letter to the World says:
I'VE are weak and you are strong"
said Dr. Gallicano Apacible, the head
OF the Filipino junta here, but we
have an ally and you have none.
We have 10000 stands of arms and
So'UOO troops in the field, and sufficient
material TO make cartridges to supply
our troops for four years to come.
Our ally is the climate of the Phil
ippines. Your bullets cannot KIN one
or our men where disease will kill
twenty OF yours, once you begin your
advance into the interior We will har-
rass your advance at the same time
that we welcome it.
We cannot fight pitched battles with
you, and we do not need to. We shall
be here today and there tomorrow. at
tacking, then flying. You can no more
catch us or conquer us than you can
the wind"
Youth seems to be the invarfable
first requirement of leadership among
the FflipinOs. Only the younger gem
GRAFTON of half-breeds have had the
advantage of education. Dr. Apacfble
and DR.. Santos (after ADacibIe the
most prominent member of the Hong
Kong Junta) are under %, and both
nave received the degree of doctor of
laws in Spain.
Between them and the numerous
young men who are their associates
and the mass OF F'ilipinOs there is about
as much resemblance as between a.
quadroon and full-bloOded negro.
They were led to organize the rebel
lion by d priest: priests educated them.

hundreds of friars as prisoners.

Steamboat CoupaHy.

Joseph Eddinger, of Mo. 16e York street,
Through lawyer Isaac Gotdenhorn, has IN
stituted a suit against the New Jersey
Steamboat Company for 5000 damages.
The defendant OWNS the Peoples Line Of
steamboats, plying between New York and
Albany.
On September IA of last year the plain
tiff engaged a second cabin passage to
Albany on the steamer Adirondack. When
ii was time to retire Eddinger went by
mistake into one of the first cabins The
night watchman saw him, and. Eddinger

lence. Eddinger wanted to explain THAT
he had made a mistake and offered to
show his ticket, but the watchman would
neither listen to any explanation nor look
at the ticket. He proceeded to literally
wips the floor with Eddinger
Eddinger says that the watchman
knocked him down, kicked him and
Jumped on him. Three of his teeth were
knocked out and his other injuries laid
him up in a hospital for three weeks.
Passengers who witnessed the affair pro-
tested against the watchman's brutal as
sault. william Dudley Putnam, a Yale
student drew up petition ITO the COM
pany requesting the watchman's discharge
and it was signed by thirty-two of the
passengers. Most of these passengers will
testify when the suit comes up for trial
in the Supreme Court.

AUTOMOBILES IN HODOKEN
Merchants Will Form a Co
operative Company.

Undertaken John O'FTara is the promoter
Of an automobile company which he hopes
to have organized in Hoboken within the
uext few months. Being large property
holder in that town and welding much
influence he has interested a number OF
the most prominent local businessmen in
the proposed organization, and If the
plans they are formulating result as ex-
pected, Hoboken promises to become
yeritable hot bed of automobilism. Mem
bership in the new company will be hnlt
ed to merchants only, the idea being 10
have the organization as much OF CO.
operative one as possible.
"The advantages of a company like we
propose TO start would be incalculable. :
said Mr.. ONaara to a News man. -Au-
tomobiles as they are built now have
many advantages over the present vehi-
cles used by Hoboken business men, put
several small inconv enierces connected
with their running viii have to be bet
tered before they will meet with popular
favor
..Horsef1esh is bound to give way to the
new motive power and merchants VINO
look ahead are buying very little fresh
stock these days. Evidence of the ear
nestness with which the plans we have in
view are held is displayed by the fact that
several of the leading merchants in town

their establishments provided for the ac-
eornruodation of the machines. It's great
scheme we all believe and one that VIII

it might amount to twice that amount mad

the city to a large amount. So far we
have not had any suits brought against
US for damage to property. The property
owners have acted very amfably.
