he says:

Cruelties of Conauerors.

BY the time he had concluded this
diversion Mr.. Tillman had the atten-
ton of all the senators present.
Cruelties of Conquerors.
Mr.. Tillman declared it was the his
tory of all conquering armies when
prosecuting such struggle as the
British pressed against the revolution
ary colonists and which is now being
carried on by the British in South
Africa, that they committed cruelties
and tramplcd upon all the obligations
of humanity.
And / would ask the majority
this chamber" he said, 'if in trying
force the Filpinos to accept our gov
ernment without Il promise they ar
not inviting the evaporation OF thl
natives and spirit Of perpetual in1
Surrection."
The effort to treat the Filipinos a
chattels, as cattle, he declared, wa
'damnable," and he charged the ma
iorlty side with being the real mum
derers of our troops in the Philip
pines"
But" he asserted shaking his fin
ger ut the Republican side, If we can
gag you and force down your throats Il
small dose of the principles which ac-
tuated the men of Massachusetts In
1776, we will have done our duty to
the country and to humanity
In brief colloquy with MIR. Burton
(Kansas). allusion was made to the
remark of Mr., Tillman yesterday about
the burning of negroes in Kansas. Mr..
Burton said that no one in Kansas
was proud of committing murder anu
Mr. TilIman retorted:
''They preferred TO murder them in
the Philippines"
Commenting upon the sedition laws
promulgated by the Philippine CON-
missison, Mr.. Tillman inquired of Mr..
Hoar whether the Springfield Republic
can, which he said was opposed to the
Republican "imperialiStic policy un-
der those laws would be permitted TO
be circulated in the Philippines.
"Whlle l decline to enter upon any
discussion of Massachusetts newspa-
pers," said Mr.. Hoar, II win say To
the senator, if he wants to know my
opinion of the commissions order, that
l think 1t is an abominable order"
In conclusion, Mr.. Tillman said the
pending Philippine tariff bill, as a
proposition 10 erect a tariff wall be-
tween the United States and another
part of the domestic territory, was Q
departure from every principle that
had brought this country to the pinna-
Gle of greatness and made it the eyno-
sure of the eyes of the world as the
land of the free and the home of the
brave.
