AgOinaldo amd his Little Game of Bluff DEMANDS INDEPENDENCE We May Have tJ Spank Those Islanders* M anila, Nov, B.—Tho great est interest is manifested here among all parties in the devel opments of the Paris peace ne gotiations. Dispatches indicating the de termination of the Washington administration to annex the en tire Philippine group are satif factory to all classes of business men here. The insurgents are watching the situation with concern. Many leaders heartily favor an nexation. A considerable fac tion, however, opposes any thing further than a protectorate, and Aguinaldo favors this faction. A few days ago-Aguinaldo said to an Englishman : “We have fought always for our independence, and we will always fight for it until our last man is dead.” , This is undoubtedly largely bluff. It indicates, however, Aguinaldo’s increasing self-es- ] teem and also his unwillingness : to surrender his present royal i style of living, which surrender I he recognizes would be a neces. 1 sary concomitant oi annexation. I The best students of the com- 1 plex Philippine question are 1 becoming more convinced that a 1 conflict with the insurgents is ( ultimately unavoidable. WELL PLEASED CUSTOM- ’ ERS. We have sold hundreds and < hundreds ot the .McCall Bazar 1 Patterns since we have taken the I agency, and upon inquiry of the 1 salesladies in the department,we 1 find that not one pattern has ever been returned as unsatis factory, and with hundreds of sales, not one word of criticism has ever been heard against the McCall Patterns. On the contrary many ladies are delighted with the McCall ] Patterns, because reliable, and > because the prices a:e only 10 , and 15 cents each. —None High- ( er.
