'LAWTON RETURNS
Captured Territory Evac-
uated.

Pacify the Islands-Rebels
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
Success
NY. world.l
Manila, April I6-Maior Gen.
Lawton, at Pate today, authorized
the World correspondent to make
this statement:
"The present prospect is that one
hundred thoueand troops will be
necessary to pacify the Philippine
islands,"
General Lawton's expedition had
been ordered to Manila and was
preparing to return there Immediate
ly.
All the territory be captured was
to be evacuated and all the launches
he seized to be restored to their
original owners-that is to say, they
will be given back to the persons
from whom Aguinaldo s soldiers
took them.
Gen. Lawton explained the situa-
ton TO the World correspondent as
liollows:
''The difficulties in the way are
those of fighting guerillas in a trop-
ical country
with my brigade l could force
my way from one end of the islands
to the other if did not hold the
territory L traversed But leaving
garrisons behind would soon eat up
the whole force
Gen. Lawton regretted exec eding
being compelled to evacuate the
territory he had captured.
Dur ng the absence of Major q en-.
Lawton's expedition to the Santa
Cruz district, on the southeastern
side OF Laguna de Bay, the insur
gents have been concentrating at
the northern end of the lake near
Pasig, and the American scouts re-
port that several thousands are al
ready there. General Lawton's ex
pedition is now on its way back.
Manila, April 17-Gen. Lawton's
expedition to the Laguua de Bay
district re-embarked this evening.
anchored for the night at the head
of the river Pasig and reached Ma
nilla this morning, bringing all the
men and the captured insurgenr
boats. It's objects, namely, the
capture of the insurgets' boats and
the distribution cf the proclamation,
emphasized by lesson of American
power throughout the lake region,
have been attained.
Gen. Lawton Immediately began
preparations for an important expe
dition on land. There has been no
fighting on the lake for three days.

From Tuesdays Daily

iASAAA AaSSudy Ian s,il
Secretary j. G. Bramhall and j. n.
Brookover, of the Dain Manufacturing
company. Carrollton, Mo-, were in the
city this morning and left on the noon

AS TO Observation-Disclosures.

The following little extract from
President McKinley's speech to the
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, at Pitts
burg, on the occasion Of it's return
from the Philippines should be suffic-
lent to quiet any howl as to the uncon-
stitutionality of our proceedings in the
islands:
peace brought us the islands by
treaty cession. The senate of the Unit
ed States ratified the treaty. Every
step taken was in obedience to the re-
quirements of the constitution. 1t be-
came our territory and is ours as much
as the Louisiana purchase, Texas or
Alaska. A body of insurgents, in nc
sense representing the sentiment of the
people of the islands, disputed our law
full authority, and even before the rati-
fication of the treaty by the American
senate. We're attacking the very forces
who fought for and secured their free
dom. $ : y Our humanity was inter-
preted as weakness; our forbearance as
cowardice. They assailed our sover-
eighty and there will be no useless par
ley, no pause until the insurrection is
SUPPRESSED and American authority
acknowledged and established. The
MISGUIDED followers in rebellion have
only our charity and pity. As to the
cruel leaders who have needlessly sac
rificed the lives of thousands of their
people at the cost of some of our best
blood for the qualification of their own
ambitions designs, I will leave to others
the ungracious task of justification and
eulogy."

COTTON,

England buys the greater part of the
American cotton crop, as well as that
OF Egypt and several other countries
of small production. Freighting all its
supplies from such distant points, Eng
land last year shipped abroad 5,216, 491,-
300 yards of cotton goods, or be-
quantity exported from the United
States, where most of the worlds cot
ton is grown, and where manufacture
ers have no ocean freights to pay. This
shows that there is room for a vast deal
more American enterprise in cotton
manufacturing than has yet been
BROUGHT into play; and now that the
ascendancy of republican financial
ideas has restored the confidence of
investors. and that existing mills are
running full time and paying good
dividends, we may expect to see the adj
vantages the American manufacturer
has over his English competitor further
improved. Indeed, our exports for the
fiscal year ending June last showed
large steps already taken in that direc-
ton. We sent abroad in that year 42
per cent more cotton goods than in the
year before. when all previous records
were surpassed. A significant item in
the increase was that of los, s26,624
wards in the amount sent to China,
making the total for the year to II. =
country 221 ,621.643 yards. The Phil
ippines use great many million yards,
and have heretofore secured most of il
from England, that country sending
them last year 26,o61,6 600 yards. With
the restoration of peace and the devel-
opment of the island industries, they
will take several times as much The
possibilities of this Asiatic trade are
boundless, and not improbably our
American manufacturers. may find full
employment for all their surplus ener-
giss in meeting some portion of them
without perceptibly diminishing Eng
lands exports. Africa, as its peoples
are brought more and more in contact
with civilization, will afford good sec
ond to Asia's demands. So that even
thouoh Texas, having already perform
ed the feat of practically doubling the
American cotton crop. should again
double it with the product OF fresh
areas. there is little doubt that it can
easily be disposed of. This years cot
ton crop, however, is likely to be, ac-
cording to government reports, only
1920 600 bales. against 100000 last
year, chiefly on account of the Texas
floods, 81

This Afternoon. 5

From Tuesdays Daily.
The meeting of the executive COM
miftee of the Ottumwa Street Fair as
sociation which was to have been held

were passed at the council meetingsla last
evening giving Mayor Phillips power to
take charge of the streets to be ,inhab-
tied by the street fair, during the time
the fair is being conducted.
Whereas, The citizens of Ottunwa
are about to give street fair at con-
siderable expense, and ~,
Whereas, 1t is desirable that during
the progress of said fair that the streets
to be used for that purpose should be
under the control of someone for the
protection of life and property, and
Whereas, Persons may desire priv.
leges for the sale of merchandise on
the streets, and other concessions OF

formances of any and every character

LABOR DAY AT HlTEmAN,
Big Celebration in That Progressive
Mining Town,

Hiteman, Sept 6.-Labor day was

Local union No. 916 had charge of the

the start. The parade, consisting of
noats, societies, etc., was nearly a mile
in length. 1t was headed by the Hite-
man band, the members looking fine in
their new uniforms. Speaking by
prominent labor leaders and music took
up the time until o'clock. A ball
game between Hiteman and Pekay was
then played, the following being the

in the fifth inning. Ewing sustained
his reputation as pitcher, Pekay earn
inr but one run. The game was called
to give time for the rugby game be-
tween Hiteman and Abba. The first
half of this game was played without
either side scoring. The game ended in
a wrangle. darkness lowered over the
field before the finish of the first half.
In the second half it became so dark
that the time-keeper said he could no
LONGER see his watch. At his saying
this some of the Hiteman players began
to walk off the field. Abba taking the
ball and making a touchdown. With
this the game ended, Abba claiming
the victory.
Tt Hiteman band discoursed sweet
music during the day and evening.
This band, under the direction of Prof
Welsh, is forging to the front and is
now easily the best band in the coun-
Ity.
The Baptist choir, under the leader
ship OF Prof. Powell, furnished the mu-
steal part of the program, each number
being well received.
Accommodations at the grounds
were much better than ever before, for
which the Mine Workers deserve much
credit.
Chas. Underwood, the colored labor
leader of Mystic, was prominent num-
Der on the program.
N. e. Kendall, OF Abba, made a
strong argument against trusts. Mr..
Kendall is one; of the most prominent
of Monroe county's republicans.
