statement:
.'The capture of Genera; Pho del Pillar,
cabied by General Macarthur this morn
irg. L. q most important one. Pillar was
regarded as one Of the most active and In
compromising Of the rebel cifieftains. After
the disruption Of the insurEent govern
ment and the dispersion of nearly all the
insurgent organizations north Of Manila,
Pillar managed to concentrate a considera-
BILE force at St. Miguel de Maumo. in the
Province Of Bulacan, and. although he was
unable to hold the place for any great
length Of time. he succeeded in withdraw
Ing his troops to the mountains and in
eiuding the several columns that were sent
out to destroy him. 1t was diff1cult to keep
track Of his movements. and he frequent
ly was reported as being at a number Of
places at the same time. That his cap
ture has been effected by the native po-
lice Of Manila, body numbering some
900. evidences afresh the loyalty Of these
men to the American cause, so often i'm
pugned both by Americans and Fflipinos.

cerning the work at Washington and the
duty of all st. Louisans toward the Fair:
The fight at Washington for the Worlds
Fair bill has been very fully described in
the dispatches to the ST. Louis papers. and,
therefore. It is unnecessary for me TO go
into details. 1t is just three weeks since
l left ST. Louis. l want to give special
credit to Messrs. Seth W. Cobb. Corwin II.
Spencer. Nathan Frank aid r. c. kerens
Tor the taithiul manner IN which they sus-
tained the fight against such great odds.
The Government has conferred a special
estimation on st. Louis by the prompt man
ner in which 1t has voted to appropriate
$5.0O0.0o0 in aid of the Worlds Fair. It has
also promised 10 invite the civilized nations
of the world at once 10 participate In the
great celebration.
While at Washington We distinctly
pledged st. Louis to raise S5.l0J.09D by pri-
vate subscription. and another s5.oOe09 by
the sale Of municipal bonds. 1 take 1t for
granted that no loyal st. Louisan wall hesi-
tate TO promptly come forward and sustain
US In the pledge We have given. What We
have to do is 10 get at work at once. and
complete the S5.0v0.OO fund. The time for
preparing for the Fair Is already too short
and any further delay would be dangerous.
l rely absolutely the people of St. Louis
TO raise the small amount still required to
complete the local fund and at once"
