FILIpINos
TWO Companies Give Up Their Arms
to The Americans-One at Guyapo
and other at TarIac.

Washington, May 29.-The war de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Gen. Macarthur, at
Manila, dated Monday:
Three officers, Sc men, with 46 rifles, sur
rendered Internationally at Guyapo yes
terday. Three officers, 46 men with So rifles
surrendered Internationally to-day at
Tarlac. These spontaneous surrenders are
very encouraging"
Gen. Corbin said that Gen. MaeAr-
thurs dispatch shows that the situa-
ton in the-Philippines is improving.
The present policy of the army, he
said, is to disarm and not to kill the
Filipino insurgents, and that object
is being facilitated by the action Of
the Filipino captains in getting their
men together and surrendering in a
body. In such cases the men get re-
eeipts for their arms and ammuni-
ton. There is no longer any organ
lied resistance, he says, and<the only
trouble comes fFomf bands of guer-
.ri12s- Who swoop down on the unpro-
tected natives, steal all they can lay
their hands on and run off with their
booty before the troops can reach
them. The marauders receive no
mercy from the troops, and are shot
down whenever caught looting their
terrorized countrymen. Every effort
is making to disarm these bands and
to get control of all arms and ammu-
milton IN the islands as an essential
preliminary to the establishment of
civil government. With their supply
Of ammunition cut off the bandits and
guerrillas would become practically
harmless, and their capture easily eff
fected through the help of friendly ma
tives who no longer would have cause
to fear them. Consequently the vol
untary surrender Of insurgent bodies
with their arms and ammunition is
very encouraging to the administra-
ton officials.

The Right Thing has been Found.
An oskaloosa Citizen Shows
the Way.

|..N
Once more we are indebted to an
O~skaloosa citizen for a public. state
ment that throws more light on q
subject OF ever-increasing interest.
People have been deceived by false
Misrepresentation from time menu
orial. No wonder they are skeptical
Of all claims endorsed by strangers,
residing in far-distant parts of the
nnion. 1t is no longer necessary to
accept such endorsements, for local
citizens r giving their testimony,
and tits an easy matter for any read
er to investigate the correctness OF
such evidence as the following;
Mr.. David Robertson, Qf 1910 O
avenue east, carpenter by trade, says:
EVERY spring during the months of
broken weather / had more or less
kidney trouble. There was consider
able pain In the small of my back
over the kidneys and those organs
showed distinct evidence of being
disordered. On the lookout foreome-
thing to relieve me / saw boan's
Kidney Pills advertised to cure all
ments similar to mine. l went to
Blakeslee & Heinzman's drug store
and got a box. They proved to be
the right thing in the right place, and
their use amply verified the claims
made for them were true. After
using all the pills in the box my back
bothered me no more"

With Col. Bryan as president and

ury, every day of the year would be
Sunday. Nobody would have to get up
early in the morning to go to work;
there would be no octopus to keep US
awake night; nobody would be en-
vious Of anybody else's wealth, be-
cause nobody would have any money;
corn would be 10 cents bushel and
nails only dollar a key, so everybody
would have plenty to eat and drink;
nobody would have anything to worry
about, because worrying wouldn't
help matters any. All we should have
to do in those halcyon days would be
to stand on the corner and enlighten
our neighbors concerning the great
national problems. There amt no use

FRENCH COURTESY.

Anna Gould Castellane has been tell
ing an interviewer in New York THAI
the French people are more courteous
than the Americans. Well, Anna, that
depends altogether upon your defini-
ton of courtesy. If you mean by it
ability to bow and scrape and fiatter,
you are undoubtedly right in saying
that the Frenchman is ahead of the
American. But if you mean by cour-
1esy true instincts of politeness, a feel
ing that it is a pleasure to consider
Others, the ability to5be polite without
making display of it, kindness to
men on the part of women, and an
intllitive feeling in mans mind that
woman is. higher and better than he, if
this is what you understand by cour-
,tesy, Anna. your statement is, wrong,
In true courtesy, as in true manhood,
the Americans are as far ahead of the
French as the American citizen is
ahead of the French peasant in intel
ligence and prosperity.

NO TROUBLE SINCE.

In is interesting to notice the state
ment of VIM. E. Curtis, OF the Chicago
Record, that "since Mr.. Macrum left
Pretoria there has never been the
slightest difficulty or delay in COM
ununicating with the United States
consul at that place. While Mr.. Hollis;
our consul at Lourenzo Marques, was
acting at Pretoria, and since he was re-
lieved by Mr.. Hay, the department. of
state has received cablegrams almost
daily and voluminous reports by every
mail. There has been an occasional in
terruption Of the cable service, but not
more frequent that before the war.
AS rule cablegrams have been re-
sceiyed on the same day or the day fol-
lowing that upon which they were
sent, and there has been no intimation
from either Mr.. Hollis or Mr.. Hay of
trouble in that respect at Pretoria
The secretary Of state has informed
the congressional committee that he
desires prompt and full investigation
of the charges made by Mr.. Macrum on
this subject, and says that if Mr..
Macrum's mails were tempered with
his neglect to report the matter is the
grayest violation of the regulations
and discipline of the consular service
that has occurred for many years.

THE PORTO RICAN TARIFF.

An analysis of the proposed Porto
Rican tariff, made by the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Trib-
une, shows that it will be vastly more
advantageous to Porto Rico as well as
to the United STATES than that which
formerly existed in the island. Under
the old tariff, imports of flour from
the United States were required to pay
$3.50 per one hundred pounds duty,
for the sake of increasing the profits
of the Spanish millers who furnished
The islands supply, while persons en-
gagged in the import trade in the ISL
and had to pay from 1920 to $1,75o in
license fees, thus making tax vastly
greater than the very low import
duty proposed by the pending bill. COT
fee shipped to Spain, according to this
statement, had to pay a. duty Of $50
per hundred pounds, while the United
States, under the new tariff, proposes
to admit it free. Sugar had to pay a
duty of 1924 per hundred pounds,
which is more than twice which the
United States proposes to exact. To-
bacco and wood, the other important
products of the island, had also to pay
an export duty to get out of the isl
and, and an import duty to get into
the Spanish market; and, in addition
to this, Spain appropriated at least 40
per cent Of the duties collected for her
own peninsular uses, whereas the new
tariff proposes to devote every cent,
including the duties on Porto Riean
goods coming thru the United States
custom houses to the interests and
benefits Of Porto Rico.
