MANILA TRUSTS TO BLAME.
Maj Strong, just HOME from the Philip
pines, says AguInaIdo Il Being Hired
TO Fight the AElsrIcans.

New York, Nov. Is. Maj. Putnam
Bradlee Strong, son Of ex-8Iayor Strong,
and formerly Of Gen. Macarthur staff
IN the Philippines, talked to the mem
bers Of the Plaza republican club last
night about expansion He said:
Manila has trusts, powerful cOmbi-
nations Of natives who have grown
wealthy in the sugar and hemp trade,
and those trusts are responsible for all
the fighting that is going on in the
islands to-day. The native magnates
are afraid Of American competition and
have hired AguinaldO to fight our army.
He is a tool Of the trusts and his army
is scared into service by pictures OF US
bayoneting North American Indians,
each picture having a legend about the
Indian and a warning that the fate Of
the LuzOn natives will be the same.
"AguinaldO has no idea Of patriot
ism His men have no idea of indie
pendence, as we understand it in this
country. But the capture or death Of
Aguinaldo viii not end the war. The
trusts would hire another general to
take his placs. The war will not end
until we can capture the $500 Mauser
rifles now in the hands Of the enemy"

Samoan island which falls to the
United States in the recent arrange
ment completed between Germany and
England, subject to ratification by the
United States government, becomes an
extremely valuable addition to the
possessions Of the United States in the
Pacific. With but a small area and
population, which, according to the
treasury bureau Of statistics, are but
81 square miles and 1000 population, it
possesses the most valuable island har-

siderable comment. Rev. v. D. Nc

the action Of these clergymen by aP-
plying for duty in the islands again,
but he IS the only chaplain now in this
country who has done so.
