pHILlppINE INDEPENDENCE.

President schurman, In an address
In Cooper Union Jan 20, on American
Ideals. discussed the Philippine ques-
t!oh, and strongly advocated that the
islands be given independence, as was
Cuba in due time,
The speaker took the view that the
real Philippine question now Is, what
to do with The spirit OF freedom and
independence Of which the Fliipinos are
animated he thought that but one
answer to that question was possible
He did not think the American people
would be divided on that question. but
that the Filiplnos would speedily be
granted independence. That he
said IS my solution or the great
Philippine problem which confronts US.
You must either coeree the Filipino
spirit Of liberty and independence, or
you must comply with IT, My PROPOSE
ton Is to comply with Il. I am comb
dent the American people are opposed
to coercion
We believe. too, that there WIN be no
divided opinion in this country on the
question OF giving complete independ-
ence 20 the Filipinos But there will be
different Ideas as TO whether this COM
plete Independence win be under the
American Tag or under Filipino en-
blem. TO some Il win appear that the
future Of the islanders would be bright
est under the dag that stands for all
thet Is beet and most advanced Of hui
man civilization. To these Il always
has been strange that American citizens
can refer 20 American rule as Co
efcion. slavery, oppression" etc. and
that they can compare it to Spanish
rule.
The fact Is that Rhen the Flllpinos

can rule Is. they viii probably clamor

THE VENEZUELA OUTLOOK.

A few days ago the Venezuelan altua-
tion appeared almost beyond the critic
ri stage From various capitals Of
Europe reports were sent out, that a
settlement was at hand. The blockade
IL was said was to be raised lmmedl'
ately, and thus one OF the greatest
dangers to peace was 10 be removed.
But the blockade has not been raised
yet. There is now hitch in the pro
ceedlngs. The allied powers demand
that they be treated as preferred cred
itors, ana that other powers having
claims against the country be made a
secondary consideration II seems that
unless this demand Is acceded to. the
negotiations viii be indefinitely pro-
longed, and the blockade continued
venezuela's answer to this new repre-
sentaiion will be awaited with consider
able interest.
The demand is OF course unjust and
may have been formulated for the very
purpose OF delaying final settlement
The claims Of France are certainly as
Just as those OF the cooperating pow.
ers and II would be singular for Vene-
guela TO refuse to treat France right,
because the French government did
not send gunboats to the Venezuelan
coast. France has acted the part o.
q true friend to Venezuela by not join
ing the coalition against her, and on
that recount she should certainly not
be set aside, when the final settlement
Of claims occurs This is perfectly
clear But possibly Venezuela VIII have
to give IN ON this point too, IN order
10 secure the withdrawal Of the block
aiding fleets and the restoration OF her
commerce.
The United States is not at present
party to the negotiations that are be-
,ng carried on, but such influence as
our government can properly exercise
"a the council Of nations ON this matter,
Should now be given, very emphalically,
in favor OF speedy settlement. 1t 10
not TO be denied that some OF tho
blookadlng officers have gone beyond
their rights. They have destroyed gun
boats and merchant ships, and attempt
ed 20 enter an inland sea, where they
had no business; they have bombarded
forts, apparently without provoeation
ond in violation OF the customs of war,
and killed peaceful villagers. How
much further may they 30, II the block

II Is reported from Havana that
German officers have made extensive
soundlngs In West Indian waters, and
even taken photographs of certain for
tincatlons. 1t isbuggested that this
really does not mean anything. since
the soundings were taken merely to
verify facts already known to all gov
ernments, II It were desired 10 test
the exact meaning Of such military
studies. II would not be a bad idea to
send some American officers TO make
scundings along the German coasts,
ana 20 photograph some German forts.
That would at once elicit the German
Interpretation of the exact meaning OF |
such studies.
