Navy would give them arms with which
to hight the Spanish army they would later
turn upon us, which they did murderous-
ly and without the shadow of cause or
justification. There may be those without
the means of full Information who believe
that we we're in alliance with the insur-
gents. and that we assured them that they
should have independence. To such let
me repeat the facts. On the 26th OF May,
1888, Admiral Dewey was instructed by me
TO make no alliance with any party or fac
tion in the Philippines that would incur
liability to mainta N their cause in the
future. and he replied under date of June
6, 1898: Have acted according to spirit
of Departments Instructions from the be-
ginning, and l have entered into no al
lance with the insurgents or with any
faction. This squadron can reduce the
defences of Manila at any moment, but II
is considered useless until the arrival of
sufficient United States forces to retain
possession" In the report of the first
Philippine Commission, submitted on No
vember ,, 1899, Admiral Dewey, one OF its
members said: "No alliance of any kind
was entered into with Aguinaldo, nor was
any promise of independence made to him
at any time .
Islanders the AcgressOts.
There has been no time since the de-
struction of the enemy's fleet when we
could or should have left the Philippine
Archipelago. After the Treaty OF Peace
was ratified no power but Congress could
surrender our sovereignty or ALLEVIATE q
foot of the territory thus acquired. The
Congress has not seen fit to do the one or
the other, and the President had no au-
ttority to do either il he had been so in
clinee. which he was not. So long as the
sovereignty remains in us 1t is the duty OF
the Executive, whoever he may be, to up
hold that sovereignty and II it be attacked
to suppress its assailants. Would our pU-
litical adversaries do less?
II has been asserted that there would
have been no fighting in the Philippines il
Congress had declared its purpose to give
independence to the TasaI insurgents. The
insurgents did not wait for the action OF
Congress. They assumed the offensive,
they opened fire on our army. Those who
assert our responsibility for the beginning
of the conflict have forgotten that before
the Treaty was ratified in the Senate and
while 1t was being debated in that body,
and while the Bacon resolution was under
discussion. on February 4. 1899. the insur-
gents attacked the American Army, after
being previously advised that the American
forces were under orders not to fire upon
them except in defence.

vast majority OF the population who well
come cur sovereignty against the design
ing minority, whose first demand after
the surrender of Manila by the Spanish
army was to enter the city that they
might loot it and destroy those not in
sympathy with their selfish and treach-
erous designs.
Nobody who Will avail himself Of the
facts will longer hold that there was any
alliance between our soldiers and the in

OUTLOOK is
NOT BRIGHT
SERIOUS HITCH IN CHINESE
AFFAIRS EXPECTED.
ENJOYS MAY NOT AGREE
Very Probable That Fresh Nepoti-
ations Will Have to Be
Entered Into.
ENJOYS MAY NOT AGREE

Washington, Nov. 2-The state de-
partment SO far has heard nothing
from Minister Conger respecting the
impasse reported to have been reached
by the foreign ministers yesterday al
Pek1n. In fact save a brief expression
respecting the insuficiency Of the pun
lshments proposed by the Chinese
government to be inflicted upon the
responsible leaders of fthe boxer move-
ment, Conger has not communicated
with the department for more than q
week. Without taking issue with
Conger respecting this matter Of pun
ishments, the state department has
earnestly advised him not to insist
upon impossible conditions in the me-
gotiations.
An interesting problem is suggested
by the possibility, which today is al
most a probability, that the ministers
representing the powers at Pekin can
not reach an agreement. If Russia,
France and the United States should
refuse to accept the German idea, as
seconded by the British representative,
very much would depend upon the
Japanese and even the lesser powers
represented at Pekin by ministers and
they might have a great power in
swaying the proceedings of the coun-
Gil. The impression seems to be if a
majority of the ministers, or, per-
haps, even n of the representatives
of a great power withholds assent to
the agreement then the whole under
taking falls and there must be either
fresh negotiations directly between
governments in an effort to
agree upon a new basis of action, or
the powers must proceed to deal with
the Chinese situation singly or in
groups, the latter contingency having
been provided for in the German-B Brit
ish agreement.

NOT A TRUE BILL.
Case Against 81. C. Bullard Dismissed by
q. s. Grand Jury.

The United States grand j1nry sit
ting at Butte returned as not true
bills the complaints made against H.
9. Billiard of Billings and Ben Shaw,
(colored,) Of Fort Custer, charged
with disposing of government proper
ty. Mr.. Billiard had been custodian
at Custer since the post was aband-
oned as a military garrison two years
ago and employed Shaw to look after
the property in his absence. Charges
of a grave character were made
against MI. Billiard several months
ago and pending Investigation he was
suspended from his position by the
war department.. Mr.. Billiard had
his preliminary hearing before young
'tgrafter" at the Crow Agency acting
in the capacity of a United States
commissioner and it is alleged that the
prospects of a few dollars in fees and
mileage to- the man before whom the
preliminary examination was held was
in the main the cause of Mr.. Billiard
being obliged to face a United States
grand jury.

WON'T BE MERGED.
The G. N. and N. P Will Simply Not
Fight Each Other.

A st. Paul paper in a
New York special that the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific systems
are not to be merged. The same ar
ticle admits that Mr., Hill is the larg-
est stakeholder of Northern Pacific,
and that with perhaps five other men
he could control both roads. Atten-
tion is then called to the fact that the
existing statutes of the northwestern
states expressly prohibit the CONSOLE
dation or the joint operation Of two
parallel and competing lines.
But, notwithstanding the statutory
limitations, the two roads will not be
allowed to 'tcut each others throats,'
nor jeopardize their respective reve-
nues by rate wars.

GERMANS FIND U L
Criticise United States for Not Agreeing
to Exorbitant Demands.

Berlin, Nov. 22-The press in gem
eral severely criticises the United
States for not agreeing to the demands
OF the other powers in China. The
Vossiche Zeitung, which claims the
Chinese are only induced by the
American attitude to remain obdurate,
says it would be impossible to aid
more e~ffectually the joint enemy of
western culture.
The Berliner Taggeblatt says the
Philippine question is causing the
United States a severe stomachache,
hence the shilly shally policy of the
Americans towards China.
