The Chirag Taier Ocean column summarizes the Tate report on Aguinaldo and the Philippines. It argues false rumors from U S and European papers inflamed Filipino resistance and helped prolong the war. Democratic leaders and newspapers are blamed for aiding Aguinaldo’s cause by fueling sentiment.
Fragmented reports show Montana Populists planning to refuse cooperation with Democrats. Leaders work on a strong organizational push backed by capital, aiming for supremacy next year.

A late 19th century commentary argues Aguinaldo evaded pursuit due to Philippines geography and local support. It notes that with railways and telegraphs in the United States fugitives often vanish for years, and that Aguinaldo’s escape demonstrates hidings rather than extraordinary leadership. The piece emphasizes that his army, in retreat, remains a threat while the capture would be unlikely without such conditions.
The piece notes a fierce Nebraska senatorial contest following Hayward’s death.
