Parts Unknown.

Southbridge, Dec. There has been
a defalcation in the local office Of the
New England Telephone Company. One
of the employees in the local office has
left town and his whereabouts is a
mystery. Investigation has shown an
irregularity in his accounts, and it is
naturally inferred that this is the
cause of his leaving.
Those in charge of the office refuse
to tell the exact amount of the defal-
cation, but affirm that the amount is
far below that reported on the streets.

New York, August 29.-The Herald has
the following special from San Francisco:
Rev. Pete MacQueen, pastor of the Day
Street Congregational church, Boston. who
has been in the Philippines collecting data
for publication, returned on the Sher-
man with the First California volunteers
In an interview he said: THE war in the
Philippines should have ended long ago
was with the army nearly six months,
have eaten and bunked with Generals
Lawton, Hale, Wheaton and Macarthur,
and their STATS, and have camped with
and shared the rstions of the men. I had
exceptional privileges for obtaining in-
formation. and minging as l did with
all the branches of the service, be-
lieve am thoroughly familiar with the
temper and sentiments of the army.
1.-THE weakness of the whole affair in
the Philippines is in having General Otis
act as military and civil governor. He
is not competent TO conduct the affairs
of the dual position. He never saw the
firing lines and has no personal knowledge
of the exigencies OF the situation. He can
not direct military operations successfully
and attend to his executive duties at the
same time he has not the capacity. Every
soldier and civilian with whom talked
saws the same. In my six months stay
found not one man who would say that
General Otis is competent officer. There
are a few who desire his retention as
civil governor, but for financial reasons
only.

that wants the American form of gov

CONQUEST of the islands might have besn

copy of the Chu Kizo Shinko, a newspaper

ing: In the latter part of June near
San Fernando. Aguinaldo was killed by
General Pho Del Pillar. Pillar, visited him
to inquire about the death of General Luna

knew anything about this case and told
Pillar to mind his own business. General
Pillar then called Aguinaldo liar and

follows:
The censorship in the Philippines contin-
ues unchanged. 1t is political. instead of

who, so far are unwilling that we should
hold any territory except the single walled
town of Jolo. Even the non complaints
hate us.
In Manila the native feeling against
us is growing stronger every day. Taxes
are higher in Manila than under Spanish
rule, the inhabitants bitterly complain
Living expenses have doubled.
The native police have been discharged
and Americans appointed, whose admins
tration is tyrannical and inefficient, be-
cause they are ignorant of the language
and not familiar with the perpetrators of
crime. Murders and robberies, old in
habitants say are more numerous than
ever before. Taxes and customs duties
are being used to support the army in
stead of being applied to municipal ne
cessities. This really prolongs the war
by keeping the natives irritated, after
high-sounding promises of good govern
ment.
Information concerning recent losses OF
the enemy is purely hearsay, obtained
from frightened natives.
The desire of the natives for American
rule officially reported is not borne out
by the facts. The mayor of Balinag, who
was supposed to be a great friend of the
Americans, is now in prison for deliberate
ly leading an nsurgent attack on Balinag
