THE administration policy is to car

The campaign must be pushed acti.e.
~ and vigorously. and the opposition
TO our army must be ended as rapidly
as possible. Peace must be established
by this government, and maintained
thereby until congress shall determine
what shall he done with the islands.
From what the president said, il is
proposed to bend every resource to the
stamping out of all opposition TO ou.
