JUST AS PREDICTED.

War news from the Philippines has
almost faded out A year ago much
space was devoted daily to reporta OF
skirmishing and ambuscadcs. Now
the news relates to the surrender of
struggling bands aud OF the taking OF
the oath of allegiance by thousands.
This result is due TO the national
election OF 1900 The success OF the
party pledged to the paciilcation AMI
retention OF the Islands destroyed the
main hope of the Tagal hostilos and
they have practically acknowledged
their failure. Thcir plot was TO OK
pei the United States from the aichi.
pelago by force. and In this consp.c-
acy they had the aid of the managers
Of the Democratic party. All the
printed literature of the Tagals te.
ferred to the hopeful assistance ot
their friend, tho great Mr.. Bryan
and encouraged continued resistance
In view OF the coming election.
As soon as the result of the Novcm-
ber contest had time To circulate In
the Philippines the war news from
that quarter began to dwindlc. and
now scarcely a trace remains. In
tie Republican national platform OF
1900 Il is declared that no other
course was possible than to destroy

narrow escape from serious acci-

near Woolery's place. Both horses
were compelled to swim quite dis

were thoroughly drenched before they
reached the opposite shore.

fect San Juan county, and which at
