Bjcople are now realizing what is meant by a duty of one hundred per cent, on woolen clothing. PoE3is on "The BeautifulSnow" will be consigned to a warm berth In our capacious waste basket. Now that Gomez and his band of followers are pacified, it would seem advisable to get our soldiers out of Cuba before Yellow Jack lays his relentless hand upon them. - It is pretty generally understood that the Populist members of the legislature, with one or two "excepj tions, will vote with the Democrats for the franchise amendments to the constitution. " . While the legislature is engaged in impeaching Judge Norwood for drunkenness it might not be amiss to also institute articles of im peachment -against those judges who befoul the judicial ermine and outrage decency by uttering pro fane oaths from the bench. Judge Norwood's case, is a pathetic one, to 8 ay the least, and he has the sympathy of a large number of people who deplore his weakness. . Zero temperature in many parts of the country have given an up ward impulse to values in many of the markets by curtailing produc tion and shipments and by raising apprehension of injury to crops. The produce markets especially have been stimulated by the par tial suspension of receipts from the interior. The return of mild weather will probably be the sig nal for a quick reaction from price advances predicated upon a tem porary scarcity of supplies. "The Progress of the World," the editorial department of the Review of Reviews, deals this month with the new problems of colonial administration now con fronting the country, with the sen atorial campaigns in the different states, with the polygamy question, with the question of army beef in its bearings on the reorganization of the War Department, with our recent industrial progress, protec tive tariffs, andV the "trusts," and with the month's developments in foreign politics. The action of President McKin ley in urging congress to establish a cable line between our Pacific coast and the Philippines leaves no doubt as to the intention of our goyernment in regard to these isl ands. Despite the fact that there will be a heavy deficiency in gov ernment revenues by the end of the fiscal year, the president is anxious to build a cable thousands of miles long to the Philippines, entailing the expenditure of an immense turn of money. If his policy did not contemplate the permanent oc cupation of the islands it is hardly probable he would recommend so great an undertaking as a Pacific cable. It seems that neither con gress nor president are afraid to make enormous drafts on the treas ury co help the imperial program along. In the February number of the American Monthly Review of Re views the editor seeks to apply the lessons of our national failures in the South during '.the reconstruc tion period following the Civil war to the present problems of a simi lar nature in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. AH is, deduc-. tions are interesting and instruc tive. .He says : "The true way to restore the South to the Union af ter the war was to restore the South to its own people." The same principle applies1 today in the new territories juBt coming un der our control. The editor warns us against a new type of "carpet bagger!' who is threatening to In vade Cuba namely, the franchise grabber, j A large proportion j of space in this number of the Re view is given up to editorial and contributed articles on the manage ment of foreign dependencies. Sylvester Baxter contributes ! an interesting study of the Dutch rule in Java, and Dr. Daniel Dorchester makes a statistical exhibit of the recent drift toward colonial and protectorate government. ILOILO CAPTURED. The Town Shelled by the Pe trel and Baltimore Natives Set Fire to the Houses, Then Fled The American Soldiers Hurry Ashore and Got to Work to Extinguish the . Flames. : , , r J"- ' Manila, Feb. 14, 9.45 "a. m. The United States gun-boat Petrel arrived late last evening with dispatches from Brigadier General Marcus P. Miller, for General Otis, announcing that Iloilo had been taken by the combined military and naval forces on Saturday morning. v General Miller, on receipt of his in structions from Manila, sent native commissioners ashore from the United States transport St. Paul with a com munication for the rebel governor of Iloilo, calling upon him to surrender within a time stated, and warning him not to make a demonstration in the interval.1 The rebels j immediately moved their guns and prepared to de fend their position. Thereupon the Petrel fired two warning guns, the rebels immediately opening fire upon her. The Petrel and the Baltimore then bombarded the town, which the rebels, having set on fire, immediately evacuated. : j American I troops were promptly landed and the fire extinguished in all cases of foreign property, but not; be fore considerable damage had been done. It is believed that-the enemy's loss during the bombardment was heavy ; but no American casualties are reported. j THE AMERICANS TAKE THE TOWN WITH OUT ANY LOSS OF LIFE. j Washington, Feb. 13. 8hortly be fore midnight Adjutant General Cor bin made public the following dis patch from Major General Otis, re porting the capture of the town of Iloilo, by the American forces, under General Miller, on the 11th inst. :V "Manila, Feb. 13. General Miller reports from Iloilo that the town was taken on the 11th inst., and held by the troops. The in surgents were given until the evening of the 11th to surrender, but their hostile action brought on an engage ment during the morning. The insur gents fired the native portion of the town, but there was but little loss of property to foreign inhabitants. No casualties among the United 8tates troops reported. OTIS." A dispatch also came from Admiral Dewey, telling of the capture of ! the city. It was a brief recital of the facts in the case, but it is said contain ed substantially the same information as that sent by General Otis. It was sent to the Navy Department, and is expected to be made public in! the morning. ' ' . Halt Liquors at Army Canteens- Washngton, Feb. 13. The etib committee of the Senate committee on military affairs having in hand the bill for the reorganization t f the army today reported that meas ure to the full committee. A num ber of comparatively unimportant amendment! were made, the most significant being one striking but the House provision abolishing the canteen and substituting the fol lowing for it: "That in the can teens established under regulations of the army no liquors shall be sold except malt liquors and non intoxicating beverages, and this shall apply to all encampments and forts and all premises used ! for military purposes by the United States." Cuba's New Postal System. Washington, February 10. The United States postal system has been adopted in its entirety on the Island of Cuba by a decree promul gated today by- Director of Posts ttatnbone at Havana. The action was urged by Director Rathbone and authorized bv cable bv Post master-General Smith after a full consideration by the president .and cabinet. It is a complete substitu tion of the Spanish postal scheme by the American system and j ap plies to all money order and registry business and stamp sales. It re- duces the letter postage rates to those in use in this country, j The smallest thlnzs mav exert! the greatest influence.
