been resumed We would have no ces-
sion of the sovereignty Of the Philip
pines and none of Porto Rico and no
REIMBURSEMENT of the sovereignty Of
Cuba.
'It is true that in the protocol of Au-
gust 18th Spain had definitely promis-
ed that she would cede Porto Rico and
relinquish Cuba, but without treaty
of peace that promise would rot be
performed. What would then have
. been the exigency of the situation?
Undoubtedly, we would have been COM
PEELED to go on and seize, with the
strong hand and by military power,
both the Philippine archipelago and
the greater and lesser Antilles, taking
by ruthless conquest what it was far
better that me should take by the vol
untary cession of a treaty of peace.
But now that we have them, it does
not follow that we are committed to
a colonial policy or to violation of
those great principles of liberty and
self government which must always
remain American ideals, if our free in
stitutions are to endure.
"No country, and this country least
of all, can afford to trample on it's
, ideals. l have no fear that it will do
so. Without assuming for a moment
any right to speak for the president,
| think | can assure you, with some
: knowledge whereof I speak, that he
fully appreciates the duties and respOn-
sibilities of the situation and that he
is committed to no policy, calculated
to discourage, much. less strike down,

ent political party, but I should be

pride which / feel as an American if

| William Mckinley. - He is no usurper
! of power. no stranger TO American in,
stitut1ons, but one of the American peo-
! pie called to his high Office by their
suffrages, and it would be strange in
i deed, if he did not share to the fullest
s, extent in the love Of our constitution
and the principles that underlie it.
, What less than this can be truthfully
said of IN American president? 1t will
| be the beginning of the end of our
great career as a nation. But the So
! luton of the problems which confront

When the treaty is>ratified no policy
can be adopted without the sanction

| people will determine, through their
representatives, what relations we shall
sustain to the Philippines Shall we
| hold the sovereignty in trust for their
people, as we will do in Cuba, or shall
we with their consent establish a pro-
tectorate over them or govern them as
we will the island of Porto Rico. All
these important questions will properly
come up for determination after the
ratification of the treaty. I will not en-
tertain the fear that the American peo-
pie will not stand by the principles Of
the constitution and the declaration
that they will not curb the ambition of
territorial aggrandizment and exhibit
to the world an example of moderation,
justice and self restraint that will be
worth to us in moral strength more

CONGRESSMAN DINCLEy DFa0
He Died Last Night Of Pneumonia
After Two Weeks Illness

Washington, January 13.-Hon. Nell

house of representatives and repre-
senting the Second congressional dis
trict of Maine in that body, died here
tonight at 10:30 o'clock. of heart fall
ure, resulting from extreme weakness
due to double pneumonia. He was un-
conscious during most Of the day, and
death came quietly without conscious
ness being regained. There were pres
ent at the time Mrs. Dingley, Miss

II. Dingley, sons of the deceased; Mr..
James c. Hooe, an intimate friend OF
the family; DR. Deale, one of the ply
sicians who has been attending him
throughout his illness and two nurses.
To within a few hours before his
death, the family firmly believed, as
they have throughout his illness, that
Mr.. Dingley would recover While the
past few days have given great hope
Of recovery, the progress Of the disease
had made the patient dangerously
weak and had seriously affected his
heart.
Late last night and again this morn
ing, Mr.. Dingley had a bad sinking

There were further evidences OF heart

night came hope was abandoned.
Mrs. Dingley is very much prostrat-
ed by her husbands death. and is now
under the care of a physician.
Representative Dingley's illness
| dated back to December 2sth, when he
complained that he was not well. The

COUNT ESTERHAZEY
Sends to the Court of Cessation a
Synopsis of His Testimony in the
Dreyfus Matter

Dreyfus Matter
Paris, January 14.-Major Count Es-
terhazey has sent to M. Mazeou, presi-
dent of the court ot>cassation, a syn
opsis of the evidence of which he
would have given at the Dreyfus re-
vision inquiry if a safe conduct had
been granted him. He admits his re-
lations during 1S94-'95, at the request
formation bureau, with a foreign
agent, by which the count claims he
supplied the colonel with important
information enabling him to combat
the intrigues of an individual well
known, but whose position made it un-
safe to act openly against him.
Esterhazey adds that he was warned
a month ahead of Matthew Drewfus'
intention and denounced it at the in
stigation of Colonel Picquart. Subse-
quently to this he had the closest re-
lationS with his superiors and acted
throughout on their instructions until
January Z. 1898, when, he claims, the
war ministry suddenly assumed a hos
tile attitude toward him.
Fresh proceedings, the count asserts,
were instituted at the instigation of
his cousin, with the view of getting
him out of the way and preventing him
from testifying before the court of
cessation.
In conclusion, Esterhazey says:
'tAlone, exiled, abandoned by those who
should have defended me, I have re-
sisted the most tempting offers and
have refused to say or write a word
against my chiefs. hope the pain will
be spared me of having to, appeal tc
the tribunal of public opinion from
the decision OF the court OF casa.

this occasion. The innovation seems
to be agreeable all around. Certainly
