THE TRUEST PATRIOTISM.
New York World.

Our distinguished and entertain
ING contemporary the Herald dc
Iivers severe lecture to Mr. Cor.
man and his Democratic associates
in the Senate for opposing the
immediate, unquestioning and I'M
conditional ratification of Mr.. Me.
Kinley's treaty with Spain.
Why this haste! Why this
heat! What will happen if the
treaty be debated and amended!
Will the Spanish fleets rise from
their watery graves and resume
hostiIitieS! Will the soldiers sent
home to Spain return to Cuba and
Porto Rico2 Has not the execu-
ton Of the protocol given to the
United States beyond question or
or recall all the "fruitS OF war
that are desired by or valuable to
our people.
The prctense thtt there is any
national necessity for the unquuli-
fed ratification of the treaty is
preposterous. The Senators who
ask for declaration of the condi
tions under which the cession of
the Philippines shall be accepted
are acting quite within their con
stitutional right and under a bind
inc sense Of duty. The refusal
of the President to consent to Il
disclaimer Of f0rcible annexation is
an additional justification Of thei,
demand.
As for the Democrats, their at
titude is most honorable to thcil
party, because it can have only {
a patriotic motive. II is inspired
by Il regard for the national wei
fare. 1t shows that the Democratic
party is still the party of the con
stitution, while the Republican:
seek to "bcnd the Constitution
to their purposes.
If the Democrats considered the
treaty from the point of part
eXpcdiency they would not 90 ouj
of their way to oppose the Admin
istration policy. They woulC
simply file protest, and chuckl
as the treaty went through. Fo
at this time there are some aspect
in the imperial policy that dazzI
the eyes Of the unthinking, Yc
when the ultimate effect is see
when the enormous eXpcLditur
begins to be felt by the taxpayer
when the awful waste Of lif
among our soldiers in the deadl
tropics shall come home to on
people-tbc party rcspon~ibl
must be buried under u popuIa
+ opprobrium such rs has sc!dol
, been seen in our history. 1t woul
be an issue that would sweep 4
others out Of our sight.
70 resist the endcayor Of an o.
posing party to ruin itself bccauS
that ruin must produce also
national calamity is a policy
the highest patriotism.

NEW TROOPS FOR GEN. OTIS
VOLUNTEERS COMING HOME.
Aggressive Operations Suspended-Reg-
ulars on the way-Leave Both Coasts
this MOnth-The General will be well
Equipped for Emergencies.

Washington, Jan. 4.-General Otis at
Manila has been notified by cable of the
arrangements that have been completed
to reinforce his command by the dispatch
of six regiments of regular infantry.
The Twentieth, now at Fort Leaven-
worth, will sail from San Francisco on the
transport Scandal, January 7, and
is timed to reach Manila by the end of the
month. Major General Lawton has been
in command of the Fourth regiment, now
at Fort Sheridan. HIS, the Twelfth at
jefferson, o., and is directed to sail with
them January II from New York on the
transports Mohawk and Massachusetts,
proceeding by way of the Suez canal. This
force under General Lawton is expected
to reach the Philippines the second week
in February
The other two regiments selected for
garrison duty in the Philippines, the
Third infantry at Fort Smelling, MINI,
and the Twenty at Fort Crook,
Neb., will depart from San Francisco as
soon as transports are available.
The army steamer Senator, which left
Manila December 10, with the Astor bat
terry and other troops bound for San
Francisco, is due there next week and
will be ready to return with either the
Third OF the Twenty second regiment five
days later.
While everything is being done by the
war department authorities to expedite
the departure of these troops, in com
pliance with repeated limitations from
General Otis that he is anxious to eX-
change his volunteers for regulars, it has
been found impossible to start them, much
earlier than the middle OF January, which
was the time set when it was first decid-
ed two weeks ago to send portion of the
needed force by way OF New York on
account of the lack Of transport facilities
in the Pacific.
Until these troops reach the Philippines
it is not believed by the authorities that
General Otis will undertake any aggres-
sive operations for the extension OF Amer
lean sovereignty over the various prov
inces now held by the insurgents, al
though he has full discretion in the mat
ter, but that he will reserve his forces for
use in emergencies should the insurgents
grow unruly, particularly in the vicinity
of Manila.
Confidence was expressed at the war de-
partInent that there would be no battle
ut Iloilo until every resource of peace
able negotiations to induce the rebels to
evacuate the city had been exhausted.

miller KNOWS His Busin er..

Washington, Jan. 3.-General Otis at
Manila has cabled the war department
that, in his opinion, General Miller has
the situation well in hand at Iloilo, and
he fully understands the purpose of the
president not to crowd the insurgents I'M
duly. 1t is highly desirable that hos
tile collision between the American forces
and insurgents should be avoided at all
hazards, at least, pending the ratification
of the peace treaty, and as Miller now
understands this purpose on the part of
the president, he may be relied upon TO
resort to force only under absolute COM
RulsiOn.
