Aguinaldo's Wild Story.
London, May 16.-The Filipino junta
has received the following message
from Aguinaldo, ca,bled from Hong
Kong under date of May II:
THE Filipino government, in ac-
cordance with the general feeling Of the
country, has decided to continue the
war at all costs until independence is
secured. The Filipinos theoretically
refuse the American peace Overtures,
based on restricted autonomy coupled
with promises of subsequent self-gov-
eminent The FilipinOs demand a
strict fulfillment of the articles of
| the American constitution and treaties
contracted by the American representa-
| tives when imploring a Filipino alli-
|
All the Filipino generals support Agui-
naldo. Gen. Luna's reported Overtures
| for peace are untrue. Our army is
near Manila, simultaneously attacking
the whole American line. The heat
and rains are causing many casualties
in the American army. All the hospi
tails are crowded with sick and wound
ed Four hundred of the Cincinnati
regiment have been imprisoned by Gen.
Otis for INSTRUMENTATION in refusing to

Garrison for Zamboanga.
Washington, May 16.-It is expected
at the war department that Gen. Otis
will take steps at once to replace the
| Spanish garrison at Zamboanga with
| United States troops. The indica-
lions are that a comparatively small
| force will suffice, provided that it is
supported by one or two gunboats. The
place is one of great strategic import
ance, being the capital Of the island OF
Mindanao, the second largest in the
Philippine group and a good seaport. 1t
was to this point that the Spanish
| forces retreated from IlOilO when that
town was evacuated without notice to
| the American forces. The town is
easily defensible with a small artillery
| force. The fact that the insurgents
are in possession of rapid fire guns
makes the situation at ZambOanga
more serious, but it is believed here
that they have not large supply Of the
ammunition necessary to operate the
weapons, which will consequently soon
| become useless to them.
English Forced to Quit Work.
London, May 16.-The following dis
patch has been received by Lloyd's

will be left at the mills. A protest has
been filed by the British consul"

Speaking of the looting which is
frequently a feature of war, a writer
in the Washington Post says that
despite all the talk of looting by the
Germans in the Franco-Prussian war
the only bit of loot that is to be found
in Emperor Williams palace, and
which owes it's origin to the war of
1870, is little silver gilt flat-bot-
toned candlestick, which old Emperor
William used throughout his sojourn
at Versailles for the purpose of read
ing in bed at night, and which he car
ried away with him when he returned
to Germany as memento of the
campaign. According to the stories
long current in France, the imperial
palaces in Germany, as we'll as the
chateaus of the nobility, are stocked
with art treasures and valuables of
one kind and another brought back
from the French war in the shape of
loot.

man Upon Recent Polit-
tcal Move.
Former Republican State Chairman
Thomas V Cooper. in the last issue
of The Delaware County American, un-
Ger the caption "A Travesty Upon the
Right of Petition" says:
The folly of the insurgent leaders
passed its climax when it subjected
Senator Quay to trial on charges shown
to be wholly manufactured for politi-
cal effect. His acQuittal brought wis
dom to wiser men, who previously be-
lieved or doubted, because belief and
doubt are easy against a public man.
This class would now like to say the
incident is closed, for that position best
relieves a conscience strained in the
direction of the harshest thought. Still
others, and larger class, stand by the
verdict of an American jury represent
ing all shades of personal opinion.
And now the leaders who instituted
these proceedings have descended to
the line of protest. after being driven
from the fighting line in nearly every
primary of the state The state con-
vention was four-fifths for Quay, and
nearly every man of the one-fifth mi
nority represented the machines OF
Philadelphia and Pittsburg-machine
which represent local spoils and con-
tracts-machines which have fieeced
great municipalities without protest
from any insurgent organ. The Quay
machine is an ideal of strength, but no
machine is an ideal of purity. Our pol
itics have not so far advanced in good
directions to reach that stage--but it
is better than municipal machines. 1t
does not charge for appointments, it
does not get commissions on contracts,
it does not seek or sell the control OF
city franchises-the only places where
they are valuable. These facts are
known of all men acquainted with poll
tics. They are well known to the great
newspapers of Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, who make it their daily task TO
assail Quay and his organization. And
yet, from that quarter there is never
the shade of protest. A reform party
or wing of party ought to point to
reforms; it's organs should not shield
municipal venalities.
I'VE read protests against the parad-
ing of the gallant Tenth Pennsylvania
fresh from the Philippines, headed by
Colonel Barnett, the Republican nomi-
nee for state treasurer. His command
had reception at Pittsburg, limited at
as political; at Philadelphia, en- route

"In this year of Republican pros

Greensburg (Westmoreland county,
Press.
'The remarkable development of the
state of Pennsylvania in the past 25
years is an everlasting monument in
commemoration of the Republican
doctrine of American protection" de-
clares the Jeannette (Westmoreland

to the remotest part of the state. In
the 'gratefulness of its noon tide
shadow the American workingman sits
today sheltered from the burning and
consuming heat of free trade sun, and
eats his dinner from the best filled
pail he ever enjoyed. In this shadow,
in peace and comfort, and in heartfelt
content, he eats his fill and with re-
newed strength and courage completes
his task for today, and goes to his

true to the Republican doctrine OF

in the full enjoyment of the shade of
this movement our duty is clear. Our
Democratic friends would have us be-
lieve that these principles are not an
issue in this campaign, and that the
issues now in question are purely local.
Do not be deluded in this way. The
successful man in business keeps
close watch on the Future. To avoid
danger he looks ahead. A Republican
defeat in this county and state at this
coming election may prove disas-
trous calamity. Republicans cannot
afford to take backward step in this
march of progress. The question of
protection and free trade is always an
issue. The Democratic party is now,
as always, in favor of free trade"
GUFFEY'S GAME.
"Guffey, the boss of the Pennsylva-
mia Democracy, is encouraging and
aiding the fusion movement in Chester
county" says the Mount Union News,
"and it is announced by his partisans,
probably by his authority, that he will
direct his efforts next year towards
effecting such combinations in all the
counties of the state. with a view of
electing a legislature that will de-
feat Republican for United States

sibly Guffey himself Under the false
pretense of state issues and reform
he is Matching his schemes to catch
Republicans whose politics are thin
and adulterated, and to divide and
weaken their party in a campaign i'll
which not only the senatorship, but
congress and presidency will be de-
pending. The success of Guffey's fu-
sion plans means worse boss in con-
troll of Pennsylvania politics than any
that has ever been complained of in
the Republican party"

 The cover for the November number of Woman's Work, the official organ of the Alabama State Federation of Womens clubs is design by Miss Elizabeth Lahey 1 of this city. It is to be called the Golden l Rod number, and the cover is of golden rod | design. Miss Lahey's friends will look for ward with great interest to the appearance | of this number of Woman's Work as 1t is sure to be truly work of art. Miss Lahey is young woman whose natural artistic tendencies and talents have been educated and cultured by the best advantages in that line, in this country. She was student at the Artist-Artisan's institute in New York, for two years, and also studied under Mr. William Chase, one of the foremost artists of America. Her work in illustrations has appeared in Godey's, Munsey's, Four O'clock, and sev- eral other leading magazines of the United States. and has been highly praised by the best critics.
 Miss Lahey is the daughter of the late James Lahey, and a granddaughter of the late J. G. Winter, one of the most distin- guished of Alabama's citizens, and niece of Judge John G. Winter. She is young woman of beauty grace and mental parts of the highest order
 This, the first appearance of her work in her native state, will be hailed with hearty interest by those who feel a pride in the accomplishments of Alabamas daughters in the artistic world. It is to be hoped this golden rod gown of the Woman's club or gan of our state will tring it good luck and prosperity.
