GOV. TAFT TALKS OF FOUR ROBBERS LOOT
PHILLIPINE ISLANDS
Explains How Peace Can Be
Maintained.

Organized Native Constabulary Work
ing Efficiently—Reduction of Ding
ley Tariff Would Open Up Large
Market for Sugar and Tobacco.
San Francisco, Jan. 22.—Recarding
a standing army in the Philippines,
Governor Taft is reported by The Call
to have said:
“Fifteen thousand men will Le an
ample force in the Islands before the
dose of the year. 1 was told this or.ly
a few days before I came away,
cers thoroughly versed in the siti:
gave me the figures.
will explain to you how ;
can be maintained in the islands. We
have organized a native constabulary,
which is working efficiently. Con
gress allows us to maintain a constab
ulary of 5.000 men. They are under
the command of Major Allen, who has
already enlisted y»00 men in this
branch of’ the service. When the
force is fully organized the men will
ue distributed in the province. 150 men
to each province. The detachments
of constables are commanded by four
officers, three of whom are retired vol
unteer officers and the other a nativ
Filipino. When the constabulary is
fully equipped it will be detailed in
the field to clean out the ladrones,
who are intimidating the natives.
These Filipino constables can be main
tained by the government at a cost of
$250 each a year, while the soldiers
in the islands cost Uncle Sam about
$1,000 a head.
T know mat the Pacific coast people
would like to see free trade instituted
between this country and the islands,”
said the governor, "but I am sorry to
say that 1 cannot see how it would
work.
"The civil government adopted a
tariff schedule which is w'orking well,
but our internal revenue receipts are
not large. When you tax a country
too heavily you spoil it. and that is
the situation in the Philippines.
e asked that the Dingley
tariff he reduced for the products of
the islands at least 50 per cent. We
hope that congress will he? as generous
to the Philippines as it is to Porto
Rico. The reduction of the Dingley
tariff will mean the opening up of a
large market for the tobacco and sugar
01 the islands, as well as for other
products there. By so reducing the
tariff a good market for the
acific roast will be opened up.
Governor Taft said that there had
been no serious dash between civil
and military authorities, and declared
that the best of good feeling existed
between himself and General Chaffee.

USED DYNAMITE ON THE SAFE
Explosion Aroused Citizens, Who Open
ted Fire on the Robbers—Running
Fight Then hollowed, but No One
Was Wounded.
Hartford. Ky.. Jan. 22.—The bank of
Hartford was robbed of between $2,500
and $3,500 at 3 o’clock this morning
by four men, who blew open the safe

citizens.
The robbers obtained entrance to
the building by prizing ftpen a rear

secured all the gold and silver they
could find as well as $200 worth of
stamps. They failed, however, to take
about $4,000 worth of banknotes which
were in the vault.
The noise of the explosion aroused
one of the neighbors, who called the
deputy sheriff and some of the citizens
to the scene by telephone. As soon
as they arrived they opened fire on
the robbers, who returned the shots
A running fight followed, but no one
was wounded and the tfleves succeed
ed in escaping, though they dropped
the $200 worth of stamps in their
flight.
A possee with bloodhounds is now
on the trail of the fugitives.
THE VENEZUELAN REVOLT.
Ding
Approves Commissioners' Report
New York.'Jan. 21.—The appellate
divison of the supreme court, Brook
lyn. has approved the report of the
commissioners appointed by that court
to pass on the route and style of con
struction of the rapid transit tunnel
from Manhattan to Brooklyn. The
work of formulating the contract un
der which the tunnel is to be built will
now be rapidly pushed forward.
How many mothers realize that when
the baby’s advent is expected they need
strength for two instead of one. Wom
en, weak, nervous, "just able to drag
around,” find themselves confronted
with coming maternity. They have
not strength enough for themselves, how
can they have strength to give a child ?
We don’t look for the birth of strong
ideas from a weak mind. Why should
we expect the birth of strong childreq
from weak mothers?
The way to ensure health and strength
to mother and child
is to use Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription
as a preparative for
motherhood. It
brings the mother’s
strength up to the
requirements of nat
ure, so that she has
strength to give # her
child. It nourishes
the nerves and so
quiets them. It en
courages a natural
appetite and induces
ref resiling sleep.
" Favorite Prescrip
tion ” makes weak
women strong and
sick women well.
There is no alcohol
in "Favorite Pre
scription” and it is
free from opium, co
caine and all other narcotics.
I wish to let you know the great benefit mjr

French government’s demand, the au

Frenchman. M. Secrestat, to land at

The Herald. This denial of his right

stat difficulty to the Paris government.

new invasion of Goajira by the revolu
tionists. Castro has been unable
learn the whereabouts of the expedi
tion commanded by Generals Mendo
za and Hernandez, and has had much
trouble in the Barquinsimite district.
The Mochists are active. Castro is
still seeking to have the British s
the ‘Libertador. In Paraguay and
neighborhood the insurgents have been
ueteated by government troops, but it
is now confirmed that government
troops have been defeated in the neigh
borhood of Carupano and Barquisi
mite.
