    • Abstract:
      The celebration of amnesty which took place last week in Manila, Philippines, was not distinguished by spontaneous enthusiasm. According to the dispatch of the Associated Press, the people fail to perceive any tangible results from amnesty, and therefore say that they can see no reason for celebrating it. In other developments, two Afro-Americans, charged with assault in Florence County, South Carolina, by some failure of mob justice fell into the hands of the Sheriff. That officer, warned by many recent lessons of the insecurity of jails as refuges, allied with himself the Sheriff of an adjoining county and some forty men belonging to the militia, and undertook to defy the will of the people.
