follows:
Although trouble had been expected with Japan
by every reasoning inhabitant of the islands for
many months, the Government at Washington
apparently made no attempt whatever to strengthen
its position, and, the contrary, seemed rather
endeavorng to weaken it. As the whole world
knows there have been immense and costly fortl-
ficatons under progress of construction in the
islands for the last ten years. More than thirty
days ago, by official order work these defenses
was sunmarly stopped, the worknen discharged,
and the engineers ordered home. This was the first
act of treachery toward the Philippines.
Immediately following this ncomprehensible
action all vessels in waters surrounding the
islands and on the Pacific station were ordered to
ports in Europe where they rendezvoused in what
never be anything but neutral territory And
there they at this moment, thousands of miles

the Governor of the islands and the commanding

At ten O'Clock on the morning of May y cloud

consultation not confined to men of high rank

Contrary to the usual
form of proclamation, this

~ the President but by

who therefore jointly as
stunned the responsibility.
At first there was an in

more sober thought pre-

dictated that the admin

chance.
Foreign advices indi-
Gated that no attack might

length of time than ten
days; hence the respite OF
seven days seemed a rea-
