SOLDIER.
Gen. Anderson on the Character
of Our Filipino Allies.
Theodore SandicO Issued the Proclama-
tion Ordering the determination of
All Foreigners and Filipinos
Started Fires.

Were any confirmation needed that the
Aguinaldo party intended the massacre
of all non-F Filipinos in Manila and to burn
the city itself, it has been supplied by
Gen. Thomas NJ. Anderson (retired). He
was in command Of the troops at that
critical time in Manila, and in regard to
the wild statements of Senators Petit
grew and Allen he says in signed COM
munication:
"Sir-In the report of Senator Spoon
er's speech in relation to the suppression
of the Philippine insurrection, it appears
that Senator Pettigrew denied that Theo-
dore Sandico issued a proclamation or
dering the determination of all inhabit-
ants of Manila-men, women and chill
dren-except Filipino families. | was
then in command of the district south of
the Pasig river, and found the proclama-
tion posted in conspicuous places in my
part of the city. l had them torn down
and one translated. They We're signed
by Sandico.
II had received letters from him and
knew his signature. Moreover, soldiers
of my command arrested two Filipino
men IN women's clothes setting fire to the
houses in the city. They were brought
to me and had them turned over to the
provost marshal general.
Senator Allen also asserted that Senor
Torres came into the city under a flag OF
| truce to ask for suspension of hostili-
ties. As / know that Torres was within
our lines when the fighting began it is moi
apparent how he came in, when it seems
almost impossible for him to have gotten
out. On the 9Th of February white flags
were hung out from every Filipino house
in MANILA and the few Filipinos who
ventured into the streets carried little
white flags as an evidence of submission
Senator Aliens reliable informant seems
to have forgotten to mention this circum
stance in saying that he saw Torres going
to headquarters under flag of truce
Torres naturally inferred, without con
sultation, that Aguinaldo would like {
suspension of hostilities, for in front Of
our first division alone the insurgents hat
lost in one day 700 killed and drowned
400 prisoners and seven cannon.

ThOs. III. Baker on Moral Sup
port in Modern Warfare.
Aguinaldo Would Have Been Peaceful
Citizen but for the Encouragement
Given Him by Sentimental
Traitors.

I do not believe that the Southern bor-
der States would have seeded from the
Union in 1861 but for the aid and COM
fort given them by the Copperheads of
the North. When one distinguished ora
tor declared that the Union army would
have to march over the dead bodies of
10000 Indiana Democrats before they
reached the South, the magnificent utter
ance electrified Tennessee with hope.
Thousands of men hesitated upon the
brink of the awful abyss. They loved
the Union and hated the Abolitionists.
The Union was theory" entwined with
beautiful and patriotic sentiments. Slay-
cry was condition" in which was in
vested the hard earnings of lifetime.
At the supreme crisis came the promise
of Northern Democrats that they would
not let us be hurt: their bitter denuncia-
tions of the Republican party. The South
made the leap.
During the war we saw Indiana regi-
ments and brigades march through the
State of Kentucky. "Tramp," Tramp"
"Tramp," they passed through Tenues-
see, Georgia ana South Carolina. We
never did learn how the poor fellows got
over those 10000 dead bodies of their
Democratic friends and neighbors. We
were fully persuaded they killed and
made corduroy road of them, because
the anti-imperialists of Indiana said they
would.
Our next hope after we got mixed up
together was that England and France
would help us for commercial reasons.
Vallandigham, Stevenson and thousand
other Copperheads like the good brethren
who held up Joshua's arms held ours up
by encouraging us to hold out a little
longer, by denouneing the war "fail-
ure" and keeping us posted as to the
movements of our enemies.
This is all ancient history, but 1, an old
Confederate, can see very readily how
the anti-imperialist league can materially
aid Aguinaldo and his erowd. Every old
soldier, North and South, understands
the force Of moral support. Our war
would not have lasted three months but
for Northern Democratic encouragement,
and believe Aguinaldo would have been
as peaceful a citizen as Gomez but for
the encouragement he has received from
the sentimental traitors of the Anti-Im-
perial League.

The Crack In the Mirror.

Sir Noel Patton, the painter, enjoyed almost as wide a celebrity as joker as he did as an artist. An encounter he had with physician in Yorkshire, with whom he was on the most inti- mate terms, is an instance in point. Sir Noel was the physician's guest. His drawing room boasted of a mag niticent mirror, which reached from floor to ceiling of the lofty room.
 One morning while the guests were assembled in the room one of them mo- ticed q large crack near the top of the mirror. The physician was horror stricken and asked question after ques- tion in an effort to discover the culprit Perplexed and sOrrowful, he stood looking at the shattered glass when Sir Noel asked that a stefSadder be brought that he might examine it more closely.
 Mounting, he drew a rag from his pocket and hastily ran it across the supposed crack, when, To and behold, it disappeared! He explained that, having come down earlier than the rest of the guests, he procured a lad der and a bar of soap and inflicted the seemingly irreparable injury.

CONSIDERED.
Council Holds Special Meeting to
 Discuss Pending Ordinances.

At the special meeting of the city coun- ell last night the taxation ordinance and the ordinance defining the duties and fixing the bonds of city officers were considered at length.
 The taxations ordinance was discussed section by section and it was decided to change it almost throughout. The ordi- nance as amended closely follows the scheme of assessment and collection of taxes now in force in the state of Wash ton. Property will be assessed irrespec tive of its owners and the treasurer will collect taxes both before and after delln- quency. Taxes are made payable on December I, and become delinquent after March I, when a penalty will attach. Payments are to be made annually.
 Both ordinances were referred back to the city attorney to prepare on the lines suggested by the council. They have been pending for month and the special meeting was held on purpose to go through them. They will probably be acted upon at the next meeting of the council.

Actre,.e. Paint Their F.ce.

"It is a mistaken idea that actresses are as a general rule handsomer on the stage than off," writes Franklin Fyles in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The reverse is as likely to be true. Never theless all theatrical faces have to be painted It may be assumed safely that none of the complexion is genuine An exceptionally clear and pink skin may require no falsity A dark one may chance to suit the character to be assumed. But these exceptions to the rule are rare. The glare of artificial light would make most faces ghastly white or unpleasantly sallow if bright hues were not laid on. The art of col bring a pretty visage just enough and not overriding it is one which all ac- tresses should learn. Many do not, and so we see beauty disfigured in stead of enhanced. Others are very expert There are two distinct proc esses. One makes use of colored pow ders applied dry; the other mixes the same powders with grease, making a substance called grease paint"
