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- !at-s 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 case of riot or disturbance. P\X\M\ I* l»l*s (TISFIED.
