which every American was glad to
read in the newspapers at the time.
and to make good its own disloyal po-
sition. the Register forgets that in the
history since made. Aguinaldo has for
felted every bit of the credit he then
apparently deserved. Since the last
OF the testimonials to the services OF
Aguinaldo was received. other messages
have been received from Dewey and
our other American commanders. for
tho situation has changed. a fact which
our neighbor carefully ignores. The last
testimonial quoted by the Register was
received eight months ago: the first
one was received more than ten months
ago.
At that time the people Of the Philip
pines were at war with Spain, and joy
fully welcomed the appearance of the
Americans. whom they knew would
drive out the Spanish power. Shrewd,
conspiring Aguinaldo saw his opportun-
ity and took advantage Of 1t. His real
hand was not shown until Spain
surrendered. II he Is the Intelligent
person some people would have us be-
lieve. and perhaps he Is. he knew that
until the treaty Of peace was arranged,
signed and ratified by both Spain and
the United States. the war could not
end. and no form Of government outside
OF our military possession could be
adopted; that 1t took time to settle the
question, that 1t could only be settled
by Congress, after final peace-notwith-
standing all this, he organized force
and made war on the United States.
thus playing that sleeve card.
The entire situation Is reversed
from what 1t was when our command
ers had faith in his promises and his
pretended gratitude and friendship In
the heat OF the struggle with Spain last
June. July and August, the history of
which the Registers Public Document
No. G. covers.

alton Dewey and others were officially
giving the government eight and ten
months ago, the Information they have
been sending the government in the
past three months. 1t will be able to
find 1t in public documents with later
numbers, and Its own files. 1t seems
strange that We have in the United
States newspapers defending the treach-
cry OF this leader, who was working
from the very beginning for the end he
Is now trying to accomplish. his own
self-aggrandIzement : nothing more,
nothing less.
Why not stand by the American
flag? Why advocate the cause OF an
adventurer who is the worst enemy OF
his own people. and has proven himself
to be without spark of honor The
coming Congress is to settle these ques-
tons, and can be trusted to settle them
well.

He Smoke asa Brother.

London Tit-Bits: A certain curate
was OF a painfully nervous temperament
and in consequence was constantly
making awkward remarts-iltended as
compliments-to the Bishop and others.
Having distinguished himself in an un-
usual degree during gathering of
clergy at an afternoon tea at the bish-
ops palace. he was taken to task for
his failIngs by senior curate, who was
one of his companions on the way
home.
Look here, Bruce" said the senior,
decidedly. you are q donkey. Why
cannot you keep quiet instead of maxi
ing your nsslnlnc remarks? am speak
ing to you now as brother
Loud laughter interrupted him at
this point, and for moment he Won
dered why.

AGuinaldo is having an experience
which Is apt to open his eyes to the
realization that he is not fighting
Spain. The Americans have him on the
run. and IL they do not get possession
of him it will be wonder. The dra-
matte incident of Monday in the fight
near Marilao. like other recent Incl
dents, Indicate the small hold that Ag-
uinaldo has on the loyalty and affection
of his deluded followers. and how will
ing they are to see hostilities brought
to an end. This is not the only incl
dent of the sort. The humane treatment
OF these poor natives by the Ameri-
cans counted for something. a Spanish
force would have slaughtered them
then and there. for We have seen in
our own case that Spanish soldiers do
not always respect flag Of truce, even
when fighting recognized government.
The Filipino men represent no gov
ernment-simply the personality OF
O selfish and brutal adventurer.

Tho Mar Beef Inquiry.


We are told that the military board
OF inquiry investigating army beef.
having completed the long-drawn out
proceedings at Chicago, and returned
to Washington. will complete It's work
in about ten days. for which informa-
ton the public is duly grateful. Enough
evidence to prove that the beef furnish
ed the army was unfit for human beings
to eat was obtained long while ago
and there Is no reason why the work
should have dragged on as 1t has. The
papers have been filled with the scam
dial for many weeks and the public
has been Disguised and tired trying to
read 1t all.
No more nor no less has been proven
In the past two weeks than was known
before that, and the commissions find
Ing will doubtless be the same as it
would have been then, for there was
no doubt that these charges concerning
embalmed beef were justifiable; they
came from so many reliable sources.
The main point is to fix the RESPONSE
bility. whether it Is joint RESPONSE
bllity or a one-sided one. The board
of inquiry has already. possibly. made
up its mind on this point, and It viii
be matter of great relief when the
members render their decision.
This is what the public is interested
in most, for there is hardly any divi-
sion of opinion as to the other phase,
The sooner the matter is disposed Of
the better, and 1t Is relief to know
that In ten days the unsavory reading
with which the readers of the morning
papers have been RECALLED before break
fast every morning. to the Injury Of
their appetites, will be ended. In the
meantime, let us hope that there may
be no mistake in rendering the YER
dict.
Whatever may be the result. who
ever the responsibility is fixed upon. it
may be said that the most important
effect Of the whole business will be the
lesson that 1t carries with it. Should
1t become necessary to make future
contracts for canned goods to be sent
to an American army in q tropical

prices paid, and quite Us important as
the characters Of the contractors.
These matters can be regulated by
law. and doubtless will be. The Intel
ligencer cannot believe that there was
Intentional neglect In this matter ut all
points. The fault mainly seems to have
been In the preserving process, and In
the future this can, by proper provi-
sions, be avoided.

People who are all run down. who
are suffering from extreme debility and
have tried many remedies without
avail, are hardly to be blamed IL they
give up hope and settle down to endur-
ing their misery as best they can. But
there is no need to give up hope. There
is hardly any condition so bad but some
skillful physician can cure 1t. DR..
Greene, 35 West Fourteenth street, New
York city, the famous specialist and the
most successful physician in curing dis
eases, has cured thousands Of cases
when hope of cure had been given up.
Now II you are so afflicted you should

the death Of his mistress. He had licked her
finger the night before he showed the nrst

scratch and through that channel the virus
entered her system. The dogs well meant ca
