INDEPENDENCE FOR THE
PHILIPPINES..
(From the Special Correspondent. at. Mandia of the “London &
China Express."} \
With the advent of the demseraty to power comes the nows that it is almost a certainty that the Filipinos will soon be granted the independence they so dearly fought and longed for. The Jones probationary 2, which provides for a period of eight years from July 4 next, and fall independence in 1821, should the Filipins prore themselves capable.ed running their own affairs, apparently has the favourable endorsement of Presidout. Elect Woodrow Wilson. On receipt of the news here the local American PresS became hystericul in its denunciation of the measure, while the Filipino Press was as violently hysterical in its elation. The fath has somewhat sinnered down, and gleams of common sense are becoming apparent on both sides, hut a certain un- tecessary bitterness of feeling was engen. dered while tho exchange of cattle ami
judged criticisms was going on. Natur. ally, in a misguided and reckless ink- slinging contest, there is little to be gleaned that is of value to a proper ap- preciatim of the situation, and less than nothing
