the people Of the island are content, the

prove, and we have avoided pfecedents that

the problems that finally await US in the
establishment of our permanent relations

Cuban Policy md Frauds.
"The circumstances associated with our
possession of Cuba are new and unpsral-
leled in the history of eonqaests. The
sruelties practiced upon its people induced
the war. Before we commenced hostile
proceedings, however, and that the world
might know that our hands were clean
and that We were not animated by lust
for territory, we sOlemnly diSclaimed any
disposition or intention to exercise SOW
ereignty- jurisdiction, or control over the
island -(cept for its pacifcation. and as
serted CUR determination, when that was
accomplished, to leave the government
and control Of the island to its people.
To this declaration we still vigorously
adhere. And in this connection it is fit
ting to say that the peculatiOns and frauds
committed in Cuba by subordinate officials
have made every American blush with
shame, and until the last OF the guilty
men is arrested and convicted and sem
fenced, that shame viii know Lo abate-
ment II is no more to be charged 20
the party than would a theft by a trusted
employe be charged against the character
of the merchant who employed him. The
party that shields and protects dishonest
officials fc.ieits public ccaidence, not the
party that exposes and pUnishes them.
THAT this Government makes good the
loss is not enough. and perhaps the les
son has not been in vain it II shall serve
to stimulate US to even greater care in
dealing with these people for whom we
have poured out our blood and treasure,
and whom we hope some day to welcome
on terms of closest friendship as citizens
Of sister republic.
I'VE are dealing with Tuba in a spirit
not only Of fairness but OF generosity and
of absolute unselfishness. and whenever
the inhabitants of that island eyince and
declare their ability TO take over its gov
ernmeIt and control, that day they shall
receive II; and until then We shall con-
tinue tC administer its affairs under a
rule salUtary and satisfactory to all good
citizens in Cuba, and creditable to the
Administration al Washington. under
whose orders the government is con-
Quoted.
As to the Philippines.
Eve are told that the islands are rich in
wealth. and in the possibilities Of their fu-
ture development. So much the better.
But il they were as barren as the Libyan
desert, we would have taken them just the
same.
We haven't been there long. but long
enough to reach two conclusions: One is.
that the first thing We intend doing is 10
suppress the TagaI insurrection and TO es-
tablish law and order throughout the ar
chipelagO. That is the first thing we shall
do. And the last. the very last thing We
intend doing. is TO consider, even for a
moment. the question OF giving up or of
abandoning these islands.

It is learned from reliable sources that
400 Chinese were killed in the attack OF the
fleets on the forts at Taku. The fort COM
manders are said to have acted by instruc-
ton Of the Dowager Empress. The battle
was a desperate one for a long time. The
interpational forces lost twenty-One men
killed and had forty-seven wounded dur
ing the bombardment. Shells from the
Taku forts struck the foreign warships
many times and the Russian ship Mand-
shur was blown up during the fight. Six
teen Russians were killed and forty-five
severely wounded.
China is now practically at war with
the world. Every nation having interests
in the Empire is hurrying troops and
fighting vessels to her shores The an
nouneement that 5000 American troops
have been ordered to Taku from the Phil
ippines has caused general satisfaction
here.
The United States battleship Oregon has
also been ordered to that point.
