100000 Dead. Murder Justi'

ne0.
One hundred thousand of the
inhabitants of the Philippines dead
under American rule.
This is the charge made by the
Acting Governor of the PHILIPPINES
Province of Batangas, in his report
to the Philippine Commission,
which report was first made pub
lie in Washington on the 10th of
April. Before the American CO.
oupation ,of :Batangas there were
300, 900 inhabitants in the province
the report says, and now there only
100000.
This is terrible record for three
years. and another report which
was made public at the same time
sheds light on the devilish work
that has been going on there.
This is report of Major Cornell
us Gardener, u. s A., and Aoti g
Governor of the Philippine Prov
ince of Tayabas, about sixty miles
southeast of Manila. Batangas ad-
joining Tayabns, and being near to
Manila.
Major Gardener in his report
says "There has been simply a
carnival of slaughter in the Islands
The army has either demanded
absolute submission or has given
no quarter" Major Gardener
charges the U. S. troops with arson,
torture of the natives generally,
and he declares that the seeds of a
perpetual revolution are being
sown. The Acting Governor of
Batangas says that the result of all
this work is that "the confidence
once felt in the American troops
has disappeared and that feeling
of hatred has taken it's place.
Furthermore, comes Major Lit
tlejohn w. T. Waller of the Marine
Corps who on his court martial
trial at Manila last week for mur-
dering Filipinos testified that he
ordered the Filipino prisoners
shot and he added, 81 was right. {"
We are getting on famously un-
der imperialistic modern Republi-
can rule. In the old times under
Imperialistic sway, the crime of
murder was held to be of little ac-
count, when committed by princes
of the royal blood, or officials high
in place, and here we have the
same crime avowed and justified.
One hundred thousand people dead
in the PHILIPPINES in consequence
of benevolent American rule, and
murder justified!

Paterson is distinctly manufacturing city.
1t was founded in 1T91 but not Incorporated
until 1850 It is built around the falls OF the
Passaic River, which are fifty feet high and
afford a tremendous natural water power. Its
population, according to the census Of 1900. is
105,17t, and the town covers an area of eight
and one third square miles 1t contains more
that six hundred factories whose combined cap
ital is estimated at about S35.00O.000. Most OF
the citizens are engaged in one way or another in
the mills and factories. The best known OF Pat
erson's industries is the manufacture Of silk and
silk thread. There are more than one hundred
factories engaged in this industry. giving Pater-
son the name of The Lyons Of America"

The assessed valuation of its property is S4S-
67S $50. which is estimated as about go per
cent of its actual valuation. The tax rate Is

The present Mayor is I JShn Hinchliffe, whose

lums. free eye and ear infrmary. childron's
day nursery and an old women's home.
Because 1t is so largely a factory town, the
population of Paterson contains great foreign
element and in the last few years has been
noted as the centre of a colony OF anarchists.
