presses the following opinion con-
corning the Philippines:
As to keeping the Philippines, II Is my opin.

Ing the Islands against meddlins European
nations TO whom they would DO more

and breach OF faith with the insurgents
(nuisances, though they are) to give Il back 70
Spain It Is impra,ticable to give the natives
free rein to q government Of their own. and
absurd TO divide the islands between European
nations. which have no claim TO them what
ever. The only other course Is TO keep
them. ut least, until order Is fully estab-
lished, laws reformed and the natives,
many OF whom aro highly intelli-
