are legal from the standpoint OF interna-
tional law is begging the real question.
This country is big enough to have shown
its faith by its works. Here was the time
and opportunity for us TO have given a
practical demonstration OF our adherence
TO principle for which we have been con-
tending ever since the government was es-
tablished. III instead OF running In a few
Spanish ships manned by men who. in all
human probability, had no knowledge
either of the existence Of war or of the
proclamation Of the blockade, our ships had
simply warned them Of the situation and
given them an opportunity to go on their
way, we would have shown that we believe
what we have been advocating. Instead Of
that we resort to petty methods OF aggres-
sion upon innocent non .combatants which
might well be characterized as little else
than legalized piracy.
In all probability we are put in this at
titude because OF the utter incompetence
of our state department. II the man who
has all the time been the secretary of state
though only recently given the title--had
been man of any training in, or knowl-
edge OF state affairs, Ii Is ineonceivabe
that the government would have been al
lowed to place itself in such an unenviable
light
More times than one has there been
bunging in the handling OF the fore .gn
policy of this government; morcl than once
before this have we had at the head of the
state department men OF notorious incom-
petencc; but unless all signs fail none OF
his predecessors can compare in this re
specific William r. Day of Canton.

NO PHILIPPINE coNDoM1NIUM.

The president has directed General
Merritt that there must be no joint oc-
! cupation of Manila-bay, city and har-
bor-with the insurgents. That is the
| only order that could have been sent
him, and had it not been he would no
doubt have adopted the same policy.
We are in the Philippines through he
fortunes of war. and are not there TO
aid the insurgents in any manner. The
insurgents would very likely be glad
to occupy Manila Jointly with the
Americans: such occupation would give
them much prestige and be a recogni-
ton of them The thing is absolutely
! impossible now The final status of the
! islands has not been determined upon,
and will not be until the defnitive
treaty of peace has been signed; what
it will then be no one can say; in any
event, the United States are not deal
ing with the insurgents, but with
Spain.
4 condominium with the insurgents
could Only be a source of trouble to
this country. The insurgents could be
relied upon to be continually bringing
about complications and embarrass-
ments of one kind or another, and this
government would have to take the ie-
sponsibility FOR them. for II could not
permit any power to step in and chas-
tise its associates in the government of
the islands.
And what would occur as the result
of a condominium with the Insurgents
would occur if Spain were joined with
this government in the control of the
Philippines in the future. The Ameri-
can peace commissioners should not
tolerate such an idea for a single mo-
ment: to put it in thf treaty Of peace
would only be for this country to SOW
the wind.
If the United States shall retain
much or little in the Philippines, that
much or little should be retained tor
themselves alone; if they assume a
protectorate over the islands, let the
responsibility be single and not divided.
Under no circumstances should the
United States enter into any condomin-
tim plan in the Philippines.
