Tho m-osidont nrofuired a policy of

when there camo into tho possession of
the administration ovldoneo Inerlmlunt
ing United States citizens furthering
the sedition.

tho government, havo been trying not
only to aid Aguinaldo, but weaken thr

tho volunteers. Telegraph messages
from anti-expansionists, zealous to

party in power discredited. It is an
ignoble game, and we sincerely trust
it will bo unsuccessful. If the Aiucri
caus retire from their self-appointed
task, the great republic must take the
brand of 'coward' as well us tho brand
of 'Cain,' which Lowell declared it
to bo marked."

Extended conferences woro held on tho
