men strolled into the orchard, one OF

daughters happened to be RAISING by, and
asked them II they we've aware the

four of the five left the orchard, bus the

before he left.
In the afternoon the same five young
men, in company with other young men
and some young women, again went into
the orchard. This time my son went aup

offended most in the forenoon seemed to
act as spokesman ON this second occasion,
and in the talk that followed, 1t was
made clear TO him that the value of the

alleged that he has the sympathy of but q
small paIJ OF the natives, bat 1t is ex-
oeedingly improbable II this were true that
he could have maintained himself and

concerned In Luzon, but also that he has
been able TO enlist the sympathies Of
the natives Of the other islands, many of

American sovereignty. A while ago it
was reported that in all the islands except
Llzon, the natives were well disposed
toward us and ready to accept our
sovereignty. That such is not tho case
today is admitted at Washington. The
Inhabitants of all Che islands. except Il o

well satisfied have the American COM

power over the natives of all the islands,
that they are bending all their energies
