NEEDED EDITING.

A prominent Manila correspondent
sends a dispatch to his paper via Hong
kong. in which he reports that the CEN
sorship established by General Otis has
taken on a political aspect since the
cessation OF active hostlities, and it Is
the actual political situation, as we'll as
the military, that has been measurably
concealed from the people at home. lie
also says that the native feeling is grow
ing stronger against the Americans
day by day. even in Manila. whose non
combatant population has come 20 hate
US as intensely as do the insurgents In
the field.
And the Rev. Peter MacQueen, who
was on the Island of Luzon for six
months as chaplain of the First Cali
fornia Volunteers, declares that there is
not a Filipino in the islands that wants
the American form Of government. There
was a time, he states, when the
conquest of the islands might have
been completed with comparatively little
bloodshed. and that was Immediately
after Dewey's victory. Since that time,
however, he adds. the policy has been
such as to encourage resistance.
Here we have concurrent testimony
which IS widely at variance with several
Of the assurances that President McKin-
Icy gave at Pittsburg In a definition of
his Philippines policy that didn't define.
Really, II would seem that the Pitts
burg speech ought TO have been carefully
edited by some one who knew the facts.
