Washington, Feb. u AT the various
foreign embassies and legations the
news of an outbreak at Manila aroused
the keenest interest and 1T was dis
cussed in all its international bearings.
In the main, however the foreign
opinion was optimistic as to the abil-
itv OF the United States to cope sue
cessfully with this insurrection,
although one eminent diplomatic otli-
cial regarded it as foreshadowing se-
ries of colonial conflicts. As to its in
ternational bearing, IA leading member
of the diplomatic corps said the
outbreak made two thiugs quite
clear, namely. that no foreign
power could or would intervene
or exert any influence in the Philip
pines, and second. that foreign gov
ernments would now recognize, III TINS

United States was justified in using
strong repressive measures. so long

summary redress. The idea that the

from any foreign power was dismissed.

Skowhegan, Ne.
Dear Sir: Some think we take a good
deal OF risk in inviting complaints of De-
voc lead and znc-we authorize our
agent to sell it under this guarantee:
"lf you have any fault to find with
thi4 paint, Ell her now in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about it.
W. authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
The following story tells how little
the risk is:
j. II. Asher & Co., hard ware dealers,
Rhinebeck, N. Y, have sold Devoe from
rs 10 now, and have had just one com
plant in all this time.
Three sides Of house were perfect
the fourth was as bad rs the three were
good.
Explanation II rancd the night be.
fore the fourth side was painted and the
painters didn't wait for The wood To dry.
What il done in such sc? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint, con
siders 1t fair to do. We leave it to him.
He may not do eXactly what we should
do if we were there; but we are MOI
there. The best We can do is to leave il
to him.
Yours truly,
