and 1t was not until 1868 that they se- cured another opportunity for any voice in their government. At that time an assembly of reformists was convened in Manila by authority of the revolutionary government which had deposed Queen Isabella II. But the es- tablisbment of this assembly was but a farce, as all reforms voted for the cOl- ony were subject to ratification by the government at Madrid. Because of the prevalence of monastic influence the reforms voted at Manila all failed of ratification at Madrid, and so were never carried into effect, and the Phil ippine assembly soon ceased 10 exist.
 The monastic influence thath had prac- tically killed the assembly kept grow ing stronger each year until the usual ly patient native would bear the indig mites inflicted upon him by the friars, who were the real governors of the cel- ony, no longer, and on the 20th of Au- gust, 1896, the rebellion that had so long been simmering broke out in earnest. The rebels had planned to open the tragedy for which they had been pre- pairing for so longa a time, with general slaughter of Spaniards in Manila but a native woman who knew of the plot confessed her knowledge to one of the friars, only an hour before the appoint ed time, and it was frustrated
 At the time of the breaking out of this rebellion Spain had in the islands not more than 1,5oo Spanish troops, reenforced by questionable native contingent of about 6,000. 0fthe Span ish troops. not more than TOO were in Manila, but this force was sufficient to intiiet n severe punishment upon the leaders of the rebellion in Manila, among which were many of the best of the native families. In fact ii did not take an interest in the rebellion to en- danger ones liberty. Nearly all of the natives and Chinese, who were not di- rect tools of either the friars or the Spanish government, and whose wealth was worth eonfiseating, were in danger of imprisonment, if not of death, at the hands of the church or the governor general
 While the rebellion ragged fiercely all around Manila, it grew to greater pro portions in Cavite province than else where. In Cavite province the rebel headquarters was established at Silan, and it was here that Aguinaldo first came into prominence. Here he taught the village native school, and because of his position had considerable in- fuenee throughout the surrounding territory. Eleven days after the out

 It was not until October, 1896, that any definite purpose was announced by the rebel leaders. Then the Tagal re public was established by proclama- ton. During this time the fame and influence of Aguinaldo had spread rap idly, but it was still not sufficient for him to secure the presidency of the new republic, and Andreas Bonifaeio was chosen the president by the leaders of the rebellion. But few months later Bonifacio died and AguinaIdo succeed ed hiIn as the rebel leader, a position which he has retained ever since.
 While the struggle lasted for a year and a half, the rebels never won any de- cisive battle, but by q system of guer- rilla warfare kept the territory around Manila continually harassed. The Spanish captain general was unable to secure from Spain sufficient troops to garrison the entire affected territory, 10000 men being the greatest number of soldiers the home government could send him, because of the continued drain caused by the Cuban rebellion, and he was glad 10 secure peace on any terms which would assure Spanish SOW ereignty. The peace treaty between the Spanish government e1d the reb-

REPORTING THE WEDDING.
As It was Turned Tn by the Young Reporter Fit for the Waste
 Basket.

A reporter on newspaper was given the task of writing up very swell wedding.
 Iie composed a fine account Of the Wed- ding ceremonies, but, like many young writers, he tried to use too HoWery lan- guage and, becoming excited. he forget to be accurate in the Use of words. The de- seription of the beauties Of nature read something like this:
 "The silverY moon lowered over the scene, and the stars twinlsled merrily; the soft signing of the wind in the trees near by came like d beRedietioH of love to the happy couple entering upon the voyage of life to- gether.
 The reporter sent in his copy, but just as the paper was about to be sent to press he rushed into the editors room, all excite ment, saying he wished to make a corree- tion in the account of the wedding, as, ac- cording to the almanac, there was no sil- very or any other moon on that night And the reporter also sad that he had blundered iR writing of the 'tcDntesting9 parties instead of Contracting" parties.
 After few more corrections the account of the wedding was found available for the editors ebasket.-Iit-Bits.

TIr7HE present rebellion il

ITF HE present rebellion In the
 Philippines is but practically a
 Q continuation of that which con fronted Spain in 1896, and which result ed in the establishment of the Philip pine republic as it still exists. In fact, nearly all of the many proclamations issued by the Filipinos at the breaking out of hostilities between Spain and the United States announced that because the treaty made with the Filipino lead CTS, known as the treaty of Biae-na- bato, had not been fulfilled the leaders of that rebellion were dissolved from any agreement they had made with the Spanish, and that they were called upon to again take up arms in behalf of the Filipino people against Spain and as al- lies of the Americans. And so ii is that the present rebellion is but a legacy left us by SPain A history of that rebellion and the establishment of the Philippine republic is not uninteresting.
 As far back as 1910 Spain had given the native FiIipinos a taste of that pc itical liberty which afterWard cost the mother country so dearly. This came as a result of the first suffrage bill ever passed in Spain, which was done in Jan uary, 1910. Under this law deputies chosen by the people were assembled at Madrid from all of the Spanish colo nies. From time to time until 1887 the islands were represented in the Span ish cortes, but after 1S31 such political privileges were denied the islanders,

liberty of public meeting and of the press, and general am- nesty. There were deposited by Spain 100000 pesetas in the Bank of Hong Kong, ostensibly not for his private use, but the interest of which was to be de- yotedtothe education of Filipino youths in Europe and the principal to be de voted to the purchase of arms provided Spain failed to fulfill the treaty obHga- tions.
 It is needless to say that Spain did not fulfill her treaty obligations. and that none of the 100000 pesetas were used in the purchase of arms to continue the rebellion, or that the interest was used to educate Filipino youths. But Aguinaldo, the former village school master, lived in luxury in Hong-Koug until the arrival of the American fleet that severed Spain's relations to the Philippines for all time to come.

Oh, know all these tricks. Any treasurer who fails to elude the diree- tory=man can tell you all about them. And yet, when aH is said, and every lie cut down almost to the truth. an ocean steamer is a fine vessel and she will carry you away from many, many things and people that you won't miss a bit.
 There are lands, too. upon the other side, that one would wish to visit. I receive advertisements relating to ho= tels in London, Paris, Rome and Jeru- salem. ButI would not live in hotel \ fellow who has been over there tells me that it is foolish to do so. He ad= Yises striking right out into the coun= try and renting house.
 F hired said he. "a vacant palace in the south of France for four dollars q week, and tied up my little dog Ragsy every night to the left front leg of a throne"
 Who would not wish to go where one may live like that? I always longed for travel X man, as old Horace fnti- mates, may not run away from his troubles but he can have at least the satisfaction of making them hump themselves to keep up with him.
 l seem to have omitted to speak of the ticket game. That should be in eluded because it is good anywhere. and the reader might as well introduce it now in his particular locality as wait until the natural spread of human knowledge, following ever in the path of this correspondence, reaches the spot. This is it:
 New York, Feb. l, 1899. III. Fielding, Treasurer.
 Dear Sir: Inelosed please find ten tickets of admission to our grand sacred concert in aid of the Hardknoeks Athletic club. Ne feel sure that you will desire to purchase them at two dollars per each. If you want more, say so. In case you desire to return few of these, send them with check for the balance to John Turf, treasurer. Get them in by February s.
 Yours. etc"
 Now, if I send them back by messen- ger boy it will cost me 60 cents; if l mail them they may get lost and then the club will charge me for the whole bunch. Of course the letter, though dated February l, arrives February s, so that immediate action is necessary.
 hastily dictate polite note to John Turf. Esq, saying that l should be pleased 10 attend his concert; that it was very thoughtful of him to send ten tickets because l always occupy ten seats when in a horizontal position taking nap, which is what I should wish to do on the occasion specified; but on mature consideration have de- cided to keep a previous engagement with the grippe, at my own home.
 Then I count the tickets and find only nine "Please find ten,' says the clubs letter. l should like to see anybody do it. But it's not worth while to get into a row with that crowd for a two dollar bill. The thing might be venti- lated in the papers. So here go two hard earned dollars and nine tickets with a new note, expressing my com pliments to Mr. Turf, treasurer. He has my sympathy anyhow, on account of his office. l know what he'll get by and by.

field came from Madison Saturday to
confer with Milwaukee business men
and place before them the extreme ne
cessity Of the cyclone sufferers in and
about New Richmond, and the desira-
biltty of greatly increasing the relief
fund. The governor said in discussing
the calamity:
1T will take many thousands of dol
lars to place the people Of New Rich
mond on their feet again. They have
lost everything and are destitute of all
that makes even existence possible.
Money is what is needed most. Large
quantities of provisions are being
sent from the nearby cities and towns,
but building material will have to be
purchased and mechanics will have to
be paid in order to rebuild, all of which
will take money.
las the city is in the center Of a
numbering section material can be had
there much cheaper than the cost of
shipping it from other places. With the
necessary cash ON hand to pay for it,
the local committee can cheaply pur-
chase stock of lumber.
"The terrible picture of desolation
shown in New Richmond has caused
the outlying country to be forgotten
to a great extent. Along the track of
the cyclone at least twenty-five fam
lilies have been left destitute. Wher-
ever the storm touched it left desola-
ton. Farmers in the track had all
their buildings wiped out. We have
given these sufferers food and such
shelter as we can, but much more will
have to be done for them"

Manitowoc, Wis, June 21.-The safe
of the Centerville Brewing company
was blown open by three men Monday
night and robbed of $2S. The safe
blowers held UP Robert Lucker. who
was on his way home from Cleveland at
1850. One of them pointed a revolver
at him and the others proceeded to go
through. his pockets, relieving him Of
$3, all the cash he had. They then
bound and gagged Lucker, leaving him
on the highway, where he was found
and liberated by brewer at 4:30 o'clock
yesterday morning. Lucker could hear
the men working at the safe until $3.50
yesterday morning. During this time
three shots were fired.
Fifty armed men are reported to have
surrounded the gang in swamp two
miles from the place of the robbery.
Lucker described the men as follows:
One was tall, slim, smooth face, wore
slouch hat, light gray suite about %
years old; man who went through his
pockets and appeared to be the leader;
medium size, red face, with two weeks
growth Of beard, dark suit; third man
