SECRETARY LONG, Senator Chandler
and the Methodist preachers associa-
ton Of Chicago, approve the slaughter
of the Filipinos for lighting for their
homes and fresides and for the liberty
and independence OF their native land.
Why, certainly! The simple minded
half savsges should have surrendered
all they had upon the first demand OF
the American army, and been thankful
that their lives were not taken along
with their property. And then, too,
as the o. S. army had the might to en-
force its demand, according to the good
old rule, ii, of course, had the right to
do so.

GERMAN ADVICE.

The newspapers of Germany, COM
menting upon the latest news from the
Philippines, express the hope that the
United States will now end the HOSTILE
ties in the far East. The Frank
furter Zeltung says:
eve trust that President Mckinley
and his advisors will not be misled by
jinjo shoutings, but that they will listen
to the voice of the Filipinos as express
ed through their leaders and to the
voice of the American nation as eX-
pressed by the serious press and the
declarations of sober-minded politicians.
We have never doubted the ability Of
the Americans to enforce their will in
the Philippines, but now it seems that
the moment has come to make good the
wrong done and bring their material
interests in accord with the dictates of
Justice"
The Vossiche zeitung, basing its
comment upon private advices from
the Philippines. Gays that the con-
tinuance of the war is inhicting grave
injury upon German commercial inter-
ests. 1t also states that the German
consul at Iloilo made list Of every
thing belonging to German citizens
there which was destroyed or injured
in the bombardment, and submitted it
to General Otis. In reply, the consul
received from General Otis statement
that the United States will not pay the
| damages claimed, as Iloilo at the time
of the bombardment was still in the
possession of the Spaniards. Other
German merchants of Iloilo who made
representations of a like character to
General Otis received similar replies.

rHr SLOANE DIVORCE.

There is a good deal of talk in New
York about the great amount OF secre-
CIV with which the divorce proceedings
ia the case of Mr.. and Mrs. William L.
Sloaae were conducted, and it is being
pointed OUT that since the memorable
Flack case, in winch woman WAS d.
vorced from her husband without know
ing anything about it, there has been
no notable case where the proceedings
have been kept so quiet. 1t is appreclat.
ed by lawyers that the publication OF
charges in a case like that OF the
Sloanes can serve no good end, and yet
it is said that but for the wealth OF the
Sloapes, the secrecy with which the
divorce was granted would nave been
impossible. For the apparent discrlm-
inaton, as between the rich and the
Door, there is some criticism, but no in
yestigation is likely to follow. Forum
ately. the public has been spared tue
presentation of all the charges made,

troubles.
The State Trust Company, which
holds the real estate aud ether proper
ty deeds given by Mr.. Sloane 10 his
wife. notified him yesterday that it was
prepsred to return the property which
he had placed in its care in trust. It is
not believed in Kew York that MI
Sloane will touch it. IN case Mr.
Sloane does not within thirty days, the
trust company will probably sell the
property and apply the proceeds to the

Spanish Troops to be Withdrawn

Madrid, May 2.-Qrders have been
sent through General Rios, the Spanish
commander in the Philippines, for the
Spanish troops at Zamboanga, island of
Mindanoa, and in the Sulu islands to
eyacuate their position and return to
Spain without waiting to be relieved
by the Americans. The CO cooperation
involved in the Spanisrds holding gar.
risons in the Philippines until the
Americans could get sufficient reen.
forcements to take their places, has
excited strong protest 10 the press here
and the government has been urged for
some time to call home the Spanish
troops.

ONE year ago Manila was captured.
The strength of the Filipino army has
been variously estimated at from eight
TO thirty thousand, never more than
the latter. The army of General Otis
numbers thirty-fve thousand, and, in
addition, he has large fleet to support
him. This does not sustain the asset
ton that one American soldier is more
effective than ten Eastern "savages."

Canned tho FeIines and That Removed
the Great EVIL
Mr.. Symms' back garden has been
for many years infested with cats.
Affections sore from this particular
cause he bore, and boOtjacks were in
vain. The voices of the cats were to
the last degree exasperating TO his
nerves, and month ago Mr.. Symms
was apparently on the way 70 fall
victim to persistent insomnia. One
night a peculiarly melodious sound
fioated up tC Mr.. Symms' back win
dows. 1t was gentle. soothing sound,
of delicious timber, and, while totally
different from the yell of an ordinary
cat, it suggested what the voice Of
celestial and glorified cat in another
and better world might be. Mr. Symms
listened with admiration and delight,
and in short time was lulled to sleep
by the melOdiOus voice. In the morn
ing an investigation in the back gar
den resulted in the discovery of what
appeared to be a new species Of ami
mal-half cat and half tin cana sort
of connecting link between live cat
and canned sausage. 1t appears that
can containing little preserved sal
mon had been carelesSly thrown into
the garden by the servant A predatory
cat had squeezed her head into the can
in order to get at the salmon, and had
found out. when it was too late, that
the fragments of tin around the mouth
of the can prevented her withdrawing
her head. In these circumstances she
wandered about the garden, blind and
unable to escape. The voice was SO
modified by the can that it lost it's
and became the delicious music which
had charmed Mr.. Symms' midnight ear.
Mr. Symms at once saw that the means
of rendering all the cats of the neigh
borhood harmless was at his command.
The next night he placed twenty-four
salmon tins in his back garden and in
the morning he found that twenty-four
cats had bonneted themselves. For
nearly a week these animals roamed
or destroy Mr.. Symms' gera1iums,
while the neighDors called On that
gentleman to thank him for the pun.ic
spirit which had induced him to put
in his window such a delightful Eolian
harp. 1t was rot necessary to use
more than twenty-foui cans. for the
other cats of the neighborhood, the
moment they caught sight Of their
canned companions. fed. At the end
of week the cats gave up the efforts
to live with their heads malentiy
canned, and Mr.. SyHms buried them
in his garden.
