QUESTION FIVE.

.sIf you hold that the Filipinos are
instructors you must consider the
Philippines as q part Of the United
States, do you not; and if you do so
hold by what right and authority are
we to deprive them of all the rights and
privileges that other citizens Of the
United States enjoy? Can it be that
you desire to take these ignorant, semi
barbarous people into great nation
al family, placing them upon an equal
footing with yourself in all matters of
citizenship"
No, 1 do not consider the Philippines
as a part of the United States, although
/ do consider that they are colonial pos
sessions of the United States, bought
and paid for by the blood Of my COM
rades at arms and the coin of the realm
and l would deny to the Filipino the
natural right of citizenship which 1 en-
joy, by the same authority that we have
always denied the same right to the
American Indian, and 1 would do so,
not as act Of oppression; but a. a duty
we owe to ourselves n to- them until
such a time az they shall have shown
themselves fitted to intelligently dis
charge the duties of citizenship and to
properly understand und appreciate it's
benefits. I do not understand that it
is the intention of the government to
create a state out of these islands, but
rather that it is the intention to treat
them more as a colony, establishing
over them government something sim

IS TERRIBLY CRUSHED
Dan Oakley Nearly Killed by a Falling
Timber.
HIS FACE IS BADLY CUT
Workman on the Illinois centraI Bridge Gang
Severely Injured While Working ON
nonday Night.

About five o'clock last night Dan Oak
ley, q workman on the Illinois Central
gang, was nearly killed by a fall
ing timber. The timber, which was 70
x12 in size and ten feet long. wa being
hoisted into position when in sonADun-
way it fell from a height of
about eighteen feet striking Oakley in
the back and knocking him down be-
tween two piles. Had it not been for
the protecting piles his body would
probably have been cut in two. AS it
was his shoulder blade was broken, two
ribs were Jared loose, and his face and
neck were very badly cut. One cash
went through his cheek. so that when
chloroform was administered later he
breathed through the opening made.
He was taken to Klinker's hotel and
cared for as speedily as possible. This
morning he was some easier, and it is
expected that his rugged constitution
will pull him through all right. He says
he has no home and that his only rela.
tives are two sisters living in Marion,
Iowa.

tunate man and to the many who have

QUESTION THREE.

VI. 2OGSlxON xnVs2Ge /
lis it not fact that Spanish rule had
beer destroyed in the Philippines long
before Dewey's victory on May Land
that Manila and a few other cities were
the only parts Of the islands where
Aguinaldo's government was not the
recognized authority; and if such is not
the case and Spain still held sway over
all, for what did we pay her the $780,
coo, 600 when we had already secured
all her claim by c%onquest?" 3
1t is an indisputable and undenied
fact that these islands have seen 3
few days that were free from rebellion
and strife during the past two centuries
and it is also true that aside from the
larger towns and the immediate terri
tory surrounding them, the Spanish
have had but little control over the is
lands, but it is not true That AgulnaldO
was the recognized authority, as a mat
ter Of fact that industrious and enter
prising patriot who has a world wide
reputation as q maker of rebelliOns to
order, was not in the islands at all for
several months previous to Dewey'S
victory, he having gone TO Hong Kong
to live in comfort and ease upon the
first half of the $500, 600 bride paid to
him by the Spanish government to quell
the rebellion of 1895. AguinaldO has
been very much overrated by his friends
in the United States, as his authority
has never been recognized as an auth
IOrity outside of the island of LuZOn.
and here only by the TagalOs and Pam
Ipangas, two of the many tribes which
the Islands contains, the variousleaders
in the other islands looking upon him
only as q sort of a brilliant example,
to pattern after but to whom they owed
no allegiance whatsoever, so that after
all it is only with regard to these two
tribes on Luzon that we need to secure
Aguinalde's consent" to govern. In
regard to the $~2O,OO0,OO paid to Spain,
/ had supposed that everyone with the
average amount of brains knew that it
was paid as q balance between the
amount Of indemnity our legally APP
pointed commissioners decided Spain
owed US as a result Of the war and the
actual value Of the territory coded to, us
by that country, the payment Of which
ought to meet with the hearty approval
of my unknown friend, as he, with all
his high sense of Justice, would have
had US refuse to pay what we consider
led we justly owed and claimed all this
valuable territory by right OF sscon-
lquest.r thus robbing poor old bankrupt
IHpain just because we had the power tc
do, so.

QUESTION FOUR.
..Howcan you hold that the present
war is q rebellion against the govern
ment OF the United States when it was
begun before the final ratification of
peace between Spain and the United
States?"
After the overthrow Of the Spanish
government by the victories of May /
and August Is, our vas theiOnly re-
sponsible government left in the Phil
ippines, and 1t was to 0ur government
that all the nations OF the earth looked
for the protection of the lives and prop
erty of their subjects, consequently al
though AguinaldO's friends in the SEN
ate Of the United States managed to
delay the final ratification Of peace un
til March 81, while hostilities opened on
February A, 1 hold that when the Fill
pin0S refused to abide by the mandates
Of Gen. Otis, the lawful representative
Of the United States in the Philippines,
they became ins~urrecti0nist by the COM
mon law Of nations. Nor am / alone in
this manner Of reasoning for the claim
is admitted even by Aguinaldo him
self, when in his reply to General Otis
about the release of the Spanish prison
ers of war held by him, he said that as
the government of the United States
had assumed all the duties and respon-
sibilities of the Spanish government in
the Philippines and represented the
interest Of Spain as we'll as America,
therefore the Spanish prisoners were in
realty American prisoners and he re-
fused to release them uponthatground.
Thus Aguinaldo himself has admitted
the jurisdiction of the United States
and SO stamps himself as an insurrec-
tionists when he offers armed resistance
to it's lawful will.

like the wind, to show US how easy
we're the hills to climb, did we but
ferred to follow the river, aud only left
it when a combination of huge bould-
ers, precipitous banks aud deep water,
forced us to the hills.
Sometimes the branches of trees
were determined to brush US from the
saddles, and once our little mule was
quite hung up by his pack, a strong
branoh finding its way under the cords,
and was as the proud descended just

ours, and neither china nor silver was
needed to coal our appetites.

satisfied. But the mountains have
