Fllipinos Sacrifices and Results

The rainy season has begun in
the Philippines and the insurgents
have not yet surrendered to the
American forces. For the next four
months military operations will
have to be practically suspended,
which means that our troops must
be concentrated in Manila and few
other important points within reach
of the war ships, as it did not do
to let them remain scattered in the
interior, at the mercy of the un-
healthful climate and the seasoned
enemy.
Thousands of the Filipinos have
been killed during the past few
months and hundreds Of our men
have perished, while many more
have contracted constitution-break
ing diseases; and all that we will
have to show for the slaughter and
sacrifices are stretches of burned and
ruined villages. We have not con-
quered the country, and we never
will until we have exterminated the
natives or granted them what they
are fighting for-the right of self
government.
Our generals out there are calling
for much lrrger army than they
possess, and it is becoming quite
clear that those who predicted that
at least one hundred thousand men
would have to be sent over if any
impression was to be made on the
Filipinos were not far out of the
way, if they were at al. About one
out OF every twenty of the soldiers
who have already landed is dead
and nearly one half ofthose that are
left alive either are or have been il
the hospitals with diseases, the effec
of which will cling to most of then
for the rest of their days.
The cost in human lives and il
human suffering of tire imper
ial expansion policy of McKinle,
and Hanna is already enormous, bu
it is as nothing compared with wha
is before us if halt is not called OF
the brutal work. AS for the none,
that has been, and continues to be

Filipinos, it would, if expended a

The war in the Philippines is
still progressing, and the end is as
distant to-day as it was a month
ago. General Lawton on tuesday
encountered the largest body of
men which has met our troops, and
the fight is reported to have been a
hard one, with heavy casualties.
When will there be cessation OF
hostilities? That is question that
cannot be answered. But it will
not be until Aguinaldo and his
army are cornered and compelled
to surrender. But that appears tc
be the difficulty, to corner him.

will profit by the lesson that this
result should teach them?

We now have new champion
pugilist. James J. Jeffries, the
California giant won the title i'll the
areana of the Coney Island Athletic
Club, last Friday night after eleven
rounds of the most scientific fight
ing ever witnessed in this country.
The result OF the encounter was an
awful surprise to the athletic world,
in general, and to two or three of
our local sporting inclined fellows
in particular who backed the Cor
nishman at odds of two to one. In
deed the people who had picked
Jeffries as a winner were few. Fitz
had been trained to the very letter,
and his condition when he entered
the ring, is conceded by all who saw
him to have been better than ever
before. But it is the old story, ''the
unexpected happened" and after
eleven rounds of fast fighting, in
which Jeffries had decidedly the
better of it, "Fitz" was knocked
down by terrific swing on the jaw
followed by stiff punch on the
neck. The crowd was the largest
that ever attended similar event in
this country. The vanquished cham
pion sized his defeat up about prop
er, when after the fight he said:"The
best man won. The result is proof
positive that youth and weight will
