BATTLE WITH
THE WAVES
(Journal Special Service.) ' '
SAN FRANCISCO, May . -After being
driven a thousand miles out of her course
the Britlhh ship Westgata ha- arrived
from Newcastle, Australia. On the" 17th
last, when, wlthlu 750 miles of port, a
heavy northwester came up whicsf drove
her nearly a thousand miles to the south
ward. Ever since the vessel has been
fighting her way back, and It was only
at daybreak this morning that Captain
Neville picked np th Farallone. '
"We left Newcastle for Baa Francisco
3 days ago," said Captain Neville,, "with
ZOSt ton of coat It was one Of the most
uneventful voyage I ever made until
we were within 750 mile of Ban Fran
cisco We encountered nothing but, light
winds and calms all the way. but never
theless we made fair time. When about
750 mile from port the weather beanj
to get dirty. Still 2 thought w could
make our 'distance and run in through
the Gate before the storm broke. I was
mistaken. When within striking distance
of our destination the storm came down
and we had to 'bout ship and ran for
the open sea. In all the year I have
been to sea I never saw gale to equal
the one of-May 17 and U. Mountainous
sea broke aboard and the fchlp labored
so heavily that at times l tnougni sn
would roll the mast out of her. The
lower topsail and the' foresail both went,
out of the boltholes, kile a kite escaping
from Its anchor and for a time the ship
ran under bare pole. After two hours'
hard work, we got a goose-winged lower
topsail set, and under it th Westgat
rode out the storm. From that day to
this .we have had nothing but light
winds, calm and fogs."

HONOR NATION'S
(Continued from First Page.) ,
Is forbidden, and all harshness beyond
what la called for by newt Our enemies
la the Philippine have not merely vio
lated every rule of war, but have made
of the vloUUon their - only method
of carrying on the wart W would have
been Justified by Abraham' Llnooln' rule
of war la infinitely greater aeverlty than J
nas been- ahown. The fact really 1 that
out warfare In the Philippine ha been
carried on with singular humanity., . For
every act of cruelty by our men there
nave been Innumerable act of forbear
anee, magnanimity; and : generous kind
ness. -;. Theee are the ' qualities wbicr
have characterised the wa$.a a whole.
The cruelties have been wholly eaoep
tional, on our part.
Guilty to Be Punished.
The guilty are to be punished; but In
punishing them, let those who sit at ease
at home, who walk delicately and live la
the soft place of the earth, remember
also to do them common Justice. Let not
the effortless and the un tempted rail
over-much at strong men who with blood
and aweat tac .years of tell and day
and night of agony, and at need lay
down their lives W remote tropio jungle
to bring the llnt of civilisation into the
world' dark " plane. v The warfare that
ha extended th boundaries of t civilise
tion. at . the expense of barbarism and
eavagsryina been f or centurle -en of
the moat 'potent factor in th progress
of humanity., JTst from iU very nature It
ha alwaya and everywhere been- liable
to dark abuses. ,:-,''.''.,'-.
It behooves us to keep a vigilant watch
to prevent these abuse and tar punish
those. who commit them; but- If because
of them we flinch from finishing the task
on which we have entered, we show our
selves cravens and weakling, unworthy
of the aire from whose loin w sprang.
There were abuse and to spare In the
Civil War, Tonr false friend then called
Grant a "butcher" ami spoke of you who
are .listening to me as mercenaries, a
"Lincoln hirelings." Teur open foe
as in the .resolution passed by the Con
federate Congress in October, 1862 ac
cused you,, at great length, and with
much particularity, ' of "contemptuous
disregard of the usage of civilised war;1
of subjecting women and ' children . to
"banishment, imprisonment, and death;'
of "murder," of "rapine,', ef "outrage
on . women," of " lawless cruelty," , of
"perpetrating atrocities which Would be
disgraceful to savage;" and Abraham
Lincoln waa singled out for especial at-
tack because of his "spirit ef barbarous
ferocity." Verily, these men who thus
foully slandered you have their heirs to
day in thpse who traduce our armies in
the Philippine, who fix their eyes on In
dividual deeds of wrong so keenly that
atjast they become blind to the great
work of peace and freedom that ha al
ready been accomplished.
Objects of Warfare.
Peace and freedom are there two bet
ter objeots for which a soldier can, fight?
Well, these are precisely the objeots tot
which , our aoldler are fighting in th
Philippines. When there Is talk of the
cruelties Committed in the Philippine,
remember always that by far the greater
proportion of these cruelties havs been
committed by the Insurgent9 against their
own people a well a against our sol
diers and that not only the surest but
the only effectual way of stopping them
is by the progress of the American arms.
The victories of the American army have
been the really effective means of putting
a stop to cruelty in the Philippine.
Wherever these victories have been com
pleteand such is now the case through
out the greater part of the islandsall
cruelties have ceased, and the native is

pur .aoldler. eonauer;. and ..what la the
object for which they conquer? To estab
lish a military government? Mo. The
laws we are now endeavoring to enact
for th government of the Philippines
are to Increase the power and domain of
the civil at the expense ef tne military
authorities, and to render even more dif
ficult than In the past the chance ot op

secure peace, in order that it may Itself

The progress of the American arm
means the abolition of cruelty, the bruis

sponsible military rule. , We conquer to
bring just and responsible civil govern

Fighting Brings Freedom. ,
But our armies do more than bring
peace, do more than bring order. They
bring freedom. Remember alwaya that
the Independenoe of a tribe or a Com .
muntty may. and often does, have noth
ing whatever to do with the freedom of
the individual In that tribe or community
There are now in Asia and Africa scores
of despotic monarchies, each of which 1
Independent, and In no on of which I
ther th slightest vestige ef freedom for
the individual man. Scant indeed 1 th
gain te mankind from th "Independence"
of a blood-stained tyrant who rules over
abject and brutal lsed slaves. But great
Is ih gainst o humanity which fo'lowa th
steady though slow Introduction of the
orderly ; liberty, the' law-abiding freedom
of th individual, which la the only ur
foundation upon which national independ
ence can be built, wherever in the Phil
ippine the Insurrection has been definite
ly and finally put down, there the indl.
vidual Filipino already enjoys such free
dom,, such personal liberty, under our
rule, as he could never even dream of unJ
der the rule of an "independent" Agutn-
aldlan oligarchy.
The slowly-learned and difficult art of
elf -government, an art which our people
have taught thmelye by the labor of a"
thousand years, can net he grasped in a
day by a People only just emerging from
condition of life which our ancestor left
behind them m the aim years before his
tory dawned. We, believe that we can
rapidly teach the people of th Philippine
Island not only how to enjoy but hew to
make lroouse ef their freedom; and with
thelt growing knowledge their growth tn
elf-govsrnment shall keep Steady pace.
When they have thus shown their apac-t
Ity for real freedom by their power of
elf -government then, and net tfll then.

are to exist taaependntly ef si of be

Is that it would be put back an Immeas

counsels of unmanly' weakness and

our betrayed friends, and shed the blood
of the most humane, th most enlighten-..
ed, th most peaceful, the wisest and th

th classes who hav already learned te
welcome our rule.
'Our Oriental Destlrfy.
Nor, while fully acknowledging bur
duties to other, need we forget our duty
to our own country.' Th Pacific sea
board la as much to ua a tbr Atlantic;
a we grew In power and prosperity so
our Interest will grew In that farthest
West which . Is" the immemorial Bast.
Th shadow of our destiny ha already
reached to" th shores ot Asia- The might
of out people already loom large against
the world-horlxon; and It will loom aver
larger a th year go by. No statesman
has a rfght to neglect the Interests of
our people In the Pacific; interests which
are Important to all our people, but
which are of most Important tp those of
our people who have built populous and
thriving state on- th Western slop of
our continent
This should no more be a party que
tlon than the war for the Union should
have been a party question. At this mo.
meat the man in highest office In. th
Philippine Islands is th Vice-Oovernor,
General Luke Wright of Tennessee, who
gallantly wore the gray In the Civil War
and who is now working hand in hand
with the head of our Army In the Philip
pines, Adna Chaffee, who in th Civil
War gallantly wore the blue. Those twp,
and the men under them, from the North
and from the South, in civil life and In
military life, a teachers, a administra
tors, as soldier, ar laboring . mightily
for u who live at home. Her and ther
black sheep are to be found among them;
but taken as a whole they represent as
high a standard of public service as this
country has ever seen. They ar doing
a great work for civilisation, a great
work for the honor and the interest of
this Nation, and abovs all for , the 'wel
