fully, and to. day we would have
been at peace with the Philippine
Republic, and our army and navy,
which is low waging war against
our former friends and allies, would
have been disbanded. No thou

been shot dowR in cold blood. No
American blood would have been
split in this unholy war. No Army

getting ready to greatly increase
the burden Of our taxation. But
the President changed his original
intention. He committed fatal
error. He wrote into that treaty
the absolute transfer of Spanish
sovereignty over the Philippines
to ourselves, and the payment oi
$40, ,ooo, 900 out of the United
States Treasury as a consideration
for the cession. He sent this treaty
to the Senate Of the United States
for ratification. Thea he issued
to the people OF the Philippines
that proclamation in which he in
formed them that the United States
had succeeded to the title of Spain,
declared that the Government and
control OF their territory belonged
to US, ordered them to pay their
taxes to the military government
which he established over them,
and blandly made known to there
that our mission in their midst was
one OF benevolent assimilation"
They were further assured by him,
as he took their islands without
their consent and established gov
ernment over them against their
wish, that we came in order that
we might confer inestimable ad-
vantages and blessings upon them, |

to the treaty which he had negoti-

The Work OF English Missionaries,
Admiral Kautz, acting under
orders from President Mckinley,
united with the British naval Off
GERS and the British consul in de-
posing a man who had been chosen
King by move than two-thIrds oi
the people Of Samoa, and setting
up as King youth who could not
muster more than third OF the
sutfrages OF the inhabitants. This
was done in the tace CT a forma
protest from the German consul
general, who represented one Of
three nations responsible for the
government Of the Samoan Islands.
The Br 'ish and American war
ships poured a steady rain of shells
into the villages occupied by the
"rebels." Any people who refuse
to accept the rule which the "An-
glo-Saxon" combination devises
for them are clas ed as rebels.
Under the protection of the guns
OF these warships Malietoa was
landed from the British cruiser
Porpoise, and was formally
crowned King OF the Samoan ISL
ands. AS we have stated on pre-
vious occasions, this young mon.
arch was educated by the English
missionaries. He is a Protestant,
and he is ready to do the will of
the British consul and the British
missionary agents. Ma aaia, on
the other hand, is a Catholic, and
therefore his elevation to the
throne would be a dangerous step
in the eyes OF the English and
American nations. 1t matters not to
Admiral Kautz and his Methodist
officer, William McKin-
ley, that Mataafa had a two-thirds
majority of the people. His re-
ligious belief was a fatal bar to his
and to the wishes Of the
people OF Samoa.
Additional evidence of the in
fluences at work in behalf Of NAL
ietoa has been furnished by Mr.. |
Henry Labouchere, editor Of Lon
don ZrNkk, in the columns OF that
paper.
He printed and warmly approves
a letter from Lloyd Osborne, for
mer United States Consul at Apia,
TO the effect that religion IS the es-
sential cause OF the difficulty.
The letter was written at Fun
chal, capital OF Madeira, on April |
3, and the writer says that the |
London Missionary SocietV's an
to M ltaafa as a Roman
is the whole cause Of the |
quarrel, Mr.. Osborne described |

views" and furthermore with

THE REVELATIONS OF Ole FIGARO, =,

The Paris Figey0 has been PUBLISHING
iorseveral days documents and evidence
which hitherto have not been known TO
the public. How the secret information
has been obtained is at present not
known The Figaro is to be prosecuted
for publishing the report, but denies
that it is a judicial document such as
cannot be legally before a trial.

Daih' Meas London, April S.
The Figaro has done a great service
to France by its resolute publication day
by day Of the. evidence taken before the
Grimm i Chamber. The conduct of the
Governmental suppressIng the facts was
inexcusabIe, for the country had a right
to know the truth. M. Dupuy is very
indignant, and talks about a prosecution
which must come to nothing. But Is
doubtful whether all the Premiar's col
leagues agree with HIM, and one OF them,
M. de FreyCinet, has even been cited as
the source Of the Figay0'S information.
However that may be, the authenticity
Of the report IS uuqueslionable, and has
not been denied. BY their just and fear
less ction the conductors of tine cele.
brated French journal have made it inn
possible for the affair to be gmothered
in silence NJ Mlzeau, the President OF
the Court, Is a vehement opponent of
revision and bitter enemy Of NJ Loew,
the President ol the Criminal Chamber.
He played into NJ Dupuy's hands, and
by groundless iusinuations against his
less partial colleagues prepared the way
ior the special law which transferred the
case to the fun Court. Ii the worthy
pair could have got a majority of Judges
to pronounce against Dreyfus, the evi.
dence would not have been released.
Apparently, it was for Drsylus to prove
first that he was innocent, and. secondly,
that he had not admitted his guilt. OF
all the witnesses whose deposiions have
hitherto been published, we like General
Roget's the esl He believes in the
culpabiity Of Dreyfls because Dreylus

Since the Drevfus case has been taken
In hand by the highest judicial tribunal
in France, we have been anxious as far
as possible to abstain from comment on

ietent. The revelations published bv
the Flgdy0 are in themselves Of a highly
interesting character, and throw much
light on the central issues Of the contro.
versy. They raise, in the FIRST place, a
question OF journalistic ethics on which
IL may be right to say a word. Ii is hard
to pass judgment upon the conduct Of
the Parislan journal from our English
point Of view, since the conditions of
newspaper enterprise in France are so
abs llutely different from those that
prevail in this country. The
Minister of War and military governor
Of Paris were cOgnizant OF all that went
on at the second trial Of Esterhazy. Ii
cannot be said that the evidence OF M.
Cavaignac vindicates in any way the
attitude Of the War Office authorities in
regard to the Esterhazy inquiry, while
it shows deciied bias against Dreyfus.
1t IS painful to see on what aimsy
grounds a person in the position of the
late Minister Of War strives to weave
everything he can patch together into
evidence Of the guilt of the accused.
But public opinion will apply its
own tests to the revelations irregularly
made by the Figaro, and perhaps the
General Staff will not have any reason,
IN the long run, to congratulate them.
selves on having fought of so long and.
for a time, so successfully a full dis.

guilt or innocence of Dreylus. y
We wish to guard
against anticipating the decision Of the
Court Of Cessation, or Of any tribunal to
which the issues may be Ielegsted by
that court, on material questions Of fact;
BUTT is permissible TO say that the proofs
Of Drey!us's alleged confessions as
furnished by NJ Cavaignac would not be
regarded as Of any appreciable value in
this country.
