THE collecting OF numerous liens

ment has had entered up against
properties which have been curbed
and paved, as well as severed,
will cause the property owners
much trouble and expense. The

things with high hand and did
what WAS uncalled for in many in
stances. Take the square on the
south side OF Fourth street between
Du uPont and Scott; there arc but
two frame houses near DUPONT and
one at Fourth and Scott streets.

IT has been said by a gentleman

not be two Republican tickets ia

ecrely hope he is not mistaken In
his views. That is the. only hope
the Republican voters OF Del aware
have that will result in sure vic
tory. Not for years has better
opportunity been presented tor the
Republicans to win than the pres

Twice they have had the oppor-
stuuity 10 elect United States Sena-

of the Filipinos would prove in practice
to be their worst enemies, because of the
opposition they would make to necessary
legislation, thus keeping matters in an I'M
settled state much longer than necessary
and delaying the time when the Filipi-
nos would be educated to the point of safe
and satisfactory self-government.
We talked for several hours along these
lines, with the result that he admitted
that the Filipinos as class were not ca
pable of self-government, not even the
Tagals. and that whatever Government
there might be by the natives would have
to be an oligarchy of the educated few,
who would have to keep the masses in
line by military power, and that he be-
lieved the raising of the masses to fitness
for participation in Government would be
accomplished much more quickly by the
Americans than by the natives. l do not
know that this conversation converted him
to the support of American rule, but
do know that he never thereafter figured
as a promoter of hostility to the Amerl-
cans His father. however. was mixed
up with the attempt to burn the city the
following February. and was the author
of a fake proclamation alleged to have been
issued by American soldiers protesting
against American rule and calling upon
all their comrades to join the Filipinos.
1t was a most absurd document and con-
tanned in its grammar and IDEAS undoubt-
ed proof of its Filipino origin. The old
man was arrested, but in a little while
was released.

A Great OIL Gusher on Fire.

One of the most spectacular oil fires
ever seen i'll the United States took place
recently in the Jennings oil field, in Lou
isiana. A 1,20OIbarrel tank was struck
by lightning, and both it and an adjoin-
ing tank of the same size were speedily
consumed. The derrick ut the Jennings
No. well soon ignited from the blazing
tanks, and at once the oil flowing from
the well caught fire. The flames shot I'D
20 feet, while gas explosions sometimes
sent them much higher, and the dense
smoke rose in great volumes about 1000
feet, making Of! the phenomenon Il NINA
ture Mont Pelee.4
Successful precautions were taken to
save adjacent prdp.ty. A train carrying
a chemical engmefand several experienced
oil men hurried to the scene from Reau-
mont, Tex. Itiwas decided to use steam
as the extinguishing agent, and many boil
ers were sent to the spot. The steam
from these, with sal ammOniac in quanti-
ties, was focused on the flames, and the
latter were eXtinguished.

Here was our initial error. We thus
officially disayowed responsibility for

The authority of Spain had been killed

our capture of her army and the spread
Of the instruction. Spain was in no con-
dition to- oppose or object, had we garri-
sOned the outside towns and administered
the Government there as well as in the
city. Technically we had no right to do

est law, and self-defense required that we
prevent such a military organization as
Aguinaldo was perfecting from being ere
ated. to be used against us in all prOba-
bility later on. Besides, if we owed n
duty to civilization to administer the Gov
eminent in the city because we had para
lyzed the arm of the sovereign power
there, we owed it as much to do so In the
country, where the same paralysis ex-
tended.
Gen. Anderson seems to have been the
one commander who took the sensible
view of this subject and he favored
strong policy, that of disarming the in
surgents and assurances given them. that
the United States would preserve order
everywhere and would protect their rights.
In other words, he favored acting on the
theory that we were actually going to do
