works and was heartily applauded The
rooms were gaily festooned with American
flags. and decorated with ported plants
which made pleasing background for

will find ourselves in the unpleasant
business Of doing for Spain all that
Spain's army and late lamented navy
would have to do. To hold the coallng
station we would have to reduce the
islands and put down the revolution

United States do this? 1t ought not to
be necessary to ask such a question OF
any true citizen Of this republic. The
fact is that without intending conquest
we have got our foot in the Philippines

Leavenworth Times (Rep.): The Pres
ident is said to desire full and frank eX-
preston Of popular opinion on this diff
ficult problem. The conscience and rea-
son Of the American nation will not be
satisfied with occupying a mere coaling
or naval station. The only right sOlu-
tion is to occupy and govern the Phil
ippines. The same motives which led
to the war for Cuba libre are potent In
this Pacific archipelago to which the for
tunes Of war have brought our army
and navy How can we abandon the
Philippines to Spain?
Kansas City Tribune (Rep.): For our
retention of the islands Philippines,
except to embarrass Spain and hasten
the end OF the war, no reason has yet
been given. While the fact that to try
to keep and control them means all
kinds of trouble Is plain to be seen.
This war, as has often been said, is
unlike any other the world ever saw.
Had there been a dispute as to terrific
rial lines, had the mistreatment Of Amer
| lean citizens, the destruction Of our
battle ship or any conflicting interest
been made the basis Of our declaration
of war, and the war waged in defense
of some right or the redress OF some
wrong, we should have legitimate ex-
cuse for claiming indemnity for the ex-
pence incurred in getting our deserts.
But we have put 1t upon different ba-
sis, proclaimed ourselves humanitarians
and declared the war to be In tho inter-
est OF humanity. We were the aggres-
sors and ordered Spain out Of domain
already hers. When she is ready to quit
that domain the purpose of the war Is
fully accomplished and to cavil about an
indemnity would be to rob ourselves Of
all the credit of doing a good thing
from lofty motives.
Topeka Capital (Rep): Some Ameri-
cans think that all we need ask from
Spain in the Philippines is coaling
station This Is a mistake. If all we
ask in the Philippines Is cOaling sta

Spanish sovereignty in the islands is
a total wreck and the King of Spain has
nothing there to give. If we take a
coaling station from Spain we will have
to fight for it with the insurgents Of the
