Senators Hoar and Halo. William J.

Spaalsh Treachery a Sarprlse. This treachery of the Spaniards wss a sur prise to the President as well as to General Otis, and, while the General in his dispatches expressea tne Denei that he would-be compelled to take Hollo by force, his Instructions from Washington were positively sgatnst such a plan, because President McKinlev did not propose to give any excuse for Agulnaldo encouraging an uprising against th authority of this government. If the Insurgent leader has goce to Hollo to direct the resistance of the natives tne situation will have chana-ed.

mnA General Will be justified' under tbe President's orders in. demanding Immediate surrender and following a refusal with an attack, for ir there Is to be a fight with the Insurgents the President wants it to ha with th. leader of the revolution, that It may be ended in one engagement, and show the weakness of Agulnaldo in his own country.

Bryan believe, that men -so prominent in ue politics or this country represent a large public sentiment, and wield great influence in Washington. It is known that the. reports of AgoncHlo to the Hong Kong Junta have tn large, measure been responsible for the recent belligerent development of Agulnaldo.

This has warned the Catholic church that there can be bo protection for' that-church In the Philippines under Agulnaldo' control, and thla explains Mr: Cro- ker's interest In expansion, as it Is said that he is acting on the.

advice of Archbishop Cor-rigan and other Catholic prelates. The situation In the Philippines Is grave for the eame reason that the Cuban situation was grave before the war. But for the attitude of the peace at any price men last winter Premier Sagasta might have yielded to the demands of the United States, but the men who sought to weaken the power of this govern ment and its moral force In diplomacy by crying peace at any price precipitated war. and the men in America who are today proclaiming from the housetops that this government cannot govern. any people without their own consent Is one of the principal In spirations to those who are backing Agul naldo in his revolution, and encourajrtnsr few thousand Filipinos to claim to represent an tne seven, minions or people of various races who occupy the Philippines.
