on the old card and left here about
two hours late going back. The way

the mail service is outrageous. The

AGUINALDO a DEMOCRAT.
He Prays for the Success of that
Party in the United States at Next
Election Good Record of Tennessee
Regiment.

Manila, October THE Tennessee
regiment, the last of the volunteers,
will sail for the United Etates tomor-
row on board the transport Indiana
after week passed in the harbor
Most of the year these troops have
been stationed in the southern islands.
Their colonel says they are in excel
lent health and have been much bene-
fitted by service. Six hundred and
seventy-three men will sail. Three Of
ficers and ninety one men remain to
enter into business here. Sixteen Off
GERS and 165 men have been discharg-
ed for re-enlistment Two men were
killed in alton and one was killed ac-
cidentally. Chaplain Legand and seven
men died of disease.
Aguinaldo, in a proclamation an
nouncing the release of the American
prisoners and authorizing Filipino SOL
diers in the northern province to return
to their homes says:
I'm America there is a great party
that insists on the government recog-
nizing Filipino independence. That
party will compel the United States to
fulfill the promises made to us in all
solemnity and good faith, though not
put into writing.
Therefore, we must show our graft
tude and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should pray
to God that the great democratic party
may win the next presidential election
and imperialism fail in it's mad attempt
to >kubjugate us by force of arms
There are some Americans in the Phil
ippines who have joined us, because
they disapprove a war which Mr.. At
kinson calls criminal aggression. When
offered a chance to return to their own
camp, they declined"
Throughout the proclamation Agui-
naldo denounces 1.-The imperialists,' -
instead of "the Americans as in for
mer documents. He calls the world to
witness that the FilipinoS have not
broken 'tthe alliance made with the
Americans through Admiral Dewey
and the United States consuls at Hong
Kong, and Singapore
The people, on seeing, the American
prisoners, cried out: I'VE do not want
war against the United States. We only
defend our independence against the
imperialists. The sons of that mighty
nation are our friends

PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
Described by Ex-Consuls wiIdman.

States at Hong Kong. and who was
Philippines was begun. was passen-
ger on the American line steamship
st. Louis. which reached her dock from
Southampton and Cheerbourg today.
Mr.. Wildman spoke on conditions in
the Philippines and eulogized Admiral
Dewey.
The Philippines" he said, "are well
worth the struggle. The country out
there is magnificent and the climate Is
good. There are seven months of good
weather and then comes the rainy sea-
son when one an do nothing. but then
in every country there is the bad time
Of the year. The sooner we get down
to governing the islands, the better.
They are worth much from a CONNER
cial standpoint. The whole country is
rich and productive.
General Otis is too old and not ag-
gressive enough. He, tries to do the
whole thing out there and like every
other man who tries to do all, he does
nothing successfully The great need
out in the islands is a young and ag-
gressive man.
"AS to the question or elf-government
/ am led TO believe that none OF the ma
tive people are capable of that in the
highest sense of the ward. The only
way that the natives could govern is
under American supervision. / believe
that the flag in the Philippines should
never be lowered. We have got TO
conquer or annihilate. The question is
which will our war do.
Il want to say now that at no time
was Aguinaldo or any of the Filipinos
promised independence. Admiral Dew
ey made them no promises. We brought
Aguinaldo over to Manila the same as
any other man was brought over there
to help. At no time was any thing
said about giving them their independ-
enee. You will notice that in his mani
festos Aguinaldo is careful not to say
directly that there were promises
made. That talk always comes from
some of his followers who have some
thing to gain by his success"

staircase. So far as Sholto could see there
was not even a window anywhere The
door by which they had entered and an
other which evidently led into the interior
of the castle We're its only outlets. The
earth at the bottom had remained as it
had been left by the builders, who surely
must have thought that no madder arChi-
teCtural freak was ever carried out than
this shut tower of the castle of Machecoul
with its blank walls and sordid accouter
ment-
But most strange of all. the original earth
had beer covered to the depth of a foot or
more with dark objects, the true signifi-
canoe of which did not appear from the dis
tanCe of the little gallery where the party
of five had stationed themselves.
The two men at work below had brought
torches with them and had fastened these
to the walls by iron spikes. The smoke
from these hung in heavy masses about
the tower. still further diminishing the
CleaTness with which the watchers aloft
could observe what went on below.
One of the workmen was tall and spare,
with the forward thrust of head and neck
seen in vultures and other unclean birds.
The other, who held the sacks while the
first shOVeled. was on the contrary, stout
and short. OF a notably jovial. rubicund
countenance. in habit like the hostler of
an inn, or perhaps a well-to-do carrier
upon the roads
The two worked without speaking. as if
the work were distasteful. When one sack
was full both would seize their picks and
