AGAIN THE PHILIPPINES.
Democrats So Badly in Need of an Is
sue Are Harking Back to An
ti-Imperialism.

The anti-imperialists have girded I'D
their loins for a fresh onslaught on the
foes of liberty, says the Washington Star.
They are preparing to ask of each of the
great parties an expression in its plat
form in favor of the ultimate national
independence" of the Philippine islands.
The party complying with the request
Will, we may suppose, receive the anti
imperialist vote. But suppose both par
ties deny the request? Well the lovers
of liberty in that case flock together and
put up ticket of their own on a platform
embodying their desired wish? VIII they
say to the old parties; "As you refuse us
liberty for the Filipinos, we will give
you death al the polls?"
Before they knew our purposes and our
ability to serve them many of the Fill
plnoS insisted upon a government of
their own. Their experience under Spain
had been SO bitter they were quick to dis
trust the new authority and particularly
as 1t was being denounced in certain
quarters here in the United States The
speeches of Mr., Hoar and others in con-
gress, and the double-leaded elouuence
of half a dozen American newspapers
famed the flames Of Filipino unrest and
made the American task all the more diff
ficult. AS Gen, Lawton pathetically and
truthfully put it just before falling
sacrifice himself, we helped for a time to
kill our own men.
To-day the Filipinos are better advised
They know both our might and our
right. They no longer distrust us. but
are yielding obedience to our authority
and appreciating the fruits of our labors
for them. There is no demand from
them for immediate settlement of the
question Of the date of the cessation of
our stay in the islands. The wisest of
their leaders are convinced that their
country under American sovereignty has
the promise of development and pros
perity, and they accordingly desire con-
tinued American occupation and control.
All is going better with them and theirs
than they had ever hoped for.
Why then the renewal in the United
States at this time of this appeal for in
dependence for the Fflipinos? Those
people are not behind it, The best in
formed Americans. with Judge Taft at
their head are againstit. Affairs in that
part of the world are at present, and like
ly for some time to remain. in state of
violent agitation. The war between Rus
sia and Japan may overflow bounds and
shake the whole of the cast. Are the
anti-imperialists so sadly in need of
political issue that they are willing to
involve us in the turmoil of the orient?

a RUSSIAN DEFEHT

st. Petersburg, March 3O.-Gen.
Kuropatkin, in his first report to the
emperor from the scene of war, an
nounced that offensive land opera
tions had taken place against the
japanese on March IS, the sixth an
niyersary of the occupation of Port
Arthur by the Russians. These op-
erations took the form of a cavalry
attack by six companies of Cossacks,
led personally by Gen. Mishtchenkc
against four squadrons of japanese
cavalry which the general believed to
he beyond Chong-Ju, but which he
found in occupation of that town.
Despite a cross fire which Gen.
Mishtchenke directed against the
enemy, he pays a tribute to their
tenacity and bravery, the Japanese
only ceaSing to fire after combat
which lasted half an hour. Before
the Russians could follow up their
advantage three Japanese squadrons
galloped toward the town which two
of them succeeded in entering, while
the third was driven back in disor-
der, men and horses falling.
The fire maintained on the town
was so destructive that the japanese
were unable to make an effective re-
turn.
Further japanese rcinforcements
arrived an hour later and in view of
the superiority of the enemy
Misht"henke determined to retire.
doing so without embarrassment, al
though he carried with him three
killed and l6 wounded.
The skirmish Monday will have the
effect of encouraging the Russians
TO retard as much rs possible the adj
vance of the Japanese army.
Gen. Kuropatkin's dispatch report
ing Gen. Mishtchenkc's operations as
published does not give the place of
its origin, but it is presumed that the
commander-in-chief is either at Lao
Yang or en- route to New Chwang.
London. March 3O.-No japanese re-
port of the land operations in Korea
has yet been received here and there
is much speculation as to the size of
the opposing armies. regarding which
there is no reliable information.
