Is a part OF this trip to Manila to see
one Of our own countrymen done up IN
shirt waists and shoes. Some months
ago one OF our expeditions started out
mud spread through the country a
tract that proclaimed our good tnten-
lions, and as an evidence thereof an
agreement to payany insurgent soldier
who came in with his firearms, forty
dollars for his gun. A short time af-
terward, when another expedition was
out, our men came across like tract
Offering the American soldier hrty dol
lars for his gun. and advising him, In
cldentally, to be good, and go home.
Since that time we have abandoned the
tract method. Our humRnltatlon and
COncillntory policy has been taken for
one OF tlmidIty and vacillatlon. We
have yet before US, among other things,
the task OF correcting that idea. We
receive the support and assistance OF a
great many honest and Intelligent ma
tlves, whom we are now bound to pro-
tect from the enemy they have made OF
some OF their countrymen, because they
allied themselves with US,
The entire tribe OF MacQbeebe9. the
ancient though dying enemies Of the
Tagalos, have been our allies from the

companies are now being organized,

The politics of our country has lent
great strength and endurance to the
Insurrection, The Filiplnos generally
believe that another administration will
be enthroned and the American troops
withdrawn. In that they place their
strongest hope. and so prolong the
struggle. Let us hope that state Of
something like war will soon exist. and
the trouble be over. no you fhl"f 'hN
officers or the men Of the army do not
want, as a matter OF choice, TO come
home?
we would all gladly welcome peace,
and as gladly leave the island. bur II Is
only the men who live IN terror OF the
risk to which his life Is exposed who
wishes to abandon the cause we have
cspoused. We have pledged ourselves
to the civilized world to establish a gov
eminent out hero. We are In the right,
and history will prove Us right II we
have the, courage to push our policy on
to the trial.
