Victory rhn. VIII bring No crea,..


Military operations in the Philip
pines are now very active. Our forces
are pursuing the Filipinos relenllessly /;
are forcing their strongholds, COM
pelling them TO fly, killing and wound
ing them in great numbers and cap
turing many Eprisoners. The powerful
military arm Of tho United States is
sweeping with force and vigor through
the island of Luxor, carrying all
opposition before it. The strug-
CLING Filipinos, Notwithstanding the
righteousness of their cause, cannot
Withstand tho vastly superior forces
that are being hurled against them.
But this fact does not justify the
unequal conquest, nor depreciate the
cause of the Filipinos. They are fight.
ing for liberty and independence, a
cause for which the people of the
American Colonies fought for seven
years. That they can continue the
struggle this long is very doubtful, as
they are opposed by men who are
skilled in all sorts of warfare; but il
they do not surrender. they will
eventually be massscred
So far, they have shown no indlca-
tions of surrendering. And when the
bloody massacre shall have been com,
pleted; when the campaign of "nigger
killing" is finished because there are
no moro ''nIegers'' to kill; when oui
alien rule is absolute over a country
that for more than three centuries has
been fighting for liberty and independ
ence, what satisfaction will the bloody
victory bring to the people of the
United States?

what WIN They Do AboutI,?

What the policy of the Union Repub-
licans of Delaware in next years cam
paign will be is thus outlined by Re
publican Glasses" in the Sunday Star
The boilers must choose between the
common primary proposition or suffer
defeat, III there is to be two Republi-
can State conventions, there must be
two tickets from top to bottom. IL
there cannot be a union of forces on
the State ticket, there can be no union
on the electoral ticket That is the
Union Republican uitimatum-tbe ex-
clusion of the Union Republican dele
gates from tho Republican National
Convention will throw the electoral
vote of Delaware against the Republi
can PRESIDENTIAL candidate.
This brings Mark Hanna and Nc
Kinley face to face with painful
situation. II they turn down the Union
Republican delegates, as they did at
ST. Louis in 1896, they will surely lose
the electoral vote of this State. as the
Unions will not, in such an event, fuse
with the Regulars on an electoral
ticket. On the other hand. there is
danger that recognition of the Unions
by the National Republican Conven
tion may anger the Regulars to The
point of refusing to unite upon com
mon electoral ticket, and then the samt
danger of loss of the State is threat
ened. Certainly, Mckinley and Hannf
will find themselves in quandary
when the Delaware fight presses fol
their decision.
1t may Le that the course of tn,
Democratic party will rob the situa
tion of all interest. Democratic wisdom
and sound leadership, coupled with
satisfactory platform and acceptable
candidates, will make Delaware Demo
cratic next year, no matter whethe
the Republican factions unite or hav
two tickets in the field.

JUDGE HANFORD'S RULING.
Hs Releases a Japanese faupsr on Rsbeas Corpus
Proceedings at Seattle.

Seattle. June 23.-United States Judge
Hanford has rendered a decision which
raises an issue with the treasury de-
partment. He granted a writ of habeas
corpus TO Il. Yamasaka, a Japanese,
arrested by immigration Inspector
Walker, on the charge of being a pau
per and entering the United States
clandestinely. Judge Hanford ruled
that while the courts have no jurisdic-
ton TO review the act of superintendent
of immigration or the inspectors act
ing under him in excluding Immigrants
upon their arrival and before they have
been landed from the vessel. after an
immigrant has entered the United
States and actually set foot upon it's
soit and attained his liberty. he cannot
be turned back except upon a judicial
inquiry into his right TO remain i'm the
United States and further held that
the law makes no provision for such
inquiry.
After the discharge OF Yamasaka he
was Immediately re-arrested by Inspec-
tor Walker. acting under orders from
the treasury department. IL s under
stood that another application for
writ OF habeas corpus Will be heard
Saturday morning.
From the tenor OF Judge Hanford's
decision { is likely that Yamasaka will
be promptly discharged. In that event
an appeal viii be taken by the United
States attorney.
