EX-Representative Adams Discusses
Our Rule Over Filipinos.
THEY CANNOT GOVERN THEMSELV YES
Attitude Toward Them Same as in
Case of Cubans.
Nj . ST EARN FIRE ED o NJ

SHELBYVILLE, ILL.,, August 25.-"There
must be for the present a government of
the Philippines by the United States for
the Philippines, because there cannot, for
years to come, be a government of the
Philippines by the Philippines for the
Philippines
I'VE are bound to give freedom to the
Philippines What Aguinaldo is lighting
for is not freedom, but independence.
There may be, some day. independence
in the Philippines The shortest way to it
is under the American flag"
These were the words of former Repre-
sentative G. e. Adams of Chicago, in the
course of address which he delivered
before the Lithia Springs Assembly yester-
day His subject was Pending Ques-
items
After asserting the honor of the motives
which had led the United States to inter-
vene in Cuban affairs, Mr.. Adams gave his
reasons foe holding that the policy of the
United States toward the Filipinos is the
same as its policy toward the Cubans.
Argument of fAnti-Imperialists.
Those who call themselves anti-imperial-
lsts,' he said, 'confine their arguments to
the Philippine Islands. One of them said
not long ago, that we ought to treat the
Fihpinos as We treat the Cubans l be-
heve it is expressly the same that we set
out to do, and trying to do. in both
eases The motive is the same the policy
Is the same, and the method would. have
been the same but for causes beyond our
cCStrOl.
Our constitutional right to rule the
Philippines Mr.. Adams asserted, 'is ad-
mitted by nearly all, even among those
who think it is unwise or unjust to exer-
clse it. The question is one of morals
only.
This question of morals is substantially
the same for the Philippines as for Cuba
There is this difference however we are
responsible to the society of civilized na-
tfons OF which We are member to main
tain order in the Philippines which Spain
with the assent Of the civilized world ruled
for 4O9 years and then ceded to u.s. Cuba
uated by Spain. Still we exercise authority
there. We have not asked the consent Of
the governed.
Same Policy in Cuba.
''The administration has tried to do in
the Philippines just what 1t has tried to do
In Cuba.
Let the people of the Philippines first
learn to govern themselves in their several
villages, cities and parishes. If then they
choose to uEite these villages, cities and
parishes into states, we ought to help them
to do so. If then the several states choose
to unite to form a federal republic we
ought 10 help them to do So and II the
federal republic thus formed is strong
enough to maintain its position as an indie
pendent nation, and chooses the protection
OF its own flag instead of the protection of
the flag of the United States a large ma
J0rlty of the American people would be
glad to speed it on its way

Representative Thad. NJ. Mahon of Cham

lending to some departmental matters. In
speaking about the work of the coming ses-
sion of Congress Judge Mahon said:
Il think the coming session of Congress

There will be several very important mat
ters to be taken up, and a good deal of

doubt that the House will sustain the

sufficient number of soldiers to the island

CAPTIVE CUBANS RELEASED.
Freed From Prison in RespOnse tn
Appeals of This Country.


The long and persistent efforts of the
authorities here in behalf of the Cubans
arrested by the Spanish authorities during
at last been rewarded with success. word
having been received at the department
from the United tSates minister at Madrid.
Mr.. Belamy Storer, that four of these
Cuban exiles We're released from the Span
lsh penal settlement at Burgos on the Sth
instant. These prisoners We're sent to ca
diz, from Which point they have sailed for
Cuba. Thei- names are Rafael Joyor An
tcnio Capab anca, Julian Alvarez and No
Derto RoJos Hernandez. These men were
political pri oners accused during the re-
gime of Gen. Weyler of disloyalty to Spain
ana sentenced to penal servitude for life
or for lonG term of years. About twenty
ether Cuba prisoners who have been at
the Island { Ceuta or at Burgos have also
been liberat d and are now at Gibraltar
without fun to get back to their homes in
Cuba.
The release of these men has been the
object of much solicitude by State De-
partment officials, and both Acting Secre-
tary Adee and the United States minister at
Madrid have continued to urge that the
prisoners be released at the earliest poss-
BILE time. The Cuban representative here.
Mr.. Quesada, has also been alert in behalf
of these unfortunates. Since friendly rela-
tionS have been restored with Spain the
Spanish authorities have shown a DISPOSE
ton to accede to the wishes of the United
States in this particular, and the present
action is looked upon an evidence of
Spain's friendly attitude.
Although the number released Is only a
small part of the Cuban prisoners held un-
der exile, yet the beginning thus made is
regarded with great satisfaction by Mr.
Quesada and his Cuban associates here and
encourages them to believe that similar
ection will be taken in the case of all the
Cubans now held in captivity at Ceuta and
elsewhere

ASSAULTED
BY A NEGRO.

COlOred AssaiIant who

!. Wayne, Pa, Oct. 5.-While
Miss Leila Brown, daughter of
William M. Brown of North
Fifteenth street, Philadelphia,
was out cycling with her sister
Gertrude at Stafford station fif-
teen miles from the city on the
main line Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, shortly before noon
yesterday, che was throttle and
severely bundled by a burly
negro, who escaped justin time
to save his hide from an awful
drubbing at the hands of angry
citizens.
The Misses Brown have been
stopping at the Bellevue Hotel
here the past week with their
parents. The young women
went for a spih together on the
quiet country road leading
through Stsfford yesterday
morning. They dismounted a
few moments to rest on the
steep grade leading north from
under the railroad bridge at
Stafford.
As the sisters slowly trudged
up the hill with their wheels a
large, ugly negro passed them,
and, as Miss Leila endeavored
to remount the black brute
attacked, throttled ard threat
ened to kill her if she cried out.
Miss Gertrude, who was
ahead, heard the disturbance,
and seeing her sister in peril,
gave vent to piercing screams
which so frightened the man
that he made for the woods aid
escaped.
Miss Brown is new confined
in her room at tue hotel and is
gradually recovering from the
nervous shcck. besides several
ugly bruises which she receiv-

A New Situation,

After all arrangements had been made
for tho hands to return to work at the
Delaware Cotton Mills and satisfactory
raise in the wages had boon made by the
President A. d. Jones, it finally trans
pres that If two women woavers who took
little interest in the strike are not dis
charged, those who are out will not return
to work and the strike will remain on.
This was the condition of affairs that con-
fronted Manager. Gambrill yesterday
when he returned from seeing Mr. Jones
to the depot, feeling relieved. the Strike
was. at an und and disontent cleared away.
On his arrival at his office he found an
other committee awaiting him with the
above request, which he refused to grant,
as 1t opened a new situation, but he prom
ised to consider the matter If they would
return to work.
1t now looks as II the strikers were
taking advantage Of tho managers plight
and what the outcome Of the new matter
will bs can not be definitely said. The sit
uation Is as serious no was Mt any othe:
timo and it looks as If the mills will yet
have to close down.
