Assessments were made at the ratio of $3 to each $20 salary. There has been some republican rascals at the state capitol, but never in their palmist days did they assess servant girls to enrry on a campaign. --- The statement comes from Manila that Aguinaldo has issued u procla- j matiou announcing that the Ameri- i can cougress will meet in December ; to decide whether “the imperialist I policy” and “this bloody work” will tie continued.
