THE NATIONAL WASHINGTON THURSDAY

tory by conquest or otherwise and to inherit
all the consequences that may accruc through
war He quoted Chief Justice Marshall to
sustain his position. contending that the
Chief Justice had said the United States had
not only the right to acquire, but also the
right to govern territory SO acquired.
Mr.. Foraker paid his compliments to Mr..
Hoar, repudiatinS that Senator's conclu-
sonS
1.-The trouble, Mr. President" continued
the Senator is that Senators are taking
about a theory instead of a practical condi-
tion What have the Senators who have dis
cussed these theories proposed? Nothing.
You all know the precedents OF the condition
we face. We Lad made war and its fortunes
had carried us to the Philippines When
the end came those islands were i'll our pos
session, What was to be done? Four pos
sihilities existed. We might return the
islands to Spain, allow some other country to
seize or. gobb!e them up, the people of the
islands might be left to themselves and the
anarchy that existed there, or we might our
selves take possession of them.
''The return of the islands to Spain, re-
sumed Mr. Foraker, was not to be con-
sidered. Were they then to be left to them
selves? About the time this question was
confronting us saw repeated newspaper
statements from Aguinaldo and his associates
among the insurgents to the effect that all
the countries of Europe wonld be on their
backs before breakfast if the United States
deser:ed them ut that juncture. We could
not lrave the islands at the mercy OF other
countries Such course would have been
cruel.
I'VE wisely decided against both these
Wa ApciIa6 N take nDSSpSSlOn 0IlI-
selves-for the present at least-until the
people Of those islands are ready and capable
OF selt-government"
The assertion of the temporary charact G T

But L had to acknowledge myself
puzzled. Not single word of our vis-
itor's harangue reminded me of any
kind of human speech tshadever heard
in my life, though a four, years sojourn
in New Orleans had given me smatter-
ing of good many languages. Such
gutterals were unheard of either in Ger
many or Polackdom, and had certainly
nothing in common with any Latin idiom.
Could this be a Gypsy or a Hungarian?
Perhaps she just wants something to
ca" said one of the scouts, and Joe
started at trot for the kitchen. But
the fair incognita merely touched the
proffered platter of tortiilas con carne
and continued her rapid harangue,
pointing, as before, to the Valley of the
Rio Gallo. nf ~'-.
Too bad" said the Captain I" this
poor brat may have come up here to
communicate some matter of life-and-
death Importance, either to herself or to
our camp, and here we are, standing
around like Cinnamon before an emf

Galvez to come here minute; he
bought mules from those Basque settlers
once, | remember"
But that expedient led to an unex-
pected result. Domador Galvez was
reading the riot act to one of his rowdies
at that moment, and at his approach,
stick in hand, our nondescript suddenly
took fright. For a second she stood
still, with her long, loose hair huttering
In the morning wind, and her black eyes
starting out of her head, then turned
and fled down-hiIl at a rate of speed
that defied pursuit.
She didn't like that club of yours,
did she, Sergeant? laughed the Cap
tain. "Bless my soul, if | don't believe
the poor thing thought you were coming
to teach her Spanish in a hurry; tie way
she started she will never stop galloping
this week"
Ii you say so, III take that dog and
stop her in 10 minutes" said the old
manhunter.
No, no let her co." said Capt.
Holgar; " we can't tell if she didn't

attempt crossing; but they exhibit no

loss to the Cohfederacy. We have
many good Generals, but there are none
who can fill the place of Stonewall."
May 12.-According to Yesterdays
orders We moved cut at daylight and took
the road toward the bridge. 1t is very
warm, dusty and disagreeahle marching,
