Heretofore have endeavored 10 fully

anti-imperialists If there are any
which l have not expressly alluded to
IL is not because they have been over
looked, but because they are Insignificant
or are answered by some general state
meut Of Law or Of fact Out Of these IN.
disputed or conseded facts there flow
certain oonseq based on prin-
oiples Of international law.
/ Az the com nenoement of the war,
aud as the time OF the defeat o. the
Spanish feet st Manila, Spain was the
supreme and sovereign authority in the
Philippines. She did not. and could
not, mr. any disposition of them after
the war began, which would have in
terfeIred with the American right OF
conquest Spain having been vanquish-
cd, gave up these possessions 10 the
conqueror. the United States. They
thus soame the property Of the United
States by double title, that Of con'

they were many or few. They passed

study the circumstances surrounding the

let him study the history OF Oali'

One of the most striking and @. lel
illustrations of this principle Of inter
