Manila. June 24.-Details of the SELL
fencing Of Col. Arguelles, Il Filipino
commissioner, to twelve years impris-
onment, have just been obtained. 1t
was at first repc ted d. that his con-
domination by ths Filipinos was due
to the friendship he displayed toward
Americans, but the information just
received shows the accusation against
him was not based OH the peace con-
ferenccs ut Manila, as supposed. They
confirm President Schurman's belief in
his insincerity, and show that his aa-
vocacy of autonomy among the 1nsur-
gents was treated as treason. The
charge against the colonel was that III
conversation with Filipino officers he
predicted that disorders within the in
surgent territory would lead to civil
war. and, therefore, he said he con-
sidered autonomy under the Amer1-
cans preferable to independence. The
FiliDino congress tried him on the
charge Of treason. and heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally the
colonel was sentenced to death, but
this was COMMITTED to twelve years
Imprisonment on account Of his pre-
yious services to the cause, after an
eloquent plea made by his counsel.
Col. Arguclles is one of the most
conservative and respected men identl-
fed with the instruction. The rebels
have learned that the American vol
unteers are returning to the United
States. and the Filipino newspapers
show that they construe this to mean
that the Americans are abandoning
the war. and are encouraged thereby.

The most extraordinary book sale of
this century is that attending "What
Would Jesus Do?" by the Rev. Charles
Sheldon of Kansas. Over three million
copies have been sold in England
alone, while three other of his books,
published at a penny apiece, recently
ran through an edition of nine hun
dred thousand copies in fortnight.
While the poet laureate has lately
called upon our government to redress
the copyright laws respecting English
authors, twenty English publishers
have pirated Mr.. Sheldon's sermon
stories. The self-seeking, inconsider-
ate man is of no abiding city, nor can
any country call itself immune from
his predations.

The Filipino junta has been greatly
excited over a dispatch alleged to be
from Aguinaldo. in which he stated
that the Americans had promised to
grant independence. To show their
happiness, the junta gave largely at

amusement of the English. Consul

his oats from a feed bag. For his
companion, tin bucket holding the
necessary food had been provided. This
had somehow become displaced, and
the horse, unable to get his mouth in
to it. had thrashed about until he had
scattered his oats upon the ground. In
the midst Of his distress a man in lime
stained overalls appears. In his
dress and hurried gait 1t was easy to
recognize the workingman, eager for

women trust. and children love. May
bounteous dinners be his always!

ization OF the troops TO be added to
the army under the terms of the pend
ing reorganization bill i'm the regular
establishment instead of i'm the volun-
teer branch. The compromise measure
permits the President TO recruit such

added to the regular army i'm time OF
emergency from the natives of the is
lands OF Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines as he may elect Gen. Wheeler
argues that these men can be brought
to a much higher state Of efficiency and
be made OF greater value TO the mill
tary establishment If Incorporated in
the regular army than if in the volun-
teer branch.
The status of Gen. Wheeler himself
is said TO be such that he must take
some action towards choosing again
between the army and Congress within
a few days. Ii is believed at the war
department that If he retains his army
commission until afternoon on the 9Th
of March, next Saturday. he Will forfeit
his seat in the House OF Representa-
tives for the ensuing two years. under
