they do not recognize any rule or prin.
ciple OF civilized warfare.
Admitting some excesses, which are to
be deplored it is still true that as a
whole the American troops in the Phil.
ippines have behaved most creditably
and the sweeping charge made in the
letter of a Filipino enemy, which Petit
grew had read in the senate, is slandcr
which there is abundant evidence to
confute in the protection given to
numerous Filipino communities by
American soldiers. In an army Of
10000 men there will be some with
brutal passions and cruel propensities,
which they will manifest when there is
opportunity to do so, but most of the
American soldiers are not men of this
character, and no fair-minded person
will believe that the officers of our
army, who are intelligent and honorable
men, would knowingly permit or coun-
tenance the practices which the enemies
of the government charge against our
soldiers. Happily, Pettigrew's oppor'
tuity for defaming the American army
will soon be at an end.

RECRUITING FILIPINOS,

| The army bill authorizes the president
to raise 1900 Filipino troops and dis
tribute them as he pleases--in solid reg
iments, in companies, or In any other
way. In the opinion of Adjutant Gen.
cral Corbln the enlistment of Filipinos
will be good thing. He said the gov
| ernment never did a wiser stroke than
enllsting colored troops in the regular
army. 1T gave the colored citizen a
| chance to show his manhood and his
| patriotism and inspired him with a
sense of his active partnership with the
white citizen in the possession of n
country and a flag which they We're
| Jointly bound to defend" He thought
the same results would follow the en-
listment of the Filipino.
| There is no question as to the good
effect of enlisting the colored American
citizen and 1t would be well If more of
them were in the army, for they make
good soldiers. They are capable of be-
ing thoroughly disciplined and they
| have demonstrated their courage as
| fighters. 1t is by no means certain,
| however, that the Filipinos would prove
to be equally serviceable. The colored
American soldier is imbued with the
sentiment of patriotism; the Filipino
would not be. The former has rever-
once for the American flag; the latter
would not have, to any great degree.
The colored American soldier feels
national pride in his service; the Fill
pino would constantly have before him
the fact that he was fighting against his
own people. The enlistment of Filipinos
may be worth experimenting with, but
it may fairly be doubted whether the
result will be altogether satisfactory.

The acquisition by the great syndicate
that owns the reorganized Union Pacific
railway Of n controlling interest in the
Southern Pacific railroad marks an
epoch in the history of the railway

consummation of the original plan of a
national overland highway from the Mis-

San Francisco by rail and from San

and across the Pacific to the Orient by
steamship. 1t accomplishes what was
sought to be obtained by the Pacific
railroad acts through land-grant aid and
subsidy bonds. This would scarcely
have been possible except for the fore.

FUTURE RELATIONS WITH CUBA

From all accounts 1t appears to be tine
impression at Washington that the
question of paramount importance at
present is the future relations Of the
United States with Cuba. The cabinet
has given very serious consideration to
this subject and it is also receiving the
careful attention of members of con
gress, the fact being generally recog-
nized that it presents a problem involv-
Ing some difficulties that will not he
easily overcome.
According to what appears to be trust
worthy information, the discussion Of
this question at recent meeting Of the
cabinet resulted In the conclusion that
whatever form of government may be
established in the island the United
States must always exercise a restrain
ing influence over Cuba and its people.
1t Is stated that the cabinet was of the
opinion that inasmuch as the first duty
of the United States toward Cuba,
which consisted of the pacification and
restoration OF order on the island, has
| been performed, the problem now CON
fronting congress and the executive was
to establish the stable government re-
ferred TO In the Cuban resolutions
adopted nearly three years ago. Ii ia

tional relations, that its people must not

warfare, for conflict at the very doors
of this country necessarily would prove
detrimental to American interests, and
that the United States must be in a
position to prevent the island from be-
coming involved in foreign entangle-
ments.
1t is perfectly obvious that this Is
going to be matter of no little delicacy
and difficulty. The pledge of the United
States to Cuba is of n nature that ad'
mits of no misunderstanding. 1t is
perfectly explicit. 1t means that the
Cuban people shall have absolute inde
pendence and there appears TO be nc
doubt that majority of them will in
sist that the promise be fulfilled, They
have declined to make any stipulation
in their constitution In regard to the re
lations to exist hereafter between the
United States and Cuba, Shall this gov
ernment undertake to insist upon sucl
stipulation being embraced in the
Cuban constitution? That Is the ques
tion that will be presented when thai
instrument is sent TO Washington to b,
considered by our government and It Il

DEFAMiyG AMERICAN SOLDIERS,


In the closing debate on the army re-
organization bill in the senate Mr.. Petit.
grew again took occasion to make state
ments defamatory of the American SOL
diers in the Philippines. He cited as
authority Filipino governor of one of
the provinces, who charged that the
American troops had inflicted severer
tortures on the Filipinos than did the
Spaniards. In the letter which the
South Dakota senator had read II was
alleged that robbery, pillage, violation
and murder are the first proofs of pro-
lection we receive when the American
soldiers enter Filipino community"
With characteristic audacity Pettigrew
declared that these charges were con-
firmed by American soldiers themselves.
That excesses have been committed by
our troops in the Philippines must be
admitted, but they have not been so
common and general as to Justify the
sweeping and unqualified charge made
by Pettigrew, on the authority of an
enemy of the United States, and it Is
utterly discreditable to that senator that
he made such statement where it be-
comes of permanent record. 1t is note
worthy that he has never, in all the
diatribes he has uttered against the
policy of the government in the Philip
pines, had anything to say in depreciation
of the brutal cruelties and barbaritles
of which the Filipinos have been guilty
in their treatment of American soldiers.
A recent letter from Manila to the New
York Evening Post said: "a spirit of
bitterness has crept into the rank and
file of the army in the Philippines be-
cause of the policy which permits Amer
lean soldiers to be murdered in the most
dastardly manner and the murderers re-
main at large. From the south come
frequent stories Of our men having been
captured in twos and threes and buried
alive, Tongues have been cut out and
all manner of barbarous cruelties prac-
ticed on ambushed and captured Ameri.
can soldiers" Such facts have no
weight with Filipino sympathizers like
Pettlgrew, but they eagerly seize upon
and magnify and eXaggerate every
charge of cruelty or brutality made
against American soldiers, even when
coming from the enemies of this gov.
ernment. 1t is nothing TO these apollo.
