No lonuer Needed.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 19.-Gov.
ernor Durbin has received long let.
ter from Secretary Root, in which a
full explanation is made of the facts
connected with the discharge of Rus
sell B. Harrison from the army. Sec
retary Root says that he, after con-
ference with the president, directed
the discharge of Colonel Harrison, and
that Adjutant General Corbin simply
acted in his official capacity in issuing
the orders. BY inadvertence the dis
charge was made to take effect De-
cember 1, instead of December Is. a
natter which the secretary regrets.
Mr.. Harrison's services were dis
pensed with, the secretary states, be-
cause they were no longer needed, and
for no other reason.

AsuinaldO's Address to the FL.
ipino People.
SAYS THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH WAR
Urges His Countymsn to Accept the Sow.
srsisnty Of the United States % the
Best Tor Their Country.

Manila, April o. Following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people, made public this evening:
"I believe that am not in error in
presuming that the unhappy fate to
which my avderse fortune has led me
is not a surprise to those who have
been familiar with the progress OF the
war. The lessons taught with full
meaning, and which have recently
come to my knowledge, suggest with
irresistible force that complete ter
minatoin of hostilities and lasting
peace are not only desirable, but alb
solutely 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 the fortitude and cour-
age. The time has come, however,
in which they find their advance
along this path to be impeded by an
irresistible force which, while it re-
strains them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens to them the cause OF
peace. This cause has been joyfully
embraced by the majority of my fel-
low 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
Filipino people will attain all those
promised liberties which they are be-
ginning to enjoy.
"The country has declared unmis-
takably in favor of peace. So be it.
There has been enough blood, enough
tears, and enough desolation. This
wish cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by
q desire to serve our noble people,
which has thus clearly manifested its
will. So do / respect this will, now
that it is known to me.
CATER mature deliberation, / resO-
lutely proclaim to the world that ]
cannot refuse to heed the voice of
people longing for peace, nor the la.
mentations of thousands OF families
yearning to see their dear ones enjoy.
ing the liberty and the promised gen.
erosity of the great American nation.

te sovereignty of the United States
throughout the Philippine archipel.
ago, as now do, and without any
reservation whatsoever, believe that
1 am serving thee, my beloved coun.
try. Nav happiness be thine"

Gomez Coming to America.

Havana, April 22.-General Max.
imo Gomez is making arrangements
to go to the United States. He will
be accompanied by his son Urbona,
and will probably remain in the
United States until the return to
Cuba of the special committee on re-
lations. He desires to wait definite
action in reference to the Platt
amendment, in order to avoid the
accusation that the trip is made for
POLITICAL purposes. He has always
expressed desire to meet the peo-
pie of the United States and to thank
them for the assistance they rendered
Cuba in the war with Spain. Senior
Palma is the choice of General Gomez
for the presidency of Cuba.

Old soldiers who wish to take up
homesteads upon the opening of the
Indian reservation in Oklahoma will
do well, in the opinion of the land
office officials, to file their own claims
and attend to all the business them
selves rather than trust their interests
to agents. 1t is reported in Wash
ington that agents are going about
making contracts with veterans to
represent them and file their claims,
and are charging fee in advance and
second to be paid after filing the
claim; but an agent can serve only
one client properly, unless he calls
into service large force of assistants,
which they cannot afford to do for
the small fees charged. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that it will be much
better for everybody to look out for
himself.

PLAGUE IN AUSTRALIA.
Appears in the Insane AsyIum-Car.
ried by Rats.


VANCOUVER, B. c., April 20.-Bu'
bonic plague has broken out in an
Australian insane asylum. The steam.
er Aorangi, from Sydney, brings news
of fresh outbreaks of plague at Bris.
bane and Perth. The serious phase
is the appearance of the bubonic
plague in the Dunwich insane asylum
where there are 1000 inmates. Nearly
all the inmates are said to-be aged or
incurable, so the outbreak has aroused
the gravest apprehension. Dunwick
is on Stradbrook island, and is the asy,
lum for the entire state. The at
ficted patients have been isolated. The
carrying of the plague to the asylum
is ascribed to rats and to destroy in
fected vermin all sewers in the Aus.
tralian cities are being fumigated, with
lue result that thousands OF dead rats
have been washed out.

The secretary of war has called for
bids from private steamship COM
panies for furnishing transportation
for the government between New
York, Cuba and Porto Rico. The
idea is to see whether it is more eco
nomical to patronize them than to
continue the present transport service,
which is expensive. The dock charges
alone amount to $500, 600 year.
During the last three months 1875
passengers and 5,726 tons of cargo
were carried by the transports, and
the quartermaster' s department knows
the exact cost, which has been very
large, single voyage costing from
$12, 600 to SIS, 600. Bids are invited
for the next three months upon the
basis of the passengers and freight
carried during the last three months.

PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN.
4 Number of Chinese AphorismS That
Have Reference to the
Fair Sex.

There is much of philosophy in the
subjoned sayings found in Chinese
literature and having relation to
women:
Respect always silent woman;
great is the wisdom of the woman
that holdeth her tongue.
A vain woman is to be feared. for
she will sacrifice all for her pride
Trust not vain woman, for she is
first in her own eye.
\ naughty woman stumbles, for
she cannot see what may be in her
way.
Trust not the woman that thinketh
more Of herself than another; mercy
will not dwell in her heart.
The gods honor her who thinketh
long before opening her Lips. Pearls
come from her mouth.
A woman that is not loved is kite
from which the string has been
taken; she drives with every wind
and cometh to naught by long fall.
A woman and child are alike; each
needs strong. uplifting hand.
A woman that respects herself is
more beautiful than a single star;
more beautiful than many stars at
night.
Woman is the ease for that which
pains the father; she is balm for his
troubles.
\ woman who mistakes her place
can never return to where she first
was; the path has been covered up
from her eyes.
4 woman desirous OF being seen by
men is not trustworthy; fear the
glance from her eye.
Give heed to her to whom children
have come: she walks in the sacred
ways and lacks not love.
When first woman loves she fears;
she fears not that to which she has
become accustomed.
\ mother not spoken well of by
her children is an enemy of the state; {;
she should not live within the king
dom's wall.
