HORSE DOWN THE CELLAR,
The Runaway Animal Falls some
Twelve Feet.

4 Horse hitChed to a BUGGY driven by
Mr. T. G. Leath. and owned by Mr.. Sell
den TAYLOR. took fright from an Eccirc
Car ON Bank Street between Ninth an
Tenth. Yesterday ABOUT n ON. ana ran
away. lie broke the shafts and the har-
ness ana finally backed down tho stops
into the cellar of The Times Building
facing Tenth Street.
During lds fright the horse backed up
on the pavement between Ninth ana
Tenth streets ON Bank, and broke part
of The hainess
Mr. Leath got ont. tied up a piece Of
the broken harness, quoted the animal,
and started of again. when the horse
became again frightened, and when
struck a sharp rap with the whip, start
cd TO run down Bank street. lie had
gone only a few yards before he fell
down and broke the shaft. Then he got
I'D more frightened than ever and start
ed off towards the corner. All this time
Mr. Leath stuck to his post and tried TO
quiet the animal, but there was no use.
The horse turned the corner Of Tenth
street, and the buggy became tam
glod up with another vehicle, and the
horse attached to that also became un-
easy and commenced TO turn around and
back toward The Times Building. He
broke loose from the hitch-post and tore
of the bridal. then forced his way to-
wards the corner Of Tenth and Min
streets.
HE WAS SOON CAPTURED.
The runaway horse had backed further
over towards the cellar of the Times
Building and was pulling the buggy with
him Mr.. Leath then leaped out just a
moment before the horse went crashing
backwards down into the cellar A
large skid was resting on the steps and
huge roofs Of paper had been sent down
into the cellar during the morning. This
skid was all that saved the horse from
injury or death. As he fell backwards
some twelve feet into the open space,
there was a loud noise. followed by some
lively kicking. and tearing away from
the vehicle. and breaking mp the harness.
By degrees the horse went on down into
the cellar kicking and struggling, and
scrambling frantcally 10 get loose. and
frightened into n most desperate state.
In n few minutes the frantic horse had
cooled down. and after two or three ef-
forts and through the aid of a couple OF
men. he succeeded in climbing the stair
case and reached the street. lie was not
hurt

islands when he said:


II dom. favor the withdrawal of our
troops. What do believe and have
repeatedly announced, is that we
should at once declare our purpose in
unequiyocal terms, so positive that the
FIlipinos canpot doubt it, to grant
them full and complete. te.;ndependence,
the moment they have established a
stable government. 1 believe, if we
should make such an announcement
right now, the war would cease i N q
very short time, and our troops could
withdraw without laying down their
arms in the face of an enemy. Fur
thermore. 1 believe if We had come
out with such an announcement in the
ginning, the war would never have
occurred. l am not unaware that a
few half-hearted efforts have. been
made in that direction from time TO
time, but they were made in such a
way as to raise strong questions of
their sincerity
In this statement Mr.. Bryan, is GER
tainly correct, and his beliefs are gen.
orally accepted. If liberal govern
ment, that is absolute independence
should be offered the Filipinos they
would lay down their arms and become
our friends. In fact there would have
been no war had the United States
convinced them from the start that
they should govern themselves, and
that peace with US did not mean a
change of masters.
