Manila, Feb. 15. The second city
of the Philippines, Iloilo, was cap
tured by the American forces under
General Miller Saturday without the
loss of a man.
On the morning of Friday, February
10, General Miller sent an ultimatum
to the commander of the rebels on
shore, notifying him that It was the
Intention to take Iloilo, by force if
necessary.
Non-combatants and foreigners were
ordered to leave the town within !
twenty-four hours. The rebels were
also warned that they must make no
further belligerent preparations.
The gunboat Petrel was then moved
to a position close inshore and near the
rebel fort, while the cruiser lloston
took up her station at the other end of
the town.
Friday passed quietly. During the
day many refugees left the town of
Hollo. The majority of them were
taken on board foreign ships lying in
the harbor,
Hearchllghts from the United States
war ships were kept moving all night
long, Illuminating the town and its
defenses. The rebels, so far as the
lookouts upon the ship could discover,
remained quiescent throughout the
night.
At 8 o'clock Saturday morning the
gunboat Petrel signaled to the cruiser
Iioston that the rebels were working
in their trenches. In return the Pet
rel was ordered to fire warning shots
upon ths town from her 5-pounders.
This was done and ths rebels replied
with a harmless fusilade. The Iioston
and the Petrel then bombarded the
rebels' trenohes, completely clearing
them of their occupants In a very short
space of time.
Soon after the bombardment began
flames broke out simultaneously in
various parts of the town. Thereupon
forty-eight marines, acting as infantry
and artillery, were landed from the
cruiser Iioston, and a company was
aent ashore from the gunboat Petrel
These detachments marched straight
into the town of Hollo, and, hoisting
the Stars and Stripes over the fort,
took possession of the place in the
name of the United States.
The capture of the town and its de
fenses having been accomplished, the
marines and soldiers who had been
aent ashore proceeded to the task of
saving the American, English and
German consulates from destruction
by ths fire which was raging among
the frail and inflammable buildings of
the town,
The Swiss consul's residence, which
was in the same row as the consulates
named, was burned. The entire Chi
nese and native sections of the town
were destroyed, but foreign mercan
tile property escaped with slight dam
age, w
There was some desultory firing by
the enemy in the outskirts of Iloilo,
but not an American was injured.
General Miller's force had complete
control of the situation when the gun
boat Petrel sailed from lollo for Ma
nila. The Sixth United States artil
lery regiment occupied a position
commanding both the bridges leading
Into the town, and the Tennessee vol
unteers and Eighteenth United States
infantry were occupying the trenches
that had been constructed by the
rebels.

Nw Yohk, Feb. 13 A dispatch

Major General Otis, commanding
American troops in the Philippines,
said to the correspondent for the

Kapunsn and IMomtn earn down the

in reaching results. Under the treaty
now we are approaching the conclu
sion that the future conduct of affairs
will be much easier, and it is believed
the war will bo concluded with honor
and credit to the United States and to
the permanent benefit of the people of
the Islands."
The most prominent English busi
ness men here say the Filipinos re
ceived a most severe lesson during the'
last week. Were It not that their
military leaders are men who know
they must lose all power once the
fighting is over and consequently are
deceiving the natives into the belief
that they have got the best of the re
cent fighting, theso Englishmen do
not think there would be much trou
ble in bringing the Filipino govern
ment to terms.
In the opinion of English observers
the campaign should bo carried on en
ergetically. NEBRASKA OFFICE UNDER FIRE
Corruption Chnrge Agalnat the Stat
Auditor to He Investigated.
LiNcotJ, Neb , Feb.. 15. When the
Legislature convened this morn
ing a message from the governor
was read in both Houses. It referred
to the charges of corruption in the
state auditor's oflleo made by the
Omaha Pee, and asked that a Joint
commlttco of the two houses be ap
polnicd to investigate, lloth houses
promply adopted the governor's sug
gestion, and a committee was appoint
ed which will immediately take up the
work. The charges were that the
state auditor, J. F, Cornell, through
the medium of the insurance examin
ers of hi oillee, had been guilty of
holding up insurance companies by
charging excessive fees for examina
tions. THE CIGARETTE BILL KILLED,
Kansas Home Members Stood by the

ToPKKA, Kan., Feb. 15. The anti-

JurricHsoN Crnr, Ma, Feb. 15. The
House committee on railroads and in

ed unfavorably on a bill by Williams
of Scott to reduce passenger fares to
two cents a mile. Williams asked the
House to place it on the calondar for
engrossment and said he had not been
given a chance to talk to the commit

lowed, in which Wilson of Hickory,
Tubbs and Kneisley championed the

This is a plan similar tothatwearo

BUNCOED AGAIN.
Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, in an
article la the Congressionalist, points
out one difficulty in the treaty with Spain
to which, so far as we know, publio at
tention has not before been called. It is
found in articles 8 nod 13. The first de
clares that the "relinquishment or ces
sion, as the case may be, to which the
preceding paragraph refers, cannot in
any respect impair the property rights
which by law belong to the peaceful pos
session of property by all kinds of prov
inces, municipalities, public or private
establishments, eclesiastlo or eivio
bodies, or any other associations, and
article 13 declares "the rights of prop
erty m cured by copyrights and patents
by Spnniards in the Island of Cuba and
in Porto itico. the Philippines, and other
ceded territories at, the time of the ex
change or the ratification of this treaty,
shall continue to be respected." It is
matter ol public repute that one princi
pal cause of the revolution of the Filipi
nos against Spanish authority ho been
the control exercised oyer them by mou
astic establishments, and the landed mo
nopoly which the latter enjoyed. Do
theso clauses in the treaty commit ns to
a policy of sustaining this landed mo
nopoly and the consequent power of the
monastic orders? 1 be Outlook.
THE HORROR OF IT.
A monstrous crime has been com
mitted Id the Philippine islands. With
in a stone'a throw, almost, of Dewey's
triumph at Manila, and one of the most
brilliant naval achievements ever re
corded by the peu of man, and which
brought the flush of pride to the cheek
of every American, freemen and men
struggling to be free are weltering in
each other's blood. The soldier of a
country whose declaration of indepen
dence promulgated the doctrine that
"governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" have
met death on ths battlefield with their
faces toward the soldiers of a people
who believe in the same doctrine. And,
oh, the horror of it all! Oraud Island
Democrat.
McKINLKY DID IT.
A long and bloody war Is before us
and that war is uncalled lor and un
necessary. A word from McKioley
thirty days ago, saying that In a
reasonble time the lmleendenc of the
Philippines should be declared, would
have stopped the eff 11-lon ol blood. An
act of congress saymg that those Wands
should be treat ml Just ns Tuba will be
treated, would have saved ten thousand
human lives. Whv didn't ths president
say that word? V..y did eongress no
pies that set? Why did they attempt
to mske political rapital at the coat ol
ao much lihwl and treaeure? The presi

LACK OF CONFIDENCE.
Administration organs complain that
the f ilipinos and Cubans do not show
proper coundence in President McKinley
"Confidence" has been a great game
with republicans. I ney bare prescribed
"confidence" for syery ailment, aud have
doped and duped the American people
with "confidence," while hoarding the
cash tor their own use.
They are not altogether to blame for
their lack of "confidence" in the presi
dent. Even such men as Senator Uoar.
Andrew Carnegie and a large number of
othars of the same kind are developing
a large luck of conOdence, and they are
certainly post masters in the art of dis
pensing the article. -uu tier County

A NATIONAL DISCI RACE.
Imperialism as taught by the McKin
ley administration hits finally brought
the American force at Manila and the
Filipino forces togother in bloody com
bat and a horrible slaughter of human
life is the result.
Men who enlisted to free the Cubans
from Spanish cruelty have been forced
by the Imperialists to slaughter those
who are in revolt against the same
Spanish cruelty in the Philippines.
Liberty loving Americans compelled to
fire upon liberty seeking Filipinos whose
only offense was their desire for iude-
jieiideiice.
I o follow this policy 01 Imperialism

the president is exhibiting bis usual
good good judgment by authorizing
Otis and Dewey to proceed aggressively
and vigorously to stamp out in its in
sipiency all resistance on the part of the
natives. The trouble ia one ol our own
making, but we cannot well crawfish at
this time, and the quicker the Filipinos
are made to understand that we have no
intention of so doing the better it will be
for all concerned. While we do not
favor the slaughter bouse method of
civilizing a people and believe the whole
Philippine trouble could and should
have been averted by the peace commis
sioners, we realize that the United States
Is in a position just now where necessity
seems to justify heroic measures. Wil-

THEY "HOLLERED 'NUFF."
A lot of protection newspapers are
beginning to "boiler nuff" since the
paper trust ha advanced the cost of
print paper almost out of sight. Ibis
"infant industry" needs no more pro
tection than any band of robbers. They
have bought np all water powers, pulp
supplies and aided by our laws are en
abmd to strangle weak competition and
keep out honest foreign competition,
though they go into foreign markets
and undersell them on their own land.
Their big profits go iuto the hand of a
few and is dishonestly drawn from the
many. Oakland Independent.
THEY WOULDN'T WAIT.
The Filipinos want their liberty and
continued encroachments upon their ter
ritory without aoy definite policy an
nounced is suspicious. Tbey are some
thing like the patriots in colonial times,
who did not want to wait until a British
guard was stationed in every house,
and tbey do not want to wait until every
staategio point. garrisoned and
guarded by American soldiers before
they know what the policy is to be
Minden Courier.
NOT A GOOD REASON.
It may be true that we are better able
to govern the Filipinos than tbey are to
govern themselves but that does not jus
tify us any more than It would to com
mence a general war to conquer the re
publicans of South America because
they cannot govern themselves as well
as we could do the job for them. Hutch

ENGLAND'S BUNCO GAME.
The American people are sure to find
out the details of the secret understand
ing between the administration and the
British ministry in regard to the Phil

McKINLEY RESPONSIBLE.
Not many months ago the country
celebrated a peace jubilee, and President
McKinley swung about the circle telling
of our great accession of territory. His
expansion theories raised a regular nor
nets nest about bis ears in the republi
can party. When we examine the mis
takes of the administration, we are not
in the least surprised. The first place,
after bsatiog the Spaniards in battle, we
asic lor peace, and send a commission,
at a cost of about a million of dollars,
to negotiate with the Spaniards (or the
independence of Cuba, which we virtually
naa liberated. 1 his commission, ad vised
by the administration.' gives twenty
million dollars to Spaiu for the Philip
pine islands, soraothiug she did not own
or hold even by force of arms. It would
seem, even to the ordinary mao, that we
were like a lot of babes in the bauds of
Spanish diplomats. The whole trans
action seems rediculou now that war
has broken out when we attempt to take
possesion of the slaves we purchased.
These Filipinos have been fighting aud
struggling for Independence for a cen
tury, aud atl Bpain ever held dominion
over was the ports of entry, and those
we had when Dewey captured the Span
ish duet at Manila. Almost every citi
zen was aware of these facts but the ad
ministration was uot. Two mouths ego
it was known that the Filipinos were
gradually surrounding Manila and that
General Otis had to throw out his lines
to check the advance of the iusurgents.
The First Nebraska led the army in
chucking the advance of the Filipinos,
but there was no necessity for this last
slaughter of brave boys, and President
McKinley is responsible for the murder
of every man that was killed. Fremout
Leader,
FILIPINOS UNREASONABLE,
It seems that we are to have another
war for humanity. After drivhgout
Spain from tbeir colonies, and securing
the Cubans aud Filpinos from Spanish
tyranny we are to complete the transfer
to American rule. It was naturally
feared that the insurgents, after tbeir
long and energetio fight for - freedom,
coupled with a slight acquaintance with
the American Declaration 01 indepen
dence, would rather like the idea of gov
erning tbeir own country. After getting
this Idea in their heads 01 course they
became unreasonable. Tbey could not
see why, since it had not been a part of
the original plan of the united States to
inclnde the Pnilippines in the Spanish
war question, that tbey should be
bought and sold by peace commissions.
Therefore tbey have objected rigorously
to America a domination in spite of our
protests that tbey are unfit to govern
themselves, and our assurance of anx
iety to develope them into good Amer
ican subjects for the benefit and paternal
care of the trusts of this country. We
will give tbem a good drubing and when
tbey beoome submissive, introduce them
to the bour nnd whiskey influence of this
country, the Standard Oil company,
General Alger, and the other necessary
and enjoyable benefits of a freecountry.
It is possible that when tbey nave been
christianized thus far we may send tbem
over a few missionaries. Topeka Advo
