The Doctors Blessing.

Dr. Elmendorf, who started for the new town of Imperial, overland, few days ago, writes us from lndio in the following heartfelt manner:
 "INDIO, 8, F, 1902. Taking a rest of thirty-six hours after a hard trip since the 9th inst from Santa Ana. Heaven bless the man who invented mules. Nothing we could have taken would have ans wered us as well. Please mail The Herald to Imperial and oblige.
 Yours truly,
 "W. ELMENDORF." Just why the subject of mules should have suggested to the doctor the idea of having The Herald sent to him is bothering us some, but we are glad to know he Is progressing all right on his journey. At any rate if the mules and the paper are linked together in the doctors mind, both come in for the blessing. Here's luck to you, doctor.-Santa Ana Herald.

 "Wealthy bankers of New York who have confidence in me are willing to advance the money required to build the road and to run their chances of selling out to one of the great transcontinental companies after the connection is completed says MT. Carlson. "The Imperial colony is helping the proposition along, for it is apparent that the development of the vast holdings of that corporation will be productive of freight that will give earning capacity to the road" Los Angeles Journal.

DETAILS OF BOLOMEN.s ATTACK.
Surprised a Detachment of 9th In
fantry In q Thicket.

VICTORIA, B. c.. February 5.-Mania
papers received by the steamer Empress OF
China have particulars of the recent at
tack by bolomen on a company Of the 9th
Infantry in Samar, which resulted in the
death Of seven Of the eighteen attacked,
wounding Of seven others, five seriously.
The detachment from company f was
struggling through a thicket near Dapdag
Pueblo. when a large band of bolomen
rushed upon them. A bloody hand-to-hand
combat ensued. The detachment dubbed
their rifles and standing back to back,
swung them at the heads of the enemy.
Several eventually managed to bring their
rifles into play and the bolomen gradually
fell away, leaving the small force of Amer
leans with but four unwounded. The bolo-
men lost heavily. "A detachment Of native
soldiers was attracted by the sound of fir
ing to the scene, but arrived too late to
take part in the combat. 1t is believed the
unexpected arrival of these renfOrcements
caused the bolomen to retreat. thereby
saving the detachment from annihilation.

Effect of Concentration.
In this connection Senator Culberson
made inquiry concerning the effect Of the
policy of concentration in the Philippines.
Replying Gov. Taft said that Gen. Bells
order for concentration had been publish
ed since his departure from Manila. He
had. however. talked with Gen. Bell on
that point and had told him that he did
not consider such an order necessary, be-
cause he was of opinion that a proper
degree of pressure brought to bear upon
the wealthy men of Batangas would have
the effect of causing the province to yield
without making sweeping order of con-
centration.
After reading a part of Gen. Bells order
Senator Culberson asked IL he still enter
tanned the same opinions previously ex-
pressed as to the military policy in the
Philippines. To this Gov. Taft replied:
1.-The war has been all over these islands,
and that which remains is crime against
civilization. 1t is also a crime against the
Filipino people to keep up state of war
under the circumstances. They have worn
out the right to any treatment but that
which is severe and within the laws of
war
This statement led Senator Patterson to
ask Whether the Witness QlQ hot CONSIDER
that even a small number of people who
were waging a war for independence do not
deserve consideration at the hands of the
American army.
In response Gov. Taft said that the great
majority of the people of the islands desire
peace, and that the fnsurrectionists were
by their acts preventing the mass Of the
people from settling down and earning a
quiet living. Instead of being allowed to do
this they were kept under a system OF ter
rorism, which should be stopped.
Democratic members Of the committee
read statements from Gen. Macarthur and
others expressing the opinion that the hos
tility of the Filipinos to American institu-
tions is due to mate differences and is gen.
eral, but Gov. Taft replied that he had ap-
preached the question at issue from diff
ferent standpoint from these authorities
and said that most of his conclusions were
drawn from contact with the Filipinos
themselves.
Punixhment Of Treason.
In conclusion Gov. Taft was questioned
concerning the acts of the Philippine COM
mission for the punishment of treason, but
he expressed desire to postpone discus
sion of this matter to time when more at
tention could be given it. He had not, he
said been present when this law was enact
ed, but he had an opinion on the subject
which he would be glad to give.
