of Havana, the Democrats urging

a nOn-partisan commission that

provisions. 1t was submitted to
United States Senate and ratified

Bryan, all the way from Nebra
lent his aid, and by his influence
Democratic and Populistic senator
two-third vote was secured in

Under that treaty we purchased

government was entitled to indem1

Bryan tell us why we should pay
Spain S20.00O,0OO? If we were to
ceive nothing in compensation for
large a sum, did he not know W
he approved of the treaty and assis
in its ratification that the $4,000,
was in consideration for the islal
of Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Mr.. Bryan knew this and is now
favor OF turning the Philippine islal
over to Aguinaldo and the Tagals. v
can have confidence in his sagacity
ability, his own consistency or stat
manship?
Aguinaldo has been denounced as
traitor to his country-the SPAN
cortes declaring that he sold out
Spain as leader of the Tagal rebe
and had received one half the 70
hundred thousand dollars, which Spa
was to pay as the price of his treaC
cry. This was paid before CommodC
Dewey's attack and destruction OF t

was not with the Tagal army, /
in Hong Kong, China, waiting Git

fleet was destroyed, despairing
SPANS ability to pay him. he return
to Manila under the protection of I
United States flag and lost no til
in stirring up hatred in the Tai
army and a revolt OF the Filipir
against Americans and all foreigne
who, it was proclaimed should be /

Thank heaven this small AmeriC
force proved equal to the emergen
and the attack Of the Tagal army v
repulsed, the traitor discovering
late that he was dealing with a race
men accustomed to conquer-not
buy of their enemies.
We have this as a part OF the car
