IT WILL K Effl
Establishment of American
Rule In the Philippines.
A MONASTIC COLON/
Revolutionary Sentiment Due to
Incomplete Education of the
Natives.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 19. —A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says: One of the best
informed men in Spain on the Philippine
Archipelago, having lived in the Philip
pines for a Jong time -and being personally
fccquainted With the leaders of the present
Insurrection, thinks the Americans will not
meet witli much difficulty in establishing
their dominon over the archipelago.
In regard to the monks, of whom he
Kpake without animosity, he thought they
constituted a power in the country whicn
could be utilized, but their sphere of action
should be limited to purely refligious and
moral functions.
“Spain,” he *aid, “has not lost much in
losing the Philippines. Instead of a Span
ish coloney it was a monastic coloney, 'the
enoromuH profits of which went to Rome
into the hands of cheifs of various
orders which exploited the archipelago.
“There are many who think that the or
igin of all the insurrection of the Tagalos
was the crea'tion of the monks of the uni
versatien at (Manila, which distributed
every year a great qauntity of diplomas
to the natives, who thus regared them
selves as young literary men, but who had.
more arrogance than knowledge. The
monks fiFled the empty heads of the Taga
loe with the theory of Roman law and the
philosophy of St. Augustine and St.
Thomas.
Secret lodges and Spanish liberal Demo
cratic newspapers quickly transformed this
kind of learning into revolutionary aspi
rations and protests agains't an insupport
able theoretic denomination. It is very
probable that new schools of the arts and
crafts or agriculture would have produced
absolutely the contrary results.

UMS
Bankers Do Not Think it Will
Be Made
’ MONEY IS PLENTIFUL
But Our Financiers Do Not Knew
of the Guaaantees of Rus
sia.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 19.—A number of Chicago
bankers and financiers have been inter
viewed in relation to the reported appli
cation of one of the European powers for
a heavy loan in the United States.
Isaac G. Lombard, president of the
American National Bank, said: “I hardly
think that his country will make a loan
1 to Russia, at least not a large one. There
is surplus money here, but not enough 10
warrant a large national loan. America
has made many foreign loans hut not to
governments. Rates here are about as
low as anywhere <at pre>sent.”
Ernest A. Hamill, president of the Com
-1 mercial National bank, said: “There is no
question but that this country is beconrng
so rich that its surplus money will seek
investment abroad. The balances in its
favor are growing larger and it is accum
ulating wealth at a rate that is unprece
dented. Money, consequently, is easier
here than elsewhere. For this reacon,
though, proposition of making a loan to a
foreign government is unpreieJented in
this country, i; seems natural and o’.ic
gether probable. ‘ln case such a loan is
made Chicago is in a position to»jhcv'(Je
a coiside uo’e share of it.’’ •
“There is no doubt but that if Russia
wants a loan this would be the natural
place to seek it,” said J. B. Forgan, vice
president of she First National bank. The
New York last week added $10,61'0,-
000 to their 'accumulated surplus an 1 the
Chicago banks $5,000,000. Some of the
Mexican states are now taking steps to
borrow in the country. 1 have no knowl
edge beyond the newspaper reports that
Russia is about to secure a loan anywhere,
and I comment that the truth of the re
port w’ould be mere conjecture.”
John C. Black, president of the Conti
nental National bank, said: “It is as sure
to come as 'tomorrow that America will
become a great money lending nation like
England and the greater nations of the
old world. The United States is accumu
lating wealth twice as fast as any other
country. It would occasion no surprise
should it be reported that Russia was
seeking a loan in England or France and
should not in the case of this report that
Russia may seek a loan in America.’’
■Charles L. Hutchinson, vice president of
the Commercial Exchange National bank, j
said: “The report that Russia is seeking a ■
loan in this country may be true, but to I
me it seems improbable. The mere start- j
ing pf such a report indicates a change in i
the financial status of the country among
nations of the world.”
Elbridge J.. Keith, president of the Met
ropolitan National bank, said: “The idea
of the United States making any loan to
Russia does noe keem probable, chiefly be
cause American financiers are not well
enough acquainted with conditions in Rus
sia to warrant them in meeting such a
proposition without a great deal of cau
tion. The financial relations have not
been close between the two countries and ‘
the matter appear in a different .
light if England or Germany or France of .
Belgium or any of the countries with I
wiilcH we have a large trade would seek |
to make the loan. Then, too, specie pay- [
ment in Russia is a new thing and there ;
would be questions as to the stability of i
conditions there. But America now has a •
large surplus to its credit due to temper- ■
ary conditions largely in its favor, such as
increased exports and large foreign credit I
balances. But this country has lots of use 1
for its own money in developing its own I
Industries and resources and though there ;
is much American monew abroad, it does |
not seem probable that American capital '
would seek invest ment in any large sums
in Russia.”
GhaufiCey J. Blair, president of the Mer- I
chants’ National bank, said: I know |
nothing about conditions in Russia of the
■probability of that country trying to tie- t
gotiate a government loan in this country
but the conditions of the money market
here are such as to make the story cred
ible.” ' j

PICKPOCKETSINABBED,
Large 'Amount ot Money Found Upon
Them.
Detective Alex Clarke this morning cap
tured four men whom he suspects as pick
pockets and whom he thinks have been
robbing the people here all the morning.
He had the men spotted early in the day
and when the president returned to the
depot and was going to the train men
made their appearance in the crowd. They
soon saw that they were being followed
and made an effort to get away. Three of
them were caught and the other man ran.
Detective Clarks fired two shots at the
fleeing man and he came to a halt and
surrendered. They were placed in the
patrol wagon and carried to the police
station.
They were searched on 1 their arrival
there and over three hundred dollars was
found on their persons. They gave their
names as J. R. Ray, D. V. Norris, Melton
Gillon and William Smith. They had the
money secreted about their persons fn
different places.
It is thought that they are the men who
have been robbing people all along the
president’s trip. Representative King of
Houston county was robbed this morning
just as the Central train came in, but the
thief was captured and the money was re
turned to him. The men will be tried to
morrow morning.
