'AGUINALDO'S ARMS,

Filipino Insurgent Papefs Show
That Filibustering Was Costly.
Washington, June I2.-Mal advices
from Manila give the following:
"Filibustering must have been a costly
enterprise to the revolutionary govern
ment. 1t appears from the captured
Filipino state documents that one cargo,
consisting of 500 rifles and 500, 900 rounds
OF ammunition. cost $1S7,O0 Mexican
money, before it reached the insurgents.
Among the items included in the bill of
the agent who engineered the transaction
was one Of $4,000 for hotel expenses in
Hongkong and another expenditure of
several thousand dollars explained as
squeeze which is interpreted as brides
to officials to keep their eyes closed.
"Agninaldo's letter books contain cop
les OF letters to all classes of persons.
One to the emperor of Japan accompa-
MED gift of sword, which was sent
as a token OF appreciation Of the kind
ness shown by the japanese govern
ment to the Filipn0s, the nature of the
Kindness being unexplained.
1.-The authorities are sending these Fill
pino documents to the war department,
and they are reticent about the contents.
The statement in the Manila newspa-
pers that letters had been found impli-
eating prominent business firms in the
city is said by the gossips at the Eng
lish club to have brought great uneasi-
ness to sundry guilty consciences. Rec
ords Of contributions by Manila firms to
the Instruction, the newspapers say, are
not surprising, because the foreigners in
Manila considered it necessary to make
such contributions by way Of insurance
upon their property"

BOYS CLUB.

To all the friends Of the boys in
Barre, the committee appointed to es-
tablish Boys Club, wish to an
nounce that the movement is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
1t seemed best to the committee to
canvass the city for funds, to carry on
this work by mail rather then by per-
sOnal solicitation. The National AS
ISOLATION has met with better success
by this method and at their recon-.
mendation, the committee decided
to adopt it here. Subscription books
were started yesterday for the first
time and 1t is earnestly hoped, as
stamped and directed envelopes are
enclosed, that these books will be re-
turned to the treasurer, Frank Cave,
as soon as convenient.
But more it is hoped that every
one will see their way clear to help
this worthy cause to some extent at
least.
We are asked continually to give
our financial aid to some undertaking
but few things are more deserving of
our help than those which go to ele-
vate the character and improve the
morals of our own community. The
subscriptions already obtained range
from 81 to $50 though these limits
may be extended especially in the
latter direction If any one feels able
SO to do. The persons who have this
matter in charge feel much encour-
aged at the way in which the work is
progressing and if the interest mani
tested continues, the club can be open
ed by the LIST of September.
