INCIDENTS OF THE WAR
OF 1898 ARE RECALLED.
Lieut. Martin E. Tew Of this City, Gives Some Interesting Remins
cences From His Services Under the Late General Otis.

creased they began to crowd out
ward into territory held by the
Filipinos.
''The latter protested. Numer-
Gus meetings, councils and parleys
between Filipino officials and Gen.
Otis were held. He did his best
to satisfy them, but he also had to
obey orders from. Washington.
"The American forces were
pushed farther and farther out into
Filipino territory. The protests
grew more vigorous and finally
were accompanied by bitterness
and threats of resistance. Fill
Pine soldiers, fresh from their vic.
tories over the Spaniards, and
American soldiers, eager for a
chance to use their new rifles, faced
each other with flashing eyes. 1t
would require only a spark to fire
the magazine of pent-up passions.
1T came on January 2, 1899. 1t
was in the form of a lengthy mes
sage from Washington to Gen. Otis.
In effect it told the inhabitants of
the islands that they must give up
their republic, abandon all hopes
of nationality and independence and
submit to a policy of benevolent
assimilation
Gen. Otis position at this time
was anything but enviahle. He
had come in touch with many ma
tive leaders and he knew that their
minds were keen and sharp. Their
training under former Spanish
masters had taught them to become
expert in catching the real meaning
of diplomatic language. He knew
that they would at once brush aside
all the smooth verbiage Of the
proclamation and focus their minds
on the word assimilation. To
be assimilated they must first give
up their identity and he swallowed.
He knew that only independence,
and not promises of good govern
ment by foreign power. would
satisfy them. He knew that this
meant war.
He cabled back to Washington,
explaining the situation, but the
substance of the order was not
changed. He only received permis-
sion to alter the wording. The
policy of assimilation had been
decided upon, not by the American
people, but by those in control at
Washington. The die was cast.
On the evening of January 4,
1899, the proclamation was posted
in printed form on the walls and
bill boards of Manila. 1t was de-
cidedIy Spanish in its profusion of
fine language. The Filipinos at
once saw through the diplomatic
phraseology, caught the meaning of
the essage and spread the news
with lightning rapidity all over
the islands. On the next morning
not one of those printed proclama-
tions could be seen anywhere. In
spite of the watchful American pa
trolls every one had been torn down
by angry hands during the night.
Fifty thousand F'ilipinos left Ma
Mia during the following week and
joined their comrades in the work
of throwing up entertainments
around the city, in preparation for

Fusion forces will yet have IL votes,
two more than the necessary MAORI
ty.
Hearst ran a poor race. Once de-
teated In his contest for the mayor.
atty against Mcclellan in 1905, he
went down again with q total Of less
than 10000. as against approximately
24e,000 for Gaynor and $4,000 for
Barnard.
With but SO election districts out of
1878 missing, the total vote Of the
greater city for tho three candidates
was as follows:
Gaynor, 24s,870.
Barnard, 174,399.
Hearst. 148,549.
This gives Gaynor lead Of 7o,47
over Barnard and 95,921 over Hearst.
The features Of the election were
the general absence of disorder and
the rapidity with which the vote was
cast, Notwithstanding the unwieldy
and complicated ballots.
Although many arrests were made
for violation of the election law, the
greater part of these were found to be
due to clerical errors or misunder-
standings. The professional repeater
and the guerilla were chiefly notable
by their absence.
Credit for this satisfactory state Of
affairs was given largely to the new
signature law, put into practice for
the first time in a New York municipal
election. Under this law, every voter
after receiving his ballot is compelled
to write his name and have it COM
pared with tho signature which he
made at the time Of registration.
New York State.
The election throughout the state
for members Of the assembly resulted
in the choice of lower branch of the
legislature having a Republican ma.
jority Of about SO, as compared with
Republican majority of 4S in the
last assembly.
City and town elections were held at
many points with varying results.
Louis Fuhrmann, Dem, was elected
mayor Of Buffalo: James B. McEwan,
Rep. mayor of Albany: Hiram NJ
Edgerton, Rep, reelected mayor of
Rochester; Edward Schoeneck, Rep,
mayor Of Syracuse; Daniel Sheehan,
Dem, mayor of Elmira; DR.. Charles c.
Duryer, Dem, mayor Of Schenectady.
Rhode Island.
The Republicans won a complete
victory in the state election in Rhode
Island, although 1t was an off.year con.
test.
Gov. Aram J. Pothier Of Woon.
socket, Rep, was reelected by a plu.
rality Of about 10000. The whole Re.
publican state ticket and another Re.
publican assembly was chosen. Con.
stitutional amendments calling for
the redistricting Of the state, giving
the governor a veto power and max.
ing the lieutenant governor presiding
officer Of the senate, were approved.
Henry Fletcher. Rep. was rejected
mayor Of Providence by q fairly large
majority.

The recent death of Gen. E. S.
Otis, the first American governor
general of the Philippines, recalled
the fact that Lieut.. Martin E. Tew,
then of the 18th Minnesota Inf,
now of this city, served for time
as his interpreter. He was detailed
for this service after his return
from Lawton's "Northern Expedi-
tion', during which time he served
as Gen. Lawton's scout and inter-
prefer. When called upon by a
Tribune representative for some
Renaissance he gave the following !:
1.-The most talked of men in the
American army during the latter
part of my period Of service in the
Philippines were Otis, the governor
general, and Lawton, commander
in the field. l learned to know
both of these men we'll.
"rhey were opposite types.
Lawton was tall, athletic, active,
magnetic, dashing. He had an up
ward and outward look, touched
with an imaginative power. which
enabled him to see a whole situa-
tion clearly after learning accurate
ly few of the salient facts.
"Otis was shorter in stature.
somewhat stopped in appearance,
wore "sideburns" and glasses, and
l always think of him as bending
over his desk. He was a hard and
conscientious worker, who focused
his tireless mind on details. He
would have done everything that
the American forces in the islands
were expected to do if he could
have found time to accomplish it
all.
The most trying ordeal that
ever fell to the lot of any man came
to Gen. Elwell S. Otis in the last
days Of December, 1898 and the
first days of January, 1899. He
was General in command of the
American army in the Philippines.
The Filipinos had been led to be-
lieve that they would be permitted
to govern themselves like the Gu
bans. They had set up republic,
with headquarters at Malolos.
They had full control over the en-
tire archipelago except the city of
Manila, Cavite and the bay. The
city of 1loilo, a seaport of $4,000
population, and the last stronghold
of the Spaniards, fell into their
hands after a long siege in Deem
Der, 1898.
THE whole land was now at
peace. Agriculture and other
forms of industry began to revive.
Filipino newspapers. daily and
weekly, began to spring up in the
larger centers, each breathing the
joyous and exultant spirit Of a new
national life. The Filipino flag
fioated over city, hamlet and farm
home, and the people were happy
in the belief that now they were at
last free from the presence Of the
foreign invader.
"But though the war with Spain
was over American soldiers con-
tinued to arrive by the shipload.
By the terms Of the protocol, signed
August 13, 1898, only the incorpor-
ated city of Manila belonged to the
Americans, but as their forces in

WHEN THE BODY
POISONS ITSELF
Every Sufferer from Stomach
Trouble Should Know
These Facts.

Like the other organs the stomach
calls upon the blood for strength aud
nourishment to sustain it in its daily
work. If the blood is impure the st0m.
aoh receives a supply loaded with poi
sons, or toxins" as they are called
Thus the body poisOns itself, a process
known by physicians as auto-intOxiCa-
tion," or self poisoning
Oxygen is the element in nature that
will render these poisons harmless anG
transform them chemically so that they
may be cast out by the ordinary pro-
eesses Of the body. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills enable the blood to absorb in large
quantities the oxygen that is in the air
we breathe e1d in this way they combat
the pOiSOns in the blood and enable it 70
restore the digestive organs to health
and strength. The best proof is a cure
like that of MRS, John Knuth, of r +.
