the faithful all down the line to awake

prising in view Of recent events IL the
President soon should be flooded with
urgent requests to visit various parts of
the country-particularly the Middle West
and New York-and while unable to resist
these pressing invitations it would be the
most natural thing in the world II he
should also find it impossible to forego
the pleasure of speaking to his fellow
citizens as he travelled from point to
point in his imperial domain.

the more the Republican managers read
reflect. and inwardly digest" the returns
from Vermont and Maine the greater be-
comes their trepidation. As cautious as
they are in the public expression OF opin-
ion. every little while something escapes
from the prison OF their minds revealing
a condition which is not as conducive to
imperturbabliity as they could wish
or as they profess to feel Even the
close mouthed and astu;e Hanna has felt
impelled to proclaim within the past few
days that the Republicans must wake up
and fight every inch OF the ground with
the Democrats in New York. Maryland.
Delaware. Illinois aud Indiana
The results in Vermont and Maine are
important only as they show that the
has returned and that the party once
more is in fighting mood. The Democracy
has never lost any important fight when
it was dominated by this spirit. The
citizenship OF Maine and Vermont is less
diluted with foreign blood than that OF
any other section OF the country. When.
therefore, there is such an unexpected
assertion OF natural political sentiment as
is shown by the returns from those States.

FILIPINos STILL DEFIANT.
Two Procrnmations Issued at Sueva
Caceres.

R. r. Randles. postmaster at Nueva
Caeeres. in the Philippines. has forwarded
to the postal officials copies of two procla-
nations issued In his vicinity The first
was posted by the American commander
and is rs follows:
THE Americans have come to remain
here. and under their flag wiz be peace
and protection.
The insurgents who do not surrender
will lose their property and lives. Those
who present themselves and deliver up
their arms will be permitted to return to
their respective occupations.
"TagaI soldiers will be transported to
their homes by the American Government
''The local governments Of the towns will
continue for the present as they are now
constituted. Money and hemp belonging
to the insurgent government must be de-
livered to the American Government A
reward Will be given TO any person who
informs the Government of hidden arms
or property of the insurgents.
American troops pay for all that they
buy. II any soldier shall take anything
without paying for the same. or shall
modest the people without reason. 1t Is
ordered that the matter shall be imme-
diately reported to the nearest military
commander"
In answer to this the insurgents at once
issued the following counter proclamation:
All the Filipinos who may be spies OF
the Americans will be pardoned from the
extrems penalty OF death if they present
themselves to the military. militia. or civil
qnfhorifv within he 9nara - sar dawc from
this date. wher they present themselves.
THE outlaw Marcelo Abinsay. an Ilo-
cano. is excluded from this amnesty, and
without fail will be condemned to death
IL he Is captured. and those In his CON-
pany Will suffer a similar penalty.
Any Filipino whomsoever has the right
to apprehend the said Abinsay alive or
dead, including his family. and all those
spies who do not present themselves in
ten days will be condemned to death-
ITO the residents Of Albay: This said
believed in any way because he is an
Ilocano. and because he is paid by our
enemies
do not fear any movement whatsoever
OF our enemies because for many months
now they have not received re-enforee-
ments nor ammunition nor food although
those same enemies say they will come
into the mountains to hunt US down All
this is lie, fer they have no more troops
and wish to return % the towns to COM
NIT assassinations. robberies, and murders
DO not believe In any way the wordy
promises Of the enemy. because the same
Abinsay is paid by them.
The Americans say that IL the Filip.nos
do not return 10 their respective towns
within the space Of ten days they will con-
sider US outlaws. and We. the same Fill
pinos. give the space Of twenty-four hours
for the publication Of this proclamation II
the enemies do not present themselves TO
the superior authorities of our na1son.
The said Abinsay is the source OF all the
abuses the Americans make: therefore.
all patriotic Filipinos of our beloved
country where We were born have the RICH.

warded by the Government"
