The Anglo-Saxons, as in Massachusetts and Virginia, drove back the natives and occupied the country themselves. The Spanish tried to form nations of the subjugated peoples.
 At length secular powers sought to gain control of the Philippines. and laws injurious and unsuited to the people were made in Spain.
 The natives began to rebel. After many years there was formed the Kati- punan, a very powerful society. to gain reforms. Finally came the great rebel lion of 1896. Aguinaldo was driven back and with his few followers bribed to cease the rebellion. He went to Hong Kong, where he was when the United States began the war with Spain. and he returned to his country to become again the leader of insurgents
 'll. Manila bay" concluded Captain Taylor, T saw him pull down the Spanish flag of red and gold. and real ized that these were the colors of the sunset. Then rose the American flag the colors of the sunrise-the beginning of new and glorious day to the Philip pines.

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Captain Taylor's Lecture on Philippine
 Revolutions.

Captain Taylors Lecture on Philippine
 Revolutions.
 Captain John R. M. Taylor U. s. A., lectured on "The Revolutionary Move- ment in the Philippines in College street hall last night Among those present were the soldiers stationed here for dietary experiments. Several of their number have been in the Philip pines. The speaker was introduced by Professor Chittenden. He announced that the deferred Pupin lecture on Wireless Telegraphy' will occur next Friday. This is looked on as one of es- pecial note.
 Captain Taylor is finely fitted to speak on his subject. He spent a long time in the islands, and had an intimate con- nection with the natives, as he was the head of the bureau of information, and had to examine countless native docu- ments. He is engaged in compiling an official history of the war, for which work congress appropriated $1,50O. He smoke not as a soldier but rather as a historian, last night.
 The following is the substance of the lecture:
 The exploration of the Philippines was ordered, not for gaining gold, but to spread Christianity, even though the islands should be a source of great ex- pense. Few merchants went there. Arms were not needed for the conquest, but while winning the islands to Chris tlanity the monks, of which class were most of the missionaries, brought and kept peace. Most of the natives had collected in small tribal towns. The chiefs were largely kept and aided by the Spanish, who established many schools, getting the natives to settle about the mission houses. At Manila, which grew to have 30,000 souls, were admirable municipal institutions, hos pitals, schools, judges and police. Only 200 Spanish soldiers and officers were needed. Large grants of land were given, but under laws which prevented oppression like that of Peru and Mex ico, which the monks hated. There was little communication with Madrid, and the monks ruled wisely and in peace for many years.
 There was great difference between Anglo-saxon and Spanish methods.

TO AVOID EUROPEAN WAR

 on international relations, especially the relations between Russia and Great Britain. The Spectator points out how 'sthe Russian feeling of resentment against Great Britain is steadily rising, the Russians being convinced that the British have been the chief cause of their difficulties by encouraging the Japanese to go to war;
 Without considering whether there is any truth in this view, continues the Spectator, the important fact is that it is held by the Russian people and that public opinion is in such a state of ex- citement that war with Great Britain would be extremely popular''
 Proceeding to explain why the military party should try to escape the humil- iation oe a possible defeat by a small Asiatic power" the Spectator .renw rks:
 A great European war would oblit- crate all traces of the Japanese war. A popular war would cover up an un- popular one, and give the Russians an excuse to make peace with Japan. or withdraw from Japan's reach and so otauiica lHe biSSulHS III men ana money how going on in Manchuria'
 Further. according to the Spectator, military men in Russia believe that war against Great Britain would be conducted in company with Germany and France and present no risks to Rus sia. as the brunt of the fighting would Fall on France and Germany, whose colonies could be taken in the event of the British being victorious while as

tation. The slick fellow knew him andI asked him if the horse had chance. The bookie said:
 :" Not chance on earth, for we ain't ready to bet!'
 The price was six to one and the slick fellow hurried up to the woman in the grand stand and told her that this particular horse was lead pipe. 'Plunge!' he said, Put the six hun- dred dollars on; three hundred dollars each wayi
 The woman liked another horse ir1 i the race, but the tip was so powerfully strong that she finally consented to play it. The slick fellow ran off toward the betting ring, but he stuffed the six hundred plunks into his trousers pocket and after few minutes delay he went back to the woman, telling her that the money was down.
 They watched the race together, and coming into the stretch, the bookrnak- CTS horse was three lengths in front. The slick fellow, his heart in his mouth, and believing that he had been double- crossed, yelled like an Indian. It was not until the last jump that the book- makers horse was beaten by a whisler It was a splendid tip. Walter!' said the woman, smiling. Never mind you did no harm
 But I was sure it would winr was the reply. And, oh, how rooted! I'm shaking like a leaf and am going down l stairs for bracer. l ''Whereupon he hurried off to a cora
 ner of the betting ring and looked the six hundred plunkers over with an air that denoted intense satisfaction
 That was the beginning of His run ot
 good luck, for he'll come north with
 barlk-roll of at least twenty five thou-l
 sand dollars, if I'm not mistaken. And the good, kind hearted woman was nev-
 CT wise to the game he played New
 York Sun.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-03-05

Yes. I'll admit that the horses have ruined me financially, but shall never gave up trying to get back what I've lost.
 ''The next day the woman had a phe- nomenal run os luck. She ran a ten dollar bill up to thirteen hundred dollars on the first four races, and had sense enough to quit. The following day she plunged and won twenty-seYen hundred dollars more.
 Her winnings on the third day amounted to six thousand dollars gross, and she was the picture of confidence. Yet with this success she remained the same quiet, neat woman whom I had first met at Jamaica No wine drink ing or associating with other women, no fiashy men friends and no dazzling jewelry.
 "She came to the track the fourth day and began to lose, but she kept her nerve, even when she played three to five favorite with thirty-five hundred dollars, and lost by an eyelash. I tried to disuade her from further speculation, but she cut me off politely with the re- mark:
 '' Do not worry about me, sir. I have bought transportation to New York, have paid all my bills and have settled with the hotel in advance, up to the close of the meeting. so that am pro- tected
 Shall come here next winter? If not, shall go to California, for I have never been there. They say it is a beautiful country, and that it is luckier than New Orleans''
 This woman is not the only one at the Crescent City whose face would be familiar to New York race goers. There is a small regiment of such wo- men there.
 One in particular, who always follows the stable of well known politician, is there in all her glory. She seems to have had wonderful luck, and lives in splendor at one of the leading hotels.

death she had inherited large fortune.
 .sWith plenty of time on her hands she had been induced to go to the races one day, and the excitement of it all had proved so fascinating that she could not get over it. She was drawn to the track after that as by some magnetic power, and in the course of time she wasa heavy loser.
 Tn spite of the warning of friends she kept at it until the day we talked together she declared that she had only a few thousands left. I did not wholly believe her story, and when we parted at Long Island City was inclined to laugh to myself.
 At New Orleans about a month ago I was walking through the grand stand when suddenly this same woman con- fronted me- She did not recognize me and I had chance to look her over carefully.
 sShe seemed to have aged ten years. Her clothes were still neat, but her hair was prematurely gray and the lines on her face denoted worry and care.
 ''She was lingering dope book and counting over a few crumpled bills which a commissioner had just handed to her. As spoke to her she looked up in amazement Then she was clearly embarrassed, the color mounting to her cheeks.
 t'sYou see I cannot keep away she remarked with a faint smile. I could not remain in New York. I wish I had.
 I've had terrible run of luck ever since I came here. Did I come alone? Why, of course. Who would harm me ?
 From the very first it seemed as if fate was against me. I could not cash a het and soon all of my money was gone. Then my jewelry went, but the i'll luck continued.
 "'Wil it never change? All I want to do now is to win enough money to pay my bills here and get back to New York, where I know I shall have better fortune on the big tracks there.

the Russian fleet has already gone Great Britain could nto infict injury on Rus sia.'
 The Spectator proceeds to warn the press against giving Russia occasion for picking a quarrel, especially refer ring to the progressively anti Russian tone of the Times and the impression of partisanship,' which, it declared, ''it is difficult to condone or even under stand"
 Continuing the Spectator will say: That the Times should give occasion to those who desire to embroil Russia and Great Britain in rendering more remarkable by the fact that the Times has done much excellent service in pointing out the trend of German policy. It is to be feared that the harm done by the want of restraint originally shown by the British press cannot now be undone, but at least our newspapers should realize the need of not playing into the hands of the military party in Russia or providing material for those who desire to prove to France that her ally has been treated in an unfair and hostile spirit by the British people. While explosives are lying about there always is need of extra care and cir cumspection.''
 The Spectator concludes with urging the government to be vigilant and have It's plans prepared for all emer- gencies, saying:
 We must look the facts in the face and prepare to take the consequences of the Japanese alliance. One of those consequences was the active and bitter hostility of Russia and the opportunity afforded to the German emperor to knock the heads of the European pow CTS together and get something of ad- vantage to his own nation.''

"She got the tip at the very beginning of the meeting to play the horses ridden 1 by H. Phillips, the boy who will ride for Thomas & Shields this year, and she went at it heavily. It was nothing to i her to bet one thousand dollars Of even five thousand dollars at clip, and she soon had bank roll that was too heavy Ito carry.
 ssThe big gamblers are at her feet. She has diamonds galore and drives to and from the track in a ten thousand dollar automobile. Every bet she makes seems to win for her..
 "She gives champagne suppers and entertains royalty. In fact, she gets a world of amusement out of the. racing game just as she did in New York.
 "Then there is the little old lady who used to bring her lunch to the big tracks here and ask tips from every body she met. She's down at, New Or Ileans, and how she lives is a mystery to all. She never bets more than a. dollar at clip, and apparently she gets on more dead ones than anybody at the track Maybe she's got money slowed away somewhere, but if she has she takes good care not to let anybody know where it Is.
 Another veteran is the woman who used to visit Guttenburg in the old days with her son. Her husband, now dead, owned big furniture store. and she llplayed the races behind his back.

If they I cannot beg or borrow enough coin to 4 get to Bennings next month they will \ start to walk home.
 These fellows were broke when Ja- maica closed the season here last No vember, but they got to New Orleans just the same and had money to bet with after they got there. One of them 1 worked a slick game on a woman whose husband, 8 well known bookmaker, had I befriended him some time ago.
 "He met the woman in the grand I stand one day in December and told her

 Official advices from St. Petersburg confirm the reports that a decisive move is anticipated on the part of the Port Arthur squadron. now that Admiral Makaroff has arrived there. that torpe- do boats especially will be brought into play, and that in spite of reports to the contrary, Russia has an ample supply of torpedoes for these craft.
