not intended to bj disloyalty to her

trlbtited an Important addition to thn
history of tho surrender of the city of

Admiral Dewey raid emphatically
mnt no never nan recognised Aeiilual

Aguinaldo' liagj bo never called
Aguinaldo "General," but addressed

Spaniards were fearful of tho Filipinos

1005 FAIR WILL BE EXCEPTION.
Its Chances Oood, Though Congreu Oppom
Lite Appropriations.
Washington, Juno 30. When the

$500,000 was allowed Buffalo and near
ly $200,000 allowed Charleston tn n.nV..
up deficiencies as a result of thonxpoiil-
nuiii! iiciu iu tiioso cities, senator ex
pressed tho hope that there never would
bo further aid granted to expositions.
This naturally canned some uneasiness
among Oregon people who hotio to have
liberal provision made for thu lvl
and Claik Centennial. At tho same
tlmo tho mere fact that theuo deficits
were made good will be used as an
argument why tho government should
take an interest in the Lewis and Clark
hxiwsitlon. Alter spondlmr millions
for Chlcago'and St. I.ouI. and bun.
drods of thousands for every other city
In the eaat.that has hold'an exposition,
It la not probablo that congress can turn
it back upon the Lewis and Clark
Centennial. It has not been deemed
advlsablo to press tho matter at this
session, and in that particular very
good Judgmont has been shown. With
U10 action of the senato today, and Hie
provision for the rjt. Louis Exposition
last congress, there Is considerable III
feeling manifested, and it is better to
have it wear away before any attempt
Is mado to secure an appropriation for
the coming celebration on tho Pacific
coast.
