The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-06-23

The United States cannot be reck-
oned among the powers bent upon the
partitioning of China in the present
crisis. This country has never coveted
Chinese territory. 1t asks for no more
than equality of rights with all other
nations in trade and Industry. Yet it
is deeply concerned in the present crisis.
If the legations are all destroyed the
American legation is gone, too. Ameri-
can property is as much in peril Of
destruction as that Of any other nation
ality. The lives Of Americans are no
more safe than those Of any other for
eigners; and it is necessary, as much
for this country as for any other. to
take prompt and vigorous steps for the
protection Of American lives and prop
erty so far as they still exist, and for
the exaction of full indemnity for all
that have fallen or shall fall prey to
the fury Of the mob. There is no long
er any time for arguing over the at
titude Of the Empress Dowager or Of
the imperial troops toward the Box
ers. The simple fact is, if the news
of today be confirmed. that either will
fully or negligently the Chinese gov
ernment has permitted these outrages,
and the only course the aggrieved ma
tions have is TO go in themselves with
a strong hand and restore order. infiiet
punishment and exact indemnity.

she pulled the bell at her front door,

broke. Mrs. sage fell backward down

sides suffering the dislocation of one Of
her arms. OF course. this wouldn't

seventh place. as at present. With that
end in view he directed his minister Of
marine, Admiral Won TTpitE. to intro
ducc into parliament a bin for the
immediate doubling in size of the Inn
perial navy. That measure was blt-
terly and stubbornly opposed, but at
last was substantially carried. Last
week It became law, and forthwith
the work OF increasing the German
navy to double It's present size and
more than double its present strength
win begin in a group Of shipyards
second in efficiency to none In the
world. This proceeding is, Of course,
generally regarded as an extension to
the sea OF that system Of militarism
which Germany has so long maintained
on land. and which indeed she origin
ally founded, No doubt the emperor
has an eye to those International con-
fiicts which have so long been proph-
esied, and which. with all our hopes
for peace. must always be regarded as
possible. He must be recreant to his
duty as head OF the German state il he
did not. In her last great war Ger
many was splendidly victorious on
land. but met With disaster at sea.
William II intends that II she shall
ever again engage in such a war her
sailors shall give as good an account
of themselves as her soldiers; and in
that he is quite right But that view
of the case. though important is only
partial. a nation is. apart from all
menaces Of war, naturally entitled to
have military marine proportlonate
in size 10 its mercantile marine.

END OF THE INsuRREcTIoN.

Dispatches from Manila to the war
department clearly indicate that the
Filipino insurrection has at last been
subdued and that Aguinaldo and his
deluded soldiers are anxious TO con-
clude terms Of peace with the United
states. At the Filipino congress held
at Manila the other day. the members
OF which represented the distinct re-
yolutionary element, the following
terms OF peace were agreed upon and
submitted to the United States repre-
sentatives on the island; as reported
in yesterdays Astorisn;
First-Amnesty.
second-Return by Americans to the
Fniplnos of conhscated property.
Third-Employment for the revOlu-
tiOnary generals in the navy and milf
tia when established.
Fourth-Appication of the Filipino
revenues to succor needy Filipino SOL
diers. a "A
Fifth-Guarantee to the Filipinos Of
exercise Of personal rights accorded to
Americans by their constitution.
sixth-Establishment of civil govern
ments at Manila and in the provinces.
seventh-Expulsion Of the friars.
There is a general belief among those
in touch with the administration that
few if any of the clauses win be SER
iously objected to by the authorities
at Washington. Indeed, it asks no more
in most respects than the administra-
tion announced its willingness to grant
from the outset
General Otis said some very inter-
esting things to an interviewer at Chi
cago a few days ago. While admit
ting that troops win be needed in the
Philippines for some time longer, he
declares ''the real war is over" and
the natives want peace. The reason
they have held out so long-some Of
them-is that they wanted to make the
best possible terms.
In what he says Of the natives look
ing for terms General Otis confirms
the impression Of those at home. for
it is evident that the ill-direeted in
dustry Of the Aguinaldoists at home is
largely responsible for the hope that
they will have their own way with
Bryan's advent to office He did not
particularize as to what they consid-
cred good terms. but there never was
any doubt but that the people Of the ISL
ands would have good treatment from
the United States. They can. perhaps,
hardly be blamed, in view OF lnelr
long experience with the treachery Of
Spain, for not understanding this at
FIRST, but they should have learned
something by this time. enough to
know that Americans are not Span
iards. Doubtless. too. they would. but
for the causes already cited. He has
put the liars at home to shame. They
have chosen to exaggerate the occas-
ional affairs with scattered groups of
banditti into formidable demonstra-
tions, and to make sneering comments
about the war"
But now that the Filiplnos have
practically decided to end the insur-
rection It is safe to say that they will
not be long left in doubt as to the in
tention and purpose Of the American
government in the Philippines, and that
the policy win be for their upbuiId-
ing and prosperity.
