Five years ago we were selling govern
ment bonds bearing as high as five per
them with bond at par bearing two per
cent interest. We are selling our surplus
products and lending our surplus money
to Europe. One result OF our selling to
other nations so much more than we
have bought from them during the past
three years is a radical improvement OF
our financial relations. The great amounts
OF capital which have been borrowed of
Europe for our rapid, material develop
ment have remained a constant drain up
on our resources for interest and d1vi-
dends and made our money markets IL
able to constant disturban ces by calls for
payment or heavy sales of our securities

occurred abroad We have now been pay

THE PHILIPPINES.
Review Of Events Leading Up TO Pres
ent Conditions.

For the sake of full and intelligent un-
derstanding Of the Philippine question,
and to give to the people authentic infor-
nation of the acts and aims of the Ad-
ministration, / present at some length
the events of Importance leading up TO
the present situation. The purposes Of
the Executive are best revealed and can
best be judged by what he has done and
is doing. 1T VIII be seen that the power
of the government has been used Tor the
liberty, the peace and the prosperity of
the Philippine peoples, and that force
has been employed only against force
which stood IN the way Of the realization
of these ends.
On the 25th day of April, 1898, Con-
gress declared that a state of war existed
between Spain and the United States.
On May 1, 1888, Admiral Dewey des-
troyed the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay.
On May 49, 1898, Major General Merritt,
u. 5. A, was placed III command Of th9
military expedition to Manila, and di-
rected among other things to immediate
ly publish a proclamation declaring that
we come not TO make war upon the peo-
pie of the Philippines nor upon any part
or fraction among them, but TO protect
them In their homes, IN their employ
ments, and IN their personal and relig-
ious rights .AiI persons who, either by
active AID or by honest submission CO.
operate with the United States in its
efforts to give effect to this benefcent
purpose, VIII receive the reward Of It's
support and protection"
On July g. 1898, the Spanish fleet in
a tempting to escape from Santiago Har-
Dor, was destroyed by the American feet,
and on July II, 1898, the Spanish garri-
son in the city of Santiago surrendered
to the Commander OF the American
forces.
Following these brilliant Victories on
the 18th day of August, 1893, upon the
initiative of Spain, hostillties were sus-
pended, and a protocol was signed with
view TO arranging terms Of peace be-
tween the two governments. In pursu-
ance thereof | appointed as commission.
