HALL GATHERING
FILIPINos WILL STILL FIGHT
Says Senior sixto Lopez, Formerly
Secretary to Gen. Emilio Agui-
naIdo, Who Was Speaker
of the Evening.

BOSTON, March 3O.-President McKin-
ley's administration was denounced and
Aguinaldo's name loudly applauded by
the large audience that listened to the
speakers at the anti-inperialist meeting
at Faneuil hall tonight. Col. Charles r.
Goldman presided. and upon the platform,
beside the speakers, were Edward At
kinson, Erving WinsloW, Moorfield
Storey, Robert Treat Paine Jr. and other
gentlemen of well-known antf-imperlaist
proclivities. The audience was very en-
thusiastic, and at times was wrought up
to a high pitch of excitement by the re-
marks of the speakers. Col. Goldman, IN
opening the meeting, made a forcible
address. At it's conclusion he presented
former Gov. George s. Boutwell,, who
strongly criticised the attitude of the ad-
mnistration toward the Filipinos.
Col Charles R. Goldman said, in part:
Think for a moment how easily we
might have had peace with the Philip
pine people. 1t was only to have said
to them when, with their efficient aid,
we mad taken Manila. we will treat you
as we promised. the Cubans The Fill
pinos would have believed our promise,
as the Cubans believed it, and they will
,believeiyus now, unless they hear too
much of the administration dealings
with Cuba. 49, .z.,
Former Gov Boutwell,, in part, said:
1--WE are asking the Filipinos to accept
our promises Of justice in government
and what is the character of the evil
dence that we offer in support OF our
promises? If the Filipinos shall hear
of our dealings . with Cuba they VIII
doubt our sincerity. We are now de-
handing concessions from Cuba that are
inconsistent with eur pledge of independ-
enCe and sovereignty, and the admins
tration is struggling to become a world
bower by alliances with the strong, as
in tbs case with China, and by usuIpa-
lions over the weak, as in Hawaii, Porto
Rico. Cuba and the Philippines.
