SENATOR HOAR'S PLAN
For Dealing With the Philippines
Given in a Letter.

Franklin, Mass, Jan. n.-Joseph g. Ray
of this town a short time ago wrote to
Senator Hoar asking for an expression
from him as to what the United States
should do in the matter of holding the
Philippine islands. Senator Hoar replied
that he would assist the inhabitants of the
islands to establish form of government
which they desire and then withdraw. The
letter from Senator Hoar is in part as
follows:
Il have your letter of December q, in
which you ask what 1 should recommend
doing with the Philippine islands now that
we have taken them in our possession:
I'm the first place, we have not got them
in our posSeSSion 1 understand IL, We
have got to subdue the inhabitants We
have driven the Spa HtSh army from one
bred, where they were already hemmed in
by the insurgents. We possess that port
and one two similar places
I'VE have under our control popula-
ton of perhaps 100000 or 125,Ooe persons
out of 100000 or 15.o00,OoO What
would do with them is exactly this. I
would offer the insurgent leaders, who
seem to be the stronger parties in those
islands. aid in establishing such a
form of government they desire, and
restore order. l would compel the re-
nunciation of sovereignty there by Spain
as we have in the case of Cuba, and then.
after the government is fairly set up, I
would leave the islands to care for them
selves.
Il suppose there may be a great deal of
turbulence and disorder but think in the
course of time permanent. settled gov
eminent will be evolved If 1t were nee
essary I would have understanding
with the great powers of the world thai
we would all join in promoting and guar
anteeing such a result.

TENDER she turned these hospitals over to
the government trained nurses, having

expenses.
The two brave women then went to
Coamo, nursing the sick there, and later
to San Juan. and soon San Juan
was under the American flag started
hospital there. General Miles says their
conduct was most commendable and
such noble and generous acts perform
ed under circumstances of great embar-
rassment and in the danger of contract
ing fatal diseases prevalent at that time,
he says, our government should recog-
niZe, and 1 recommend that appropriate
medals be presented these two women;
and in the case of Miss Chanler, on ac-
generously from her own private funds,
without the least hope of ever being
munerated, 1 further recommend that the
matter be brought to the attention of
gress for such action as it may deem adj
ViSab
tary Alger, who recommended suitable ac-
ton by congress 1t is probable that the
two women will be given medals and the
thanks of congress.

FOUR PERSONS KILLED
By q Westbound Train Running on an
Eastbound Track

Pittsburg. Pa, Jan. Flour persons
were run down and instantly killed by
express train No. Is near Larimer sta
ton on the Pennsylvania railroad,
twenty-five miles east of Pittsburg. The
dead:
MARY MILLER -
THOMAS MILLER. s. El<t u
ALBERT WILSON,.
WALTER BROWN.
The train dashed into the group of
unfortunates at fun speed and the
bodies were terribly mangled. After
being gathered up the remains were
taken in charge by friends.
On account of a freight wreck near
Larimer 1t was necessary to switch
the westbound passenger trains to the
eastbound track. The express was run
ming at full speed and the engineer
blew the whistle, but the alarm was
unheard, as the victims evidently
thought that the train had run on the
westbound track as usual. They were
all residents of Larimer.
