FILIPINO GENERAL

 His Countrymen. WHAT HE IS FIGHTING FOR He Hopes That Sooner or Later Heaven Will Grant His People Freedom

 Stick Together
WHAT HE IS FIGHTING FOR

Knoxville, Tenn, July 1S.-Lieutenant Gibson Williams of the Twenty-ninth 'regi- ment in writing to his father here encloses a copy of a proclamation issued by General Cailles, the original being found on bulle- tin board in Caluang, eight miles from Los Banos and taken by him and Captain Tay- lor In part the proclamation is as fol- lows:
 To the Residents and Inhabitants of This Province-My Dear Fellow Citizens: The labor of the Philippine republic does not in one hundredth part resemble the terrible French revolution. The kindly re- latons we maintained with our cruel enc mics in the last days of the Spanish domi- nation over our people goes for nothing. It is in vain we have shown the most con- plete order in towns where we have gov erned. But by this we have demonstrated our capacity for self-government, and this makes clear our right to proclaim in- dependence it has already been recog- nized by other nations.
 To draw the blood of martyrs, to SOW the seed of misery, to burn the houses and de- stroy the plantations in our territory is the work of partisans of Mckinley, who, our
 
 signs have forced us to take up arms as have done in duty, first, to my race, being a Tagalo; in the second place, being a sol- d1er. And l am assured that what our armfes are fighting for is the honest desire Of all, and l profoundly hope that sooner or later heaven will grant it to us. Even now our enemies are viewing with alarm the decline of the imperialist party t,. their country, and are much concerned over the claims for justice by the Democrats, who would concede us our independence I trust, therefore, you will not abandon us and that your feelings are in accord with mine, if not you should lay your hand on your heart and there realize for what every Filipino should, and from time to time there will voluntarily burst from your lips the cry viva la independencia"
 (Signed) Your general, JUAN CAILLES.

Something Even in Looks

In country charge young minister was settled where his house was a long way from the church, says a Glasgow corre- spondent. He was fond of horses, and not only drove about the district tandem fash ion during the week, but shocked some of his conservative people by driving tandem also to and from church on Sunday. One of his elders went into the vestry at the close of the service on Sunday to remon- strate with him.
 Why" said the minister, "what is there wrong in driving them tandem more than in driving them abreast?'
 Tt disna' look weel on the Sabbath" re- marked the elder.
 Look! What about the 1ookv" said the minister. Its a mere matter of taste."

For the present, at least, it has the power to enforce its policy, having the Executive and Congress. The withdrawal of many troops from the Philippines for service in China, which 1t does not desire and has hoped to avoid, will be followed by sending volunteers to take their place. In the pres- ent rainy season troops can probably be spared from the Philippines better than they could if 1t were the dry season, and by the end of the wet season enough vol unteers authorized at the extra session of congress, should be available to increase the quota in the Philippines to what it was before the Chinese difficulty.
 There are many endorsements connect- ed with the taking of a great number of troops from the Philippines. In the first place the War Department is informed that the withdrawal of the Ninth Infantry, of the two battalions of the Fourteenth and Of the battery of artillery now on the way 10 China, has started talk throughout the Philippines that the United States is secret " retiring from the islands, that the stories or trouble in China are fabrications intend- ed to hide the American fear of the Fili- plnos and their intention to give up the Islands.

Census of Insects.

An insect census has just been taken
on purely scientific lines with view
to determine as far as 1t is possible
which insects are boon and bless
ing to mankind and which are the re-
verse.
According to the census inse :ts are
to be classified as good, bad, and in
different; the good insects number
116 families, the bad insects amount
to lib families, while the Indifferent
insects, who could not for one reason
or another satisfactorily answer all the
questions on their census papers, and
must therefore for the present be
looked upon as doubtful characters,
reach total of 72 families.
No fewer than 112 families of the
bad or injurious insects feed upon
cultivated plants and crops, doing
damage to and devouring thousands
of pounds worth of vegetable pro-
duce annually, gobbling up our spring
cabbage and sncculent young peas,
etc., in the most ruthless fashion,
while tue one hundred and thirteenth
family is parasitic upon and causes
much harm to warm blooded animals.
OF the good or bene iicial insects, 79
families devote themselves to the de.
struction of their wicked, vegetable.
devouring brethren, which they ac.
complish in most satisfactory and
Wholesale manner, while of the re-
naming useful insects, 32 families
act as scavengers, clearing away with
great rapidity all sorts OF decaying
vegetable and animal matter, two fam.
lilies aid us as pollenizers, and three
form food for our eatable fishes.

Eton Jackets Seem Popular.

Spring models for jackets and coats
are highly fascinating Whether long
Or short, each possesses a style that
is individual, for in no way does one
really "smart" wrap bear resemblance
to another. There is distinct trim
ming and absolutely different way of
stitching the long coat which does
not appear on an Eton style of jacket
or those which only just cover the
waist line. These dainty wraps are
often made of the same material as
the skirt, but this is not necessary
to be modish. Velvet taffetas, bro
caded goods and plain cloths, often
of another color, are used with good
effect.
Often on fancy model, or one in
tended to be worn when something
"dressy" is required, set figures are
appliqued on the sides and across the
back. White is used on the revers,
sometimes velvet, and these are
stitched unless covered by coarse
lace. A favorite trimming is the
French knot, and this has sprung
into popularity to a great extent. this
spring. Not only ia it used upon re-
vers of outside garments, but upon
waists worn upon all occasions.
4 violet cloth jacket with folds or
trimming of peau de sole of the same
shade is one of the new conceits, and
darker shade of heliotrope with
white revers of peau de sole stitched
with black is the style of anoth Ter
jaunty jacket. A long coat with high
collar, suitable for spring days is Of
cream cloth with bands of black and
silver braid. The collar is held in
place by long silk cravat. 1t is
beyond doubt the short, or Eton,
jacket that will be affected this year,
for it is graceful and becoming to all
figures.

South Africa and Domestic Animals.

South Africa and Domestic Animals.
1t always seemed strange to me that
the Natal climate, which is, on the
whole, 80 healthy for human beings,
should not be favorable to animal life.
Dogs do not thrive there at all, and
soon become invested with ticks. One
heard constantly of the native cattle
being decimated by strange and weird
diseases, and horses, especially i'm.
ported horses, certainly require the
greatest care. They must never be
turned out while the dew is on the
grass, unless with sort of muzzline
nosebag on, and the snakes are per-
petual danger to them, though the
bite is not always fatal, for there are
many varieties of snakes which are
not venomous. Still, native horse
is always on the lookout for snakes
and breads them exceedingly. One
night was cantering down the main
street of Maritzburg on quiet old
pony on my way to the Legislative
Council, where I wanted to hear o
very interesting debate on the native
question (which was the burning one
of that day., and my pony suddenly
leaped off the ground like an antelope
and then SHE'D right across the road.
This panic arose from his having
stepped on thin strip OF zinc cut
from packing case, which must have
been opened, as usual. outside the
store or large shop which we were
passing. AS soon as the pony put his
foot on one end Of the long curled.uE
shaving it must have risen up anc
struck him sharply, waking unpleas
ant memcsies OF former encounters
with snakes. .-Cornhill Magazine.
