FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE,

slxto Lopez very ably presents the
Filipino cause In the following argu-
ment for independence;
"The Fillpinos, like the Americans.
prefer to be men, even in poverty, rath-
er than subjects In luxury, They prefer
self-respeot, even at the cost OF great
suffering, rather than be serfs under n
mlllennial government provided by a
master.
"A self-imposed burden, however
heavy may be borne with rneerfulness;
II does not crush the soul But when
one is compelled to bear even feath-
erweight the free spirit implanted by
God in man begins to rebel. This was
true OF the American patriots In l116.
The tax on tea did not seriously touch
eyeryone's pocket, but II touched every
ono's pride,
Surely the manly American must
have temporarily forgotten all this
when he speaks OF giving the Filipinos
prosperity under American rule
1T therefore requires no special
pleading to show that not only are the
Fiipinos opposed TO American rule.
but that they win so remain as long as
they remain men,"
This is very touching plea. But
when NJ. Lopez resents the idea Of the
Americans giving liberty to hts peo-
pie. his pride is misapplied, For what
ever liberty the Fillpinos now enjoy.
and whatever liberty further may be
theirs, IS, and viii be- gift OF the
American people. 1t was the
magnificent battle of Cayite that
broke the chains. at which
the Filipinos had been Juggling for gem
erations without result. There is no
comparison between the American birth
Of liberty in l776 and the liberation OF
the Philippines. The American patriots
fought their own battles and won. The
Fillpinos hal to be given" liberty.
They could not help themselves
Then there is another point. II the
Fllipinos ever prove themselves worthy
Of statehood In the American Union.
they will have a form OF independence
OF liberty.of self-government far beyond
any ideal they could ever set up Tor
themselves. The American flag is good
enough for any country on earth. It
does not stand for serfdom under a
central government; It stands for self
government. II does not mean submis-
sion to foreign rule; II means home
rule. Each state is a sovereign state
under that flag. The Philippines, as a
state. would also be a sovereign state.
This fact NJ Lopez does not seem TO
fully understand. And as long as he
does not, he cannot be expected to ap-

Secretary Roots proposition concern
Ing the frlars in the Philippines, sub
mitted to the Vatican by Governor
General Taft, reads very much like an
ultimatum, In terms II says that the
frlars must withdraw, and this means
that If the Vatican does not facilitate
their withdrawal that they will be made
TO so anyhow. II this Is not meant
nothing is For the first time in its
history the United States government
is brought face to face with
Rome on a very delicate and most inn
portant question. The outcome will
be watched with the deepest interest.

A SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY.

George II. Maxwell In the National
Homemaker, calls attention TO the fact
that there are extensive sections OF this
country, that need not wait for either
government or private schemes for
huge water reservoirs TO utilize the
principle OF irrigation for agricultural
purposes. Nature, he says. has hoard
ed beneath the surface large quantities
Of water that can be raised with but
little expense. And these stores can.
not be monopolized, for It is usually
lmpractlcable TO utilize them for

MANY KILLED #
IN AN EXPLOSION
While Steamer Was Being
Changed to Oil Burner One
Of the Tanks Explodes.
TWELVE MEN ARE MISSING
Accident Occurred at Fulton
Iron Works Wharf, Where
a Large Force Of Men
Was Repairing Ship.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Awhile
the steamer Progreso was lying at the
wharf of the Fulton Iron works at
Harbor View an explosion occurred.
! As a result twelve men are missing, a
score We're more or less seriously in
jured. and property valued at $500, 900
was destroyed.
The disaster occurred while forty
mechanics Of the iron works and twen-
ty employees of the ship were on board.
Below the decks the mechanics were
busy completing the work of changing
the vessel from a coal burning coal
carrier to an oil burning oil carrier,
when suddenly one Of the oil tanks
blew up. Men We're dashed against
the steel wall, and a sheet of fame
came sweeping into their faces. Those
on the upper deck were hurled into
the air or thrown into the water. Three
sailors engaged in washing paint out
side the pilothouse disappeared as the
cloud Of black smoke came up from
the ship and were seen no more.
Following the explosion the ship
sagged in the center, showing that she
had broken in two. In the office Of the
iron works, twenty feet away, every
window was shattered, and flying glass
cut the faces and hands of many Of the
officials and clerks. AS they rushed
out into the open survivors who were
able to help themselves were leaping
from the ship. A great crowd of me-
chanics came running out of the works.
AS soon as the panic had subsided the
men set to work to rescue men from
the burning vessel. A stream Of burn
ing oil running from the tanks spread
out until the ship lay on waves Of fire.
The flames crept under the wharf, and
soon the timbers were blazing, adding
to the difficulty Of the work Of rescue
AS the ship was built of steel the fire
was nearly all below deck. There
were fourteen oil tanks containing
about 400 barrels of oil in all, and
despite the efforts Of the fire depart
ment this continued to burn tlercely for
hours after the explosion.
Several minor explosions due TO the
flames going from tank to tank oc-
Cured at short intervals, but all the
injury and loss Of life was caused by
the first one. One popularity of the
explosion was that several men who
were Oh the other side of the bulkhead
from where it occurred were uninjured,
while others farther away were badly
hurt. Several men in the yards were
injured by flying debris.
The loss to the Fulton company by
the wrecking Of the building aud the
burning Of the wharf will exceed $2O.-
0OO. 1t is estimated that the Progreso
was worth about $17500O.
The explosion shook all the buildings
at llarbor View, and the shock was
felt a mile away. In few instances
windows We're broken several blocks
from the scene.
James Spiers, Jr.. general manager Of
the Fulton Iron works, is positive that
the explosion was due to the oil and
not to the bursting Of the boiler.
