M'KINLEY rs DETERMINED.
InsurrectiOn in the Philippines to be
Speedily Suppressed.

Pittsburg, Aug 2S.-President Nc
Kinley left Pittsburg tonight at nine
o'clock for East Liverpool o., very
weary man. The entire day had been
spent under the most trying circum-
stances, and the president was almost
worn out AS soon as he reached his
private car Cleopatra at Shadyside sta
ton he retired to his stateroom and lay
down, giving orders that he should not
be disturbed until the train reached East
Liverpool. Mrs Mckinley rested dur
ing the entire, remaining at Glencatrn,
Mr.. Pitcarn's residence, and stated this
evening that she was feeling very well.
When the president retired on Sunday
night his information was that the
Tenth regiment would reach here at 10
o'clock this morning and arrangements
were made accordingly. When the pres
ident finally headed the procession that
escorted the Tenth regiment from Allie
gheny and Schenley park it was three
O'clock Along the five-mile march the
president received an ovation that was
practically continuous from the thou
sands of persons along the route.
He was warmly greeted when he
arose to speak at the auditorium He
dwelt at length on the bravery of the
volunteers in the Philippines and laid
particular stress on the following, the
important part of his speech as relat-
ing to the policy of the government:
"Until the treaty was ratified we had
no authority beyond Manila city, bay
and harbor. We then had not other
title to defend Spain was still in pos
session of the remainder of the archi-
pelago Spain had sued for peace. The
truce and treaty We're not concluded.
The first blow was struck by the in
gents. Our kindness was reciprocated
with cruelty, our mercy with Mauser
The flag of truce was invoked only to
be dishonored. Our soldiers were shot
down when ministering to the wounded
Filipinos Our humanity was inter-
preted as weakness, our forbearance as
cowardice They assailed our sover-
eighty. and there will be no useless par
lev no pause until the insurrection is
suppressed and American authority ac-
knowledged and established. The mis-
guided followers in rebellion have only
our charity and pity. AS to the cruel
leaders who have needlessly sacrificed
the lives of thousands of their people
at the cost of some of our best blood,
for the qualifications of their own am
bilious designs, [ will leave to others
the ungracious task of justification and
eulogy.
Every one of the noble men, regu-
lars and volunteers, soldiers or seamen,
who thus signally served their country
in its extremity, deserves the oblisa-
tion of congress, and it will be to me
an unfeigned pleasure to recommend
for each of them a special medal of
honor. While we give you hail and
greeting from overflowing hearts, we do
not forget the brave men who remain
and who have gone forward to take
your places. Our prayers go with them,
and more men and munitions if required
for the speedy suppression of the re-
bellion, the establishment of peace and
tranquility and government under the
undisputed sovereignty of the United
States; a government which will do JUS
tice to all and at once encourage the
best efforts and aspirations of these
distant people and the highest develop
ment of their rich and fertile lands.
