is in Singapore and the Singapore papers
make mention of the fact and publish
short interviews with him.
Advices by the Sheridan also state that
the American citizens have devised a new
scheme of dealing with the insurgents.
Every time an American commissary train
or convoy is attacked, or any of the peace
full natives are murdered and robbed. a
detail of good men is sent post haste after
the marauders. In nearly every case the
rebels have been badly punished. At Palisa
Pass where the natives had planned an
ambush for Captain Magee. Company III.
Twenty-ninth Infantry, fifteen men of the
same company were sent out. They ran
into another ambush and were attacked by
another force of twenty times their num-
Der. But the American fire was SO accu-
rate and continuous that the rebels could
not leave the brush. Sixty-five Fflipinos
surrendered to seven men.

The speeches in the Senate in support of
the Porto Rican tariff policy disclosed sew
eral different lines of defense. and some of
the arguments were conspicuously weak.
That there was very slender ground on
which to defend it is shown by the follow
ing extract from the report of the COM
mittee that introduced the bill with the
tariff amendment. This report was drafted
by Senator Foraker and submitted to the
Senate with the bill on Feb. 5. 1t said:
The bill as introduced provided for free
trade between the United States and Porto
Rico. This proposition was objected to on
various grounds. 1t was urged that, first,
Ii was in violation of the policy of protec-
ton; second. it was inimical to the inter
ests of the United States with which Porto
Rican products would come in competition
third. IL would be a precedent that would
have to be followed in other cases that
might hereafter arise where the COMPETE
ton resulting might be still more injurious
TO American interests. These were, at
least, the principal objections urged before
the committee. The committee carefully
considered all of them. with the result that
they do not regard the objections as well
taken.
After noticing these objections in order
and denying their force the report said the
committee had decided to incorporate the
tariff feature $50 as to provide revenues
for the island" Thus the report of the
committee itself restricted defense of the
measure to the necessity of providing reve-
nues for the island. Strictly speaking,
therefore all the arguments in favor of
protecting American labor for the short
period of two years. of establishing prece-
dent for the Philippines. etc., are outside
of the record.
