Aguinaldo, in a proclamation an
nouncing the release of American pris-
oners and authorizing Filipino soldiers
in the northern province to return to
their homes, says:
I'm America there is a great party
that insists upon the Government rec
ognizing Filipino independence. That
party will compel the United States TO
fulfill the promises made to us in all
solemnity and good faith, though not
put into writing.
Inerefore, we must snow our graft
tude and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should pray
to God that the great Democratic party
may win the next Presidential election,
and Imperialism fail in its mad at
tempt to subjugate US by force of arms.
There are some Americans in the Phil
ippines who have joined us, because
they disapprove war of what Mr. At
kinson calls criminal aggression. When
offered a chance to return to their own
camp, they declined"
Throughout the proclamation Aguin-
aldo denounces the ''imperialists' in
stead of the Americans as in former
documents. He calls the world to wit
ness that the Filipinos have not broken

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Sack Containing $500 Stolen From
Wagon at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA sack
containing $500 in silver was to-day
taken from a road wagon on Market
street near Kearny, where thousands
of people were watching the newspa-
per bulletins on the yacht race.
The stolen coin belonged to Captain
John Barnesson, Superintendent of the
Government transport dock James
Barneson, the Captains brother, was
taking the money home, when it was
taken from under his feet by clever
thief, who had jumped on the back of
the wagon as it was passing through
the crowd.
Mrs II. A. Dray, who is employed
in photograph gallery on Brook
street, saw the man take the sack,
place it under his coat and leap out
of the wagon, but before she could give
the alarm he had disappeared She
could only furnish a meager descrip-
ton of his appearance. It was at first
reported that $4,000 had been stolen,
but this estimate of the value of the
coin in the sack is denied by it's owner.

A PLEASANT INCIDENT.

JOLIET QlI.), Oct. IA pleasant in
cident of the stop at La Sale was the
presentation to Mrs. Mckinley of
some beautiful flowers by a group of
little girls.
The President was introduced to an
immense crowd at La Sale by Senator
Cullom. He spoke as follows:
II never journey through the East or
the South or the West that my pride
in my countury is not increased Ny
love of it is enhanced and my conf
dence in it's noble mission and perma-
|nece firmly re-established in my heart.
We are a nation of 75,000000 of people,
all of them possessing equal opportuni-
ties in the race of life, with public
schools and other schools open for the
education of the boys and girls freely.
and without pride; with hope put in
the heart of the humblest boy in the
land, and the right of that boy to as
pire to the highest place in the gift of
this free republic. And if you needed
any example of the glorious opportun-
tiles of American citizenship you have
them here in your own great State of
Illinois. Lincoln, Douglas, Logan,
Lovejoy, Oglesby and long list be-
sides coming from the humblest walks
of life at last reached the highest sum-
mits of fame and favor in the repub-
lie. And now to us-for this govern
ment rests upon the people and all the
peoples committed this great fabric
of government. Shall we maintain it
in its integrity? prolonged applause
and cries of 'Yes.) Let your boys and
mine be educated in patriotism, and if
so educated no harm can befall the
republic"
