tice in the Philippines has evidently been
very active during the past few months as
the latest mail from Manila has brought
over two hundred court-martial cases for

is on account of ordinary infractions of
the articles of war and the military regu-

call for any severe punishment. There are,
however. several serious cases in the lot
just received. including one capital Of

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.
They Hold Mckinley Responsible for
Criminal Aggression.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-The second
days session of the Eastern conference of
anti-imperialists was characterized by the
adoption of q strong resolution condemn
ing the expansion policy of the admins
tration. During the discussion President
Mckinley was severely critised and held
personally responsible for the criminal
aggression of the country" To-day's pro-
ceedings began with an executive meeting
oil the committee on resolutions, of which
Herbert WEIGH. of this city. is chairman.
The resolution drafted by this committee
was unanimously adopted with slight
amendments. 1t follows:
Whereas. The present administration.
under the lead of President Mckinley, has
undertaken to extend the sovereignty of
the United States over various tropical
islands. in no case with the consent of
their people. and in the Philippines by
force of arms and denies that the inhabi-
tants Of these islands have any constitu-
tional rights.
Resolved. That this policy violates the
principles on which our government rests
and not only subverts the liberty of these
islanders, but also endangers the perma-
hence OF free institutions in our own coun-
try.
Resolved. That we will support no man
for the presidency or for Congress who is
not known to be absolutely opposed TO this
poilcy, ana tnat We Will 90 our pest 10 de-
feat all candidates for either Office who
favor IL.
Resolved. That We require the execu-
tive committee of our national league to
call national convention at such time as
they think wise for the purpose of securing
united action by all who hold these views"
Several of the delegates objected TO the
use of President McKinley's name on the
ground that IL was unwise TO insert per-
sonalities in a, resolution of that nature.

responsibility for the war in the Philip

GOVERNMENT FOR FILIPINOs.
Jacob Schurman Explains What His
Commission Has Done

CHICAGO. Feb. 23.-President Jacob
Schurman. of Cornell University and for
mer head of the Philippine commission.
delivered an address before the students at
the Armour Institute to-day in which he
forecasted the report and recommendations
of the commission soon to be published at
Washington. President Schurman said he
had recommended to the President a gov
eminent and constitution for the Philip
pines identically the same as that framed
by educated Filipinos which is practically
the governmental policy outlined by Thorn
as Jefferson for the government of the vast
territory acquired by the Louisiana pur-
chase. President Schurman said. further.
he was happy to state that President Nc
kinley had accepted the recommendations
1.-THE newspapers have not given pub
licity to the fact that we are to give the
Fflipinos the very government they them
selves ask, but our government is now
striking off 1900 copies of the report that
IL may inform those who have been so So
icitous in regard to the kind of govern
ment their friends the Filipinos will obtain
from u.s."
Continuing. the speaker said that after
careful study of the island tribes he
became convinced that the plan of Great
Britain in her government of Malays-
signing peace pacts with the individual
chiefs OF the tribes-was the most satisfac-
tory one. The results upheld his opinion
for in the southern row of islands, where
this policy was followed, not a gun has
been fired and the American flag had been
held an honored emblem. This policy was
not adopted in regard to the middle island.
which is inhabited by the Visayan tribe
the largest of the group OF islands, because
of the fact that the most peculiar of civil
governments prevails there. The influence
of Spain, said President Schurman, per-
meates the entire country and its half mil
lion Of inhabitants. Owing to the domi-
nance of Spain during the many genera
lions that have passed chieftains have dis
appeared, and the great population is left
leaderless by the removal of Spanish rule.
There are no chiefs in this portion of the
country with whom the commissioners
could have begun negotiations to effect a
peace pact, but the great desire of the peo-
pie, said the speaker, is to come forward
and accept the government offered by
America as soon as the contest in the
island of Luzon is settled. Just now it
for the natives to make such a move, for
the Tagalos, having taken away their
arms, would come down from the north,
and in ambush assassinate many. 1t is
only this fear that keeps the Visayan tribe
from unanimously and voluntarily becom-
ing the active ally of the United States.
President Schurman said he did not make
this statement in regard to the government
of the Philippines in his address yesterday
because he did not deem 1t in keeping with
the celebration of the anniversary of
Washington inaSmuch as the govern
mental policy of Thomas jefferson is in
volved in its exposition.

Spani.h Map Was Defective.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Concerning the
concession to Spain of the islands of
Cayagan Sulu and Sibutu, the former in
the Sulu sea and the latter near the coast
of Borneo. and both outside the southern
and western boundary lines established by
the treaty of Paris, the Herald says: 1T
was intended by this government 10 take
all of the islands belonging to Spain. The
map used by the commissioners was of
Spanish origin and has since been proved
defective. Regret is expressed by naval
officers at the return of the islands. 1t is
not considered likely that Spain will re-
tain the small islands returned TO her. and
she will probably try to dispose OF them
perhaps to Germony.

POLICY OF UNITED STATES.
Proceeding on an Entirely lnde-
pendendent Line of Policy.
WILL MIND ITS OWN BUSINESS.

Washington, July 24.-President Nc
Kinley has received what purports to
be a direct appeal from the Chinese
imperial government to use his good
offices to extricate that government
from the difficult and dangerous posi-
ton in which it has been placed as a
result of the Boxer uprising and the
ensuing hostile action of the great
powers.
The United States government is
conscientiously proceeding upon an in
dependent line of policy in the treat
ment of the case. Unfortunately the
state department finds itself alone in
this, but nevertheless it is convinced
that its plan is the best, and it has be-
hind it the. consoling assurance that at
present all of the European govern
ments have tacitly admitted than an
error was made in the beginning in
not following the common sense ad-
vice of the United States naval COM
mander at Taku.
1t may be stated that the United
States government has not and does
not intend to reinquish any part of its
claim for compensation and reparation
in the ultimate settlement. It's posi-
ton in that respect, it holds, will not
be affected unfavorably by prosecuting
it's efforts to make use of the friendly
sentiments of the Chinese officials.
The administration is determined to
keep aloof from any movement that
would unnecessarily entangle the gov
eminent of the United States in Chi
nese affairs. 1t is the intention of the
administration to withdraw our forces,
military and naval, after the Ameri-
cans in Pekin have been relieved and
wash its hands of Chinese affairs. look
ing only TO the preservation of such
privileges as it has right to retain
for Americans.

DIscord Stories Overdone.

Washington, July 21.-In the alb
sence of direct news from China
attention was directed mainly to the
more or less speculative stories emana-
ting from European capitals indicative
of discord among the powers. It is
realized that these little ebullitions of
mutual suspicion always characterize
allied movements, and so are to be
expected in the present case. 1t can
be stated that so far as official record
discloses, there is absolutely no ground
for them. Russia, power more than
any other under suspicion in these
stories, has not been backward in
assuring the state department of the
coincidence of Secretary Hays declara-
ton with Russia's purpose in China.
