TO PRETENT ANARCHr.

Tho signing of the Treaty Of Peace ny the
Queen Of Spain definitely settles the legal s'a,uS
of the inhabitants whose prolonged oppression
eoused the war now ending For them Spanish
,uIe has ceased forever. In Porto RICO, Cupa
and the Philippine Islands these inhap"an'''
not owing allegiance To any foreign hhuoh
bovo hocomc subjects Of the United States ""V-
ernmcnt are entitled 10 its protection against
foreign attack or internal violence, ana Wh'h
living peacpably under United States authority
will find greater freedom lighter burdens ana
more coral Justice Than they have ever knoWh
In rcturn they owe 10 the United States SIM
ccro and unqualified allegiance ready obedience
70 IT'S authority. and such support as they can
oive Until stable, civilized and free govern
mont has bcen established in Cuba or the PM
ippjne Islands, no other authority than tha' OF
the United States can protect the people OF
either from anarchy, indiscriminate massacre
or foreign Invasion Resistance TO that author
ity IS therefore anarchy itself, no matter under
what pretcxt. and deserves only such treat
ment as even the most humane government
must give TO those who seek 10 overthrow HI
lawful authority and civil order
The Treaty Of Peace finds the United States
resisted by two factions which most loudly pro-
from Spanish rule The politicians of the Gu
ban Assembly did far more processing ana pro-
testing than the insurgents in arms, though not
so much fighting. The actual commander OF
the fighting force gives support TO the authority
of the United States. as most of his followers
probably will The faction which resists will
not convince any sane man that 1t Is able TO
govern Cuba to obtain the support Of the sol
Al f,,1 ip,o
who want order and restoration Of industries,
and still less Of the Spaniards, who know how
little protection they would receive from such
rule To put down that faction is simply to
prevent anarchy.
If II were possible the case Is even clearer in
the Philippines The Tagal race which alone
makes resistance. forms only n small faction or
the inhabitants, and IS dlStrusted ana hated ny
the rest but It's leaders have hoped that free
dom for FipinOs might mean subsection Of the
great majority Of inhabitants 10 their rule
What sort Of rule that would be the barbarous
treatment of priests and nuns and American
or Spanish captives who have fallen into their
hands makes clear enough. There is not the
faintest prctence that this minority faction rep
rcsents by consent given majority of the in
habitants There is only a demand that the
United States shall leave the great ma jority Of
the Inhabitants, and part OF the Tagals them
selves. TO the mercy Of Aguinaldo and those
who uphold him. 1t ought to be plain to every
American that 1t is not possible for the United
States 10 turn over the people Of the Philippines
or Cuba TO the mercy Of a minority faction
which seeks only absolute power for itself, with
no guarantee whatever Of Justice or protection
for anybody else.

1t was said yesterday by n member OF the COM
mlttee on the selection OF pastor for the Fourth
Presbyterian Church that letter had been re-
ccived from the Rev. DR. Chapman. the pastor OF
the Bethany Church. in Philadelphia which gave
strong reason to believe that he would accept the
call Or. Chapman will probably come to this city
and confer with the officers OF the church next Sat
urday. II first thought that John Wanna
maker might induce DR.. Chapman to remain in
Philadelphia. but II Is said that he yielded In Or
Chapman's desire to come TO this city one OF his
reasons for wishing to come TO New-York concerns
the education u his children.
