stationed in Manila, united in the fol.
lowing statement: We believe that,
owing to official dispatches from, Ma
Mia, made public in Washington, the
people Of the United States have no
received a correct impression of the
situation in the Philippines, but these
dispatches have presented an ultra
optimistic view that is not shared by
the general officers in the field. We
believe that the dispatches incorrectly
represent the existing conditions among
the Filipinos in respect to dissension
and decentralization resulting from the
American campaign, and to the brand
character Of the enemy. We believe
the dispatches err in the declaration
that the situation is we'll in hand, and
the assumption that the insurrection
can be speedily ended without a great
~ increased force. We think the ten
acity of the Filipinos' purpose has been
underestimated and that the statements
are unfounded that volunteers are will
ing to engage in further service. The
censorship has compelled us to partici.
pate in these Misrepresentation by
excising or altering u~ncontroverted
statements on the plea, as General Otis
stated, that they would alarm the peo'
pie at home, or have the people of the
United States by the ears.
Specifications: Prohibition Of hos.
pital reports; suppression Of full re-
ports of field operations, in the event
of failure; number of heat prostrations
in the field; systematic intimidation
of naval operations, and suppression of
complete reports of the situation.

arc the same. No government
therefore, has the right to dictate
policies to another. Yet. young
nation, boasting the principles of
equality and justice, has passed
condemnation, cx partc, upon its
elders, and, either directly or indi-
rcctly through practical interpret
tation Of the Monroe Doctrine,
which has been to fomcnt discOrd
and acquire territory where foreign
nations presumably could not de-
fcnd themselves, but to avoid COM
plications with holy horror of in
justice wherever there might be
danger, has wrcstcd from them a
territory three times as large as
Europe. If European powers do
not know how to rule their subject 5
justly in the Western hemisphere,
we might by some acute logical
reasoning infer that they arc equally
deficient in this respect at home.
If, then, some political il!bustcr-
ing must be done, as i'm the case Of
Cuba, it would be at least more
honorable to do it under open
avowals and within the range of
the enemies guns.
But the vital question is differ
cnt one.
If the United States, discontin-
uing her political wrangling, injus-
ticc, and incilicicnCy at home, can
rise I" proper appreciation Of the
noble mission, now presenting
itself, of securing better social and
political conditions for the poverty
stricken masses wherever opportu-
mites present themselves. as in the
case of the Philippine Islands,; if
she can Tighten the burdens of gov
crnmcnts and relieve their subjects !;
II she can educate, cnlightcn, and
elevate the masses by Il Just and
wise administration of laws; if she
can bv a more extended and active
participation in international affairs
secure better conditions every
