| winning the battle of Manila Bay
and so say we of Vaudeville, who sc
gloriously carried the special school
tax election on last Monday, thus en-
abling the erection of a new school
and the Inauguration of an improv-
ed school system, so long and nrg-
emily needed.

obtained, will conclusively prove to
the few opponents of the measure
that its numerous proponents were
right in all their contentious and

light. .s
