quent references to and quotations from
the reports Of General Otis and Admiral
Dewey and other officials in the Philip
pines. These showed that when Aguinaldo
arrived in Luzon from Hong Kong the
insurgents had an army of 10000 in the
island Of Luzon;. the Filpinos maintained
courts, schools. municipal governmentsA
and churches, and that peace and order
prevailed pretty generally. Spanish pris-
oners were kindly treated.
This declared Mr.. Hoar, ''is the con-
dition OF things which 1t is proposed to
crush under our heels and that hs

NOT DUE TO UTTERANCES HERE.
Mr.. Hoar denied that the present con-
dfsion of warfare was due to utterances
in this country. This he denied and
pointed out that in December, 1893. tho
President had sent a proclamation to
General Otis for publication to the FIJI
pinos. General Otis returned the proela-
nation with the statement that after
full consideration OF the term "Sover-;
eighty, fright OF secession etc. he
was convinced they were calculated to
cause an immediate outbreak Of HOSTILE
ties. General Otis amended the procla-
nation by making the statement:
Il am convinced that it Is the fnten-
ton Of the government of the United
States to seek the establishment of the
most liberal government in the Philips
pines
This appeared In the proclamation
published to the Filipinos. but copy
Of the actual proclamation OF the Presi-
dent fell into the hands OF the Filipino
leaders and precipitated hostilities.
General Otis had promised, Mr. Hoar
said. government to the Fflipfnos in
which they would be able to exercise
a full measure OF their individual rights.
Ibid he utter this promise To a peopIa
incapable of self-governn,ent-to half
savages and half Spaniards," demanded
Mr.. Hear. He thought it bold to charge
those men who had opposed this war
from the beginning with the RESPONSE
bility of all the bIoodshed. He declared
there had not been time when, II Gem
eral Otis had been able to give assur-
ances Of independence to the Filipinos,
the war would not have terminated. .
Concluding. Mr.. Hoar promised to dis.
cuss the question fully in the near future

and fourteen years old, respectively, ana

hCusekeeper and SoEernesS were asleep
Mr.. Pulitzer and his son Joseph, Jr.,
were at Lakewood. There were sixteen
servants in the house.
The servants in the house and the
passers-by discovered the fire about the
same time. There was not much smoke,
but the flames spread rapidly and We're
soon beyond control. Mrs. Pulitzer got
her children together, and with the AID OF
their nurses got them safely to the street

ons of them making his way out of -he
building by way Of the roof. He said that
he saw Mrs. Jellet on the roof, and that
size went back to get bag containing
Christmas presents.
When the tiremen found the body Of the
kouse-keeper on the top floor the bag
was in her hand. It contained number
CT silver trinkets and fancy articles. The
woman's body was partly burned. The
body OF the governeSs, Miss Montgomery,
was discovered after several hours 1t
was found in the ruins on the third floor.
The woman had only had time to put on
a shirt and bath-robe with a pair of slip
pers before she was overcome. Her body
was not badly burned, showing that she
had probably been Suffocated.
The fire spread rapidly after the start.
The firemen sent in a second and then a
third alarm, bringing a great number of
engines and other apparatus to the scene.
Reserves of police were called out to keep
in order the big crowd which had come
to see the flames, which were spectacular,
because of the wind tanning them
fiercely.
Mrs. Pulitzer, who is niece of Jeffer-
son Davis, had number of jewels IN
safe in the house, which was buried in
the ruins. She said that everybody had
had time to get from the house after the
fire started, as there was smoke only for
some minutes before the flames.
The building was completely Quilted by
the fire, none OF the stairways being left,
and the rooms being burned out. The
contents were an entire loss. and these
alone. it was estimated. were worth

Needed in New Mexico.

The American Beet Sugar Company
advertises for 500 industrious men, who,
with their families, shall come to Colo
RADIO and cultivate 10000 acres of sugar
beets for the immense factory now in
course of erection by the company. The
company offers every inducement and
substantial assistance to the families
who want to settle on the sugar beet
lands. Good wages are guaranteed the
year around to those who work in the
factory, and big profits to those who
lease or buy the lands which are offered
at very low and easy terms. That is the
kind of a company that should be in
duced to come to the Santa Fe valley
and to other New Mexico parts. Ten
thousand acres suitable for sugar beet
growing car be secured very cheaply in
this territory. Labor is easy to procure
at moderate wages, and there are many
other advantages, above those found in
Colorado, which would help to make a
beet sugar factory a profitable UNDER

where there are no competing industries
to disturb the labor market. The people
of Santa Fe or Albuquerque or Las We

other inducements to capitalists who
would promise to put up a beet sugar
factory and would take the initiative
in sugar beet culture. 1T is industries
of this kind, which give employment to
500 families at a time, that are badly
needed in New Mexico.

Facts That Speak Themselves.

Socorro county is a large county-as
large as some Of the eastern states.
Many Of it's communities are miles
away from the railroad and from po-
lice protection. There are many cow
boys and miners in the county who have
been accustomed to roughing it and to
resent any imaginary wrong by the
quick use of the pistol. And yet in all
of Socorro county the past six months
not a single murder was committed, nor
was there a single violation of any fed
eral statute brought to the attention of
the United States grand jury at the last
session of the court, and the United
States petit jury was discharged on the
first day of it's session. Socorro county
is by no means the most law-abiding
county in the territory, and when such
progress has been made within its
bounds as far as law and order are con-
cerned 1t is a sign that throughout the
whole territory there exists a respect
for the law that cannot be surpassed
and which refutes the SLAM
ders of those who oppose statehood for
New Mexico, because they maintain
that the people of the territory are not
as law-abiding as those of other COM
Facts Of this kind give the lie direct
to the statements in the Democratic
platform of April 10, 1900. that the
are corrupt and that lawlessness
and crime prevail and are rampant in
the territory.

Editorial PerverSity.

The White Oaks Eagle carols as fol-
lows: -Four gold mines are in operation
here now-the Old Abe, the South
Homestake, Lady Godiva and the Bos-
ton Boy. The thirty or forty men thrown
out of employment by the stopping of
coal shipments are now busy doing
something else. More boilers have been
started to feed the coal to-. AS soon as
the American Placer Company gets the
machinery in place more of it will be
used in their boilers in the Jicarillas.
The White Oaks district is forging
ahead; nothing can stop it. Capital is
already here, and more is coming. Cap
ital is favorably impressed because
chances for handsome dividends on in
because wages are good; business men
are happy because they get money for
their goods; in fact, this is a good coun-
try. If you don't believe it., investigate
for yourself"
This sounds very much like a Re-
publican jubilatiOn song over the exist
ing prosperity caused by an efficient ma
tional and territorial administration, in
which men with capital have confidence.
And yet the White Oaks Eagle shouts
for Bryan, silver dollars at 16 to 1, and
hard times. The ~perversity of human
nature is beyond understanding.
