SCHURMAN AND LONG
TALK OF PHILIPPINES

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 25.-The Union
League celebrated the thirty-siXth ami
versary of its founding by a banquet at
the clubhouse tonight John d. Long,
Secretary of the Navy, and Jacob Gould
Schurman, president OF Cornell University
and president OF the Philippine Commis-
sion. were the guests OF honor and the
principal speakers.
Professor Schurman IN his address said
the American flag had been planted in
the Philippines and was there 10 stay.
Hon. John d. Long. Secretary of the
Navy. upon being introduced, described
the great popular demonstration which
he had witnessed earlier in the day at the
funeral OF Vice President Hobart, when
the late neighbors of the distinguished
statesmen had evinced their sorrow and
respect for his memory. He said:
Let US congratulate ourselves on the
condition in which the country is now
under the present administration Of af-
fairs, the admirable condition OF It's in
dustries and its business. Tell me what
there is you would have otherwise than It
is. the principle OF the government you
would have enforced that is not to-day in
force, what line of development you would
seek that is not the line on which your
Government is now proceeding.
with regard TO the Philippine Ques-
ton. IL occurs to ask whether or not.
some thirty years from now. somebody
may not rise in this hall and say: 1 re-
member that in 1899 there were excellent
people who said the despotisms OF the old
world were as nothing as compared with
the tyranny OF William Mckinley. All!
thirty years from now not only will our
people be rejoicing in the humanity and
the generous spirit which has animated
this administration In its attitude toward
the Philippines in giving them the bless
ings Of good government. but the next
generation of the inhabitants OF these
islands will recall the establishment
among them of the school. the ship. the
institutions of liberty. and will thank God
that. under the shelter OF the broad shield
Of the United States. they find realization
of their dream of a larger liberty in be-
coming American citizens. II Imperialism
means the subjugation Of a people or the
deprivation OF their rights. then there is
not an imperialist In the length and
breadth OF our land, but II imperialism
means the extension of the American in
stitution among those people who have
come under the shield Of the United
States, then we are all imperialists."

PILAR'S ATTEMPT
TO AID AGUINALD0

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The War De-
partment officials are disposed 10 account
FOR the sudden activity developed by the
insurgents south OF Manila, as reported
this morning, on the assumption that the
lnsurgent general in command there be-
heved to be Pho del Pillar, has received
notice through some OF his spies OF the
desperate straits OF Aguinaldo and is
manfully trying to create a diversion in
his favor by attacking the American
force from the rear. He occupies strong
defensive ground. and Cavite province,
the home OF Aguinaldo, has never been
taken by the Spaniards since the first
hostilities.
General Schwan. assisted by the ma
rines from the naval station at Cavite,
made raid through the territory last
summer, but It was during the wet sea-
son. the swamps were deep, and beyond
driving the insurgents off temporarily
nothing substantial was achieved, and the
country was abandoned to the insurgents.
Now. however. with the advent OF the dry
season. the time is ripe for the execution
or the plans Of General Otis to clear out
this country permanently and carry out
his favorite project for the installment IN
the province OF municipal governments,
and General Grant, IN command there. Is

PREDICTS PRESIDENT
MKlNLEY'S DEFEAT

BOSTON, Nov 25.-The New England
Anti-Imperialistic League held it's annual
meeting in Wesleyan Hall to-day, at
which the principal speech was made by
Ex-Governor George w. Boutwell,. Wins
low Warren presided. Ex-Governor Bout
well roundly scored the Mckinley admin
istratlon for it's policy in the Philippines.
The point In his address-and II was all
punctuated with applause-which aroused
most enthusiasm was when he declared
that II President Mckinley is the candi-
date of the Republican party next year
on a platform embodying his present pol
lev he will be as surprised a man on the
morning after election as Van Buren, was
I'm 1s4O. when he thought he was elected.
while he had received the votes of only
five States.
Gamaliel Bradford presented a resolu-
ton, which was adopted, to the fleet that
the ministers should be asked to present
the topic of the war in the Philippines in
their Thanksgiving day sermons.
At the business meeting officers were
elected. including George S. Boutwell,,
president; Irving Winslow, secretary;
Francis A. Osborne, treasurer

were killed IN the engagements and the
natives reported that nineteen carloads Of
wounded were taken away.
Among the Americans killed were a
lieutenant Of the Eighteenth Regiment
and sergeant Of artillery. Twelve obso-
lete cannon were captured. Santa Bar
bara and Maasin arsenal were deserted
before the Americans arrived. The in
surgents seeing it was impossible 70 resist
the movement retired with most OF their
stores.
The Third Infantry reconnoitering from
Balinag met the insurgents on the main
road and had a running fight to San Ilde-
fonso, where they drove three hundred
t1lipinos from an old Spanish redoubt.
Proceeding toward San Miguel, the
Americans found the insurgents in a
series Of strong works, two miles south
OF the town, probably General Pho del
Pilar's old command. numbering 100 men.
An officer and a private were killed. The
insurgents had four men killed and ten
wounded. Nine Filipinos were captured
This is probably the largest band Of insur-
gents north Of the Pasig River.

EXISTING ANGL0-GERMAN
RELATIONS NOT CHANGED

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-That portion OF the
press IN touch with the Foreign Office as
siduously cenies that the South African
situation was discussed by Emperor VIII
liam and British statesmen during his
Majesty's visit 10 England and the pnlit-
zeal world IS OF the opinion that the visit
will not materially change the existing
Anglo-Germm relations.
The conservative Post says: Every one
has his private opinion as TO the justice
or injustice OF the English cause in the
present war. Considering the whole ques-
ton we have TO bear in mind that the
time for an exclusively continental policy
for Germany has passed. The German ma
ton, as a young, aspiring sea power. must
endeavor TO be on a good footing with
the great sea powers and not enter into
conflict with them except where her own
life interests are at stake. This is not
the case in the South African question.
for England is not thinking OF robbing
US OF our African possessions.

KITCHENER WILL NOT
BE SENT AT PRESENT

LONDON, Nov. 25.-One OF the most TO
rnarkable reports afloat here Is that the
Sirdir, Lord Kitchener. will be sent TO
South Africa This is only partly true.
What is the fact on the subject is that.
were there 10 be serious reverses to the
British forces-which seems little likely
from latest reports-Lord Kitchener, as a
practical fighting man. would be called
upon. In the meantime Lord Wolseley
has the utmost faith in Sir Rsdvers Bull
Ter, who Is his warm personal friend, and
who has with General Sir Evelyn Woods
and Sir Charles Warren worked out the
entire plan OF campaign. Sir Charles
Warren's appointment, although he is OF
an age where he would under ordinary
circumstances be retired. Is intensely pop
ular. His book upon the value OF scout
ing in South Africa Is a military classic
and describes just the kind of warfare
now being waged.
1t may seem strange thing to saw. hut
until yesterday. when the people heard OF
Methuen's success, the British here had
had no news OF any account for well nigh
a fortnight. The result was that the peo-
pie had grown extremely nervous. The
place to witness sentimental interest in tbs
war is the special room In ST. James
