"The longer we have the lights
the better we like Them" is the
universal expression of our people.
And truly they are a luxury. The
town has taken no step forward in
Its history probably, which has
been of greater acceptance to our
people. We could not now get ON
without them. Thoy are the best
lncandescent lights in the country.
And now, the next step, we must
have these lights in our houses
We are all tired of the old ordori
ferrous, dim kerosene lamp. We
must have these lights. When YOU
come to count the cost there is very
little difference. We predict that
within years time many of our
houses will be lighted by cleo
tricity.

The news from the Philippines yester
day was very meagre and mp to late
hour what had taken place was not
known. Ii was among the probabilities
that ar attack would be made upon the
Filipino capital, as Gen. MacArthur's
division had arrived In the vicinity. 1t
has been generally believed that the Fill
pinos would make a desperate fight at
this place. and that the fighting would be
much heavier than has occurred since
Gen. Otis's advance began. AguiDaldo
has appeared to be concentrating all his
forces at this point for q final struggle.
Yet IL is by no means safe to predict.
Agninaldo may repeat the same tactics at
Malolos that he has been employing all
along, that is, offer some resistance and
then fall back to some other town. The
farther he leads us from Manila the more
difficult it Is for us, because the supplies
for our army have to be carried long dis
tances over bad roads, II Aguinaido's
troops are still loyal to hi u and the peo-
pie are still behind him, the chances are
that he will fall back and compel us to
do more chasing but II his troops are be-
ginning to gst tired of the war, he may
risk general engagement as a last re-
sort. 1t is to be hoped that he will adopt
the latter course, for the continued pur-
suit of him through marshes and jungles
under a torr!d sun must tell In time Sc
verely upon our troops.

Captain Albert Otis, who commands
Company A., of the First Wyoming Vol.
unteer infantry In the Philippines, is q
native of brunswick in this state, son Of
Captain William Otis. He has written
his father letter which the Brunswick
Telegraph prints and which indicates
that the war now going on is attended
by the usual hardships and horrors. OF
the battle in February he says:

1t was supposed that the Samoan
trouble had been fixed up, SO the news of
n bombsrdment of the natives by British
and American war ships was genuine
surprise. The bonn bardment appears to
have been the result of an attempt upon
the part of Mataafa to continue his pro-
visional government. after the British and
American consuls had ordered 1t dis
solved. Probably nothing very serious in
the way of international complications
will grow out of the affair, notwithstand
ing the German consul opposed the action
of the Americans and English, because
the subject matter Is altogether too in
consequential and besides the odds are too
strong against Germany. The continue.
tion of the troubles, however. makes 1t
pretty clear that the existing arrangement
FOR the govsi nment of Samoa is not salts
factory and must be amended in some
way to make 1t workable With the
great majority of the natives In favor of
Mataafa 1t looks as II 1t would be very
difficult TO compel him to retire without
the use of troops.

The season is fast approaching when

April marks the beginning of the rainy
season, though 1t does not get we'll I'M
derway for some weeks subsequent. While
the sanitary condition of Havana has been
greatly improved it is still far from what
1t should be, and there can scarcely be a
doubt that fever germs Turk there, ready
to get In theird eadly work when favorable
conditions arise. The camps of our sold
iers are located upon high ground around
the city, and in this respect are as favor
ably situated as possible, but the New
York Herald points out that none of the
tents are provided with floors. and that
as soon as the rains begin, their occupants
will have to sleep upon the water soaked
ground. This is q condition that can
easily be remedied II the war department
will give 1t its attention. An epidemic
of fever among our troops, due to or ag-
gravated by conditions that might have
been remedied, will do Immense harm to
tho war department directly and to the
whole administration indirectly. Score.
