an American citizen I claim the right to
domy own thinking and to cast my ballot
for the right as. l conceive it to be. I

on all questions thought that ], too, be-

Of money which should be coined and

is specified in the Bill of Rights but is
a question of e~xpediency. The gold stand

If it proves to be the best for us, well
and good. If not, our only appeal is to
the people. I consider that question set
tied for the time being.
lit therefore becomes me, as an Amer
lean citizen, to put my vote where I
think, all things considered, it will do the
most good. I shall therefore support the
party of emancipation and progress.

Of Our Filipino Allies.

ton Ordering the determination Of
All Foreigners and Filipinos
Started Fires.

Were any confirmation needed that the
Aguinaldo party intended the massacre
of all non-Filipinos in Manila and to burr
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 te
the wild statements Of Senators Petit
grew and Allen he says in a signed com
munication:
er's speech in relation to thessuppressior
of the Philippine Instruction, 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. 1 was
then in command Of the district south Of
the Pasig river, and found the proclama
ton posted in conspicuous places in m,
part of the city. I had them torn dowr
and one translated. They were signed
by Sandico.
Il had received letters from him ant
knew his signature. Moreover, soldier.
of my command arrested two Filipino
men in women's clothes setting fire to thu
houses in the city. They were brough
to me and 1 had them turned over to tn,
provost marshal general.
Senator Allen also asserted that Senol
Torres came into the city under a flag O.
truce to ask for a suspension of hostili
ties. AS I know that Torres was within
our lines when the fighting began it is no
apparent how he came in, when it seem,
almost impossible for him to have gottel
out. On the 9th of February white flag.
were hung out from every Filipino hous,
in Manila, and the few Filipinos Wit
ventured into the streets carried littl,
white flags as an evidence of submission
Senator Aliens reliable informant seem.
to have forgotten to mention this circum
stance in saying that he saw Torres goin,
to headquarters under a flag Of truce
Torres naturally inferred, without con
sultation, that A~guinaldo would like
suspension Of hostilities, for in front O
our first division alone the insurgents hat
lost in one day 700 killed and drowned
400 prisoners and seven cannon.
II send this communication to correct
so far as my testimony is relevant, a yer,
erroneous impression.

LIDO not believe that the Southern Dor

Union in 1851 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 a theory" entwined with
beautiful and patriotic sentiments. Slav.

see, Georgia and 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 a corduroy road of them, because
the anti-imperialists Of Indiana said they
would.
Our next hope after we got mixed IN
together was that England and France
would help us for commercial reasons.
Vallandigham, Stevenson and a thousand
other Copperheads like the good brethren
who held up Joshua's arms, held ours I'D
by encouraging us to hold out a little
longer, by ~denouncing the war a "fail-

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 crowd. Every old
soldier, North and South, understands
the force Of moral support. Our war
would not have lasted three months but

PYTHIAN BAZAAR DELAYED.
The committee on arrangements for
the Pythian bazaar has determined to
change the date for opening the festlv-
tiles until Monday night. May %. The
change was made necessary by reason
of the fact that the worknen found it
impossible to complete the interior
work of the castle in time for the open
ing Monday night.
The work of decorating the large au-
ditorium will be commenced carly next
week, and from present indications
everything points to the bazaar proving
the most elaborate social function ever
held in Hampton.
WHERE IS MISS ELLIS?
Miss Mollie Ellis, the young woman
who charged George Calm with having
attempted to assault her near the bou-
levard last Saturday afternoon has dis
appeared.
On Tuesday she came to Hampton
and gave damaging testimony against
Calm. When she returned to her home
in Newport News 1T was understood
That she would again return to Hamp-
ton Wednesday for the purpose OF APP
pearing before the grand jury, which
mad been summoned to investigate Ga
Inns alleged heinous crime. When the
grand jury met Wednesday she failed
to appear. although the other witnesses
subpoenaed at her request were present
ready TO assist in the conviction OF Ga
lin. commemorative Attorney Monta-
que was Il little suspicious of her con-
duct, but believed something might
have occurred to prevent her early ar
rival. He determined to pass the case
by until later in the afternoon. He felt
confident Miss Ellis would keep her
word. and had 1t not been for the inter-
ference of Mr. Il. S. Robinson. Galin's
counsel. Miss Ellis wherea bouts would
be a still deeper mystery.
When MIR. Robinson reached Hamp-
ton in the afternoon he informed Com
monwealth's Attorney Montague that
Miss Ellis had gone to Philadelphia and
would not appear against Calm. Mr.
Robinson then asked for Galin's release.
but this commemorative Attorney T..
j.. Montague positively declined to
grant. saying that Calm would have to
remain behind the bars until he had
worn out every effort in trying to locate
Miss Ellis.
commemorative Attorney Montague
says that unless Miss Ellis returns and
appears before the grand jury he will
certainly make strenuous efforts TO
have her indicted for perjury, and if To-
Gated. brought back to Hampton to
stand trial.
