The Sunday papers startled the
American people by giving the unex-
pected news that 1000 Filipinos were
killed and wounded during the past
week. The war in the Philippines,
then, is not at an end, as people were
led to suppose. If this report is true,
the slaughtering Of the liberty-loving
Malays by McKinley's mercenaries is
one of the biggest crimes of the CEN
fury. And the man who is responsible
for the holocaust attended the interna-
tional conference of foreign missiona-
ries on the day the appalling news ar
rived and spoke of God, Christianity
and civilization as if the blood of muir
dered Filipinos was not resting on his
guilty head. How long, O Lord, how
long, shall this bloody and inhuman
war continue in the name of the Ameri-
can republic?

and that one year ago he had 26s off :

that inestlmable benefit has come to
therace. Among the officers are to be
found many of the brightest minds OF
the race. Fully 80 per cent. of those
in authority oome from the best known
and most influential families In the

Then he wandered down On Utah
