TROOPS TO PRESS
INSURGENTS MOROS

MANILA, August 1S.-The Moros in
Mindanao are renewing their attacks up
on the outposts and pack trains of the
American column at Lake Lanao, which
is under the command of Captain j. j.
Pershing of the Fifteenth Cavalry The
Americans have successfully repulsed the
Moro attacks and have suffered no loss.
The commanders of the American forces
in Mindanao report aggressive action
against the Moros to be necessary, ard
ask permission to move against Bacolod
and other strongholds of the hostile Mo
hammedans There are about 1000 Ameri-
soldiers in Mindanao available for the
desired aggressive movement. 1t is be-
lieved this number is sufficient to defeat
the Moros, although it would possibly be
necessary to strengthen their base before
undertaking the movement
WASHINGTON, August ia cable
dispatch has been received from General
Chaffee, stating that in his judgment an
active campaign against the Moros III
Mindanao was necessary in order 10 curo

in the matter, and will no doubt engage
in an aggressive movement against the
insurgent Moros. Some time before sec

situation was under consideration anu
from dispatch then at hand the Secre
tary was of the opinion that the MOTHS
must be dealt with severely before they
would respect the authority OF the Cnlted

Earthquakes and Explosions
on tismakua Coast.

N~Khe volcano broke out again last
night, at the same time heavy earth
ouake shock was felt at Hilo. A lake
of red hot lava is visible at the bottom
of the crater" says Mr. Berg, agent for
the WiIder's Steamship Company at
Hilo. in a letter to President c. L.
wight of that company. The letter is
dated August 26th and was received
Yesterday by the steamer Helene which
arrived from Hawaii ports.
The officers of the steamer Helene
saw that the outbreak of Kilauea was
accompanied by an earthquake. While
the vessel was lying at Papaaloa addi-
tjonal evidence of renewed activity was
secured. In the afternoon, reports
Captain Nicholson of the Helene,
the tide which always runs from tow
ards the Hilo side suddenly changed
direction and he considered this due
to some outbreak of the volcano. Dur
ing the evening of that day rumblings
were heard, the steamers anchor chains
ratified, and the waters around were
greatly disturbed This marine earth
quake caused the officers of the steamer
TO get ready to put to sea but as it
soon subsidized they remained at Pa
paaloa.
All along the Hamakua coast there
was an earthquake at about three
o'clock the following morning and this
A-reported to have been accompanied
by subterranean explosions.
The steamer Claudine is due from
Hilo today and viii probably have later
and more detailed reports of the out
break.

Those carpet-baggers who expect an
easy conquest over the people of the
Latin race in our newly acquired Span
ish possessions, had better attend night
school before going to Porto Rico. Be-
cause it has been discovered that the
people there have not forgotten what
they learned from the monks, along
with knowledge of the true faith. Ac-
cording to a Washington dispatch to
the New York Post, the civil service
commission has just completed the re-
view of the examination papers Of
candidates for the postal service in
Porto Rico, with some remarkable re-
suits. The percentage of failures turns
out TO be much heavier among the
Americans than among the Porto
Rlcans; but the most surprising dis
covery of all is that on the geograph-
zeal examination, which was confined
exclusively to the geography of the
United States, not only did the Porto
Ricans pass with higher averages than
the American candidates-one of them
actually getting 100 per cent-but a
larger number of Porto Ricans than of
Americans got through.

Drunkenness in England.

FRANK CARPENTER, now in Eng
land, writes d weekly letter to a
ldicate of American newspapers, de-
scribing conditions in the tight little
isle. He finds that the national drink
bill exceeds that of any other country.
The picture he draws of intoxication
among women and girls is the saddest
feature of the terrible evil. He says:
Our people who have not visited the
factory centers of England can have
no idea of the terrible condition of the
working classes as regards the use of
intoxicating liquors. Women and girls
patronize the saloons almost as much
as the men, and you cannot go into a
public house without finding from one
to a dozen women drinking. There are
saloons near all the factories, and at
the meal hours the hundreds of factory
girls rush for them and sit down with
the men and have their beer, gin or
whisky with their meals. They drink
at noon and at night, and many drink
too much.
The average man, when he receives
his wages lays aside a certain amount
for his drink over Sunday. If he makes
$40 week he may give his wife SIS for
the household expenses and reserve the
other So for the public house, where
he sits and guzzles In many cases he
prolongs his spree till Monday, and the
factory then looks for him in vain.
This fact makes English labor very I'M
reliable. The companies dare not con-
tract to finish their jobs in a fixed
time, and as a result much of their
business is going out of the country.
Again, when the American capitalist
has big job his workmen will turn in
and work nights to help him. Here. I
am told, the average man works rather
against than for his employer, and the
more skillful a man is the slower he
works
For fear what [ have said about
English drunkenness may be disputed,
l have looked up the national drink bill
for one year and I find that it exceeds
that of any other nation. 1t amounts
to more than $500, 900, 900 annually, or
almost 800 per year for each family of
five. The amount spent for liquors in
1900 was mos than the government rev.
enue of that year and more than the
rents of all the houses and farms of
the country. Taking out the people
who, it is estimated, abstain from the
use of intoXicants. it amounted to about
S35 per head, and two-thirds of the
whole was drunk by the working
classes. These figures are taken from
the London Mail Year Book, which also
adds that of all the nations of the
world the English drink the most and
The Americans the least.

A year ago, and the country was stand
ing eXpectantly beside the dying couch
of its stricken president. For a few brief
davs the columns of the press were elo-
duent in praise of the virtues and public
services of the ''martvred" dead. He
was set beside Lincoln and Washington,
and the world was assured that America
would never forget her fallen leader. He
would live forever in the memories ana
in the hearts of a grateful and admir-
ing people. One brief wear. and the real
value of these Derverid protestations is
embodied in this paragraph of sober
