MANILA PAPERS VAIL.
They Complain Because of Military
Restraint.

MANILA, Dec 26.-The newspaper
Democracia, the organ OF a coterie OF
Fflipinos, including the supreme court
judges, favOring American control in
the Philippines, tonight announces
that IL has been decided to suspend
publication. The paper was started
at the suggestion and under the pat
ronage of the Philippine advisory
commission, headed by Professor J.
G.. Schurman. The Democracia prints
a single page. in big type. In the
statement accompanying the announce
ment OF its suspension, the editor saws
he has been directed by the provost
marshal to retract certain criticisms
Of the clerical methods adopted in re-
gard TO the management of schools,
and adds: Recognizing the authority
OF the provost marshal. we have no re-
course except to comply, AMI have de-
cided to suspend publication until the
present extraordinary conditions re-
gardlng press matters disappear.
When We know what laws rule Us. Dy
what mode we are judged. ard 10
whose jurisdiction press matters are
amenable, the DemOcTacia will reap
pear"
The paper has generally beel 4
WARM supporter of the administration.
The provost marshal recently threat
ened TO suppress IL for publishing Al
editorial asserting that Manila streets
were in a worse condition under the
American than they had been under
the Spanish administration.
The Manila Times was also recently
warned, with an intimation OF lIn-
prisonment and confscadng for print
ing an editorial recommending Tie
creation of board of charity com MIS-
sioners to control the charitable insti-
tutions, on account of rumors OF MS
management of the charitable funds
Jy zoe CHURCH authorities.
The newspapers complain DistCrly
that the authorities exercise a pateihal
supervision, threatening suppression
they claim, for trifiing errors il tho
publication of news not connected
with public matters. They also say
the censorship handicaps a newspaper
enterprise by suppressing cable dls-
patches, received from respectable
agencies. whose transmission Is OF an
exceedingly costly character. The
matter suppressed includes reports of
government actions. among them be-
ing Philippine and American occur
rences which might give the Filipinos
an unfayofable opinion OF the United
States

year ago such wanton railing at all indus

them. Most people had not closely followed the
history of such corporations and did not know
what they had done nor what had befalen

much evil. 1t has become known to practical
and common sense voters that the man who
rails indiscriminately at all industrial organza-

UAR AND SPORT.
South Afric;

II seems like a stretching Of ideas to say that
American sport depends at all on the success OF
the British arms in South Africa yet II is pretty
certain that the best yachting TO be witnessed
in this country depends on that contingency
When he was last interviewed in England Sir
Thomas Upton was by no means so assured In
his tone as he was when he left NewYork. Since
then the reverses which the English have suf-
fered at the hands OF the Beers have undenia
bly altered the outlook for all kinds OF high
class sport. Sir Thomas Upton left here with
the full intent to challenge as soon as conven-
lent for an Americas Cup series Of races in 1901,
but now he says: IF put in a challenge II will
certainly not be before August. This will give
ANY one a chance to precede me If he wishes
ito do So"
But Il may be greatly doubted whether any
Englishman will challenge between now and
August and unless Butler or Kitchener arrives
at a speedy and conclusive success challenge
cannot be expected from Sir Thomas or any
else The commodore OF the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club. the Marquis of Dufferin. has Just lost his
Oldest son and heir at Ladysmith, and II is not
probable that the institution through which
challenge is likely first TO come will ask its
commodore to interest himself in club matters
for some time. Sir Thomas Upton Is the
rear commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club,
and there is hardly an institution or home in
Great Britain that Is not IN some way af1iCted
by the death manning Of some member or
near relative. In all her petty of the last
couple of decades England has assiduously con-
tinued her interest IN local sports She has
had so many difficulties in different parts OF the
world that they did not disturb her much and
II was thought better policy to continue her or
dinary interest in sport rather than exhibit any
signs of being perturbed. The present condi-
tions are different. The death list has been too
long and the suppressed anger and sense of hu-
initiation have been too red hot to permit the in
trusion of any idea one, and we have Ii on
the best authority that a challenge for the
Americas Cup would now be extremely unpopu-
lar In fact it has been stated that not a club
in England would forward it,
There something Of the same feeling here
when went to war with Spain, and a number
of the prominent yacht clubs at once announced
that their ordinary regattas would not take
place in that season. Luckily for u.s. our losses
were not SO great, and soldiers came from
all parts Of huge continent grief did not seem
to concentrate in one small spot as It lately has
in England. Nevertheless. although our causes
for mourning fewer the better classes of
sport had following that year, and it must
be admitted that the influences of war are far
reaching.
