Mr. CARNEGIE HOME AGAIN.
HE SPEAKS OF THE WAR AGAINST THE
Beers AS INFAMOUS AND De
PIORES THE ATTACK on
THE FILIPINOS.

Nj and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie arrived here on
the Oceanic yesterday from a summer vacation
spent abroad and both declared that they had en-
,oyed their outing greatly. When MI Carnegie
Was seen by reporter he took the first opportunity
Of denying the report that ne intehued 10 OeCO"e

'Oh no: there is no truth in that he said 1t
all wrong You know they say that where

papers he was building palace In Fifth-ave

nothing but q plain brick house. 1t is being looked
after BY friend Of mine. and my return has
nothing 10 DO with its construction
Admiral Dewey's engagement was then mentioned
by some one
Well" said Mr. Carnegie. smiling, Il guess that
IA a more serious engagement than the one in
which Admiral Dewey took part at Manila.
Mr.. Carnegie then spoke about the wars at pres
ent being waged by Great Britain and the United
States.
..The war against the Beers is most Infamous and
unjust" he said. 1T was brought about by Eng
lands lust for domain. and is on par with our
attack on the poor Filipinos These two attacks
are a disgrace 10 both branches Of our race. The
nsople in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State
have a right TO rule themselves. One war is an at
tack on an existing and another on an embryonic
republic
III IS worse for US to attack the Ffpinos than

What is the feeling IN Europe regarding our
Philippine war; asked
There is a feeling OF sorrow on the part OF our
friends and Of rejoicing on the part OF our en-
enies" replied Mr. Carnegie. THE latter feel tnat
al last they have got into a trap. Our friends
FEEL that we have been false TO the great principles
Of the rights Of man. which are the essence OF re-
pubicanism."
Is there much feeling in England against the
