NoNExpLANAroRY EXPLANATION

NONEXPLANATORY EXPLANATIONS.
In his labored effort to defend his
Philippines policy and the un-American
and costly and bloody war of conquest
against the Inhabitants, Mr.. Mckinley
seems to think it sufficient to state that
the Filipinos were not promised indie
p%endence. Granting this to be true 1t
simply leads to the query, Why were
they not promised independence, as the
Cubans were? Those who know them
best-Admiral Dewey for instance
state that the Filipinos are better fitted
for self-government than the Cubans.
And it is a fact that they had a better
and more firmly established govern
ment than the Cubans had. Why was
fish made of the one and flesh of the
other? Why was Cuba, naturally a
part OF this continent and within the
scope of the Monroe Doctrine, and
which ought to be annexed to the Unit
ed States. promised independence which
will turn 1t over to its ignorant and
turbulent people to be a constant source
ippines were purchased for 500, 600, 900
TO be annexed, although they are on the
other side of the world ten thousand
miles away, where we want nothing but
a naval and supply station and have
10 use for a colony or satrapy, which
can only be a source of vast trouble aud
tremendous expense to us? Mr.. Nc
Kinley lodges the question in his mes
sage. 1t is not Were the F~ilipinos
promised independence? but Why were
they NOT promised independence to-
gether with the Cubans?
In this connection the President I'M
consciously drops the mask of benevo-
lent impartiality and reveals the par
tisan and special pleader. He also
drops facts for mere conjecture. For
instance, he says, with some indication
of temper: "The most the insurgent
leader hoped for when he came back
to Manila was the liberation Of the
islands from the Spanish control,
which they had been laboring for years
without success to throw off,"
In thus claiming ability to state "the
most the Filipino leader hoped for
ETC., Mr.. Mckinley assumes ~clairvoyant
powers. He is also at fault when he
states that the Filipinos had been
~laboring for years to throw off the
Spanish yoke without success" The
Filipinos had not only thrown off the
Spanish yoke, holding Luzon in
~undisputed control, but held many
Spanish prisoners, a part of whom Otis
has only just succeeded in getting. In
fact, the entire Spanish army were
held prisoners in Manila, while the
Filipinos controlled not only every
other point, but conducted a govern
ment complete in all its departments
executive, legislative and iudicial-as
well as a thoroughly organized army,
as Otis can testify.
The President reveals the weakness
of the imperial contention, for it is tc
be presumed that he gives the
strongest evidence and arguments thai
are to be presented in support of his
policy and presents them in the most
forcible manner. There is not a por-
ton of his argment that will beal

Yesterday morning about six O'Clock
Chief of Police A. f. Griffin, of Gas
City, Ind. arrived in the city with a
prisoner named Reed Sprow, who is
badly wanted in Washington county,
Pa, for a very serious robbery, COM
mitted there last fall.
The prisoner was committed to the
lookup and will be taken to Washing
ton county this morning, he having
confessed TO the crime. and is willing
to go without a requisition.
The story of this robbery is rather
peculiar, particularly as to the persist
ent pursuit of the criminal made by the
victim of his lawless act.
On the night of the Sth of last No
vember, Mr.. w. L. Blaney, a business
man of West Findley. Washington
county, was on his way home with his
days receipts in cash and pape of
various forms. The currency Mr..
Blaney carried in his coat pocket, but
SIC in silver and about 81, 900 in checks,
notes, receipts and other valuable pa
pers was carried in a box by his son
Clay. On the way Spraw waylaid
them, and discharging a revolver close
to the boys head, grabbed the box he
carried and disappeared in the dark
ness. At first the boy was supposed
to hav, been shot, but it subsequently
turned out that he vas uninjured.
A search was made for the robber,
n he was tracked to a corn shock,
where the box containing the checks
and other papers was found, but the
money was gone. Mr.. Blaney determ-
ined to hunt the robber down, and set
about the work systematically. He
made a thorough enquiry and search of
the neighborhood, and then came to the
river, and went along it town by town
from Pittsburg to Marietta. The rob-
Der, however, had gone west through
Ohio, and 0 o Mr.. Blaney got on his
trail. After a long and weary search
he was located at Gas City, Ind, where
the case was placed in the hands of
Chief A. F. Griffin. The latter, through
his shrewdneSs and ability, succeeded
in capturing his man at an Indiana
town named Hamlet, and took him in
custody, but at North Judson the pris-
oner jumped from a car during a ire
mendous rain storm and got away. He
was not missed Immediately, and Chief
Griffin lost t~wenty-four hours. He
again located his man, however, in a
school house. where Sprow had built a
fire and had dried his clothes. He was
arrested and brought here yesterday,
as stated. and will be taken to Wash
ington, Pa, this morning.
Mr.. Blaney was only out SIG, but has
spent ten times that amount in his per-
siStent search for the rObber. Great
| credit is due Chief Griffin for his good
work in the case.
The father of the prisoner arrived in
the city yesterday, and had a confer
ence with his son.
