rHE WORK oF CONQUEST.

We have paid s2o00o0oo to Spain
for the Philippines. and it is evidently
the intention Of the Mckinley admins
stration to hold on to them. Under
such a condition the first thing to do is
TO pacify our new possessions-by
moral suasion If possible; by force Of
arms II necessary Moral suasion has
failed and force of arms has been re-
sorted to. Humane consideration for
our own soldiers, as well as for the
natives, demands that pacihcation be
accomplished as quickly as possible
To effect a speedy termination Of the
struggle General Otis must have
enough men not only to defeat the ma
tives wherever and whenever they
make a stand, but also to effectively po-
lice and hold the territory from which
the insurgents have been driven. For
the force in the field to be inadequate
to accomplish these things is shame
full waste Of human energy and the
inniction Of useless suffering and loss
of life on both sides.
The administration has at last
awakened to the fact that the force
under command of General Otis is In
adequate to either overawe the insur-
gents or to hold the lines as they ar,
extended farther and farther into the
country Advices from Washington arI
to the effect that the determination
seems to have been reached by the au
thorities to reinforce the army in th'
Philippines by organizing a number o
regiments under the authority OF tn
reorganization act The number to b
recruited and the methods Of recruiting
will be determined by the War Depart
ment, under general direction Of tn
president The act alluded to authorize
the president to maintain the regula
army at a strength Of not exceedln
$1,000 enlisted men, and to raise
force Of not exceeding $4,000 volur
teers, to be recruited as the presider
may determine from the country G
large this latter force to be continue
in service only during the necessit
therefor and not later than July
1901. The present strength Of the rel
ular army is not far from the maximui
named in the act, so that no difficult
is anticipated In securing the necessai
number Of recruits within a reasonab
short time to constitute the fu
strength and to maintain it. It is III
derstood to be the purpose Of the pres
dent to raise ten thousand men. or
greater number II 1t should be foui
necessary, to constitute the provision
force authorized by the act. This pr
Esional force will be used to mainta
the effective strength Of the Philippi
army at thirty thousand. after allol
ing for the sick and disabled, and
that end It is said General Otis will
kept supplied at all times until the /
surrection shall be suppressed WI
forty thousand men,
Whatever As to be done should
done quickly. The war OF subiecti
is by no means popular one in n
country, and the adverse sentiment
steadily gaining ground. What was
first regarded as an easy piece Of wo
for a small army has become a dill
cult job for a large one. The bel
that after we had driven Spain fr'
the islands the Filipinos would hail
as saviours and gladly embrace our
minion has been dispelled. and
right to govern the islands must
fought for every step Of the way.
