Hancock, when asked about condi-
tions in the Philippines, replied:
Il saw Aguinaldo and spent half a
day with him. He is not an intelli-
gent man, and 1 think feels that he
is inferior in intellect to the Ameri-
cans. He seemed to me not clever,
but cunning. The general opinion
among the military men is that Agui-
naldo should be allowed to escape.
He is dead issue and is no longer
menace to the United States. It
is supposed that he does not want to
run away, as he would at once be as
sassinated by the friends of General
Luna, whom he ordered to be killed.
"The new method of educating the
natives as adopted by this govern
ment is wrong. Refined, handsome
young ladies from Vassar and other
colleges went down to the Philippines
to educate these natives. They have
had to put up with all kinds OF priva-
tions and to eat native food, and in
some places their lives have been in
danger. / think this is entirely unnec-
essary. In place of these young Ia
dies discharged soldiers of education
who had become acclimated should be
appointed and the young ladies should
be sent home

possible and deserted his business and
family. He returned 70 the funeral Of
MS wife, was arrested for fraud, but
could not be convicted.
Freeland went to Germany Springs
to get cured of rheumatism. In Eu-
rope he changed his name to Foster.
Returning on a transatlantic liner
he met Mr.. Wicker and daughter. Be-
fore arriving in New York the young
woman had promised to marry him
Immediately. The father consented.
but the brother of the girl protested
without effect, and the marriage took
place several days afterwards.
The brother charged Foster with be-
ing an tmpostor, He seoufeG his

wPain in the head and back y is form
of suffering with which so many women
are familiar. Often this pain is asso-
ciated with nervousness, sleeplessness
and loss of appetite. The cause of such
suffering is generally to be traced to
arrangement of the womanly function,
or a diseased condition of the delicate
wornan1y organs.
In such cases the action of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is marvellous in
the prompt relief of painSSnd permanent
cure of disease. It regulates the peri
odic function, dries disagreeable drains,
heals Inflammation and liberation, and
cures female weakness. It cures when
all other means have been tried in vain.
Sick women are invited to consult DR..
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as strictly private and
sacred1y confidential. Address DR.. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In little over thirty years DR.. Pierce,
assisted by his staff of nearly a score of
physicians, has cured more than half
million women.

tored all the time with a number of different

cHAFFEE CLOSES PORTS
To Prevent Supplies Reaching the In
suruent EiIininos

~ TICNSHt supplies nSdCnln9 Ine IN
surgent Filipinos.
Manila, Dec. General Chaffee has
issued orders for the closing of all
ports in the Laguna and Batangas
provinces. The quartermasters there
will cease paying rents to the Fill
pinos for buildings used for military
purposes, as it is known that large
proportion of the money finds its way
to the insurgents in the shape of con-
tributions, and General Chaffee in
tends that no more government funds
shall find their way into the hands
of the enemy. The reason for closing
the ports is that too many supplies
are found to be getting into the pos
session Of the insurgents.
General Chaffee intends giving Bell,
commanding the troops in the Batan-
gas province, every assistance he may
require to subdue the insurrection.
Governor Taft is improving rapidly
and now expects to return to the Unit
ed States on the government trans

Amsterdam, Dec. 5.-Semf-off1cial
intimations have been circulated to
the effect that Queen Wilhelmina has
forgiven her husband, Prince Henry
of The Netherlands, the suggestion
being that the public ought to follow
suit.
Since Prince Henry returned to Het
Loo the queen and her husband have
been dining together and gradually re-
suming normal relations. Yesterday
they walked together and afterwards
drove in the castle park. The relations
between Prince Henry and the mem.
bers of the court are, however, strain.
ed. The former cordiality has been
replaced by an attitude of frigid po-
likeness on the part of the prince con-
sort and apparently the gentlemen of
the court are equally indisposed to
gloss over recent occurrences.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.-The twenty
first convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor was called to order

tion is held in st. Thomas college
hall and delegates marched to the
meeting place in body, preceded by
a band of music
The executive council has been in
session for several days transacting
routine business, hearing complaints
and arranging to receive resolutions.
The credentials committee has sew
eral complaints to consider. Chief
among these protests is that of the
United Hatters of North America
against the seating of Gabriel Joseph,
cigarmaker, the delegate sent by the
United Labor league of Philadelphia
Protests have been filed against the
representative of the Richmond Cen.
trail Labor union by some of the ne
gro delegates, who assert that that
organization has Disseminated against
negro working people by refusing to
admit the negro trade unions to mem
bership. A protest has also been filed
against seating the representative of
the Chicago Central Labor union.
The convention will be asked to
take action on many disputes between
trades that are affiliated with the fed
Grafton. The International Associa-
ton of Machinists has demanded that

trical workers will dispute the right

form mixed unions under their own
control where the workers in other
trades are employed The delibera-
tions of the gathering are secret and
the delegates may be here ten days.
In the hall the band played Dixie"

Washington, Dec. 5.-Members of
the house of representatives are show
ing some opposition to the origina-

to Senator Lodges bill which deals
with this subject. Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, holds that the
senate bill is an invasion of the rights
of the house. Mr.. Overstreet, of IN
diana, and other influential members
maintain that the senate Philippines
bill involves no disregard of house
rights, as it extends an existing law
to the Philippines and is not a reve-
nue. measure within the meaning of
the constitution.
