In his speech at Ocean Grove Presi
deut MCKINLEY said:

In his speech at Ocean Grove Presl-
dent Mckinley said:
I think we have more love for our
country and more people love our nag
than ever before; and wherever thaI
flag is raised it stands not for despol-
ism and oppression, but for liberty, op-
portunity and humanity, and what that
flag has done for US we want 1T TO 90
for all peoples and all lands which by
the fortune of war have come within
it's Jurisdiction That flag does not
mean one thing in the United states
and another thing in Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
That is it, precisely. But the mug
wumps and American Aguinaldoites tell
us that in the Philippines the flag
stands for oppression and 1nhumanlty,
for wrong and outrage upon the rights
of human beings. The trouble is that
the President knows and the other fell
lows do not. The opposition hears the
voice of the yellow press, it accepts as
fact the statement that Aguinaldo rep
resents all F'ilipinos, that there is such
thing as Filipino State, that our
arms are conquesting and conquering
to enslave and hold in vassalage. Upon
such nremises the sincere men and wo-
men of the opposition plant their sym
nathies and build their antagonism to
the Administration. When President
Mckinley later at Pittsburg said that
we were not the aggressors but that the
PHILIPPINES were, that they had long
provoked, insulted and assaulted our
troops: that they pushed us beyond the
bonds of endurance, and yet we did
not strike back, and that not until
Aguinaldo delivered actual blows, dlo
we make response in kind. Then war
began, and. added the President, take
the responsibility for the direction that
held our men back and compelled them
to submit to outrage and insult. But
when the blow was delivered General
Otis. said the President, executed the
orders of the Government and nothing
more. So the President knows the facts
and all of them, and he defends the
proceedings had against the insurgents.
The opposition have nothing to war
rant them in announcement Of the Gov
ernment and the policy of the Admin
istration, except a fabric of misrepre-
sentation-such, for instance, as that
Aguinaldo was brought to Manila by
Admiral Dewey under express promise
by the latter that the republic he might
organize should have recognition and
be given full. control-a pledge never
given, a promise in direct opposition
to the views of Admiral Dewey re-
peatedly voiced.

the publication of the "Canaille de
D" document. one of the documents
secretly communicated TO the Dreyfus
court martial of 1891. and which has
been shown not TO refer to Captain
Dreyfus ut all.
The object Of the government is to
discover who communicated II to lie

etal Gonse. The publication was three
years ago. hut under the law prosecu-
