ed In constabulary advices from Surf
gao, on the islandn of Mindanao, just
received. Two hundred additional
constabulary have been sent to Surf
gao.
Only four of the party of twenty
three constabulary men, which went

country; we are one people, united by
common interests. There should be
no favorites and no outcasts; no race

adopted these principles because they
are the logical conclusions of our
