starvation.
They brought the intelligence that
at least three men had persisted

any price.
Practically every house along the
river bank was under water and
many had been toppied into the
stream. The yeast supply has gone,
there was no meat and little fuel.
The livestock persisted almost 70 a

tlemcnt which would clearly fix the
future relations between the United
States ana the Philippines in order
that American capital. now kept out
of the islands by political uncertainty,
might be attracted there for the de-
velopment of natural resources.
1t was the first time the Philippine
leader has come out publicly for any
thing less than complete, immediate
and absolute independence
1T is to the interests of the United
States" Mr.. QuoZon continued. 'to
keep her present trade relations with

products, such as rubber and sugar.
and you want our people to buy your
products. We are your best customers
