Baker, who \vn.-? lyndh.'d at l>ako City, S. in 1897, with a view to begin ning an ogltution against mob law, has carried out her design. ^IIhs Jewett ar rived there Friday morning accomilan. ied by her mother and a young man named R. (S. Lawn, who Ib a Boston Journalist. Sho had frequent confer ences witih the Baker woman and ho.r friends and as a result sho left there for' Boston Saturday afternoon accom panied by the entire Baker family, the motjier and live children. Mies Jewett said her plans for tha future wore not yet formulated, but she proposed to hold mass meeting tihroughont the North to arouse lar sentiment agulnst lynching and mob law generally. She did not regard her movement an issue between the raccs, but w.is advocating tho cause of humanity irrespective of color or con dition. She naid she was educated In Virginia and had some knowledge of (he Southern people, and she was well nwaro (hat the better elements in the South joined heart and soul with the better elements in tho North in de manding a halt in the commie-ion of the outrages thai recently have shock ed tho world. She said that since hot Bo: ton address was made; she had re ceived many threatening letters from the South, but to these she paid no heed, knowing that they did not come from n source worthy o-f serious con sideration.

In support of the theory that there 'was foul play, no sign of blood in any quantity has bo?n found along the railroad' track, and it is claimed that if the body had l:e?n alive at the time it was struck by the train, there must have been a great deffuslon of blood.

A?uinaldo Asks for Recognition of His Government, EMBODIES STRONG POINTS. The Powers Asked to Influence Washing* ton to Bring a Termination to the Unjust War W hlch is Devastating the Country. Manila, My Cv*il?!*?? <Agulnaldo np pealed to the powers for recognition of Filipino "lisdepewlence." in a docu ment dated from Tarlae, July '-'7, ami Rig nod by Huencamtnn. It lias been rocelvod by all the foreign con s% in Manila, with the request that I hoy \ forward K tj tholr respective gwvorlfments. Tiie Filinpos imc their old argument tii.it they 'hid eonqnered the sovereignty ct( these Islands from 8 pa In before the signing of the treaty of Paris, and therefore Spain was in no po^t'on to <^,le them to tha United States. They arguo ih it tl;e poave>*sion of 7,000 Spanish pri or?i <, captured with lihe.r anna, tight is. g agaJost the Filipplnos. "is eloquent proof of the nullity of Spanish sover eignty, as when they surrendered Spain's hold wis irrevocably lo^t." The document then fays: "Replying to the Spanish commission's request to release the prisoners because Spain no longer has political Interests In the islands, we asked for a treaty of peace and friendship between Spain nrvl the Filipinos, whereby the prisoner.; would be released. Hut the com mi-ssloners refusod because It. would mr in recog nition of our independence. 'Him is equivalent to saying that the prisoners mlist stay in our hands indefinitely, hgratisfe th?lr pos?e.<^ion is our mom efficacious method to adjust our ac eount with Spain, and obtain from her recognition of our indepen dence." The Filipinos claim that they con quered all the country except Mani'a, and that they co-operated in securing the latter's capitulation by s-'urround iivg k at a co?t Of thousands of lives. They al~o claim tha't they conquered the country unassisted, except for f.n guns that Admiral Dewey gave Amii naWo, and that Admiral Dewey and the Briti. h and Dclgian consuls recog nized the Filipinos' sovereignty by fcr.king for pa Aces to visit the country. They repoat t>he claim that they have letters from American consuls and generals recognising 'their sover eignty and promising that the Ameri cans would recognize their irvdepen dence, "which was at the disposition of the powers." The Filipinos attempt to make capital of the statement that Admiral Dewey had such confidence tjiat Aguinaldo would observe and fulfil the rule.* of war that he gave hi in a hundred Spanish prisoners wfc'lch the American navy had ca.p tured. Finally the Filipplnos appealed j to the powers to infi'tence Washington to bring to a termination "the unjust war which was bring waged. Dreyfus on Trial. Rcnncs, Hy Cable. ?
