appear conspicuously gentle and kind.
No army officer has more of the es-
TEEN and confidence of President Nc
Kinley and his official family than
Major General Shafter. General Shat
said to the newspapers that there was
only one way to establish permanent
peace in the Philippines. His plan is
to go to work with will and exter-
inmate one-half of the native popula-
tion. That, he believes, would SO i'm
press the remaining half with the
prowess and determination of the
United States that the sovereignty OF
America would never again be disputed.
This favorlte of the administration
would throw sufficient military force
in the archipelago to make the exter-
minatlon of 4. 500, 900 men, women and
children swift, sure and certain. That
is his plan to establish President Nc
Kinley's authority in the Philippines.
and presumably If the determination
of one-half of the population would not
accomplish it he would make it two
thirds, or If need be, wipe them all of
the face of the earth. Only the friends
of the administration are heard to cry
.sexterminate them, .crush the rebel
lion," ..show them no mercy" ''drive
them into the sea, 1.-the dead Filipino
is the only good Filipino" and the like.
II anyone has said that ssthe treatment
of the Cubans by.Spain or the Armeni-
ans by the Turks is not to be compared
with our course toward the Filipinos
in wanton and deliberate cruelty" as
Secretary Long charges, but which he
refuses to prove, the friends of the ad-
ministration have furnished an abund-
ance of incentive.
1t so happens that all we know of
what is going on behind the curtain in
the Philippines comes from letters
written by soldiers on the ground to
friends In the United States. Some
of these letters tell OF how Filipino
houses are looted and valuables car
ried away-"enough 20 load ship
how Filipinos are wantonly shot down.
and graphic descriptions of other kinds
of .'fun." Certainly the men who
write such letters are in no sense rep
resentative American volunteers, but
they wear the uniform of the nation 8
army, and the nation is responsible for
their conduct. In this connection it
may be observed that no reports have
reached this country of anyone being
punished for 1ooting and indulging in
other vicious s.fun." Other letters
come from thoughtful and patriotic
soldiers. who enlisted to help rescue
the Cubans from Spanish tyranny, and
who cheerlfully went to the Philip
pines to thrash that wing of Spain's
army. The writer's of these letters
deprecate the policy of the government
toward the Filipinos. They do not
relish the work OF subjugating a people
who have been struggling for more
than century for freedom. They
look upon the campaign as an unholy
war of conquest, but, like true Ameri-
can soldiers, they stand by their coun-
try, right or wrong. So 1t transpires
that the best and truest Data anti-ex-
pansionists haYe to base an opinion
upon as to the operations of the adj
ministration in the Philippines come
from private letters OF soldiers on the
ground, and these seem to show that
the Spanish fire was not SO uncomfort-
able as the American frying pan is
