WHO is THE JTNTA?

n tale comes from London. most grewsome
and "bluggy." 1t iG put forth by the Filipino
Junta upon the strength of reports received
from the branch Of that junta which has its
name, place and local habitation 1T Singapore.
1t is to the effect that General Emilio Aguinaldo
the Washington of the Philippines etc, did not
voluntarily take the oath of allegiance to the
United States but was constrained so to do
against his will under threat of being put to
the torture. General Macarthur, it is said, had
the torture chamber all swept and garniShed
and ready for AguinaldO's agOniZed occupancy
when the stern and indomitable patriot yielded
and declared his preference for signing rather
than for being consigned TO the care of the
familiars. There is an unfortunate hiatus III
the story at this point We are not Informed
to the kind of torture which was to he ap-
piled. Was it the rack and thumbscrews or
the reading of William Lloyd Garrson's poems? q?
Was it an iron boot with which the Washington
of the Philippines was confronted ana which
cowed his otherwise unconquerable soul, or was
it of Edward Atkinson's justly renowned
Aladdin stoves, upon which his meals We're
thereafter to be cooked: Or was the dire choice
given him between taking the oath OF allegiance
and subscribing TO Erving Winslow's opinions
OF the Ibsenite drama? We shall hope TO be
enlightened upon these essential points by re-
turn cable.
Meantime should really like to know who
is the Filipino Junta. We speak Of it. or him.
in the singular deliberately and advisedly. We
remember what a formidable and numerous
body the Cuban Junta once appeared to be. COM
prising Ostensibly a large majority OF all the
simOn-pure, hall marked lovers of liberty in the
two hcmispheres, and how it finally was found
to have consisted from start 10 finish, of just
one amiable and peace loving but most ingenious
gentleman. Wherefore ask Who is the
Filipino Junta? And does he live in Tooley-st,
London or in Beacon-st.. Boston? A reply. pre-

whether IT shall again become and continue a
part of the territory of Peru. special protocol.
which shall be considered an integral part of
the present treaty shall establish the form in
which the plebscite shall be taken.
The ten years expired in March, 1894, but
Chill took no step toward fulfilling the pro-
visions of that article. At last, being threat
ened meantime with war by Argentina, she con-
cluded the Blinghurst-La Tore protocol OF
April Is. 1898, by which she nominally accepted
arbitration, and the Queen Regent of Spain was
chosen n umpire TO determine the manner of
holding the plebiscite. This protocol was rati-
fed by the Peruvian Congress. 1t was also
ratified by the Chilian Senate, hut not by the
Chlian Chamber of Deputies. The last named
body hung it up for nearly three years, and
finally, some weeks ago. rejected it.
Thus the case stands at present. Chilli is in
the unenviable position of having juggled with a
solemn treaty, and Of being at the present time
unwilling to comply with its plain provisions
She is willing to arbitrata her dispute with Ar
gentina but not with Peru and Bolivia. Appar-
emily she means to maintain, rs far and as long
as possible sort of hegemOny or dominance
over the Pacific Coast of South America. for
her dissent from the arbitration proposals of
the MontevIdeo congress applies solely to mat
ters concerning that coast. 1t will be most
fortunate if in any such fashion the arbitration
proposals at Mexico are defeated are de-
priyed of that unanimity which they should
have. So far as the United States is concerned,
they will. of course. be purely benevolent.
There Is no thought of imposing the umpireship
of this country upon its southern neighbOrs nor
indeed is the United States likely to press any
offers of mediation upon them. 1t will rat
urally await their invitation to act arbitrator.
Under such an understanding there would
seem to be no reason why an arbitration
scheme should not be adopted, unless in the
deliberate unwillingness Of some power actu-
ated by motives of selfish aggrandizement

PURE WATER AND PURE MILK.

Eternal vigilance against defcment of the
water supply is the price Of safety for every
city, town and village which desires To protect
itself from the rayaCes of typhoid fever. The
daily papers agree i'll saying that there have
been hundreds Of cases in the charming city of
New-Haven because one of the small bodies of
water included in the sources of supply had
been polluted with the specific poison which
causes this disease. Bacteria of n certain sort
in water or in milk in sewer gases or in food,
are almost invariably the original sources which
bring about this serious malady, and public of
cials cannot be too careful in protecting com
munities against impurities.
In recent years the Investigations which have
been carried have accomplished results of
the greatest benefit to the race. 1t is not neces-
sary to dwell upon the usefulness of vaccination
or the discoveries of Pasteur and many students
of bacterology. Physicians all over the world
are far better informed as to many Affections of
the race than they were twenty or even ten
years ago, and in the labOrS to lessen human
suffering and TO promote the wcllbeing of all
classes they have gained many notable tri-
umphs. Even cancer and tetanus, two of the
most battling Of the ills which plunge their
victims into misery. are not deemed
hopelesSly impossible of lasting relief as they
were in the last generation II is true the
terrors of the bubonic plague have not yet been
lightened. but much has been accomplished
in providing safeguards against many threaten
ng maladies that medical science does not yet
retire in despair from the formidable task of
setting up barriers even against the Black Death
itself
In this period of enlightenment with regard
TO barriers against disease ii must be confessed
that any city or town which is scourGed by the
prevalence of smallpox, scarlet fever or typhoid
should be held up to general reproach for negli-
gence on the part Of its health officials. Thor
