II Congress had declared IT'S purpose To
give Independence TO the Tagai insur-
gents. The insurgents did not wait for
the action OF Congress. They assumed
the offensive, they opened fire on our
army. Those who assert our responsible
ity for the beginning OF the conflict have
forgotten that before the treaty was rati-
fled in the senate and while IL was be-
ing debated In that body and while the
Bacon resolution was under discussion
on Feb 4, 1899. the insurgents attacked
the American army, after being pre-
viously advised that the American forces
were under orders not TO fire upon them
except IN defence. The papers found in
the recently captured achives of the In
surgents demonstrate that this attack
had been carefully planned for weeks
before IL occurred Their unproyoked as
sault upon our soldiers at time when
the Senate was deliberating upon the
treaty shows that no action on our part
except surrender and abandonment would
have prevented the fighting and leaves no
doubt i'm any fair mind OF where the re-
sponsibiiity rests for the shedding OF Am
erican blood

murderers of our soldiers the agents of

liberty and order to the Philippines.

July /, 1896 The law OF March IA. 1900
authorized the refunding into 2 per cent
bonds of that part OF the public debt
represented by the 3 per cents. due in
1908. the 4 per cents. due in 1907. and the
8 per cents. due i'm 1904, aggregating SS40.-
100000 More than one-third OF the sum
OF these bonds was refunded in the first
three months after the passage of the act
and on Sept l. the sum had been in
creased more than $4,000. 900, making in
all $3.50, ,o5o. resulting in a net saving of
over &.31s520. The ordinary receipts Of
the government for the fiscal year 1900
were s7s,527,OsO in excess OF its expend-
itures.
While our receipts, both from customs
and internal revenue have been greatly
increased, our expenditures have ben
decreasing. Civil and miscellaneous ex-
penses for the fiscal years ending June

In 1879, while on the war account there
Is decrease OF more than, $95, ,0O0 900.
There were required sS,0c0Oo0 less to
support the navy this year than last,
and the expenditures on account of In
dians were nearly two and three-quar-
ters millions dollars less than i'm 1899
The only two items of increase i'm the
public expenses of 1900 over 1899 are
for pensions and interest on the public
debt. For 1899 we expended for pensions
slSs,39i,929, and for the fiscal year 1900
our payments on this account amounted
to Sl4O,S713l6. The net increase of inter-
est on the public debt OF 1900 over 1899
