Optimistic In Manila,

Optimism is taking the place of con servatism among military men at Manila headquarters, the cause being the numer- ous surrenders, captures and destruction of insurgents camps, coupled with the in- creasing understanding of the Americans intentions among the natives, the propa- gation of the principles of the Federal party and the knowledge that they are approved by the United States Philippine commission and the military authorities and that the carrying out of the terms of General MacArthur's proclamation. class ing all who do things inimical to the in- terests of the army as rebels and traitors, are having pointed effect, with the offer ing of local autonomy and protection and showing the certainty of the punishment of those who remain rebellious.

THE LESSON OF SORROW.

This is the tale of what sorrow did Did king of old For a king who lived as king may live ' In a palace ablaze with gold. "Now, have joy and life," said he, ..Yi And all things in their scope. fE. Ho! Tell me, men of wisdom great, TM What need have of hopeY sE; ''What need have of hopeT' cried hs, "Of hope for future thingsY Have not all that gold can give,
 That gold can give to kingsY" The wise men reasoned with the king In voices sage and dim, But naught could show, and none could tell Why hope should come to him. Yet sorrow came in her somber garb, All habited in woe; She taught the king a mighty truth That all men come to know. z She taught the king a lesson sore A lesson grave and grand For smiling hope, with gentle clasp, a. Held sorrow by the hand. This is the tale of what sorrow did Did for the king of old The king who lived a king may live, All panoplied In gold. ''Ah, men of wisdoml" cried the king, "Your teachings were in vain, For have learned when sorrow comes Thea hope comes in her train"

Execution, Followed by a Process
 sion Of Vehicles.
 Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 16.-Fred Alexander, the negro who on Saturday evening attempted to assault Miss Eva Roth and who was supposed tO have as saulted and killed Pearl Forbes in this city in November last, was taken from the sheriff's guard by a mob and burned at the stake at the scene of his crimes, half a dozen blocks from the center of the city. Probably 5000 people witness ed the lynching.
 Alexander was brought to the city from the penitentiary at Lansing nt 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and placed in the county jail The citizens gathered in great numbers and, finding peaceable en- trance to the jail impossible, armed them selves with railroad irons. The jail doors were battered down and Alexander drag ged to the scene of his crime. followed by hundreds of bowling, frenzied men and boys. Arrived at the scene railroad rail was stuck into the ground and the negro fastened to it with chains. Then coal oil The wretch protested his innocence to the last.
 Fire Burned over Two Hours. Men kept piling on wood all the time until about z o'clock, when the flames were allowed to die down. From 6 to o'clock there was a continuous stream of people going to the scene of the burning. These were persons who had been unable to get away from their work in the after noon and who were determined not to miss seeing the awful spectacle. When the fire had died down sufficiently to al- low the crowd to approach the remains of Alexander, there was a wild scramble to obtain relics. Bits of chaIred flesh. pieces of chain, scraps of wood. every thing that could possibly serve as a sou venir, was seized on with morbid eager ness.
 The sheriff was taken sick during the excitement at the county jail and is now confined to his bed. Admittsnce to the room is denied, and Il statement from him is unobtainable. The sheriff asked the governor for the state militia by telephone, and the governor replied that he would send the militia, but would re. quire a written request or a telegraph message. This, for some reason, it is said, was not sent.
 There was no request made for the protection of United States troops from Fort Leavenworth. The sheriff upon re questing the delivery of Alexander to him said that he thought he would be able to protect the life of the prisoner, and the warden upon this assurance turn ed him over.
