TIE ~ THE LEAD.
The Jeanerette Herald says IL

Inc Jeanerette Herald says Il
Lafayette fails to levy special tax
Jeanerettc will offer the largest
bonus and will get the Industrial
School, but the Herald frankly con-
cedes the victory to US if the tax is
carried.
We have it on good authority
that the only hope of St. Martin and
Iberia lies in the defeat of the tax
in this parish. The situation is
very encouraging for the people Of
this parish and those who have
worked SO we'll since the Inaugural
ton of the campaign should con-
tinue their efforts with renewed en-
ergy and undiminished zeal.
Lafayette is ahead and ought to
win the fight. It is happily situated
and nothing should be permitted TO
impede the way to success. Our
parish has never had better op-
portunity to do something for itself
and it would be an act of sluggish
indifference to our best interest if
we failed to take advantage of it,
The gentlemen who have taken
an active participation in the fight
since the beginning and who are
waging ON the war against retro
erosion and ignorance with Jealous
activity are certainly to be com
mended for the stand they have
taken Those who have, from
merCenary motives, attempted to
array one portion of the commu-
nifty against another, will no doubt
be visited with the punishment
which they deserve. Their sub
lime disinterestedness is, to say the
least, not to be expected of mum
dane things, and we have no doubt
that before swallowing in toto their
proffers of advice and assistance the
voters will see the traditional bug
which is hidden under the chip.
The Gazette does not charge that
all the opponents of the FAX are In
stigated by a desire to be elected to
office. Doubtless there are among
the opposition men who are honest
though mistaken, but The Gazette
feels confident that there are some
who are going about the country
poisoning the minds of the voters
tor no other purpose than to gain
a little fleeing popularity by which
they expect to get into Office.

Lafayette'S Chief.

Crowley Signal.
J. L. Ailingham is chief of the
Lafayette Fire Department and a
deservedly popular man. He spent
the fourth in Crowley as the guest
of Hose Company No. 1, and while
here added many to long list of
those who were already his friends.
The boys of the company felt
honored In having him with them,
and 1t can be assured that they
showed him good time.
He brought with him flag that
has been in use seventeen Years,
and which at one time belonged 70
Lafayette Company No. I, of the
New Orleans volunteer department.
Another Interesting article brought
down by him was silver trumpet.
Both of these appeared in the
parade.
Lafayette's chief is evidently
we'll posted man on fires and
of fighting them. Being
Of that disposition which leads him
to take al intense interest IN what
ever he enters, he is always on the
lookout for new ideas that would
aid his department.
In the parade he was given a
position of honor and if Lafayette
has more like him they are indeed
l fortunate town. MIR. AIlingham

fully to ascertain if ripe and then
pluck the largest and latest melon
in the bunch. Return safely to the
fence by making wide detour Of
the yellow-jackets' entertainments
and once out of the patch proceed
with all possible haste to tie spring

hill. Throw the melon into its
bubbling water and allow the fruit
to remain there until it becomes
thoroughly chilled. Then hammer

ruddy heart. Gaze but a moment
and then plunge your hands up to
the wrists into the juicy meat and

That is the way to enjoy a water
melon and it is the only way, as
thousands of boys in Dixie land
who have grown to be bearded men
are willing to testify.

terms of the protocol and thereby released
the United States from Its observance.
The medium view aud that which IL
likely to be followed, Is that General Otis
Is justified In doing anything that ID IL
necessary to protect his army and all
American and foreign interests in Manila
even though this obliges him to assumed
the offensive and to go outside Of the old
lines In pursuit of the insurgents who
may be seeking to reorganize and rsooup
from their late defeat with an intention
of attacking again or even threatening
the Americans.
Secretary Long this evening said that
no additional orders had been sent to Ad-
miral Dewey and he did not anticipate
that any would be necessary Just now.
He had:been acting on the theory that the
President desired to follow the most
liberal policy in dealing with the
Filipinoe and there was no reason now to
change that policy.
The Solace started from Norfolk at
three o'clock this afternoon with q supply
OF ammunition and other needed stores
for Dewey's fleet via the Suez canal. but
1t Ia not the Intention to send further
naval achievements.
1t was learned upon inquiry at the navy
department that all the American troops
at Manila have an abundant supply of
smokeless powder. The regulars have the
Krag- Jorgensen rifle and about 5000 OF
the same weapons are in the hands OF the
volunteers. 1t Is no secret now that the
authorities here were preparing to arrest
Agoncillo just as he fled, but probably
they are not sorry that he got of safely
and thus relieve them from the perform :
apce Of disagreeable task. The conduct
OF the remaining mem bers OF ths Filipino
junta Is still under close watch and while
the treatment to be accorded them has
not been determined 1t is recognized that
they are In precarious position legally
and can secure Immunity only by the ex
ercise of the greatest discretion.

Washington, February 6.-The import
ant news In Washington today was the
ratification of the peace treaty and the re-
CENT of lists OF casualties from General
Otis.
Prompted by General Otis. promise
to ssndl along the list OF casualties at
the earliest possible moment. the friends
of the soldiers at Manila besieged the war
department today by telegram, and word
of mouth for Information from the scene
Of the battle in the Philippines The list
was long in coming, fact explained BY
the cutting Of telegraph wires along the
American front which prevented early
reports from the division commanders. In
the meantime came short cablegram
from Admiral Dewey that caused soms
tenn porary coinmotion by creating the I'M
preston that hostilities had been renewed
by the Insurgents. Up to the close Of
office hours, however, nothing had come
from General Otis to confirm this INFER
ence and such cablegrams as did come
from him touched upon other matters en-
tlrely, so 1t was assumed that there was
no IOunuhtlOn IN ldCt luz eno "PPiShoA
sion. When General Otis casualty lists
began to come, they were somewhat con-
fusing probably due to the fact that there
aIe nineteen different lines between
Manila and Washington. The immediate
effect was to cause some errors to BE made
in the reported list Of killed.
As to the change in conditions wrought
by the ratification of the treaty there Is
variance of views, and Adjutant General
Corbin and Second Assistant Secretary
Adee of the state department were giving
the matter attention today with the idea
Of being able to send full instructions for
his future guidancs to General Otis i'm
mediately. The extreme view on one side
is that until the Spanish government
ratites the treaty 1t Is not Of legal effect.
According to that view therefore the
United States government Is estopped
from proceeding beyond the American
lines at Manila for the time. BY the other
extreme view the United States govern
ment Is free to do just as it pleases in the
entire group Of islands and will ther efore
proceed at once to complete the military
occupants of the islands. Perhaps there
is justification for this last view In the
fact that the Ftlipinos were Spanish sub
.ects nominaly when thsy broke the
