EMPORIA, Kan, Aug. 2s~.-Lieutenant
William Weaver, of the Thirty-second
Volunteers, who resigned in the spring on
account of illness, and has just returned
to his home from the Philippines. tells of
barbarities practiced by Filipinos on Ameri-
can soldiers. He said that outside of the
Macabebes. who were friendly to the Amer
leans, the Filipinos are very cruel. six
men were killed at Dinalupijan,' said Lieu
tenant Weaver, land / don't think there
was a man that had fewer than ten bullet
holes in his body
s'In the case of one American soldier, 1t
looked as though the muzzle of the revolver
had been placed right in his eye and fired;
he was also stabbed in the neck and breast
with bayonets. Here is another sample
of their cruelty: Harry Easter, of EN-
poria, and Mcdonald, of Iowa, two of my
company. were killed instantly. Harry
Easter was shot in the neck and the other
man was shot in the back of the head.
Only about twenty of the company were
with them and they were attacked by about
$50 Filipinos.
1.-The Americans fought them an hour
and forty-hve minutes. They had to leave
the dead, and when they came back the
rebels had stripped the boys of all their
clothing. They pulled up grass and sticks
and built a fire on their breasts. We got
to the boys before anything further was
done TO them. We got Easter and the
other man away before they were burned.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-rhe National
Municipal League will hold its next annual
meeting at Milwaukee, Sept. 10, 20 and q,
as announced in the programme issued
by Secretary Woodruff, of this city. The
occasion will also mark the eighth
national campmen for good city govern
ment, and 1t promises to call together a
representative gathering of men from all
parts of the country interested in the sub
ject of municipal reforms. Aside from the
national interest attaching to the national
league meeting, the coming conference will
be of additional Importance because of
the fact that in no other State have the
questions of charter reforms for which the
league stands, been more generally dis
cussed than in Wisconsin, where these
questions have assumed practical shape.
Two sessions will be held each day, at
which subjects of Importance will be dis
cussed and interesting papers read. On
the evening of the twentieth the delegates
will be given a banquet at the Hotel
PfiSter.

not promise independence TO the Philip
pines, because such a promise would null
lily every effort that We might make for
the establishment of a government. The
Filipino would demand independence to-
morrow, or the next day. and possibly an
other bloody revolution would ensue.
I do not find in the Republican platform
any declaration of the policy TO be pursued
touching the granting OF independence TO
the Philippines. That party is not pledged
either to grant or to refuse independence
and, according to the terms of its platform,
IL may take any action on the subject that
wisdom and prudence would dictate. In
the platform the party agrees TO provide
for the maintenance of law and order, and
for the establishment of good government.

pinos.
/ am not defending the Republican party
in this article, but / am defending William
Mckinley. He has been subjected TO more
abuse than any President ever was. and he
has deserved IL as little as any one ever
did. In the most difficult period of our his
tory he has proved himself equal to all the
demands upon him. He has acted with an
eye single to the good of the country. The
war with Spain was not of the President
seeking, but he met the issue with exalted
courage. In diplomacy he displayed quail
ties of the highest order and i'm military af-
fairs he was remarkably successful. He
eminently deserves reelection.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The Sentinel. in an editorial, The Jour

strue this statement made by Jefferson in
1909: N Constitution was ever so well

and self-government." 1t will suffice TO
say that the Sentinel explains and con-
strues this statement so as to try TO get
some comfort out of it for the would-be
followers of jefferson and his opinions. but
who are followers of Bryan and opinions
antagonistic In every way TO those of JEFF

construction of the ABOVE statement, the
Sentinel looks to the words of the opinion.

this the proper way TO construe the state

CAPTAIN ENGLISH'S LETTER.
IL Expresses Views shared by Thou
sands of other Democrats

Chicago Tribune.
Captain William z. English. of Indian
apolis. the son of the Democratic candi-
date for the vice presidency I'm 1880, has
been as earnest and uncompromising a
Democrat as was his Gather. He has rep
resented the district I'm which he lives IN
Democratic national convention and was
once elected TO the House of Representa-
tives by that party. He. who has been so
long one of the prominent Democrats OF
Indiana, might fairly expect further hon
ors if he remained with il. while he could
hope for no preferment from the Repub-
lican party ii he joined it. Yet Captain
English has made public his intention to
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
He believes that as a rule the minority
of a party should bend to the decisions
OF the majority, but that in exceptonai
cases party fealty must give way TO the
public veal" when submission on the part
of the minority becomes an offense against
the public veal. Captain English is con-
WINGED that such an exceptional case pre-
sents itself now
He cannot support the Democratic can
didates because. first, the Kansas City
platform puts the Populists In practical
control of the Democratic organization
Second, that platform and its candidates
advocate unsound financial principles
Third, the men now controlling the Demo-
cratic party have acted unpatrioticaliV IN
pushing the country into war and then be-
ginning a cowardly fire in the rear on the
administration when IL was doing its best
to maintain the honor of the country
abroad. Fourth. while the Democrats are
against expansion Captain English r. Tor
il. He thinks the territory acquired from
Spain should be held. He served in that
war and does not wish to see It's fruits
lost. .
Captain English states the case well
when he says:
