WAR NOT ES.


Believing that the Kansas soldiers
in the Philippines have done their full
duty, Brig. Gen. Funston has written
TO the governor and other state officers
and friends in Topeka, sue costing that
interceSsion with the President To have
the Kansas regiment sent home at
once will be appreciated. Gen. Funs-
ton is very careful ia his communica-
ton to convey the idea that the Kan
sans are not making themselves liable
to the charge of INSTRUMENTATION in
this matter by making this request,
yet he says: "They have stuck to
their posts, every man of them, and
are entitled to relief Now that SO
many regular troops are here, l be-
lieve the Kansas boys would like to
get home. Not man of them has
asked me TO take this liberty. l simply
do it because / am sure the men would
appreciate it. They have been at the
front constantly and bear the marks
of the rough campaign"
Filipe Buencamino. one of the priests
who recently escaped from the insur-
gent camps, in an interview, said:
"Aguinaldo is remorseful. His in
fluence is gone and he often sits all
alone and cries over the miserable con-
dition into which he has plunged his
people. There is dissentment in his
army and the bands out for plumber
are willing to murder. They are as
dangerous to the leader as to the
Americans. Aguinaldo cannot trust
his own men, and as truth of this,
when his headquarters were removed
from San Is dore to Cabanaran, his
luggage was robbed of lot of valu-
able jewelry and clothing. The ban
dts are the men with whom the Amer
cans will have to deal, and in order TO
down them it will be necessary to keep
n large army in the field until the
thieves are captured or killed"
The following was received from
Gen. Otis: Two veteran regiments as

Gen. Otis that these designations could
not be allowed for the Philippine regi-
ments, and in order to save confusion
they would be called the 36ih and 37th
United States Volunteer infantry.

Liberals Predict Conservatives Fall.

The recent double liberal victory at
the Oldham election in England is
taken in conjunction with other recent
bye-elections and votes in the house of
commons as being most humiliating TO
the ministry and there are signs in
many directions that the liberal union
lists are asking themselves why they
are sitting on tAe tory benches and
supporting measures exemplifying the
old and discredited devices of conser-
vatism. The liberals are exul ing and
even go to the extent of predicting an
early dissolution. 1t is rumored that
tho recent cabinet meeting was stormy
and that many differences developed,
but so long as the ministry can adjust
its differences, it is probable that a
dissolution will not occur before the
autumn of 1900
