on the Filipino people, I would take up

Mr. McCuuley visited Manila in Jany.,
in Reurch of health. Of his views there
ho writes : "For u long time I couid not
believe that tliedlvastrouH drift of events
was known to the Washington authori
ties. I wns Inclined to lay the responsi
bility for the increubing perils upon the
military commander directly in charge.
Vol, now it Hceins clear to me that
General Otis did tho work In the main
In literal obedience to his superiors in
America ; thut there it wiib assumed that
the whole right and duty concerning
the future disposition mid control of the
Philippine islands lay in the wishes nnd
will of tho United States; that what tiie
Filipinos themselves might wish need
not be taken into the account in formu
lating plans for their government."
Tho writer had u talk with General
Otis. "Among other things," suid Mr.
McCauley, "Gtnerul Otis expressed re
gret that there was not u better knowl
edge of the situation nmong the Wash
ington legislators than tliero seemed to
be. And he impressed me deeply by hiB
declaration : '1 was ordered to this
poBt from San Francisco. 1 did not be
lieve in tho annexation of these islands
when I came here, nor do I believe in
their annexation now.'
I also had tho privilegoof a conversa
tion with Admirul Dewey," tho writer
says, nnd gives this version of it : "Dewey
spoke much of his concern over the turn
flairs hud taken und added that he was
'powerless to act.' Yet in one point in
liis remurks he declared : 'Rather than
make a war of conquest on these people
I would up anchor und sail out of the
harbor.' "
Mr. McCuuley says ho wrote President
McKiuley, whom he met in Washington,
ii'gnrding the situation and predicting
the outbreak which lias since occurred.

l!i IT RIGHT
Kur an Kclltor to Ki-uoiniiieiiil I'atcnt
Medicine'.'
From Sylvan Vnlley News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may be n question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chauiberlain'e Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family lor
twenty years and haye alwayB found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while u physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
uny medicine for u cure, but we do
believe tout if u bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy wns kept on hand
and administered ut the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
nnd in very many cases tho presence of
u physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience
during tlio past twenty years. For sale
