FILIPINos DISCONNECTED.
Reported They Would Welcome a Jap
Invasion of Philippines.

ITHACA. N. Y. July 22-The Filipino
colony at the Cornell Summer School Is
considerably agitated over what some mem
bers of the colony describe as the unrest
among the people Of the Philippines, not
unlike the dissatisfaction that preceded the
outbreak Of hosttlities against Spain. Ac-
cording to these natives Of the oriental
isles, their countrymen quite miserable
under the protection OF the Stars and
Stripes: look back longingly to the days of
Spanish rule. and would welcome a J8pa-
nese invasion that might free them from
American tyranny.

Particularly the latter resented being

United States had taken away the islands
markets with Spain and established a tariff
that precluded the acquisition of other
markets. BY this economic tyranny, he
said more hateful to the Filipnos than the
political and ecclesiastical tyranny of Spain.
the Philippines were threatened with i'm
poverishment
Agacaolia declared that his countrymen
were deeply grateful to the Saaniards who
had given their wards "a thorough and con-
genial civilization" and laid the founda-
tions for an industrial system. Without
this already established ground work the
American program of instruction would
prove a farce" Only during the last ten
years of their rule were the Spaniards other
than beneicent suzerains.
Other influences among the F'iiipinos. who
are here to take Advantage OF the warm
weather school session. indorsed the senti-
ments expressed by Tuason and Agacaolia.

FIGHT FOR DAVIS
TENNIS CUP ABOUT OVER

The Dwight F. Davis international lawn
tennis trophy. in which for tho first time
since 1t was offered America now has no
interest. is about half lost to England. The
doubles match today Is expected to lose it
entirely to the holders. The Australasians
won both their matches on Saturday. the
play being in singles. The British doubles
players. Gore and Roper-Barrett, were de-
feated by the Americans. Behr and Wright,
In the allEngland doubles and subsequent
ly the Australasians defeated the Ameri-
cans. However. that does not of necessity
forecast an Australasian victory in the dou-
bles, although the chances are very good
The Americans beat the Austra,asians the
second time they met.
Assuming, however. that the British also
reverse the result in the doubles and win
today. 1t does not seem either likely or
possible that Roper-Barrett can beat
Brookes. One more match means victory
for the Austraiasians, and then will be left
only the question Of taking the cup back to
the colony leaving 1t In England. Wild
ing beat Roper rBarrett after four sets and
Brookes went through Gore in three sets
Wilding may well defeat Gore anyhow
and Brooks appears certain to defeat the
other British player.

OLD FOOT BALL STAR SAVES GIRL
"Tom" Thorpe, Former Halfback,
Hero at Long Beach.

Hundreds Of spectators along the shore
at Point Lookout. near Long Beach. l.. l..
witnessed a thrilling surf rescue yesterday
when Tom Thorpe, the foot ball star OF
Columbia University plunged into the water
and brought to land the unconscious form
Of Violet Atwood, nineteen years old. OF
Freeport, according to the New York World.
Miss Atwood went to Point Lookout yes
terday for a dip in the surf AS a result of
the storm the night before and a strong
food tide the waves were rolling In high.
Several of Miss Atwood's friends warned
her not to venture. but she laughed at their
fears. The high seas pounding on the shore
proved damper for many who had gone to
the resort for a dip. and when Miss At
wood appeared on the beach there were only
three men In the water, and they were sew
eral hundred yards down the shore
Without a moments hesitation Miss At
wood plunged into the surf. She is a strong
swimmer and for time either swan over
the waves or dtyed throug.. them. Suddenly.
after several successive waves, she was seen
to strike out for the life line. and it was ap-
parent that she was exha usted Just as she
grasped the rope huge comber hurled her
completely over. Before she could regain
her balance several more waves bore down
upon her.
Thorpe, who. with William OConnell. an
other Columbia man. was standing on the
beach, tore of his coat and rushed to the
girls assistance. He fought his way through
the breakers and seized the unconscious
form as it was swept from the life line
For a time it looked though both Thorpe
and the girl would be swept out to sea.
OConnel, however. went to his friends as
sistance. and together they brought Miss
Atwood ashore
After fifteen minutes effort by DR.. Julian
Dean of Brooklyn and Thorpe. Miss At
wood was resuscitated.
