Manila. Oct. 6.—Fiery orators will
sreak to a mass meeting of Filipinos
Sunday, called for the purpose of ad­
vocating the independence of the
islands.
The call for the meeting says: "It
would be inexplicable and even im­
proper for the Filipinos to fold their
arms and remain passive at a time
when the very best elements of Amer­
ican society are working ardently in
order that our native land may at­
tain its ambition."
The government is not interfering
with the meeting.
Every educated Filipino.
priest,
former politician and patriot in the
city of Manila and in the vicinity is
on the program for a speech.
It is the first real awakening of
the better class of Filipinos on the
subject of independence and the ar­
dor displayed in the preparations for
the meeting is contagious.
The priesthood is especially jubi­
lant and many of the bishops, pre­
lates and high Catholic officials will
advocate measures of peaceful inde­
pendence as soon as possible.
An extra assignment of troops from
Cavite will be at hand to assist In
