"Santiago day" wus celebrated today at the Greater Ameri can exposition. The guests of honor for the occasion weie Postmaster Geneial Charles i:morv Smith nnd Mujor Gon eral Joseph Wheelei. They weie both given a most enthusiastic reception by tho largo crowd In attendance. Mi. Smith, In the course of his speech, said: "This Intense nctivlty nt home, this unlveisal employment of laboi, this great and Inci easing prospeiity go on undisturbed, although we aie engaged In a serious conflict S,000 miles away. The contest in the Philippines has not affected our unparalleled industrial re vlval or our matchless piospeilty. In tiuth, the tremendous events of the past year have aided In awakening our domestic nctlvltles, for they have lifted the curtain nnd revealed now outlets for trade and commeice, and even this tioublo In the Philippines would not have come If the action of the govern ment had been left unhainpeied and unembairassed. Its success where It hnd ft oe hands was unlimited nnd uti denled. Its victory in the war with Spain stands unequalled. You will seaich the unnals of history In vain for .1 parallel to Its swiftness of execution and Its completeness of triumph It was as skillful In making peace us in waging war The treaty of Paris was also negotiated with cxtiaordlnaiy abllltj, piomptness and Judgment. "Up to that point theie was no Haw In the sweep of success. Had tho tieaty been promptly nnd unanimously iatt fied ns It ought to hae been, there would hae been no conflict. The treaty was sent to the sennte cnily In December. Then, and for nearly two months after that time, peace and ol der prevailed. There was no outbreak till Fohiuary. The soveielgnty of tin United States, established and leeog nl7ed by the treaty, was accepted But the manifestations of opposition In the senate Incited and emboldened opposi tion in the Philippines and the contest of nearly two months nt Washington cieated a new and unneccsniy contest around Manila. Duty of the Government. "When that contest .imo, the gov ernment had but ono couise and one duty. It was under obligation to sup pi es the Insurrection of the T.igals in Luzon just as much as It would bo to suppiess the tevolt of an Indian tilbe In Idnho or Wyoming. We owe It to the world which recognizes our suprem acy and expects us to see me peace and maintain law and ordei We owe it to our own soveielgntj and wo owe it to the interests nnd w ell-being of the rillplnos themselves. We have no war with the Filipinos Our conflict Is only with the single tribe of Tagals, which, because of encouragement fiom seune of out own people and because of a mlsundei standing of the leal American puipose, has bioken out in lnsuuectlon That conflict has unhappily continued bejond the hope, and pel haps. bejond the expectation of the countiy. It Is not the fault of the government. It is no fault of the soldiers Eveiy battle has been a Ictoij. The Ameilcan arms have never been defeated oi le puled The only tiouble has been that our numbeis have not been great enough to overwhelm the Insurgents and crush the tevolt." MRS.

The vol unteers, though not enlisting to fight against the Filipinos, have accepted the situation like tine Americans nnd have done their work uncomplainingly.
