Barring some Vel complim references to myself, I| 1 have seen no exaggera- | tions either in regard to our side of the| question or the Filipino’s side. I see no | son why more fairness should have | been shown the Kansas Regiment than | v other, and therefore I must say that | there is no complaint to be made on the | news sent cut from the islands. “The seat of all the trouble at this time 1s the Filiptno junta at Hongkong. This pernicious little body is keeping the war alive. It s In communication with the state, and it supplies Aguinaldo’s army with the kope upon which it lves. It sends out 1eports of fearful disasters to our troops that never occurred; it | imagines all manner of friendly feeling | the world over toward the Filipinos; It assures them of all kinds of outside sup- port, which is entirely without founda- tion, and in this manner keeps their spirit alive. They are busfest just now | circulating reports that the trend of | public opinion in this country s against | the American procedure in ‘the islands. | They are informed by this junta that a | majority of all the States have already pronounced sgainst the policy of the ad- ministration and that they have only to wait until_the next general election, when the United States will grant them their Independence and leave the islands | forever. Of course, such a policy would | be absolutely absurd because, as I have sald, the Flipinos are too ignorant and are thoroughly incapable of self govern-| ment. But still, this kind of campaign- | ing has its effect on the ignorant natives, and they are induced to keep on their campaign. “Aguinaldo himself is shrewd, but not clever. To use slang, he is a great ‘con’ worker. I know of no better term. He circulates and corroborates all that the Junta sends out and adds to it all that | 1is cunning imagination can devise. With him the campaign is a great confidence ame. I cannot see at present just how e will be benefited particularly, but I know_enough of his nature to be certain that he is not working for nothing. He is cruel, vindictive and selfish, and if his people could only be persuaded to accept the truth of the situation they would de- sert him to-morrow. “The very best that the Filipinos could have done for themselves would have « t £ been to accept the terms of the first proclamation issued by General Otis. hose terms were broad and magnani- mous and were all that they could pos- sibly expect. Aguinaldo and the junta made such efforts to misrepresent this proclamation that the natives were sus- picious of it and their great opportunity was lost. But for the misrepresentations of the junta hostilities would never have been commenced, but having been com- menced there is but one way to finish em. “S0 long as those fellows think they have a ghost of a show of holding u their end they will maintain the rebel- lion. But if the American army fight them at every hand, drive them before and completely convince them that it is absolutely useless to prolong a struggle against such overwhelming 0dds then the | the men from | men were among the most vociferous in | their welcomes. | Kinnan, Company G: Frank Mart | will come flocking into our camp and will | r, h no further use for that prince of confldence operato -Aguinaldo.” e KANSAS MEN ASHORE. March Through the Streets and Are Greeted With Cheers. The Tartar docked early yesterday aft- ernoon and discharged its freight of Kan- sans on their native land. In the expectation that the transport would dock earlier in the day, the escort from the Presidio was at the dock long before noon, and it had to wait until near- Iy 2 o'clock before the volunteers were ready to march to the camp. There was delay aftér the transport was made however. The men were rapidly n the wharf, which had been the police, and then the gates ering crowd, each man deco- rated with sunflower badge. em- blematic of the State flower of K ton and Governor Stanley parade and divided the greet- G al ¥ \ open and they marched out | Company L, of the Kansas regiment; George F.

Monday next General Shafter will retire from the regular army as a brigadier gen- eral, but {t is still a question whether or not he will remain as a major general of yolunteers, with the chances greatly I3 his favor.’ There is nothing In the laws governing volunteers which in any way refers to retirement for age, and 8o it is quite within precedent to keep Shafter in harness until volunteer troops have ceased to come and go through this de- fartment. The care of the outgoing and ncoming volunteers has been a matter much more serfous than is generally im- agined, and the fact that there has been no trouble and no delays is due to_the fact that they have been well handled. | It is argued, therefore, that the Govern- ment will not relfeve General Shafter while there is g0 much work for which he is eminently fitted to be done. Dispatches from the East state that several of the older colonels will be raised to the vacant place as brigadler and then retired, their | promotion being In the nature of a reward | for faithful service and to enable them to | retire on the pay of a general instead of | that of a colonel, and that then the va- | cancy will g5 efther to Lawton or Mac- PSP AP SN D DS WO I S D S S SO SN D O SO D GENERAL FUNSTON AND GOVERNOR STANLEY AT THE HEAD OF THE PARADE, s with the men.

The two com- mands are old comrades {n arms: they fought side by side all the from Manila to San Fernando, and the Montana r There was a fine meal awaiting the Kansas men, and they were not slow to make the most of it, for trans- port fare was no better on the Tartar than on any of the other boats. Last evening discipline of the strictly military sort was not in evidence; men were allowed to do about as’ they pleased. As they arrived at camp rather ate In the day any one who wished was ilowed to spend the ni in the city, and many availed them s of this priv- ilege. The others made themselves as comfortable as possible for the night, and to-day they will settle themselves for the three weeks that will elapse before they shall be mustered out, There was not much In the way of ef- fusviegreetings on the way to the camp or on the dock, for all the morning tugs and launches laden with friends and relatives had been going and coming to and from the transport, and every one who knew any one in the régiment had passed the welcome before the ship came to the to the wharf. There {s a month’s pay comin, Xansas men, and they will probngly draw this before they have been many days ashore. The papers of the regiment have been made all ready for the mustering out officers, and there 1s but little to do or to delay matters. The accounts must all go back to Washington, however, and that will take up the time while the regiment 1s walting. The following men from the Tartar were admitted to the general hospital at the Presidlo yesterday: Willlam R. Smith, Walter Sherburne, Company A; Wilson B.

Howell, but it has power to exam- ine any others who may be ordered be- fore it. MANILA LIBRARY. Soldiers Will Be Able to Enjoy a Variety of Good Literature. The Red Cross ladies of San Francisco met last evening in the rooms of Mrs. Gen- eral Greenleaf to prepare the preliminary organization of a committee which will labor to establish a free circulating li- brary in Manila for the use of American s and citizens. sroposition was discussed for two 2d In @ few weeks the first prac- eps for the establishment of a Ma- nila library will be made. Already Mayor Phelan, P. N. Lilienthal, Dr. Robert Mac- kenzie, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Merrill and Hugh Craig have signified their intention of taking an active part in the work. A general committee will be nominated dur- ing the week, and on_October 19 a meet- ing will be called. This committee on Ways and Means will endeavor to enlist the services of all patriotic men and women to furnish literature for the Ma- nila library. The work will be directed by Mrs. Greenleaf, who leaves for Manila on the Hancock. SOLDIERS USED AS CATSPAWS. Unwarranted and Maliclous Suit Against Citizens’ Executive Committee. John E. Talbot and Edward E. Reynolds, claiming to be members of the First California Volunteer Regiment, and W. A. Bourne, who avers that he was a member of Battery A, have filed a sult against the citizens’ executive committee and the flnance committee of the volun- teer_reception for an accounting of the funds. The complaint alleges .hat up- ward of $6).000 was subscribed by the citizens of San Francisco for the recep- tion of the volunteers and for the care and maintenance of the sick and wounded soldiers; that about 320,000 was expended for the purpose, leaving a bal- ance of $40000.

William G. Cowan, who is believed to be a member of a prominent Boston fam- ily, thrown from a horse and pe haps fatally injured la, evening on Mis- slon stree between Fourth and Fifth. Cowan had evidently been horseback rid- | ing all afternoon and as he w ntering along Mission street his steed became frightened by an approaching car and he was thrown forcibly to the pavement. The unfortunate rider landed on the back of his head, sustaining a severe frac- ture of the skull. Cowan was picked up in an unconscious condition and removed to the Receiving Hospital, where Drs. | Dray and Starr removed a button of bone from the injured man's skull. After Cowan had been removed from the operating room he developed symp- toms favorable for his recovery, but the surgeons say his chances of lifé are ex- ceedingly small. Judging from private papers and letters found on the injured man’s person it is evident that Cowan is well connected in the East. In his pocket was found an honorable discharge from the United States army, showing that Cowan erved as sergeant in Troop A of the Second Cavalry during the late war. It was dated Jacksonvill Fla., and was issued on October 24, 1595, Several personal letters postmarked Brattleboro, Vt., and addry ed to Cowan at Denver and Leadville, Colo., were also among his possessions, together with_an_announcement from Attorney Charles C.

DEMOCRAT FOR WARDEN AT THE OLSON PRISON Decision Reached byi Board of Directors. | The vacancy in the office of Wardes, | Folsom State prison, caused by the death | of Charles Aull. is engageing the atten-| tion of the office-seeking fraternity. The | Board of Prison Directors held a meeting | at Folsom day before yesterday and placed Captain Murphy temporarily at the head of affairs at the institution. TI-H‘ temporary appointment does not signify that Captain Murphy will be chosen to| 1 On Saturday next the hoard will meet again and at that time a new Warden | may be elected. At the last meeting the | directors discussed the subject, and while they did not agree to support any can- didate, did reach the definite decision to appoint a Democrat to fill the vacancy. ‘Among the Republican aspirants for the wardenship is Mark Ivory of Byron, who was formerly Sheriff of Contra Costa County. Mr. Ivory also served one term Prison Director, succeeding Charles Sonntag. The determination of the directors to appoint a Democrat to fill the vacancy at Folsom will doubtless cause widespread commotion in Republican circles. The comment is made that Governor Gage may intervene and suggest the appoint- ment of a Republican, There may be in Southern Cal rnia or elsewhere just such another man as Aguirre, who was elected to succeed Hale as Waraen at San Quentin, but if there be one it is hoped that Gage will not produce him as a can- didate. i Mark B. Ivory, who is mentioned as an pirant for the office, is highly spoken of Assemblyman C. M. Belshaw. It is d that Mr. Ivory made a first-clas record as Sheriff of Contra Costa Coun The information comes to The Call from an authentic source that the board has firmly resolved to select a Democrat.
