AGUINALDO'S MANIFESTO.

If the manifesto of Aguinaldo in re-
Spouse to the proclamation of General
Otis, conveying the wishes and prom
ises of the President, expresses the
sentiments of the better class and
larger body Of the Filipinos, then, in
deed, we will soon be at war with the
Philippine insurgents. But General
Otis expresses the thought that the bet
ter portion Of the Filipinos, those upon
whom any revolution must rely for
material support, are not with Aguin-
aldo and are friendly to American &C.
cupation and control.
Nevertheless, it is true that Aguin-
aldo can muster sufficient force to OPP
pose the American troops for a time.
But we do not believe that there will
be general opposition to us representing
the body of the sentiment of the in
habitants of the Philippine group
his insurrection with distinct under
standing with our officials that he was
to conquer the independence of the ISL
ands, and that the United States forces
came in only to free the Filipinos and
enable them to achieve their ends.
This is just as stoutly denied by our
officers. Their declaration is that
Aguinaldo was an ally of American
arms, and nothing more. They admit
however, that he was told that the
United States intended freedom for all
the people, liberation, free speech and
a free press, and the broadest prac-
ticable home rule policy for the islands.
The one and complete answer to the
rebel chiefs manifesto is this, that he
his position as an insurgent
under cover of the American flag; that
prior to that he was an exile, a refugee,
and that when American arms over
threw Spanish power at Manila Bay
Aguinaldo was an unknown quantity
in the matter. By grace of Admiral
Dewey he was. after the battle of the
bay of Manila, permitted to take arms
from the arsenal at Cavite and to set
up AN army and harass the enemy,
and in so doing to take prisoners whom
he still holds.
But in the capture of Manila Aguin-
aldo was not permitted to play any
part. He and his forces were turned
back as they sought to enter the city,
and are still kept out The United
States has asserted its authority over
the islands. It has made good its
title by treaty cession from Spain. 1t
remains now for it to resist the insur-
gent forces if they persist in denying
that authority. If this involves a con-
aict in arms, let it come.

HARRY
ARRY, CFIADWICK'S SWEET
 HEART.

Chester, July 26-Mary Smith, the girl who caused the difficulty between Harry Chadwick and Joseph A. Hough, which led to the murder of the former, has improved in health sufficient to talk about the crime. Her statement is as follows:
 Harry reached the house about 6:30 o'clock Saturday. When he started to return Sunday night I gave him q lunch (We always put up one for him which he was in the habit of eating at night lunch wagon in MiddletoWn, where he would buy cup of coffee and rest for an hour sometimes). He had previously todd me that someone had tried to scare him three weeks before near Clark's Creek and he escaped by mounting his wheel quickly I tried to induce him to wait until 1 o'clock and ride by daylight, but he laughed at my fears, saying no one would molest him, that it must have been some one who was awakened from a drunken sleep who scared him before and seeing the bright light came tumbing out of the bushes just in time to startle him. He llSNCl lllClitlcllIu l4ieil iiC iitN e'i'S SSS picion that it was MT. Hough who had frightened him nor do l believe that he had such a thought.
 I cried for quite q while after watching him out of sight, fearing he might meet with harm. In order to satisfy me and quiet my fears, he had promised to get revolver, saying cheap one would make noise and scare anybody off who might try to stop him. This explains why he en- deavored to borrow one in New Britain before starting as he had not bought one Mir Hough had never said any thing improper to me or in any way in- timated by word, look, or action that he entertained any feeling except that of a friend towards me during our ac- quaintance."
 Miss Smith acknowledges that she and Hough visited New Haven the Fri day before the murder. She had been anxious to see Peabody museum at Yale and as Hough had some business to attend to there she accepted his es' cort. In the city he left her while he attended to his business affairs. She enjoyed it so much that she and Harry had decided to visit the place together soon.
 Hough, after confessing to Sheriff Brown and describing the circum- stances, said that he liked Harry and had nothing against him but wanted him to keep away from Chester. When he was asked Tt was jealousy then, was it not?" he replied, Well, call it what you like?"

Hazel Ridge, One of the Favorites, Fell
 Dead on the Track.
 Cleveland, July 26.-Nearly l0,oo0 per sons attended the Grand circuit races to- day. There was a large crowd, five events being scheduled, including the unfinished 2:19 trot The 2:19 trot was the first race and it furnished sensa- tionaI incident. As the horses were be- ing warmed up Hazel Ridge, who had ruled favorite in the early betting, fell dead. He was by Charles Gauntlet of Milan. Mich. Temper took the first heat and looked like winner, but Dorothea took the next two heats and the race.
 In the 2:23 pace, Coney was a strong favoritae and he got the first two heats, but Bob Fitzsimmons took the third af- fer a hot and exciting finish and he got the next two heats and the race with ease. The Queen was the favorite in the 2.23 trot. After she had got the first two heats and had been chased hard by Royal Baron in the next two, she clinched the claim to first money in the fifth by an easy victory.
 The 2:19 pace was easily settled by Fritz. who took the two heats necessary, after close finish in the first with Ed ward $. Arbuteskan had been played as a winner in this event.
