strains, adding much TO the enjoyment
of the feast. The orchestra, since COM

Further along she says: But what
interests me most i'm your extraordinary
harangue is your attack on our peace
commissioners, in which you display
such profound ignorance as TO our pub
lie men. Not one of these gentlemen
chewed tobacco; not one OF them at

Ex.Minister Talks OF Affairs "a He
Found Them In the Philippines.
London, April 20.--John Barrett. former
United States minister to siam. who has
just arrived from Manila, emphatieally
declares that the gloomy forebodings
expressed In some quarters relative TO
the Philippines are not justified by the
facts.
The United states naval and mill
tary authorities" ne says. have done
everything possible In the difficult and
exceptional circumstances. and the
united support OF all parties In the United
States at the present tuncture would
enable them TO bring matters In the
Philippines to a quick and lasting settle
nlent honorable TO the motherland.
Should the Filip!nos. however. who are
kept well Informed. acquire the idea that
q proioneation OF hoetilities would affect
politics in the United States advanta-
geously 10 them, the war would be more
prolonged"
With regard TO the statements that the
Minnesota volunteers and others wished
to return to the United States. Mr.. Bar
rett said ne had talked with the officers
Of all the regiments and with many OF the
men, and that while they would welcome
a return to the United States so soon as
their places could be effectually filled by
regulars, there was no such feeling az
one Of insG Gbordinetion. dependency or
discomfort. ON the contrary, all We're
actuated. he sserted, by Intense patriot
ism. and not a man wished to leave the
Philippines until he had seen the cam
palgn through, or could leave the work
to regular troops.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Barrett the Fill
pino. as soon as he has had time TO digest
the recent successes OF General Otis and
General Lawton and TO become con-
vinced OF American superiority. will
settle down TO life OF peaceful and pro-
gressive citizenship.
