EXPECT THEIR HELP.
Filipinos Hope for the Victory Of

Revelations OF q Manila CorresponA.
ent OF a Paris Paper Concern-
Ing the Conduct of the
Aguinaldists.

An American abroad furnishes N
with proof positive that Aguinaldo
and his followers are looking forward
to the success Of the democratic party
and the election Of Bryan for help In
their fight against the United States
government. The following IL the
translation OF a Manila correspond
ent's letter to his paper in Paris:
Paris. April.
From a letter addressed from Manila.
February Is, to the Journal lie Temps. We
extract the following passages:
''It Is known that Aguinaldo. believing
his enemies satisfied with their success
during the dry season, October, November
and December. made oyertures OF peace
which were not only haughtily repulsed.
but also with threats to treat as rebels
the Tagal soldiers who might fall into
their hands.
"Aguinaldo In the north pretended to dis
band his partisans, while secretly giving
them the order to come and assemble In
the south around Manila. where their pres
ence was soon manifested by the death of
Gen. Lawton, and some battles. They are
still there.
"Such is for the year just ended the
showing for tho Americans In the Philip
pines. 1t Is not brilliant II we add the
solution of the religious questions.
However. II may be the struggle between
the Filipinos and the Yankees will begin
again with the return of the great heat
and rain. and ruin and violent death will
not fail to make a vast cemetery OF this
magnificent archipelago
ut is I'm the triumph Of the democrats
of the United States In the approaching
presidential elections where the Fiipinos
place all their hopes to-day. II Bryan Is
elected president OF the United States
peace will be the immediate consequence
Of his election"
According to the American the
are making cemetery of the magnif-
cent archipelago. He tells how they
killed Lawton and other Americans.
He says the war Is not yet over, and
then adds that the only hope the Fill
pinos have is in the election Of Bryan.
That is all they are holding out for.
IF THEY DID NOT EXPECT HELP
| FROM BRYAN AND HIS DEMOCRATS
| THE KILLING OF AMERICAN CITI-
zENS AND THE EXPENSE OF THE
WAR WOULD END AT ONCE"
zine clipping send" writes the
American, was written for the
principal newspaper of Paris, Le
Temps, evidently written by
Frenchman who sympathizes with the
men who are killing our soldiers. 1t
| is in the same tone as the articles
that slandered our soldiers during the
war in Cuba. The United States has
not an enemy anywhere in the wide
world who does not look for help and
encouragement 20 the democratic
parry. The United States has not a
commercial rival that does not SYM
pathize with the democracy.
Every human being who wishes to
see our. soldiers defeated is opposed
to Mckinley and in favor of Aguinaldo
and Bryan. 1t is singular indeed
what sympathy the democratic party
inspires among the enemies of our
country. No such sentiment exists in
regard to other countries. The enc
mics OF France, Germany, England,
Russia or Italy are hostile to the en-
tire people of those countries. But
| the enemies of the United States, of
| our brave soldiers and generals, who
offer their lives for their country,
look upon democratic leaders as their
allies.
THE only hope the Filipino insur-
| gents have Is Bryan. The only hope
the American soldiers have is McKin-
ley. 1t is the rebel flag, Aguinaldo
and Bryan on one side; and the brave
United States soldiers and Mckinley,
the stars and stripes on the other.
The line Is very distinctly drawn.
American voters will choose between
these two. This is only sample of
what appears frequently in the Euro
pean press.
"a TREE is KNOWN BY ITS FRUITS.
| THE FRUITS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY ARE MOST PLEASING TO THE
, TASTES OF OUR ENEMIES +
"Why should loyal Americans en-
courage their growth? Why should
true Americans vote in harmony with
the sentiments and wishes of our enc
mics? The boys in blue used to say:
We vote as we shot True ,Ameri-
cans should say: 4 vote withsth de-
Tenders of our flag, wherever il floats,
and not with its enemies Such men
will vote for Mckinley"
