the fleet of torpedo boats of Admiral
Higginson's squadron left to keep an
eye the movements of the attack
ing feet.
It was early discovered that Com
mander Pi11sbury had secretly landed
some of his officers ashore to spy
upon the movements of the blue
squadron, and this served only to in
crease the perplexity of Admiral Hig-
ginson's position, and this reported
shore system of spying was one of the
things which led the admiral to estab-
Hsh the new signal station off Straits
Mouth point, and also to remove his
ships to a point just inside Thatcher's
island.
The battleship Kearsarge, Admiral
Higginson's flagship, and the two
other battleships, the Alabama and
the Massachusetts, were off Thatch-
er's island close to Rockport. The
scouts of the blue squadron put out tc
sea to engage in the work of trying to
locate the white squadron of the
enemy. Two torpedo boats were with
them.
The armored cruiser Brooklyn and
the cruiser Olympia were somewhere
to the north watching approaches to
Portsmouth and Portland, and ready
to respond to any news that the white
squadron was trying to enter one OF
these places The cruiser Montgom-
cry and the smaller vessels, including
all the other torpedo boatus. were
strung out along the coast.
Rain fell on the afternoon of the
second day, and when it ceased the
skies remained threatening. The

The defenders relied to some extent
on news of the invading feet being
brought by fishermen.

Who Won?

President Schurman said in his
Chautauqua address: 1.-The Filipinos
wanted religious liberty. personal
freedom. freedom of speech and other
bly,, and territorial home rule, and
these all have been conceded to
them By whom?
Mr.. Schurman strives to create the
impression that the bill for the civil
government of the Philippines was an
anti-imperfalistic measure, and that
in its passage the anti-imperialists
won What does he mean?
Does he mean that the men who
call themselves anti-imperfalists-th
Hoars, the Masons, and the Democrats
generally-who opposed the Philippine
bill, won a victory when they were
Outvoted in Congress? Does he mean
that the bill which granted the Filipi-
nos all they asked for, except indie
pendence, was framed by the anti
imperialist Republicans and Demo
Gratis in Congress, and that they COM
PEELED the regular Republicans and
the president to accept it? If not, who
are the anti-imperialists who won?
The Philippine bill was from first
to last the work of Republicans. There
We're differences of opinion, some Re
publican leaders favoring the recon-
mendations of Governor Taft and
others dissenting, but the differences
were harmonized and the bill was
passed by Republican votes.
In the Senate the speeches against
the bill were made by Democrats and
the anti-imperialist Republicans
Foar, Mason and Wellington Forty
seven senators voted for the bill, all
Republicans except one-McLaurin OF
South Carolina Thirty senators
voted against the bill, all Democrats
except Hoar, Mason and Wellington
who cIassed themselves as anti-im
perialists.
In the House all the speeches
against the bill were made by Demo
| Gratis, and all the speeches in favor OF
it by Republicans. On the passage OF
| the bill 141 representatives. all Re
publicans, voted yes, and ninety-seven
| all Democrats, voted no.
| The bill framed by Republicans
! passed by Republican votes ane
! agreed to by Republicans of the two
/ houses in conference, went to the
| president, the foremost advocate OF
! expansion, in all the country, and was
signed by him.
Therefore Mr.. Schurman mus
mean that the ttanti-imperialists'' wEe
| sionists won over the '.anti-imperial
| lists" who have from the first opposed
to the retention of the Philippines
/ and who have intrigued and worked
| against American control of the
| islands.
! In other words, Republican policy
| not imperialistic, but distinctly ant
/ robust1y American-has triumphed
| and has given the Fi1ipinos all they
| asked for, just as Republicans claimed
| it would in 1899 and 1900

When a wanderer in far lands wrote
"There is no place like home" be was
voicing the instinct of the human
heart. The longing for home Is mex
pressible; it strives to find expression
in song or in tears, but nothing is
adequate When there comes to the
mind the picture of home, its familiar
scenes and beloved faces, nothing can
satisfy. the child away from parents
becomes actually i'll. The grown up
person, too strong to yield physically,
is given to melancholy and nothing
seems bright.
Americans in the Philippines are

unable to get it. Occasionally a
transport arrives and the papers and
information it carries spreads slowly |

behind. Now they are trying to ar
