tacle cf an American army numbering over 7.V) men engaged In conquering a people struggling for independence. We have seen our hUhest court apparently forgetful that this Nation was established as h protest against the power of one people to tax permanently another people, declaring Congress exempt from the constitutional limitations upn the great central power of taxation, and thus opening the way for autocratic government and for the exploitation of subject peoples. We have seen our permanent standing army multiplied more than threefold and the expenses of our military establishments approach that of the most army-ridden nations of Europe. We have seen ourselves take a position highly Inconsistent In point of justice with the Monroe doctrine, when, demanding that the governments of the overcrowded eastern continent shall keep their hands oft from this hemisphere, we ourselves, with hundreds of millions of unttlled acres and vast untouched forests, seize at one stroke a. thousand islands in the other hemisphere. If four years ago a writer of burlesque ojera had put thse things In a play he would have stood aprt and alone in his profession as the consummate creator of impossible situations. ALLEGED SILLY FOLICY. 'I believe, as I have always believed, that when our commissioners set their hand to the treaty annexing the Philippine ls!and3 they inaugurated äs fatuous a policy as any act upon which a great nation ever embarked. It was a policy which has been followed by the destruction by us of tens of thousands of innocent , brown men who had never done us any harm and who were lured by our own glorious history to fight for their freedom, and Uieir homes. It was a policy, too, as a result of which thousands upon thousands of American soldiers will sleep their last sleep upon the banks of the Rio Grande and the Pasig. I know It is said that it will give us commerce. Our trade with those Islands appears to-day to have reached the magnliicent proportions of the trade of a corner grocery, but If It should promise to bring to thlä country all the wealth of the Islands I believe that our national honor, the preservation In their Integrity of republican Institutions, our future peace and safety, every dictate of Interest and Justice demand that we shall now so shape our steps that we may return again to the God of our fathers." After a few remarks by Mr. Greene In opposition to the bill Mr. MeClellan closed the debate for hU side. The acquisition cf the l'hllippine islands, he said, was the most costly plunge ever made by a reckless gambler at the Monte Carlo of international politics. "Your Justification for embarking this country upon a policy of colonialism,"-said he "was that it would open new markets for American products. And now, despite your solemn promise, you propose by this bill to close the markets of the Philippines to the people of the United States. As long as you keep up the bars of protection and forbid the Filipinos to trade with us, just so long will they remain our enemies. If they cannot pell to us they will not buy from us and if they cannot trade with us their sympathies will follow their Ink rests. If you tear down the barbarous restrictions of a protective tariff between different parts of our territory you will not only open new markets for American products, but by permitting the Filipinos to prosper you will have begun the work of pacification and of fitting them for self-government." DEBATE CLOSED BY D ALZ ELL. The debate was closed by Mr. Dalzell In a speech of an hour. lie drew a parallel between the government of the Louisiana territory immediately after its acquisition and the government of tho Philippines to show that the latter was less arbitrary and despotic than the former. He commended to those on the other side who were so zealous of the rights of the "little brown man" in the Philippines the protection of the rights ofthe black men in the South. "This measure purports to be a revenue 'bill." interrupted Mr. McDermott, of NewJersey. "Can he cite any act which ImXseu a duty upon gqrds from one Territory or State to another?" "Certainly," rentiert Mr. Dalzell, "If the gentleman will examine history he will lin.l that duties were levied for a long time on goods from Uie Territory of Louisiana and also of Florida." republican applause, followed try laughter, Mr. Mann, of Illinois, called out to Mr. McDermott, "Go 'way bock and sit down.' "I mean an act of Congress," persisted Mr. McDermott. "He cannot cite me to any act of Congress because there Is none." Mr. Dalzell declined to be interrupted

tirther. He taunted the othef slde with

their utter inability to present anything as a substitute for the pendln bill. He

ffald they desired to make their protest as ineffectual as possible. In conclusion he declared that to turn the islands over to the Filipinos would be to make them the prey of some buccaneer country; to put them up at auction would be dishonor. "Let us rather Indulge the belief and hope," said he, "that traveling along our traditional historic lines we shall go forward to the Christianizatlon and civilization of those islands of the sea until we shall establish there the principles of civil and religious liberty." Republican applause. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, moved to recommit the bill with the following Instructions: ."To report a bill reducing the tariff laws. and internal revenue laws now in force in other portions of the United States to a revenue basis; and to apply the Fame to all portions of the United States, Including the Philippine islands, to be in effect until order has been restored there and the Filipinos permitted, wltn the aid of the United States, to establish a stable and independent government." The motion to recommit was lost 123 to 172. It was a strict party vote so far as the Republicans were concerned, but there were three votes against the motion from the Democratic side, cast by Messrs. Brous?ard, Davey and. Robertson, all of Louisiana. Mr. Meyer was paired against the motion with Mr. Foster, of Illinois. The till was then passed 163 to 128. The thro? Democrats from Louisiana who voted ngalnst the motion -to recommit voted for the bill, and five Republicans McCall, Llttlefield. Heatwole. Eddy and Stevens, voted with the Democrats against it. At 4:40 p. m. the House adjourned. WEATHER FORECAST.

Island of Curacoa, Dec. 11 La Republica, the Venezuelan official organ of Caracas, published an editorial yesterday, ending as follows: "If the German governnu-nt Is informed that the presence of a few warships will suflice to effect an arrangement of her outstanding claims, It has been deceived. Venezuela Is conscious that Fht is an independent nation, the equal of the other powers, and she is determined to defend that independence and equality. She is desirous of peace, but If necessary she can cause hurt to her enemies and exercise terrible reprisals. General Castro Is determined on this. He will not suffer Venezuela to bo humiliated or allow her rights to be despised." Other Venezuelan papers com-, nient on the situation In a similar strain.

Led the Colombian LiliernI Forces at N'ombre lie Dion. COLON. Colombia, Dec. IS. A woman colonel, Senora Hamona Mtndoza, fought bravely with the insurgent forces In the conflicts between the Colombian government and rebel troops at Nombre de DIos last week. Her husband and brother were killed last Thursday. When the government troops drove the Insurgents from the trenches cn Friday Senora Mendoza escaped to San Bias In a small boat with Indians. Senora Mendoza has been an intrepid fighter during the last two Insurrections on the isthmus. She displayed gallantry in the recent battle at Uuena Vista. According to the latest advices the rebels are still offering resistance to the government near Nombre de Dios. Employes of the Caribbean Manganese Mining Company at Nombre de DIos have arrived in Colon. They feared their lives would be endangered by remaining at the former place. When the government reinforcements arrived in two sloops at Nombre de Dios last week a rebel force in small vessels endeavored to tret near enough to throw dynamite bombs on the government boats, but did not succeed, owing to the superiority of the latter craft in sailing. The Colombian gunboat General I'inzon returned here this morning from a cruise along the coast. After disembarking the troops she carried at Cocle she proceeded in the opposite direction, toward Porto Uello. riaya Dama and. Nombre de Dios. At the last-named point che embarked

thirty-five government soldiers, as well as the soldiers who were wounded In the engagement there last week between the Conservative and Liberal forces. These wounded have been landed at Colon. No government troops remain at Nombre de Dios. The government troops who fought in the Nombre de Dios engagement last Friday, and who were recruited In the Colombian province of Antloqula, are receiving praise for their bravery. Even small boys shouldered guns and went into battle after having performed a long, hard march across the country. General Alban Is getting ready to attack the Insurgents at Tumaco, on the Pacific coast of Colombia. He has made extensive preparations to this end. General Alban confirmed the reports of the purchase by Colombia of tho Chilean cruiser Presldente Pinto.

Lesion I Heine Urbanized for the Army of Argentina. BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 18. It Is rumored here that Chile will not agree to the proposed modification of her recent note to Argentina, as outlined in the recent communication from the Argentine government. The Nacion believes that If this Is true the situation will become more seriou. A Uruguay-an volunteer legion Is to be organized here. It will consist of two regiments of cavalry and three regiments of infantry. Dr. Araancio Alcorta, the Argentine minister of foreign affairs has had, a telegraphic communication from Senor Portela, minister of Argentina to Chile, who Is now at Santiago de Chile. Dr. Alcorta called on the President of Argentina, Gen. Julio A. Roca, three times to-day. It is asserted here that Chile will not relect the modification to the original

Chilean note suggested by Argentina, but that she will make certain objections thereto which will render necessary further conferences and discussions. It is conceded, however, this evening, that the objection from Chile sets forth that country's sincere desire to effect a peaceful settlement of the trouble. Senor Concha Subercaseaux. the Chilean minister to Argentina, and Senor Alcorta held a long conference lure to-day. The Tribuna denies the assertion that the negotiations will be concluded hre and says Senor Port-la has sutlu lently ample powers to effect a conclusion at Santiago de Chile. The Diaro publishes a telegram from Valparaiso to the effect that Chile has succeeded In concluding negotiations for the purchase of the Russian battleship Rctvizan, built by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company of Philadelphia, and that, further, Chile has obtained a formal promise from the builders of the cruiser and of the thrte tortKulo boat destroyers, which were bought the early part of this month, to deliver the vessels in question some time in January.

N., who nearly got into trouble with bis department through singing "Hoch, der Kaiser!" in the Union League Club one night Just after his ship, the Raleigh, had returned from Manila. Is now attached to the Brooklyn navy yard. It was only last week that the captain secured a photograph of the buttle of Manila Bay, which he had been on the track of for three years. What made his search the more disheart nlng was that It was on his own shio. the tirt of Dewey's fleet to arrive in this port, that the photograph was brought from the Philippines.

home, and several prints were made. They were the property of the loatswaln's mate, who had found th camera, and he meant to save one for his captain: but the demand was so great on arrival in New York harbor that they all disappeared. A copy was made for Captain Coghlan last week by a Brooklyn man who had visited the Rakish and struck up a friendship with the !oatswain's mate, and thus fecund the photograph intended for the commander.
