AGUNALDO'S ADDRESS
TEXT OF THE filipino LEAD.
Frs MESSAGE TO HIS
J PEOPLE.
WELFARE OF THE ISLANDS

A Complete Termination of Hostii-
ties Is Absolutely EssentiaI-There
Has Been Enough Blood, Tears and
esolation-Accepts American Sow
ereienty and CounseIs His Country
men to Do the Same.
Manila, April ~20.-The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people:
81 believe l am not in error in pre-
Stunning that the unhappy fate to which
my adverse fortune has led me is not
surprise to those who have been
familiar with the progress of the war.
The lessons taught with full mean
ing and which have recently come to
my knowledge suggest with irresistt-
BILE force that complete termination
of hostilities are not only desirable
but absolutely essential to the well
fare of the Philippine islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by their fortitude and
courage The time has come, how
ever, 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 another
course, presenting them the course of
peace. This cause has been jOyfully
embraced by the majority of my fell
low countrymen, who have already
united around the glorious sovereign
banner of the United States. In this
banner they repose their trust and in
it's protection the Filipino people will
Continue in Those Liberties
which they are beginning to enjoy.
They are Enthusiastically 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 desire to
serve our noble population, which has
| thus clearly manifested it's will. So
| do respect this will, now that 1t is
| known to me.
after mature deliberation | reso-
| lutely proclaim TO the Woflu LndC
cannot refuse to heed the voice of a
| people longing for peace, nor the
| lamentations of thousands of families
yearning to see their dear ones enjoy
| the liberty and the promised gener-
osity of the great American nation.
By acknowledging and accepting the
| sovereignty of the United States
! throughout the Philippine archipelago,
| as | now do and without any reserva-
ton whatsoever, I believe that I am
| serving thee, my beloved country.
! May happiness be thine"

Takes Heavyweight HonOrs.

A full-grown whale weighs 100 tons,
or 224. 600 pounds. This is to say a
whale weighs as much as about so ele-
phants or bears. OF course some run
larger than this There are tales
among old whalers of whales ITO feet
long, and weighing at least $50 tons.
But such are not seen in these days.
A 7O-foot whale is a big one now.
Still, it may give some idea of what
monsters are occasionally killed when

COVERS LANE" NEXT WEEK.
Clyde Fitch's New Play to Open
Regular MetrOpOIitan Season.

Lovers Lane the Clyde Fitch play,
will open the season at the Metropolitan
one week from tonight This piece prov
ed to be one of the few successes of New
York last season, where it played for
five months. From New York it went to
Chicago, where it recently closed three
months engagement, winning great sue
cess under most unfavorable weather
conditions. There are many quaint and
interesting characters in this play, which
depicts life in a small New England viii
lage, with all its prejudices, social cliques
and church jealousies. The hero is a
young clergyman, who has given his
whole life to the little church. So deep
is his devotion to this parish that his
people call the road which runs from the
parsonage to the little brick church "Lov-
erS Lane" He is liberal and kindly in
his views which arouSes enmity of the
more puritanical of his flock. Running
through this story is a silver thread of
love interest which is very charming
There are many odd characters, some of
them new to the stage, such as the opera
house manager, who posts his own bills
the pickering choir singers, the social
purists mischievous waif of eleven
who has been expelled from the orphan
age, quaint pair of eighty-year-oId
lovers, together with the village dress
maker the schoolmistress, the general
storekeeper and others, who are fair
game for Clyde Fitch's delicate satire
The cast is said to be of exceptional
strength.

season of that play house. The patrons
of the Grand have had a long rest since
it's closing last June, and it is safe to
predict that the many local theater-goe
who find the Grands attractions a source
of much enjoyment will welcome its adj
vent again into scenes of theatrical activ-

COMEDY FOR OPENING.
Mathews and BuIger to Inaugu-
rate Season at the Grand.

Of the many comedians who appear
here none enjoy greater local popularity
than Mathews and Bulger, so that the
selection of these two funmakers to open
the fall season at the Grand, is sure to
meet with the Endorsement of local
amusement lovers: Mathews and Bulger
today occupy a higher round in the lad
der of comedy fame than they have ever
before; Mr.; Bulger, particularly, has ad-
vanced, and is today conceded to be one
of the cleverest of eccentric comedians
now before the public. His manner Of
funmaking is unique and his style of W.T.
exclusively his own.
The Night of the Fourth the vehicle
which these comedians will offer on this
visit, was seen here last season, and was
voted by local comedy lovers one of the
most entertaining farces Mathews
and Bulger have ever presented here. 1t
is a rollicking farce, brim full of fun.
The author has exercised considerable
originality in the construction of the plot
and has somewhat eva6ed the well-trod-
den path taken by the average farce
comedy builder. The company support
ing Mathews and Bulger this season is
said to be particularly strong.
