( A Zinc Town.
From the Cleveland Plain Deale

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Every house and household utensil that can
be is made of zinc in the town OF Bareira. Sit
uated on the coast of Portuguese East Africa.
Even when man falls down through the heat
in the streets he is carried to the nearest hos
pital on a zinc stretcher, and the hos
pital ITSELF and the beds and everything else
within it, are made of the same metal-zinc.
Again, when anyone dies, he is put into a
zinc coffin, which rests zinc settees, and it
is placed on a zinc carriage and carried to a
zinc church. and then buried in 4 lined
grave, if the deceased can afford the latter
luxury.
The reason is that zinc is the cheapest material
that will withstand the humid climate for any
time. i

The Khalifa was routed By Lord Kitche-
ner at Omdurman in September last. After
the battle the dervish chief escaped south
with some of his chosen followers.
Owing to his influence as a fanatic lead
ers it is not surprising that he has been
able to raise another army to revenge his
defeat and to attempt TO regain his lost
territory. He was last heard of at Sher
Keila, moving northward on Omdurman,
with about 10000 men.
Lord Kitchener has 5000 men at Omdur-
man and Major Macdonald. who has been
exploring East Africa. is hurrying TO re-
enforce the city's garrison.
Some anxiety is felt for the safety of the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who are
now at Omdurman on pleasure trip.

The celebration of Washingtons Birth
day in Havana shows that there is less of
anti-American sentiment among the mass
es of the Cubans than has been represent

was cheered by the thousands of people
who lined the streets and there were cheers
for President Mckinley. Every day the
feeling between the people and the army
grows better and the influence of selfish
demagogues less.

The alleged government instituted by
Aguinaldo has issued a proclamation in
which it is announced that no quarter
will be given to the Americans The
rascals know that the Americans will not
retaliate by killing Filipino prisoners. and
so they have nothing to restrain their
bloodshirsty barbarism. 1t is important
that the campaign against the rebels
should be pushed and the leaders cRptur-
ed. When that is done the war will end.
The endorsements will soon reach Gen.
eral Otis in sufficient number to warrant
an aggressive campaign. Aguinaldo made
a pretence of civilized warfare until the
discovery of the plot to massacre all for
eigners at Manila. Now he has no hope

Some Democratic Speeches.

Some Democratic Speeches.
From certain eloquent passages in the
speeches at the celebration of the Virginia
Association, it appears that the sentiment
of the American people on the Philippine
policy of the Administration is believed to
be misrepresented by the press. If the
newspapers of the country were in the
habit of making mistakes about public
opinion or even occasionally fell into error
on that point, there might be some show
of reason in the doubt. AS matter of
experience, no such blunder has ever been
made. When a great majority of the po-
litical journals of the country affirm that
there is an overwhelming majority of the
people on one side of an important ques-
ton, it is always found to be true. In
deed, any other condition would be i'm
possible. No matter what the opinions of
the newspapers themselves may be, it is
their particular business TO report the
facts and they invariably do it.
At the same gathering it was declared
that regardless of popular sentiment the
Democracy must stand by its principles
and continue TO fight what was called i'm
perialism. 1t is not clear that anybody is
authorized TO speak for the Democracy on
the subject of a Philippine policy. 1t is
undeniable that great many Democrats
are heartily in favor of the retention Of
the Philippines that they do not regard
it as a departure from the standard Of
morality of the country, but carrying out
of its highest principles; that they are
| traditions of the Democracy, and in the
| interests of civilization, of the American
Republic and of the Filipinos themselves.
They also believe that it is the shortest
and the only certain road TO the realization
of one of the dearest wishes of the De-
| mocracy-the destruction of the Chinese
wall raised by the Republican protection
lists in the interests of a favored class.
The Government which is the nation. is
engaged in war at this moment There
are Democrats whose patriotism impels
them to stand by the Government and 10
refrain from everything that could give
moral support and encouragement TO the
enemy. The enemy. in this case. happens
to be Spanish in its barbarous methods.
! If there had been any reason TO doubt the
! duty of the Americans TO withhold inde-
pendence and even the promise of inde-
pendence from the Filipinos because OF
their unfitness TO govern themselves, the
news of this morning and of yesterday is
| enough TO dissipate it. With the revela-
tion we have of the character of the in
| habitants of the Philippines. our duty to
establish the authority OF this Government
is plain, since no other course is open TO
Us. Therefore it is not practicable to raise
an expansion or anti-imperial issue now.
Not until the Filipnos are subdued and can
be safely left to themselves can intelligent
Americans be persuaded to enter into a
campaign for their independence.
