BY that class of people would be very
unjust, and there would be constant
revolts against it. The result would be
that the people who have business in
terests and property, would appeal to
some strong government, Germany, Tor
instance, to come with an army and
restore order. think the people gen
orally want peace.
Under 4 good government this
country would be one of the greatest
wealth, and our connection with it
would be of great interest to the United
States. The evil features of these ISL
ands have been exaggerated to our
people. Americans will find this an
excellent field for their energies, and
the wealth-producing powers of these
islands under American influence will
be great. Theyaction of some of the
people in the United States of assert
ing that the people of the Philippines
ought to have independence does a
great deal of harm and assists Aguin-
aldo in maintaing the instruction, as
he publishes all assertions by Ameri-
cans of that character, and he tells his
supporters that if they hold out until
winter independence will be given
them. The people who are disposed
to be favorable tofus and who desire us
to govern the islands fear to assert
themselves, because they know if they
do so and the Americans should ADAM
don them, they would be in great
danger of their lives, and in all prob
ability their property would be CON
fiscated."
