And besides even Admiral Dewey, the

titled that the Philippines are better fit
ted for freedom and independence than
the Cubans. If that be so, upon what

the right of the Cubans to independ-

II makes no difference that Congress
passed resolutions, previous to the war.
That Cuba should have her independ-
ence. That was done to reassure Gu.
pans. Americans and all the world that
we had entered on no war of conquest
against Spain: and Cuba's right to in

was made no less by their omission
from the resolutions. Moreover. in

seek. buy and battle for n tyrannical
asCendancy and control OF n group of
islands SO unnecessary to us so far
from us, SO different from us in race
and habits, and whose Malay popula-
ton can never make good American
citizens. They declare their independ-
ence and freedom Of us with more right
and warrant than did our ancestors of
Great Britain: and in attempting to
coerce and suhjugate them to our rule
we grossly violate every principle OF
human liberty and government we
ever declared or fought for. and justly
expose ourselves to the ridiculc. CON

proved false to our Republican princi-

we basely enslaved the people who had
made our victory over Spain so easy in
that part of the world. What reason

to suspect the good faith of great
