Herman Smith, the ST. T'aul man sent
up for five, years for robbing a companion
while asleep, was pardoned on the ground
that the sentence was excessive The
pardon was granted upon condition that
Smith would abstain from Intoxicating
liquors and report every two months to
the warden Of the states prison
William Hagerty, who was sent up for
robbery in Blue Earth county, was given
pardon by the board. 1t seems that the
prisoner was convicted of the crime more
on general principles than anything else,
as he was locally thought to be a very
bad man. Judge Severance and Senator
Benedict, who was the prosecuting at
torney, both asked for the pardon be-
cause of facts which have come to light
since the trial. Both officials gave it as
their opinion that Hagerty was not
guilty. The board acted upon the recon-
mendatian. 80
i Frank Warzecha. who was sent up from
Stearns county for assault, was pardoned
upon the recommendation of the trial
Judge, who stated that five years SEN
tence would not have been imposed, but
he then had no discretion under the law
The pardon was made conditional upon
Warzecha's refraining from the use of in
toxicants.

General Otis notes the wounding or
killing of some of the American troops
by what are practically sharpshooters
on the other side The main body of
the insurgents has now fallen back
well out of the line of effective range
of the gunboats, but as the American
troops have been obliged to extend
their lines in order to protect the water
works and to take advantage of the
natural typographical defenses of Ma
Mia, the troops are exposed to the fire
of these guerrillas without an opportu-
nifty to retaliate for the enemy fees
before an advance in force. This was.
after all, about what was expected by
the War Department officials. and that
was why, in sending reinforcements to
General Otis, they made it a point to
send as many of the regular troops as
possible who had been used to Indian
fighting in the Bad Lands of the West.
General Lawton, who goes to take
command of these troops, is an old In
dian fighter, and soon after the troops
arrive, within two or three weeks, a
forward campaign Will begin and
heavy blow be struck that win keep the
insurgents quiet during the rainy sea-
son, If it does not bring about their i'm
mediate surrender. 1t is felt to be nee
essary to do this in order to avoid the
hardships to which the American
troops otherwise would be exposed dur
ing these torrential rains, which will
make life in outside entertainments al
most impossible for civilized troops.

sada, the only Filipino left, is still con-
fined to his bed.

at the time this dispatch is sent.
1t is estimated that the loss OF
property will be very heavy.
About one thousand native
houses and several hundred ma

checked. The property of Euro

DICTATOR AGUINALDo
ISSUES A MANIFESTO

HONGKONG, Feb. 22-Aguinaldo
has issued a manifesto accepting the
situation caused by the unexpected
provocation of the Americans" while
lamenting the hostilities which he says
he "tried to avoid by every means in
his power making humiliating con-
cessions and tolerating insults and out
RACES of the army of occupation
against the people of Manila" He adds
that he is prepared to sacrifice every
thing "to maintain the integrity of the
national honor calls on all to wit
ness the good faith and honesty of his
intentions" and complains he has been
treated as a rebel, because 1 defended
the national interests instead of be-
coming the tool of the American pre-
posterous pretensions.
The rebel leader further alleges that
the country is unanimous in his sup
port: that the people will perish
rather than accept the odious Ameri-
can dominion" and that ''even the cor
rupt Spanish dominion is preferable"
The Philippine Commission is consid-
cred by Aguinaldo to be a farce. and
Otis. DENLY, Dewey and Secretary Har-
den are classed as pronounced annexa-
tionists, the latter being charged with
having "maliciously DETAINED" the FIJI
ipinos in newspaper reports. He is
classed as being especially obnoxious
to the Filipino Government
Finally, Aguinaldo expresses the
wish to proclaim to the world and off,
cially dispel the false rumors that Ger
many or any other power has rendered
assistance, moral or material, to the
Filipinos, nor have the Filipinos soli-
cited it."
