Ex-MlNISTER BARRETT'S CHARGE
AGAINST SENATOR HoAR.

tho Filipino Revolution W.4 in Hong
Kong Whom tho Message Was Re-
CHICAGO. Jan. 15-John Barrett. ex-
United States minister to Siam, for the
first time publicly named Senator Hoar
at Lake Forest university as the United
States senator whose anti-expansion
speech was cabled to Hong Kong and
subsequently put into the hands of the
Filipino soldiers. causing. as Mr.. Bar
rett believed the open Instruction. It
appeared further from the ex-minister's
speech that the government has dis
covered privately the stages by which
the anti-eXpansion address reached
LuzOn.
In the course of his address, which
was on the general subject of tie
Philippines. the speaker, said it had
been discovered in the government in
vestigation that Senator Hoar's speech
was cabled in cipher and in fragments
to Paris where it was put together and
forwarded to Hong Kong. The message
included several thousand words and
the cost for Transmission was said to
have been $4,000 It interested the
government to know what friends the
Filipinos had at this time who were in
a position to send the message.
Sent to the Filipino Officers.

stairs in the hotel when I met the
president of the Hong Kong jrnta and
he had in his hand the long dispatch he
had just received. 1t gave large part
of Senator Hoar's speech in full and a
summary of the rest of it. asked the
president what he was going to do with
it, and he told me that he meant to
send it to the officers Of the army in the
Philippines. He was urged not to do
so, but he protested thar it had been
printed in the Unired States and was
public property.
-Four days after that speech had
been delivered it was in the hands Of
those who saw all opportunity to make
political capital Of it. The speech was
published ana distributed among the
soldiers and believe it was the culmi-
mating influence that brought about
the open ins'1rrection. This speech. you
must remember. was delivered before
there was an open insnrrection."
