Hence It is all the morS necessary
that our oficial representative In the
Philippines should express himself with
the greatest emphasis and have no
chance tor doubt or QuibblinS. The ul-
ttmatun Of active war and no delay
was demanded imperatively.
OF course the natives are not 10

their spirits alive.

Aieh SpiElts awe
The Filipinos are busiest Jus, now
circulating reports that the trend OF
public opinion in this country Is aEains;
the American procedure in the islands.
They are informed by this junta that
majority Of all the states have pro.
nounced against the policy Of the ad-
ministraton. and that they have only
to wait until the next general election
when the United States will grant them
their independence.
'Aguinaldo himself is shrewd, but not
clever. He circulates and corroborates
all the jun:a sends out. II his peopl,
could be induced to accept the situa-
lion they would desert him tomorrow
So lcng as those fellows think they
have ghost Of a show OF holding up
their end they will maintain the r.
bellion, and II the American army
fights them at every hand, I believe
they will turn as a whole and come
hocking into our camp and will have no
further use for that prince Of conf
d"nce operators, Agulnaldo"

A Valuable Means of Rescue.

In reading the accounts Of the
e employed by the New York fire
department in rescuing the inmates
of the Windsor hotel, says a CORE
spondent of the Washington Star, 1
have seen no mention of a continuance
which, to my knowledge, has been in
use in Germany for the past forty
years. 1t is the sack or tunnel, open
at both ends, easily rolled up while
carried on the truck or hose carriages,
one end carried up the ladder by the
firemen. The person at the window of
the burning building enters it, or, IL
too demoralized, is inserted, and grad
ually slides to earth. OF late years
this sack has been made freproof by
the application of incombustible chem
icals, so that 1t is proof against fire
as well as smoke. The inbred modes
ty of women is such that they will re-
main in the burning building to the
last moment rather than run the risk
of exposing their person to the assem-
bled crowd below. They will not ever
descend n fire escape, and no mount
of danger will counteract that feeling.
The same objection prevails against
their use of n rope; consequently, as
q last resort, they throw themselves
out of the window from any height. L
have at trials seen as many as n dozen
persons at a time inserted into these
tunnels by firemen, and as they travel
Mt the same rate Of speed they do not
come in contact with each ether, and
are landed safe and sound on terra
tirma. Every fire apparatus should
carry these c~ontrivances, and firemen
should be periodically drilled In their
use. Public exhibitions of this kind
on such high buildings as the Wash
ington Loan and Trust would tend to
get the community familiar with their
use and usefulness. They are easily
shifted from window to window, but
there should be enough Of them to
supply all ordinary needs, and as
there are usually at least half Il dozen
pieces of apparatus at each fire, each
carrying one or more fire escapes (the
truck could readily carry three), there
would be no lack of this means Of es-
cape.
