AGAINST PAYING FOR
 THE PHILIPPINES.
Eleven Senators Express Themselves and None In Favor. of Giving Spain
 Cent In Return.

New York, Nov. 2--In answer to the queery, Do you favor the proposition to pay Spain $40, GOO, 900 for the Philip pines?" II United States senators have telegraphed The World expressing their unalterable opposition to any such plan. The senators are, Jones and Berry of Arkansas, Harris of Kansas, Hale of Maine, Burrows of Michigan, Roach of North Dakota, Chandler of New Hamp- shire, Tillman of South Carolina, Petit grew of South Dakota, Sullivan of Ten- nessee and Daniel of Virginia.
 Senator Hale says:
 Il would not take the Philippines if Spain would give us $40, 10000 with them. The sooner we drop them the better"
 Senator Chandler says:
 If Spain will pay us $40O, GOO, ,000 war indmnity am willing to have her de- duct therefrom $40, 100000 for surren- dering sovereignty in the Philippines, to which we ought to give if possible, the blessings of religious liberty and self government as we have given them to Cuba.
 Senator Tillnan says:
 II am opposed to paying any sum of money to Spain for the Philippines and am fully opposed to holding them as conquered territory But if we demand their cession we could sell them and help pay the expenses of the war. :"
 Senator Pettigrew says:
 Il am not ill favor of acquiring the Philippines at any price. They should be allowed to form a government of their own. All governments derive their just powers from the consent os the governed.
 Senator Sullivan says:
 ''Ihe retention of the Philippines, which I approve, can be justified only as legitimate result of Spanish outrage and American victory, aside from the original question of humanity, would not pay Spain one dollar more for those islands until she has paid for the mur- dered Americans of the Maine. Spain necessitated this war; let her pay for it. The Philippines are ours by conquest not purchase"
