AN ALLEGED PLOT
Against the Authorities at

Letters and Documents from AguinaI-

An Appeal h the Natives to Cist on the BoNd

Washington. July 22-The secretary
Oh war mas been furnished with copies
Of some interesting documents relat-
ing to an alleged plot against the au-
thorities in Manila which We're discov-
cred in the district of San Miguel. The
secret service department, under Lieut..
Charles X. Trowbridge, 18th Cavalry,
early in June, stumbled upon an insur-
gent recruiting Office, situated in an
isolated locality, where the work might
be carried on without attracting notice
One room of the house was fitted up
as an office and large quantity of
blank FORMS bearing the headline Re
publica Filpinos," were found.
In a cupboard which had been secure
~ fastened Trowbridge and his men
discovered a large quantity of papers,
all of recent date, the latest being June
IL. They consisted of orders from Agui-
naldo and letters of encouragement and
instruction from that leader and other
insurgent chiefs. A document which
excited A great deal of interest was one
which contained the details of a plot
arranged evidently early in June to
excite an uprising in Manila. The plan
contemplated an attack upon the force
in the city and the seizure of arms and
ammunition. Another paper which is
of interest is translated as follows:
AN APPEAL.
I'VE will not be slaves; let the Fill
pinos stand together and battle for
their liberties. Already they have laid
the cornerstone of their liberties, and
it will not be long before the nations
OF the world will recognize their
strength. The blood of innumerable
| n artyrs bears ample testimony to the
FiIipinos' love of freedom and their de-
termined purpose not To cease strug
Cling for it. Shall they allow the
Americans to exercise uncontested
sway over the fair Filipinos? If they
do then the fate of the American red
men is theirs and eventually a reser-
walton Will be assigned to them.
Brothers. our cause is just: therefore
let us continue as a thorn in the side
Of our oppressors and strike where We
dare, sparing neither men. women,
children nor old people. Those who
stay by each other in hours of adver-
sity are sure to conquer in the end"

THIRTY WERE KILLED
What the Glorious Fourth Did for the
People of tho United S5ateS-Loss
Caused by Fireworks.

Chicago, July 5.-By the use of fire
arms, toy cannon, giant crackers and
other forms of explosives, so persons
were killed and 1926 injured in
the Fourth OF July celebrations in
various cities. The toy pistol and the
toy cannon are shown to have done
as deadly execution as sometimes
has been done in war by those loaded
with bullets and canister and aimed
to kill. Sky rockets, anvil and pow
der explosions and the premature
discharge of Fourth of July cannon
help to complete the list of mishaps.
In several instances people were killed
through runaway accidents. A fire
loss of 1928, 1925 was caused by the
fireworks in addition to the injury to
human life.

CHOATE AND THE BABY.
The American Ambassadors Nail
Head Wit In an Address In
England.

Lately, at, the opening of free library at
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph II. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to a
baby who persisted in distracting the at
tention of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most inconvenient moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut The first
Interruption occurred early in the speech.
MIR. Choate was saying: There is a spe-
cial provision for children in your library,
and l think when men come to make a
choice of a residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such manner as to drown the
words of the speaker, There was some dis
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop that out of the
mouths Of babes and sucklings cometh wis
dom" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
There is a book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sibly, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa-
dor went on; cit is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that of the making of books there is no end"

CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK.
Embarrassing Position of an Absent
Minded Woman Who Had Made
Mistake.

4 lady who keeps a summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house over
and find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for
got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off.
Then the owner of the umbrella, wom-
an standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: 'tY on have taken my UNI
brella!" Of course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her huster her own bundle of UNI
brellas. The next day, on her way to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed lady cycling her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phasis:
you seem to have been more fortunate
to-day!"
It was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.
