"Dear Sir Ia the press reports
yesterday Of your address at Tiptca,
Ind, in which you referred to the
overthrow of human slavery in tine
United States resulting from the sue
cess of the armies OF the onion you
are also reported as saying 10 that
connection
...We fought then for the adop
ton of a constitutional amendment
that provided that no mau could own

war is ended we have the Sulu treaty,
which recognizes slavery
Permit me to invite yoce attention
to the following extracts frcm the
letter of the secretary of war to MAJ
Gen Otis commanding the United
States forces 10 the Philippines,
under date of Oct 27, 1899:
:. The president instructs me to
advise you that the agreement signed

the United States, of the one part,
the sultan Of Jolo. the Data Rajah
Muda, the Dato A.ttik, the Datc Calbi
aud the Dato Joskanikin of the other
part is confirmed and approved, cub
iecs to the action of congress pro-
vided for iu that clause of the treaty
of peace between the United States
and Spain, which provides 'the civil
rights and the political status of the
native inhabitants Of the territory
hereby ceded to the United States
shall be determined by congress-
and with the understanding and
reservation, which should be distinct
" communicated to the sultan of
Jolo, that this agreement is not to be
deemed in auy way to authorize Or
give the consent of the United States
to the existeoce of slavery in the
Sulu archipelago, thing which is
made impossible by the 18th amend
ment TO the constitution Of the United
States
sIt is probably unnecessary to call
your attention to the fact that in the
absence of the approval of the presi.
