How about fruits, lieutenant" said l.
81 believe almost any kind of tropical fruit
will grow, but none are cultivated. We have
bananas which grow wild. and fruit
which the people call the naranga, but
which is not an orange. 1t is of the shape
and color Of the orange. but is about twice
as large as the grape fruit or shaddock
which we have in our home markets. We
have also bread fruit, but no oranges SO far
as l know. There are coffee plantations In
Antique. but they do not raise enough to
make coffee figure largely as one OF the ex-
ports from the island. Before the war about
81 800 600 worth of stuff was exported from
Ioilo annually. The province of Capiz pro-
duced half this amount, and Antique still
less. There is considerable tobacco raised
and some indigo, as well cacao or choco-
late and hemp. 1 believe the land to be
exceedingly rich. and doubt not it could be
made to yield many times as much as it
does"
In the Mountains of Fnnay.
How about the mountains?"
I'VE passed through them on our march
across the island. They are generally wood
ed, and are supposed to be uninhabited, on
account of the malaria, except by naked
nomadfc savages. The mountains are gen.
orally about 1900 5000 feet high, al
though in places they rise to 4,O09 and $500
feet. Mt. Bacloy is said to be 5,675 feet in
altitude. and the mountain Nangtud GRO
teet, or hlgner imam mount NaSnlIS tOn-
DO you hear Of any gold being discov-
cred in the mountainS?" l asked.
Yes, hear of it, but / really have no
positive knowledge about it" was the reply
There is black sand in every stream you
cross, and the Spaniards claimed that there
was gold in the sands of the Cababaya in
the province of CapiZ. 1t is said there
quicksilver deposits in the same province,
and that copper exists in Antique. These
matters will have to be settled by the pros
pector and by the government biologists.
Just now we have our hands full in trying
to keep the people quiet. l can only say
that the land looks remarkably rich and
that it can be cultivated high up in the
mountains. The climate is, far as l have
semi-cvilized and hard to control
The District of the visayans.
This military district is that of the VI
sayan Islands. 1t embraces the larger ISL
ands of the middle of the archipelago lying
between LuZon on the north and the Mo-
hammedan Islands Of Mindanao and Sulu
on the south. 1t embraces some of the rich
est and most thickly populated parts of
the Philippines and a number of large ISL
ands which are noted for their products of
sugar, hemp and for their possibilities in
the way of coal and other minerals. Cebu
for instance. is a great hemp-raising region,
Samar produces sugar, rice and coffee,
Negros, which i can see from Iloilo, has
some of the best sugar plantations, and the

DOCTORS REPORT.
No Further Proof Necessary.

Within the past few months hun
dreds of members of the medical pro-
fessiOn have stated that no further
proof is necessary to show that HyO-
mel is q positive cure for Catarrh,
Consumption, and all diseases of the
respiratory organs. The evidence Is
overwhelming.
their own eyes and been convinced by
their own experiments that this new
Eermicfde Is a cure for these terrible
scourKes, and If any further evidence
is required. it comes with astounding
force from the greatest authority In
the Countrywide United States Health
Reports, who for the first time in It's
existence stated edftOrially on jan
nary 9Th that the death rate from Ca
tarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption
decreased over 80 per cent. during
$500, and that this reduction was due
entirely to the use of HYOMEI; that
NO OTHER REMEDY OR TREATMENT
had any influence whatever In BRING
ing about this result.
With such evidence 1t would seem
that nothing but Ignorance and care
lessness on the part of the public
could prevent the early and complete
eradication of these diseases.
That HYOMEI and HYOMEI alone of
all the treatments and remedies used
should be the only one to ever re-
ceive the endorsement of regular
physicians and the United States
Health Reports Is not surprising
when the truth about 1T is known.
Catarrh and Consumption are local
germ diseases only. and cannot be
reached excepting through the air
we breathe, and as there is but one
Eermicide which may be carried into
the respiratory organs In this way,
no other treatment or. medicine but
HYOMEI can be used with any pOssf-
bility of Its reaching the diseased
parts.
II you are suffering from Coughs,
Catnrrh, Bronchitis and Consumption
REMEMBER THESE FACTS.
HYOMEI Is the only germicide which
can be inhaled In Sthe air you
breathe, the. only possible way of
reaching the diseased parts.
HYOMEI Ii the only treatment for
which your money is refunded in
case It fails.

and MISREPRESENTATION by others. We be-
lieye we have been right from the start aud
we believe we are right nov. Our record Is
open to the public and the fi:es Of .The
Morning News" will reveal that We have
always stood FOR the best interests Of the
state and for the welfare of the Republican
party.
A dignifed consideration of serious
public question is far more effective than a
continual deluge of words or daily budget
of contradictions. No self respecting man
can afford to handy words with black
guard and no self-respecting newspaper
should be expected to take cognizance, of
every willful perversion of fac's that may
be made. The truth is known here and the
truth will prevail.
The Republican party is passing through
a grievous trial, but in the end it will come
out with honor and dignity. We propose
to maintain our self-respect in the future as
we have in the past. Better defeat with
honor than victory with dishoner."
OUR ANSWER.
We wish to prove our position correct.
We expect the News" topermit Us TO do SO
in our own way and without reply. We
do not compare our statements to those
made by the "Sun" nor admit any "irres-
possibility" We believe the position as
sumed by the "News" has already lost Della
ware 10 the Republicans because OF It's
failure to correct false political claims
1t may do so again.
From week to week THE TRANSCRIPT will
add items, not to injure or misrepresent
the News, for "the intelligent citizens OF
Wilmington understand" and no further
| explanation is necessary.
| Item Last week the Morning News
published a statement from Dover With
| mucb flavor and without editorial com
ment, that the Union Republican delegates
were prospectively TO be admitted to the
Philadelphia Republican Convention, their
/ State Committee having been recognized
BY the Congressional Committee and by
Secretary Dick. This gave comfort to the
'senemy." The irresponsible and degener-
ate newspaper" could not have done It 50
well. Since the "Every Evening" and un-
der former management, the Evening
Journal" frequently charged the News"
with Addicks leanings, especially in its
business office, the whole matter had that
aspect. OF ccusre several days thereafter
the News following other papers correct
ed its own error by announcing that the
Republican delegates to Philadelphia had
been put on the regular list and that Ads
dicks must contest from the outside.
The whole thing had peculiar color so
far as the "News" Dover letter was con-
cerned, but of course the "people under
stand" and no explanation is necessary.
MAY 26th, 1900
Item 2.-The Morning News" did more
to injure the cause of Delaware Republi-
canism in 1884 when that matches leader,
James G. Blaine, was nominated for the
presidency than all other influences COM
bined. 1t kicked against his nomination.
The kicking hurt. A man may destroy in
day what it has taken years to build up.
So with newspaper. The course of the
News, afterwards changed towards the
candidate and campaign, was anything else
than that of "the leading Republican paper
in Delaware"

BEFORE THE NATIONAL COM
MITTEE.

Never has the editor OF THE
TRANSCRIPT so much regretted
his inability to write of current
events because of physical disa-
bility as to-day. A few lines
must suffice.
The Delaware Republicans
have taken the correct and only
honorable attitude before the
National Committee. There can
be no union with Addicks; the
evil in his heart is as rank to-day
as when he telegraphed that he
zsswould be Senator or sink Della
ware Republicanism ten thous-
and fathoms deep" To win,
Addicks and his crowd are prom
ising everything before the Ma
tional Committee, 'tany compro-
mise will be acceptable" to them
They are false. They promise
that they may win-losing they
would come home to stab and be
tray. DIR. Layton but a few
months ago was loudly proclaim
ing his desire "to be a presiden'
tial elector to vote against Nc
Kinley"-let not the purpose
serve him. There are honest
Union Republicans but Addicks
and his henchmen will go to al
lengths to win. Any promise car
be broken.
Because of the prospectfor two
United States Senators, Repre-
sentative in Congress, Governor
etc, the National Committee is
striving to make a compromise
to divide the vote in Convention
to divide the ticket. They de
not know Addicks or his paid al
lies. They may mistakingly
bury Delaware Republicanism by
substituting Addicksism. Goo
forbid!
