Thought American coward..

l Not being ready at that moment
 for an extended campaign, the mili- | tary commander of the army of occu
 patton. under the advice of President
 Mckinley, issued a proclamation of amnesty, promising pardon to all who
 would lay down their arms; but a per- | sistent belief in the craven qualities of our soldiers so unframed the pas sions of the insurgents as to rush them headlong to their doom. They flocked to Manila by thousands, each man car | rying A sack. with which to take away his proportionate share of booty when the city should be footed
 These fanatics went into battle be- | lieving they were invulnerable to American bullets. In order to account | for the large numbers. who fell in these onslaughts, they invented a fic- tion to the effect that their fallen braves were only feigning death. and that in a short while they would again appear in the flesh as valiant soldiers, armed from head to foot; in order thereby the better to fight the war of extermination to the foreign dew ils.'
 with s0.0o0 men. rank and file, who were finally put In the field by authority of the United States con gress. the insurrection was crushed and ended within a period of two years. but not until the knightly Lawton was killed at San Mateo and many 8 brave lad had gone to an untimely grave not until the only railroad in Luzon had been destroyed; not until numerous churches, temples. monasteries, con vents palaces, schoolhouses and mu nicipal edifices had been burned, and not until hundreds of the best towns like Iloilo and Albay-in several rich provinces had been wiped out of exis- tence by barbarian bands.
 FilipinOs Apply Torch.
 This havoc was wrought under the insane idea that they were doing the sensible thing to repel invasion. as the Russions did at Moscow. They never thorght of the differing climatic conditions. The Russians burned houses in the dead of winter and in snowstorms in or:or to freeze out Ma poleon and his conquerIng army, and they accomplished thereby the end aim ed at.
 The Filipinos. having applied the torch everywhere in the confident hope of driving out our soldiers, were as- tonished to find that they could sleep in tents or on the ground in the open air without shelter and under tropical skies With fire leading their army. famine and desolati ton followed in their train. That beautiful country was left in sackcIoth and ashes With their own hands they had struck the blow.
 T solemnly declare that our sol diers, both officers and privates, under most trying circumstances. manifested extraordinary clemency. forbearance and moderation. Under the flag they did their duty with patience. courage and humanity. They were villified and abused by persons, either mislnformed or malicious, for alleged acts of injus t,-,.f f.aI by them; for the destruction of proper ty. of which they were guiltless; for the burning of homes, to which the Filipinos themselves set fire. All hon. or to the brave men who unflinchingly upheld the faith. credit and glory of their country in the face of calumny and unmerited detraction!'

the ground that three OF the seven

had been committed at the trial
which were prejudical to the rights OF

not believe Patrick should suffer the
extreme penalty. II Is stated here

MURpo MACKENZIE TELLS
OF LOSS TO STOCkMEN

President ]. X. Grow, of the J. r
Grow Coal & Mining company, OF

He testified that 8. 7. Fulton, assist
ant to President Winchell, of the
Rock Island, holds $4,000 stock in
the Crow company. He admitted

out paying for 1t, but said he received
1t before he became employed by the

Murdo Mackenzie, president OF the
American Live Stock association and
manager of the Matador Land & Cat

ceived many complaints from Colo

the southwest, of financial loss result
ing from shortage of stock cars.
What is the reason for the short
age?" asked the commissioner.
The railroads use cattle cars for
other commodities, replied Macken-

Mackenzie said he had known OF
sheep waiting six and seven weeks
for cars, and finally they were driven
from Albuquerque TO Kansas City In
order to get them to market. This
year the delay is more severe than
ever before.

JUDGE THINKS BEST YET
GOT IN PASSAGE RATES.

Kansas City, Dec. 20.-C. A. Prouty
OF Vermont, member of the interstate
commerce commission, said today:
Il have no doubt that eventually
all the states east of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio will be on a
two cent basis. These changes will
be due to the passage of the rate law.
No man can tell the final effect OF
the rate law until il has been worked
out In the courts. The most import
ant effect of the law has been the re.
ducing of passenger rates east OF
Pittsburg and north of the Ohio river
and in other communities not in the
west, | admit, but in the section men.
TONED the people are already riding
for two cents mile"
Continuing. Mr.. Prouty said: 81
said when the bill passed that the
first effect would be to stop rebates
believe they have been stopped" He
also said that whatever may be the
fate of the law finally, the people will
control the business of rate-making,
and all passengers will pay the same
rate. The square deal will apply;
business will be on cash basis; men
viii pay for riding, and railroads will
pay for services in their interest.

London, Dec. 20.-There will be no
dissolution of parliament as the re-
suit of the action of the house OF
lords in defeating the government ed
ucation bill. Although the rejection
of this main liberal measure of the
session is the most serious rebuff to
| which Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
mans cabinet has been subjected, it
Is not regarded as sufficiently grave
to necessitate an appeal to the coun-
try.
Whether at the present moment the
government could successfully appeal
to the nation on the educational bill
Is question upon which even many
liberals are in great doubt
The only immediate effect of the
step taken by the upper house, there
fore, will be to give an enormous i'm
petus to the radical agitation in fa-
vor of curbing the veto powers of
the peers, and to supply the non
conformists with new guns and am
munition in their fight for the dis
establishment of the church of Eng

FORAKER SAYS PRESIDENT
GUILTY OF USURPATION.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Immediately
after the senate convened today For
aker's resolution looking to an inves-
tigation by the senate of the presi-
dents discharge of three negro COM
panies of the Twenty fifth infantry,
was taken up and Foraker addressed
the senate in its support. He began
by the broad declaration that 'the
president misconceived his constitu-
tional powers when he discharged the
troops, and he also misconceived the
testimony On which his acton was
based
Foraker said that the presidents
constitutional power was simply to
command the army and navy as tine
commander in chief, while to congress
the constitution gives the power to
raise armies and to make rules and
regulations for their government, and
these regulations prescribe that nc
man can be summarily discharged
without the right to be tried; and the
articles of war, he argued. prescribe
minutely how these trials are to be
conducted; and that all punishments
shall be in accordance with the dlrec-
tion of the courts. He cOntended
dtter reading at tenStc from tne ar
ticles of war, that it is inconceivable
that the president should be absolute
ly without restraint The president
he said, stated in his message that
these soldiers were guilty of mutiny
and had been discharged for that
reason. He followed this with the
articles of war as to how the courts
martial should direct their punish
ment. This was all to guard against
autocratic power. Congress, to pro
vide against excessive punishment,
had limited the penalties.
Lodge and Scott Reply.
When Foraker concluded his re-
marks on the negro troops resolution,
he received unanimous consent to
modify his resolution so that it now
directs the senate committee on mil
itary affairs to investigate the cir.
cumstances leading up to the dis
charge OF the negro troops. Lodge
replied briefly to Foraker's speech,
and Scott also spoke. The resolu-
tion Of Foraker goes over without ac-
lion until after the holidays.

SALTON SEA FLOODED cAUS-
Ed BN BREAKING nIkE

Yuma, Ariz., Dec 2O-The breaking
OF the two dikes which caused the
entire Colorado river to again flow in
TO the Salton sea has caused irrepar-
able damage and it is feared that the
governme 1T, LAguna dam irrigation
project will become an impOssibility.
A rough estimate shows that up TO
the present $25,0OO,0O0 damage has
been done. The Southern Pacific rail
road engineers today commenced the
construction of forty miles of road
around the Saltoa sea about fifty feet
above the present line. BY the break
ing Of the dikes thousands of people
have lost their homes and a quarter
OF a million acres OF farming lands

The Evening Citizen.
Toxic, New. 2O.-The question of
the exclusion of Japanese children
from the public schools of San Fran
cisco--or at least of their segregation
has by many been called mere
surface trouble, that would pass on
quickly AID be forgotten.
But that is by no means true. Ii
goes down deeper, and will require
the serious attention of American
people before it can be settled.
For the Japanese spirit is aroused
ead will brook no Sights. The great
success of this people in two wars
within ten years and its amazing
progress in the arts of peace have
awakened a feeling of ambition and
self-confidence which is manifest on
every hand, but which is difficult to
describe.
The best instarice of this spirit
that can think of is presented In
the person of a jinrickisha man in
the employ of Sadazuchi Uchida, who
will be well remembered in the
United States as the Japanese con
sui general in New York City for ten
years.
On Mr.. Uchida's returning to To
kio from New York on a leave OF
absence the jinrickisha man former
l. ly in his employ returned to his SER
vice. This man is tall for Japan
ese, straight and athletic. When the
war with Russia commenced he was
drafted, and he not only participated
in thirty-six engagements, but was
one of thirteen men left alive out OF
his entire company at the siege and
storming of Port Arthur. And for
this fact and a wound he sustained,
he RECEIVED a special decoration and
small pension for life from the gov
erament.
