It's president, the only lawful sovereign
~ and authority over these Islands,
sovereignty and an authority recog-
nized and undisputed by any single ma
ton or people on the face Of the earth.
They will be told that in one of these
Islands one of those numerous tribes
has raised an army of insurgents
against the American flag: that they,
while our soldiers were in peaceful pos
session of Manila, attempted to rise and
murder them and the American repre-
sertatives there; that they fired on the
American flag: that they defied its au
thority. and that they have attempted
by murder, by conflagration and by
arms to drive the lawful authority OF
the United States from the island OF
Luzon. They will tell these children
of yours that these men who have at
tempted this comprise not one-tenth per
cent. OF the people of those islands. and
the answer that is to be made to those
who ask what we are to do about it, is
the plain and simple answer that was
given in 1881, If any man attempts to
haul down the American flag shoot him
on the spot
And so, my friends your president,
your secretary of war, your secretary
of the navy, aye, all Of the people Of

United States in these islands. To do
their plain and simple. duty, to accom-
plish that which ulN,r their solemn
oaths they have promised to do, to
maintain not only the full dignity and
authority of the American flag but to
carry it on. You believe and I believe it
ss wise purpose of providence, which,
after 300 years of despotism and igno-
rance. has opened the door of these
islands TO American intelligence. to
American civilization, to American
progress, to American prosperity. The
full tide of prosperity flows through this
land as majestically and unrutfied as
this great river flows by your city. We
want a flow of progress and 1ntelli-.
gence, OF liberty and civilization to flow
into these Philippine islands, and over
all, to float, now and forever, the faS
of the American union"
Secretary Long. A
The speech of Secretary Long at
Quincy was as follows:
Il notice your chairman is very dis
criminatin He Introduces me. but
compliments not me, but the navy, and
there, my friends, he is quite right. 1t

of the United States, its officers selected
from every congressional district
throughout the union. inspired by the
highest sentiments of professional and
natural zeal it is the navy which de-
serves your commenda ton and has
earned the gratitude OF the people OF
the United States. (Applause) My
