The Philippines.
Philadelphia Telegraph.

How much help would the Philippine ISL
ands want in order to secure their indie
pendence, and how far wouldn't be prac-
drift into a war with Spain? This may pos
sibly prove an interesting question, and it
is one to which we may find 1t worth While
to look for an answer The probabilities are
that a war with Spain would be wound up in
very short order within few miles of our
own shores. Spain must reach out three
thousand miles across the seas to prevent
our giving life and liberty to the people OF
Cuba since that is the only object we have
In view, and we can afford TO await her ap-
proach until she comes within striking dis
tance of our base of operations. At the
same time we might find it expedient to
effect a diversion by sending an expedition
20 the Philippines. and with that possibility
in view ii is worth while TO inquire what
are the chances of success for the revolu-
tionists there. and what would be our most
effective means of extending aid TO them.
