The Two Days Fiesta in Manila to
Commemorate the Amnesty
Was Not a Success.

Manila, July 3O.-The two days
fiesta in Manila organized by Senior
Palermo and his political followers to
commemorate the amnesty, resulted
in a tiascO. The people were passive,
unenthusiastic and not even inter-
ested. Failing to perceive any tangi-
bic effective results of amnesty they
say they can see no reason for cele-
brating.
Judge Taft and his colleagues of
the commission felt constrained to
decline to attend the banquet, as they
had been informed that the speech
would favor independence under
American protection and they could
not passively lend their acquiescence
by being present.
During last weeks scouting ten
Americans were killed and II wound

were killed and 60 taken prisoners.
