on the matter
When. the Associated Press correspond

treaty would end the fight against the an

Not by any means. While many have
thought that the fight should be made
against the treaty ! have felt that the real
fight is to he made for a resolution deelar-
ing the national policy. The opposition 10
the treaty has served a useful purpose, and
the opponents of the ratification made a
gallant dght but there was never any
chance OF defeating ratification.
Now that the treaty is out OF the way,
it can be treated as a domestic question
and the line can be drawn between those
who believe in forcible annexation and
those who believe that the Fiiipinos should
be allowed TO govern themselves.
Il have not lost faith in the doctrine of
self-government and believe that the peo-
pie will rcpudiate the imperiallstic policy"

win therefore proceed at once 70 complete
the military occupation OF them Perhaps
there is justification for this last view in
the fact that the Filipinos were Spanish
subjects nomnally when they broke the
terms of the protocol and thereby released
the United States from its observance.
May Be Left TO Otis.
The medium view, and that which Is
likely to be followed, is that Gen. Ols is
justified in doing anything that is neces-
sary to protect his army and all American
and foreign interests IN Manila, even
though this obliged him to assume the Of
fensive and to go outside of the old lines
in pursuit of the insurgents who may be
seeking to reorganize and recoup from
their late defeat with an intention of at
tacking again or even threatening the
Americans.
Secretary Long this evening said that
no additional orders had been sent to Ad-
miral Dewey and he did not anticipate that
any would be necessary just now. He had
been acting on the theory that the presi-
dent desired TO follow the most liberal
policy in dealing with the Filipinos, and
there was no reason now to change that
policy
The Solace started from Norfolk at 3
o'clock this afternoon with supply Of
ammunition and other needed stores for
Dewey's fleet via the Snez canal, but 1t is
not the intention to send further naval re-
Inducements.
1t was learned upon Inquiry at the war
department that all the American troops
at Manila have an abundant supply of
smokeless powder The regulars have the
ag-Jorgensen rife and about 5000 of the
same weapons are in the hands Of the yol-
unteers.
Got Away just In Time.
1t is no secret now that the authorities
here We're preparing 10 arrest Agoncilo
just as he fed but probably they are not
sorry that he got off safely and thus
relieved them from the performance OF a
disa@reeable task.
The conduct of the remaining members
of the Filipino Junta is stiI under close
watch, and while the treatment TO be ac-
corded them has not been determined, II is
recognized that they are ia a preearious
position legally and can secure immunity
only by the exercise of the greatest disere-

We desire at this time to express our
gratitude to the physicians and friends
who 30 kindly and cheerfully assisted
NJ in our distressing circumstances when
our little daughter unfortunately lost
her limb. To Drs. Smith, Carver and
especially to DR.. Holmgren, whose ef-
fioient and careful aid was 80 generous
" given, and we cannot sufficiently
express our feelings of thankfulness to
him, who not only proved himself .
skillfnl physician, thoroughly capable
to perform the critical operation, but
who besides showed such kindness of
heart and deep interest until the work
was successfully and scientifically done.
We feel the most unbounded confidence
in the skill and thorough knowledge of
Doctor Holmgren. We tender our
heartfelt thanks to all the citizens Of
Canton who SO cheerfully responded to
the request for aid in procuring en-
artificial limb, and to Mrs. Shaft for her
untiring effort in collecting the amount
necessary to meet the expenses. We
cannot sufficiently express our feelings
when we recollect not only the sympa-
thy shown, but the material aid rem
dered by doctors and citizens, when We
were not able to help ourselves, and we
pray that kind Providence may rem
der to them what we cannot, recollect-
ing that cup of water given to the
needy shall not lose its reward.
