opportunities for Industrious and enter

homes, and that they desired to remain

velopment of the mining, agricultural and
Industrial resources of the islands.

port in upholding the laws and protecting
the interests of the United States there
and WouI-. If so desired become mem
bers Of national guard or such other
organization as might be necessary for
the best protection Of American interests
in the Philippines.

attention of the War Department instruc-
tions were cabled to General Otis and he
issued a circular. just received by the
department, in which he said:

vate business. General Otis has not vet

where, as a member of Augustin Days
company, she became the rival Of Miss
Rehan for critical commendation and
popular applause, won the most gener-
Gus praise any new American actress

'All this set a high standard of ex-,
pectation that few players would be
