The movement began in the demand that
our Dingley tariff-as a matter OF right,
not of policy, for most of these people de-
nounce the tariff itself as barbarous-that
our Dingley tariff should, of necessity. be
extended TO Porto Rico as an integral part
of the United States. Following an assent
to this must have come inevitably all the
other rights and privileges belonging TO
citizenship, and then no power could pre-
vent the admission of the State OF Porto
Rico.

BOSTON, March 3.-whitelaw Reid,
member of the late Paris Peace Commits
sion, and DIR. Jacob G. Schurman, presi-
dent of the first commission to the Philip
pines were the guests and the principal
speakers at the meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Club in Youngs Hotel this after
noon. Representative Republican business
and professional men to the number of
seventy-five, including Ex-Governor VOL
colt and President Elmer Capen, of Tufts
College, were present. Mr.. Reid spoke at
length on the questions growing out OF the
Spanish-American war. Mr. Reid en-
phasized the point that the past cannot
be changed In this connection he said:
There is no use bewailing the war with
Spain. Nothing can undo it, and its re-
suits are upon US. There is no use arguing
that Dewey should have abandoned his
conquest He didn't. There is no use re-
GREETING the peace of Paris. For good or
for i'll, 1t is a part of the supreme law of
the land. There is no use begrudging the
twenty millions. They are paid. There Is
no use depreciating the islands east or
west. They are the property or the United
States by an immutabie title which, what
ever some of our own people say, the
whole civilized world recognizes and re-
spects. There is no talking about get
ting rid of them-giving them back TO
Spain or turning them over to Aguinaldo
or simply running away from them. Who
ever thinks that any one of these things
could be done or is still open [, profitable

The war, he continued, was begun with

After paying a tribute to the memory

The president further remarked that

Referring to correspondence between
South African presidents and Lord Sal

Not only We're these efforts made but

Gaberones, Bechuanaland, Merr.. oS.-
Colonel plumer, with a force of British
mounted infantry started on daring
march Sunday March rs, with the object
of threatening the Boer lines of commu
nication. After two rapid night marches
through the Transvaal territory, they ar
rived at dawn March 9th, within twelve
miles Of Zeernust and distinctly heard the
bombardment of Mafeking. Having re-
connoitered the country with the view Of
future operations without sighting sin
gle white man, Colonel Plumer crossed
the railroad south of Lohatsi which he
found in his possession of Boer force
and returned. Then finding the railroad
hence damaged by General Snyman's
main force, he returned to the vicinity Of
Mafeking. Rumors reach here that re-
lief column is approaching Mafeking
from the south.

The British casualties are almost nil.
The Beers seem to be breaking up their
main laager westward but have taken up
an entrenched position on northward with
a view to preventing the approach of re-

Sayers has received the following Of
fetal report from Mayor Jones Of Gal
weston as to conditions there: as,
AFTER the fullest possible investiga-
ton here we feel justified in saying to
you, and through you to the American
people, that no such disaster has over
taken any community or section in the
history of our country. The loss of life
Is appalling and cannot ever be &C
curately determined. 1t is estimated
at 5000 to 5000 people. There is not a
hcme in Galveston that has not been
injured while thousands have been de-
stroyed- The property loss represents
accumulat,ons of 60 years and more
millions than can be safely stated.
Under these conditions, with 10, 900 peo-
pie homeless and destitute. with the en-.
tire population under strain difficult
to realize, we appeal directly in the
hour of our great emergency to the
sympathy and aid of mankind"

Galveston has been exaggerated.
