Marila, Jan. z. - Gen. J.. Franklin

soldier is in the field. The columns
by Colonies Whit and
Dougherty are doing excellent work
and driving the Filipinos in all direc-
lions. A number OF the latter are fee
Ing to Tayabas province, where the
native c~onstabulary are rendering val
liable assistance in capturing men and
rifles. .sa
The advocates Of peace at Manila
.deprecate the stern measures employed
by Gen. Bell. In reply Gen. Bell says
that these peace advocates have had
opportunities to use their
influence as they have been given
passes through the American lines al
most for the asking. and that 1t has
been afterward proved that they only
went through the lines in many cases
for the purpose Of assisting the insur-
rection. Gen. Bell says that the best
peace method now is a. rigorous war

ly subdued.

There are still a great many people

tween an Eastern and a Mountain"

wagon is a wagon, East or West, and
that what stood them East will stand
up In the Western service.
This is not the case A. wagon built
for the Eastern roads is considerably
lighter than our mountain roads re-
qulre. and any company that sends
that sort Of goods to Oregon is selling
you something that will fail you.
