The fire committee of Council held a
meeting last night to consider the pro-
posed purchase of an aerial truck for
the department.
Capt. William Otto reported for the
committee, consisting of himself. Mr..
Brown and Chief Cline who went to
Columbus to inspect the Seagraves and
Babcock trucks. The members OF the
subcommittee were prejudiced against
the Seagraves truck when they de-
parted. and were Of opinion that Mr..
Johnson. the representative of the
company, had exaggerated its merits.
So much was claimed for 1t that they
were dubious. The inspecting commit
tee reported. however, that Mr.. John
son demonstrated with his model truck
at the factory, that the Seagraves truck
does all that is claimed for 1t. Its
great superiority over all existing
trucks lies in its hosting apparatus
which contains patent device that en-
ables one man to hoist the ladders
whereas four were required on other
trucks.
The committee saw the Babcock, in
use In the Columbus department. The
Babcock was raised by four men. and
went up with vibrating movement.
whereas the Seagraves went up stead
lily, with one man operating 1t, and but
thirty seconds were consumed. The
Seagraves people represented that they
are out OF the trust. and have been
fought stubbornly by trust concerns,
superior to anything IN the world, and
have agreed to furnish bond in the
| sum OF $4,000-the cost of the truck
| that 1t will do everything 1t is repre-
sented to do Members Of the commit
tee were also very favorably impressed
with the Seagraves ladders.
Mr.. c. X. Tracy appeared before the
committee as the representative Of the
Chicago Fire Extinguisher Company
and represented that the Babcock Al
! Columbus is an old model. He insisted
| that the committee should go to Pitts
burg and see the latest improved Bah.
cock before making a selection.
| The committee examined the speci
| fications and were under the impress
sion that the hosting device on thu
latest Babcock is the same as is II
| use on the Babcock at Columbus. The,
decided after some discussion, how
ever, to go to Pittsburg to see the new
| Babcock Chief r. d. Cline, and
Messrs Otto. Brown and Myers, Of the
committee, will go up to that city
| Thursday.
When Council meets Wednesday
| night-the meeting having been post
poned until that day on account of the
| circus this evening-that body will be
asked to adopt resolution authorizing
the expenditure for the aerial truck, of
the $4,000 already appropriated for
that purpose.

HIS ADDRESS ISSUED
.Aguinaldo Sends Out Proclama-
tion to the Filipinos.
Tells Them to Submit to the United States,
for the Time Has Como for Peace
Enough Blood. Enough Tears
and Enough DesOlation."

Washington, April 20.-The follow
ing is AguinalGo's address, issued at
Manila to the Filipino people, and
made public yesterday evening:
I believe I am not in error In presum-
ing that the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has led me Is not SUI
prise to those who have been familiar
with the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with q full meaning, and
which have recently come to my knowl-
edge, suggest with irresistible force that
a complete termination Of hostilities and
lasting peace are not only desirable, but
absolutely essential to the welfare OF the
Philippine islands.
The Filipinos have never been dismayed
at their weakness. nor have they faltered
in following the path pointed out by their
fortitude and courage. The time mas
come, however, in which they find their
advance along this path to be impeded
by a. irresistible force which, while II
restraints them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens to them another course.
presenting them the cause of peace. This
cause has been joyfully embraced by the
majority of my fellow-countrymen, who
have already united around the glorious
sovereign banner Of the United States.
In this banner they repose their trust and
belief that under its protection the Fill
pino people will attain all those promised
liberties which they are beginning to en-
Joy. The country has declared unmistak-
ably in favor of peace. So be 1t. There
has been enough blood. enough tears and
enough desolation. This wish cannot be
ignored by the men still In arms II they
are animated by desire to serve our mo-
BILE people. which has thus clearly mani
Tested its will. So do I respect this WILL
now that II is known to me.
After mature elaboration l resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot re-
fuse to heed the voice Of a people longing
for peace or the lamentations OF thou
sands of families yearning to see their
dear ones enjoying the liberty and the
promised generosity Of the great Ameri-
can nation.
BY acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago. as ] now
do and without any reservation what
soever, I believe that am serving thee.
my beloved country. May happiness be
thine.
To signalize this important step in
the modification of the country Gen.
Macarthur ordered the release, on
swearing allegiance to the United
States, of 1000 insurgent prisoners.
