Signs of Treachery.


In the latter part of May another group
of representatives came from the insurgent
leader. The whole matter was fully dis
cussed with them and promise of acceptance
seemed near at hand. They assured our
commissioners they would return after con-
sulting with their leader, but they never did.
As result of the views expressed by the
first Tagalog representative favorable to the
plan Of the commission, it appears that he
was, by military order of the insurgent
leader, stripped of his shoulder straps, dis
missed from the army and sentenced to
twelve years imprisonment.
The views of the commission are best set
forth In their own words:

we are now engaged was unavoidable by US.

been named after him than after any
other man, ever Washington himself,
although the bestowal of the name

similar honors accorded to Franklin.
Thirty-six places in the United States,

the name Of Franklin simply, and "a

great honor. This was In 177S, during

The Manila Pig,

One Of the curious sights to an Amer
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters is the eve present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut a small
hole through the pigs ear, one-half to
an inch in diameter. Through this
hole they insert a rope, with a large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often on the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay. Transporting pigs through
the streets Of Manila always attracts
a crowd, although the sight Is COM
mon. The legs of the pig are tied to-
gether securely, and the pig is then
suspended on a long pole resting on
the shoulders Of two native carriers.
The pig, with his legs up and head
down, makes about as much noise
while in transit as the pig under a
gate In Missouri and never fails to hold
the crowd.-Manila Freedom.
