WHY DEWEY CAPTURED
All Islands Peaceful but Luzon—The
United States In Duty Bound to
Assert Her Authority and
Hold the Islands.
CINCINNATI. July l4.—Bishop J. M.
Thoburn ot‘ the Methodist Episcopal
church, who has spent 40 years as a mis—
sionary, mostly in India. is here with his
family. some of whom are in ill health.
The bishop spent Some time in Manila in
March last and has an intelligent ob-
server of events. lie says Mr 1'e is no
doubt that the outbreak between the
Americans and Filipinos was intended by
- the Filipino leaders to include a general
massacre in the city of Manila. He cited
in proof of this the testimony 111' two Fili-
pino servants who were snunnoned to
service in the army by Agninaldo and
who dared not disobey.

doors that night, as orders had been giv-
en to kill all Europeans found 011 the
:fireets. Another evidence was the find-
2: 1g of 5.000 new knives stored in a Cath-
~ lic church. Only the splendid discipline
of the American troops prevented the
massacre in Manila.
The bishop was in London when the
thrilling .ews of Dewey's victory came.
It was universally understood there, he
said, that it meant the permanent pos-
session ot' the Philippines by the United
States. Asked why Dewey did not leave
Manila after his victory. he said-the
short sightedncss of the 131111111 States
government made it impossible. Dewey
had not coal enough to carry him to the
nearest American coaling station. and he
was bound to take Manila in self de-
fense. The whole history of the present
Philippine situation showed such a nat-
ural and logical and even inevitable
course of events that the United States
is bound to assert its authority there.
Anarchy and assassination, he declares.
would follow the withdrawal of the Unit-
ed States forces. The only trouble lies
in the Luzon island. All the other islands
are peaceful. The bishop thinks the
proper policy of the ['nited States is to
enlist the men of the othei islands. who
are the natu1al enemies Of the inhabit-
ants of Luzon, to fight Aguinaldos s army.

Such a division of. China would bring
untold blessings to the people of that
empire and would advance the civiliza-

clined to discuss the subject from the

the local Grain Shovelers' union objected

the dock inspector appointed by Bishop

ovan was a member of the Freight H1111-
dlers’ union and was Wednesday night

Michael Joyce. a saloon keeper. who by
his callingds debarred from sitting. The
committee 011 credentials took the matter
under consideration and later reported to
the convention unanimously against seat-
ing Donovan. The report was adopted
without debate.
A resolution was; offered and referred
providing that no . local shall order a
strike without first submitting its griev-
ance to the executive council and receiv-

THE SOUTH AND THE EAST.
iditor \Valsh of— Georgia Looks For
Closer Trade Relations.
PHILADELPI—IIA, July 13.—Hon. M.
P. “'11lsh, 111anaging editor of the Au-
gusta (Ga.) Chronicle, has been in the
city the past two days looking into the
national export exposition and confer-
ring with the management with a view
to interesting the south more fully in the
project. Mr. Walsh showed his appreci-
ation of. the objects and the possibilities
of the exposition when the work of pro-
motion was first begun. He has been
that it Oftbrs to the south, especially to
the cotton 111111111t'acturing interests.
which are of greater magnitude in Au-
gusta's territory than anywhere else in
the south, that he has undertaken in
every possible way to awaken southern
interests to its importance.
"I do not know 11l1et11u1 it has occ1‘11-
10d to 1‘011," said Mir IV alsh yesterdm.
“but this is the thst exposition held in
the east since the (leans-1min], and this,
together with the further fact that every
national political convention in recent
years has been held in the west. has had
very much to do with the political alli-
ance that has sprung up between the
south and west. The south and the cast
are natural allies. and I believe that this
fact will be more fully appreciated in
the next year or s.) than ever before. As
much as has been heard of southern de-
velopment I do not believe the people of
the east fully appreciate what is going
on down our way in ti11- creation. of
wealth. I hope. however. that this ex-
port exposition will be taken full advan-
tage of by southern industrial interests
and that it will be the means of bringing
the south and e141 1': intr closer trade rela-
tions while. at the same time putting all
Ame1ican illtell'sts in closer to111h with
the foreign markets of the world."
\Vliite Races in the Tropics.
The Indian Medical Record does not
believe in the acclimatization of the.
white race in the tropics. It holds that
the lowered death rate. in hot countries
is not, an evidence to the contrary, but
rather that it shows it is onl1 after
elab01 ate precautions have been le-ai ned
that. it exists. It IS rather a proof of the.
inability of the 11 hite race to colonize
——that is, to labor and undergo constant
exposure in the tropics. It is absurd
to say, it claims, that a reduced death
rate directlyd ue to the careful 111011]-
ance of every possible exposure is an
evidence that such ex'posure can be env
dured.
Drowned \Vhile Swimming.
PLATTSBURG, N. Y., July 13.—Fred
Merrihue, aged 21 years, was drowned
in the Saranac river here last evening.
He was teaching his 8—year-old brother

was saved by bystanders, who were un-
able to save the other.
