MR.. HOAR'S ADDRESS.
MAssAcHu iETTs SENATOR SPEAKS
on .iMPERlALlsM.o IS; !

Asuinaldo Eulosized and with HR Asso-
ciates Compared with the Rest Minds
Ever Produced in tho Asiatic Race.
Speech Occupies Over Three Hours and
Ii Listened to with Interest.
< WASHINGTON, April 18.-For more
than three hours Mr.. Hoar, the senior
senator from Massachusetts, occupied
the attention of the senate with
speech in opposition to the policy Of
perialism, " upon which he main
tanned this government had embarked.
As prepared the address was $4,000
words in length, but Mr.. Hoar omitted
much Of it owing to an incipient attack
Of the grippe from which he was suffer-
ing. He spoke for three hours and
while it was a tremendous strain on
him the more important passages of the
argument were delivered with force
and vigor.
The speech was brilliantly written,
was Illuminated with splendid rhetori-
cal figures and was rich with citations
from history. One of the notable parts
OF the address was the eulogy of Aguin-
aldo. Mr.. Hoar did not lken the insur-
gent leader to Washington, as has been
done heretofore, but to Kossuth, Dom
Paul Kruger, Nathan Hale and other
builders. of the church of liberty. In
statecraft he ikened Aguinaldo and his
associates in the leadership of the Fill
pinos to the best minds ever produced
in the Asiatic race-a race which
handed down to us the Scriptures Of
the Old and New Testaments, the
poetry of David, the eloquence of
. Isaiah, the wisdom Of Solomon end the
profound philosophy of Paul.
A Roll Call OF Statesmen.
One of the most effective parts of the
address was his fancied roll calling of
some of the distinguished statesmen of
the United States on the question of the
retention Of the Philippines. He began
with George Washington and closed
with William Mckinley, each in a SEN
tence giving the reason for his vote.
Every vote was in the negative except
that of Aaron Burr, who voted ''yes,"
and explained: "You are repeating my
buccaneering expedition down the Mis-
sissippi. lam to be vindicated at last.
When the name of William Mckinley
was called he replied: ''There has been
cloud before my vision for moment,
but I see clearly now; I go back to what
said two wears ago: sFOrcible annexa.
ton is criminal aggression; govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, not of some of
them, but all of them I will stand
with the fathers Of the republic. Twill
stand with the founders Of the Repub.
ican party. No."
The effect was dramatic, as Mr.. Hoar
pronounced his peroration the stiffness
in the chamber was intense. Applause
swept over the galleries, but it was
hushed quickly by the president pro
tempOre.

Impossible for Butler and Warren to Re-
tain Their Commands.
! LONDON, April 1S.-The government
has chosen this as the moment to pub
ish dispatch from Lord Roberts pro-
nouncing censure upon Sir Redvers
Butler and Sir Charles Warren, two of
his most important subordinate COM
manders. This dispatch, written Feb.
IL, has been in the hands of the war
Office five weeks. Just why it is pub.
ished now in the middle of the CAM
paign is incomprehensible, unless it is
understood that General Butler and
General Warren will ask to be relieved
of their commands.
The revelation of. their incapacity
must tend to undermine the confidence
Of the troops in their leadership. Lord
Roberts dispatches, with their en-
closures, is the great subject in the
London press. Whether the govern
ment has any special purpose or not in
publishing the dispatch, the way in
which it has been received will make it
most difficult to retain the censured
commanders in active service.

Commander Of the Forces in Natal Sharp
ly Criticized for the Blunders Of tho
Gampaign-Generalw Warren and Colonel
! Thornyoroft Come in for share-Be-
havior of Troops Gratifying Feature.
LONDON, April 18.-The war office
publishes in The Gazette a dispatch
from Lord Roberts, dated Feb. 10, sub
mitting General Buffers dispatches
describing the Spion Kop and other
operations from Jan. II to Jan. "a.
Lord Roberts deals severely with Cen
eral Warren and some others. Even
General Butler does not escape.
Lord Roberts complains that the plan
Of operations is not clearly described in
the dispatches, After sketching Gen.
eral Buller's intentions, as communi-
Gated to Sir Charles Warren who COM
manded the whole force, Lord Roberts
points out that General Warren seems
to have concluded, after consultation
with his officers, that the fanking
movement ordered by General Butler
wasimpracticable and therefore changed
the plan of advance as to necessitate the
capture and retention 81 Spion Kop.
Regarding the withdrawal from Spion
Kop, the retention of which had become
essential to the relief of Ladysmith,
Lord Roberts says:
Disagrees With Butler.
II regret to be unable to concur with
Butler in thinking Thornycroft exer-
cised wise discretion in ordering the
troops to retire."
After criticizing Colonel Thorny.
croft's assumption of responsibility and
authority as wholly inexcusable, and
scoring General Warren for neglect of
duty, Lord Roberts says:
"But whatever faults Warren may
have committed the failure must also
be attributed to the disinclination Of
the officer in supreme command to as.
sert his authority and see what he
thought best was done, and also to the
unwarrantable and needless assumption
of responsibility by q subordinate Off
cer."
The dispatch concludes: "The graft
flying feature Of these dispatches is the
admirable behavior of the troops
throughout the operation.
