GENERAL OTIS
HEARD FURTHER
Continued Testimony Before the
Senate Philippine
Committee.
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTN, D. c., March 19-Gen-
eral Otis continued his testimony be-
fore the Senate Philippine Committee
to-day. Referring to his order of Sep
TENDER s, 1898, directing the withdrawal
OF the insurgent troops outside the de-
lenses of Manila, General Otis explained
that a commission from Aguinaldo's cab
met visited him. He classed as ridicul-
GUS Aguinaldo's request to receive a por-
ton of the northern part of Manila, oc-
cupied by the Spanards, in trade for some
Of the southern part of the city, held
by the insurgents.
General Otis said he did not give the
insurgents actual permission to occupy
the block houses. which Aguinaldo claim
ed had been given. What he had said
was, Il don't care anything about the
block houses; we are not going to take
possession of Them
General Otis said that Aguinaldo had
demanded of General Merritt the right
to occupy the palace and to make proc
lamations to the civil government, which
caused General Merritt to cable Wash
ington for instructions. The reply was
that there must be no occupation OF
Manila.
General Otis then detailed the cir
cumstances attending tho capture of
iloio, the offer of the Spanish general,
Rios, to hold the place against the in
| surgents pending the arrival Of United
| States troops and the capture of the
| town by the Vissayans before the arrival
of the United States troops. Aguinaldo.
| he said, was overjoyed when he learned
| that the detachment had been sent, but
because he (Aguinaldo) declared that the
| first shot would he fired at I1oila, which
would bring on war between the United
States and the insurgent forces.
| General Otis said he had cabled Wash
! ington saying that the taking Of Iloilo
| meant war in the islands and had re-
ceived the response to defer action which
he did until the insurgents made war
on the United States force In Manila.
| He had he said. issued his proclamation
! extending military authority to all parts
df the archipelago under Instructions
| from the President.
| Senator RaW7ins sought to show that
many of the things done by the United
States military authorities were in con-
travention of the protocol. but General
Otis said he felt it his duty to de-
fend lives and property. The committee
adjourned until ESQ P. NJ, in order to
permit General Otis to conclude his testi-
| mony to-day.

.ALDRlCH AGAINST
RECIPROCITY
Made Argument Opposed to Rati-
tlcatlon Of French Treaty.
CONGRESS TO HAVE A SAY.
amendment Will be Addsd Providing That
Treaties Shall Be lueif>c.ual Until
They Are Approved
by Congress.
fBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, u. c., March 19.-The
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
to-day listened to an argument by Sena-
tor Aldrich in Opposition to the ratifi-
cation of the French reciprocity treaty.
1t was expected that the Senator would
speak upon the general policy of entering
into reciprocal trade relations with
other countries under the provisions OF
the Dingley act, but he did not find time
to do that or to discuss any other Of the
treaties now pending before the COM
nittee.
He took q very positive position against
the French treaty. saying that in his
opinion 1t was pernicfous agreement
and calculated to work great injury. He
said that In making the concessions pro-
vided for in that treaty the United States
was securing only the low tariff rates f.f
France, which are Internationally
granted to other countries, and which
should be ours by right.
CONGRESS MUST APPROVE.
The committe did not act upon any of
the reciprocity treaties before it, but it
made plain the definition Of the policy
with reference to these treaties which
the committee has agreed upon. The
practical effect of this agreement is to
authorize the amendment Of each Of the
reciprocity treaties by adding the pro-
vision '"That this treaty shall not take
effect until the same shall have been
approved by Congress-"
The effect of this modification will be
to require that the House as well as the
Senate shall act upon each Of the trea-
ties.
In announcing it's decision the commit
tee says that it is entirely competent for
the Senate to so amend the treaties as to
require the approval Of both houses. but
it contends that this concession does not
in any way affect the prerogative of the
Senate as the only treaty-makins power
of the United States. For this preroGa-
tive the committee stands out stiffly.

not suffer by sncl. a concession.
Our tariff policy was conceived in sell
flsllncss. and necessarily its effect has
been to promote sclflshness in It's bene-
ficiaries. 1t has also had the effect 10
impair American manhood and inde-'
pendencc. For years and many years
our manufacturers depended upon 1t and
they did not exercise that prudence ana
economy in the art OF manufacturing
which enable the manufacturer to pro-
duce the best article at the lowest cost
Our manufacturers did not learn this
lesson until they were taught 1t several
years ago by the necessities OF the nara
times. They were then compelled 10
reduce the cost of production to the mill:
irn,,m. and by and by they discovered
that they were able to compete with tor-
e;e-n manufacturers in their own market.
We believe that the more independent
our manufacturers become of tariff ana
bounty and protection and all that me
better off they will .bc and the better OH
the country will be.
Reciprocity with Cuba is all right and
we hope that the measure which mas
been agreed upon in conference will be-
come law.

RE I.RuLlT. Wan ~U.iA.

In the conference of the Republican
members of the House OF Representatives
on Tuesday night the proposition of Chair
man PAYNE, OH the Ways and Means Com
,nittee, of 20 cent reduction Of duty on
Cuban imports was adopted.
This has been a hot contest. When we
undertook TO rescue Cuba from Spanish
rule we took responsibility upon our
selves which we have not been able to
shake off. Cuba is largely dependent
upon her sugar crop for a living and the
Cuban planters are dependent upon the
United States for market. They arc
practically excluded from the foreign
paid TO the producers Of beet sugar in
the old world. The Cuban planters do
not receive Government bounties, and
as the tariff in America is excessive they
are not able to sell their sugar at a profit
in this country. Indeed, it is said that
{ Il would bankrupt the Cuban planter TO-
market his sugar in the United States.
under existing conditions.
In view Of all this. the Cubans have
lsked for a reduction of so per cent in
The American tariff on their productions
and have agreed. in exchange, to give a
reciprocal reduction in Cuban duty upon
Imports into that island from the United
States. The consumption OF sugar in the
United States is SO great that the supply
Of raw sugar is by no means equal to
the demand. We are compelled to inn
port great deal OF raw sugar, and the
competition is between the cane sugar of
Cuba and the subsidized beet sugar OF
Europe. The competition. by reason OF
The bounty to- the Europeans, is disas-
trons to Cuba. and so in order to meet
It she must have a reduction in the
American tariff. She has proposed to
give suitable return for every conces-
sion that she may receive from US. The
opposition has come from the beet-sugar
interest, although the statement is made
that they have confessed that an sabate-

interest But those who enjoy Govern
