The newspaper Democracia, the organ Of

n0unces that it has decided 10 suspend

The paper was started at the sugges-

The paper has generally been a warm
supporter OF the administrations. The pro-
vost marshal recently threatened to sup
press il for publishing an editorial ass
serting that Manila streets were i'm
worse condition under the American than
they bad been under Spanish adminisua-
ton.
The Manila Times was also recently
warned with an intimation OF imprisOn-
ment and confscatOn, for printing am
editorial recommending the creation OF a
board Of charity commissioners to CON
troll the charitable institutions on ac-
count of rumors of the mismanagement
of charitable FUNDS by the church au-
thOritles
The newspapers complain bitterly that
the authorities exercise paternal super
vision threatening suppression, they
claim. for trifing errors in the puOlca-
ton of news not connected with public
matters. They also say the censorship
haudicaps newspaper enterprise by sup
pressing cable dispatches received from
respectable agencies. whose transmission
Is of an exceedingly costly character.
The matter suppress ed includes reports
OF government actions, among them beng
pbilippine and American occurrences
which might give the Filpinos an unfa-
vorable opinion of the United States.
