Iaafe, rich sad sway IwMa, has for ages
bee b kattle-grwd races and the
homo f Amp religious meditation and lit
erary ftottvtty.
It -was ooe octipled entirely by that
dark-lmed race whioh yet makes up the
balk 6t its population, especially in the
wrath, where thte race has even preserved
Its language. But About 4000 or 5000 years
ago come claim much earlier a. llght
cocaptexloBed race penetrated into the
pwrtmnila from the Berth, gradually sub
duing and forcing las language upon the
aaoieot inhabitants. That language Is
yet preserved in the early hymns sung
by the Invaders when occupying the river
boota of the Indu and in many later
ZBoomnenta of a growing literature. Its
early name, possibly, was Aria, although
this to not certain. But when one o He
dialects, coming to be the recognized
idiocy of the higher classes and the ve
hicle of literary composition, was brought
under definite rules, that idiom was
called ganskrit (sam-ekrKa, perfect, holy)
as distinguished from the other so-called
Prakrit dialects (pra-krita, common). It
csnttoued to be the living language for
many centuries, until finally it was su
perseded by popular 4Halects. But it has
never yielded Its sway as the language of
learned Intercourse in India, being yet
used as such.
ganskrit is of especial Interest to us for
three reasons. In the first place, it be
longs to that large family of languages,
ordinarily called the Aryan or Indo-European,
which is woken from India
through almost entire Persia, Armenia,
Europe and America, being thus, akin to
our own. In t the second place, representing-by
far the earliest phase of any
Aryan dialect, it reveals, on the whole,
more faithfully than any of them that
early growth of the Aryan language by
composition and Internal change which
has later been gradually obscured and
obliterated, not, indeed, by a process of
decay, as some prefer to call It, but by
a process of fusion ever tending to cen
tered strength and simplicity. A del
Its linguistic interest, the transparency
of Sanskrit, by revealing to a large ex
tent the metaphors hidden within the
composite forms of the language, also
lends a peculiar picturoequeivess to Us po
etic expressions. In the third place, Sans
krit contains an abundant literature of
varied historical, philosophical and aes
thetics! Interest.
The Ittg-Veda ("Hymn-Veda," "Sacred
Book of Hymns") is the oldest literary
monument of Sanskrit and of the Aryan
speaking nations. It is a collection of
about M89 hymns and lyrics composed
during centuries and handed down by
faithful tradition from the time the Ary
ans stood on the threshold of India to
the time they were collected into the
hymn material we now possess. These
hymns. Invoking the gods, extolling heroic
deeds and contemplating the mysteries of
existence, though rarely of a higher or
der, are In part full of life and charm
ing by their naive and objective simplic
ity, but also in part utterly trivial and
uninteresting. They show the invaders to
have been a vigorous semi-barbaric peo
ple, loving life and Its enjoyments, but
also tmbuer with those deeply religious
tendencies which later .took such a pro
digious development, leading to the loft
les speculations on the one hand and to
the most degrading superstitions on the
other. Their religious conceptions were
based on nature worship. Struck with
wonder or awe by the mysterious- phe
nomena of nature, they conceived be
hind them living powers, which, being per
eonMed, became their gods.
The beaming sun (Surya, akin to Latin
Sol) was Joyfully hailed by the singer
L, M; Is):
Te morning ra-a already bring

Per every being to behold.

Bat more than anything the peel r '
flash of thunder stirred the soul of the
beholder. That was the might' Indra (the
etoud-compelUng Seus of the Greeks, the
Thor of the Scandinavians) crushing with
Mesteg bolts the cloud demon and his
dark cloud cavern, thus compelling the
downpour of abundant showers, and
drinking strength for his deeds out of
the- exhilarating soma Juice prepared by
the mvoker (1., tt):

To propitiate the god6 the singing of
these hymns was early accompanied by
simple sacrificial ceremonies, which grad
ually became ever more complicated. And
around thorn grew up a priestly caste,
the Brahmans (originally brahman, "per
former of the prayer," from brahman,
prayer"), whose Influence deeply affected
the destinies of India.
Stmh were the beginnings of the Brata
maotoal religion. More than WW years
of speculation, expressed in numerous the
ological and philosophical works, are in
cluded In the Brahmahlc literature, grad
ual!' evolving out of early polytheism the
cone option of one universal power, finally
merging into pantheism. The germs of a
unlttag conception may be traced already
In some of the Vedic hymns. But it found
foil expression only In such later works,
eapeetatty la the so-called Upanishads
('teachings'). To the speculative Hindu
the material world was then but an eman
ation of the spiritual. It had come from
the supreme soul (Atmaa) "as the wave
of the river from Its source," "as the
spark from the name." and It was destined
onoe to return unto it. Man when cleansed
from the slime of Ignorance was to be
reunited with the eternal soul. Until then

great Influence upon the spiritual life of
the Hindus. It represents the teachings
of God incarnate to a human prince. The
object of life, he says. Is the attainment
of true knowledge, which Is a beatific vis-
Ion of the supreme being. "Having known
even him, man attains to deathlessness.
There Is no other way (Cf. the scriptures,
"And there is life eternal, that they might
know thee, the only true God," etc.)
Those who do not gain such knowledge
remain fettered to material existence by
repeated births and deaths. But who,
then. Is he, that supreme being? Says the
Incarnate Lord (vIL, 60.):
I am the origin and end
Of all this changeful universe.
There is. O hero, naught beyond!
For all Is strung on Me alone,
As are the beads upon the thread.
I am the freshness of the waters.
The splendor of the sun and moon,
The essence of the holy writ.
The sound of sounds, the man In men.
I am the life of life, O prince.
All true devotion's centered power.
All beings' seed am I, the strength.
The wisdom of the strong and wise!
And how, then, are mortals to know him?
Says again the divine teacher (xll., 6ff.):
Lo, those who worship Me alone, .
Committing all their acts to Me,
Regarding Me their aim and end,
And thinking above all of Me,
Their hearts, O prince, do dwell In Me,,
And I to them shall be, forsooth,
A savior from the surging flood
Of death and migratory lire.
Thus the whole teaching of the Bha-gavad-Glta
Is to fix our soul upon the Lord,
to the exclusion of all things tending to
draw us from him. Not that we should
neglect our duties In life, but that these
should be sanctified by recognizing all
blessings as faint rays of him "who is-' the
life of life, the splendor of the sun and
moon."
Out of Brahmanlsm grew Buddhism as
a reform faith. 'Its tenets were expressed
in Pall, a sister dialect of Sanskrit The
sweetness of many of Its teachings may be
Inferred from a few quotations of the
words attributed to Buddha himself In one
of the canons of Buddhism, the Dhamma
paden ("Virtue's Way," translated by Max
Muller, "Sacred Books of the East"):
"Hatred Is never conquered by hatred;
hatred is conquered by love."
"Let man overcome anger by love; let
him overcome evil by good; let him over
come the greedy by liberality, the liar
by truth."
"As the vassika plant sheds its withered
flowers, men should shed -passion and
hatred."
"Him I call indeed a pious man who is
tolerant with the Intolerant, mild with
fault-finders and free from passion among
the passionate." .
"If a man conquer In battle a thousand
time thousand men, and if another con
quer himself, he is the greatest of the
conquerors."
But Hindu literature, though largely re
ligious and philosophical, is also In no
small degree secular, even If then usually
permeated by religious conceptions. The
Hindu possesses at least two great epics,
of which one, the Mahabharata ("the great
Bharata war") Is the most famous. This
huge epic of about 200,000 verse-lines de
scribes the contest between two royal fam
ilies, both descendants of Bharata. But
being the production, not of one man, but
of successive ages, the chief narrative,
probably rooted In a simpler one of histori
cal foundation, is interwoven with numer
ous unallen episodes, breaking the chain
of events and filling by far the larger part
of the epic.
Lyric poetry, also, found rich expression
In Sanskrit Among larger lyric poems of
I recognized worth, the mpst celebrated Is
megaa uuia i rue uioua .aiessenger.
Translated by H. W. Wilson, London,
1814). This poem, composed by the great
dramatist, Kalldasa, who Is supposed to
have lived In the early part of the sixth
century, A. D., is really overcharged with
strking poetic Imagery.
Strange as it may seem, India Is yet
more famed for Its dramatic than for its
lyric and epic poetry. Among the dramatic
poets Kalldasa the author of "The Cloud
Messenger," stands foremost, and "Sha
kuntala," the gem of Indian dramatic com
position, and one of the great world poems,
Is his masterpiece.
When first made known to Europe more
than a century ago, it was hailed with
expressions of unreserved admiration by
the foremost literary men. Humboldt salJ
that "Tenderness In the expression of
feelings and richness In creative fancy
have assigned Kalldasa hte lofty place
Among all poets of all nations."
Only some salient works of the Sanskrit
literature have been touched upon in this
necessarily brief sketch. They may suf
fice, however, to show that this literature,
among much that is valueless from an aes
thetic point of view, also contains works
of no small merit It may be true that
even the best Hindu poetry contains ele
ments that are at times offensive to our
aesthctlcal taste: gorgeous colorings to the
neglect of finer shades, grotesque leaps
of Imagination and supernatural Invention.
But after all, no literary work of a re
mote time or a foreign civilization can be
appreciated without that degree of general
literary culture and broadness of spirit
which will enable us to discover real
beauty even through the veil of unfamiliar
Ideas and associations. It may be true
also that our superior culture provides for
poetic forms that were beyond the Hindu.
As our knowledge ripens Into a better un
derstanding of the secrets of nature, of
society and of religion, not only our store
of words, but all kinds of expression are
wonderfully enriched. How could the an
cient Hindu, with his limitations, have
framed a figure like Longfellow's "The
clock kept time with the revolving
spheres," or Coleridge's "There are errors
which no wie man will treat with rude
ness while there is a possibility that they
may be the refraction of some great truth
below the horizon?" But where poetic
expressions are suggested by a more imme
diate observation, by first impressions
from external forms and ordinary human
conditions, the Indian muse is, In her bet
ter moods, nowise unworthy of her west
ern sister, besides having a peculiar charm
of her own. Perhaps in all the wide world's
literature there Is not a womanly charac
ter more charming for pure, delicate ten
derness and devotion than are Ttemayantl
and Shakuntala.

A ReiunrUable Christening.
PORTLAND, Feb. 20. (To the Editor.)
The communication in yesterday's Ore
gonian from my old Catholic friend and
brother, Frank Davey. brings to mind
the baptism of the big Union gun at Fort
Corcoran. June. 1S5L by an Irish Cath
olic priest. Rev. Father Mooney. If the
eye of any member of the old Sixty
ninth New York volunteers should fall
upon this, he will, no doubt recall Father
Mooney and tho remarkable christening.
"Gentlemen: It is with more than ordi
nary pleasure I come forward to perform
a ceremony which is not only pleasing to
us all, but highly honorable. I may say
a welcome prerogative to me, on this
auspicious occasion and that Is the chris
tening of the noble gun here on Fort Cor
coran. In the kind providence of God It
has been for me as a priest to baptize
many a fine blue-eyed babe, but never
had I brought "before me such a large,
quiet healthy lad as this one Is. Indeed,
I may remark, it has often occurred when
pouring the water on the child's head, he
opened his eyes and got a little more of
tho baptismal water than he wished, but
upon this occasion this noble son of a
groat father has his mouth open, evident
ly indicating that he is anxious to speak
about something, which I have no doubt
he soon will do. to the Joy of his friends
and the terror of his enemies. I need not
tell you that a mbst appropriate name
has been given him, and tha't it Is that
of your gallant commander. Colonel
Hunter. Therefore, thi3 lusty youth will
henceforth answer to his name the
"Hunter gun.
"Now, my friends, you all know how1
anxious friends listen to the first lisping
of infant lips, and especially does the
mother's heart swell with Joy when she
catches the first utterance of her cher
ished babe in the woods, 'Mama, mama!'
but I promise you this lad shall first say
'Papa, papa, papa!' and that voice shall
be as sweet music to all the household
of Columbia, and a most horrible wail to
all traitors; and thus may he soon and
ever speak to the glory of the Stars and
Stripes, and to the lasting honor of the
old Sixty-ninth New York."

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Present Troubles Dae to Past
Care-
Icssness.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. President T. C
Mendenhall, of the Worcester, Mass., poly
technic institute, formerly head of the
United States geological survey, delivered
a lecture last night in Chlckering hall be
fore the Army Geographical Society on
"The Alaska Boundary." In 1S92, Dr. Men
denhall was a member of the commission
that surveyed the line which this country
contends divides Its northern possessions
.from the Canadian Northwest territory.
He said:
"We are exceedingly lax In accurately
fixing our boundaries, and in our disputes
over them naturally with England on
the whole we have lost The trouble has
been lack of diplomatic training and the
difference of the people, In 1867, when we
bought Alaska from Russia, the same lan
guage was used In the treaty as In that
between Great Britain and Russia in 1825,
and It Is ambiguous. The boundary of
Lower Alaska was to run from the sum
mit of mountain ranges parallel with the
coast, never more than 10 marine leagues,
or about 35 statute miles, from the coast
There Is no range of parallel mountains,
so the line must be located by leagues.
"Great. Britain has contended that the
coast means the coast of the islands. In
that case she would have all of the coast
line. Lately she has given up that claim,
but seeks to get a harbor, most prob
ably Pyramid harbor. There, I personally
believe, she wishes to secure a naval
base. Already she has in Esqui
mault, on Vancouver island, one of
the strongest stations, in the world; far.
ahead of anything we have. Should she
control Southeastern Alaska through An
other naval key, sho would have chief
command of the Pacific.
"Lately both nations have been too busy
with more important Immediate troubles,
but within a few years the Alaska bound
ary question will have to be settled. I
hope the American people will not from
sentimental or any other reasons, sur
render what is theirs by right, and what,
until the presence of precious metals In
the region was discovered, they possessed
without dispute. But If they submit It to
arbitration they will again lose valuable
territory, for they will have to contend
against men of the highest diplomatic
training, the most faithful devotion to
duty that the world has yet known, and
mon who, when their nation's trade is at
stake, are absolutely regardless 6f every
principle of honesty, Justice and inter
national law."

Intimidation of Voters.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. 20 In the cases of
several persons arrested at the recent
state election for alleged intimidation of
negro voters, Judge Evans, In the United
States court, overruled the demurrer of
the defendants, which brought Into ques
tion the Jurisdiction of the federal court.
Judge Evans held that congress passed
section 5507 of the United States statutes
to protect the colored people In their right
of suffrage, and section 55CS was passed
to prevent persons from conspiring to in
jure and oppress, thus insuring this class
of voters the free exercise of their right
of franchise; that congress had the power
to pass such laws as the only real guar
antee of liberty, and that it was the duty
of the court to see that the provisions of
the statutes were enforced.

WAR OF CORRESPONDENTS
THE AXGLO-EOBR STRUGGLE IS SOT
MORE PIERCE.
Normnn-French Irishmen, With. An
cestral Standing; in Liberty's
Cause, HIjts Several Heads.
SALEM, Feb. 19. (To the Editor.) The
discussion of the AngIoBoer war has as
sumed many and varied phases, and all
that has been written on the subject, I
am sure, has been productive of much
good. It has caused the people to reflect
upon and consider fully the rights of the
English and the Boers in South Africa.
It has caused them to consider England's
treatment of America and the reasons why
England undertook to assume control of
the American colonies, and endeavor to
drive our commerce from the seas, which
led to the war of 1S12. England's v.clou3
treatment of Ireland has again been called
to the attention of the American people.
The causes which prompted Wallace and
Bruce In Scotland to defend their homes
against England's avaricious spirit have
been rehearsed again, and the searchlight
of Investigation has been centered upon
her unjust usurpations In South Africa,
and her efforts to crush the Boers in the
name of civilization.
The letter of Mr. Irvine, in a recent issue
of your paper, was a discussion by him
of matters Involved from an English
standpoint, and, while he Is wrong and
his opinions are due largely to environ
ment, yet I am not disposed to criticise
him harshly. Since he is a relative of
John Mltchel, one of Ireland's most gifted
sons, I am disposed to overlook some
mistakes he has made. John Mltchel was
convicted by the English government of
treason-felony, and was one of the "foul
mouthed agitators" to whom h thought
lessly alludes. Mr. Mltchel came upon
the scene In Ireland's history when she
lay prostrate and bleeding from every
pore. He espoused the cause of hl3 coun
trymen and helped keep alive the spirit
of patriotism when It seemed as It the
genius of liberty were about to forsake
the land where the people had so long
treasured it with a devotion unparalleled
in the history of the world. When the
ship sailed for Bermuda, where John
Mltchel was banished by the English gov
ernment, it carried away one of God's
noblemen, who gave his all and sacrificed
every Interest for his country. While he
would be considered a "spalpeen," "Igno
ramus" and "mongrel" by the official class
In Ireland, and their hangers-on and de
pendents, yet he was an educated and cul
tured gentleman, and one of the truest
and bravest qf that brilliant galaxy of men
known as the "Young Ireland party."
When I consider what Mr. Irvine's dis
tinguished relative has done for Ireland, I
attribute his statements to a lack of
knowledge of the history of Ireland and
his pro-English education, which he re
ceived at Trinity college, although there
were some men who rose above their
education received there, and became ar
dent patriots of Ireland.
As to your correspondent. Mr. Creagh,
I was somewhat astonished, as well as
'grieved, with his letter of February 16. He
can rest assured I entertain no Ill-will
or hatred towards him or any individual
Englishman, many of whom are good per
sonal friends of mine. It Is the English
system of government which I condemn.
I regret exceedingly that a person who
claims to be descended from the Illustrious
O'Nells should have his name changed
and Anglicized .Into Creagh. I pity as
well as condemn this weakness of char
acter While he has enlarged his vocabu
lary of epithets, which he uses since his
first letter, and calls me a "spalpeen,"
"Ignoramus" and "mongrel." yet my name
on either side of my family has never
been Anglicized. My father's and mother's
people have ever opposed the tyranny of
England, and, while my name was of Norman-French
origin, yet the owners of It.
after their settlement in Ireland, became
"more Irish than- the Irish themselves,"
and their conduct, when the people of
Wexford rose In 1798 to protect their
homes and defend their rights against the
usurpations of England, gives me a stand
ing In the cause of liberty that your cor
respondent cannot claim. They have been
In sympathy with tho hopes and aspira
tions of the Irish people since that date.
A man who will change his name from
that of the accomplished and princely
Hugh O'Neil. and rejoice in that fact,
lacks the elements of manhood that are
necessary to make an Irish patriot It is
regrettable that such Is the case, and
that he never was duly appreciated by the
English until he learned to betray the
principles of the Irish peopTe. While he
"boasts of his ancestors being at the siege
or Limerick ana assisting the besieged. I
am of the opinion that they were en
deavoring to destroy Sarsfield and his
brave men. If It were not so, if he had
the true metal In his composition, he
would have nothing but condemnation for
the treachery of the English government
that violated the treaty of Limerick and
lmmedlatfly set about enforcing the nenal
laws with a severity and flendishness
never before witnessed. It was from th's
time, he claims, his name was changed,
showing that his ancestors proved them
selves unworthy In every way of being
freemen and worthy of liberty.
When I visited Ireland, I d'd so with
the idea of studying the Irish people.
Outside of railroad travel I traveled more
than 200 miles by Jingle and Jaunting car
away from the railroad line, and had abun
dant opportunity to examine into the sur
roundings of the tenant farmers, and
what I stated as to their condition In my
letter of the 8th of February was true.
The Irish people have never submitted to
the robbery of their land; they have never
acquiesced in It. Since England robbed
them of it, why did she not long ago di
vide up the land and create a tenant pro
prietary, as in France and Belgium, there
by makinar a prosperous and contented
people? Why has she not granted con
cessions and redresses, to which the peo
ple were Justly entitled, after the long
series of confiscations and repressive meas
ures to which they were subjected?
Your correspondent gleefully rpfers to
the abolishment of the Irish parliament
Does this degenerate son of Erin know
that while the Irish parliament was In ex
istence the manufactures of Ireland flour
ished and great was the prosperity of the
country? Does this Anglicized counterfeit
Irishman know that after the destruction
of the Irish parliament that Ireland's
woolen Industries were crushed and the
trade of her people destroyed? His state
ment alone in regard to the Irish par
liament shows the manner of man he Is,
and how unworthy to be classed as an
Irishman. Verily, I say, every drop of
blood of the O'Neils, if there ever was
any there, has oozed from his veins, and
there is nothing left but English venom
and spleen. He is one of the class of
"Irish-English" who, if naturalized at all.
swear allegiance to our country with a
mentai reservation. Their idea is there
is no country like England, and Ameri
can civilization Is Inferior In every respect
to so-called Anglo-Saxon civll'zatlon.
Your correspondent does not seem, to
realize that the same spirit that has ani
mated England In her dealings with the
Boers, under the pretense of civilizing
these brave people, was the same spirit
which prompted her to tindertake to civ
ilize the colonies by exciting the Ameri
can Indians to massacre our people; "that
endeavored to enforce her commercial
supremacy upon the colonists and im
pressed our seamen, and caused us to
thrash her a second time In 1812. Does he
recall how. in the spirit of her civiliza
tion, she fired upon the Chesapeake and
took American sailors from this vessel,
and murdered American seamen impris
oned in Dartmoor prison in Devonshire?
Does he not know that her refined meth
ods of civilization are condemned by the
world, s'nd, st th present time, as in the

and Avaricious? To tbese who are. power-
ful, she crawls and cringes; the weak and
defenseless she browbeats and threatens.
Your correspondent well knows that Eng
land tried for her own selfish ends to
stir up 111 feelings between the Americans
and Germans, while every one Is familiar
with the fact that the most loyal friends
that America has ever had have been
Americans of German birth and descent
This is what England calls diplomacy; but
what honest men call treachery, and con
demn. As an American, I am proud of my
country, her progress and development
Her civilization Is superior to any other.
Believing In liberty in its purest and beet
sense, my sympathies In this conflict are

INSIDE THE FILIPINO ARMY
View Given by Letters In a Mnnlld
Nevrspaper Recently.'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. As a matter
of fact, little is known of the Inside work
ings of the Filipino army, especially as
viewed from the Insurgent side, but the
following article, taken from one of the
Manila dallies, brings to light some In
teresting facts that are not generally
known:
Tho Progreso Is publishing, under the
heading "Letters From a Prisoner," some
interesting Information regarding the in
ner working of the Insurrection, the Fil
ipino military organization, the press,
Luna's assassination and other matters.
The military organization has been re
formed to some extent since General Lu
na's death. Luna endeavored to concen
trate in the army all the administrative
service, with bad results.
The Philippine army staff, which Is
similar to that of Spain for Spanish ideas
pursue the people as the shadow pursues
the body Is composed of a captain-general
(Senor Emlllo Agulnaldo), two lieutenant-generals
(Senors Mariano Trias
and Baldomero Agulnaldo), four generals
of division (Senors Malvar, Rlcarte, Gar
cia and Belarmlno), and about 24 generals
of brigades.
The territory of Luzon has been divided
into two Teglons, northern and southern,
both being directed from the central gov
ernment As communication between the
north and the southern region Is very
difficult, the military governor of this part
Is invested with ample power. When the
war broke out, General Trias was In com
mand of the southern region, but on the
collapse of Mablnl's cabinet, Trias was
appointed secretary of war, and Baldo
mero Agulnaldo took command In the
south. Baldomero's command lasted only
three months, at the end of which Gen
eral Trias returned.
The southern, army consisted of two di
visions, one under General Artemlo Rl
carte, who chief of staff was Zialclta,
and the other, the territorial militia force,
occupied Camarlnes, Albay and Tayabos,
where war had not yet commenced. Gen
eral Belarmlno was in command of this
division.
RIcarte's division, which was - under
Baldomero's Immediate orders, consisted
of veteran troops from the Spanish regi
ments, and they were "brigaded under Gen
erals Callles, Norlel and Malvar.
Several arsenals furnished the soldiers
with ammunition, those establishments be
ing under the direction of a well-organized
commissary, at the head of which
was General Paclano Rlzal, a brother of
the famous doctor, and one of the most
Intelligent of the Filipino generals.
The hospitals In these provinces were
much better than in other provinces.
Agulnaldo made a great mistake in ap
pointing General Pantaleon Garcia to be
his chief of staff, for he Is perhaps the
only Filipino general absolutely lacking In
military talent. Circumstances made him
a ringleader owing to the notoriety he
gained by his cruelties toward the defense
less prisoners in his charge. The army
Is principally composed of infantry; some
artillery, very little cavalry (only the es
corts of the generals and the president's
guard), a regiment of engineers; hospital
corps, and the commissariat corps. Al
most all of these forces are (or were) on
the railway.
The rebel infantry battalions are named
after provinces. In adu'itlon there are six
battalions of fusiliers created by the late
General Luna. The Infantrymen are gen
erally armed with Remington and Mauser
rifles captured from the Spanish army, and
with some single shot Mauser rifles bought
from Hongkong by Agulnaldo.
Tho main body of artillery was in the
neighborhood of Tarlac when the move on
that place was made by the Americans.
It consisted of two Ki-Upp eight-centimeter
guns, three Hontoria six-centimeter
guns, two Maxim guna, three Nordenfelt
25-milllmetre, three Nordenfelt H-milll-metra
guns, and several Colt's guns. All
of these guns were under command of a
Spanish artillery officer. Several foreign
ers are enlisted in the insurgent army,
their work being of great usefulness. There
were two Englishmen In the artillery. One
of them, a captain, probably Captain Law
rence, was a great favorite of Plo del Pilar,
with whom he has always acted. The other
was a lieutenant, who was in charge of
the batteries at Dagupan. Two Germans
were also In command of some forces of
Infantry in the southern region.
SUEZ CANAL REGULATIONS.
Asrreement by. Which Neutrality Is
Guaranteed by All.
The parallel instituted by the terms of
the new treaty between the Suez- and the
proposed Isthmian canal lends interest to
the provisions of the Constantinople con
vention of 1898, on which have been mod
eled the rules for the government of the
new Interoceanic waterway. The Con
stantinople agreement was signed by rep
resentatives of the governments of Great
