TV7HE present rebellion in the
Philippines is but practically
Il continuation of that which con-
fronted Spain in 1896, and which result
ed in the establishment Of the Philip
pine republic as it still exists. In fact,
nearly all of theanany praciamationsi
issued by the Filipinos at the breaking
out of hostilities between Spain and the
United States announced that because
the treaty made with the Filipino lead
ers, known as the treaty of Biac-na-
bato, had not been fulfilled the leaders
of that rebellion were absolved from
any agreement they had made with the
Spanish. and that they We're called upon
to again take up arms in behalf of the
Filipino people against Spain and as al
lies Of the Americans. And so it is that
the present rebellion is. but a legacy left
US by Spain. A history Of that rebellion
and the esta blishmcnt OF the Philippine
republic is not uninteresting.
AS far back as 1910 Spain had given
the native Filipinos taste of that po-
litical liberty which afterward cost the
motner country SO deafly. MS came
as result of the first suffrage bill ever
passed in Spain, which was done in jan
uary, 1910. Under this law deputies
chosen by the people were assembled
at Madrid from all Of the Spanish colo
MES. From time to time until 1887 the
islands were represented in the Span
ish cortes, but after 1887 such political
privileges were denied the islanders,

break of the rebellion he issued proc
la1nation on his own account and be-
gan rallying force of natives around
him. This proclamation, while the first
issued by the rebels, did not state the
objects of the rebellion.
1t was not until October, 1896, that
any definite purpose was announced by
the rebel leaders. Then the Tagal re
public was established by proclama-
ton. During this time the fame and
influence of Aguinaldo had spread rap
idly, but it was still not sufficient for
him to secure the presidency of the new
republic, and Andreas Bonifacio was
chosen the president by the leaders of
the rebellion. But few months later
Bonifacio died and Aguinaldo succeed
ed him as the rebel leader, a position
which he has retained ever since.
While the struggle lasted for a year
and half, the rebels never won any de-
cisive battle, but by a system of guer-
rilla warfare kept the territory around
Manila continually harassed. The
Spanish captain general was unable 10
secure from Spain sufficient troops to
garrison the entire affected territory.
10000 men being the greatest number
of soldiers the home government could
send him, because of the continued
drain caused by the Cuban rebellion,
and he was glad to secure peace on any
terms which would assure Spanish SOW
ereignty. The peace treaty between
the Spanish government and the reb-

lenger. Expenses Of building, fitting out
and maintaining these boats, the great
expenditures by the thousands of en-
thusiasts who have at this early date
LEASED every steamer available for fol-
lowing the yachts, and the many items
such as railroad fares, hotel expenses
and newspaper expenses in getting
news and imparting it to the public,
all help to swell the cost of the race
to the big figures.
Race day, affairs of state, business
and household matters and almost
every ordinary transaction will be sub
ordinated to the query: Who wins?
So fixed and honored by precedent is
the international struggle that the

Law Wilson has oeFD"l rouoss'
rather ostentatiously shown that the
young man is in no financial need of
reconciliation with Papa Vanderbilt.
And now an inopportune quarrel with
brother-in-law Harry Payne Whitney
over yacht race in Newport has
cast young 'Corny Van" into deeper
yanderbiltian disapproyaI than ever.
For Payne Whitney, who married the
sister of Cornelius, is high in favor.
In all there are five children in the
Cornelius Vanderbilt household; be-
sides the married ones there are Alfred
Gwynne, who has just graduated from
college; Reggy, the schoolboy, and
Gladys, young girl in short frocks,
who will come out in a year or so.
All the famous quarrels of the Van-
derbilts have taken place in Newport.
It was there that Cornelius Vanderbilt
offered to restore his son to favor il
only he need not meet ssthat woman!"
now his daughter-in-law, and the young
man indignantly and creditably re-
fused. 1t was there that Ghauncey NJ.
Depew wiped his heated brow and des-
canted eloquently Of the trials OF peace

more eloquence than he poured forth in
vain to single auditor, Cornelius Vans

able first quarrel several years ago, now
unhappily renewed.

to show your knowledge of art matters
is to pitch into some body. Now I'll
confess that before went abroad and
did. Didn't see how statues could be
any uglier than ours. But the others
are just as bad. I'll go further: The
Farragut statue in Madison square is
the finest I've seen anywhere else in
the world. The old boy has his cap
on and his fighting clothes, and the.
wind is blowing his coat skirts back
With a flap and he looks fit for the
open air, not a bit chilly, you know,
But you take an Ohio statesman with

in the street bareheaded, and he looks
pretty tough, l grant; but not any
tougher thar a fat Briton similarly
placed in Liverpool or Manchester.
.Now there's the Heine statue. 1t
was made by an accomplished sculptor
at the suggestion of the late empress
of Austria. She dropped the scheme,
and no German city would accept the
thing, not because it was bad, but be-
cause of Heine's race. So the friends
of the dead poet and of the sculptor
shipped il to New York, and all sorts
of people protested against setting il
up; and they're right. It's bad. A
poet doesn't do his work out of doors
like an admiial-it cant help being
bad And now, after years of fighting

Squadron cup from the Aurora, will be

rect supervision of the New York

Enough interest has been shown in
the building of these water swans, the
launchings thousands of miles apart,
and in the deep water trials that were
to bring either disappointment or keen
satisfaction to the designers, to assure
the owners of the boats that their
pleasure or disappointment will be
shared with the people of the two great
IAnglo-Saxon nations.
