SENATE.
Washington, May 22.-In the senate
today the consideration Of the Philip
pine government bill was resumed.
Hoar addressed the senate In opposi-
ton to the policy of the administration
in the Philippines.
Hoar maintained that this country is
not at war. "You are fighting for sover-
eighty" he said. "You are fighting for
the principle Of eternal dominion over
that people and that is the question at
issue In this conflict" He said he was
to discuss one of the most wicked and
foolish chapters Of history yet he was
compelled to admit that the men who
are responsible for It, were neither
wicked nor foolish. The present policy
OF the government is In contradiction of
the Monroe doctrine as 1t was a contra
diction of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. He compared the situation of
Cuba with that OF the Philippines. The
government had erected a republic in
Cuba and despotism In the Philip
pines. Six hundred millions Of the
treasury and ten thousand lives were
sacrificed in the endeavor. Referring |
to the cruelties In the Philippines, Hoar !
said he believed that the American SOL
diers are as brave and humane as any
soldiers that ever lived. They done
simply what always would be done in
like conditions. The chief guilt lies up
on the heads of those who created these
conditions. OF the horrors which
have occurred in the Philippines, he
said: II hope and believe they were un-
known to the war department I know
they were unknown to President Roose-
velt and President Mckinley"
He demanded of the administration
to declare on what eternal principle 1t
would act in the Philippines.
There were manifestations of ap-
plause on the floor Of the senate and
the galleries when Hoar concluded.
