THE SECOND SEAPORT OF THE
PHILIPPINES.

Iloilo, at present, although quiet to
all appearances, is really like quiet
volcano, boiling underneath, but
ready at any m oment to break ont
into active revolution. The Catapunin
society has already organized the ma
tives into potential army. One of
the servants of our host was a lieu
tenant in that mysterious army. am
told that they are merely waiting for
the decision of the Paris conference.
If the Spaniards are to keep the is
land of Panay, revolution, full fiedged
will break out in the town of Iloilo it
self. In the meantime the revolution
lists in the interior of the island are
driving the Spanish troops gradually
back on Iloilo. The town is very bad
ly defended. There are no fortifica
tons about it. An old fort without any
guns squats helplessly on small
promontory in the harbor. There are
only some eight hundred Spanish SOL
diers on the island; the rest of the
troops are all native born, and are I'M
doubtly involved with the revolution
lists. AS yet the revolutionists in the
interior are badly armed, but supplies
are being sent down from Aguinaldo's
headquarters in Luzon and before
long the natives will be we'll armed
with Mauser rifles.
Troops are constantly coming in and
going out of Iloilo, to and from differ
ent places in Cebu and Panay where
the insurgents gather. The troops are
always sent away at night, apparent
ly to keep the inhabitants in ignor-
ance Of what is going on in the inter-
ior, The Spaniards celebrated vic
tory while we were at Iloilo. The
troops were reviewed, and the COVER
nor received the congratulations of
the people. In the evening there was
dance. The papers reported the
loss of six Spaniards killed and twen-
ty wounded; the loss on the insurgent
side was said to be great. AS mat
ter fact, it seems doubtful if the Span
iards had the upper hand in the fight.
The Chinese; who are impartial, and
communicate with one another
throughout the land in Chinese char
acters which they alone can read, re-
port that the Spaniards were defeat

How unreliable the local press is

COAL FOR OUR WAR VESSELS.

The Navy Department has now de-
cided to keep at all times stock OF
about one half million of tons of the
best steaming coal procurable. The
war with Spain demonstrated the
enormous Importance of coal, and the
distribution of this vast stock will be
done with the advice of the best naval
strategists. About 100000 tons will
be kept on the Atlantic and probably
100, 900 tons will be used on the Pacif-
ic. The expense of purchasing and
transporting this vast quantity of coal
will be large and the apparatus which
will be installed for the expeditions
coaling of war vessels will be most
elaborate. 1t has been decided that
25, 900 tons of coal will !be kept at Ma
Mia, 10000 tons at Guam, $4,000 tons
at Honolulu, 10000 at Pago Pago, 25,-
600 tons at San Francisco, $4,000 tons
at Beaverton, Puget Sound. On the
Atlantic coast the coal supply will be
approximately as follows: Havana.
25, 900 tons: Santiago, 10000 tons; San
Juan, Porto Rico, $4,000 tons; Key
West and the Dry Tortugas, $4,000
tons; Port Royal, S. O., $4,000 tons;
Norfolk, Va, 5000 tons; Washington,
1000 tons; League Island Navy Yard,
5000 tons; New York Navy Yard,
5000 tons; New London, Conn, 25 900
tons; Boston, IL, 900 tons; Portsmouth,
n. H., 10000 tons; Frenchman's Bay,
Me-, 1000 tons. In addition to this
vast and judiciously stored supply it
is believed that the naval authorities
can at any time command $4,000 tons
of coal at either New York or Hamp-
ton Roads. With this splendid stock
of coal the Atlantic coast will be eff
ficiently protected compared with it's
position before the war.
The government now has seventeen
GOLFERS, which will be capable of coal
ing fleet which would pass around
the South American continent in case
neutrality were enforced on countries
contiguous to the coast. The entire
coaling capacity of the golfers is es-
timated at about 80, 900 tons. AS some
of the coaling stations are a couple of
thousand miles apart, it is little won
der that longing eyes are often cast at
comparatively unimportant islands
ing stations.

LYNCRLNGS AND HANGLNGS.

If one may rely on the statistics of
a western journal which is supposed
to keep an account of all the hang
ings and lynchings every year, there
were 1877 lynchings during the year
1898. OF this number all but nine oc-
Cured in the south and of course
the most of the victims were negroes.
1t is some satisfaction TO be told that,
with but a single exception, this is
the smallest number since 1885; but
that there should be anything like
that number of lynchings in the Uni
ted States is not only burning shame
but a lasting disgrace. Gov. Mount
of Indiana and Gov. Ellerbee of South
Carolina recommends legislation
making the county in which lynch
ing takes place responsible TO the
heirs of the victim to the extent Of
$4,000, and this would undoubtedly
discourage the crime. IL ought to be
added that in very many cases the
charge against the victim of lynch
law was not grave enough to warrant
capital punishment. Indeed, this
was true last year of only a very
small number of instances. There
were only 100 persons legally put TO
death during the year, and of that
number ~ were in the south.-Er-

UNION, PEACE AND TACT.

Gen. Maxine Gomez, comma nder-
in chief of the Cuban army, has with =
drawn to another part of the island to
nurse his feelings, wounded by the
failure of the American officials to
invite him to the Havana evacua-
ton ceremonies, and as a salve
to his wounds he has been receiving
the adulations of the Cuban populace
of the towns through which he has
passed.
At Caibarien, a breakfast was ten
dered the general by the Cuban ell
ement of the little seaport, and after
the meal the general met number of
prominent Spaniards, and said to
them:
'sThe war is over, and now begins
the work of reconstruction and the
establishment of the Cuban republic.
Past passions are our only enemies to
this end: therefore let us obliterate
these passions and hatreds. We met
war with strife; let US accept peace
with concord.
eve are all inhabitants of the ISL
and of Cuba. Union, peace and tact
should be our guides. Union alone
will bring about the termination of
the present and unnecessary occupa
ton of our island by the American
army. The inhabitants of this island
do not need the presence of American
troops in order to fulfill their duties.
Let us unite and devote our efforts to
that object, high in favor with us all,
the rapid and splendid growth of the
Cuban republic"
These guarded words made such an
impression on the Spaniards present
that, two days later, they entertained
Gomez, his staff and many Cuban Of
ficers at an elaborate banquet, where
the idea of this united party of Cuban
independence was developed with
much enthusiasm. Gomez remains at
the head of the Cuban army.

'It is a surprising fact,' says Prof. Houton,

Green's August Flower than any other remedy

or for persons filling office positions, where head

exist, that Green's August Flower is grand rem

AMERICAS WORLD INFLUENCE

Europe is beginning to grasp the
fuential member Of the famil y of ma
tions, but it does not grasp the whole
of the fact or apprehend it's full sig
niicance. the latest issue of the
London Spector has an article which
says that the dominant fact of the
year 1898 was the rise in the position
of the English speaking people," 1t
remarks that con the other side of
the Atlantic the people Of the United
States, moving as if they were forced
on by some impulse from without,
with minute army in being, a pres
ident specially vowed to peace, and
a minister of war most kindly de-
scribed as short-sighted amateur,
crushed the ancient monarchy of
Spain almost without effort and seat
ed themselves on great islands in the
Caribbean and the Pacific" and adds
that "America has become within one
year, in the eyes of those who con-
troll armies and fleets, almost a new
and conceivably dangerous power"
Then it says: "The English speaking
races, disregarded in 1897, are in 1898
regarded as the potential equals in
combination Of all the rest of the
world,
1t is unquestionably true that the
chapter which the United States add :
