Jas. II. Farrell, Prominent Chicago
rIan.

James A. Farrell of Chicago is one
of the best known figures in the Dem
ocrat politics of that city. For years
he has been Marshal Of the famous
Cook County Democracy Marching
Club. which has participated in Dem
ocratic campaigns in half the states of
the union, and which went to New
York especially to assist in the election
of Mayor Van Wyck.
Capt. Farrell is the Oldest member
of the Illinois House Of Representa-
lives in point Of service having been a
member continuously since 1887. His
constituents have elected him eight
times. He has been a leader in that
body from the beginning Of his career
and is one of the best known figures
in Illinois politics.
Capt. Farrell is SO years of age and
one of the best preserved men for his
years in the Illinois Legislature, des-
pite his arduous and constant duties
in that body. Mr.. Farrell is engaged
in the real estate business in Chicago.
Under date of March IA, 1901, he
writes as follows:

San Fabian fell into American hands, and
Tarlac was captured on November IL, but
Aguinaldo and his government had moved
The following day the insurgents were at
tackled at San Jacinto, the place being cap
tured, but not until it had cost the life of
Maj. John A. Logan. The fighting contin-
ued with but small loss to the Americans
until Dagupan, the northern terminus Of
the railroad running from Manila, was
reached on November 20. Four days later
President Bautsta, of the Filipino con-
gress, surrendered himself to Gen. Mac
Arthur and Gen. Otis telegraphed the war
department at Washington that "the in
surgent government could no longer claim
an existence" At that time the insur-
gent treasurer, secretary of the interior
and president of its congress were in Amer
lean hands.
The American troops pushed steadily
northward, and on December Gen.
Young's command arrived at Vigan, near
the northwest extremity of Luzon. In Or
der to follow the rapidly dispensing enemy
Gen. Young divided his force into smaller
bodies of troops and dispatched them in
different directions for the purpose Of cap
turing Gen. Tino and Gen. Del Pillar, and
on December IL Gen. Tirona surrendered
the whole of the district to the American
forces, Capt. McCalla, of the navy, ac-
cepting the surrender.
During the middle of December two
notable events occurred. The first, on De-
cember Is, was the rescue of Lieut.. Gil
more, of the navy, and his men, who had
been captured near Baler, April IL, and the
other was the death of Gen. Lawton, killed
during the fight at San Mateo on Deem
Der 10.
By the opening of the year 1900 the in
surgent opposition had dwindled to but
little more than a force of scattered ban
dts, and guerilla warfare was the rule.
The northern portion of the island had
been pretty generally cleared, and Gems.

$3.50 o'clock was fred the first shot in the
revolution OF the Filipino soldiery against
American occupation, revolution that has
continued to the present time, though is
now, after almost two and half years of
fighting, seemingly near a close.
The Filipinos demanded absolute indie
pendence of the American people, and that
this country refused to grant. That, in a
concise way, may be accepted as the cause
of the present rebellion in the Philippines.
During the three days following the firing
Of the first shot the American troops drove
the insurgents from the line of defenses
they occupied outside Manila and secured
possession of the suburbs of the city. Dur
ing this three days of fighting $4,000 Amer
lean troops were opposed to Aguinaldo's
army Of 10000 Filipinos.
The battle of Pasig, on March Is, was the
next important engagement between the
two forces. 1t was early in March that the
advance on the rebel capital at Malolos was
begun. The first fight of this campaign was
on March 20 at Malinta, and this was fol-
lowed by the capture of Malolos on March
81, but Aguinaldo had moved his govern

influence were the priests, an influence that
was much more often exercised for good
than for bad, and many evidences of their
rule are to be found throughout the is
lands in the shape OF roads and bridges. To
be sure the natives were taxed for far more
of these conveniences than were built, but
it is a question if any would have been built
had it not been for the priests.
The real government of the islands lay in
the hands of the governor-general, a crown
appointee. He was assisted by council
of state. The minister of the colonies at
Madrid was the direct head of the gov.
eminent, as he was of all the Spanish col
onies, but he was assisted by an advisory
council for the Philippines, residing in
Madrid, and to this council was specially
intrusted the interests Of the Philippines.
The islands could never be properly
termed Spanish colony. They were held
only as a military possession. To extort
money from the people, under the various
forms of taxation that cunning and rapacity
had devised, was the sole purpose of Spain
and the business and object Of the govern
mental officers that were maintained there.
How much these extortions amounted to
will never be known outside OF Spanish Of

parture fred the government buildings.
The victory was signal one, however, as
it resulted in the capture of subsistence
stores valued at one and half million dol
lars.
The American troops continued to push
northward toward the new rebel capital
rapidly, and on April 10 was fought the
battle of Santa Cruz, which place was cap
tured on April Is, and on May 5 San Fer
nando fell into the hands of the American
troops. The capture of this place prac-
tically closed the campaign to the north

far eastern countries,
says "a richer isolated land or group Of
islands, viewed comparatively as to area and
population, variety of agriculture, mineral
and forest resources undeveloped, in addi-
ton to those already improved, cannot be
pointed out on the map of the world"
That paragraph gives in general way
the wonderful resources of the Philippines
The soil of the islands is Of phenomenal fer
tility, but its capacities have been most
imperfectly developed, neither the natives
or the Spaniards seemingly never thinking
Of the future. When even improperly culti
waited as it has been it produces bountiful
crops of tropical staples, such as sugar, to-
bacco, rice, cocoa gums of various kinds,
arrowroot, indigo, cotton, pepper, CO.
clinical, betelroot, areca nut, cocoanuts.
cocoanut, oil and the Manila hemp so well
known to commerce. OF this product be-
tween 600, 900 and zoo, 900 bales are exported
annually, of which practically onehah
comes to the United States. The annual
value of the hemp crop exported is about
$7,O0O,0O0.
The mineral resources of the islands are
as yet almost an unknown quantity. Gold,
copper and coal are all found, but as yet
authority for the tales of fabulously rich
gold mines, but these have never been
found. 1t is said that gold formed the chief
product Of Luzon as far back as the third
century, and to-day it is mined in sew
eral sections of the island. Paracale
is the center of the gold mining industry,
and is a village that is but little known
of to the majority of the people Of the is
lands excepting the Chinese traders WHO
purchase the product Of the mines and dis
pose Of it secretly in Hong Kong or Annoy.
1t is so far removed from the centers Of
population that even the Spanish officials,
ever looking for somethingto tax, failed to
seriously disturb it. Cebu, Mndors,
Panaon and Mindanao are all said to be
rich in gold deposits.
Luzon produces some copper, but the
mines, all of which are worked by natives,
are not of sufficient value to warrant de-
velopment on large scale, and the indus
try will probably continue primitive one.
There are comparatively few coal deposits
known in the islands. Cebu has limited
coal belt of rather inferior quality, and an
other coal field of some magnitude and of
better quality is located in the island OF
Masbate, not far from the coast. This
latter field has been worked to some extent
by local steamship owner who secured fuel
for his ships from this field so long as the
native laborers could secure it by the use
of crowbars only. When the vein ran be-
meath the ground, so that tunneling was
necessary, the field was abandoned. Prac.

however, is not true coal but Ignite, but
experts claim there is no reason why the
better mineral should not be found in pay

and Gems. Bates and Bell headed an expe-
dition which left Manila February 10 to
drive the enemy from the Camarines. Both
of these expeditions encountered consid-
cradle opposition from small bodies of in
surgent troops, but were in the end sue
cessful in accomplishing the objects for
whica they were organized with but small
loss of life.
The details of the campaigns of 1901 and
of the present year are so fresh in the pub
lie mind that q rehearsal of their details
is unnecessary. OF last year the two most
important occurrences were the capture Of
Aguinaldo by Gen. Funston on March %
and the establishment of civil government
in the islands by the Taft commission on
July 4. There has been considerable fight
ing since that time. The campaign in Sa-
mar, with its attendant horrors, will prob
ably not soon be forgotten, either by the
participants or the American public, and
now promises to result in a number Of
ourt-martials for different army officers.
The recent surrender of Gen. Malvar has
seemingly virtually ended the organized
opposition to American rule, and the Of.
ficials at Manila are in hopes of an early
and permanent peace.

shores of Laguna de Bay, and from the
third of June to the thirteenth of the same
month succeeded in driving the insurgents
not only from the shores of this body Of
water, but from around the shores of Ma
Mia bay as well, and soon after had driven
the enemy from every stronghold in Cavite
province.
Gen. Macarthur opened the second cam
paign to the north of Manila on August 8,
when he moved against Angeles. Bacolor
was first captured, and on August 10 the
army arrived before the intrenchments at
Angeles. The place was captured with a
loss of but two killed and IL wounded.
During the same time Gen. Young had
taken the towns of San Mateo, Balcuag and
Quingua.
While American troops had been fight
ing the insurgents in Luzon the rebellion
had spread to other islands and insurgent
garrisons had been established in Panay,
Leyte, Cebu, Negros, Samar and other is
lands. Gen. Miller had captured noilo on
February IL; Bacolod, in Negros, was taken
by Col. Smith, and on February 81 Cebu
was taken by Capt Cornwall, of the Petrol.

History explorer sailed around

the Pacific and landed
on the island OF Cebu in 1921, where he
attempted to take possession in the name
of Spain, but was killed in a shirmsh with
the natives. The ships of Magellan re-
turned to Spain and his companions aroused
an interest in the wonderful lands they
had discovered, but it was not until 1865
that another attempt was made to sub

islands. At this later date Spanish feet
sailing from Mexico punished the natives
for the killing of Magellan, and formally
took possession OF the entire group in the
name of the Spanish sovereign. Five years
later the city of Manila was founded, and
the different native chiefs in Luzon took
the oath of allegiance to Spain.
Chinese pirates, who had virtually been
the rulers of the islands for many years
previous to the Spanish occupation, gave
the new rulers much trouble, and disputed
with them the sovereignty. Two serious
attempts were made by these pirates to
drive the Spanish from the islands, but

As the American boats got within closer
range the smaller guns added their roar
to that Of the larger ones, and the terrific
fire was kept up until 1885 when Dewey felt
that he had had enough for beginner, and
not wanting to spoil good thing too soon,
quit for breakfast, and pull at the pipe
or cigar.
1t was not until 1880 that he again went
at the Spaniards. He had furnished suf-
ficient sport for his sailormen, and now
intended to finish the job in hurry and
put the enemy out of their misery without
further loss of time, and before it could
interfere with his dinner arrangements.
The midday meal would be served aboard
the flagship at one, and it was necessary
that the job be completed and the muss
cleared up before that time. To accomplish
this every gun, big and little, that could
be brought into play, was used, and it was
but little more than an hour before all of
the Spanish ships were either lying at the
bottom of the bay or destroyed, and at

before the garrison were aware OF his
