Seattle Times.-Word was received
in Seattle lew days ago that the
La Insular Cigar and Cigarette fac
tory Of Manila, which is probably the
best-knoWn concern of it's kind in the
Philippine islands, has just refused an
offer Of 100000 for its business.
The offer was made through the Muir

TO Hon. A. VI. BarettO, manager OF the

and they refused it.

last four years, and came to London
in September, 1908, to study econom-

first struck by the contrast between
the academic interest in woman's
suffrage in America and the lively
character of the movement here, Miss
Paul told this story of her prison life:
Il practiced a hunger strike until
November Il. After that date they
fed me twice a day by force, except
ON one day, when | was too i'll to be
touched I have no complaints against
the Holloway officials. l spent the
whole time in bed, because l refused
to wear prison clothes. Each day l
was wrapped in blankets and taken
to another cell to be fed, the food be-
ing injected through my nostrils.
During this operation the largest
wardress in Holloway sat astride my
knees, holding my shoulders down to
keep me from bending forward. Two
other wardresses sat on either side
and held my arms. Then a towel was
placed around my throat, and one doc
tor from behind forced my head back,
while another doctor put a tube in
my nostril When it reached my
throat my head was pushed forward.
Twice the tube came through my
mouth and | got it between my teeth.
My mouth was then pried open with
an instrument. Sometimes they tied
me to a chair with sheets. Once |
managed to get my hands loose and
snatched the tube, tearing it with my
teeth. | also broke jug, but l didn't

Miss Paul lives alone in London.
Her friend told me with great gusto
how Miss Paul had eluded the vigil
ance of the police at the lord mayors
banquet. 1t seems she and Miss
Amelia Brown, her partner in the es-
capade, dressed as charwomen, went
to the Guild hall at 9 o'clock in the
morning. Every time they met any
one they asked the way to the
kitchen. They had many hair-breath
escapes, and once, seeing a policeman
close at hand, they knelt down to es-
cape notice. In the dark, the police
man actually put his cape on them.
Finally they succeeded in getting to
the gallery overlooking the banqueting
hall.

ton of his refusal to pardon Cannon
and Groce, and of the regularity OF
their condemnations, Zelaya yesterday
exhibited the follow ng kilograms b ?
claimed to have received all dated
Nov. IA:
Confessions by me in my trail are
sufficient proofs Of my voluntary

not exist | limit myself to asking
that your recognized magnanimity be
extended to me, saving my life, i'm

ing you on my word of honor never
again to mix in the political affairs
of the country and Furthermore to
serve your government in all that may
be necessary for the peace Of the re-
public which Estrada, with my humble
collaboration, has in an unfortunate
moment of excitement and madness,
disturbed. My salvation, after being
condemned by law to die, only can be
the work of a big heart Ike yours, to
which l appeal and in which l put
my trust, for the love of my good
mother who will be made happy by
your noble action. Your servant,
Leroy Cannon"
AS you have always been magnan-
imous towards all, 1 pray you in the
name of God to grant me clemency
now that l am in distress. l will re-
main your grateful servant for life.
For Gods sake have pity on me.
Your servant and brother Mason,
"a. w. Groce."
Il reiterate my plea, Mr.. President.
l am guilty as 1 have confessed, but
l promise you, general, never again to
mix in the political affairs of this
country, which 1 love as my own be-
cause my adored wife is a Nicara,
guam. She and my children will be
happy through your magnanimity.
Your servant, Leonard o. Groce."
From the kilograms it appeared
that Cannon understood the language
better than Groce, who made many
grammatical errors. GrOce appealed
to Zelaya as a Mason, using the init
mate form thee, thou" in Span
ish. Zelaya, however, is not a Mason.
