u Hung Chang Censured.

London, April 25. - A dispatch
from Pekin says that Ii Hung Chang
has been censured severely in spe-
cial cdict because, after the French
and Chinese had agreed upon bound
aries, the Germans, who have no con-
Germ with this matter, marched west
and threatened the Chinese. The
edict, it is said, orders Ii Hung
Chang to prevent the expedition, and
says that if he fails, the responsible
ity for the consequence will rest ON
him. The emperor, in the edict, says
that Viceroys Liu Kun vi and Chang
Chin Tung were appointed joint nego-
tiators with Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching, but that Ii Hung
Chang spurns their opinions. Here
after, it is added, Ii Hung Chang
must consult with them on all i'm

The first signs of disturbance were

occasional rains of cinders, sometimes

do has been removed from his prison
in Malacanan palace and is in much
more comfortable quarters, where he
was visited by a press representative.
His wife was with him.
He was rather reluctant to talk for
publication and considered every ques-
ton before answering. He said he
was doing all he could to assist in the
qualification of the Filipinos and en-
pressed himself us surprised at what
the Americans had accomplished.
When he was first captured, he went
on to say, he was greatly astonished
to find that majority ofthe Filipinos
entertained the opinion that Ameri.
can sovereignty was preferable 70 in
dependence, but now he wac inclined
to believe that way himself
He explained that since the disso.
luton of the insurgent congress and
the declaration of guerrilla warfare,
the chiefs had operated to all interests
and purposes independently. They
recognized him as commander in
chief, sending him reports occasional
ly and he issued some orders, but for
the last seven months communication
had been difficult and he had been
almost disconnected.
II am now urging in the strongest
possible manner" said Aguinaldo,
that all insurgents should surrender
and swear allegiance to the United
States"
He expresses the opinion that
Tinio, Lusban, Malvar and other rep
resentative insurgents will surrender
as soon as they come to understand
the nature of the amnesty offered
them. He said that he hoped that
when the work of pacifcation was
complete and conditions were settled,
the prisoners in Guam would be
released.
After referring in grateful terms to
the courteous treatment accorded him
by the military authorities, he de-
clared his conviction that the civil
government which would follow pa
cification would realize the highest
hopes of the Filipino people.
When questioned regarding the
hope that he would visit the United
States, he replied that he would like
to do SO, but had made no plans yet,
placing himself entirely at the dis
position of the United States govern
ment. In concluding the interview,
he said:
EVERY word in my address to my
countrymen, the Filipinos, came from
my heart. hope the Americans be-
lieve me thoroughly sincere in my
efforts to secure peace and, under
American auspices, to promote the
welfare and prosperity of the Philip
pines"

Lighter Hor.e. Peter.

Farmers who have watched the ease
with which the large draft horses han
die heavy loads on good roads or city
pavements have been led to think that
heavy horse must be the better AMI
teams that are far inferior in the
amount Of work they can do In blowing
or in drawing a load upon soft ground
than a much lighter team would do
easily Then the heavy horses are
driven over our hilly roads often at n
rate Of speed that causes them to pound
the earth SO that the legs give out. and
they are quickly lame. 1t certainly
requires more food to sustain a 1000
pound horse than one weighing from
1000 to 1.2OO pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate for
the extra cost of maintaining them.
AS farmers will have next spring tn buy
horses or many will we advise them to
turn their attention to the smaller
horses from Canada If they can he

ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE.
The One Great Wish Of the People Of the
Island Of Cuba,

Jacksonville, Fla, April 26.-The
Cuban constitutional commission,
which arrived here last night, left to-
day for Washington. General Rafael
Portuondo, one of the committee, de-
fined Cuba's position as follows
"Ninety-nine per cent of the Cuban
people desire absolute independence.
It's their wish that military occupa-
tion by the United States come to an
end at once. 1t may be said that a
small element of Spaniards, from a
purely commercial motive, favor an
nexation, but the wish for independ-
ence is felt by many Cubans and Span
iards alike. Those Spaniards who
favor annexation are not impelled by
any love for the United States. They
hate Americans, but seem to want
some sort of guaranty as to their prop
erty and business interests. Peace
with the Americans without the indie
pendence OF Cuba is impossible-I
mean moral peace. I do not mean to
say that in the event independence is
not granted war or revolution would
follow, but there would be no sympa-
thy, no friendliness between the peo-
pies, "
