SECRETARY HAYS SPECIAL PLEA

Chicago Inter Ocean.
In his latest defense of the open-door
policy in the Philippines Secretary
Hay furnishes a clear case of special
pleading. He builds his argument on
an assumption of facts which are dis
proved by the recent publications of
the consular bureau OF his own de-
partment. I'VE have" he says, the
bulk of the trade with the Phillip
pines" AS matter of fact, we have
less than onc-sixth Of it, and when it
comes to exports to the islands only
about l per cent. now belongs to the
United States. Mr.. Hays idea of

Major General John Il. Brooke, his
staff and escort, have completed two
thirds of their journey across the island
toward this city. The march has been
like march through a friendly territory.
On Saturday General Brooke stopped at
Cayey. Yesterday he reached Caguas,
twenty miles from here. This afternoon
he enters Rio Piedras, one OF the aristo-
cratic suburbs. Of San Juan, where he
will establish his headquarters.
General Brooke has accepted the hospi-
tality of Captain General Macias, who
graciously offered him the use of his
private residence at Rio Piedras.
The column, though small is imposing
and is making Il deep impression. AS it
wound its way over stately mountains,
covered to their SUBMITS with coffee and
tobacco plantations and through broad
valleys. General Brooke. with his chief
of staff, rode at its head. The natives,
who had news of the coming of the
Americans. lined the roads. their faces
showing their pleasure. although there
was no demonstrations. AT intervals
along the way the Spanish soldiers of the
Guarda Civil presented arms as our
troops passed.
AT Cayey and Caguas, the Spanish
commanders received General Brooke
with marked courteses and the Alcaldes
paid official visits, extending welcomes
to their towns.
At Caguas, where q thousand Spanish
regulars are stationed under the COM
mand of Colonel Rodriguez. the ceremony
was pretentious The Spanish buglers
gave the fourishes in honor of major
general upon our arrival. Houses had
been set apart for the accommodation or
General Brooke and his staff.
The infantry and cavalry companies
camped in the outskirts Of the town and
were visited by the Spanish soldiers.
There was no display Whatever of i'll
feeling, Spaniards and Americans min
ged freely, fraternizing and exchanging
buttons as souvenirs. Already many Of
the American soldiers are buttonless.
Spanish flags flew at Cayey and Ca
guas. hut as guests in an enemy's coun-

Our stalwart soldiers and massive
horses cause ceaseless wonder to the ma

the change in the last two or three days
that it was feared the patient would not
survive many days.
Mr.. Bayard came to Karlstein about
three weeks ago. His health was not
good, and during the first two weeks ii
did not improve. A week ago change
came which appeared to be a gradual
breaking up of the system, combined
with kidney trouble
At first it was not deemed likely
that his case would prove serious, but
the extreme heat Of the last few DAYS
had a depressing effect upon the patient.
and on Friday anxiety was 4keenly felt.
A consultation of physicians was held.
Late on Friday favorable turn was
noted, but yesterday the change was for
the worse. To-day Mr.. Bayard was
semi-conscious, with n fair pulse to give
hope that a favorable turn might soon
come.
