We cannot sit huddled within our borders
and avow ourselves merely an assemblagu
of well-to-do hucksters who care nothing for
what happens beyond Such a policy would
defeat e\en Its own end , fir as the nations
grow to have ever wider and wider Interests
and are brought Into closer and closer con
tact If we are to hold our own In the utritB-
gle for naval and commercial supremacy
we must build up our power without our
own borders. We must build the Isthmian
canal and we must grasp the points of van
tage which will enable us to have our say In
deciding the destiny ot the oceans of the
east and the west.

So much for the commercial side. From
the standpoint of International honor the
argument In even stronger. The guns that
thundered off Manila and Santiago left us
echoes of glory , but they also left us n
legacy of dutv If wo drove out a mediaeval
tyranny only to make room for savage
anarchy we had better not have begun the
task at all. It la worse than Idle to Bay that
wo have no duty to perform and can leave
to their fates the Islands wo have conquered.
Such u course would be the course of In
famy. It would be followed at once by utter
chaos In the wretched Islands themselves
Some stronger , manlier power would 'iiave
to step In and do the work , and we would
have shown ourselves weaklings , unable to
carry to successful completion the labors
that great and high-spirited nations are
eager to undertake
The work must be done. We cannot escape
our responsibility , and If wo are worth our
salt we shall be glad of the chance to do
the work glad of the chance to show our
selves equal to one of the great tasks set
tnrdern civilization But let us not deceive
oursclveH as to the Importance of the task.
Let us not be misled by vnln glory Into
underestimating the strain It will put on
our powers Above all. let us , as wo value
our own self-respect , face the responsibili
ties with proper seriousness , courage and
high resolve. We must demand the highest
order of Integrity and ability In our public
men who are to grapple with these new-
problems. We must hold to a rigid account
ability those public servants who show'un-
falthfultieKB to the Interests of the nation
or Its ability to rise to the high level of the
new demands upon our strength and our
resources.
Regarding the future of the army , Qov
crnor Roosevelt said :
Our army has nc\cr been built up as it
should bo built up. I shall not discuss with
an audience like this the puerile uuggestlon
that a nation of 70,000,000 freemen Is In
danger of losing Its liberties from the ex
istence of an army of 100,000 men , three-
fourths of whom will bo employed in certain
foreign Islands , In certain coast fortresses
and on Indian reservations. No man of good
BensQ and stout hfart can take such a propo
sition seriously. If we are such weaklings
as the proposition Implies then we are unWorthy -
Worthy of freedom In any event. To nit
body of men In the United States Is the
country so much indebted ns to the splendid
olllcers and enlisted men of the regular army
and navy , there Is no body from which the
countty has less to ffar. and none of which
It should be prouder , none which It should
be more anxious to upbuild. '
Our army needs completer organization
not merely enlarging and tbo reorganlza-

Above all , the army must be given the
chance to exercise In largo bodies. Never
again should v\e see , as wo saw In the Span
ish v\nr , major generals In command of divi
sions who had never before commanded
three companies together In the field. Yet
Incredible to relate , the recent congress hns
showed n queer Inability to learn some of
the lessons of the v\ar. There were large
bodies of men In both branches who opposed
the declaration of war , who opposed the
ratification of peace , who opposed the up
building of the army nnd who even opposed
thu purchase of armor nt a reasonable price
for the battleships and cruisers , thereby
putting an absolute stop to the building of
any new fighting bhlps for the navy.
Problem * lit Cut eminent.
In the West Indies nud the Philippines
alike we are confronted by most difficult
problems. It Is cowardly to shrink from
solving them In the proper way , for solved
they must be , and If not by UB , then by
some stronger and more manful race. If
wo are too weak , too wolfish or too foolish
to solve them , some bolder and abler people
must undertake the solution. Personally , I
am far too firm a believer In the greatness
of my country nnd the power of my country
men to admit for one moment that we shall
ever be driven to the Ignoble alternative.
The problems are different for the different
Islands. Porto Hlco Is not large enough to
stand alone. We must govern It wisely and
well , primarily in the Interest of Its own
people. Cuba Is , In my Judgment , entitled
ultimately to settle for Itself whether It
shall be an Independent state or an Integral
portion of the mightiest of republics. But
until order nnd stable liberty are secured
we must remain In the Island to Insure
them , and Infinite tact , judgment , modera
tion nnd courage must bo shown by our
military nnd civil representatives In keeping
the Island pacified , In relentlessly stamping
out brigandage , in protecting all alike , nnd
yet In showing proper recognition to the
mea who fought for Cuban liberty. The
Philippines offer a yet graver problem.
Their population Includes hnlf-caste and
native Christians , warlike moslems and wild
pagans. Many of their people are utterly
unlit for self-government and show no signs
cf becoming fit. Others may In time her-
come fit , but nt present can only take port
In self-government under a wise supervision ,
nt once firm and beneficent. We have driven
Spanish tyranny from the Islands. If we
now Jet It be replaced by a savage anarchy
our work has been for harm and not for
good. I have scant patience with these who
fear to undertake the task of governing the
Philippine * and who openly avow that they
do fear to undertake It , or that they shrink
from It because of the expense and trouble ;
but I Invo even scanter patience with those
who make a pretense of humanltarlsm to
hide and cover their timidity , nnd who oant
about "liberty" nnd the "consent of the
governed' in older to excuse themselves for
their umvllllngnef.3 to plaj the part of men.
Their doctrines , 'f carried out , would make
It uneumbent upon UE to leave the Apaches
of Arizona to vtorK out their own salvation
nnd to decline to Interfere In a single Indian
resurvatlon. Their doctrines condemn your
forefatliBT and mine for ever having settled
In these United States.
I preach to you , then , my countrymen ,
that our country calls not for the life of
ease , but for the llfo of strenuous endeavor.
The twentieth century looms before us big
with the fate of many nations. If we stand
Idly by , If we seek merely swollen , slothful
ease and Ignoble peace , If we shrink from
the hard contests where men must win at
hazard of their lives nnd at the risk of all
they hold dear , then the bolder and stronger
peoples will pass us by nnd will win for
themselves the domination of the world. Let
us , therefore , boldly face the llfo of strife ,
resolute to do our duty well and manfully ,
resolute to uphold righteousness by deed
nnd by word , resolute to be both , honest nnd
brave , to serve high Ideals , yet to use prac
tical methods. Above all , let UB shrink from
no strife , moral or physical , within or with
out the nation , provided wo are certain that
the strife is justified , for It Is only through
strife , .through hard and dangerous en
deavor , that we shall ultimately win the
goal of true national greatness.

Arc Obtained.
PHILADELPHIA , April 10. Hx-Unlted
Slates Senator Matthew S. Quay and his
ton , Hlchard H. Quay , were called to the
bar of the court of quarter sessions today
ami after many months of vexatious delay
the trial of the two defendants was begun.
There was an entire absence of any crowd
either outside or within the court room.
Special cards of admission permitting only
those dlreetlv Interested In the case , wit
nesses , Jurors and newspaper men , had
been Issued by the district attorney and
counsel for the defense , ttvcn members of
the bar who are not In the case were with
held admission. As n result of these ar
rangements the court room was but little
more than half tilled and the greater portion
tion of those present were witnesses.
Judge Craig Diddle , ono of the oldest nnc' '
most lespectej members on the bench , was
the trial Judge.
District Attorney Uothermel. after two
hours had been spent In selecting a Jury
elected to try ex-Senator Quay first on that
one of the Indictments In which he and his
son are variously named , which charges Mr
Quay and the late ex-State Treasurer Ben
jamin H. Hnyvvood with conspiracy In using
the stnto funds for their own persona
benefit and protlt and In a manner unauthor
ized by law.
This action practically leaves the ex-sen
ator alone on trial. Beyond the selection o
a Jury and the examination of ono witness
Thomas H. Bartow , receiver of the People's
bank , nothing was done today.
The Jury was secured after thirty-five
talesmen had been examined , fourteen o
whom were stood nalde by the district attor
ney , one excused and one challenged for
cause. The latter was Talcott Williams
ono of the editors of the Press of this
city , which Is opposed politically to Jlr
Quay. The defense then exhausted Its priv
ilege of four peremptory challenges am'
the commonwealth took advantage of but
three of the challenges.
Clnxli UVIT rirnt
The only witness examined today , Mr.
Bartow , led to the first cladh between coun
sel and apparently Indicated that a de
termine J legal battle , replete with knotty
points cf law , would bo fought In the trial
ot the case. The district attorney called
Mr. Bartow to Identify books and papers
found by him when he assumed the re
ceivership.
Mr. Shapley of counsel for the defense
undertook to cross-examine the witness with
respect to his knowledge of whether certain
books , which the defense , It Is understood
claims are mleelng are Included In those
testified to by the witness. This was ob
jected to and after repeated consultations
among the counsel for the defense and sev
eral other eflorts to obtain an answer to
the question In another form It was aban
doned and Mr. Shapley said ho would begin
his cross-examination In the morning.
Promptly nt 10 o'clock Judge BIddle took
his. seat on the bench. Judge Mesterzat of
Fayetto county occupied a seat beside him
merely as a spectator , however. Neither the
district attorney , his assistants nor the de
fendants and their counsel were present at
that hour. Within a minute , however , the
latter entered. Lawyer A. S. L. Chllds came
first , followed by ex-Senator Quay and ttlch-
ard R. Quay. Directly following thorn came
Senator Bales Penrose , who took a seat In
the space reserved for newspaper men. He
was followed by the remainder of the Quays
counsel , n. E. Shapley , D. T. Watson and
J. M. Swearlngen , the last two from Pitts-
burg. District Attorney Rothermel and his
assistants , Messrs. Flnletter , Clement ant
Scott , followed almost Immediately. Counse
for the senator and his son took seats along
side each other , directly facing Judge
BIddle.
Mr. Quay , quiet , calm and with Impassive
features , sat behind Jlr. Shields and to the
ex-senator's left sat his son , Richard. Mr.
Quay held a brief conversation with Jlr.
Shields and then settling < bick in his seat
leaned his elbow on a table by his side and
from time to time glanced about the room
His son talked with no ono and confined
his attention to observing counsel arranging
the papers In the case. About twenty min
utes were occupied In the calling of the
names of the panel of Jurors and the wit
nesses In the case , during which Judges Bid-
die and Jlesterzat conversed with each other.
A buzz of whispered conversation went
around the court room when ex-Judge James
Gordon and Former District Attorney Gra
ham , both of whom have been active In the
prosecution of Senator Quay and subpoenaed
as witnesses , entered and occupied seats
vithln the enclosure reserved for the pres
ent district attorney and court officers.
Man ? Wltni'HMCN for Stale.
There was a long list of witnesses for the
prosecution , Including Thomas W. Barlow ,
receiver of the broken People's bank ; State
Treasurer Bcacom , ex-Stato Treasurer
Henry K. Boyer , who Is now director of
the republican machine In this city , who
was president of the People's bank ; George
A Huhn , the leading sleek broker of the
city , through whom 'Jlr. ' Quay transacted
much of his business. David H. Lane , thu
local republican leader ; Richard F. Leper ,
who wa.3 general manager of the assigned
Guarantor's Trust company , through whlcn
the People's bank lc t upwards of $100,000 ;
William Montgomery , cashier of the Alle
gheny National Bank of Plttsburg , Allen H ,
Rorlto of Philadelphia , who Is building tne
state capital ; Charles H. JIcKeo of Pitts-
burg , Kx-Lleutcnant Governor Lyons' law
partner ; Kent Kcrable , an olllcer of the
People's bank , Teller Tabor of the same
bank , nil of the experts who have examined
the books of the bank , and many others , in
all moio than fifty.
The first Juror called was Francis J. Hill ,
n painter. Ho and Adolph I ) . Vnndevcnter ,
cutter , wcro accepted. John W. JlrClen-
nand , signal Inspector , was the first who had
formed an opinion , but said U could bo
changed If the evidence was sufficient. He
was accepted. William Tciutne , paper
hanger ; John J. JIcLaughlln , horscshoor ;
James Bcrcns , harncssmaker , and James F.
Creory. engineer , were accepted.
Talcott Williams , ono of the editors of
the Philadelphia Press , ssld he knpw both
the Quays and Tiad 'formed an opinion , but
h.e felt able to try the case according to the
oMdence. Mr. Shields for the defense cross-
examined. Jlr. Williams admitted that he
had written editorials severely denouncing
thu defendants and had participated In edi
torial councils atwhich the anti-Quay policy
of ( ho paper was discussed and outlined.
Killlor Koiiiiil IiifM > iiiirli | > nl.
The questioning led to a discussion of the
responsibility of an editor for the opinions
expressed by a newspaper employing him and
the political policy of the paper In which
ho had no voice Mr. Williams staled that
although he bad formed an opinion , it was
not fixed , and he felt competent to try the
caco on Us merits , Judge Ulddlo cited a
recent decision by the superior court In the
PltttburK Leader caie , vvlilch ho thought
changed the law on the subject of an edi
torial writer's responsibility.
Mr. Shields finally determined to challenge
Jlr. Williams "for cause , " and the Judge nut-
tallied tbo challenge
George W. MrCall , Charles Elsenhaus ,
agent , Andrew Cochran , designer , and Wll-
I
Ham J Kspcy ciirpentcr , Victe accepted
Hobcrt \nnilenorer was challenged by
Mr Shields , and William Jackson , rlsKf , a

Oeorge W MeC'all , sr. , Juror No 9sas

Mountney , artUt , took hU place. Edward

defense challenged Juror Uevana and Fred
erick Gles succeeded him. Kuhn was chal
lenged by Mr. Shields , exhausting his right
In this respect. Charlea Penzlcr , shoemaker.
succeeded Mr. Kuhn. The court took a
recess.
( lull ) Iiiillrlmrtiti.
Upon court reconvening Mr. Shields In
quired of the district attorney which of the
five Indictments against the two defendants
ho elected to be tried tlrst.
Mr. Hothcrmcl , In reply , said ho was willIng -
Ing , If the defense was , to try the defend
ants Jointly on all the Indictments. Mr.
Shields , however. Insisted that as It was the
commonwealth's duty to elect what lndlct-
ment If any should bo tried that course
should be pursued. The district attorney
thereupon selected the bill charging cx-
Scnator Quay and the late llenjamln H.
Hayvvood. formerly state treasurer , with
conspiracy In the use of the public funds
In the People's bank In a manner unau
thorized by law.
The attention of the Jury was called to
Mr. Haywood's death , thus leaving e.x-
Scnntor Quay alone on trial. Assistant
District Attorney Flnlcttcr , who prepared
the Indictments against Mr. Quay and his
son , made the opening argument for the
commonwealth.
After citing the law bearing on the case ,
Mr. Flnlelter reviewed the two counts of
the Indictment , the first charging con
spiracy to nmkc profit out of the state's
money and the second the use of state
money In n manner not authorized by law.
Ho said the late treasurer of the People's
bank , Hopkins , had unlawfully computed
Interest on state funds deposited by Hay-
wood and that Quay received the profits.
The proof of this , he said , would be
found In the handwriting of Haywood , Hop
kins and Mr. Quay. The charter of the
People's bank was offered In evidence and
counsel for the defense called the court's
attention to the section of the act au
thorizing the Incorporation of the bank ,
which permits the bank to buy and sell
stocks. The defense has contended that
under this privilege It was perfectly law
ful for Cashier Hopkins to transact Mr.
Quay's stock business ,
The first witness called was Thomas H.
Bartow , special assistant to Former Dis
trict Attorney Graham , who was appointed
receiver of the bank at the time of Its
failure. Ho Identified the books of the
bank , papers , letters and other books found
in Hopkins' desk. Among the latter was
one In which there were entries In red
Ink which apparently Indicated computa
tions of Interest on state funds made by
Hopkins. This , counsel agreed to desig
nate as "the red book. "
Court adjourned at 3 05 p. m. until to
morrow morning , when the defense will
cross-examine Mr. Bartow.

( Continued from first Pace )
by the Americans at the taking of Ca\lte-
Agulnaldo raited an army and promised
Admiral Pewey that the warfare should be
conducted upon the recognized methods of
modern warfare , that there should be no
cruelty , murder , nor village. Notwith
standing reports that may ha\o been cabled
nnd written to the United Stales to the
contrary , the Klllplnos have openly chal
lenged anyone to prove ono single In
stance where this promise has been Uo-
lated. They fought the Spaniards e\ery
Inch of the way from Cnvlle right Into the
walled city of Manila. They captured town
after town with thousands of prisoner * and
today hold n considerable number of testimonials
menials from Spanish ofilcers and priests
setting forth their gratitude for the kind
manner In which they had been treated.
"When Agulnaldo niu ! his followers left on
the Mcrulloeh. In their enthusiasm three
Filipinos In Hong Kong raked together by
subscription $60,000 , which they put Into the
hands of Consul General Wlldman for the
purposeof btijlng arms nnd ammunition anil
sending nn expedition over to fight
the common enemy. They afterwards
put Into the hands of Wlldman
on the titu day ot Juno , isns , J17.000 wort ,
for the purpcso of sending another expedi
tion , " nnd he has also received various other
sums of money for which they have never
itcelved any return whatever , and toda )
there Is a suit pending In the Hong Kong
courts nsklng Mr. Wlldman to account to
tlicm for $67,000.
Merrill riiniiKrn the Tnelle * .
"Up to the time of the nrrUnl of General
Merrill there was complete harmony and u
thorough understanding nnd co-opcrntlon he-
twccn the Americans nnd the Filipinos. Tin
general arrived here , so It Is claimed , wltn
orders that ho must n\old compromising Ills
government by nny act of recognition of UK
Filipinos. Instead of temporizing nnd ex
plaining the position to the Filipinos or giv
ing them assurances tliat their past scnlccs. .
would bo recognized In some shape or form
he apparently thought that his proper course
of action wns to Ignore them entirely , re
fuse nil o % ertures from them nnd , In fact , at
later events will show , hutulllnto nnd abuse
them.
"Ono of the conditions of the treaty of the
surrender of Mnnll.i , as signed bctweei
American nnd Spanish olllclals , wns that In
the event of tlie withdrawal of the Amerlcai
and Spanish forces from the Philippines the
armd and ammunition surrendered by the
Spaniards would be returned to them. 1
have It from n gentleman very closely con
nected with Agulnaldo nnd the Filipinos
that General Agulnaldo repeatedly advised
the Americans that the reason that the Fil
ipinos still remained underarms wns because
of their fear that tllo Americans would
withdraw and return the arms nnd ammu
nition to the Spanish soldiers , from wtoom
they could expect no mercy. They also
promised that If the United States officials
would assure them that the Islands would not
bo returned to Spain they would lay dews
their arms at once and go back to theU
homes and occupations. In fact the Fil
ipinos wcro not In a financial position to
support the army that they were keeping
up and to continue to feed Spanish prisoners
None w'ere so anxious as they to lay down
their arms , but to all their overtures no
answer would be given and. In fact , their
emissaries were treated with the greatest
contempt and ridicule , lory often being de
nied an audience even with the under offi
cials. I have the following facts from t >
gentleman residing In Manila at the Unit ,
nnd whose statements I feel safe In guaran
teeing to be true.
Ileiieiit of Their Promise * .
"It was common talk In the cafes that
the Americans , repenting of thelr'promlsea
and--assurances made to-Agulnaldo , were
seeking a pretext to Justify a repudiation
of them , and that the best possible course
to this end would DC to tiring about a con
flict , A trick that was practiced In the
second week of September Is still fresh In
the minds of both American and Filipino
officers and civilians In Manila. Word was
sent in from one of the American outpceta
that a Filipino soldier had notified the sen-
tr > that If the American force was no'
withdrawn from that particular outpost
within thirty minutes they would be fired
upon. The threat was Immediately sent to
headquarters and general alarm prevailed.
Troops were hurried to the front , and the
whole city of Manila wa * In a state or
excitement ; as the rumor was carried from
mouth to mouth It was considerably added
to and intensified , until the report was
current that a general attack had been made
by the Insurgents , and that fighting was
going on at the front. A friend of the Filipinos
pines Immediately rode to their headquar
ters In the suburbs , which were in charge
of Mr. Samlico ; there everything was found
to bo quiet , and everyone in complete ig
norance of the alarm existing in the city.
Upon being Informed of the state ot affairs
Sandlco Immediately sought out a prominent
American officer , and with him rode to the
outpost In question , where It was found
that they , too , llko Sandlco , wore In com
plete Ignori.icc of iny proposed attack , ami
although Inquiry WTH made of all the out
posts no one could bo found that knew
an > tnlng of the rumor.
"Next day an order wan Usucd by Gen
eral Otis , commanding the Filipinos , to
evacuate the quarters they then occupied
within the lines of the American soldiers
within thrco da > s. This order was no doubt
a wlai one , but If the American command
ers had notified Agulnaldo that owing to
the Increasing rumors and alarm It was
deemed advisable that the Filipinos bhoula
ho withdrawn and a neutral 70110 estab
lished between the two forces , thereby re
ducing the possibility of n conflict , the re
quired object would have been attained and
a better feeling existed. Instead of this
the orders was harsh and peremptory ; they
wore given three days to move out. To
these unacquainted with the ntnto of af
fairs the hardships resulting from this order -
dor may not bo generally understood ; the
officers and soldiers of the Klllplnos were
quartered In houses , nnd to move from thwo
quarters Into nn open country with no tnnti
or camp equipage In a Reason of the year
whun tropical ehowers were of dally oo-
curronce , meant privation nnd hardship ,
Notwithstanding thin , and although they
were given tlireo days to move out , on the
second day they marched out with ( lags
waving , nnd actually giving clieurn for tholr
American friends.
Another Oriler to llote.
"Tho Filipinos had Just got comfortably
ocated In their new quarters when anntlmr
order was Issued to go further out ; bfcause
hey did not move quickly enough , although
within the proscribed time , the report waa
maliciously circulated that they did not In
tend to move and would resUt. A call upon
Agulnulilo by the Informant led to the ill- ,
co\ory that they were using every effort ( '
move as quickly as ptaalble , and Agulnaldo
simply nalJ that ho was sure that t'lo
Americans did not undcrstaud the hardship
that tticfo orders entailed upon liU soldier
The further they went anay from the clij
of Manila the warso the country 1xcamo. ) ;
nnd It was with great difficulty that Agul
naldo obtained food and shelter for his
men.
"After permitting their little vessels lo
ply around the harbor for months convoyIng -
Ing supplies to the various places where
the FlllpliKH 'hud troops stationed , Admiral
Donoy suddenly seized the launches , aim
when a representative was sent by Agul-
naldo , not to demand , but to 'beg for an
explanation he was treated most discourte
ously and virtually fired off tbo ship. Any
mcaiiongor that e\or went there was treated
In a elmllar way. The messenger that wai
tsent by AKUlnaldo lo General Otlu waa re-
admittance or rwcoKnltlon
Iho rilljtluoa formed a congress und
Agulnatdo wns elected dictator to this nc-
llon no pro-test was entered either officially
or In A friendly manner Tliry were al
lowed lo form their R0\ernment nt Mnlolnj
without n protMt or nn Intimation from the
I'nllrtl State * that they would look upon
It with unfriendly eyp .
"The I'nlted Stntts government , through
officials , raided this Infant republic , nour
ished it , allowed It to grow and bocom.
strong , until the government and power of
Agulnaldo had spread over the whole of thn
Islands , bringing under his control people
that even the Spanish go > ernmcnt had never
ruled , then ttiey find Ihnt they must not
compromise the United States go\crnnioii' ,
and with the Idei that they are carrjlng
out this policy they Ignore the Filipinos'
growing strength nnd refuse to listen to
their overtures for the t-cttlcment of diffi
culties.
ItpMiiIlM lit it Cotiltlet ,
"Tho result of all thcso pnnocatlons has
boon the battle of Manila between the In
surgent nnd American forces , that must be
still fresh In the mind of the world When
the true facts are known nnd the number
of women nnd children that were slain Is
published people will ask who were thn
greater oppressors , the Americans or the
Spaniards ? The Americans In that ono
day and night slaughtered more defenseless
people than Spain did In two centuries.
The fate of the treaty of peace was to bo
decided on the 6th day of February nnd
many people go to far as to declare that
this conflict was brought about purposely
for political reasons In order to ensure the
ratification of the treaty with the Spaniard ?
by the United States senate That It was
not a prearranged affair on the part of thu
Filipinos wo need only refer to the Ameri
can officers' reports. The Filipino officers
wore all away at a sort of Jubilee meetlni ,
or feast and It Is qulto unlikely that If
general attack was premeditated upon th
American forces that their officers wouli
not ha\e been In their places and Agulnald
near the direct movements. The news
paper * here contain reports of women an
children shot down llko so utnny sheep ; the
speak of fifty being found dead In enfield
field , seventy-five In another ; 125 In entrench
trench and so on. Is this the work of th
great American people , who entered upo
a warfare owing to the cries for help b
the poor Cubans !
"Ily the tlmo this letter reaches you th
passion of the conflict will bo over am
then the American people want to use thel
common sense and carefully Investigate n
these disgraceful charges.
"From what I have learned nnd observe
the acquisition of the Philippines by th
United States is sure to result In a costl
experiment. The annexation of thes
Islands has no doubt been prompted b
pressure brought to bear upon the admin
Istration by certain business Interests. I
from such a course they look for nn
benefit their expectations will be doome
to disappointment. With whom do they ex
pect to do business ? There are from 10.000 ,
000 to 12,000,000 Filipinos and a few hun
dred Europeans and these Europeans ar
thcro to compete with the Americans
"If , after the fall of Manila and the sign
Ing of the protocol , assurances had been
given to the Filipinos that they could leav
tholr case In the hands of the American
and that they would be treated Justly am
fairly , the Americans would have eventual !
owned the Islands. Thus , all other thing
being equal , by the goodwill and gratltud
of the Islanders no one could have touchei
the Americans In competition. Today th
word 'American' Is more detested by th
rillplnos than the Spaniards ever were ant
business between Americans and Filipino
will only be possible If the latter canno
obtain from any other nationality tha
which they may require.
