FROM MANILA
Expedition to Batangas Has
Been a Complete Success
DESTROY MANY BARRACKS
Medical Authorities Say Many Ameri-
cans Are Breaking Down Physi-
caIly Through Homesickness.
Teaching Children English.

Manila, January 12.-The news received
from Batangas province is cheerful. The
expedition to Loboo, in Batangas, has
been complete success. The columns
under Colonies Whit and Wells have
destroyed large number of barracks and
hamets and enough rations to keep 10000
Fllipinos for six months. There was not
a single American casualty during the
entire expedition. The enemy fled before
the Americans, many of them were killed
and several surrendered.
Major Henry Allen, formerly Governor
of the Island of Leyte and now chief of
the insular constabulary, who has been
making a tour of inspection through the
islands of Leyte and Mindanao, has re-
turned to Manila and reports that the
native constabulary is fully able to con-
troll the situation in the province of
Misamis in Northern Mindanao, where he
thinks the situation has been much exag-
gerated.
Previous reports concerning this pro-
vince caused Generals Davis and Wade
to request that 1t be returned from civil
to military control. With the exception
of the church the entire town of Quin
Que, in Bulucan has been burned to the
ground, thousands Of people losing their
home.
Americans Are Homesick.
Medical authorities here assert that a
considerable portion of the breaking
down among American residents of the
Philippine Islands is due to homesick-
ness. The newspapers of Manila are urg-
ing the United States Philippine Commits
sion to make an appropriation for daily
cabled news service from the United
States thus bring Americans here into
closer touch with their home life.
majority of the local papers, several
army officers, civil officials and others
have promised subscriptions to help meet
the cable tolls for three months news
service of a hundred words a day. An
amount sufficient to cover the tolls for
seventy words day has already been
subscribed. 1t is hoped that this news
service can be inaugurated January 10.
1t will be devoted to American news ex-
clusively. The government has offered
to send news bulletins free to all points
on the military wires.
Teaching English.
Commissioner Bernard Moses, head of
the department of public instruction for
the islands in an address to the teachers
of Manila particularly urged the con-
tinued instruction of the Filipino chill
dren in English. He said the members of
the wealthy Filipino classes We're MAX
ing great mistake in sending their chill
dren to Spanish schools and the con-
sequent neglect in English instruction
would injure their position and standing
In the islands which would inevitably
and irdissoluably become portion of
the American nation.
Veterinary authorities believe they
have found a remedy for surra ian east
Indian malarial disease Of horses) which
is increasing here and of which many
animals die daily. The injection of solu-
ton of arsenic into the veines of the af-
fected animals have proven beneficial
as it kills the parasites of the disease.

ARGENTINE MAY WITHDRAW

Mexico City January 12-The meeting
fixed for this morning at Il o'clock be-
tween the representatives of the Ameri-
can, Mexican. Argentine and Peruvian
delegates of the Pan-American conference
for the purpose of definitely settling the
arbitration dispute, did not take place as
the Mexican representatives asked for a
further postponement on account of not
having been able to consult with Presi-
dent Diax, who is absent from the city
on a brief outing to Vera Cruz and will
return tomorrow.
In the meantime the Argentines and
their friends are getting tired of delays
and say that if they are prolonged be-
yond a reasonable point, they will take
them as equivalent to a definite rejection
of their claims to have the compulsory
plan pass through the conference and
will therefore withdraw.
An authority speaking of the disruption
said today:
THE withdrawal of six delegations to
the conference would endanger the quo
rum.
THE Chilians however. claim Monday
the Peruvians and Bolivians will with
draw with the Argentines. The Chilinas
claim that after some uncertainty they
have definitely detached Mexico and Sal
vador from the compulsory compact inso-
far as insisting that it be reported to
the conference"

chiIlans till Stubborn.

The Chilians, on the other hand, have
not abated their demand that the COM
pulsory plan shall not be reported to the
conference and drop all sorts of myster-
ious hints about what they will do II it
Is. The Chilians base their claim not
on any general understanding that moth
ing disagreeable to Chill was to be dis
cussed by the conference, but upon the
alleged verbal and specific promise made
to their minister, Bellocodecido, In an in
terview by Hon. Ignacio Mariscal, minis
ter of foreign relations of the Mexican
government, that the subject of compul-
sorry arbitration should not be brought
up. The Mexicans say that the Chilians
misunderstood the real import of this
interview. Nevertheless at the present
moment it looks very much as If the Chill
ians were going to have their way,
though it is impossible to make any GER
tain forecast. If the Argentines and their
friends withdraw, they will almost as
suredly do so during the course of the
present week. No one here can clearly
understand why the Chilians should not
take the same ground as the United
States in this matter, viz: refrain from
having anything to do with the compul-
sorry treaty but allow those who want
to sign it full liberty to do so.

The committee on general welfare has
adopted the resolutions of Volney Fisher
of the United States and Senior Chavero
of Mexico, looking to the preservation of
archaeological monuments in the coun-
tries of America, which are as follows:
Whereas, There exist in the kerritory
of the republics represented in this con-
ference archaeological, anthropological
and chronological remains of inestimable
value, which in the course of time, cor
rosion and vandalism are being effaced
and destroyed; therefore be it
Resolved That this conference recon-
mendS to the respective republics repre-
scented that an International American
archaeological commission be created, the
president of each of the American repub-
lies to name one of more members of the
said commission. which shall be appoint
ed for five years or more; that each gov
eminent thus represented shall defray
the expenses Of its commissioner or COM
missioners; that the other expenses
necessary for the prosecution of the work
herein contemplated and for the publica-
ton of the report of the said commission
shall be provided for by the different gov
ernments in the same manner as are now
in force for the support of the Bureau of
American Republics; that the organiza-
ton of the commission shall take place

tees charged especially with the work of

Resolved, That it is the intention of the
conference in providing for the creation
of this commission that its labors shall
result in the establishment at some ac-
cessible place, to be designated by the
majority of the republics approving this
recommendation, of an international
American museum, which shall be made
the center for works of investigation
and Interpretation and the receptacle
for the materials gathered together by
the said commission, and that commits

without a marked benefit resulting
from it throughout his after-life.
Parents should see that their children
have an opportunity to enjoy the lee
lures on Literature to be given in the
University Extension course.
To-day wednesday, completes the
fourth month of the term.
Our merchants in the future should

New Delivery Route.

Plans for a new rural free delivery
mail route have been formed by Clark
M. Mensch, agent of the rural free
delivery routes in Delaware. The new
route will take in a portion of Cedar
Greek hundred, which has not been
covered by the routes now in operation.
Quite few complaints have been made
by people who were not given the adj
vantage of the rural delivery. and this
new route which is being mapped out
is to remedy the difficulty.
This will make five routes going from
the Milford postoffice, which will COM
pletely cover all the territory in this
vicinity.

THE BUSY SEASON
IS NOW ON.
MILFORD OVERRUX WITH SHOPPERS.
Large Numbers From Nearby Towns
Come to Buy Christmas GOOdS-TO-
Day Promises to be the Busiest.

Milford has been Overrun with shop
peis during the past week-and espec-
tally last Saturday, when the stores
were crowded to such an extent that it
was nearly impossible, in some places,
to gain admission. The shoppers were
not out for the sake of merely examin-
ing goods, but most every one seemed
anxious to buy. The merchants report
that the sales last week amounted to
more than they ever have before at this
season of the year.
All during the week Walnut street
was -thrOnged with shoppers, and Sat
urdsy one would imagine, if on the
street, that he was in large metrOpo-
lis. The storekeepers, also, reaped a
large harvest on Monday and Tuesday.
Not only were the buyers from Mil
ford and vicinity, but for miles around
people came here to make their "Yule-
Tiden purchases. The probable cause
for this sudden influx of purchasers is,
that as the weather has been exceed
ingly stormy for several weeks past, the
shoppers-those in particular who live
at distsnce-were compelled to re-
main at home.
The busiest day is to come. To-day
whether stormy or clear weather pre-
vails-the country people and thosC
from neighbOrinp towns. will take s
holiday and come to Milford; but it il
predicted by the merchants that th'
sales will not amount to as much Al
those of previous years as those living
at distance have learned that to havt
a'pick of the good things they must b.
early on the scene, and a large numbe
have already made their pure hases
But whether they have bought or no
they never fail to make Milford thei
headquarters on Christmas eve.
