the latter point they have had three cen

NOT only are there numerous and good
schools for the mass Of the population,
all OF whom appear to be devout Cath
olcs, but the sons and daughters of the
Wealth1er natives are sent to France
and England for their education. The
papers and records left behind in the
lnsurgent flight from Santa Ana, San
Pedro Macati and Guadalupe, after their
mad and wanton attack show that they
nd a very complete system Of govern
ment.
1t may be argued that e.Aguinaldo's
methods of disposing OF rival politicians
and beaten generals is Summary in the
last degree, as witness the assassination
of gallant Luna, who twice most admir-
ably formed and led his men to the at
tack of the little force Macarthur had
thrown across the Rio Grande de Pam
pangas, but who failed to induce his
~Filipinos to charge; or the case of Gen
eral Eicarti, whose brigade was opposed
to mine at Santa Ana, { and left 100 dead
upon the field, dozens drowned in the
Pasig, and his Krupp guns, all his sup
plies and reserve ammunition in our
hands. From prisoners and spies we
heard he was sent to Malolos in arrest,
tried by drumllead countmartial and
shot; but that may only be a Filipino lie.
So too, the case of Colonel Arguelles,
the gifted gentleman Aguinaldo sent in
hopes of wheedling General Otis ate a
three weeks armistice in a Filipino
promise to pay in peace propositions.
Our corps had a soft heart
but a hard head. Arguelles went back
with the mournful word that Otis would
listen to nothing but unconditional sur
render, and the last we heard of Ar
guelles was that he was given II years
in Jail for his failure.
It has been claimed by some papers
that I favor Aguinaldo. I do not. I
look upon him as a scheming politician
and the tool of stronge minds like that
Of Mabini, his chief adviser. 1t is held
by some imperialists of the press that
my assertion as to the capacity of the
Tagals was unjustiiable, but I do not
recall any adverse criticism on their part
when Admiral George Dewey wrote pre-
cisely the same thing a year ago; and
tthough I did not know this up to a very
short time ago, l am reJolced ito have
such distinguished support.
That the army encountered peril with
such discipline and dauntless courage

therefore, why the secret societies should
take up his cause.
At the bottom of all these popular up
risings is discomfort growing out of de-
luges and starvation caused by short
crops. There is a great deal of misery
and poverty in China
Left to herself, China will work out, as
Japan has done, her own salvation.
Ruled by monarchies and despots. her
land will always be the abode of abject
misery and want.
Let the people who wish well to China
frown upon the establishment of a pro-
Electorate. 1t is the beginning of alb

we cannot, with the force now at our

THE SPOT.

The Cliff palace, for instance, is $50
feet long, so feet high and so feet broad.
1t contains 127 rooms on the ground
floor n accommodations for probably
as many as 1000 persons The Spruce
Tree house, which is only a short dis
tance from h Cliff palace, is one of the
most perfect and finished specimens of
The question as to the age of these cliff
dwellings is one of the most interesting
ones before arcf1aeologists today. There
are students Whoc lain that the houses
prove c~onclusively that America and not
the a was thhe birthplace Of man;
tntat before he appeared i'm Asia he in
habited the cliffs Of this continent.
While it is possible that all this may
yet beproved. thehre is at present little
little evidence to lead men to imagine
that these cliff houses date back even SO
far as $4,000 or 100, 900 years. Of cource,
there is no doubt hat they are very old
that they were occupied BY a people who
lived here centuries before Columbus
discovered" the continent, but it is
doubtful if it can ever be shown that
they antedated the ppearance of man in
Asia.
Interesting and important as this ques-
ton is the act that the cliff houses are
not as old as W. might wish them to be
does not detract from their value as
relies of prehistoric times, foor from them
we are able to learn manw facts about
the highly cultivated race that disap-
peared fro mthe face of the earth so long
ago.
We know that they were a peaceable
people, that they lived by agriculture,
that they understood arts and some of
the sciences and t hat they had we'll
established laws. 1t is also very evident
that they were compelled to defend them
selves from the attacks of savage neigh
bors, AND for this reaso they b uilt
their ouses in the c lifts. so inaccessi-
BILE that a few men could defend them
against the attacks of an army

cli ifs. There are no definite roads or

spent along the line of the Union Pa

the time spent at various points along the
road in inspecting property, etc, had

new arrangements and connections for
