AFFAIRS PRECEDING THE OUTBREAK aiolntioholy I'ronporJ for American Soldier * In n I'roloiiKnl Cniu- In ( he Interior. Hov. Clay .MacCauley , a Unitarian mis sionary and correspondent of the Hcston Transcript , writes to that paper , after an extended visit to Manila , his views of the problems which confront the United Stntjs in the Philippines. The letter bears date of January 16 , three weeks before the clnsh ( batwecn the Americans and the natives. Llko other correspondents at Manila , ho foresaw that a conflict was Inevitable , In ns much ns the natives would not bo sails- fled with loss than Independence. This natural feeling wns. Intensified by what the natives conceived to be "the overbearing and Insulting conduct" ot the soldiers. The natives were looked upon as Inferiors , wore ostracised nnd their leaders were not con sulted In any of the things that concerned their-welfare. Rov. MncCaulcy says ho went to Manila "Inclined to think that nnncsatlon was America's duty. And as iwlth many others , so with mo , the conclusion has boon forced that a venture ni such annexation would be , certainly nt present , one of the least Justified of the country's follies. " The cause which wrought up the natives to a fighting pitch Is outlined by this ob servant missionary as follows1 "The proposed assumption of political sov ereignty over them by the United States has recently become magnified to thorn ns their greatest danger. IIy oommon Impulse they are throughout united to oppose It and un less tholr fear can bo quieted , or their nl- loglanca to American sovereignty secured by persuasion or reward , they will carry their opposition Into open warfare. Above all , they demand that the government that dlrectB their affairs shall have place tnrougn their o\vn consent. They resent the agree ments of Spain nnd the United States , or the acts of the American congress , that dis pose of them politically like so many pieces of chattel property. They claim to have now nn established nnd systematized gov ernment , self-ohocon , nnd evidently they have a largo nnd well nrmed army gathered to defend iwhat they claim to bo tholr free dom nnd Independence. I have been In formed on good authority that moro than 80,000 rifles have ibeen Imported by the Philippine Insurgents during the last few months Whatever might be done to win the Filipinos from allegiance to their "re public , " certain It Is that an arbitrary act of annexation now would only reuse them to a struggle ifor freedom and national autonomy * "Edifying spectacle It would be , that of this new republic of the far east striving to the death to defend Itself from a greed ot conquest satiating Itself upon It In the old republic of the west , 'the land of the free and the home of the brave ! ' " Solillrrn mill fen Horn OppoiietL The writer continued as follows : And next , the people of the United States fihould know that their fellow citizens now In the Philippines , the soldiers and sailors of the American army and navy there , arc gener ally opposed to or Indifferent to the pro posed annexation. With the moat Intelli gent and thoughtful among them , antagon ism Is supported "by Judgment drawn from many considerations , some ot which are here summarized. Surely It Is worth the attention of the people at home who ore willing to commit our government to an at tempt at annexation of the Philippine Islands the fact that meat of their fellow citizens who have for months been dwellers In the Islands , In contact with the people native there nndwho have learned much of the various conditions there physical , social and commercial should have grown In creasingly opposed to the proposition to in corporate the Philippines people Into the American body politic. Most American observers now In Immedi ate contact with the Philippines people have become convinced that Instead of Its being of any benefit to the United States people or government annexation would bo a con stant source of trouble and danger. For Instance , the climate of these Islands Is prohibitive of the Immigration of the American laborer. Ho could not do the work of the swamps , fields , mines or fac tories there and live. This Is n fact beyond question. Besides , the Islands are already well populated by men nnd women native born , and born of nn ancient native ancestry , who could do all needed work better and cheaper , oven could the American become acclimated nnd find employment. The only white Americans .who could live and prosper would be the capitalist and his Immediate employes. Capital can undoubtedly bo profitably used in these Islands. But such exploitation could bo Just an well made under - dor some other relationship to the United States than annexation. llfiielUx Without AmiPtntloii. Again , It should be understood nt homo that annexation of the Philippine Islands Is not necessary to secure the further develop ment of , or to protect , our commerce In the far east. For this purpose any free and friendly government of the islands would RAILWAY TIMIJ GAUD. ( Continued ) UNION PACIFIC-"THK OVER- lanJ Route" General Offices. N , E. Cor. , Ninth & Farnam Streets.

The roller of the "open door" for Industry nnd trade Is the only cafe guldo that could be adopted by us for the administration of affairs there. Hut , with nn "open door" wo shouhl have no advantage under annexation that wo should not ns "well have were this people free nnd autonomous under otir care In any event , to do Justly or wisely , the United States must accept In the 1'hlllpplnos free competition with nil the others of the world st nations. Then , further , the fact should be well un derstood that unless the United States would make of the Filipinos subjects or slaves , they would noccMnrlly bo our fellow citi zens. How llttlo any American who U In favor of political partnership with oven the educated nnd cultured Filipino must know of the Malay character that Is the heritage cf these Islanders ! The Malay In American politics would of necessity ho nn alien nnd easily a breeder of evils. Thcro Is danger enough now In the forces that divert nnd agitate American politics. Let us not , cer tainly , not jot , open our national councils to thU alien of the far east. The Malay Is by nature n creature of Impulse nnd passion. Ho Is not to bo relied upon under disappointment or failure even when hli word Is pledged. And ho easily may become - como vc'iinl or treacherous. Haoliil Yet. again It should bo well Known , or fur 1 > cttcr appreciated than It Is , the fact that racially and by education the Filipino Is the Anglo-Saxon's antaROUlst. And on the other hand , whatever bo the relation ship of the two races , the Anglo-Saxon will almost Inevitably look down upon the Ma lay ns ot an Infeilor race and so treat him. Social equality could no moio easily ho se cured among our people with the Filipinos thun It Is now secured among them with the negroes , the Chinese , or oven the Jap anese. The Filipinos wore dealt with di haul en has bj the Spanlanlo. Much moro would the distance widen between them and their American fellow citizens. There by would resentment , miner and revonga grow nnd work. Were Americans and Filipinos pines of ono household , I am suio no peace ful union could bo gained. The Filipinos would bo poor allies , doubtful friends , our Impossible social equals , and they would always as enemies bo treacherous. However , whatever be the value of the reasons against the annexation cf the Phil ippines to the United States hitherto given. our people nt homo should know clearly that the prcpcacd nnucAntlon could not now bo consummated except by force or by purchase. America must now conquer with Its armies or It must buy these Islands from the "Phil ippine Republic , " If It would own them Under the circumstances they are not worth the buying. With purchase their tenure would bo uncertain Agulnaldo and his friends were once quieted by the money of the Spaniards. These arc the men whom the United States would now hnvo to deal with. The Filipino , ns ho Is , knows of no responsibility for the keeping of n promise. His convenience or his pleasure Is his only bond , except fenr. The Insurgent leaders , even were they for the present placated , might easily be led to head a revolt against the United Rintcs. The gift of high office or command could now ttansfor tholr allegi ance from their "beloved country" to Amor- lea. Indeed , wounded eelf-csteem , chagrin over the neglect they think they have suf fered from tjie naval und military command ers of our forces at Manila arc In largo measure responsible for the hcatllo attitude they have lately token. Thcro is a kind of purchase that would take the shape of re ward to the officers of the "republic" and to the Insurgent soldiers , for services given as "allies" during the war with Spain , but In view of the Inndvlsabllity of annexation in any form , such device would bo inexpedient and , in any event , would bo of doubtful " merit. Subject I on Jiy Force. Apparently at present the only direct way of annexation remaining is the way of force of conquest by arms. But , aside from the absence of any Justification for such a ven ture en tlio part of the United States , the practical Impossibility of success In It puts It beyond our use. If no other obstacle were In our way , the climate would make any campaign Into the Inteilor of the country Impotent. Large areas of rice swamp , waste , marsh lands , bamboo thickets , extended tropical Jungles would of necessity bo the camping grounds for our soldiers. Absence of roads woui'd reduce the means of trans portation of food and tdcltur to n disastrous minimum. The Intense boat of the sun and heavy rainfalls would bo for the larger pait of the year dally experiences. Under such conditions It would not need battle to defeat ' us. Physicians estimate that It would not take sixty days to plnco CO per cent of our array hors do combat. Moreover , our army i would novcr be able to find an army to meet j It in battle. Guerrilla warfare woui'd bo the mode of defense and attack on the part of the enemy. Every thicket ot the myriads there would be a source of death. Could our regiments return to Manila after every day's march they might gain some victories , but tlio Filipinos would have hundreds or miles , c\cn In the ono Island of Luzon , over which they might flee and light. The war against the Semlaoles of Florida sixty years ago would bo a trlflo In our history compared with any successful war the United States might wage against the Filipinos In their Istand home. Then tfiould such a war he undertaken , It thould bo known by nil that the consequent quent destruction of the present Industries and commerce of the Philippines , eo far un injured , would bo an Incalculable disaster to .the United States , In the permanent cm- bltterment of the people of the Islands against us , In the loss of the good will of our friends among the world's nations a d In the final1 effaccment of our own national ideal of Iiuman freedom and of each man's rights In the pursuit of happiness , TIlC ICIIIM- | . Need moro too Bald to fchow the fatuity of the proposed annexation of these Islands of the far east to the United fitatCH ? After a careful study of the Philippine problem , to mo the conclusion has lieuomo clear that the American people should , ifor the present , nt least , do little more than con- film to the Philippines n national autonomy under an American protectorate. Let the "Philippine Republic" have 1U way In the administration of Its internal affairs. Let this people bo a. ured of emancipation from Spanish ruin and from the Interference of other powers. Let us noparate ourselves from them , politically , as far as pohslblo , demanding : as a special care only that their processes at Jaw shall find ft place of final appeal and Judgment In the supreme court conducted under American control. Tlio United States could take In charge tholr foreign relations ; regulate their cuatojns duties and appropriate a portion of their customs revenues ; direct In their making of treaties and control the war making power in a word , the United States might become guldo , counsellor and protector for this young republic until It might lo ublo to assume full autonomy among nations , or ho fitted for and desirous of Incorporation Into the American union. The immediate and the appropriate gain the United Stutea could make might "bo retention as Its own property of Manila "bay " and Its ports , as Manila nnd Cavlte , This Is euougta for the special earn of our trade 'with the Philippines and for the establishment of a naval base In the far east. Moro than this as American property would bo , under present condition ! , a su perfluous burden and a eourco of needlcta trouble.
