Lexington Herald
DIR. Ben Vanmeter, who has been in
the United States service in the Philip
pines acting in the capacity of Assistant
Surgeon, has returned to Lexington.
Or. Vanmeter talked to The Herald en-
tertainingly OF his experience on the
islands.
"Some eighteen months ago our army
in the Philippines was waging war with
a we'll organized and fully equipped
army, as we know, under the leadership
of Aguinaldo, self declared Emperor
Of the Philippine Islands, but spoken of
by a certain self-named cultured set of
|. Bostonians as 'the Washington, the
father of his country This army was
equipped with Mauser rifles of the lat
est pattern and in some ways superior
to our own Krag-Jorgensen. They had
an abundance of money and a well
equipped, we'll organized quartermas-
ter's commissary department, and they
had the interior of the islands in close
communication by telegraph and cour-
Ter. The Filipinos looked upon Agui-
naldo as being genius and one protected
by special providence, and they being
of a naturally superstitious nature be-
lieved that he could deliver them from
the friars as we'll as from foreign intiu-
ence.
cat that time we had some $1,000
American soldiers against Aguinaldo's
army of 10000. We only held Manila
on the Island of Luzon, and Iloilo on
the Island of PAM, and the capital of
one or two smaller islands, Aguinaldo's
army being in possession of the terri
tory, the island.
"The greatest part of the organized
warfare took place on the Island of Luz
zon. North and South of Manila we
have, without single exception, fought
our way to both the Northern and South
ern extremes of the Island of Luzon
amid great hardships caused by the eli
mate and the difficult way in which food
supplies had to be transported. Agui-
naldo's army had been driven into the
rough Businesses of the mountains where
they had collected in small bands, rang
ing from 80 to 300. These bands had es-
bobliShOt ShlchShNAtS ~ viz
from which they made raids to the fer
tile valleys and stole from their coun-
trymen cattle, rice and supplies, and
returned again to the mountains.
"The question has often been asked;
Where does the money come from to
support Aguinaldo's army?' All those
who have served in the Philippines and
come in contact with and made friends
of the substantial property owning ma
tives know that Aguinaldo has extorted
the money from his unsympathizing
countrymen by threats of what he would
do when Mr.. Bryan was elected and the
American army withdrawn. was told
by one of the most influential land own
ers of the Island of Negros that Agui- |
naldo had sent a private courier to him
requesting him to forward by that cour-
Ter 5000 for the support of the insurrec-
ton, saying that If he refused to do this,
when Mr., Bryan was elected and the
American army withdrawn he would |
have him beheaded and his property |
confiscated and given to the generals.
This is not a single instance, but it is
we'll known throughout the army that
the instruction is receiving more sup

port from our Boston insurrectionists
try than from any other source, and that
Aguinaldo's money was extorted from
his countrymen by terrorlzing them
with threats of what he would do when
the army was withdrawn and he was in
power.
"The pamphlet written by one Edward
Atkinson was translated into Spanish
and freely circulated among the Flip
mos by Aguinaldo's direction. At the
time we were chasing Aguinaldo
through the mountains and captured his
wife and private papers, it was found,
much to our surprise, that he had all Of
the prominent home papers of the same
date as ours, articles from which he had
translated into Spanish and freely cir
culated.
al have often been asked by promi-
nent Filipinos If the United States in
and if the army was going to be kept
there, and what would be the result of
Mr.. Bryan's election; if there was any
possibility of the army being with
drawn, and l was as ignorant of what
would be done in case of Mr.. Bryan's
election as they were.
"When these demands for money were
made, they, without an exception, were
complied with, as it seemed that the
only sensible thing to do was to make
themselves safe by furnishing money
for the instruction and themselves
agreeable to the Americans.
at seems to be an evident fact that
Aguinaldo had friends among our own
people who were in position 90 furnish
papers and literature detrimental to our
acquiring possession of the Island. The
influential properly owning natives, al
most without an exception, are in favor
of the American rule in the island, and
say without hesitancy that they believe
the Filipinos to be incapable of self
government. They also believe that in
case they were left to their own re-
sources the island would be taken by
some other foreign power, and of all the
foreign powers they prefer the Ameri-
can, and for that reason have done a
great deal to forward the interests of
the American army.
"The American people hardly appre-
ciate the tremendous interest taken in
our next presidential election by the
Filipinos. The supporters of Aguinaldo
are made to believe that on the day of
Bryan's Inauguration, If such a thing
should occur, the American army to a
man would be aboard ship to return to
America. The property owners are kept
in great terror for fear such thing
might happen, and for that reason the
country is in a most unsettled state and
the people know not which way to turn
for fear they would be in disfavor with
the powers to come in case America
should give up the island.
at is the opinion with the army that
if Mr.. Mckinley is elected the insurrec-
ton will be at an end, and the people
who are at heart in favor of American
rule will be able to declare themselves
in favor of America and that their infiu-
ence will settle the question for the fu-
ture, and we will need there only a
sufficient army to maintain law and or

National Capital Centennial.

Tomorrow Washington will celebrate the olle hundredth anniversary of the estab- lshment of the capital ''in it's midst" so to speak There will be exercises al the White House, now a historic structure, and then a procession down The Avenue of officials, of the army, of governors of States and of the authorities of the District of Columbia. Il will be a grand parade, and all Washing ton will be there to see The parade will be ended at the capital, where more exer- cises will be held, more orations delivered, and more passing of troops will take place. The visiting Governors will be honored in the evening at the Art Gallery. More than half of the Governors of the States will be present; and if the Legislature had not been ir session in this State and about to ad- journ for the customary recess; no doubt Governor Jelks would also have assisted in the celebration.
 The real object of the festal and speech making occasion is to impress upon Con- gress the wisdom of doing more for the capital city. A larger White House is wanted, a Hall of Records and variety rify itself for the sake of obtaining appro- priations for these additions. AS Washing ton is regarded as the permanent capital of the country, although far away from Indi- ana, the centre of population, it is of course well that it should have all that capital of big and rich country has right to expect.

Ten Cent lax on OIeomarqerine.

By a majority of nearly 100 the House bill, and sent it to the Senate. The object of the bill Is to put an end to the sale and manufacture of imitation butter; the real object, however, of the bill so far as Con gress itself is concerned, is to propriate heavy farmer vote in the northern butter making states. This is why the bill was advanced on the calendar and then pushed to passage after a single days debate. Tue bill goes to the Senate, where it will be passed, because million farmer at least are watching it, ready to punish any one who stands in the way of the bill. It is essentially political bill; and yet it is a good bill because it aims to protect both the farmers who make butter and the consum- CTS who are robbed through extortionate prices for an imitation article.
 The bill as passed by the House makes all articles known as oleomargarine, but terine, imitation butter or imitation cheese, transported into any state or territory for consumption or sale, subject to the police power of such state or territory, but pre- vents any state or territory from forbid cling the transportation or sale of such product when produced and sold free from coloration in limitation of butter. The bill increases the tax on oleomargarine colored in imitation of butter from to 10 cents per pound and decreases the tax on oleo- margarine uncolored from cents to + of cent per pound.
 It was shown in the debate that the cost of oleomargarine is not over 10 cents a pound, and that it is often sold at twice that sum- The chief market of imitation butter Is in the south, and it is not un- likely that some will Nlave to pay higher price for butter" when the Grout bill goes into effect. as it assuredly will.

JOHN JACOB AsToR's ALTRuIsM.

From New York Letter.
 Colonel John Jacob Astor has approved a plan for giving many of the East Side ten ants an opportunity to purchase the lease hold land on which they have erected build ings. The block to be sold is bounded by First avenue and Avenue A. Fourth and Fifth streets It Is valued around $550,000 Many of the twenty-year leases held by small tradesmen expires during the next few months. These tenants have made enough money to buy the land outright.
 The block adjacent on the north, between Fifth and Sixth streets, was sold in similar manner in 1898.
 A short time before William Waldorf As tor had sold to a group of professional op- orators a nearby East Side block and the tenants complained bitterly because they were forced to abandon their buildings when MT. Astor refused to renew their leaSeholdS.

ADDICKSlSM IN DELAWARE.

From the New York Sun.
 At the wedding of the daughter of one of MT Addick's henchmen in Delaware some months ago a large case of silver attracted great attention. It was, by all odds, the flandsomest of a number of handsome pres ents, the silver including every variety of table implement, known and unknown. Most of the guests suspected from whom the gift might be; one finally put the ques- MT. Addicks sent it." was the answer; isn't it magnificent?

Army Bill in the Senate.

The army bill has gone to the Senate, but the Senate refuses to consider the new bill as its former bill simply because 1t con tains the old enactment clause. The Senate proposes to consider the new bill as sub stltute bill, and to consider it in detail in stead of demanding a conference commit tee.
 A bill that increases the number of gen erals and staff officers from 5f to SS1 and the number of line officers from POOP to 2SSS, and the number of men to a maximum of 100000. certainly deserves a good deal of consideration.
 The House bill contains Q provision de- signed to abolish the canteen, thus strik- ing at the sale of beer or wine at an army post. The testimony as to the army can teen is conflicting, some condemning it and some holding that 1t keeps soldiers out of worse places and reduces drunkenness. Army posts are invariably surrounded by vile dens, and the army canteen was de- vised to check their operations and per- haps stamp them out
 The officers for the 5000 of men practi- cally added to the regular army are to be taken from the volunteer force up to and including the grade of first lieutenant, and vacancies on the staff may be filled by vol unteers.
 The bill provides for a complete reor- ganization of the artillery. and altogether it places the army on the basis, if not of imperialism, at least on the basis of a great power and international meddler The bill is booked to go through as an administra- tion measure. and the country may as well

MANCHESTER'S iMITATORS.

From a New York Letter.
 Manchester has made the Holland House a magnet for the chappies. They throny the corridors and smoking room today and hang around patiently for a glimpse of the latest flesh and blood duke Already they are proving that imitation is their sheer est tribute to nobility. Manchester carries his handkerchief in the left sleeve of his coat, a habit contracted by English off cers who have no pockets in their blouses. Every worshpper at the ducal shrine now carries his handkerchief the same way. The reverential interest displayed in this lord ling is growing very tiresome. Manchester looks like clever young chap, no more re- markable than any other man in the twen- ties who has sufficiency of good manners and an overabundance of debts. He seemed heartily bored by the interest taken in his every movement. During a brief stroll Oil Fifth avenue this morning he was fol- lowed by a group of curious people which swelled to such proportion that the duke finally sought refuge in his hotel.
