OEWEY's MISSION AT MANILA.

s. The sincerely protested and sole pur
pose of the war was to make Cuba a free
and independent state Admiral Dewey did
rot go to Manila for purposes of conquest
at all. He went there with his gallant
little fleet to capture or destroy, if he
could. the Spanish fleet He did it in a
way that astonished the naval powers of
the world. Bat he only acquired military
control of the bay and city of Manila
and its environments. Nearly all beyond
that was in possession of an organized re-
bolton against Spain.
Q. At that time, and long before, an ac-
tive and powerful rebellion was in pro-
information goes it now holds sway over
Il large part of LuZon and quite or nearly
the whole of Panay and of other large
districts of these principal islands. 1t APP
pears to be true that he rebels co-operat-
ed with. our forces in the overthrow of the
Spanish rule at Manila under the impress
sion that our operations at Manila were
not to help Spain to put down the rebel
lion and then take possession for our
selves. but were only to cripple the Span
ish power as an incident of war in bring
ing Spain to renounce its control of Cuba,
which Congress had said in its declara-
ton in respect to Cuba was its sole pur-
pose.
10. That the people of the islands who
were carrying on the rebellion in order ~
be free and independent do not desire TO
be annexed and to become a territoial
dependency of the United States of any
kind, and that they intend to resist an
neXation appears to be indisputable.

What ] have said so far will not take
1t, he disputed ty any intelligent person
What then in the present state Of affairs
is to be done?
Are we to make war upon the people
of the Philippines as Spain was doing, in
order to subject them to our dominion?
This apparently we must do to make
them a people whether citizens. subjects
or slaves of the United States.
To justify this "a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind" should compel our
government to state definitely the grounds
upon which we make the attempt. We
have assured the nations of the globe In
the most solemn manner possible that we
made war not for conquest or extended
dominion, but solely to set the people of
Cuba free-of whom Congress declared
that they were and of right ought to be
free and independent"
At that very time the Philippine rebel
lion was stronger and better organized
than that of Cuba. Recent events have
proved that the Philippine rebels are as
capable of self-government as the people
Of Cuba. When the United States aided
in the attainment and recognized the in
dependence of the Spanish provinces of
Central and South America our govern
ment did not set itself up to be the final
Judges of whether or not they were cap
able of elf-government, although ii WAS
perfectly well known that self-govern-
ment by the people Of those provinces
could not be such, and never could be
such, as the races ard inhabitants of tenn
perate zones could establish and main
