Those who suppose the Filipinos are
going to wage IA guerrilla war of many
years mistake the character of those
people. They did not wage any such
war against Spain. They were beaten
in few fights by the Spaniards, and
then they subsidized for a time. and
started q new rehellion whenever they
thought thsf pie favorable. Spain had
no. such trolble with the Tilipinos as
she had with the cubans. The Filipino
rebellion was ended several months
before the war between Spain and the
United States began. Probably if the
United States had not attacked Spain
the rebellion which Spain suppressed
in''the Philippines in 1897 would stay
suppressed for many years 1t was
the rebellion in Cuba. and the drain
which that conflict made upon Spain
resources. which melted the Filipinos
to rise in the first place. The United
States will have no such trouble on it;
hands as Spain had when the Malays
rose. The Filipino rebellion agains
the United States is not likely to. b,
either long or formidable. - =.

What was nearly a disastrous hre took
place at the Baptist church yestry at Bet

heated lamp exploded. The lamp was i'm

II was some time before the fire could be

this church has been on fire in two weeks
and it Is safe to say greater care will be
exercised in the future. even though lin

A Fair start.

Young men sometimes complain thai
they can never get any start in the
world for want of capital to begin with
Let such young men read the following
extract from an Grafton delivered by
Colonel Carr at Galesburg, ILL.,:
."The man who owns the most stores

himself out of it. The most successful

Then there are the social gatherings,
where each guest represents the title
of book, and everybody must guess

dressed all in black. She had a big
white circle on the arm of her gown,
and it was her only distinguishing
feature. Not a person in the audience

: Gomez IN ,Isayania.

= Anfericanized. Havana gave General
Gomez and the. remnant OF his army'a
glorious welcome, the other day. It
was the fourth anniversary of the
opening day of the last Cuban struggle
for independence. and the festivities
were elaborate The old Cuban! vet
eran had marched the length Of the
island to reach the city. and: the
triumph was mainly in his honor. Gu
ban and American troops marched in
the long PROCESSION; the two flags iiew
side by side; and the floats in the
parade were emblematic of the friend
shin and fraternity of the Americans
and Cubans. ~
The gallant General Chaffee invited
the old warrior to accompany linn to
Havana on the Hartford. but he de-
clined, because he had promised 20
make the trip overland. In this way
he let the people whom he has done SO
much to free get sight of him. and he
enjoyed tnelT hospitality II 10 eSIucul
that the many weary months in the
field and storm and rain and general
exposure have not broken the splendid
spirit of this grand old man. At the
ball at Matanzas he shook hands with
hundreds, and danced in qlsadrille
with the wife of the American general.
1t is easy TO appreciate the intense
enthusiasm that the people of Cuba
must feel for Gomez. With ali the
faults that sanay be mentioned and all
the criticisms that may be made, the
fact remains that from first to last
and in the other wars too-GOmez was
firm, constant and unyielding. 1t IS
natural that he should want to get as
much for his troops as he can. and. If
we think that it is rather hard that We
should have to pay few more millions
after all the cost of the war, We must
remember that there are two points of
view. and that Gomez. in his apprecia-
ton of the case. simply wants to get
all he can for the men who have re-
manned with him for years without pay
or abundant food.

Gen. Otis Army At Manila.

The troops under command of Gen
eral Otis in the Philippines have not
been idle since they reached that far
away land. They have been called
upou- to sperform almost every sort OF
service that can possibly fall to the lot
Of a soldier. They have not only
fought Spaniards and Filipinos, but
they have acted as firemen and police
. men. and even as sanitarians. helping
to hiring about more healthfui condi-
lions in Manila and the surrounding
country. Very few complaints nave
been heard from these men, and those
that have come are from the fellows
who, would complain. no matter how
pleasant their work and their sur
roundings might be. The duties have
been we'll performed. and those that
are coming will be handled in the same
way. Further outbreaks are to be ex-
pected,. and the severe lessons that
have been and will be taught these
Filipinos must finally convince them
that they have been following an UNI
wise leader, and that peace is far bet
ter for them than war.
Fortunately the losses to the Ameri-
can army in the Philippines have been
very light There has been but little
sickness among the soldiers and the
health of the men generally has been
very good. The army there now foots
up total of about $4,000 men. 1000 more
and two regiments, now stationed at
New York and San Antonio. will soon
be sent on to add to the strength of
General Otis command. This will
make a force of nearly $4,000, probably
all that will be needed unless the Fill
pinos become far more daring and
dangerous than is yet the case.
The conditions that now prevail in
and around Manila do not promise any
immediate peace for the islands.
Aguinaldo and his advisers, grown
desperate themselves, are urging their
misguided followers on to desperate
attacks in which they must know they
have no hope Of success. The attempts
made to destroy the city by fire. with
no thought of the wreck and ruin that
would come from such conflagration.
show the character of these men, when
their passions have been inflamed by
the infammatOry speeches and pro-
nunciamentos of their leaders. Aguf-
naldo has told them and has convinced
them that American supremacy in the
Islands means a worse fate for them
than the tyranny of Spain. and until
they learn the truth they will keep up
their fighting. The lesson will come to
them in time. but the cost of teaching
1t will not be small.
