CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE opposition of
the anti-eXpansionists TO the subJugauon
Of the Filipinos took tangible form to-
day in the meeting of about l6O delegates
from different parts of the country to
launch a crusade against the policy of the
administration in the Philippines; Inc
meeting was called to order IN central
Music Hall by Temporary Chairman Ed
win Burritt Smith of Chicago Mr.. Smith
spoke as follows:
II is now some eighteen months since Mr..
Mckinley, with professions of reluctance, de-
Hberately changed simple naval position be-
fore Manila into complex military situation
On Asiatc soil. The army Of occupation was
not sent TO protect the naval force under Ad-
miral Dewey. 1t was sent to support a dec
laration that the Filipinos as well as the
Cubans are and of right ought to be free and
Independent, it was sent 10 defend a flag hoist
ed without right on a foreign soil. It was
ton in the Western Hemisphere into a
war of conquest in Asia-in a word, to
mence IA war OF criminal aggression" Men
recruited to fight for liberty in Cuba were sent
TO fight against liberty in the Philippines. Mr..
Mckinley thus transformed a war of humanity
in Cuba into a war OF inhumanity in the East
The adnfnfstra ti,u seeks IN cornulete he de-
structiOn of self-government in the Philippines
before the American people can pass Judgment
upon its course. II seems to be thought that
with the death by American hands of the first
attempt at self government in Asia all oppo-
sitiOn here viii cease.
This is a huge mistake Much as we abhor
the war Of crimine' aggression in the Phil
ippineS, greatly as we regret that the blood of
the FilipinOs Is on American hands, We more
deeply resent the betrayal Of American insti-
tutons at home. The real firing line is not in
the suburbs Of Manila. 1t is here. The enemy
is of our own household. He comes to us

This conference should make it known at

next year to contribute to the defeat of any
party that shall then stand for the forcible
subjugation of any people; that we shall or-
pose the reelection of any who in the Whfta
House or Congress. shall have BETRAYED Ameri-

The committee on organization of the
conference was appointed as follows:
George G. Mercer, Philadelphia: Frank II

Louis R. Enrich. Colorado Springs. Colo.

its policy with entire freedom and with much
power.

MAYO BAND JOINS
THE YAQUI REBELS
Will Make Common
Cause Against Mexico.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. ia dispatch
from Ortiz, State of Sonora, Mexico, says
that band of over 300 Mayo Indians have
Joined the Yaqui rebels at their rendez-
vous near Sahauripa. When the Yaqui
uprising occurred few months ago ennis
saries were sent by the Yaqui chiefs to
the Mayo tribe to induce those Indians to
join them in the war against the Mexican
Government.
The Mayo chiefs refused to take part
in the war. but the enthusiasm OF the
younger braves could not be controlled
and many of them abandoned their pas
toral pursuits and began dancing. These
dances have continued without Interrupt
ton ever since, and it Is expected several
hundred more Mayos in addition to the
hundreds now at the Sahauripa camp will
soon join the Yaquis.
The Mayos and Yaquis have long oc-
cupied adjacent territory and lived in har-
mOny with each other.
In the previous wars of the Yaquis
against the Mexican Government the
Mayos refused to become their allies ard
the present action of the younger Mayo
braves Is strongly disapproved by the

GENERAL CRITICISM
OF OTIS METHODS

MANILA. Oct 13 (via Hongkong, Oct.
1O.-Recent military operations on Porac
10 the north and on San Francisco and
Malabon to the south, which were
MANNED in General Otis Office In Manila,
contemplated only expeditions against the
enemy and immediate withdrawal from
these regions. These operations were
severely criticised by the military men
generally, as the territory abandoned by
the Americans was Immediately reoccu-
pied by the insurgents.
The futiity of such maneuvers is dis
couraging Soldiers and officers alike
feel that their lives are being sacrificed
without accomplishing results. Our losses
are heavy when compared with the ad-
Vantages gained. Sound military men
say the territory must be held by garri-
soning the principal ports and interior
towns.
The bIockaded ports are filed with i'm
mense quantities of hemp. Foreign buy
ers and shippers claim that the market
and the people are being ruined, and
peaceful people starved through the short
age in rice caused by the failure of the
Americans to occupy and control these
ports.
The medical department Is outraged be-
cause General Otis refuses to recognize
through its representations the dire need
of more medical officers, nurses and hos
pital room.
The first reserve hospital is in bad
shape Hundreds of sick are lying in dirty
tents, though for months the extreme
need of more room was impressed on the
Governor General. The failure to erect
or provide sufficient hospital room is pos
sibiy explained by General Otis mental
attitude, which causes him to say to
newspaper correspondents that 25 per cent
of the men in the hospitals are mailing
ering.
General Otis recently sent a line officer
with no medical knowledge to investigate
and reDOrt on the men sick in certain
regiment, though the surgeons official re-
ports in hand showed an expert diagnosis
In each case.
Constant refusals to meet the quarter
masters demands may handicap future
moves very seriously. Many officers are
protecting themselves by going on record

Boom for Copperopolis.

COPPEROPOLIS, Oct. 17.-After a close
down of six years and two months, the
Union Copper Company started to pump

time. Last night the old residents of the

Entombed by an Explosion.

POTTsVILLE, Pa, Oct. 17.-shortly be-

ginning has been made. No breath Of
suspicion attaches to the officers in
control of affairs in those far away
islands, The commission he has sent
there is composed of gentlemen of the
highest probity and acknowledged
ability. But this is only the COM
mencement OF what at best must be
long and difficult task. 1t is the pur-
pose of the country, an unquestionable
desire from the public heart to have
such management Of affairs in these
benighted regions as shall make for
the civilization and moral uplifting Of
the inhabitants. But this same public
has something else to do but ardently
wish: demand must follow the wish
and insistence and eternal vigilance
follow the demand. Already those dis
posed to scott at this aspiration for ex-
panding civilization refer us to the OUT
RACES we have perpetrated on the In
dams, on the negroes. in our own land
where the management necessarily
comes more directly under public SUI
pervision than it possibly can in those
far-away island possessions.
Evidently there is something to do
besides placidly folding our hands
serenely contented with the conscious
ness that we want to civilize the
Filipinos.
In the words of the President: The
future of the Philippine islands is now
in the hands of the American people"
From out his faith in them he speaks.

around Manila. where every red drop,
whether from the veins of an American
soldier or a misguided Filipino, is
anguish to my heart; but by the broad
danger of future years, when that
group of islands, under the impulse of
the greatest and glories of those
tropical seas; a land of plenty and of
increasing possibilities: people re-
deemed from savage Incidence and

all nations. enjoying the blessings of

An Important Committee.

The appointment of the committee on
monetary legislation, in accordance
with the recent caucus of Republican
representatives, is worthy of more
than passing notice. The men that
compose it are for sound money, and
they have demonstrated their ability
to stand for the faith that is in them.
Moreover as none of them are members
of either the coinage or banking and
currency committees Of the House they
will not be hampered by sponsorship
for either of the bills emanating from
those committees. And as it is evil
dent that there is to be, before the de-
sired legislation can be secured, some
sort of an agreement not representing
in it's entirety either of those measures,
this feature of an unprejudiced COM
mittee is seen to be an important one.
Congress has a great deal on its
hands aside from the consideration Of
monetary legislation, and the same
may safely be predicted for it's success
sor, but the question of currency is
certain to come up for consideration
and the new committee has a work to
perform that it should not and un-
doubtedly will not delay.
