General Wood Contradicting His Own
Official Dispatch as to Killing of
Women and Children in Mount DajO.

The administration is now badly
tangled up over the Moro slaughter.
lon March Is, General Wood himself
Icabled that "a considerable number of
women and children were killed in the
Ifght-number unknown-for the rea-
son that they were actually in the
works when assaulted and were una
lvoidably killed" Yesterday he ca
lbled: mo references in any. cable from
lMindanao as to killing of women and
lchildren." The only possible explana-
ltion is that in his dispatch Of yester-
Iday General Wood referred to press
kilograms from Manila. But granting
THAT there were fake press cable
lgrams for that city, it was General
WOOD himself, an eyewitness of the
light, who stated that women and chill
Idren, were killed, and any effort to
iwriggle out Of the fact cal only reflect
upon himself. But for a proud, self
satisfied administration the wObbling
that is going OF is really pitiful. We
have already had two explanations Of
the killing of the wOmen first, that
they were in mems clothes and were
used as shields by h Moros, and,
second, that by the long-range firing.
Now there is apparently a move on
foot to make it appear that there were
no children killed. Such indecision is
unworthy Of a great and strong lingo
Power. The proper attitude for your
imperialist is first to raise the false
cry that the army is being slandered,
and then to declare that General Wood
did absolutely right in DISCRIMINATING
these Moro vermin, men, women, and
babes in arms. Civilized nations, it
should be explained, have always pro-
.gressed over the dead bodies Of moth
.ers and infants, and why not the great
American Republic? If this is bar
barrie, it is at least consistent, and as
such we commend it to the religious
nreSS=NeW York Post.

Direction CT the Disposition.

How can we cast out the had spirit
which renders so many lives i~neffect-
i've? The obvious answer is. cultivate
an interest in other lives than your
own. 1t tends to keep alive and re-
sponsive the sympathies of the heart,
it detaches some part of time and
thought from the pursuit Of self-intcr-
est. Care in the formation of habits
is a powerful engine of ~self-cultiva-
ticn. We become what W. make cur
selves. But more potent than merly
watching habits is the direction Of the
disposition. If the evil spirit be in us
We need to get rid Of the spirit which
directs our dispositions. Whatever can
be Zone by habit. desires and DISPOSE
tons will be powerful in the choice,
which. being repeated, forms habirs.
1t is the change of the wish which
is the hope and the despair of philos-
cohers. The hope, because if that
were accomplished all else would fol-
low; the despair, because. though we
can do all else, the change of the de-
sire and of the disposition eludes Us

Grover Cleveland was si%xty-nine
years old on Sunday. But he is still
young, his mind is strong and power
full, and his old heart still beats true
to his people and his faith. Today he
is finding comfort in the warm sun
shine of the south, among those who
ought to love him and who should
ever be ashamed Of the vicious, the
unjust and the u~nwarranted attacks
which were made upon him by the
demagogues who abound in this glori-
Gus section Of the world. This news
paper does not believe in hero-wOrship
but it has a greater admiration for
Grover Cleveland than for any man in
public life a generation. There Is not
a southern man who can give a reason
able explanation of why Mr.. Cleveland
was hated: there is not a southern
mar who can question his integrity or
assail his motives and his deeds
