suited in an interview with the gov

his shoes, and had made an impudent
remark.
The governor said he kicked the con-
vict, then taking a broom had given
him a sound thrashing. This act is

They Want Barracks Built at Manila
Instead OF at a Point They Call
Almost inaccessible.

Manila, Jan. 19.-Five chambers Of
commerce have united in a vigorous
protest to President Roosevelt against
the building Of barracks to accommo-
date the coming regiments of United
States troops in the almost inaccessible
bic province of Pampanga. 1t is stated
that if the barracks are built there the
expense of their construction will be
doubled and the transportation of all
supplies will be dependent on the Dagu-
pan railroad.
The chamber of commerce, there

troops be CHARTERED in the outskirts Of
Manila, where the conditions are de-
clared to be healthier and the cost Of
