Friday EVENING. FEB. 10, 1899

THE PRESIDENT of the Philippine
Republic says if the American attempt
to conquer that republic succeed, the
people thereof will ''simply be slaves,
Why, of course, they will, for they have
been bought from Spain at the price of
two dollars a head, and that the United
States are not going TO set them free
has been proved by the recent slaughter
of thousands of them for attempting 10
gain their freedom. Northern people
didn't even set their negro slaves free,
but sold them to Southern planters,
and that they don't intend now to buy
slaves merely for the purpose OF freeing
them, is too well known to require
mention.
