MR.. WEIGH SPEAKS
FOR THE FILIPIN0S.

When the people were being tortured.
Aguinaldo was merciful TO all Spanish
prisoners. At meeting of u. s. Con-
sui Pratt. Admiral Dewey and Aguinal-
do, Aguinaldo said he and his people
would be satisfied with the same terms
of independence as Cuba under an
American protectorate. On such condi-
tions Aguinaldo organized an army OF
$4,000 men using his own money to buy
arms, We told them that the red OF
our flag meant the blood shed for liber-
ty, the white the purity OF motives, and
the blue, the azure sky. They were
fools enough TO believe us. They
told that their government must go
down.
What brought on the war with the
Filipinos? An unconstitutional proc
lamation by our chief executive that
the sovereignty of the United States
extended over the islands before the
treaty of Paris was signed. Because
they resisted that, they were declared
rebels. The war began by shot fired
outside of Manila and the protocol only
gave us the righf to Manila.
THE war still goes on. Two days ago
the papers said another 1000 Filipinos
were finished.
What should we do? What Sena-
tor Edmunds suggests. Say to them
what we said TO Cuba. / agree with
Lincoln. No people can long exist half
slave, half free. Our principles under
go no change in the tropics. Save our
constitution. our honor and vital prin-
ciples"

HON. JOHN D. LONG,

Boston, April 2s.--It was the turn OF
the Republicans OF Massachusetts to-
day to select delegates at large and
alternates to represent them at the ma
tional convention at Philadelphia.
While the choice OF delegates was the
principal business TO come up for ac-
ton, yet probably the most important
feature of the day was the declaration
in favor of the nomination Of Hon. John
ID. Long, secretary OF the navy for vice
president OF the republic. That there
was only one opinion in regard to the
endorsement of the distinguished Hing
ham man was plainly apparent during
the address of Congressman Frederick
II. Gilett of Springfield, the chairman.
The first mention of Secretary Longs
name produced storm OF applause,
spontaneous and prolonged. The plat
form, another interesting feature of the
convention supports Mr.. Long for the
nomination. In order not TO offend
Senator Hoar and Congressman Mccall,
the new possessions OF the United
States were not mentioned in the res
outions. They, however. declare
strongly lOr the Iclthtloi VI al lhSe-
lar possessions.
1t was a few minutes after IL o'clock
when the delegates were called to order
in Music hall by Col. A. III. Goetting of
Springfield chairman OF the state COM
mittee. At that hour all the delegates
here were I'm their seats and there was
quite a sprinkling OF spectators in the
galleries and corridors. The convention
was as largely attended as the average
regular state assembly OK Republic
cans.
The leaders Of the party were on
hand at the hall. A band played pop
ular airs in one of the galleries before.

Chung to Their Positions as Long as it Was Safe
to Do drumming Fight Now in Progress.

London, April 2s.-All the interest in
the South African war is now centered
in the running fight in progress be-
tween the burghers retreating from the
southern portion OF the Orange Free
State and General French's horsemen
and the infantry OF Generals Pole-Ca-
rev. Chermside and Hundle. But the
British hope OF conclusive results is
slim at present. the Beers escaping un-
beaten and having accomplished an i'm
mense amount of damage. They clung
TO their positions as long az II was safe
TO do so and they have now slipped OF
to hold the next commanding position
through a broken country admirably
suited for rear guard defence.

A Bank ROBBERY.

A receiver has been appointed for the
Montgomery Banking Company, at Mont
gOmery, Fafette county, this state. This
bank started in 1897 with a capital of
twenty-five thousand dollars. and it is
alleged that its cashier has made way
with sixtY-two thousand dollars of its
funds, leaving but fifteen hundred dollars
on hand.
As the result of an examination of the
books of the suspended Montgomery
Banking and Trust Company E w Nc
Cormick, its late cashier. was on Wednes-
day placed under arrest on a warrant
sworn out by the banks president, George
w Champe, charging him with embezzle-
