NOTES

Commenting on the Rockville game, the Tribune says: "The Crawfordsville team is not at all bad. There are several good players in it, and it looks as if they could put up a strong game. They didn't do any harder hitting than Clayton, Buckley and Hudson, of Coxville, but they weie 'up against something1 when they faced the Coxville pitcher. The long driveB were really in favor of Coxville, but Crawfordsville secured the most hits. Many of the spectators thought that Kennedy gave Coxville the worst of the umpiring."

Thest men were in the insurgent camp for some time and being very wealthy they were assessed quite heavily to assist the cause. Gonzalez was offered the position of minister of foreign affairs by Aguinaldo, but declined.

On the subjeot of the Philippines, the governor spoke as follows: "I was among those who did not lieye this country should be pressed into

a. war withi^jppip. I aft)) believe that war puahfe haye. been arerted had it not been i* undue pressure on the part of ..some of the members o€ congress. "The present trouble ht^ ocima ae a natural outgrowth of the other and oar first duty in the premises is to accept the responsibility. It is the extreme of foily to talk of withdrawing our troops from the Philippines at the present

time. We uave certain duties to pw* form one is to suppress insurrection, and to that cud an army large enongh' to do it promptly should be furnished, and the nex is to see to it that as rapidly as possible a stable government for the people of that country is estab*

Thfl "president of the tJnited Stated if tho papers havo quoted him correctly', says that tho Puilippine islands belong to tiiis country by right of purchase aiiii by this is meant that when -the insurrection is suppressed those islands

shall become part of United States te»ritory, and if the policy of the war, while it is in progress, is to be shaped -V to that end, 1 believe a very seriotut mistake may be made. 1 do not think that this country should attempt to attach to itself a territory thousands miles away, and an alien race, that would take centuries to amalgamate with ours. "However, our future polioj^ as to these islands will be settled by the pea-1 pie, aud the present duty of all patri° otic citizens is to warmly support efforts of the administration to suppres^ insurrection and establish peace.'*-*
