"lint w hile we ahare in the joy that la

hi men, beloved by hit command and
rif-ictl by hi) aupetior olfli-eri, gave
hi life to hia country, with many other
o( bia coiuradn. Theuation aoirow with
the brreayed. The heroe died for their
country, and there is no nobler death.
"Our troop reprrwnte 1 the truth and
conscience, the purity and patriotism,
of their country. Whether in Cuba,
I'orto Hicoor toe I'hilippine,or at home
awaiting orders, thry did ther full duly,
Hint all sought the poat of greatet peril.
They never faltered. The Kigth army
corps in the Philippine have made a.
proud and exceptional record. I'rivil-
edfd to be in unit red out in April, when
the ratifications of the treaty of peace
were exchanged, they did not claim the
privilege, they declined it. They volun
tarily .remained in the service and de
clared their purpone to stay until their
places could be tilled by new levies, and
longer, if the government needed their
services, and they understood it was not
to be ramp or garrison, free from danger,
but on the battle-line, where exposure
and death confronted them, and where
both have exacted their victims.
They did not stack arun. They did
not lun away. They were not serving
the insurgents in the l'hilippinesor their
sympathisers at home. They had no
part or patience with the men, few in
number, happily, who would have re
joiced to have seen them lay down their
arms in the presence ol an enemy whom
they hail just emancipated from (-'punish
rule, and who should have been our
first friends. They furnished an exam
ple of devotion and suciitice which w ill
brighten the glorious record of American
valor.
They have secured, not aione the grat
itude of the government and the people,
but (or themselves and their descendants
an imperishable distinction. They may
not fully appreciate, and the country
may net, the heroism of their conduct
and its important aupporl to the govern
ment. I think I do and so I am here to
express it.
"The mighty army of volunteers and
regulars, numbering over 150 000, which
liift year responded to tho call of the
government with an alacrity without pre
cedent or parallel, by the terms of their
enlistment were to bo mustered out with
all of tho regulars, above 27,000 men,
when peaco with Sphin was effected.
Tciice brought us the Philippines by
treaty cession from Spain. Tbe senate
of the United States ratified the treaty.
Eery step taken was in obedience to
1 the requirements of tho legislation. It
became our territory and is ours as much
as tho Louisiana purchase or Texas or
' Alaska. A body of insurgents in no
sense representing the sentiment of the
people of the Islands disputed our lawful
authority and even before the ratification
of the treaty by the American senate,
were attacking tho very forces who fought
for and secured their freedom.
,,This was the situation in April, 1800,
the dale of tlie exchange of tho rut idea
tions with only 27,000 regulars subject
to tho unquestioned direction of the ex
ecutive, and they, for the most part, on
' duty in Cuba and Porto Rico, or invalid
i ed at home after their severe campaign
in the tropics. Even had they been
j available tt would have required months
to transport thorn to the Philippines.
Practically a new army had to be created,
These loyal volunteers in the Philippines
said : 'Wo will stay until the government
can organize an army at home and trans
port them to the t-eat of hostilities.
They did stay, cheerfully, uncomplain-
reaiitnd federal authority, ami who, wilb
force attacked the sovereignty of the
1,'nl'ed Ftatc in its newly acquired ter
ritory. "Without them then and there we
would Lavs been practically helpless on
land,. our flag would have had it first
stain and Ihe American name its first Ig
nominy. The brilliant victories of the
army and navy In the bay and the
city of Manila would have been won in
vain, ourohllgationi to civilization woold
ha remained temorarily unperformed,
chaos would have reigned, and whatever
government there would have been by
the will of one man and not by ths gov
erned.
"Who refused to sound the retreat?
Who stood in the breach when others
weakened? Who resisted the sugget
ion of Ihe unpatriotic that they should
come home? Let mi call tbe roll of the
' regiments and battalions that deserve to
be perpetuated in the nation's annals.
Their action was not a sudden iinpulsn
under excitement, but a deliberate de
termination to sustain, at the cost of life,
if need be, the honor of their government
and the authority of iti flag : First Cal
ifornia, California artillery, First Col
orado, Frit Idaho, Fif'y-first Iowa,
Twentieth Kansas,' Thirteenth Minn
esota, First Montana, First Nebraska,
First oit!i Dakota, Nevad cavalry,
Second Oregon, Tenth Pennsylvania,
Fiist South Dakota, First Tennessee,
Utah artillery, First Wash ington, First
Wyoming, Wyoming battery.
"To these must be added about, 4000
enlisted men of the regular army wt.o)
w ere entitled to their discharge under the
peace proclimation of April ll, 1899, the
greater portion of whom participated in
the engagements of tbe Eighth corps and
are still performing arduous duties in the
field.
"Nor must the navy be forgotten. Six
ty-five devoted sailors participated in the
engagement of May 1 in Manila bay
whoe term of service bad previously ex
pired, continuing on duty quite a year
after that action. For these men of the
army and navy we have only honor and
gratitude.
The world will never know the re-
stiaint of our soldiers their self control
under the most exasperating conditions.
j For weeks subjected to the insults and
duplicity of the insurgent leaders, they
preserved the status quo, remembering
that they w ere under an order from their
government to sacredly observe the terms
of the protocol in letter ami spirit and
avoid all conflict except in defense,
pending the negotiations of the treaty of
peace. They were not the aggressors.
They did not begin hostilities against
the insurgents ponding the ratification
of the trc-aty of peace in the senate, great
as was their justification, because their
orders from Washington forbade it. I
take all tbe responsibility for that direct
ion, Otis only executed orders of his gov
ernment, and the soldiers, under great
provocation to strike back, o!eyed.
"Until tbe treaty was ratified, we had
no authority beyond Manila city, bay
and harbor. We then had no other
title to defend, no authority beyond
that to maintain. Spain was still in pos
session of the remainder of ttie archipel-
With no blot, or stain upon your record.
the story of your nnsolflsh services to
country and to civilization will be to
men who take your places at the front
and on the firing line and to future gen
erations an example of patriotism an in
spiration to duty."

Transvaal Uo.eminont Will Maka n
forthor Concessions.
Lonoox. Aug. 2X Commenting cn
the declaration of President Kroger, of
the Transvaal government, to the effect
that the South African government
adhered to its latest offer, and would not
make any further concessions, ttie after
noon papers here unanimously draw at
tention to the increased seriousness of
the Transvaal situation, but at the tame
time they express uncertainty regarding
the nature of the concessions beyond
which Krugersays be will not go. No
official announcement has been male of
these, though they are generally under
stood to be a five-year franchise and in
creased Uitlander representation.
"If tiits is correct," the Globe says,
"It cannot De long belore diplomacy
iiaa to stand aside as if of no further
service."
The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Presi
dent Kruger's adherence to tbeee would
mean adherence to impossible conditions,
and, if so, the situation bas come to an
uly bead."
To whatever dispatch or condition
President Kruger's remark referred, it
has brought borne sharply tha keen
possibility of impending war against no
weak kneed adversary. It is said that
with recruits from over tbe borders, tbe
Transysal could have about 80,000 troopa
at its disposal, whereas tbe most ths
British could now throw on tbe frontier
would be 30,000, though, of coarse, this
number would be materially increased
within a month. Ttie British public ia
takiog intense interest in tbe prepara
tions of their own forces already in South
Africa.

ago. Spain had sued for peace. The
truce and treaty were not concluded.
The first blow was Bt ruck by the insur
gents. Our kindness was reciprocated
with cruelty, our mercy with a Mauser.
The flag of truce was invoked only to be
dishonoied. Our soldiers were shot
down when ministering to wounded
Filipinos. Our humanity was interpret
ed as weakness, our forbearance was
cowardice. They assailed our sovere
ignty, and there will be no useless par
ley, no pause until the insurrection is
suppressed and American authority ac
knowledged and established. Tbe mis
guided follow ere in rebellion have only
our charity and pity. As to the cruel
leaders who have needlessly sacrificed
the lives of thousands of their people, at
the cost of some of our best blood, for
the gratification of their own ambitious
designs, I will leave to others the uti
gracious task of justification ana eulocy
"Every one of the noblemen, regulars
and volunteers, Boldiers or reamen, who
thus signally served their country in it
extremity, deserves the special recogni
tion of congress, and it will be to tne an
unfeigned pleasure to recommend for
each of them a special medal of honor.
While we give you hail and greeting from
overflowing hearts, we do not forget the
brave men who remain and those who
have gone forward to take your places,
and those other brave men who have so
promptly volunteered, crowding each
other to go to the front to carry forward
to successful completion the work you
so nobly began. Our prayers go with
them, and more men and munitions if re
quired for tbe spoedy suppression of the
rebellion, the establishment of peace
and tranquility, and a government un
der the undisputed sovereignty of the
United States, a government which will
do justice to all, and at once encourage
the best efforts and aspirations of these
distant people, and the highest develop-
Seattle, Aug. 29. Representative,
McCleary, of Minnesota, a member of
the house committee on banking and
currency, who is visiting bere, said today:
"Several important questions will
come op at the next session of congress.
We will have the problem of the Philip
pines with us, and a recognition of the
fact that we are now a world power, and
will hereafter be consulted in matters
concerning the nations; also that we
are a greater nation, reaching out after
new commerce. This latter fact implies
to or three things. We must have the
best machinery ol commerce. We must
have a sufficient supply ol American
ship to carry all American goods, and
we must have such revision of our bank
ing system as will give us tbe proper in
struments to carry on this world-wide
commerce. The most important thing;
is to be able to buy a draft in New York,
1 Francisco or Seattle that would te
payable in Hong Kong without our hay
ing to pay tribute to the financial ex
change of London, We have more capi
tal in this country at the present day
than Great Britain ever had, yet we, as
a part of the whole world, must pay
tribute to her. I want to see New York
or some other American city the clearing-house
of the world, as it baa a right
to be.
"One great fault is in our banking
laws, which do not permit of the estab
lishment of any branch of a national
bank. This law should be repealed. It
is one essential factor in our develop
ment that our banking houses have
branches in all countries of the world.
Then we can carry on commerce wth tho
world as we shoal 1,"
