Can we run theni?” Oue of the most interesting ex pressions of opinion on the Phil ippine pxobltm \te find in advance sheets of a book entitled, “Yester day in the Philippines,” by Joseph ^arle Stevens, to be published by the Scribners within the next few da)s. Mr. Stevens lived in Ma nila for two years and was en gaged in busineas there, leaving the country about the middle of 1896.
