two senator's had agreed to support
Tho treaty. This insured its passage.
Before n executive session Sena-
tor Allen Of Nebraska made a speech
denying published statements that
he would attack Senator German
for using tho peace treaty as .
means to defeat MIR. Bryan. He
said he did not keep Mr.. organs con.
science and paid n warm tribute to
that leader. Allen was opposed to
expansion, but our duty now was to
ratify the treaty. There was weeping
In Nebraska to-day and he condemned
the Filipinos rs bloodthirsty savages
who had precipitated an attack OH us.

Continuing, he says: ut is wonder
full that they are left alive after such
horrible struggle and pains. We warn
you that we NAV not yet have finished
the strange destiny that presents this
last trial and humiliation. We are
strangers in our W country, still
wet with our blood.

1t appears that the Americans are re-

dependence. Their delay in that in

The Americans, instead of aiding, are
obstructiug the stablishment OF a free
and Independent republic.

This letter, the g~enuineness
