WILD TALES CIRCULATED.


Washington, March GA mail just
In from the Philippines shows that
the insurgent leaders are rssorting to
all kinds of receptions and subter-
fuges to retain control. One insur-
gent commander recently issued a
proclamation that "the United States
is in tho midst Of . bloody civil war.
The coal miners in Pennsylvania have
risen against the government and at
Chicago a great battle was fought in
which 1000 regular soldiers were
killed. An army of anti-imperalists
is besieging Washington. Roosevelt
will be deposed and DR.. Bryan pro-
claimed president by the democrats
on the 4th of March next" Another
circular letter said that Germany
would supply the insurgents free OF
charge with $500 new rifles and i,ooO.-
900 Mauser cartridges, and Russia
would declare war against the United
States. Another peculiar tale said
that Americans now have chaplain
with every regiment for the reason
that the number of Americans killed
by the insurgents had increased so
greatly that the chaplains with the
army year ago were insufficient to
receive the dying confessions OF the
soldiers killed in battle. Although
the United States was considered a
Protestant nation, so many Ameri-
cans were sent to hell from the Phil
ippines, according to the story, that
all Christendom was scandalzed and
the pope of Rome commanded the
president to send more chaplains to
the islands.
