is Why he declines to announce in ad-
vance what this country would do If
some other nation, or combination OF
nations should attempt 10 help the
Beers against Great Britain, or should
attempt to prevent Great Britain reap
ing the benefit of the triumph it is
bound to achieve over the Transvaal
Republic. Up to this time there are no
more substantial grounds for expecting
outside interference in the South Afri-
can war than irresponsible publications
in certain new papers. Consequently
there is no occasion for this government
to make any announcement, and the
only object of those who have been
seeking 10 obtain one is to embarass the
administration. Without attempting TO
predict what this government would o.
would not do, it can be said thht any
nation or combination of nations will
do well 10 move very slowly and care.
fully in meddling with Great Britain
Americans are not ungrateful, and th4y
have not forgotten that had it not been
for the firm and courageous attitude OF
the government OF Great Britain, Spain
would have had the assistance of one o,
more European powers in the late war
with us
Secretary Wilson is still talking OF the
strong expansion St ntiment he found in
the west He said "You may find al
anti-expansionist here and there in the
west, but they are as scarce as hungry
men, and the latter are mighty scarce
these daye. The western people want
the flag to stay where it is, and there il
no doubt OF it. They havn't forgotten
that when Dewey was forced to leave
Hong Kong with his h-et by the neu.
trality laws, there wasn't stake in the
whole eastern hemisphere to which it
could tie. We've got one now, and We
ae going to keep it. We have a home
in the orient of our warships as we'll AZ
merchant vessels, and starting poin,
f,r commercial expeditions into all Asia
and Oceanica The western people
know the value of this They realize
that every year their products OF farm
and factory are going into the Pacific
ocean in increased ratio. They want to
keep it up Our people are not going to
tyrranize over the Filipinos. They will
contribute money to send them school
teachers and missionaries, and they will
make the Philippines TO blossom like the
rose. These little fellows who are bark
ing st the heels OF President Mckinley
carping at his doing what the constitu-
tion, the laws and the people require,
do not alarm the western people. The
residents of that section do not forget
that the land which they live on was &C
quired by treaty. They have no inten
tion OF alternating Iowa and Minnesota,
nor of alternating any other territory we
have more recently obtained by treaty"
Archbishop Chappells, the Apostolic
D,lrga to the Philippines, who is now
in Washington, has given the antis
new nut to crack by coming out good
and strong for permanent American own
ership Of the Philippines, and strongly
endorsing this government for having
acquired the islands by the treaty OF
peace with Spain.
Admiral Dewey is now the owner of

has announced his intention two make !
two trips early next year, one to the
south and one to the west, in order TO
show the people of those sections how |

the advice OF his physician to decline for
the time being.
From the talk OF Republican men,

lieve that a new committee will be Gre

will have control of all legislation re-
lating TO Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba and |
the Philippines, the idea seeming to be
general that such committee composed |
OF the ablest men in ne House is needed.
