Manila, December 3.-Sunday In Vigan
was great day for the American cause
Twenty-Five hundred natives Of the rs-
gion, nearly all fighting .rsbels, crowded
the church and took the oath Of allegiance
to the United States. The oath was ad-
ministered by the priest. All but 800 oil
thoss sworn were Bolomen. The number
included the 1900 Bolomen who had
previously surrendered.
The proceedings at the church occu-
pied the entire day and included an I'D
dress by General Moung and an exhorta-
tion by the priest. Scarcely any rebels
remain in the Vicinity of Santa Maria.
General Yolng attributes this fact to
three things the reelection OF President
Mckinley, the arrival of a stronger body
of troops and the especially rigid en-
foruement OF war measures and the de-
portaiion of prisoners to Manila
He reports that It Is necessary to oo'

DR.. Conan Doyle, who has gone
to the seat of war to write another
story sin Scaflet,' is about right in
regard to Dom Paul. He says the
British people should be grateful to
him. and entomb him under monu-
ment as large and grand as st.
Paul's, which should bear the in
scrtption, "Here lies the man who
federated the British Empire" As
the doctor says many have tried to
do this and have failed, but Presi-
dent Krueger has succeeded. Score
one for Shylock Holmes.
In the capture of Osman Digna,
the British have under control one
of their bravest and bitterest ene-
mics. Osman Digna's name is George
Nisbet He is Frenchman by birth
and descent and was born on the
banks of the Seine in 1885, His
mother, after becoming widow,
married an Egyptian merchant and
slave dealer who adopted George,
and on his death left him his large
fortune. Osman received thorough
military education at Cairo under
British, German and French officers.

The Board of Health repc rts that
a Chinese infant taken from one of
the three cottages standing on the
seaside of the extension of Kukui
street week or more ago, just be-
fore TIE cottages were burned, has
succumbed to the plague. OF
course no one can contradict this
statement. However, if this death
is put forward as justification for
burning these cottages thinking
person can only feel sorry that a
better reason is not forthcoming.
Surely if case of plague developes
in person seven or eight days after
being removed from an uuinfected
cottage, there is certainly room for
doubt as to when and where such
person became infected. If it was
a proper precaution to burn the
cottage Immediately after removing
the person, seven days before the
plague developed, why, following
the same reasoning, should not other
cottages just across the street have
been burned. Why burn the three
cottages, from only one of which
has been taken, in perfect health, a
person who dies eight days after OF
plague? II the Board Of Health
acted consistently our whole city
would soon be as Chinatown is. The
burning of the three cottages may
be best explained by calling atten-
tion to O remark made by person
very near to Mr.. Dole, who said:
"The persons 10 charge OF the city
just now intend to lay out new
district from Kukui street to the
harbor." The intention may be a
good one; but why not give it as a
reason for the destruction of build.
ings, rather than give the impression
to persons in that neighborhood
that infection is lurking near them.

We wonder whether President
Dole will extend an invitation to
President Mckinley and Admiral
Dewey to visit their recently acquired

case?
