ONLY ONE THING TO BE DONE.

When that contest came the Government had
but one course and one duty. II under OBJ
liRation to suppress the insurrection of the
Tagals in Luzon, just as much as II would be
to suppress the revolt OF Indian tribe In
Idaho or Wyoming. We owe II to the world.
which recognizes our supremacy and expects us
TO secure peace. and maintain law and order.
We owe II to our own sovereignty, and we owe
II to the interests and well-being OF the Fill

Filipinos. II is the testimony OF our Commits
sion and of al other authorities that fully ND
per cent of the Filipinos accept and welcome
the American flag which carries liberty ana
the promise Of enlightenment and progress 10
them Our conflict is only with the single tribe
of Tagals which, because OF announcement
from some of our own people, and because OF
a misunderstanding OF the real American pur-

OUR CHANCES SLIM.


The Spanish Cannon Allotted to West v1r-
ginia Probably Already Pledged.
The following letter, received at the
City Hall by City Clerk Thomas
O'Brien, Jr.. explains itself:
WASHINGTON, d. c..
WASHINGTON, D. c., July II.
"Col. Thomas O'Brien, Jr., City Clerk,
Wheeling, W. Va:
Dear Sir:-At request Of Senator
Scott | took up the question of secur-
ing cannon captured by the Ameri-
can army during the late Spanish
American war for the city of Wheel
ing, in compliance with your request
Of July IL.
Il find that the law requires that
all condemned cannon, ammunition,
etc, issued to any State is turned
over to the Governor of that State as
custodian. Two cannens were allotted
TO West Virginia, and the department
is not able to tell whether they have
been disposed of or not. Governor
Atkinson is the one who can tell this.
If you communicate with the Governor
and Senator Scott can be of any SER
vice to you by so doing, he desires
that you let him know at once.
Very truly yours,
JOHN l.. STEELE,
.'Private Secretary
1t is believed here that the two can
mons allotted to this State have already
been pledged. Clarksburg probably got
one and Charleston the other.
