McKINLEY's BAD POLICY.
But For 1t The Filipinos Would Be
LOYAL 10 America.

Herewith is presented comprehen-
sive statement OF the situation in the
Philippines.
1t is written by F. w. Sylvester, a
member of the firm of Louis Spitzel &
Co., one of the largest merchant and
shipping house in the Far East, con-
tractors to the Chinese government,
agents for the Maxim Nordenfelt Gun
and Ammunition Company of London,
the Thames Iron Works and Shipbuild-
ing Company, and other firms of like
standing.
Mr.. Sylvester returned to London
lately from Manila and Hong Kong.
He has intimate personal knowledge OF
Aguinaldo and his followers. 1t was he
who sold Aguinaldo arms through Con-
sui Wildman.
He is recognized as one of the high
est authorities on trade conditions in
the East. No other man has had such
opportunity: to learn the exact facts.
Oxford Street, London, July I.
Our campaign against the Filipinos
is bound to be expensive, unsatisfactory
and deplorable. There is no doubt that
eventually we shall conquer or wear
these people out, but it will cost more
American blood and money than the
present administration ever supposed.
l am an American with patriotic SEN
tlments as strong as those of any Amer
lean citizen. I was on the most intimate
and friendly terms with all the Filipino
officials, from Aguinaldo down, and
therefore you must agree with me that
any statement make is without bias.
The foundation of all the trouble lies
in the policy adopted by the admins
tration when sending General Merritt to
the Philippines. The policy was to ig-
more the Filipinos-a policy not only
unwise but mad. Things have gone too
far.
If proper and less aggressive policy
had been pursued at the outset every
Filipino would to-day be loyal to the
stars and stripes.
The Elliptic leaders were taken over
to the Philippine islands by an Amer
lean war vessel. American officials en-
couraged them to organize an army to
fight the common enemy.
Although General Merritt's policy
was to ignore the Filipinos, he never
raised any objection to their fighting in
front of the American troops Although
Aguinaldo and his followers could not
understand the generals peculiar posi-
ton up to the day Of Manila's capture,
the thought never entered their heads
that they were acting in any way hostile
to the American governments wishes.
The capture of Manila was an opera
bouffe affair. Everything was prear-
ranged
The earthworks nearest Manila had
been taken by the Filipinos and were
occupied by them. There were 10000
Filipino soldiers in front of the Amer
lean forces. The Filipinos were asked
to evacuate, and did so in complete ig-
norance of the Americans intentions.
When the American troops marched
into Manila the Filipinos tried to follow,
whereupon several United States regi-
ments turned on them with fixed bay
onets.
Aguinaldo told me that if the Amer

The MAzET investigating committee in New York
has recently been unfolding partially some of the
attending evils underlying the spoils system 1t
also proves the necessity Of stringent measures to
obviate the wholesale manner in which the taxpayers
are being imposed upon by public officials. In New
York, as in great many other large cities, public
position is considered stepping stone to wealth
and luxury. Large sums of money are derived from
fees and other questionable which honest
conscientious man, having the welfare Of the tax
payer and the morals Of the rising generation at
heart would scom the acceptance Of. Show me a
man who approves Of paying sheriff in fees sum
Of money which doubles that of the state executive
and we find who is morally unfit for the re-

our legislators had the courage the inclination to
thoroughly examine into the principal Of the thing,
doesn't reflect in the least upon the honesty Of the
one taking advantage of this axity. When evidences
of dishonesty plainly apparent in those whom
the masses honor with such positions, need
hope for lessening in the criminal population not
withstanding the stupendous reforms now being
inaugurated for their redemption.
