Washington, July 29.-The secretary
of the Dewey fund requests the pub
lication of the following statement:
"There can no longer be any doubt

chased by popular subscription for
Admiral George Dewey. At meet

Want the Provision Repeated,

New York, July 2s.-The American
Travellers Defense association has
heen organized with the view of sccur-
ing the repeal of the provision of the
Dingley bill which imposes a duty on
all wearing apparel and other personal
effects over 500 in value purchased
abroad and brought to this country
by returning residents of the United
States. 1t is proposed to form or
ganizations throughout the country
and to petition congress at its next
session for the repeal of the measure
referred to. The association basis its
opposition to the duty on the ground
that the enforcement of the provision
produces only an insignificant revenue
and affords no real protection to any
American industry; that it causes vex-
Gtions and unnecessary delays to trav-
elcrs and that it discriminates against
residents of the United States and in
favor of foreigners.

Steps to Raise the Poor.

The Salvation Army's experiment IN
colonization in this country consists
in the establishment of three colonies
Fort Amity, in the fertile valley OF
the Arkansas in Colorado; Fort Her
rick, about twenty miles from Cfevei,
land, Ohio, and Fort Romie, not far
from the famous Hotel del Monte, near
Monterey, Cal. /
In Fort Amity, right in the heart OF
the immense irrigation system of the
Great Plains Water Storage and
Amity Canal Company, there are now
one hundred colonists, men, women
and children. Fifty families will be
added this summer. The colonists
are doing better than the projectors
of the scheme expected. The prin..
cipal crop raised on the. settlement is
the famous Melted Gem cantaloupe, q
product for which Colorado is noted.
At Fort Herrick 2ss acres are under
cultivation by twenty-five colonists,;
who are engaged in general farm
work. More are being sent there.
Cottages have been erected, and as
the land is good and Cleveland not
too far away. the success ofthe settle

The fighting around Manila Of late
has not been of desperate character,
but has been harassing in its physical
requirements. This little black man,
the Filipino, who is causing US the
same kind of trouble that the boy ex-
periences with hornets nest, cannot
be understood in day. When cap
tured he acts as if his lot had fallen
among old friends. He grins and
points beyond our skirmishers, SEEM
ing to think that the aspect OF his
fleeing countrymen is huge joke.
The next minute but give him the
chance lie is likely to send bullet
into an Americans back. For such
an offence Major-Gene eral Anderson
once had Filipino strung up to a
tree on the spot, this being the only
American military execution thus far
recorded in the Philippines.
A giant private OF the Montanas
chose a different method. When he
was fred on, at a distance of about
ten yards and missed, he caught the
enemy, took his gun away from him,
and then laid him across his knees.
After he had vigorously applied a
piece OF bamboo, he seized the enemy
by the seat of the trousers and threw
him toward the rear.

me catch you playing with firearms
again"

Not less trying is the sight OF the
actual ceremony of interment. We do
not smoke long cigars at funerals, nor
do we chatter ceaselcssly thereat; both
these things are done by Filipinos.
But then, they do many things that
we do not do. They wash rice in the
dirty Paslg. Girls of ten and twelve
years smoke cigars. Females, old and
Young, wear the same dropping-otf-

perhaps, an advantage for man OF

style never changes.

The author is an unnamed member of

he tells friend in the East that "it

was incarnate Americanism. He
calls his companions "those who on
