soever race they may be-, will be exter-

the determination Of the army Of occupa-

Third-The defenders Of the Philip

guard at Bilibid and liberate the prisoners
and "presidiarios," and, having accom-

selves on the Americans and exterminate
them, that we may take our revenge for

Gen. Lawton wrote as follows to Mr..
John Barrett, formerly American minis
ter at Siam:
General Lawton's Letter.
T wish to God that this whole Philip
pine situation could be known by every
one in America as I know it. IF the real
history inspiration and conditions Of this
insurrection, and the influences, local and
external, that now encourage the enemy,
as we'll as the actual possibilities Of these
islands and peoples and their relations to
this great East could be understood at
home, we would hear no more talk Of
unjust shooting Of government into the.
Filipinos or of hauling down our flag
in the Philippines.
If the so-called anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the.
ground, and not in distant America, they,
whom l believe to be honest men misin
formed, would be convinced Of the error
of their statements and conclusions and
Of the unfortunate effect of their publica-
lions here. If am shot by Filipino bull

ton confirmed by captured prisoners, that

due to reports that are sent out from

MUNICH AWARDED DAMAGES
Linotype Machinist Successful Against
 Typographical Union

Buffalo, N. Y., January 5-Edward Wunch, Linotype machinist formerly em- ployed by the Evening News, who brought suit several months ago against David Shankland, as president of Typographical Union No of this city, to obtain damages for alleged conspiracy in forcing him out of his position because he refused to take out a card in the Typographical union, got a verdict of $650 in the supreme court to- day.
 The sum awarded Wunch represents his salary of s25 per week for the time he has been idle. Wunch testified that he was an expert in the care of Linotype machines. having learned his trade in the Mergen- thaler factory at Brooklyn. He had been solicited to join Typographical Union No. g, but had declined because he was mem- ber of a mechanics union.
 Counsel for Shankland in opening said the only question for the jury to consider was whether there was conspiracy. Jus tice Child interrupted dlim, and stated that he would rule that a conspiracy had prac- tically been established, and he would also rule that the only question for the jury to consider was one of damages. Justice C,hilds charge to the jury was to that ef- feet. A motion for new trial was re- fused. An appeal will probably be taken. Wunch expressed his intention of suing the union for reinstatement in g1s position.

In this block are located the Commercial hotel, which is newly built and has been open only about six months; the Commercial Printing company's plant; a big wholesale store; a livery stable, and half dozen or more retail stores, mostly groceries. The buildings are of two or three stories, the upper floors being used for offices.
 Just across the street, a short distance from the Commercial hotel is large cot ton warehouse, which was threatened at last reports.
 The fire started at 11:4O o'clock. Just how 1t originated could not be ascertained.
 At a. m. the fire was under control. The following business houses were totally destroyed:
 Donoghue, wholesale grocery.
 Teasdale's music house, including about a dozen pianos.
 Cox, retail groceries Weekly Commercial printing office.
 Vacant store room under office where fire originated.

 The correspondent asked what position Germany takes regarding Englands right to search German ships on the high seas. The official answered that nothing could be divuged at this stage, but pointed out that the Bundesrath was sailing dor a Portuguese port. On being asked what Germany would do should It turn out that the Bundesrath was carrying contraband, he gave a non-commfttal reply but con veyed the impression that such a discovery would seriously damage Germany's case.
