Friendly natives arriving here from
the country around San Isidro and San
Miguel report that a reign Of terrorism
has prevailed since the American
troops were Withdrawn from those
parts OF the islands. The insurgents
who are returning there deal vengeance
upon their countrymen who have
shown any friendship towards the
Americans during the latter'S occupa-
ton Of the territory. The friendlies
declare unoffending people are daily
being murdered and their houses burn
ed and their property coniiscated.
Plenty Of sympathizers with the insur-
rection remained during the American
stay ana they have been reporting
those instances of friendliness towards
our troops The refugees add that the
inhabitants We're badly oppressed by
the native soldiers before the American
occupation but their condition is worse
now. Doubtless there is much truth in
these reports. though such stories from
Filipino sources are always maGniiied.

Richard Croker who has just re-

learned some things during his alb
sence. James Creelman reports
Croker as saying concerning Bryan:
"Mr. Bryen's great strength, lies
in his sympathy for the knowledge
of the plain people. No other
American has ever been SO close to
the masses. He understands and
feels for the toiler and the toiler
understands and trusts him. / con-
slider him to be one of the greatest
mon America has produced"

There seems to be much typhoid
fever throughout the country,
though very little of it has devel-

inent physician yesterday. "Ty-
phoid fever seems to be the worst
form of disease prevalent in the
country at present. Most of the
contagious diseases such as small
pox, measles, eto, seems to have
been tempered down considerably
until they are not considered dan
gerous to the extent to which they
were only a few years ago. But

Tho Pubic Roads.

So far as public road is con-i
cerned, the people of Leon are
completely shut off from access to
the county seat. When the K. g.
NJ. was contemplated being built,
the then Commissioners, gave tho
Railroad Company an easement of
the public road, from away this
side of Leon, that then ran along
the river, and located and built am.
other, rtfhning in back of the town.
SThe road is steep and so rugged as .
10 be impossible in the wintssf
tif@e, during theiaummer, it Is i'm
posSible to haul a load fSser it.
Then fact ia that all the, people from
Leon UP to the county line, who.
when Trey have anything to haul
to Poi9bSr Pleasant, GROSS the Ka-
nepHna at or above the town, and.
ferrying is expensive. 1t is a
great draw-b back to the town of Le-
on, its Touring mill and its march-
ants, but greater Inconvenience
to the people in the surrounding
country. We have visited the site
and are of the opinion a good road,
at some expense, to be sure, could
be built along side of the railfoad
track, or near it. The County
Court ought not proorastinate too
long in repairing this gross Unjust
ce that was done these people by
a county court of long ago. There
