ANOTHER TRAITOR TALKS,

ONE YEAR AGO,

While the great victory of the Amer
ican fleet at Santiago thrilled the na-
tion and made the Fourth of July OF
1893 one of the most memorable of any
celebrated since the day was first OBJ
served, trouble was brewing in the far
west-or east. The following is an
extract from letter written to Gen.
T. M. Anderson, U. S. A., at Cavite,
about that time, by Senor Aguinaldo:
1T is true that my government has
not been acknowledged by any of the
foreign powers; but we expect that
the great North American nation,
which struggled first for it's independ-
ence and afterwards for the abolition
of slavery, and is now actually strug-
Cling for the independence of Cuba,
will look upon it with greater benevo-
leuce than any other nation. Because
of this we have always acknowledged
the right of preference as to our graf
itude.

North Americans, and to the fav0rs
which we have received from Admiral
Dewey, and being more desirous than
any other of preventing any conflict
which would have as a result foreign
Intervention, which must be extremely
prejudicial not alone to my nation, but
also to that of your excellency, con-
slider it my duty to advise you of the
undesirability of disem barking United
States troops in the places conquered
by the Filipinos from the Spanish
without previous notice to this govern
ment, because as no formal agreement
yet exists between the two nations,
the Philippine people might consider
the occupation of it's territory by North
American troops as violation of it's
rights.
II comprehend that without the de.
struction of the Spanish squadron the
Philippine revolution would not have
advanced SO rapidly; because of this
I take the liberty of Indicating to your
excellency the necessities that before
disembarking troops you should COM
municate in writing to this government
the places that are to be occupied, and
also the object of the occupation, that
the people may be advised in due form
: and thus prevent the com mission of
any transgression against friendship,

THE DAY We CELEBRATE.

At sundowu, July 4, 1776, the Declar'
alton Of Independence of the American
colonies had been signed by the &C
credited delegates, which news was
received by the colonists with great
demonstrations of joy. Sustained by
the greatest constitutional lawyers,
the british parliament had decided
that England did have the power to tax
the colonies without their consent.
Legally they may have been right. but
they had ruthlessly trampled upon as
pirations for liberty in the breasts Of
the colonists and the die was cast.
They "rebelled against Great Britain.
Parliament repealed the obnoxious
provisions, but it availed not to ap-
pease the Americans. They had begun
to fight for the principle that Our
rights are inherent in US as men, and
they would not abandon it. "Give US
liberty or give US DEATH" was the ral-
lying cry. They looked upon the pro-
misses of Britain with disdain. AS
Webster has since said, mo matter
how easy may be the yoke of foreign
power-no matter how lightly it sits
upon the shoulder, if it is not imposed
by the voice of his own nation and of
his own country, he will not, he can
not and he means not to be happy un-
der it's burden" Eight long years
the struggle continued, until the sur
render at Yorktown gave the opposi-
tion to the war in the British parlia-
ment the upper hand. Then the house
of commons passed a resolution with
out even a division, that anyone who
advocated further prosecution Of the
war would be ''considered an enemy
to his majesty and the country"
One hundred and twenty three years
have elapsed since the rebellion "
which made our country free. We
have grown from weak to strong
nation. The Fourth of July has become
the great national holiday. 1t is the
greatday for display of patriotism, for
elaborate festivities and for fun and
frolic. Too often the true significance
of the day is forgotten. Too few who
listen to the reading of the Declaration
of Independence pay proper heed to
the deep meaning of it's time. .honored
sentences. The stirring events of the
days of the birth of our nation convey
lessons which cannot be too we'll learn
ed by our present generation. Young
America should be taught that the
essence of true patriotism is love of
liberty and justice, without which the
rustling of flags, boom of cannon and
detonations of frecrackers are mean-
ingless.

Brave and Cool.

Mrs. Benson, with her husband and
6-year-old daughter, lives near Barron,
Wis. When the forest fire recently swept
down upon that place the husband was
in Minneapolis and the wife was alone
on a little farm four miles away from
town. Seeing the approach of the flames
and recognizing the impossihility OF
flight, this lonely woman went to work
to save the life of her daughter and her
self. Her GOODNESS did not desert her.
She plowed burrows about the house,
and when the roaring onslaught of flame
Ieaped these as easily as hunters horse
would leap hedge, she buried the child
in potato patch, where there was but
little fuel for the flames, and, lying
down beside her, tossed water soaked
cloak around them both. They were
found terribly burned, but in condi
ton that gives every hope of perfect re-
covery.-Exchange.

KILLED BY ELEPHANT.
Frank Fisher, Keeper of Rajahs is
the Animals Sixth Victim.

Kansas City, Mo, April 10.-Frank
Fisher, keeper Of the big elephant Rajah,
was killed by his charge at the winter
quarters of Lemen Bros circus in Argen-
tine, \as. Fisher was from Chicago,
and had been with the show about six
or seven years. He was about 80 years
Of age.
The keeper, becoming angry at the ele-
plant, struck him fiercely with ''hook"
The huge beast promptly turned on him,
grabbed him with his trunk and threw
him high in the air. When the body fell
the elephant trampled it and gored it
with his tusks till it was a shapeless
mass.
Fisher is Rajah's sixth victim. The
people who live near the show quarters
are determined that the beast shall die.
The show proprietors, however, insist the
elephant was justified in his act on the
ground Of cruelty. This elephant has
long been known as one of the worst in
the country. He escaped last fall and
was at large two days, causing reign
of terror n Argentine. He had to be
shot sixteen TINES with a rifle before he

Mr.. Simmons has not had time, as vet,

city to erect the monument for the build

the library building which he will present

able hall in the city for the common coun-
Gil and for the city offices. The council
has been meeting in an old engine house.
where the stencil of the stable was be-
coming very obnoxious. Mr. Simmons,
being present at the meeting of the c0un-
Gil last night, saw i'll what position the
council was put, for want of tt quarters,
and made the proposition to build Il city
hall. He says that he can, without much
doubt, get the pOstotfce to move into such
4 new building and that. together with
the rents from the offices for some of the
local attorneys. would enable him to pro-
vide the city with offices for municipal
purposes, without any running expense to
himself.
The building will probably be erected at
an expense Of $4,000 or 100000. He
will provide it with large vaults for
keeping the public records safe from
fire. At present the documents belonging
to the city, which if destroyed by fire
might involve hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars of loss to the city, are kept i'll
