Taft on Filipino independence.


When the secretary OF war says
that a large majority of the Filipino
voters desire Independence, and
admits that this desire is growing,
he Is not coloring actual conditions
That he has In mind ultimate indie.

only inference one can draw from
his interview. That he gives sup.
port to the statement of Mr.. Bryan
that he is the Great Postponer"
when he practically postponcs this
ultimate end for a generation or
more, does not lessen the fact that
II Is the final end he has In view.
In taking this position, Secretary
Tart comes nearer to Mr. Bryan
and the attitude OF the democratic
party on the Filipino question than
any prominent republican. or even
than he himself has come hereto.
fore. That Mr.. Taft realizes this is
evidenced by his alluslon TO Mr..
Bryan in the interview cited. He
says that he met somebody in the
Philippines who had been told by
somebody else that complete inde-
pendence would be given the Filipi.

ident of the United States. But

Taft, subsequently talked with Mr.
Bryan and found that Mr. Bryan

was bound for Pensacola and would
reach here Sunday. but about II
o'clock the local station was again in
communication with the vessel and,
upon request, asked the vessel if she
was coming mere for Mardi GraS. To
this the operator on the gunbOat re-
piled that his vessel was bound for
Mobile to be present during the Carni-

ton is over the vessel will come 10

SANDERS WILL

FOR CITY MARSHAL.

Frank d. Sanders, at present chief
deputy sheriff, will shortly announce
his candidacy for city marshal. Mr..
Sanders has been frequently 1aer-
TONED in cOnnecnCn with the marshal
ship. ard has been considering the
matter for several days The result
is that he has determined to announce
himself and ask for the support of the
citizens of Pensacola.
The announcement that the chief

siderable interest. and his friends be-

today. The discussion of the army ap

off into the subject of the American
occupation of Cuba, plans for the
equipment of the militia with regula-
ton arms and the proposed authorize
ton to the war department to accept
reduced fares and free transportation
