conveIsing with many of them, some
of whom were prisoners of war, and I
can assure you it surprised me to
know they were SO thoroughly posted
and told me that they would sooner
die fighting for their rights than lay
down their arms and not know how
they were to be governed. After
hearing them relate the cruelties they
had to bear under Spain and the
number of years they were fighting
for freedom, and the fact that they
aided us in capturing Manila from the
Spaniards, expecting they would be
treated just as the Cubans, it took the
fight out of me and my heart was not
in my work.
War Unpopular with Volunteers.
"The cause of incentive necessary
for volunteer to fight those people
seemed to be lacking. AS stated to
my father, when / wrote to him from
there, touching on that. said: when
you and three of my uncles left all
and went to fight in 1861 you had a
cause worthy of your best efforts and
foemen worthy of your steel. Is it
any more than fair that we, the sons
of those who went to the frontin 1861,
should desire somewhat similar condi-
tions in 1892 And that expressed
the sentiment of 95 per cent. of the
American volunteers. There is no
combination of circumstances that
would induce me to cross the Pacific
in a troopship to fight those Filipinos
again, knowing how they feel, but if
we should get into war with some
European country in the cause of hui
mainly or to extend republican insti-
buttons, would hasten to IL recruiting
office as quick as my feet could carry
me.n
Commercial Advantages Small.
Mr.. Morgan then discussed the
islands from commercial standpoint.
He was of the opinion that they will
not materially add to the commerce of
the country, even though the present
policy of the administration is carried
out and we hold the islands, and pre-
dicted that it would cost us more in
money, not to speak of the blood, to
conquer the islands than will ever get
out of them.
He also was of the opinion that but
very few Americans would ever in
habit the islands and said it was a
poor place for poor man to go, as he
would have to compete with the ma
tiyes, and that would mean starry
tion.
In conclusion Mr.. Morgan said he
believed that the wise thing for our
government to do would be to assure
the Filipinos that if they would lay
down their arms they would be per-
mitted to establish a government of
their own people exclusively, under
the protection of the United States.
This, in his Judgment, would be the
right and honorable thing to do and
would be upholding the principles up
on which this republic is founded,
chat all governments derived their
just powers from the consent of the
governed. "-Chicago Record.

BAD MAN FROM
TEXAS GOES ON
THE WARPATH
MendenhaIl Tries to
Kill Castro.

William Mendenhall. an eX-sergeant IN
the Twentyfourth Infantry, attempted
yesterday afternoon to murder John Cas-
tro. saloon-keeper at 81 Pacific street.
1t was by the merest chance that he did
not succeed.
Mendenhall is half-Indian and half-ne-
gro, and boasts that he is the gamest
black beast that ever walked" He had
been haunting Castro's saloon for some
months. having become infatuated with
a woman who frequented 1t. About three
months ago he was arrested for disturb
Ing the peace, caused by his fancy for the
woman and on more than one occasion
since then he has caused a disturbance
IN the neighborhood.
Early yesterday morning Mendenhall
ne was thrown out. The woman had sent
him note asking him to call, and be-
cause the saloon-keeper refused to allow
him to see her he got angry and threat
ened to demolish the place
Yesterday afternoon Mendenhau got
hlled up. with Barbary Coast whisky
and ana purchased revolver. He went to
Castro's saloon, determined to wreak
vengeance on the man who had come be-
tween him and the woman. Castro was
standing in front of the bar. and as Men
denhall opened the saloon door tbey weTa
close to each other. Mendenhall pulled
the revolver out Of his pocket, and with
out saying word fired d shot at Castro.
The bullet grazed the saloon mans ear,
and so close was the revolver to him that
ms ear was powder marked The bullet
struck an oak frame surrounding a pic
ture of William Jennings Bryan, the apos-
tie OF free silver, and lodged in the wall
There were some friends of Castro in
the saloon at the time, and before Men
denhall could fire again they rushed upon
him, and after disarming him gave him
an unmerclful beating. Sergeant Chris
ttansen and some officers were apprised
Of the shooting and were on the scene in
time to save Mendenhalrs life He was
taken to the Harbor Hospital, where cuts

at the time, and Mendenhall made If plain
TO his Honor that he came from Cieve-
land, Tex, and was a bad man to fool
with,
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-16

He affirms a deep and hard truth ("As
You Like It," I'LL, ill.,, 19): 'The truest
poetry is the most feigning." He per-
ceives that art may surpass nature
c'Venus and Adonis,'' 2S9 ff):
Look when painter would surpass the life.
In lfmning out well-proportioned steed,
His art with natures workmanship at strife,
AS If the dead the living should exceed;
So did this horse excel common one
In shape, in courage color, pace and bone.
And in the perplexed question concerning
the relative superiority of art and nature
he gives an illuminative decision C'Win-
ter's Tale ~, iv., SO ff.):
Made better by means,
But nature makes that mean; so over that art
Which you say adds to nature Is an art
That nature makes.
There is art
Which does mend nature, change it rather, but
The art Itself is nature.
Finally, when he speaks of "the elegancy,
facility and golden cadence of poesy," he
has at once named the trait by which the
unlettered most readily recognize 1t, and
the quantity of which the greatest mas
ters are the quickest to appreciate the
charm. Shakespeare studied nature, but
he labored at an art: and the measure of
his success in touching the hearts of men
Is the perfection which his art attained.
So we may, If we will begin by looking
in Shakespeare for these six things. We
may see how he loves, and studies, ana
reveals man in brutes-the human soul in
a human body-in word which thwarts,
perplexes. amuses or inspires him, and
amid other human beings from whom he
is strikingly dissimilar, and with whom
he is essentially akin. Then we may OBJ
serve how Shakespeare never persistently
and ultimately misleads US, but always
gives us ample materials for deciding
upon the true moral rank of each OF his
important characters. We may perceive
how he is interested to uphold the moral
order of the world, as revealed in social
and political institutions, and how he
lashes those who are guilty of any at
tempt to subvert this moral order, while
he beStowS honors with a lavish hand
upon those who are concerned in main
tanning it. We shall then discover, on
closer inspection, that the dramattst has
but slight sympathy with other worldli-
ness, with the spirit that, regarding man
as a stranger and pilgrim on the earth,
deliberately sets its affection on things
above. Next, we may follow his pencil
as, with vigorous or tender touches, it
paints for us the appearance and effects
of objects in the world of sense, rarely
giving us an object alone, but associating
them in groups, or uniting them by recip-
rocal action and influence, as he does
with his human beings. When we have
begun all this, we may at length study
Shakespeare's views concerning the won
derful art by which he was enabled to
perform these marvels, and investigate
the means by which they were actually
brought to pass.

RICH CLAIMS

Lieutenant Bennett Is
Home Again.

Lieutenant G. w Bennett. a we'll
known former police officer of this city,
returned 10 his home Saturday on the
ship Carrie and Annie after an absence
of two years in the gold fields Of Alaska
Lieutenant Bennett, who was one OF
the most popular members of the force
and who served in its ranks for more
than twenty years, left for the Klondike
two years ago hoping to restore his
broken health by the long sea voyage.
He returns much better physically, all
though his left arm is still partially par
alyzed from his former sickness. He has
been far more fortunate, however, than
many of those who have sought wealth
in the north.
Bennett yesterday recounted some Of
his adventures 20 friends who stopped
him at every step he took from his home
at S14 Iowa street. Every one in the Po
trero knows Lieutenant Bennett and they
were all anxious to say cordial word OF
greeting. He left for Alaska on the
Mayor Bidwell. a steamer owned by the
Independent Mining Company, of which
he is a member. A storm carried the yes
sci beyond st. Michael and threw them
right into the rich Nome district. Land
