AN EXPLANATION.

Washington, Feb. 1t appears that
an erroneous impression has gone
abroad respecting the nature of the pres
idents instructions TO the American
peace commissioners in Paris, touching
the limitation OF the claims 10 be put
forward, so far as the Philippines were
concerned, to the island OF Luzon. So
far from making that island the max
imum claim OF the Americans. the pres
idents instructions actually placed that
island as the minimum claim to be set
out. The language was nothing less
than the island of Luzon," instead OF
nothing more than the island OF Luz
zon." 1t can be stated also that the
correspondence submitted TO the senate
included all OF the instructions 10 the
American commissioners. The only
omissions from the mass. IT is stated,
were letters touching matters in no way
related 10 the Spanish negotiations.

or his colleagues and by the logic OF the
situation. and he had at last concluded
TO sign the convention.
Having taken his position he was here
now 20 defend the treaty as wise con
clusion OF most delicate diplomatic
undertaking. Many complications had
beset the commissioners In their work,
and while he would not retract what he
had heretofore said as TO the undesira-
hlity OF acquiring distant territory, as
matter Of principle, still there were
times when a nation as an individual
Alght have 10 choose between evils.
There was danger or many computation
or an international character in case the
United States should have elected to
pursue a different policy. He reiterated
that the ultimate conclusion to take the
entire Philippine group was that of the
commissioners rather than of the presi'
dent. and he also went into the difficult
ties OF getting the Spanish commission
ers TO come 20 conclusion.
Senator Gray did not advocate perma-
nent occupancy OF the eastern Islands,
but said that the duration OF our exercise
OF sovereignty there should be settled III
the future, and not at present. In re-
ply to a question by Senator Mason, he
said that he would not attempt TO fix a
time--that this only could be done after
We had an opportunity to study tbs
situation, 10 know the people and learn
their capacities. He had every conf
dence in the American people, and he
believed that they would not only give
the natives their freedom when they had
shown capacity for taking care OF
themselves as a nation Of the world, but
that they would manage the affairs OF
the islands wisely and well while they
controlled them. They would give the
islanders a fair start in civilization be-
fore turning them loose 10 shift for them
selves.
Senator Money attacked the acquisition
OF the islands as contrary 10 the spirit
OF American institutions and as uncon-
stitutional. He said that the govern
ment Of the United States could not af-
ford TO put itself I'm the attitude OF a Don
Quixote in a vain effort TO care for and
advance the interests of every people in
every land that appeared. according TO
our standards OF civilization, TO need our
help. He had been an advocate of inter-
vention in the case OF Cuba, but from
this fact IL did not follow that he was
willing to transfer the Philippines from
Spanish vassalage to dependence on the
United States. He did not consider that
we were especially concerned as TO the
future OF the F'iiipinos and. so far as he
was concerned, he should leave them tc
work out their own salvation. This woulc
be far preferable TO assuming responsi-
bility for them and making them citizens
of the United States. rs they would in
evitably come 10 be il the treaty should
be ratified. We had made allies Of them
in the Spanish war by the acts OF our
own agents, and in the interest OF fair
dealing should let them accomplish their
independence If they could do so.
Senator Teller. in brief rejoinder.
controverted this position, saying that
an act of congress would be necessary TO
fix their status toward the body polite.
Senator Hoar endorsed Senator Moneys
position.

ANOTHER PLEA FOR EAGAN.

Washington, Feb. 1.-There is now no
prospect that the record OF the court
martial in the case of General Eagan
will reach the president before the end
OF this week. MIR. Worthington. counsel
for Genera! Eagan, has asked permission
of Judge Advocate General Liber to file
a supplementary brief or special plea.
Although under the old practice of mill
tary law nothing was allowed TO inter-
vene between the findings Of a court
martial and the final reviewing authori-
ties, the practice in recent years has been
much more liberal. and General Liber
has notified Nj. Worthington that he will
receive and consider any additional rep
reservations counsel may care TO make

mentioned when you asked your first
question:?
Reasonable questions, OF course, do
not trouble one. They are 10 be ex-
pected, and we are here to answer
them. Among such are those regard
ing our peculiar plan OF reserving seats,
which differs from that prevailing I'm
other theatres, and so naturally calls
for some explanation at first. for, you
know. we do not sell reserved seats at
all hours. as is the usual custom, but
simply reserve them in advance for
those who purchase their tickets be-
o'clock for evening use.

agreeable, polite and courteous and can

ditions."

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS.

London. Feb. LA dispatch from an
English house at Iloilo says business is
proceeding satisfactorily, But the agents
or the same firm, telegraphing from
Hong Kong. say the Iloiio telegram Is
unreliable. as nothing unfavorable TO
the Americans is allowed TO pass the
censor"
The Filipinos in Europe think the situ
alton has nowhere improved. They fear
an outbreak of hostilities as soon as the
peace treaty Is ratified. They add that
the Filipinos who surround Manila mum
ber 30, troops. and that they will not
permit the Americans TO land reinforce
ments on the island OF Luzon.
The stories of outrsges on women etc,
are strongly denied by the Filipinos
who point out that official dispatches
received at Madrid praise the modera-
ton OF the Tagalos.
