London, May THE Spectator in an
article urges America to keep the Phil

OF 20. 900 men ''and with this effective
sepoy army hold the Philippines, Ha-
wall and Porto Rico, paying army occu'
patton out Of local revenues" The
Spectator adds:
with such a garrison these Islands
would be safe rs drawing room, and
as full Of business as Broadway or the
Strand"
Referring TO outcome Of war, The
Spectator remarks;
Americans will emerge from the war
with new ideas and larger ambitions.
They will have defeated second class
European state and feel acutoly that, as
matters stand. they would have been de-
fea,ed by a first class one. They would
