was on the president of the United States
had simply to carry out the will OF con-
gress and there was nothing else for him
to do. When the will of congress was ex-
pressed, so far as Cuba and Porto Rico were
concerned, an incident occurred 1000 miles
away-an incident which nobody could have
foreseen-and that was the destruction OF
the Spanish fleet by our great admiral,
George Dewey That incident brought on en-
tirely new conditions. Dewey was there with
his fleet and he had no way OF leaving
there or supplying that fleet with
the necessary coal because in state OF war
his fleet could not go back TO China, where
/ he had come from. and IL could not go for
ward to any other country and supply itself
without incurring the risk Of being expelled
right off under the rules OF international law

Impractical Remedies.

The third proposition of Colonel
Bryan is to kill the trusts by
excessive taxation. That is also i'm
practicable under our present constl-
tuition. Our state constitution says that all
property and all franchises in this state shall
be taxed alike. You cannot impose higher
tax on the property OF a non resident than
upon the property OF the resident; you can
not impose a higher tax upon the property
of glass factory than you can upon the
property of a cotton factory or packing
house. Taxation must be uniform. So that
each of these three propositions upon which
Mr.. Bryan relies for the extirpation OF the
trusts would fail and prove abor-
tive Now while the recent con-
ference at Chicago made no rec
concentrations of any kind, because its pro-
moters simply wanted to ventilate the ques
tion and let the people Of the states and the
national government take its own course
yet future state and national conventions
will doubtless recommend some remedy fol
! the trust evil. The remedy recommended
! back in 1898 is embodied now in the repub
/ lican platform of this state and | claim
| that that remedy alone would do more L
do away with the worst evils OF the trus
than any other and that is the creation o
| a national bureau OF supervision and COntro

IT Is A BIG JOB.
Capt. McQuestiOn Says Over 100000
Men Needed in Philippines.

san Francisco, June 21.-Dr. Charles
A. McQuestion, who was on the staff
of General otis and who was health
officer. at Manila. has returned home
inVdlded by the climate.
capt McQuestion made close study
of the conditions of the Philippine
situation. He is Of the opinion that il
viii take from 100000 to 10000 soldiers
to properly subdue ana hold the is
lands. He also says that the peace
commission was an absolute failure
and that its work from the start was
without effect. He strongly supports
the military government of the islands,
except that he thinks more men will be
necessary than has been estimated.
DR.. Schurman knows that the com
mission is a failure and is coming home
in July added Capt. McQuestion.
Unless troops, thousands of them.
are sent to the aid of our men there,
they will be driven back into Manila
in the course Of the next few months
during the rainy season. Our men
surely cannot stand the climate. Fifty
per cent. of them will incapaciated by
sickness and the territory overrun will
have TO be abandoned. Manila will
again be III a state Of seiga.
our officers ana soldiers have ac-
complished wonders and have proved
themselves the best soldiers in the
world. But nothing decisive has come
Of it because our men were not in great
force enough.
zone of the great dangers our men
have had to face is the climate. The
newcomers will be at disadvantage
because the volunteers who are return
ing home are Injured to the climate.
This will make many men necessary
that we could otherwise have put in
the field. As a matter Of belief, the
Filipinos think they have the Ameri
cans licked already.
zone solution of the situation might
be to enlist colored men from the Gulf
states and this might settle some Of
the race questions Of that section.
These men would be better able 10
stand the climate conditions around
Manila and it has been proven that
they are good fighters.
II want to say word for the West
ern volunteers. They make the finest
soldiers in the world and their fighting
qualities are wonderful. But the VOL
unteers all want to return home and
/ hardly think that the plan TO re-en-
list these skeleton regiments from the
volunteers now in the Philippines will
be a success. The men enlisted to
fight for their country and they are not

sitions Around linus.
Refuse to Fight Unless in Ambush or

Rely on Alleged Opposition in America 10 The
War in Philippines.

Manila, June 1.-9 p M.-The insur-
gent army has taken to the swamps
and hills beyond linus. The largest
force is supposed to be held in the
neighborhood Of San Francisco dc Nal
abon, holding a position more toward
the lake or toward the coast according
as eXigencies demand.
Gen. Wheaton returned to linus, to-
day. bringing three men who were
wounded in yesterdays fighting.
The heavy rains that fan nightly
make campaigning uncomfortable.
The roads are still good. but the rice
fields adjoining them are pools Of
water.
The Fiipinos will not fight unless
they can meet our troops in positions
most advantageous to themselves or
take our accommodating bodies in am
bush. 1t is impossible to learn what
effect the recent defeat has had upon
their leaders. This should ,be disheart-
ening, for they had boosted that the
Americans could never conquer the
province Of Cavite. Aguinaldo's home
country. where he always worsted the
Spaniards.
Gen. Otis recently received a letter
signed by a native woman Of the PROV
ince declaring that If all the men We're
killed, the women would still keep up
