No man can hesitate in this struggle
for our rights in the Philippines and
ever afterwards call himself a true
American and true patriot. He must
stand by the flag. He must uphold the
honor and the interest of the nation,
and the only way in which he can stand
by the one, and uphold the other, is to
overwhelm the party that assails both.

Young man, you can select your wife
right on the main streets most any day
or evening, by the way she walks. The
girl with high chest. head thrown back
and chin pressed into her collar will be
proud, self-willed-especially so II her
step Is swinging and swift, and she will
always consider that she is for an orna-
ment and not for usefulness. The girl
whose chest is not quite so prominent
and whose head drops "A little and her
step not so high, will be afiectionate,
gentle, intelligent, sensitive aud mod
est, and will stay at home long enough
To dust the rooms, make the beds and
serve you warm meals. The girl who
carries her head on one side, steps I'M
evenly and wont stay at home long
enough TO eat IA square meal, is tlirt,
will fall In love with anything that
wears pants or breathes through hot
cigarette, and will attend the June"
races-if she gets Il chance. The girl
whose chest is modest and whose belt
is prominent, may be inclined To coarse
ness but she will be true and motherly,
good-hearted and a1fectionate and will
fight for home friends and native land.

EXTERMINATION
Is the American Policy, According to
Aguinaldo.

Montreal, Feb. 14.-AgonciIIo, the Fill
pino commissioner, in an interview,
gave an unqualified contradiction to
the cablegram from Gen. Otis in which
IT is stated that he (AgoncilIo) tele-
graphed advising Aguinaldo to drive
the Americans out before reinforce
ments arrived.
The falsity of this is proved by the
American papers themselves said the
statement that many of the Filipino
officers were arrested in the theaters
just previous to commencing hostilities
1t is not likely that our officers would
be found in the theater if they knew
that war was to commence. The thing
is absurd on the face of it, 1t would
have been suicidal for me to telegraph
any such instructions. Our policy was
to maintain an attitude of reserve"
Following is copy Of an official teIe-
gram from AguinaIdO, received by
AgOncillo, which was translated by
Senor Marti:
ON Sunday night the American army
attacked our lines with premeditation
and without justification and the men
of-war of the American feet bonn mbarded
simultaneously MaIabon, CaIoocan and
Paranaque, killing men, women and
children In the cities of Manila and

pie, at the same time saying they would
the Philippine race.
The FilipinOs are united with one
sentiment. They are resolved to die
gloriously for the independence of the
Philippines rather than submit to the
unjust ambitions of the invader"
