FAULTS OF THE PEOPLE.

II is easy enough TO understand the cause OF
the aversion that our people feel toward the
native because near acquaintance does not con
duce 10 admiration. The native is not attractive
I'm any way From altruistic views OF human
ity he presents he spectacle Of q man persist
ing in his efforts to free himself from a tyrant.
and sacrificing his all even 70 life itself toward
that purpose, and he does this year after year
against discouragng odds with no success in
sight but vet with hope and courage. At last
he succeeds through the assistance Of a giant:
but the latter finds that he IS not very clean nor
truthful. nor at all industrious and therefore
makes slave Of him. and his condition is in
no wise improved The native is not attractive
- one with American bringing up, but ne has
had such poor opportunities that ne should not
be blamed.
do think that the situation here demands
statesman Of the bIoadest experience. who
would come here. not from personal ambition
but from honest desire TO benefit and properly
care for the interests OF our own country. and
TO do what is possible for the native. The lat
that he will learn many wants after knowing us.
AT present he has but few and these are all
easily satisfied The result Is that he is not at
all Industrious and II is disappointing TO hire
Il man and 10 have him Unexpectedly quit your
enploy after short time because he has
enough money TO carry himself along for
while That is a great habit here.

The sensational advance in the forenoon
brought about realizing sales on an
enormous scale in the late session.
Foreign exchange was strong and high
or. especially on short bills There was
no satisfactory supply of commercial
bills. and the April settlements were
given as a reason for the increased re-
hitting demand which was said to be I'M
connected with any anticipation of the
settlement of the Philippine indemnity
money. There was furry in call
money, which went as high as per cent.
and closed at 31a per cent These CIR
cumstances, together with the early
strength in wheat. accelerated the after
noon decline which embraced even more
stocks than were prominent on the rise
Brooklyn Transit made an extreme ad-
vance of 8 points, dropped over ana
closed with net advance of points
from the top. Although Northwest
closed with a gain of less than ) points,
it had at one time risen the extreme
of seven. New York Central, which at
one time was up 53s retained less than
3 points of the rise These stocks were
unusually active and revived talk of the
possibility of consolidation. 1t was
said that there had been enormous reallz-
ing by interests active i'll manipulating
the rise in several stocks which were
easily taken because of the purchasing
demand aroused by their recent strength.
This, however, is Il matter ofmere con-
lecture. Reports of a hitch i'll the DENY
cry of certain properties to the Contn-
entail Tobacco Company and talk of the
possibility of Il trade fight kept the to-
bacco stocks weak most of the day,
American Tobacco off over 3 points and
Continental 25s.
Federal Steel and similar properties
suffered on realizations. Weakness also
developed in General Electric, Rubber,
Atchison, preferred, and the Coalers.
The Granger stocks showed good gains
in the early period of strength and re-
coded with the rest of the market in
the early afternoon. The market closed
weak and active with many sharp losses.
Railroad bonds participated fully in
the yagaries of stocks to-day, but the
range was well within the point of the
most active issues. Total sales

New York, March 29.--In anticipation
of the brace of holidays at hand in the
cotton markets of this country and

ted with much caution to-day, and not
much is expected of the market for the
rest of the week unless there should
develop some unforeseen factor. The
factory, but there was little in the way
of support from outside interests, and
local sentiment was bearisnly inclined.
The opening call developed barely
steady feeling with prices unchanged
to l point higher for old crop positions
and ] to :, points lower for new crop
positions. Subsequent business increased
the decline to 46I5 points, later cables
being unsatisfactory. Following the
call there was a sudden upward move

bulletin, which caused a demand from
shorts who We're alarmed by tine indica-
tions of cold rains for the Atlantic
States and unreasonable weather for
the rest of the cotton belt. The loss

deal of irregularity. At noon lie lowest
prices were again current. still later
business showed lack of resolution on
both sides of the account, and business
for the day was small, with the market
finally quiet at n net loss of to 6

1T is WAR NOT A PICNIC.
GEN. OTIS ASSERTS MANILA is NO
PLACE FOR WOMEN.

Officers Wives Leaving on Govern
ment TranspOrts-FiIipin Plan
ned an Attack which They Did Not
Carry Out-TwO Companies of
Newly Arrived Men Waded in and
Suppressed a Whole Regiment of
Insurgents.
Manila, March 12, $50 p. m.-The Fill
pinos apparently had planned an attack
upon the lines of Gen. Otis and Gen. Hale
this morning, but their courage seemed
to fail them, though they fired signals
and afterward kept up the fusilade along
the American front for an hour.
Our troops, in obedience to orders, re-
Trained from shooting, with the exception
of two companies of newly arrived men,
who replied until they had suppressed a
regiment of. Aguinaldo's red brigade.
This body of rebels seemed under bet
ter leadership than most of the others.
and a white man was seen among the Off
GERS, endeavoring to lead them TO the at
tack, but apparently all efforts to induce
them to leave the trenches were futile.
The American authorities in Manila say
the city is now so effectively policed that
a serious outbreak is impossible. They
believe that the natives are cowed.
The presence of the families of officers
is discouraged, and many are leaving on
board the United States transports, some
going to Japan for temporary residence.
Gen. Otis has remarked: Manila is no
place for women. This is a war, not a
picnic"
The British cruiser Narcissus has sailed
for various ports in the island of Luzon
to take on board British subjects who de-
sire protection.
This afternoon the Twentieth and
