HOBSON is PLEASED.
sKissing" Lieutenant Thinks Ameri-
can Luzon Policy Correct

Chicago, Sept. PA special to the
Record from Vancouver, B. c., says
Lieut.. Hobson left last evening for
Brooklyn. Many persons were at the
with the American naval officer.
Lieut.. Hobson talked freely and ex-
pressed the opinion that the serious part
of the Philippine war was over; that
guerilla warfare might keep up for some
time, but that the insurgents were well
in hand. He believed the United States
had done right in it's wars and had act
ed wisely in restraining the natives with
a firm hand. He earnestly expressed
himself regarding the defenses in Puget
Sound and of the Pacific coast, and ask
ed many questions regarding the defen-
SEES at Esqumalt, with view, it was
thought of protecting Alaska from pos
sible enemies until the Pacific coast de-
lenses could be materially strengthened
Again referring to the Philippines,
Hobson said: 1.-The United States gov
eminent has definitely decided to estab-
fish dock yards on a large scale in the
Philippines. Our new responsibilities
make that imperative We must have
facilities in the east for docking our
own ships and repairing them. We had
to use Japanese dock for the Oregon
That is all right in its way but we must
have one of our own in that part of the
world. One nation can not depend on
another for that kind of thing forever.
The new base will be established in
the Philippine islands. Cavite, being
close to Manila, naturally suggests it,
self, but the harbor has been found to
be too shallow and also announcement in
other ways. 1t has, therefore, practical
ly been decided to construct the dock
yards at Subig Bay, a sheltered harbor
about so miles from Manila which has
sufficient depth of water for all purposes
and is really an ideal place for naval
base"

yards. Lieut. Hobson inspected the ma

I refrained from its use. but the vonit-
ing still continued
My physician then attributed it to

my smoking and get as much comfort
as possible in that direction. noticed
that the smoking did not increase the
vomiting.
quite a time after that I met a
friend who in one minute put me on the
right track. by telling me that he was
satisfied that it was coffee that caused

Shortly after that 1 took to using

with favor the agreement entered into

GEN. GoRDoN's STATEMENT.
crate Veterans Talks About Histories of
the Civil War in Southern Schools.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1.-Concerning
the action of the Grand Army of the
Republic at Chicago Wednesday in
condemning school books alleged to
be used in southern schools as calcu-
lated to perpetuate prejudice against
the general government, Gen. John
B. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, said
yesterday:
cit is difficult for me to believe that
any respectable southern teacher is
knowingly using any book that is in

dice in the minds of southern chill
dren. More than 20 years ago, with
the hearty approval of Gen. r. E. Lee,
and I believe with the sanction of our
whole people, L made earnest and per-
sistent efforts to have banished from
the schools of the south and of the
north all sectional school books and
books which had any faint of bitter
ness against either section.

Gently held IN Chicago certain members,
both lay and clerical, freely criticised the
large expense accounts of some of the bish-

were charged with extravaganza, and told
that they had no right to live like princes

felt personally aggrieved by these criticisms,
and has published a reply. He declares that
his own annual travelling expenses average
less than $3.50. The bishops bill certainly
looks modest. He states that a commercial

comparison unquestionably is most favora-

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
4 Genuine Reign of Terror Exerclsed by
Insurgents over Peaceful Natives
Twelve Americana killed.

Manila, Sept. Copyright, 1900,
the Associated Press.)-The FiIipinos
seem incapable of realizing the scope
and purpose of the legislative func-
tions of the commission of peace.
The commission enters upon the gov
ernmental field under the following
conditions: A majority of the island
ers desire peace and the resumption
of business under the Americans, but
they are so cowed by long series
of murderous atrocities and destruc-
ticn of property by their armed coun-
trymen that they dare not actively
show their feelings, especially be-
cause experience has taught them
what such an expression of sentiment
will bring upon them from the merci-
lessly Fevengeful rebels. A genuine
reign of terror is exercised by insur-
gents and Ladrones over peaceful
country folk, in order to collect the
revenue and recruits their operations
require; and widespread vengeance is
wreaked in the vicinity of garrisoned
towns. For example. the insurgent
general, Cables, in the province of
Leguna, put to death the president
and office-hoIders of the town of Bay,
on Laguna de Bay, officials who had
been installed by the Americans and
gave orders that a similar fate should
be melted out to other adherents of
the American cause. He also ordered
that all Filipino soldiers who sold
their rifles to the Americans should
be killed.
Twelve Americans, including two
captains and two ieutenants, have
been killed during the past two
weeks. The official reports of the
encounters in which these casualties
occurred are meager.

large number of Indian tribes IN

department should send a transport

the miners as are penniless and liza
bic to endanger the public welfare
there this winter by reason of their

be destitute.

The Longest star Route.

Washington, Sept. 2.-There has
just been established by the post
Office department the longest ''star''
route in the postal service. This
route runs from Slzaguay, Alaska, to
Capt Nome, and is nearly 1000 miles
long. The mail will be carried on
sledges down over the ice and snow by
dogs. The drivers will travel by foot
most of the way, and it is expected
that a dog sled will make about 80
miles a day. That will mean so days
for the trip.
