What Shall Be Done With Them.

Spanish rule must be very bad or there Is
spirit of independence growing that dem ands
sef-government. The rebellion in Cuba is
the cause of the present WAR with Spain, but
the latter government has another rebellion
to deal with in the Philippine Islands. In
Porto Rico. too. there is desire to throw off
the Spanish yoke.
On this side of the water independence, if
gained. could be maintained, because the
United States would not permit any foreign
power to seize any of the islands. But it
would be different with the Philippines.
With Spanish authority expelled, England,
France. Germany. Russia and Japan would
all be liable to seize the islands, or at least
one of them, and the scramble might lead to
a general war; When China was overpow
cred by Japan. and the once great empire
left helpless. Russia, Germany and England
each took port as basis of operations in
the East.
As the United States has taken Manila,
the capital, and practically expelled the
Spanish from the Philippines, what TO do
with the islands is matter for deep consid-
Grafton. The President and Cabinet have
decided to send supplies and about five thous-
and soldiers to Commodore Dewey, but after
the war is over what is to be done with The
islands is an important question. To hold
them would require the maintenance of an
army there, for the inhabitants number about
eight millions Of people and might rebel
against the United States, and some naval
vessels would have to be kept there also.
The United States have declared in advance
that they had no purpose Of acquiring Cuba,
but only intended to expel the Spanish and
restore peace. Not desiring to exercise ju-
riSdicton and control there it would be nat
ural to suppose that we do not desire to OBJ
tain the Philippines. Cuba is near at hand
and would be easily controlled and without
much expense. The Philippines are seven
thousand miles away and might prove trouble
some.
The policy of this country has been against
conquest and colonization. and we have
avoided the necessity of maintaining large
standing ARMY We also avoided for
egn complications and war, 50 long as We
attended to our own affairs. Had that
policy been strictly adhered to we would moi
now be at war with Spain. To hold the
Philippines would be great bunder. When
we have gotten what we want, the islands ought
10 be given up, either to Spain or to the ma.
lives and effort ought to be made to get the
European powers to guarantee their ndepen-
dence. The United States might, and per
haps ought to, make provision for a perma-
nent foothold as coaling station.
