Aguinaldo Makes Promise
of National Independence

quietly in Manila the Filipino forces made
themselves masters of the entire island
except Manila. About this time Agui-
naido issued a proclamation IN which he
was bold enough to- promise the Filipinos
national independence. claiming to
speak in behalf of the American govern
ment He also declared himself dictator
and appointed a cabinet.

Paranaque July l. incensed Aguinaldo 10
such degree that he would have at
tackled the Americans at that time but
for his lack of arms and ammunition.
According to the Schurmann report of
1900. he finally decided to await the fall
OF Manila. enter the city with the Amer
lean troops. secure the arms of the Span
ish soldiers, If possible. and then turn
upon the Americans. Meanwhile he
sent 10 the neighboring towns orders for
a passive resistance and for the placing
Of as many obstacles possible III the
way of the American troops.
The second expedition went into camp,
the front toward Manila and about one
hundred yards from the coast near the
place of landing. The camp was called
Camp Dewey. At this time the FilipinOs
Were maintaining lines five miles south Of
Manila and three miles north. The
American troops Immediately put out
line OF outposts extending from the coast
around the camp and eastward TO Pasay
and beyond This move was in command
of Brig. Gen. Anderson. When Gen. Mer
rift arrived the Filipino insurgents were
notified that an attack upon the Span
iards in Manila was contemplated and
that they were expected to retire In or
der that our front could be extended.
This they did with a great deal of reluc-
lance and army officers say that II is not
true, as has been asserted, that there was
any cooperation between the two forces
against the Spaniards.

The HinCkIeV Meeting

The Northern Minnesota De-
velopment Association will meet at
Hinckley, on June 5th and 9th.
Our county will be represented
there with a large delegation, and
everybody is invited to be present
and join in the movement that has
done so much for the northern
section of the state.
Hinckley is a mighty good ex-
ample of the agricultural pos
sibilities of this section of the state.
That part once had the same repu-
tation of worthlessness that was
given to St. Louis county.
It was largely cutover Or stump
land. 1t settled slowly. 1t was in
disrepute. Then came the awful
fire with its horrible toll of lives
and property. 1t was hideous
price, but it cleared the land, I'M
covering the fact that in fertility it
was of the best quality.
Since then settlers have come
rapidly; it has become most pros

strated that land which will grow
pine will grow any kind of farm
products, and it is most fitting that
the organization which is devoted
to the development of this northern
part of the state should meet at the
chief city of this burned over
country. Hinckley itself is the best
evidence possible of the richness of
the country back of it. 1t is worth
seeing; its history is worth know
ing. 1t marks the gradual driving
back of the pine territory in this
state, which at one time extended
to within SO miles of the boundaries
of the Twin Cities.

While the edition of that day,

many pages as we have seen, each

illustrations, a larger number,
probably, than have ever appeared

Great Bean Crop
Harvest Near End

SANTA ANA, Sept. 16-Work of
harvesting the 21,OOO acre bean crop
on the San Joaquin ranches is prac-
tically over.
The yield is not as large as usual
except on irrigated lands. The aver
age is aboue six sacks to the acre in
both black eyes and limas. The light
rainfall this season is responsible for
the decrease in the yield. In finan-
ciai way. however, the prospects are
that the growers will reap almost as
last season. The prices will probap.
ly be better. and the cost of harvest
ing is less, and these two factors will
equalize teh difference in the produc-

Mr.. Gueydan talked very interest

He said that on the delta everything
depends on the boil weevil. This in
sect has made depredations there i'll

The weevil has done serious work
in the delta, where the long staple is
grown, and during recent years the
growers have in a considerable num-
ber turned to short staple product Of
varieties that mature very early and
thus avoid the weevil 1t is the un-

UniOnists Expect Fight.

10y Chiltu fItSS
KALAMAZOO, Mich, Sept. 10
What was expected to develop into
one of the stormiest meetings of the
history of the Michigan Federation OF
Labor got under way here today when
the annual four days convention was
called to order. The Typographical
union was expected to lead a bitter
fight against the proposed reelection
of President Claude O. Taylor, of
Grand Rapids, and Secretary Homer
Waterman, of Kalamazoo, who, the
typos charge with failure to work
for the best interests Of laboring men
they represent. Failure Of the feder-
alton officials to adopt militant
policy in regard to the strike of $4,000
copper miners in Northern Michigan,
was also to be advanced as reason
for their retirement.
Reports submitted today showed
that in twentyfour years Michigan
federation has had as rapid growth
as any state department in the union,
increasing from twenty-five locals in
1889 to $50 in 1913. The convention
will be in session through Friday
when the election of officers is sched-
uled. Many cities today bid for next
years convention which will be the
silver anniversary of the federation.
