SAYS ISLAND WAR IS FUTILE

Chicago, Nov 20.-According to a
letter received by a Chicagoan from a
high army official stationed in Cebu,
capital of the island of Cebu, Philip
pine islands, persuasion has failed as
a method of pacifying the Filipinos,
and now the United States soldiers are
waging war in it's bitterest form to
force the natives of the islands to sub
NIT
The letter, dated Sept 20, is in part
as follows:
up to the present time persuasion
has been the principal method of paci-
fication used here, but it has proven
futile to reach some of the most OBJ
stinate, and now war in all it's bitter
ness is being waged against them.
Houses and provisions are being
burned, towns wiped out in smoke,
families left homeless and without
food and the island of Cebu is being
devastated Hard as this seems, it
appears to be the only way Of bringing
these people to their senses. Armed

continual confinement and hard fare
but she expresses herself as still con-
fident of ultimate release. Letters to
Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the

the brigands will hold out for a figure
very much above the sym at Dickin-
sons command. The brigands inter
pref Dickinson's not having fixed on
the sum he is willing to pay and on
the time of his limit are indications
that he can get more money. They
also demand immunity from prosecu
tion But it is impossible for the dip
lomatic agent of the United States
here to have power to bind the gov
ernments of Bulgaria and Turkey
This point, however, is not likely to 6e
a serious obstacle in the way of nego
tiatiOns.

Among Speakers.

New York, Nov. 20-The one hun
dred and thirty-third annual banquet
of the chamber of commerce was held
last evening, covers for $50 being
laid. At the table of honor, presided
over by President Morris K. Jesup,
were Ambassador Joseph H. ChOate,
John Hay, secretary of state, Senator
John N. McLaurin of South Carolina,

combats are few, for the reason that
their forces are divided into small
bands that assemble and disband as
the circumstances dictate; one day
amigo, the next 'insurrecto.'
To-day word has been received OF

islands. A company (ninety-eight

fast, and of the entire number only
eleven have been heard from at this
writing 1t is believed the remainder
have all been killed. This occurred
on the island of Samar, one Of this
group, and where General Hughes had
campaigned for two months before
coming here What makes this the
more depressing is the fact that Gen

it be seen or hardly conjectured. Years

the British national anthem was
played. In introducing Secretary Hay
President Jesup proposed the toast to
Our Diplomacy.
After an eloquent tribute to the
memory of President Mckinley, Sec
rotary Hay entered upon the subject of
diplomacy. The time when diplomacy
was the science of intrigue and false
hoods, traps and mines and counter
mines he said had passed away. In
our later diplomacy we have told
squarely what we wanted and what we
were willing to give and allowed the
other side to accept or reject. And
we have been met with the same
spirit of frankness. "The briefest ex-
preston of our rule of conduct is, per-
maps, the Monroe doctrine and the
golden rule. With this simple chart
we can hardly go far wrong" said Mr.
Hay
81 think I may say our sister repub-
lies south of us are perfectly con-
WINGED of the sincerity of our attitude.
We no more want their territory than
we covet the mountains of the moon.
Next in order will come the Pacific
cable and the isthmian canal for the
use of all we'll disposed peoples, but
under exclusive American ownership
and American control of both of which
great enterprises President Mckinley
and President Roosevelt have been the
nergetic and consistent champions.
After he concluded Secretary Hay was
obliged several times to acknowledge
applause accorded him by the diners.
Governor ODell spoke to the toast
State of New York and Mayor-Elect
Low replied to the toast City of New
York Joseph H. Choate, ambassador
to the" court of st. James, was intro
duced and he was followed by Senator
McLaurin, who spoke to the toast Mon
roe Doctrine of the Twentieth Century.
Governor-Elect Cummins followed Sen
ator McLaurin.

FIGHT RECIPROCITY
LEAGUE OF AMERICAN PROOU-
GERS TO DECLARE WAR.
FAVoRlNG SUGAR TRUST
Says Our Domestic, Agricultural and
Protest to Convention in Washing
ton This Week-War With Spain
Has Changed Conditions.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Members of the
League of Domestic Producers, which
represents more that 100000 farmers
clare war against the national reci-
procity convention on the grounds
that the latter organization is acting
In the interest of the sugar refiners'
trust.
The trouble promised by the league
will begin this week when the conven-
ton meeth in Washington. Farmers,
taborers and capitalists engaged in
the industries which seem to be
threatened are already becoming
aroused over the condition of affairs.
The officers Of the league represent
the producers of beet and cane sugar,
tobacco and cigars, fruits, vegetables,
rice and nuts, wool, etc.
Herbert Myrick, chairman of the
league, says:
international politics and condi-
tons growing out of the Spanish war
have created new phases Of econom-
les that many people don't as yet un-
derstand. The last congress under
stood the situation, however, and in
the Porto Rican case refused to estab-
| lish a precedent that would help to
sacrifice our domestic agricultural and
labor interest for the benefit of the
sugar trust and other republics OF
great, tropical interests.
Cup to this tins Europe has been a
great and increasing consumer OF
| American agricultural products-in
fact, with England, the continent takes
one nine-tenths of our exports of farm
products, which go very largely to
| Germany.
"Now, Germany has led off the
movement to exclude American meats
and grains, the rest of Europe gradu-
ally is following her example. Every
possible subterfuge is being exerted
to keep our agricultural shipments
out of it's markets.
'"The sugar trust is the arch con-
spirator, with a number Of others fol
| lowing in it's trail. The sugar trust
seeks to complete it's monopoly by
hav ingraw suga radmitted free to it's
refineries. The whole scheme of the
sugar trust and it's allies is to main
tain duties on manufacturers i'm
ported into this country and to get
reciprocal concession at the farmers
expense"

meet TO URGE RECIPROCITY

States and the necessity for wider
markets. The object of the conven-
tior, he said, was not to open old
questions. 1t was to take up the new
proposition of reciprocity. In the
older countries commercial bodies had
the ear of the government. 1t would
be wise if they were given due COP
sideration in this country.
Theodore G. Search of Philadelphia
was elected permanent president of
the convention.
At the night session, devoted to the
subject of reciprocity with the pan
American countries, the delegates had
a difficult time avoiding making
straight-out high tariff speeches, while
striving to confine themselves to a
discussion of reciprocal relations.
