The baseball fans will have their first
good Opportunity this week to judge of the
capabilities of the reorganized Oaklands.
Since Manager Ewing secured his new
talent the Dudes have played against no
team other than Santa Cruz, and there
is considerable speculation among the
fans as to what Harper and Borchers can
do with good support against the E'riscos.
Should the Oaklanders take a majority
of the series they will have fair pros
and unless the local team prove the
stronger of the two Uncle Hank Harris
may as well prepare to relinquish preten-
sons to championship honors. Meanwhile
the Frlscos are being urged to their ut

ENCOURAGEMENT TO FILIPINos
\ Soldier Writes That War Has Been
Prolonged By Anti-Imperialists.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 16.-Edward
Douglass of Frankfort, this state, who
is now serving in the Eighth army
corps in the Philippines. has written a
letter home in which he declares that
the statements made by Senator Pet
tigrew. Senator Hoar and others re-
garding the war are ISLANDERS. Con-
Guiding his letter. he says:
Il am sorry to say that the prolonga-
ton of this war is due to such men as
Senators Pettigrew, Hoar and others.
Speeches made by them reach the Fill
ipino junta at Hong Kong and are pub
lished and spread throughout the in
surgent forces. They are made TO be-
lieve that the United States govern
ment will soon recall the soldiers and
let the insurgents do as they please.
Were it not for the encoura cement
given by our own people who style
themselves anti-expansionists,' the
insurgents would have mutinied and
their leaders been compelled to sur
render to our forces. This is substan-
tiated by every Spanish prisoner that
escapes from the rebel army and by all
Europeans that have come through
their lines"
