tanglements of barbed wire woven in the
brush land. then up the hill to death and
victory, did these gentlemen of the oppo-
stion feel so keenly the threatening danger
of our regulars to the liberty of our citi-
zens. Or, may be, not in word or deed OF
soldiers, regular or volunteer, have they
foreseen the tendency which they say can
only terminate in the destruction of the
liberties of the people.
In all the years of toll and strife and
victory that make the history of our repub-
lie great the regular army has been its
shield and buckler."
Mr. Fitzgerald CAIass) closed the general
debate in opposition to the bill he an
taSonized the proposition to increase the
size of the army and warmly opposed the
annexation of the Philippines. He adVo-
Gated for the Fiiipinos the liberty and IN
dependence which were to be granted the
Cubans
In the course of his remarks he declared
that there was an element in this country
which was supporting imperialism because
it was backed by England. England had,
he said never been our friend until she
needed us, she did now IN the partition
of China. But he declared no administra-
ton and no party woald dare to advocate
ton of people. Should it be attempted
the strength of a people who had suffered
from British misrule would be felt at the
ballot box.

Mr.. Hull, in charge or the Dill, closeo lol
his side.
The number of enlisted men provided in
the bill, he said was based not upon the
personal views of the members of the COM
mttee but the authoritative expression of
those who were on the ground.
In Cuba the evacuation commission had
declared that $4,000 soldiers were neces-
sary; not necessary to enforce order, but 20
insure peace and tranquility without blood
shed. In Manila the commanding general,
thirty DAYS ago cabed that 20,G00 men
would be enough, but within the last month
he had increased that estimate to $4,000.
The knowledge there that public opinion
was divided in this country and the impress
sion that prevailed there that the admins
tration might be turned down had multi
piled the dangers there. The committee
believed that the maximum should be
placed at 10000, but we're willing to agree,
in view of the opposition, that absolute
provision should only be made for $1,000,
giving the President the discretion TO in
crease the army up to 100000. Congress
had an abiding faith in the President, and
he could be trusted In his hands should
be placed the power to maintain the SOW
eregnty of the United States wherever our
flag had been carried until Congress should
finally determine what should be done.
General Debate Ended.
This ended the general debate and the
bill was read for amendment under the
minute role.

Benevolent Feelings Toward the
Philippines.

The disorder now existing in the Philip
pine Islands, to which senators who are
opposing the treaty may well afford to con-
slider how far they are contributing, the
unwillingEess of the armed natives to ac-
cept American authority, does not consti-
tute in my mind the slightest ground
which to base a vote against the Paris
agreement. On the contrary, it affords a
new reason why our action should be the
more prompt and unanimous. No senator
has had the hardihood to suggest that we
shall now return these islands to the Span
ish government and no other disposition of
them than that is inconsistent with "a vote
to confirm the treaty. ImputationS have
been made here upon the purposes of those
who advocate the assumption by the United
States of Philippine sovereignty which can
scarcely be genuine. All this talk about
forcing our government upon an unwilling
people, all this eloquent invocation of the
spirit of tie Declaration of Independence, is
far and away from any real point that con-
Germs the Senate in this discussion. No SEN
ator can suppose that there exists an Amer
lean statesman who approaches the con-
sideration of the Philippine problem with
any other than the most benevolent inten-
lions concerning the Filipinos and their
future.
'There are reasons why the natives of
these islands, after their experience with
Spanish msrule. should misunderstood the
presence at Manila of an American army,
but there is no reason why an American
senator should misunderstood it. and no
justification of his course in misrepresent
ing 1t. He knows that there is no Amer
lean in all this broad land who wishes any
other fate to any single native of the Phil
ippine Islands than his free enjoyment of
a prosperous life.
Liberty for the FiIipinos.
HE knows that close in the wake of
American rule there would come to the
Filipinos liberty that they have never
known and a far greater liberty than they
could ever have under the arrogant rule
of a native dictator. He knows, moreover,
that it would be self-rule. the rule of the
islanders to the full extent of their capac-
ity in that direction. and that each success
sive American President would welcome
the time when he could recommend new
leases of self-government to an advancing
and improving people. The FiIipinos may
not know these things yet but every
American senator knows them and puts
himself and his country in a false position
when, by attributirg the spirit of conquest
and aggression to those whose policy has
rescued the Filipnos from Spain and would
now rescue them from native tyrants, he
sentiment of our people. do not say that
these considerations are absolutely conclu-
sive of our right and duty to assume the
direct and exclusive government of the
Philippines, for we have our own interests
to think about. but certainly they forbid
the use on this floor of any argument
which tends to imperil the safety of our
troops at Marila or which adds one whit
to the embarrassment of the administration

n the trying situation by which it is con-
should Hold the Islands.

Mr.. President, 1 do not know, and 1
don't think any one else can know, just
what ought to be done with the Philippine
Islands beyond this. that we ought as in
stantiy as possible to complete the with
sdrawal of their sovereignty from the king
dom of Spain, and that we ought ourselves
to assume its obligations and prudently TO
discharge them until we have had fun OPP
portunity in our own councils to determine
their best disposition. This is all that the
treaty of Paris proposes or imposes II is
all that the administration has at any time
suggested. 1t is no more than safe ana
conservative policy advises. 1t is no less
than our public obligations require. 1t Is
a plain. clear. positive duty. 1t Is one OF
those duties that are not to be got ria OF
by evasion nor even by denial 1t would re-
main after you had rejected the treaty. Ii
lies in the nature of the situation. Your
army, your navy and your flag are at Ma
Mia. You can add to their dangers IL You
will. But their duty abides and the viii

The Philippine War.

Friday morning three companies of
the South Dakota regiment and three
companies of the Minnesota regiment
encountered a rebel force of 500 north
of Boeune, west of Malolos. The enemy
was driven back miles with heavy loss,
and the American troops having ex-
hausted their ammunition were forced
to retire.
The heat is intense. AT noon the
thermometers registered 95 degrees and
the mercury was still rising There
were several prOstrations from heat
among the troops, but only one man was
wounded. Later the army tugs opened
fire on the enemy along the river banks.
The rebels are unusually active west
of Malolos, as far as Calumosit. They
have been busily at work on their
trenches, and several new trenches have
been discovered within two miles of the
railroad.
Gen. Otis states: TROOPS abundant
ly supplied, and sickness, wounded in
cluded, only seven and fraction per cent
of command"
A reconnaissance on Quengua, place
miles northeast of Maloos, made by
major Bell and troop of cavalry, sunday
Morning, resulted in contact and battle,
of which four battalons of infantry and
inur pieces of artillery became engaged.
Enemy driven from strong intrench-
ments at Qlengua, with considerable
loss; our casualties quite severe. COL.
Stotzenburg and Lieut.. Sssons, 1st
Nebraska, killed; two privates of the
Nebraska regiment; three prvates of
French cavalry. Most of the wounded
belong to the First Nebraska regiment.
The Filipinos retreated with slight loss.
Under date of April "a, information
was received at Washington that Gen.
Otis is about to execute another impor-
tant movement, the initial features of
which are shown by today's press ad-
vices from Manila. The objective point
is the insurgent town of Calumpit, lying
about miles northwest of Malolos. 1t
was here that the insurgents conoentra
ted after being driven out of their capt.
tai, setting up new capital and making
it the base of their operations. In NOV
ing on this stronghold, Gen. Otis pro-
poses to conduct two distinct operations
The first one, under Maj Gen. MacAr-
thur. has for its purpose pushing
straight forward from Malolos along the
railroad and striking at Calumpit from
Maj. Gen. Lawton, who, with his flying
column is moving far around to the
northeast to the large town of Norza-
gay, from which point he will turn
abruptly west toward Calumpit This
last move will take about 10 days, and
military strategists look upon it as an.
other effort to flank the insurgents by
getting behind them at Calumpit, SINH.
lar to the flank movement which Gen.
Macarthur attempted to execute at
Malabon.
1t is stated that the batteries It'll
artillery will be uni ed and recruited to
their full strength and the whole regi.
ment sent to the Philippines. More
artillery is needed there.
Gen. McArthm's division fought its
way to the trenches before Calumpit

"Going out to see man was the
invention of Artemus Ward. One night
in the winter of 1865, when the humor-

he paralyzed his audience with the an

improve upon the joke, penciled these

Dear Artemus-lf you will place
