What Our knowledge is Good For. ii
The attainment of skill is the alpha
as it is the omega Of science. 1t was
the attempt to gain perfection in his
everyday work that led primeval man
to take the first steps in that great
movement of which the fruition ap-
pears in the final development of our
modern universities. For man of
highest culture, also, the end and OBJ
ieot of study is, as Aristotle teaches
as, not the attainment of knowledge,
bvt the perfecting of conduct, and
this is true not only when we con-
seive of conduct as our action in rela
ton to other men, but also if we look
npoh it as action in relation to the OBJ
jects and conditions which surround
us. = From "The Field of Art" in

THE REBELS Quickly ROUTED.
GUNB0AT NAPIDAN IN ACTION
Rebels Received Shot and She'll From
Every Gun Filipino Barracks Were
Bombarded-Their Loss Was HEAVY
Rebel supply train Destroyed.

Manila, June lS.-A battalion of the
Fourteenth infantry is making recon.
noissance from linus toard Salitran.
where the rebels are reported to be massed
in force.
The gunboat Napidan has arrived here
and made brief stay. Her commander.
Franklin, reported the details of an en-.
gagement with the rebels on the lake while
General Wheaton as fighting near Taguig.
Franklin saw a party OF 500 insurgents
advancing under cover of the bluffs to at.
tack Wheaton's left flank. The Napidan
steamed unseen by the rebels to within
500 yards of shore, when she opened fire
upon the enemy with every gun on board
the two and three-inch, the Hotchkiss,
the revolving Colt, rapid fire Calling, and
rifles in the hands OF the crew. 1t was a
tremendous surprise to the insurgents.
The first discharge scattered the rebels
and threw them into utter confusion. The
Filipino commander, who was mounted
belabored his men with the flat of his
sword, striving to rally them, but they
would not stand to be cut down by the
murderous fire of the gunboat Finally
the rebels fled over the hill, the Napidan
Smelling them until the last man disap.
peared.
General Wheaton first saw the insur.
gents as they were scrambling over the
hill in their flight. He was ignorant of the
reason of their decentralization, his own
fire drowning that of the Napidan.
The gunboat then steamed down the
lake. A short distance down she saw
Filipino supply train and opened fire upor
it, destroying every cart and killing every
cariboo. Continuing down she saw the
new barracks containing 500 insurgents
which were shelled and burned. After thu
barracks were destroyed, Captain Frank
lin, with detail of men, went ashore anc
found nearly 60 dead FilipinOs and severa
wounded rebels, who had been left where
they fell. Franklin picked up an officer
sword, but it was impossible to distinguish
officers from privates among the dead. HI
reports that the lake is cleared of rebels
south of Muntuilupa.

PUERTO RICO HAS A PROTEST
COMMERCE BEING HAMPERED.
Commissioners Claim They Are Treated
Unfairly-Have no American Privileges
Due Them Subject to "a Military Ruler
in all Things.

New York, June 23.-The commissions
ers from Porto Rico to the United States
feel according to DR. Julio IIenna. one of
their members, that their adherents in
Puerto Rico have been treated scandnl
ously by the United States government
and 50 they have prepared protest,
which DR. Henna, upon consultation with
Senior Ganda, another commissioner, has
given out The protest says:
Puerto Rico finds itself at this moment
in an extraordinary situation. The island
is American de facto by virtue of actual
occupation, and de jure, by virtue of the
treaty OF peace between the United States
and Spain, concluded at Paris ON Deem
Der 10, 1898. Nevertheless, its soil, its
ports, its commerce and its inhabitants
are not for any practical purpose consid-
cred American.
The flag of the United States floats
over the soil of Puerto Rico but it does
not make American even the children who
are born under its shade. Ships coming
from the ports of the United States and
entering u port of Puerto Rico do not
enter All AIcIltdll, DuJ Il IOlclgn port,
and are subject to pay customs duties,
tonnage dues, etc
The commerce of Puerto Rico with the
rest of the United States instead of being
free, as the commerce between Massachu-
sets and Florida, or New York and Lou
ieiana, is burdened by tariff, heavier
and more obnoxious than that which was
in force when Puerto Rico was a Spanish
colony, and although Puerto Rico is Amer
lean and its government is vested in
American officials from the governor gen
eral to the health officers no protection is
given to any Puerto Rcan except upon
condition that it be carefully expressed
that he is protected as Il native Puerto
Rican, but not as an American.
"Of liberty and sef-government, the
Puerto Rican people have not had as yet
Il taste. They are subject in all things to
the supreme will of military ruler; sub
ject to no one else, though in time OF
peace, save the commander in-chief of
the army of the United States through
the channels of the war department"

Captain McQuestrn made close study

He also says that the peace commission
was an absolute failure and that its work

strongly supports the military govern
ment of the islands, except that he thinks
more men will be necessary than has been
estimated. He says DR. Schurman kno VS.

will be driven back to Manila in the
course of the next few months, during the
rainy season. Our men simply can not
stand the climate. Fifty per cent of them
will be incapacitated by sickness. Manila
will be in a state of siege again.
Zone of the greatest dangers that our
men have to face is the climate The new
corners will be at a disadvantage because
the volunteers who are returning home
are Injured to the climate AS a matter
of belief, the Filipinos think they have
the Americans licked already"

Berlin, June l9.-The canal bill en-
crossed attention last week, and the pa
pers had much to say pro and con, ac-
cording to party standpoints. The ulti-
mate fate of the bill concerns America, as
the construction of a network of canals
joining the three largest rivers in Prussia
-Elbe, Rhine and the Weser-and the far
eastern provinces, those bordering on the
German ocean, will cheaper and facilitate
the freights of American exports, notably
cereals, meats, cotton and other bulky
goods. Another point interesting to Amer
lea is the fact that the Prussan agrarians
and those parties atliliating with them,
the conservatives, reichspartei and por-
ton of the center, have made the bill a
test of strength between them and the en-
peror, though with the entire Prussian
cabinet pledged for the canal.
His majesty left no doubt this week
that he strongly wished the great canal
to be built.

OUR COMMERCE IN JAMAICA
END OF THE FRUIT WAR.
The English Monopoly Is Broken-The
ReciprOcy Between the Island aud
United States Decentralization Are
ImprOving-Severe Eearthquake.

Kingston, Jamaica, June l6.-The end
of the terrible fruit war and the collapse
of the English scheme for monopolizing
the jamaican fruit trade leaves the Bos-
ton Fruit Company masters of the situa-
ton.
This development has caused widespread
qualification. 1t is generally regarded as
the first fruits of that reciprocity between
Jamaica and the United States which is
so much desired. 1t is felt that the pres
ence of the fruit company will draw into
the island other American enterprises as
soon as treaty relations render assured a
permanent market for jamaican products
in the United States.
ALREADY there is a marked improvement
in the industrial condition of the island.
Only the conclusion of the reciprocity
treaty is now awaited. Should the nego-
tiations by any possibility fail, the blow
to the hopes of Jamaica would be a severe
one.
Much care has been exercised in the Sc
lection of the delegates who are to proceed
to Washington to confer with the British
diplomatic authorities there with view
to arranging the terms of reciprocity
treaty. If they are not successful in clear
ing the way for treaty, it will certainly
not be their fault. They represent not
only the interests, but the hopes of ia
maica.
