result:
On the great qneetions now before the
people Mr. Reed has decided opinions,
and does not hesitate to express them.
He reatfirmed most emphatically yes-
terday his opposition to the imperial
istic' policy OF the administration. In
his opinion Dewey should have sailed
away from Manila after sinking Monte
JOS feet, leaving the government OF the
islands to the Filipinos. Cuba and Por-
to Rico, TOO, should be left to their
own devices. The present policy toward
Cuba he rgards tsa piece OF hypocrisy.
Mr.. Reed, like the late ex-President
Harrison, is an ardent friend Of the
Beers. Il sympathize with people on
earth, said he, "wbo are struggliog
for freedom" Asked whether he thought
the Fiiipinos capable Of self government,
