AeuinnIdo's London Tout.

Senior SIxTo LOPEZ Of the London Taga-
log Junta, has written most affecting let
tor to Mrs. CHARLOTTE SMITH, the distln-
gulshed Washington reformer. This letter,
we learn from the Erening Post, which re-
prints it, was read at the last meeting OF
the Washington Anti-Imperlalist League
and Ia to be circulated widely. What Is
prosperity what Is life itself; asks Seiior
LOPEZ in prose translation OF II we'll
known Emersonian Quatrain, Without
Liberty? Liberty. liberty, liberty-that
Is what the heart OF Senior LOPEZ bteeds
for. Not the patry and formal American
liberty, but the real Aguinaldian article.
A dictator, for example, who can cut your
head OFF when you are disagreeable.
THE Filipinos are not capitalists" con-
tinued Mrs SMITHS correspondent. Well,
AGUINALDo has feathered his nest and we
dare say some Of the other patriots are not
suffering.
Il am assured by those in authority in
America" writes Sc flor LOPEZ despond-
emily, that the proposed policy OF forci-
BILE subjugation will be pursued to the Bit
ter end" The sooner Senior LOPEZ believes
this the NOR, he will save in postage
