TAFT SAYS THE WAR
IN THE PHILIPPINES
IS A GREAT CRIME.
THE MAJORITY
, DESIRE PEACE,
CIVIL GOVERNOR SAYS THE MA
JORITY NOW ON THE ISLAND
ARE NOT FOR WAR.
AGUINALDO DIRECTS THE ASSAS
SINATION OF LUNA SO EVERY
THING WOULD BE CLEAR.
Washington, Fob. 4.—Before tho
senate committee today, speaking of
the military policy in the Philippines,
Governor Taft said :
“War has been all over the islands
and that which remains is a crime
against civilization. It s also a crime
agaijist tlie Filipino people to keep up a
state of war under the circumstances
The insurgents have worn out the right
to any treatment but that which is
severe and within the laws of war."
Governor Taft also said the great
majority of the people of the islands
desire peace and the insurrectionists
were, by their acts, preventing the mass
of people from settling dow u and earn
ing a quiet living. Instead of Ix'iug
allowed to do this they wore kept under
a system of terrorism. which should be
stopped.
He said he feared he had given n
wrong impression of the part the army
had played in bringing the insurrection
to an end, hgj if so, this was due to the
fact that he could not prevent a carreer
impression of the whole situation from
one point of view. Then, in order
to give the army its just dues, he anal
yzed its work in the islands. He recall
ed that as soon as General Otis received
reinforcements sufficient for the pur
pose, the Filipino army had broken up
and scattered into guerilla bands. On
this point Agninaldo and Luna differed.
So sharp was this difference, he said,
that Aguinaldn directed and secnr id the
assassination of Luna, thus leaving the
way open for tin carrying out of bis
plans.

VIGOROUS DENUNCIATION BYTHE
BRITISH MINISTERIAL PRESS
HAS BEEN MADE.
LONDON, Feb. 4.—The British gov
ernment has replied to Mr. Schuyper,
the Dutch premier, that if the Boers
in the field desire to negotiate for
peace negotiations can be entered in
to, but. only in South Africa.
The British government adheres to
its intention not to accept the inter
vention of any foregn power.
The text of Lord Landowne's reply
is as follows:
"Sir: You were good enough to lay
before me on Jauary 25 a communica
tion from thQ Niethlands government,
in which it is proposed tnat with the
object of bringing the war to an end
his majesty’s government might grant
a safe conduct to the Boer delegates,
now in Holland, for the purpose of
enabling them to confer with the Boer
leaders in South Africa. It is sug
gested that after a conference the
delegates might return to Europe witn
power to conclude a treaty of peace,
and the Netherlands government in
timate that, in this event,, they might
at the latter stage, be instrumental
in placing the Boer plenluotentiarles
in relation with the plenipotentiaries
who might be appointed by bis ma
jesty’s government.
“His majesty’s government has
given it their best consideration and,
" Vft l>f Lhj©
motiyes of humanity which lea the
Netherlands government to make the
proposal, they feel they must adhere
to the postion adopted and publicly
announced that It is not their inten
tion to accept the intervention of any
f ireign power in the South African war.
"Should the Boer delegates themselves
desire to lay their request for safe con
duct before his majesty’s government,
there is no reason why they should not
do so It is not at present clear to his
majesty’s government that the delegates
ritain any influence over tin 1 represen
tatives of the Boers of South Africa, or
have any voice in tie ir councils.

PROMINENT MAH
PASSES AWAY.
MR. MOSES ISAAC DIED AT AN
EARLY HOUR YESTERDAY
MORNING.
HAD BEEN ILL FOR SOME TIME
AND HIS DEATH WAS NOT A
SURPRISE.
Brunswick was saddened yesterday
morning by the news of the death of
Mr. Moses Isaac, one of her most
prominent, and highly valued citi
zens.
For over a year, Mr. Isaac’s health
has been failing and, although all that
human ingenuity could suggest was
done to ward off the sad result, it
availed not.
Specialists were consulted in the
north as well as in the soulh,and ac
accompanied by his devoted wife, Mr.
Isaac traveled from one place to an
other for a year, seeking restoration
to health, but the disease was too
deeply seated and its eradication was
Impossible.
Had it not been for careful nursing,
watchful attendance and the indefat
igable perseverance in treatment, the
sufferer would have succumbed long
ago to the disease. But love and faith
and hope were his best physicians and
for many months he lingered among
his dear ones, teaching them by his
patient endurance to hear the sorrow
which ovorsliadowd them then, and
must fall ere long to darken for many
days the brightness of their hitherto
happy lives.
Mr. Isaac was born in Pfungstadt,
Germany in 1842 and came to Amer
ica at 'he age of sixteen, making his
UUXIIO Hi 1 liumasvijie. fir me,,, ...
came Identified with the interests of
tho south. .
When the war broke out, he should
ered his musket and marched away
to fight or to die for the land of Ills
adoption. After the war, he resumed
his residence in Thomasville and on
March 7, 1875 was married to Miss
Emma Kahn, of New York. Tine -
children, Mr. Waiter B. Isaac. Miss
Carrie Norah Isaac and Mr. Julian
Isaac were born during their residence
in Thomasville. In 1888 the family
removed 'to Brunswick, where Mr.
Isaac took his place in' the foremost
ranks of progressive, public-spirited
men; and his interests in our city
and his active work for her welfare
is too well known to be remarked on.
Mr. Isaac has held various official po
sitions in the city and as amember of
the board of education and county
commissioners. He was always act
ive in every movement that was for
the good of Brunswick and her citi
zens.
His loss will bo sadly felt in tue
community, for there is always re
gret over he death ot a good man, and,
as a good man, he was truly known in
every sense of the word. A loyal citi
zen, an honest, upright business man
and above all a devoted husband,
father and brother. Grief reigns to
day in the hearts of those that loved
i ; v x*..! .1..
him and sympathetic friends grieve .
with them. But the world is better
off for his having lived m it and this I
may be truly be a great consolation. :
For there is no nobler existance than
to live your own life so well as to in- :
fluence the lives around you an.l up- ,
lift them to higher things.
“His life was gentle; and the ele
ments so mixed in him, that Nature
might stand up and say to ail the
world; ‘This was a man.’”
Funeral services will be held at the
residence on Union street this after
noon at 4 o’clock, Rev. David Marx,
of Atlanta, officiating. The body will
be sent to New York for burial. The
following gentlemen will act as pall
hearers: Messrs. M. Kaiser, J. H. Mc-
Cullough, C. P. Goodyear, C. L. Can
dler, A. L. Franklin, A. Fendig, R. R.
Hopkins and Constant Miller.

LONDON, February 4 —ln the houso
of commons last evening Major Arthur
Leo (Conservative), formerly British
attache of the United States army du
ring tue Spanish American war, and
later British military attyche at Wash
ington, said Great Britain had been of
fered the services of the chief horse
expert of the United States army as an
ad\isej in the purchase of American
horses for the British army. Major
Lee said:
“The accredited representative of the
British army, Oolonel Wardrop, at
tache at Vienna, was given no opportu
nii.y of showing what knowledge he
posssesed of the resources of the coun
try. f, being military attache at Wash
ington, was not informed that there was
any intention of buying horses in the
United States. I learned from the Amer
e-an newspapers that British officers had
been sent to bay horses. At (he time I
hud an opportunity of getting the ser
\ices ot the chief horso expert of the
United States army as adviser, I cabled
the suggestion to the war office, but re
ceived no reply.”
The whole debate on this qucstii n

war office with absolute incompeteucy,
if nothing more, and demands a search
