Lieutenant Flaherty Says the Island
Is Pacified.
New York, Oct. l8.-Lieutenant
Edward Flaherty. who has recently
been honorably discharged from thu
army after recovering from illness con.
tracted with the Twenty seventh infan.
try in the Philippines, believes that
the Island OF Luzon has been thorough.
ly pacified.
''There are no Flipinos fighting
against the United States now," said
he last night, ''save struggling bands
of robbers or ladrones. They are still
thick in several provinces, and were
noticeably numerous in the province OF
Morong until the Nv enty.seventh in.
fantry drove them out in a campaign
ending with the battle of Tamay last
January.
"All the Filipinos, except the Taga.
los, are in favor of American suprem.
acy. Some of the Filipinos have &C.
tually turned their arms against the
ladlones and killed some OF them. 1t
is feasible to supplant large number
of soldiers there with natives enlisted
in the American service, and it ought
to be done to spare our men. The la.
drones obey to q large extent the orders
of Aguinaldo, though their bands are
widely spread"
Lieutenant Flaherty said that Pri.
vate Glasen, of the First Nebraska vol.
unteers, was the first American to fire
on the Filipinos.
"He did not fire until he had been
fired upon," said the lieutenant, land
then he killed Filipino lieutenant
and sergeant with one shot out OF a
Springfield rifle. The Filipinos began
hOstilities."

ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA.
About to Break Away From
Concert of the Powers.
HER INTERESTS FULLY SECURED
Not willing to Follow the 1rrecOns
cilabie Attitude Of Some Of
the Governments.

81. Petersburg, Oct. 18.-The Rus
sian government permits it to become
known that its attitude in China will
be increasing independence of the con.
cert of the powers. Russia. it Is ex-
planned, is disposed to attach less value
to joint action since her interests have
been fully secured by the successful
campaign in Manchuria. Moreover,
Russia is not willing to "follow the
irreconcilable policy of some OF the
powers" The expectation, the publi'
cation adds. is that the Chinese gov.
eminent is about to utilize all its re-
sources OF duplicity to keep the powers
occupied with vain negotiations and
proposals and the dispatching of notes
in order to gain time until the winter,
counting on the riaor of the climate to
prevent military operations and allow
China to prepare her resources for q
spring campaign.

No Surprise in Washington.

ing that Russia's attitude in China

officials here. 1t was noted when the
aggressive military movement was De-
gun by Germany and the expedition
against Pao Ting Flu started, that Rus
STA was among the powers which did
not join in the movement. The dis.
patch from St. Petersburg is looked on
as merely another step. Moreover, 1t
is regarded as quite in consonance with
the pacific tendencies Of the govern
ment, which have been directed all
along to securing settlement by diplo.
matte means rather than by the sword.

We have reached the conclusion that
heavy blanket on an anclipped horse 10
the stable Is detrimental TO bis health.
Observation and experiment have con-
vinced as that the unblanketed horse 10
the winter 10 the healthiest and most
comfortable. The best possible condi-
ton for q horse TO take cold 10 when he
comes out of the stable where be has
been standing blanketed. The cold air
viii strike like knife into every part or
his body. A heated horse should not be
blanketed when be goes into the stable.
A horse with long hair will remain vet
all night under q blanket. II the stable
"a warm and free from draught the horse
will be much better of without any COW
ering whatever. Nature provides COW
ering ample TO protect the unciipped
horse Ia this climate In the winter. IL
more had been needed more would have
been provided. We are NOS speaking
idly. For some years We have carefully
noted the effect Of cold upon blanketed
and unblanketed horses. Seven years
ago we discarded the blanket, and the
rssult has been entirely satisfactory.
No man 10 his senses would think OF
wrapping himself up In warm house
and removing the wraps when be went
out.
All this refers to uuclipped horses.
A man who would leave clipped horse
unblanketed In the winter should be ar
rested and sent 70 jail. And this brings
as TO remark that horses whose work
causes them to perspire freely In cold
weather are better for being clipped.
