GEN. WooD has had an experience
that was expected by all who are
familiar with conditions in Spanish
countries. He sent his Chief of Gen.
armerie TO break up gang of bandits
sho were becoming troublesome near
santiago. The Chief followed his natu-
raj instincts, and fraternized with the
aobberz. Gen. Wood acted with his
customary resolution. The Chief found
it necessary to resign and go into hiding,
while another force was Immediately
sent out, under one of our own officers
who, within "a hours, broke up the
gang, killing one and capturing the
leader and several Others, who are under
the guard of the Regulars, as it is feared
that the friends of the bandits in San
Luis would release them from the com
mon Jail. This sort of thing tends tc
make bantittism very unpopular.

ONLY outsiders speak of Filipinos.
The various peoples of the archipelago
scorn such classification. They are
far more widely separated in speech,
thought, ideas and aims than the various
peoples of Europe, for they are not all
of one color, even. Some are white,
some have a portion Of white blood,
come are yellow, some brown, and mil
lions are black. They speak so diff
ferent languages, some Of them lin
guistically farther apart than the Rus
sian and Spanish, and frequently the
people of one village cannot understand
those of the next collection of huts.
The idea Of their being all of one Ma
tion has never occurred to them, and
would be spurned if suggested. "Fili-
pinos is merely a convenient term TO
designate the inhabitants of the archi-
pelago, but it is very misleading when
t conveys any idea of national unity.

presenting these at an early date. They

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

The BrookvilIe (Ont.) Times thus states
the Canadian position:
We don't want to retaliate, j
But by lingo, il We do,
We've got the spruce,
We've got the pine.
And we've got the nickel too.
To which we might answer
You must not try retaliation,
For, by iingo, if you do,
We'll stop your eggs,
Well stop your spuds,
Wen stop your barley, too.
There has been some rich but uncon-
scious humor in the beef investigation.
One witness, a volunteer, testified that
as he was passing through an abandoned
camp OF the Regulars near Santiago, smok-
ing a cigar, he noticed a can OF roast beef
which had been thrown away He picked
il up, put it in his blouse, and went on.
Presently he finished his cigar and threw
it away. Then lie noticed a terrible odor,
and upon investigation found that it came
iron, the can of roast beef. This directs
attention to the character OF the cigars
our soldiers smoked in Cuba, which were
so powerful as to vail the odor of rotten
meat.
What frisky boys some of these veterans
are. John d. Clewes, of franklin, Pa,
who served in both the Mexican War and
that of the rebellion. and has reached the
age of 1902 years, has just married a bloom

century, and was first led TO the altar in
1924. She has family OF four daughters.

1t seems that they are still maintaining
q ratio OF 16 to 1 in Idaho-16 unmarried
men to 1 unmarried woman. The precise

The Gear ought to invite the local poll

than have been killed by all the armies

THE PHILIPPINES.


Gen. Otis's grand clearing-up cam
paign goes forward, with the same his
tory from day to day. There is the
same unchecked advance, the same
storms of long range firing, and the
same inability. of cur troops to bring
the rebels to close quarters. The firing
results in a considerable loss to the in
surgents, testified to by daily aver
age of a couple hundred bodies actually
found upon the ground occupied, and a
loss of from two to six day killed of
our own men. 1t seems impossible that
the insurgents can stand this punish
ment much longer. Ignorant as they
may be, they cannot help understanding
that they are everywhere driven, and
nowhere capable of making any success
full resistance, and that they are losing
heavily. This cannot help taking the
heart out of them, and the whole rebel
lion is likely to collapse any day. The
more protracted the resistance the more
complete will be the collapse when it
does come. No man can retain his
leadership upon either civilized or
savage peoples, without having occa-
sional successes, and so far Agui-
naldo has not won single Insignificant
skirmish to encourage his followers.
Gen. Otis's plan is to drive everything
back upon the rebel Capital, capture it,
and scatter the so-called Government.
Having done this, the rebellion will
subside into dispersed guerrilla bands,
which can be readily penned up and
exterminated in the isolated peninsulas
which make up the confguration of the
island of Luzon. 1t is hoped that with
in a couple of weeks at the farthest the
war will be over.
The rebels cannot expend ammuni-
ton at the rate they have been doing
for the past few days, and lose arms,
without soon becoming helpless for
offensive or defensive tactics. We, hav-
ing control of the sea, can prevent them
from receiving fresh supplies, and this,
even, without the advance of our troops,
must put it out Of their power to con-
tinue the fight.
So far, everything has progressed
with astonishing success. When we
consider the disadvantages under which
our troops labor, their utter ignorance
of the people, the languages and the
geography of the country, their success
has been nothing short of marvellous.
There has been nothing like it in history
since Cortez's conquest of Mexico.
When peace comes it will come to
stay. The rebels will have thoroughly
tried every art they are masters of to
beat the Yankees, and been foiled at
every one of them. They will know
how terrible thing it is to provoke the
wrath of the American soldier, who will
chase them relentlessly through morass
and jungle, over hilltop, and into the
deepest woods, while his unerring rifle
deals death upon everything in sight.
These lessons will sink deeply into Tagal
and Visaya minds, and throw deadly
chill over any future suggestions of re-
bellion.

Jeff Wilson, the Chief Clerk, got wind Of
the expedition, and he too begged to be
taken along, to which Shorty consented.
When Lieut. BigelOw came in at 10 clock,
he found Shorty at the head of IL good men,
all armed and equipped, and eager for the
service.
"In talking with the Secret Service men, u
explained the Lieutenant, they suggested
that it would be well to have one good man,

to play off refugee rebel, if possible"

jeans. 1 guess, there's pair of pantaloons
long enough for yOu."
When Shorty emerged from the room
again there ,was complete transformation.
Except that his hair was cut close, he was q
perfect reproduction of the tall gaunt,

him couple of heavy Remington revolvers.

"Those papers in the South says

seem to be pleased at the suggestion
that the Philippines will make q
good home for our colored popula-
tion forget that not more than doz-
en- years ago the people of several
localities of the South, when out
siders organized colonies of colored
people to go to Kansas and else
where, took steps to drive off the
prom oters of such emigration and to
keep the colord labor at home. 1t
would be a disaster for the South to
lose large portion of its colored
labor" The reminder is we'll made.
Iu would not be disaster, however,
but an unmixed blessing for the
South to lose all it's colored labor,
provided only that it did not lose all
at once. The best interest of both
races in the South imperatively de-
mand their gradual but sure separa-
ton under conditions that will pre-
pare both races for it.
