Must Retain Manila.

From the Chicago Evening Post
All talk of merely retaining a coaling
station in the Philippines when we already
possess Manila Bay outrases the decision
OF the American people to seize what the
opportunity OF the century has thrown in
our laps. coaling station means little
or nothing to commerce. 1t Is simply a wise
precaution in anticipation of war Pearl
Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands would not
have been worth a figs purchase in this
war If Spain had held Honolulu 1t is the
possession of Honolulu that gives CONNER
cial importance and naval value to our ac-
QUESTION of the Hawaiian Islands
1t will be a crime against the present and
future commerce of the United States in
the Pacific If, having acquired Manila by
force of arms, We surrender it and all its
adVanteges-equal to those of Hong-Kong-
for that vague thing, "a coaling station in
the Philippines"

An Imperative Requirement.
From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph,

The Philippine question is a mere incident
of the war, unforeseen when we entered
upon hostilities, and to be settled by con-
siderations entirely different from those
which prevail in dealing with the West In
dian Islands. In the settlement of this in
cidental question we may be prompted to
deal generously with an utterly broken foe
but we are imperatively required to be just
to ourselves and to the millions Of people
whose future is involved in the issue.

Let Us Take the Philippines in Their
Entirety.
From the Boston Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller.
1here is every reason for the United
States 10 insure protection and liberty to
the people of the Philippines. The same
dictates of humanity which enlisted our aid
Tor Cuba operate with respect to the Phil
1ppines. Spain has been terrible opprass-
or, and the people of the islands, while re-
Voting against tyranny. have manifested
an ability and courage which justifies their
claim for liberty. The triumph of Dawey
demands substantial recognition by our gov
eminent. and in no better way can it be
given than by insuring freedom to an op-
pressed people. There is no selfishness in
this. If we take the Philippines from Spain
1t Will not be for ourselves, but for the peo-
pie or the islands, and Spain in their loss
will be but paying in part the debt she owes
for the horrors and losses of a war which
she provoked.
Let US take the Philippines in their en-
tirety in the name of liberty

Has Not Kept Faith with Cuba.
From the Denver Times.

The Times. in common with the Ameri-
can people generally, has entire faith in
the probity of the administrators inten-
tlons. But even it may be tie victim Of de-
signing and selfish interests. The proper
way to avoid the possibility Of any such
thing is to proceed right from the begin
ming. Up TO this stage of the proceedings
the government has not kept faith with She
insurgents in Cuba. 1t should lose 40 time
in rectifying the error.

habitants of the coasts of the more south
erly islands of the group are fanatic Mos

and who hate thar Christian brethren of
the north as fiercely the Turks hate the
Armenans There is certainly nothing to
attract us to the task of ruling some eight
millions OF semi-barbarians, who speak n
score OF diferent tongues and who live on
anything from boiled rice to roasted grass
hoppers.

From the Leavenworth Times.

From the Leavenworth Times
If 1t is true, as reported that President
Mckinley is willing to give up the Philip
pines to Spain. excepting only coaiing
station on the islands, he is making terms
more liberal than could be expected and
more liberal u4an could pe found in the
precedents of history. We think the United
States Is in duty bound to keep the Philip
pines.

World.

From the Utica Press.
1t is altogether probable that the terms
finally agreed upon by President Mckinley
and NJ. Cambon will be the terms of the
hnal peace treaty. There may be some de-
lays of diplomacy, but the fact that the
war is being carried right along will serve
to hasten negotiations for its finish The
present week is quite likely to see the def

mater is such as to command the respect
of the entire world

A colored laborer. named Edward jack
son, while at work in the big sewer near
22d and B streets northwest this morning,
was struck by one Of the iron buckets used
on the work and was SO seriously injured
that he was removed to the Emergency
Hospital. The doctors at the institution
found that he had sustained a broken
shoulder. his head had been cut and his
body badly bruised. While his injuries are
serious, 1t is thought he will recover.

Keep the Philippines.


From the Kansas City Star
The Philippines belong to the United
States by all Of the rules and precedents of
warfare They are necessary to the plan
which conrempiates a wider and more am
bilious field of usefulness for the United
States. They can never again be manacled
by Spain, and the nation to possess them is
that into whose hands they have fallen by
a series of events which, though unJ xpect-
ed seem to point to a result which this
country must accept.

Expressions of Opinion as to the Future Of
the Philippine Islands.
Reasons Why the United States
Should Retaia PosxeSsfon-SOme
Contrary Views.
Dual ProtectOrate Infinitely Better
Than Joint Commission.

A Dual ProtectOrate Infinitely Better
Than "a Joint Commission.
From the New York Herald. =
BY making the offer of joint commission
President Mckinley has shown lack of
firmness and determination He has made
too great concession to Spain, and one
which the country cannot approve. AS
Senator Hanna well says, although there
may be sentiment against keeping the
Philippines. there is a bigger sentiment
against giving them back to Spain" The
truth Of this is attested by the ringing
views voiced by papers in all parts of the
country against their return.
A protectorate would keep them In the
hands of the United States and Spain. 1t
would put quietus on the covetous de-
signs of European powers and thereby
avoid all danger of foreign complications
and European war. It would assure good
government for the islands and thereby
avert Malayan anarchy Finally, 1t would
secure to the United States the full fruits
OF Dewey's splendid victory and of the
war.
BY all means the United States should
maintain strong hold on the Philippines.
and this end cannot be better attained than
by joint protectorate Of Spain and the
United States.

The Exact Phili ppine Situation.
From the Philadelphia Press


While Spain might yield a coaling port,
1t would naturally object to giving up Ma
nilla. The United States cannot surrender
us conquest and accept Spain's disposi-
uon OF the coaling station question. The
natural compromise is for each to keep
what they have, pending peace, and de-
clde e; the future Of the islands by diplomacy.
In1s seems to be the conclusion reached
on on plecing together the different reports

Should Not Shirk the RespOnaI

From the Chicago News
We do not need to annex the Philippines
but there is much merit in the assertion
that We have no right to shirk the respon-
sibiiity We are under to do for the op-
pressed Philippines what we have under
taken to do for the prosecuted Cubans
Evening star., 1898-08-02


The view which we believe will be COM
mended to the sober judgment of the world
is that set forth by the London Times That
Is. that the United States shall take Porto
Rlco absolutely. and shall undertake the
burden OF giving to Cuba and the Philip
pines strong, honest government. How
the latter task is to be effectsd does not yet
appear, but it may be entered upon with mn
Illusions and with no pretenses. There Is
no reason to expect It to be an easy task In
either case. But it must be done, and, as
the Times says, for us to do it will be for
the good of the world at large.
From the Boston Globe
1t may not be easy to decide what to do
with the Philippines. but the United States
KNOWS what not to do with them. They
must not be given over Internationally to
the tender mercies of Spain.
The Philippines Not Wanted.

Should Not BE Restored to Spain.
From the Syracuse Standard

Although the American government de-
fers a decision touching the Philippine Is
lands, t. has not resolved on returning
them to Spain. The suggestion of their
restoration has provoked remonstrances at
home and abroad against what is treated
as proposal to avoid responsibility. It is
said by one of the London newspapers that
the withdrawal of American authority may
lead to a general war, in which America
will ultimately be drawn, which is sub
stentially what this paper said Friday
morning.

The Philippines Should BE Retained.
From the ST. Joseph (Mo) Herald.

Therefore II the war lasts one year be-
fore peace is proclaimed. Spain will have
an indemnity claim of half-billion dollars
against her. AS Spain can never pay such
an indemnity, or even half of it should the
war conclude before the end Of the year, in
cash, so we mast look to Spanish territory
for the payment. We can not take Cuba.
for the government stands committed not
to retain that island. Porto Rico will hard
ly pay the indemnity, despite its fruitful
ness and wealth of resource. Unless the
United States shows generosity never be-
fore eQualed in modern times, the Philip
pines will be retained. But that question
will be settled to the satisfaction of the
people. President Mckinley has sought an

No Inch of Soil Should BE Returned
to Spanish Rule.

From the Scranton Tribune.
It Is clear from the logic of events
through which can be perceived with plain
ness the guiding hand Of Providence that
no inch Of soil anywhere wrested by force
of American arms from Spanish rule will
ever be turned over by an American ad-
ministration to the hands OF a govern
ment less fitted than our own for con-
ferring upon the people within it's juris-
diction the blessings Of liberty, security
of person and property. freedom of con-
science and equality before the law. To
think otherwise would be to insult the tra-
ditions of American history and do vio-
lence to the spirit of our existeEce as a
nation.
