?nWn7
I'iiuiuiu iirmiy nnu justly, eager to re
sort to gentle measuren wherever poM
)1p. unyielding when treachery nnd vio
lence made force necessary. 1'nllke the
exponents of expansion we do not regard
the soldier of Otis. Lawton nnd MacAr
tliur as nn "enemy's camp." In our eyes
hey are the soldier of the Fnlted States;
they are our army, and we believe In them
tind will sustain them. Even now the
democrats are planning If they sot control
of the house to rut off appropriations for
wie army anil inns compel the withdrawal
of our troops from the Philippines. The
result would be to force the retirement
of such soldiers ns would remain In Manila
and their retreat would be the slcnal for
the massacre nnd plunder of the body of
peaceful Inhabitants of the lslandu who
have trusted to us to protect .ind cunrd
them. Such nn event would be an In
famy. Is the government. Is the house, to
be given over to a party capable of such
a policy? The restoration of peuce and
order now so nearly reached In the Philip
pines shall be completed. Civil govern
ment shnll bo established nnd the people
advanced ns rapidly as possible ulong the
road to entire freedom and to self-government
under our Hag
Choice of rolleles.
The choice lies between the democratic
policy of retreat and the republican policy
which would hold the Islands, give them
freedom and prosperity and enlarge those
great opportunities for ourselves and our
posterltv. The democratic attitude toward
the Philippines rests wholly upon tho
proposition that tho American people have
neither the capacity nor the honesty to
denl rlrhtly with these Islands. They as
sume tnai wo snnii ran. uney ran itown
and worship a Chinese half-breed .wliose
name they had never heard three years
2ROi..a,?I.1 u 1 "lander and cry down and '
doubt th honor of American soldiers and
sailors, of admirals and cenerals and nubile .
men wno nave gone in ann out Derore us
during an entire lifetime. We are true to
our own. u e have no distrust of the honor,
the humanity, the capacity of the Ameri
can people. To feel or do otherwise Is to
doubt ourselves, our Kovernment and our
civilization. We take Issue vlth the demo
crats who would cast oft the Phllloplnes
because the American nrnnle cannot be
trusted with them and we declare that the i
American people can be trusted to deal
Justly, wisely and generously with theso
distant Islands and will lift them up to a I
hltrher prosperity, a broader freedom and a
nonier civilization tnan tney nnve ever ,
known. We have not failed elsewhere.
We shall not fall here.
Those are the questions we present to the
American people In regard to the Phllln
pines. Do they want such a humlllatlnt:
change there as democratic victory would
bring? Do they want an even more radical
change at home? Suppose the candidate
of tho democrats, tho populisms, the foes
of expunslon. the dissatisfied and tho
envious, should come Into power, what
kind of an administration would he give
ns? What would his cabinet be? Think
what nn electric spark of confidence would
run through every business Interest In the
country when such a cabinet was an
nounced as we can readily Imagine he
would make.
More Important still, we ask the Ameri
can people whether they will put In tho
White House tho hero of uncounted plat
forms, the prodlgnl spendthrift of words,
tho champion of free silver, the opponent
of expansion, the assailant of the courts;
or whether they will retain ln the presi
dency the union soldier, the leader of tho
house of representatives, the trained states
man who has borne victoriously the heavy
burdens of the last four years, the cham
pion of protection nnd sound money, tho
fearless supporter of law nnd order wher
ever the ill's floats?
Whnt n Clinnne Menus,
But there is one question which we will
put to the American people In this cam
paign which Includes and outweighs all
others. We will say to them, you wero
ln the depths of ndverslty under the last
democratic administration, you are on the
helchts of prosperity today. Will that
prosperity continue If you make ti change
in your president and In the party which
administers your government, how long
will your good times last If you turn out
the republicans nnd give political power to
those who cry nothing but "Woe, woe."
the movers of calamity and foes of pros
perity vho hold success In business to be
a crime, and who regard thrift as a mis
demeanor? If the democrats should win
do you think business would Improve? Do
you think that prices would remain steady,
thnt wages would rise and employment in
crease when the result of the election was
known? Business confldenco rests largely
upon stntlment. Do you think that senti
ment would be a hopeful one the day after
Bryan's election? Business confidence Is
a delicate plant. Do you think It would
flourish with the democratic party? Do
you not know that If Brye.n were elected
the day after the news was Hashed over
the country wnges would go down, prices
would decline and that the great amount
of American business now forging ahead
over calm waters, with fair breezes and
with swelling canvases, would begin to
take In sail nnd seek shelter and anchorage
In the nearest harbor? Do you not know
from recent and bitter experience what
that arrest of movement, that fear of the
future means? It means the contraction
of business, the reduction of employment,
the Increase of the unemployed, lower
wages, hard times, distress, unhapplness.
We do not say that we have panaceas
for every human 111. We do not claim
that any policy we or any one else can
offer will drive from the world sorrow nnd
suffering nnd poverty, but wo say that so
far as government nnd legislation can se
cure the prosperity and well being of the
American people, our administration and
our policies will do it. We point to the
adversity of the Cleveland years lying dark
behind us, It has been replaced by the
prosperity of the McKlnley years. Let
them make whatever explanation they will
the facts are with us.
New nt the dawn of a new century, with
new oollcles and new opportunities open
ing beforo us in the bright sunshine of
prosperity, wo again ask the American peo
Pie to entrust us with their future. We
have profound faith In tho people. We
do not distrust their capacity of meeting
the new- responsibilities even as they met
the old. and we shall nw'ait with con
tldencu under the leadership of William Mc
Klnley the verdict of November.

WASHINGTON, June 20 The Navy de

Kciiiin'n Dispatch of Current Ilnlr.
Owing to the disinclination of Acting Sec
retary Hackett to take the responsibility
upon his shoulders of making public any
portion of Admiral Kcmpff'a dispatch. It was
not until late in the afternoon and after
the president had given his approval that
ttie rather meager statement of the ad

June 20. The admiral's statement that heavy
flrlne was heard at Tien Tsln nn the nvm.
,lng of the 17th, possibly is the basis for
the report current In Europe that Pekln
was attacked that day by the foreign
column, although It seems incredible that
the sound of any such artillery as could
have been carried by Admiral Seymour's
light column could have been heard seventy-five
miles, tho distance irom Pekln to
Tien Tsln. It Is possible that the admiral
1 ' --.....
mfans that he himself, at Taku, heard
.heavy firing In progress at Tien Tsln. thirty
" -'-t-tt. though wh an open river
above him to that point and gunboats capa-
! ble of navigating tho channel, lying at Tien
Tsln, it would seem that he should have
been able ln that case to ascertain what the
firing meant ln the two days that elapsed
r between the 17th and tho date of his dis
patch. i Naval officers generally bitterly regret
that Admiral KcmpfT was not In the fight
ing at Taku. Up to the recslptof hU
dispatch this afternoon they bad contlnud
to hope, even in the face of the forelrn
reports to the contrary, that ths American
naval forces had taken some part In re
pelling the attack of the Chinese forts.
Hut the admiral's statement that the forti
were captured by "tho other foreign forces"
dismissed that hope. The prevailing Ilea
among the naval officers is that the reduc
tion of those forts was absolutely necessary
to the safe progress of any International
relief expedition to Pekln and that Ad
i mlral Kempff should have found it to bo
I wtthtn his duty ln the protection of "all"
American interests to have borno his part
ln tho burden. Much depends, however,
on the exact terms of his instructions and
ln fact It Is not known definitely whether
or not he actually received all of his in
structions. The responsible officials there-
foro are making no criticisms of the ad
miral's conduct.

that General MaeArthur executed his In
structions as promptly as possible and
that the delay ln the departure of the
troops was duo entirely to conditions that
could not have been anticipated or guarded
against.
Foreljsn Colony Is I'nprrpnrrd.
An ovldenco of the total unpreparednes
of the foreign colony ln Pekln for the Boxer
uprising Is afforded by a mall report to tho
State department from Minister Conger. In
which he -wroto from Pekln April 16, 1900,
that he had succeeded In obtaining permis
sion from the Tsung LI Yamen to admit
free of duty the goods to be placed on ex
hibition in the American warehouse ln
Shanghai, to be established by the National
Association of Manufacturers. Bond was to
be given that none of the goods would be
sold.
Evidently the minister was zealously de
voting his attention to the Introduction nt
American wares into China, without appre
hension of a reactionary movement.

vast company we have no means of re
lieving. Pestilence will follow In the wnke
of the famine as an Inevitable result. The
people say they do not fear the war ns
much as they fear starving to death. But
the horrors of tho two together will be
dreadful. When the vast numbers of Chi
nese soldiers commence to flee before their
enemies thy will spread all around the
country and Increase the devastation. Tho
war will serve to show the corruption of
tho whole system of government as noth
ing else could. Public funds have been
squandered no one knows how. I cannot
help hoping that the humiliation of China
this time will be complete enough for them
to realize It.
If the present dynasty Is not overthrown
now it must bo sooner or later for tho peo
ple have long been dissatisfied with it.
DEPARTMENT DENIES REPORT

WASHINGTON. June 20. Tho dispatch
from Shanghai last night to the effect that
the United States transport Thomas, with
troops from Manila, was diverted at Naga
saki and had arrived at Taku with 1,200
men, is said by War department officials to
be without foundation.
The records of the department show that
tho Thomas sailed from San Francisco Juno
18, with seven officers and 392 men aboard,
bound direct for Manila; It is ot course im
possible that sho could have arrived at
Nagasaki. The Sherman sailed from San
Francisco Juno 1 and is due ln Manila about
Juno 21. Sho had aboard twelve men of the
hospital corps in addition to her crew. The
third troop transport now In use U the
Logan, which In at Manila waiting for fair
weather to convey the Ninth Infantry to
Taku.
Tho government is In a position to for
ward reinforcements to China from San

cirangemcnts already have been completed
for tho dispatch of two squadrons of tho
Sixth cavalry, numbering about 900 men, and

NEW YORK. June 20. A special to the
Tribune from Washlnelnn .iv- nonaril
MaeArthur has not yet reported his seler-
tlon of the two additional regiments to bo
sent to Tien Tsln on the transports War
ren and Sherman, but the authorities of tho
War department think that one of them will
be the Fourteenth or the Twentieth In
fantry, now on provost guard duty In
Manila, tho place of one or tho other ot
them bclns taken by a regiment nearby.
The other. It Is thought, will be tho
Twenty-second Infantry, now In the paclflel
section along the railroad, whenco the
Ninth was wltUdrann. Ths Sixth cavalry,
now camped south of Manila, In the Cavlte
province, will be distributed In the country
formerly protected by tho Ninth and
Twenty-second Infantry regiments.
Chagrin la expressed that General Mac
rthur cannot start the Ninth regiment be
fore next Sunday and that the United States
must bo represented altogether by
naval
forces until the last day of June at least.
The Oregon will not reach Taku for at least
a week. If not ten days. The gunboats
Princeton nnd Marietta will probably start
from Cnvite on Wednesday to Join Admiral
Kempff.
