THE PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN. The Capture of Bw<«olor the Heat Job Marked Oat for Oar Britve Boys la itko Orient. Manila, May 8.—To clear the Filipinos oat of Becolor, about five miles southwest of San Fernando, will be the next task of the Americans. The rebel general Mascnrdo has a force of 6,000 men there, well-armed and aos-eei-sed of plenty of ammunition. Tjis troops have never met American soldiers, and they think, according to reports carried to San Fernando, that they can “whip the whole lot.” 'Working- Uke Beavers. Bacolor is well intrenched, and ! thousands of natives are working like beavers digging trenches and carrying the dirt in baskets. The enemy uses his riflemen for fighting only, but compels the Bolomcn and Chinese, and even the women to labor incessantly. A Rebel Outpost. The rebels have an outpost about a mile beyond San Fernando with a trench that holds between 200 and 300 men. From that, point several volleys were fired last night upon the camp of the Twentieth Kansas regiment. Neither Maj.-Gen. MacArfhur or Maj.-Gen. Lawlon moved yesterday, although each reconnoitered the country in his vicinity for some miles from headquarters, developing the presence of small forces of the enemy.

American Line* Strengthened. In the vicinity of La Guna de Bay the lines of Gen. Ovenshine and Col. Wholly, who is commanding Gen. King’s brigade during the latter’s illj ness, have been materially strengthened and there is no danger in that direction. The armed steamers La Guna de Bay and Cavadonga, under Capt. Grant, have gone to Guargua, about •five miles southwest of Bac-olor, presumably to establish a base of supplied for the troops engaged in the northern campaign. A Significant Clmnjce. «• It is rumored that Mabini, president of the cabinet and minister of foreign affairs in the so-called Filipino government, who is a radical, is to be succeeded by Paterno, the framer of the Spanish treaty of 1896. This change is regarded as significant at the present juncture. Entry of San Fernando Unopposed. The entrance of the Americans into 1 San Fernando was entirely unopposed. The Filipinos, who expected the invaders to approach from the sea, had I that side of the iown strongly guard- ! ed, but there was only one line of trenches beyond San Tomas. Two batj talions of the Fifty-first Iowa regiment, which swam the river north of the city, were smartly peppered while in the water, but the rebels disappeared as soon as the Americana reached the shore. In the meantime the hospital squad had walked across the bridge into the city, supposing the Americans were there. They encountered no natives.. The few Spaniards and Filipinos who were left welcomed the Americans and opened their houses to them, Gen. MacArthur accepting entertainment at the hands of Senor Hizon, a sugar magnate. Little Sympathy' With Insurrection. If the inhabitants of the Sau Fernando region are to be believed there is little sympathy with the insurrection in that quarter. Before evacuating the city the rebels burned the church and the public buildings and looted the Chinese quarter. They drove many rich Filipinos, with their families, out of the city before them as well as hundreds of Chinese, to prevent them helping the Americans. They cut the throats of some. Majiy Chinese hid on rooftops or in cellars, and some escaped by cutting off their queues. There are 50 fresh graves in the churchyard. Full of Trendies and Pitfalls. The country beyond Calumpit is full of all sorts of ingenious tranches and pitfalls in the road with sharpened bamboo. Fortunately the Americans escaped the latter. In the swamps near San Tomas, where Gen. Wheaton’s troops did their hardest fighting—the men sinking to their waists in mudare many bodies of Filipinos;, smelling horribly.

The Army Enjoying U(e. The army is really enjoying life at San Fernandes which is the most picturesque and wealthy town the Americans have entered since the occupation of, Manila. It is largely built of stone, the river is close at hand and high hills almost surround it. Many sugar* factories indicate a .thriving industry in that respect,'and there are numerous fine residences. Gen. MacArthur’s permanentheadquarters is established in the best house in town. The troops are encamped around in the surburbs? and are beginning to think they may be quartered there during the wet season. Water Communication With Manila* After Bacolor has been cleared water communication with Manila may be established. * Troops Much Exhausted. The American troops are much exhausted by the campaign,, except the Iowa troops which are comparatively fresh. The regiments of the division average less-than 50 men to a company and all have a weatherworn appearance. Towed £oto Port. New York, May 8.—-The British steamer Inchilva, Capt. Davis, arrived yesterday from Bermuda in tow of the tug Underwriter. While the Unchilva was on the voyage from Barry to New . Orleans, On April 12, during heavy weather, she lost her propeller, and was drifting haplessly for 48 hours when the British steamer Kingstand hove in sight and towed her into Bermuda, a distance of 300 miles. Her owners sent the tug Underwriter to tow her to this port, where a new propeller will be shipped.

REBELS READY TO SURRENDER The ®»<1 of tlie War ta the PklUff* Plat** Bfllcted to be Clooo at Ham#. Washington, May 6.—The aurrendet of Aguinaldo is believed to be close at hand. Dispatches which, were received yesterday by the president foreshadow more clearly than any previous infor* mation the impending collapse of the Tagal rebellion. t These messages, for sufficient reasons were not made public. They re» luted to the negotiations in progress between the American commission and the representatives of the Filipinos. Publicity of their contents at this time would not be politic. But the state* ment is warranted that these latest ad* vices give the president increased con* fldnece that the continuance of the wax Is a matter of a very short time, per* haps not more than a day or two. The messages which inspired such strong hopes came from President Bchurman. They were the subject ot an immediate conference at the Whita House. In them the head of the commission told of the progress mads | with the Filipino representatives. ! It appears that while the American troops have been pushed forward, and while some sharp skirmishing has taken place, the negotiations for peace have been going on at the same time. The rebels asked for an armistice. Their request was refused. The for* ward movement continued. This, instead of breaking off nego tint ions, has seemed to increase the desire for peace. The Tagals are falling

back as tbe Americans advance, rneir resistance is nothing like what it was before they raised the white flag and sent to ask terms. Their spirit is ^broken. President Schurman, who has never been optimistic on the problem, cabled yesterday to the president the belief of the commission that Aguinaldo is ready to surrender. CAUSES SO APPREHENSION. The Authorities at Washington Hava Faith in the Ability of Oar Philippine Army. Washington, May 6.—The continued rebel demonstrations south of Manila arc causing no apprehension to war department officials, as the brigades cf Overshine and Hall are said to be am* pie for every emergency. Together they have about 1,600 men besides tha Ninth and Twelfth regular infantry, who have just arrived at Manila. Ovenshine’s brigade consists of tha Fourth and Fourteenth infantry regiments, First Washington, two battalions of the First Idaho, one battalion of theaFirst California and Dyer and Hawthorne’s batteries. Hall’s brigade consists of the Seventeenth infantry and the First Wyoming. Liiwton’i Important Work. In view of these sharp demonstrations to the south, the work/done by Lawton on his expedition to Laguna de Bay is receiving credit not heretofore accorded to it. One of the main results of the expedition was to destroy the small craft by which the rebels might have crossed the lake and moved north on the rear of MacArthur’a forces. Now they are hemmed in on a narrow strip of land between the lake and the ocean, unable to cross the lake, while the march is too long to circle the lake to the south. Thus the work of Lawton is holding MacArthur free from danger of an attack in foree *rom the rear. Becoming Short of Supplies. The report that the Filipinos were trying to break through the American lines is evidence to the war department that this force is becoming short of supplies. It is evidently Gen. Otis* intention to remain on the defensive 60 long as he can keep this force separate from the main body of Aguinaldo. May be Starved Into Submission. 'It is said Gen. Otis believes he can starve this southern army into submission. Malate is a suburb. of Manila near the bay. The other point mentioned in the dispatch, San Pedro Maeati, is between Manila and Laguna de Bay, and is one of the outposts which protects the waterworks. Casualties Reported.

AGAINST EXPANSION Economic Reasons for Discontinuance of War. Prof. .2. Lacrme Laaghlla Talks l'pi»a the ‘klUppIae Sltutlra at Chltago Aati-Kxpca-■i on Meeting. On the afternoon of Sunday, April 11, Central Music hall, Chicago, was the scene of a tumultuous demonstration against the ex isting state of affairs in the Philippine islands and the policy of the- aclminist mtion relating thereto. Many prominent speakers were present, among t tem being Prof. J. Laurence Laughlii, professor of political economy, whc said: **1 have great respect for those who ,dif- : fer from us r nd who believe that war and expansion are Just and wise. But | ** they have a right to their opinions, so we have to ours, and let us calmly give the grounds for our beliefs, knowing that the fairness and intelligence of the Amer•can people w 11 decide correctly between us. “We are not now concerned with the right or wrong of the original war with j Spain. That if past and gone. We are 1 not here to di cuss things which cannot be changed. There to here no need of words about hew we came by the PhilipI pines. We are there to-day as a fact. It Is also a fact that we are In Cuba—but, thank God, we are not distributing liberty ; to Cubans with rapid-fifing guns. Why i are we doing It in the Philinnlnes? Some

i one has blundered there, hence the useless i expiation by thousands of Innocent lives | and the consequent sorrow and loneliness 1b thousands of homes. “Have we gene to war only after exhausting all the arts of diplomacy and j conciliation? No, we have gone to war first, despising the arts of statesmanship. : That is why we demand that war should | cease until every device of peaceful nego- | tlatlon shall be tried and tried In vain. We went there with uplifted club, saying: j- ‘We bought you, you belong to us. Surrender outright or we will subjugate you.’ And then because they did just what our forefathers did at Lexington and Concord we sent more roops and killed more natives to satisfy our prestige before the world. How like a coward and a bully before a helpless child! Have we forgotten the attempt of Napoleon I. to conquer Toussatnt L’Overture with veteran bat- ; tallons which melted away before the fevers of HaytS? Will not the day come when Aguinaldo may diaim a niche in history alongside u’Qverture as the defender of his country? Trade Reasons Answered. "They tell us we must stay in the Philippines in order to obtain markets for our goods and to give us a base for our trade with China and the east. Nay, one expansive nature says: 'We must expand our trade even if it costs 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 lives!’ There you have merciless commercialism run rlct. Is it really true that America has become a soulless statistical machine to make profit by trade? Have we no bowels of compassion? Have we nothing left of tight, of justice, of honor? Are we ready to sell good Anglo-Saxon lives in an indefensible war of conquest for a mess of pottage? Cursed be the day when that oan be said of us! Now, even if we could gain trade and profit by such dishonor, there are not words enough in our vocabul&ry to express the abhorrence we should feel at such immorality. It is time to hear the voices of men of character ring clear and loud in protest against such a despicable policy. “But if it should prove that in return for a policy of conquest instead of humanity, of murderous- depopulation instead of peaceful negotiation, there would be no profits of trade to speak of, no expansion of trade that we might not have otherwise obtained without this enormous cost of money and life, then the men who have brought us into this pass ought to be shriveled by public indignation and disappear from public life. Increase Bevins at Home. "If we wish to increase our trade with the Philippines or any other nation we must look within, not without. Our ability to sell in competition with others depends upon the richness of our natural resources, the rkill and efficiency of our laborers, the organization of our industries, the invention and use of machinery, low cost of transportation by sea and land, a knowledge of foreign markets and adaptability to t ie customs and prejudices of our buyers. Why have the United States recently taken the lead of the world in the iron and steel trade? Because of the ! abundance and cheapness of our ores, the ! wonderful machinery by which it is loaded Into and^out of ships, the great capacity of new transports on our lakes, supplies of good coal, the new methods of coking by which the stroke is consumed, production In large quantities, skillful labor, scientific management and low cost of transportation.- The reason why the bridge over the Atbara in Hgypt for Gen. Kitchener was awarded to an American firm was because the above advantages allowed us to build it cheaper and more quickly than the best firms of Great Britain. It makes no difference to our trade who owns the Nile iif we can build the best bridge at the lowest cost, f Flag Follow# Trade. “They tell us, indeed, that trade follows the flag. It would be equally sensible to say that game follows the hunter or that the horse follows the cart. You may wave the flag until Its honored stripes have been worn Into tatters or you may cover the waters of Luzon with a new navy, but you will not Increase our trade one whit unless you have the economic advantages above enumeratod, and If we have them we will Inevitably have the trade with or without the army and navy. "When our ability to compete in foreign markets is

proved then there our trade will go, and later our protect ng flag will follow. “If, then, there is so little real gain to be. made out of the Philippine trade to whom would the expansion of our territory be profitable? It is quite clear that the great body cf our laboring men could not continue to live in that climate and that there is nr future there for them. They can have no lust of conquest, because from them are recruited the brave rank and*file who are always paying the cost of war with precious lives. Moreover, on them falls a heavy part of the expenditure for war and expansion. The hundreds of millions of do lars which the Philippine islands are costing us must be paid for by taxes on our shoes, our clothing, cur hats and on our tools of industry. If, then, the laboring class and the taxpayer must pay for this war. who gains? I answer: Only the few favored ones who may obtain public office or concessions for banks, special franchises tc build and operate street railways and other similar commercial privileges. That is, the workingmen and the taxpayer are to be impudently asked to oifer their lives and property that syndicates may have a. few more chances to fill theiir purses. How long will we go on patiently submitting to this exploitation of the country for the good of those who are Influential In politics? (Applause.) “Commercialism has sunk Its fang:: enough into our political life. It cannot go much farther without stirring the righteous Indignation of Justice-loving Americans. Too long has public office been given, not to selected fitness, but to service In advance of personal ambitions. Fortunes Fill the Senate. “Great fortunes, rather than great statesmanship, too often fill the aer ate. Arrogant wealth buys legislation, which should be as cheap for the frugal consumer an Car the powerful prod'

tip an appeal—which will be followed by a Jhout of approval from the American electorate—for equality in treatment of all, iioth rich and poor: and for justice to the weak, whether white or brown. ‘1 have shown that wo would have no more trade by owning: the Islands than we would have without them, since our success in foreign markets depends upon heme conditions; that fhe only commercial giins by conquest go to the few at the expanse of th<? workingman and the taxpayer: and that If we could buy more trade at the asperse of human life It would be immoral. ••They tell us that we must go on with the war until the Filipinos are thoroughly subjugated. It is as if a great bully slic.uld ba allowed to go on beating a child until the victim is helpless. No. I say. stay the blows! of war until we know that right aims the blow. You know, everyone kt jwa, that ir we were to say to the Filipinos lhat our llagr is there as a symbol of pr >tection, that we are there solely to insv e to them a free and independent govern nent war would cease instantly: not ant iher life would be sacrificed. But what 1st ally meant when it is said that the war isust go on until the natives are crushed, is : !Us: We insist upon assuming that we hr re a right,, if we please, to govern the P lippines in our way. against their will: >hat we will make them acknowledge tht ’ by force; hence go on with the war to i’iow that we are big and strong enough to I tree them to be governed against their loin ngs for freedom and independence. Fu her war :1s unnecessary except on the ass i naption t hat we have no intention to give »em an, independent government. “Approach the problem any * way you mayt It ever harks back to a que Ion whether p is our policy to subjugate r to frec> the islanders. We are opposed all furth er war because we are opposed 1: the subjugation of the people under a. foreign yoke; we propose a cessation of slaughter, because we believe that the Filipinos *are and of right ot^ght t b% free md Independent* under a protect!'! \ by the United States which will save I tem

fisom foreign aggression. “They tell us there is nothing now i be done., Is it nothing to change wai to peace? Is it nothing to stay the hor ible slaughter of natives? Is ft nothing to Uop the operations by which our brave |r How citlsens are killed by bullets and by c ually deadly disease? The assumption that the war is inevitable is gratuitous. ’ f we have not promised the natives a free and independent government try that at nee. That is the crux of the whole matter So, when they tell us there is nothing now to be done, I say the principal thin ; remains to be done—to assure the Pill inos as to the policy of the United Stai -s in regard to their liberty. When Burk< was thundering in the commons for the conciliation of the colonies King George held that nothing could be done until the A merican colonists were subdued. Had ving George granted us Jocal self-government there would have been no war of the revolution. There was a great deal that !Klng George might have done that he did not do. Indeed, there is a great deal for the United States to do, now and at once, in the Philippines, unless we wish to ^repeat the obstinacy of the house of Hanover? “They tell us we are disloyal if we do not agree with any and every policy of conquest which may be arranged for us ' by the government; that we should not ] Increase the difficulties of a bad situation; j that we should not shake the arm of the ! man when he is taking aim. If a loyal soldier saw a column of our army defiling down by mistake into the road which led i to disaster would he be more or less loyal if he held his peace and uttered no word of yearning? If I saw,my brother in an access of passion striking a child should I hold his arm to prevent the heavy blow which meant horrible and irremediable murder? Would I show more or less love and loyalty to him by withholding my dissuading voice, my preventing arm? Is it disloyal to keep our nation in the path of honor? We who love our country most wish most that Its flag shall be unstained. “The president of the United States declared at Atlanta December 15, 1898, that the ‘flag has been planted in two hemispheres, where it remains the symbol of liberty and law, of peace and progress. Who will withdraw from the people over whom it floats its protecting folds? Who will puli it down?’ In South Carolina officers of the United States are to-day seeking to convict those who shot down the wife? and young babe of the colored postmaster. The flag there protects those over whom it floats. In the Philippines we are not merely hounding colored natives with the bloodhounds of slavery days, but murdering them with rapid-firing guns—‘nigger hunting* it is grewsomely expressed. The flag there does not protect those over «whom it floats. It Is there the emblem of tyranny and butchery. Who will rescue the flag from such desecration? Why, who «flse but he who put it there? In the name of the humanity for whom we went to war we call upon him to save our flag from dishonor. The common sense of the people knows that the flag cannot be immediately withdrawn, but the moral sense of the people demands that so long as it remains there its protecting folds will provide for white and brown alike a free and independent government and assurance from outside aggression.” Policy Assailed la Resolutions.

Resolutions attacking the adminis* tration’s policy were adopted by the meeting as follows: “The frank expression of honest convictions upon great questions of public policy is vital tb the health and even to the preservation of representative government. Such expression is, therefore, the sacred duty of American citizens. “We hold that the policy known as imperialism is hostile to liberty and tends toward militarism, an evil from which it hasbeen our glory to be free. We regret that it is now necessary in the land of Washington^ and Lincoln to reaffirm that all men, of whatever race or color, are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We still maintain that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. We ins+st that the forcible subjugation of a purchased people is 'criminal aggression’ and open disloyalty to the distinctive principles of our government. * . “We honor our soldiers and sailors in the Philippine islands for their unquestioned bravery and we mourn with the whole nation for the American lives that have been sacrificed. Their duty was obedience to orders: our duty is diligent inquiry and fearless protest. We hold that our gov ernment created the conditions which have brought about the sacrifice. “We earnestly condemn the policy of th\ present national' administration in the Philippines. It is the spirit of *76 that our government is striving to extinguish in those islands: we denounce the attempt and demand its abandonment. We deplore and resent the slaughter of the Filipinos as a needless horror, a deep dishonor to our nation. “We protest against the extension of American empire by Spanish methods and demand the Immediate cessation of. the war against liberty begun by Spain and continued by us. We believe that a foolish pride is the chief obstacle to a speedy settlement of all difficulties. As Mr. Gladstone said to England: ‘We are strong enough ... to cast aside all considerations of false shame . . . walking in the plain and simple ways of right and justice.’ Our government should at onre announce to the Filipinos its purpose to grant them under proper guaranteqp of order the independence for which they have so long fought, and should see* by diplomatic methods to setui* this independence by the common consent of nations. It is to-day as true of the Filipinos as it was a year ago of the Cubans that they 'are and of right ought to be free and independent.’ ” Susan B. Anthony, although nerrlj 80 years old, announces that she will the international council oi attend women in X-oi.donnext June. i ■.{■■■
