AFFAIRS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

'A PROCLAMATION BY AGUINALDO.

[From our Own Corrispondent.]

MANILA, October 9th.

A proclamation has just been issued by Aguinaldo from Tarlac to the Philippine army and people. It reached Manila two days ago, just after the return of General Alejandrino, who brought in the letter containing peace pro- posals from Aguinaldo which was returned unopened. Aguinaldo has disbanded a portion of his troops in the north and sent them back. to their homes and in his proclamation he tells them to be peaceful when they return so as ensure non-interference from the Americans. In part the proclamation is believed to be the purport of the letter which General Otis refused to receive from General Alejandrino. Copies were sent to all the foreign consuls in Manila, by whom he wishes no doubt to be recognized The document is printed in Spanish and bears the seal of the Filipino Government. Following is a translation of the principal passages --

"Our government does not now require any very large number of troops, but only sufficient to maintain a force in the field and perform other duties. You may, moreover, rest satisfied in the knowledge that our army, which is honoured so much, will not cease its efforts as there are any strangers in the land long trying to enslave the Philippine people. The Philippine army would a thousand times rather die in defence of justice than submit, and, in truth, what is life worth without honour and in slavery? Beautiful it would be after more than three centuries-with our ancient mother Spain, which gave us our civilisation, to let ourselves fall under the domination of strangers who wish to force upon us new manners and sufferings, as, for example, their language: which we would have to become children again to leare. Keep in mind the sari

"On the other ant this war which we are waging against the imperialists is beneficial to to us inasmuch as it enlightens our people and brings out their best points, and the more lives we lose of our beloved brethren in arms the stronger becomes our feeling of patriotism and solidarity.

"But we must not forget that having once become independent we must take care not to promise more than we can perform, as did the Americans on their arrival here, saying they came to benefit and help the oppressed people to make them free and independent and to build up for us a government of our own with a distinctive national day of our own, a binding promise in their own conscience and in the sight of all the great nations.

MUD-FLAT NORTH..

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

TIENTSIN, October 3rd. The expected things that were to have hap pened in Peking have not as yet transpired, and for the moment the most vital question in court circles is, will it rain? Rain is badly needed, as we have had far less than the proper amount this year, and the autumn crops are failing, and the Grund Canal has nearly run dry. The various Members of the Imperial Family have taken it in turns to pray at the various temples in the Capital for min o fail, but the cloudless skies of bluc keep on, though last Friday we had a regular, typical duststorm which should have been followed by showers. As a last resource the Governor of the Imperial Prefecture, Peking, has now been despatched to Hantan-district-in-animated by that famous conuention, that-on-d-Batation of the thenalier Guards was drawn the South of Chili to bring the famous iron tabler kept in the King Dragon Temple there to Peking; when the customary prayers have failed this is the final step taken to induce the rain gods to unbend. What especial virtue attaches to the iron tablet I could not tell you, but I believe it is very ancient. It is as you pro- bably know, the gravest responsibility that the Imperial ruler has, to pray for his people, and the absence of rain is weighing heavily just now in the Palace,

And I call the civilised, warld to witness that the Philippine people and army have not forgotten nor broken the alliance and friend- ship which they made with the representative of the United States that came here, namely, Admiral Dewey, through the medium of the American consuls in Hongkong and Singapore. And so strong is the heart of my people, seeing the Americans tad confidence in our power the people and army of the Philippine cried out with one voice to liberate them immediately, saying:

We don't want and we won't have war against the United States,

The sons of that weighty nation, are our friends and brothers.

"We only defend our recovered incepen. dence against the imperialists and ask for

recognition.

"We therefore give back to the United States her sons that have fallen into our hands because our brothers and friends cannot be our prisoners.

"In face of this unanjinous petition, which agrees with my own feelings, I set the pri soners at liberty, authorising the Secretary of War to return them to General Otis.

The Chinese authorities who remain nominally in control of the place appealed to the Russian officials and volunteered to be responsible for the Japanese that they were not spies, and begged their release and that the Russians would not make trouble out of such a trifle. After some time the men were accordingly released. But they were undoubtedly spies The Chinese here regard their release at the instance of the Chinese as a proof of the good understanding between China and Japan.

In conclusion, I repeat to my compatriots that they should conceal the beauties of the Philippines and the riches of the country in order that the grasping inperialists should not cause us any more trouble, and we shall enjoy overlasting peace.

The Transvaal Crisis, Mr. John Morley, M.P.; addressing a meet- ting of his constituents at Arbroath, said all were agreed that there was a state of things existing in the South African Republic which it was in the highest degree desirable to have put right, but we must so shape our police as to carry with us the friendly judgment of the. Dutch population and not divide the white races. If converted into a Crown Colony the Transvaal would have to be held by force. Ile did not believe there could be a inore in sensate example of human folly than a war which would bring added

burdens. His maxim was patience, not for the sake of South Africa alone, but for our own sake.

A this point we are concerned to kun whether the influenza was in any scuso respon tile for the bronchitis, as eas and effect. If so, why? It is well undertoo, of course, in England, where influenza is so common, that other allments do follow it; yet probably, the majority of us have not settled in our minds the reason for it.

Mr. Asquith, speaking at Leven on and inst Chinese-gth of gth, moon of 25th year of Dr. Gracey, Mr. W. D, Sulton, Capt. T. Hall,

said that every intelligent person in this coun try and in South Africa agreed that the time had come for a definite and permanent settle- ment of the long-standing controversy between the Governinent of the South. African Republic and its immigrant population. No British Li beral could contemplate with satisfaction, a system under which large numbers of our own countrymen were denied some of those civil and political rights which we were occustomed te regard as the necessary equipment of a civi lised community. We deliberately gave back to the Transvaal its autonomy, and we did not desire to resume the gift. Some advance had been made in the direction of the adjustment of the difficulties. His conclusion was that there was nothing in the situation, delicate and even dangerous as it had become, which could not and ought not to be safely solved by firm and prudent diplomacy.
