The War In The Philippines.
Times-Democrat.

The war in the Philippines
grows steadily more determined
and savage. The following from
the Associated Press dispatches
shows that our troops are about
adopting the suggestion of the
English residents of Manila that
the best way to end it is to exter-
inmate the natives:
Two of the gunboats secured the lake
shore and took MOrOng and destroyed
rice fields. the inhabitants OF the towns
about the lake retiring into the noun
tains. Five miles of huts-
the hotbed Of the insurgents-were bur-
ned. One hundred tons Of rice were de-
troyed. Gen. Otis estimates
that property Of the insurgents valued
at $4,000 has been destroyed.
On Friday morning last the Americans
landed party which destroyed q quan-
tity of stores and all the stone buildings
except the church. The expedition then
proceeded to Majayjay. where . sugar
mill and sawmill were destroyed. 80
Our troops followed the Filipinos for If
teen miles. burning every village along
their route, The soldiers are
bringing in loads Of loot from dwelling
houses"
This is certainty war in oil its
horrors, and q great deal worse
than the Shenandoah campaign.
Gen. Sherman's definition, war is
hell" has always been accepted as
very correct and to the point, and
it describes the Philippines CAM
paign now under way. t&
The struggle in the Philippines,
and the burning of houses and rice
fields, the destruction of sugar
mills and other industries for the
purpose of depriving the Filipi-
nos of resources can scarcely be
called benevolent assimilation"
or even "a war of humanity" As
q matter of fact. conditions in the
islands are rapidly assuming a re-
semblance to the Spanish war Of
determination to Cuba.
We have waged two wars in "a
pid succession-one glorious and
noble, war for humanity, to free
the suffering Cubsns and to put
an end to mis-government which
bred disease, starvation and death.
That was closed some time ago,
when Spain surrended to us; but
the other war that has followed,
and which ought to be known az
McKinley's war, opposed to the
Il
Spanish war, is a very different af.
fair.
Submission or determination
is the message Weyler sent to the
Cubans, and we are told that this
is the message We should send to
the Filipinos, over whom we have
no other right than the rotten ii.
tie we bought from Spain, which
did not own or occupy one foot Of
Philippine territory when it pre-.
tended to sell us the entire archi.
pelago for s2O,OOO,OOO.
