hole the territory gained and con
tinue the march of the fighting
front. The Filipinos will retire
only as they are forced back.
Every field of operations from
which the Americans retire is oc-
cupied by the Filipinos and it is
taken again at the expense of
American lives. The guerilla
knows no defeat until he is freed
with no hope of escape and the
insurgents are good guerrillas.
The truth of General Lswtcn's
statement that hundred thou
sand men will be needed to quell
the rebellion is daily becoming
more apparent.

in the hands Of the military

Apropos of the discussion on
free schools, correspondent calls
attention to the fact that the class
room education is not the only
matter to be considered. The free
school is the natural demand of
every American, at the same time
every parent must consider the
character of the homes of his
children's fschool day associates.
The free.school in Hawaii means
that children from Asistic homes
are to be brought in daily associa-
ton with the.children from homes
Of people who, though they may
be poor, guard with serious care
the morality Of the home. A seri
GUS question for ithe men having
the matter in charge is, whether
the tendency Of the free school
will be to uplift the moral condi
ton of children from homes where
vulgarity and vice are viewed with
indifference, or the dragging down
of children from homes in which
the moral tone'is representative of
a civilization that is highest and

CIVIL WAR IN ECUADOR.
Rebels Have Taken TuIcan, on the
Columbian Frontier.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, Dec. 3l.-The
insurgents under liyadancira have
captured Tulcan, on the Colombian
frontier. They assembled across the
border, and by a feigned march on
IUarra induced General Arellano TO
leave Tulcan 10 meet them. Some ar
tillcry was on the way from Quito by
way of Ibarra 10 Tulcan, and Arellano
feared these guns would fall into the
hands of the rebels.
Having thus induced Arellano to
leave his position at Tulcan, the rebels
cyadcd his force, and with their main
body seized the abandoned town. Arel-
lano then returned, and at last ac-
counts had not yet been able to dis
lodge the invaders from his lost posi-
tions. Tulcan is the capital Of Carchi
province. and is well fortified. News
Of a decisive encounter may be received
at any time. Most of the insurgent
forces are said to be Colombians.
President Alfaro was informed some
weeks ago that his enemies were plan
ming to invade the country simultane-
ously from Colombia and Peru. Tor
this reason the council Of state issued
a decree comforting dictatorial powers
upon the president, and declaring n
state Of siege. The anticipated move
mcnt ON the Colombian frontier has
taken place. 10 news has been re-
ccivcd from the side of Peru. Presi-
dent Alfaro is confident of his ability
TO put down the rebellion.

"The Wounded from Santiago" was

Schroeder, Of Des Moines, Ia, who
scrved as division surgeon with the
Iowa volunteers. IN the course Of his
remarks he said:
The system low in vogue OF AN

This is attested by the fact OF It's
adoption by all civilized nations, and
IL will stand the assaults of the unin-
formed and Of political intriguers UNI

something better.
"An epidemic that was almost hys-
terra involved the camps of the whole
country, but the results show improve

Omaha, Ncb., Dec. 3l.-The refusal
of the standing committee of the
Episcopal diocese Of Nebraska TO give
its c]anonical consent TO the consecra-
ton OF DR.. Morrison as bishop Of Iowa
has stirred up a hornets nest. The
committee is receiving kilograms from
prominent clergy Of the faith all over
the country on the subject, the major
ity commenting, but some dcnounc-
ing the course OF the committee as
ridiculous and calculated TO bring
more odium upon the church than the
alleged corruption in the Iowa con-
ference which named Morrison, and
upon which the Nebraska committee
bases its refusal 10 consent to the
Iowa bishops conservation.
The committee purposes TO stand by
its published decision and refuses 10
reccdc. 1t bases its action upon what
il terms the outragcously corrupt
methods by which DR.. Morrison was
elected after DR.. Greene, Of Cedar Rap
ids, had been selected for the position,
and the political double dealing of the
enemies Of DIR. Greene. The commit
tee several weeks ago adopted resolu-
tons dcnouncing the selection of DR..
Morrison and NJ the time used vigor-
Gus language and indicated clearly
that its consent to the conservation
of DR.. Morrison could never be OBJ
tanned. Since that time friends Of DR.,
Morrison have been in Nebraska en-
.dcayoring TO countcract this influence
and prevent Il hostile demonstration,
which they knew if persisted i'm would
prevent the conservation of Morrison
and necessitate the election Of anoth.

---MoCord Decision May Explain 1t.
Washington, Dee. 31.-Peru has no
diplomatic representative at Washing
ton, its minister, Senior Victor Egui-
guren, having left here some time ago.
Ordinarily the absence OF a foreign
representative attracts little attention,
but in this instance there is a suspl-
cion that the South American govern
ment has a purpose in not returning
its representative.
Shortly after the decision was rem
dered in the McCord case, which was
adverse 10 the Peruvian government,
Senior Eguiguren paid his respects
10 the state department OH
cials and departed for home. Soon
afterwards he was followed by his Sec
rotary, Senior Manuel Elguera, and
since his departure the legation has
been practically closed, and the Peru
Wan government has remained silent
N the subject of diplomatic relations.
Irving Il. Dudley, the American min
lister at Lima, still remains at his post.
The state department officials profess
10 believe no breach in diplomatic re-
l~ations is contemplated by the govern
ment Of Peru. The suggestion that
lack OF fundsNith which 10 maintain
q legation here Nne cause for the alb
renee of the miNiA is accepted by the
members Of the DIPLOMATIC corps from
South American republics, who are
we'll aware of PerI's straitcned cir
culnStauces.
1t is Known rositiyel that Peru
does not take kindly 10 the decision in
the McCord ease, but attention IL
called 10 the fact that a disinterested
third party drbitrated the matter,
which entirely relieved the United
States from any responsibility in the
matter. Should Peru entertain I'M
friendly feelings towards this govern.
mcnt it is generally believed il would
not go so far MS TO sever diplomatic re-
lations.
