and his fugitives roam. All but this
leader and his followers are disposed to
be good. There is no pretense that the
natives are enamoured of the Ameri-
cans above all other races of men, but
their idea Of government seems to be
that It is something which must be en-
dured, and so long as they are left un-
disturbed to themselves, they care little
who makes the laws or holds the Offices.
The moment Aguinaldo ceases to worry
them, they will cheerfully connde
their fortunes to the keeping of the Uni
ted States. What high links would be
going on over there u the ambitious
