The Control ofthe Philippine.

Hone KoSG, Jan. 16.-The censor
ship at Mauila is OF the siricIest kind
and this lends color to the stories OF the
refugees that there Is disafection
amoog the American volunteers il the
Islands. Il Is explained that the Ameri-
cans control only the territory actually
occupied by their soldiers. The rest OF
Luzou Is under the sway OF Aguinaldo,
VINO i obtaining recruits for his army
there without trouble. F!lipinos hers
claim to have proofs that the United
States agreed TO the independence Of
the Philippines and this statement i
being used with effect to stir up tee "a
tives in the islands. British officers
who have studied the situation say tba.
unless compromise with the insurgents
Is made, the Americans will require at
least 5000 men 10 conquer and main
tain peace in the Islands. Instances
are reported OF Spaniards hobnobbing
with Filipinos, and the former. with
desire to revenge themselves On the
Americans, are evidently instiga!ing
the natives to make trouble.

THE YEgMFoR2l APPESDIx.-Dr.
J. Morrison. OF Washington, has writ
ten to one of OF the papers in that city
an interesting article on appendicitis.
The doctor sfirms that the appendix
cseci vermifosmis, though apparently
very Insignificant organ is OF vital i'm
portance in the process of digestion.
the appendix, he says, is no more IL
able to disease than any OF the other
organs of digestion, and its excision Is
not only improper, but criminal. Il is
a normal part of every human being,
and its removal Is never justihable,
since appendicitis is always smenable
TO internal medication. 1t is popular
impression that inflammation OF this or
gan Is caused b q grape seed or other
similar foreign body lodging in it, but
this is not always tue, for foreign bod
les have frequently been found in il,
without causing any inconvenience
whatever. 4 case is recorded OF an in
sane person, in whose appendix several
common pins were found, and yet the
organ was perfectly healthy, death
having occurred from other causes.
