ONE QUALITY
The Standard Drug Store,
100 Eastern Ave.
Looks Ominous.

The papers published Tuesday a
declaration from the newspaper cor
respondents at Manila which looks
ominous on the face of it. The dis
patch indicates that affairs in the
Philippines are not as have been rep
resented and furnish, of course,
ample ammunition for the antrim
perialists to continue their attacks
on President McKinley's course. 1t
would have been wiser to have sent
this direct to the White House, but
it is now given to the world and will
have great weight in determining
the future policy in those islands.
Here is the declaration;
The undersigned, being all staff cor
respondents OF American newspapers
stationed in Manila, unite in this state
ment:
1--WE believe that, owing to official dis
patches from Manila made public in
Washington, the people OF the United
States have not received impression OF
the situation in the Philippines, but that
these dispatches have presented an ultra
optimistic view that is not shared by the
general officers in the field.
1--WE believe the dispatches incorrectly
represent the existing conditions among
the Filipinos in respect to internal dssen
tons and decentralization resulting from
the American campaign and to thu
brigand character OF our army
1--WE believe the dispatches err in thu
declaration that the situation is well il
hand and in the assumption that tn
insurrecton can be speedily ended with
out greatly increased force.
1--WE think the tenacity of the Filipino
purpose has been underestimate ant
that the statements are unfounded tina
volunteers are willing to engagein furthe
service.
THE censorship has compelled us t.
participate in this Misrepresentation b.
exciting or altering uncontroverte
statement Of facts on the plea, as Ger
Otis stated, that they would alarm tn
people at home, or have the people c
the United States by the ears
Specifications Prohibition Of re
ports, suppression OF full reports of fiel
operations in the event of failure, nun
bers OF heat prostrations in the helC
systematic minimzation OF naval opera
tons, and suppression OF complete r
ports of the situation.

A NEW ENGINE ORDERED. !.
At Last Steps Are Taken to Furnish
Better Lights.

As indicated in yesterdays News and
Observer the Raleigh Electric Company
Is at last taking steps toward giving
the city and its people better lights.
At meeting OF the directors Of the
company held yesterday arrangements
were made for the installation within
the next few days of an additional en-
CINE at the power house to meet the
great demands upon the system.
Speaking of the meeting and the decis-
ion to buy new machinery President
VIM. Andrews said:
The lighting business has increased
to such extent rs to necessitate the use
Of more engine power than is at present
available and the president, together
with DR.. Jno II. McAden and Mr.. J. II.
Cutler as an advisory committee, was
authorized to negotiate for the purchase
and installation at the earliest possible
moment, of a 500 horsepower engine.
The directors are determined to spare
no expense in making the system, both
railway and electric lighting, equal to
the largest demands of the city whose
people have been so kind and partial
to the company in every way"
Mr.. Andrews further said that it
would take some FIVE or six months to
have the new five hundred horsepower
engine built and installed. In the
meaptime, however, a temporary engine
viii be put in. This was ordered yes
terday by telegraph and, Mr.. Andrews
says. will be running within three
weeks.
He thinks with this arrangement he
can manage to give satisfactory lights
and power until the new large engine is
Installed.
