NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP RIGID
LY ENFORCED.

Manila, December 22.-The newspaper
Democracia, the organ of a corterie Of
Filipinos, including the supreme court
judges, favoring American control in
the Philippines, tonight announces
that it has been decided to suspend
publication. The paper was started at
the suggestion and under the patron
age of the Philippine advisory COM
mission, headed by Professor j. G..
single page, in big type. In the state
ment accompanying the announcement
of it's suspension, the editor says he
has been directed by the provost mar
shall to retract certain criticism of the
clerical methods adopted in regard to
the management of schools, and adds:
Recognizing the authority of the
provost marshal, We have no recourse
except to comply and have decided to
suspend publication until the present
extraordinary conditions regarding
press matters disappear. When we
know what law rules US, by what mode
we are judged and : whose jurisdic-
ton press matters amenable, The
Democracia will reappear."
The paper has generally been a warm
supporter of the administration. The
provost marshal recently threatened to
suppress it for publishing an editorial
asserting hat Manila streets were in a
worse condition under the American
than they had been under Spanish ad-
ministratiOn.
The Manila Times vas also recently
warned, with an intimation of impris-
onment and cOnfiScation for printing
an editorial recommending the creation
of a board of charity commissioners to
control the charitable institutions, on
| account of rumors of mismanagement
of charitable funds by the church au-
thorities.
The newspapers complain bitterly
that the authorities exercise a paternal
| supervision, threatening suppression,
they claim, for trifiing errors in the
publication of news not connected with
public matters. They also say the GEN.
| sorship handicaps newspaper enter
prise by suppressing dispatches re-
| ceived from respectable agencies, whose
transmission is Of an exceedingly cost
ly character. The matter suppressed
includes reports of government actions,
! among them being Philippine and

give the Filipinos al untavorable opin-
ion Of the United States.
