made to prevent accurate information
from reaching the people of the United
States and that it was a political
scheme to farther the candidacy of
President Mckinley for denomination.

founded the interests of the people of
the United States with the political de-
slres and ambitions of their punv pres

important than the rightful treatment
OF the F1lipinos. If any amendment is
to be made to the resolution" he said
1t ought to be made to read that the
information should be transmitted IN
