PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS
Still Being Formed by the Philippine
Commission

Guiguinte. Bulacan Proince, P. l.,
February 26.-The United States Phil
ippine commission has arrived here
from Manila and has organized a pro-
vincial government for this province,
which, until recently. was controlled by
the insurgents. Colonel Morels is op-
Grating with his band of three hun
dred men in a portion Of the province.
Nevertheless. sentiments of peace and
satisfaction with American sovereignty
appear to be as prevalent here as in the
provinces in which governments have
previously been organized. The party
arrived here IN army wagons n ma
tive carts. and were driven to the mil
btary headquarters. AS many natives
as could be crowded into the hall were
present. The president Of the town
welcomed the commissioners. declaring
that the peOple Of the province. which
had been watered with the blood of
Americans and FflIpinos earnestly
hoped for the obliteration of the marks
Of war n for the establishment of a
peaceful government guaranteeing
personal liberty.
There was a big meeting this after
veloped into a contest between Bula-
can and Malolos over b location Of
the capital.
All the towns were represented, X
cepting Santa Isabel. which is the in
surgent center. The arguments on the
tax and salary questions indicated that
Bulacan is fertile. and that the live
stock has been decimated. Labor is
scarce. On account Of the i~nsurrection,
and gambling was asserted TO be the
curse of the province.
Judge Taft stated that the enforce
ment Of the Spanish anti-gambling
laws depends largely on the people. He
assured the delegates that the vast
tracts in Bulacan belonging to the
friars would not escape taxation.
A banquet and a dance were given
tonight.
The next province to be organized is
Bataan, which Will complete the or
ganization Of governments In General
Grants district.

GOMEZ on SITUATION IN CUBA
Island Not Ready for Withdrawal of
Our Troops or Independence

Havana. February 26.-General Go
mez visited Governor General Wood this
morning Il assured hin that the
stories of unrest n dissatisfaction at
the continuance Of the United States
Intervention were false, and that ne had
beer misrepresented in statements ID
he effect that he favored an immediate
withdrawal of the United States troops,
and giving Cuba absolute independence.
If they withdrew now he feared blood
shed, beyond doubt. Within sixty days
the Cuoans would be fighting among
themselves. General Gomez added: "If
the Americans were TO Withdraw, today .
wUuio go with them"
enc Gomez said ne recognized the
Iact that the United States was respon-
sIple for the establishment of a stable
government in Cuba and could not
until such action was brought
about. The work OF handing over the
reins of government to the new repub-
Tic was an undertaking involving much
time and labor ana a large amount Of
study and experience on the part OF the
CubanS in the work Of self-gcvern-
ment

control of the municipalities was not
working in the interest of the island.
The officials were inexperienced AID
uou4u not be given a free hand. IT
would mean the destruction and ruin
of the sland.
General Gomez said the greatest diff
hcuIty experienced was in getting the
conservative element interested in
municipal, governments. His purpose
was to bring the best clement TO tbs
front. The coming municipal elections
would pave the way for the elections
TO be held under the electoral law be-
ing drawn I'D by the convention.
General Gomez had no objection tc
the oa.lne of the future relations be-
tween the United state and Cuba as
recommended by tho United States sen
ate. He thought, however, that 1t would
be better for the United States to lease
land for naval stations, instead of pur.
| chasing outright.

5000 FOR $1.oo.
AProfitabie investment.

Jno. Blakely Of w. Lebanon, Pa. re-
ports that he got more talue from $l.00
worth of Grape-Nuts food than from
$500 spent in noted hospitals, trying to
get well from stomach trouble. He says:
after all my experience, 1 had to come
home thinking thereiwas no cure for me.
1 was SO weak and nervous 1 could hard
ly walk, and fer three years l hadn't a
good nights sleep. Twas run down until
I only weighed i2O pounds.
Il commenced using Grape-Nuts about
a year ago and now Il weigh 1913 pounds
and can do as. good a days work as any
one. When go to bed I sleep all night

ing. 1 use Grape-Nuts food every day
and know it is the greatest blessing that
ever was sent to suffering humanity 1
believe if it had not been for this food I
would have been under the sod before
this" There is a reason. No food in
existence contains, in a concentrated
form, the elements that will rebuild the
nerve centers and the brain, as Grape
Nuts, and the beauty Of the food is that
it is perfectly cooked at the factory and
by the process of manufacture is pre-
digested in a natural way, therefore re-
quires but trifiing power Of the stomach
to digest it.
