Colonel liarnett, who was ] visiting the Quaker City for special ! medical treatment for an attack of j malaria contracted in the swampy trenches about Cavite, appreciated the compliment,coming from the old guard ! of the civil war, and. though lie could ; not throw his accustomed vigor into i his remarks, he made an address which i has since commanded favorable com ment.

At the ro- I union of the late Colonel Hawkins old i regiment of ihe civil war Colonel Bar i nett was a truest of honor, and was ' called uoon for a speech.

We appreciate, as I never before, the greatness of the , struggle in which you were engaged, I the fierceness of which has not and | never will be understood by other na ! tions until they themselves shall come into conflict with American armies. Serene and confident, you can gaze with appreciation upon the deeds of j others without jealousy and without envy at the applause bestowed upon | them, for you have erected for your | selves an unrivaled and imperishable 1 monument. Ihe Pnlon itself. As you marched along the streets we felt that, like the bush of Moses, your hearts were still illumined by the fire of pa- I triotism. and that by your very pres i enco you said: 'Oh, Liberty, we still | are thine, and if others falter now in the nation's hour of trial, although we i are weak and feeble, take us with all 1 that we have of life and fortune and j use tie in thy cause.' "I believe that America has a mis sion, and, tluit having been herself re | deemed by your efforts and washed ; clean from the last stain or dishonor, j and the north and south having beeu I happily again united in a common - love of our Institutions, that she has already entered upon the fulfillment of ■ that mission. From strife comes ad vancement, and this Is the lesson j taught by the records of the great j ! world's drama which we call history. "For centuries two great civiliza- I lions have battled with each other and , from the friction of that contest have ; been evolved some of Ihe choicest priv- I - ileges that helot:g toman collectively, or as sit individual. America, uti the one band, represents the highest type ; of Saxon civilization, and Spain, on the other. Ihe most decadent type of Latin. Between these two the latest and great- j i est combat in the interest of human- i j ity has just been fought. "Cuba and Porto Rico have been res- | : cued from centuries of oppression and i I have been endowed with the blessings ;of liberty. Inestimable as were there - 1 suits thus obtained, yet there was an, | other and far reaching issue Involved j In the contest, the significance of which ; has but lately become apparent. IN THE FAR OFF PHILIPPINES. "Thousands of miles beyond the Gol- j d»n Gates of California, on the farther confines of the Pacific ocean, washed i J by the blue waves of the China sea. | almost unknown to the civilized 1 i world, yet the very key to the Orient ! | 'tself, iies, smiling under a tropical Kun, the Philippine islands. Their soil is fertile beyond comparison. I'ugar, tobacco, corn, rice and lienip are among its many products. There grow without cultivation in prolific abundance the cocoanut, the mango, the banana and hundreds of varieties of nature's choic est fruits. In their uplands and among their hills can bo grown also the fruits of the temperate zone. Gold and other minerals await the discoverer's pick, and coal, that agent of civilization, only awaits to be developed. Inex haustible forests of the most magnifi cent bard woods cover and adorn their hills and mountains. Rivers and their estuaries give cheap and convenient access to all parts of the archipelago. They are inhabited by tribes of the Ma lay race, s<jnii-ci\illzed, but debauched, degraded bv the rule to which :he.v have been subjected.

During all •. ropean nations v.- ■■ to extend theii colon!;-' • ; and were eagerly approvria. the.u selves, even at the risk of co.nlict with their neighbors, portions or' E.-typt, Ai rica, India, China and of almost the whole known world, no one ventured to infringe upon the rights of Spain in this archipelago, so linn and stable was her title. Here she ruled with out comment, and without observation, until one May morning Dewey rent as sunder the veil of concealment and brought. Saxon civilization to their shores. Why did not Dewey ss.il away, after destroying the Spanish fleet? We believe that no mortal man can answer why—but we believe also that his long and lonely vigil In Manila bay. as he looked anxiously towards his na tive land, was but to carry out the destiny of the American nation. Every happening since then seems to confirm this belief, and there seems to have been laid upon this countiy a duty in regard to the Philippines impossible to escape. Had we allowed Spain to re tain possession of the Philippines we would have stultified every profession we had made in tho interest of hu manity. Hud we deprived her of pos session and then abandoned the Islui'.ds Ihe archipelago would have become a derelict in tho sea of civilization, li able to have produced a universal war. Had we thus abandoned them Aguin aldo and his savage followers would have destroyed property, would have butchered Spaniards and all foreigners alike, and there would have been uni versal anarchy, It was generally un derstood that the loot of Manila was lo be the pay of Aguinaldo's army. We would have incurred the censure of every civilized nation and in addition would have become involved in the gravest international questions of re sponsibility for loss of lives and prop erty. The great mass of 111" people are unfitted, and do not care for national sell government, if for no other reason than the lessons taught them by Spain, and while with them liberty is now a name to con jure by. yet by nature and education they are unfitted to admin ister jts principles, and left to them selves would have become a prey to ambitious and designing novors. SOVEREIGNTY OF Til:: UNION. "Spain's title was undisputed: by treaty that title passed to us, unim peachable and unimpeacho.l. When our army was assailed in the Island of Luzon the sovereignty of flur I'nioii ilseli wan tttlurknl and our flag was in- MUltod before the world. The attack was not made by ihe united inhabit ants of the archipelago, or of the Isl and of Luzon- it was made by a small part of the people of the latter island residing in tho seven provinces imme diately surrounding the city of Manila, and known as the Tagalos tribe. Tills tribe is fierce anil warlike, and is on friendly terms with scarcely any other tribe In the whole country, and if the peacefully iiu lined Inhabitants of the Island of Llt/.on Itself could be re lieved of their fear of this tribe they would have no sympathy whatever with this war for so-called indepen dence. Although a constitution has been prepared and published to the world, yet in reality the war is not a war for independence, but rather for self aggrandizement. Agtiinalilo himself, who Ims been hailed by senti mental Americans as the apostle of liberty for his people, lived in kingly state and splendor—his people were taxed to keep up this magnificence and it.was kept up until he was compelled to take flight from Malolos. His gen eral and associates maintained the same point) and parade, and it was this barbaric splendor which the United States was expected to support for the benefit of the Filipino leaders. "The fact is, the Filipino leader did not believe that they could estab llsh and uphold a permanent govern ment themselves, for prior to the out break. when attempts at conciliation were being made, when asked whether they wished the American army and navy to be taken away and they left to themselves they invariably answered "no." but that they wished a protector ate. This word "protectorate" seems to have charms for many people in America who do not understand its significance in the Philippines. Ac cording to the Philippine construction It meant that they should have sole control of the government and the revenues therefrom: that the army and navy of the I'nited States should act as a police force under their direction and assist them to subdue and control all tribes refusing to acknowledge their sovereignty. The Tagalos constitute but a small part of tho population of the Island of Luzon itself, and this meant practically the subjugation of that island in addition to that of the entire islands of the archipelago. It meant that whenever they violated the principles of international law by reason of ignorance or rashness that the Fnlted Stales was to assume the responsibility for such violation and to sustain them against the resentment of any and all civilized powers. The American flag was to light beneath the Filipino flag, and yet at the same time bo its protector. "Hail tills arrangement been made 1 believe that it would have cost this country more lives and more treasure than can possibly bo expended in sup pressing the present insurrection -that In sentiment and in honor it would have cost us infinite vexation and hu miliation and that Instead id being the upholders of liberty we would have be rente tho guardians of a worthless despotism. or it HO I its MISREPRESENTED. "Not 11 u!y i- there h',:t .. small part o£ tlm I;:!:ilit! ol Luzon engaged iu, this in:-.:!■»•« Ji ic ■>.

Under orders from these lead ers all towns and cities which were abandoned were burned by the insur gent forces, and the inhabitants com pelled to move back within their lines. Thousands upon thousands have thus had their homes destroyed by their own countrymen and have been com pelled to live as best they might, in poverty and suffering. For a while the people hud been terrified and had been prejudiced against the American army bv printed circulars, which had been distributed, stating that the United States troops had committed all kinds of atrocities against old men and help less women and children in the towns which they captured, but experience soon showed them that the Americans were their best, friends. By the time we reached Malolos the people had come to understand the treatment they would receive from the American army and we were informed by those who ventured back under flags of truce that nearly the whole population wished to remain in their homes and await tho coming of our troops, but that the in surgents at the point of the bayonet forced them to leave and drove them back into the country, where they lived in swamps and thickets. "It was the order of General Otis, carried out to the fullest extent by our division commander. General Mac A rthur, that the troops should treat these non-combatants with the utmost cour tesy and kindness, and this was done, despite all reports to the contrary. "As commander of the district of Cavite 1 had personal knowledge of this feeling in the provinces of Cavite and Batangas, the very hotbed of the insurrection. The town of Cavite, which was of limited area, became so crowded that for fear of an epidemic of sickness 1 was obliged to turn away hundreds upon hundreds of men and women, coming from the mainland, who wished to abandon the insurgent cause and escape from the excesses and outrages of the insurgent troops. As soon as the insurgent forces had with drawn the prc\tinent citizens of Imus, the capital of Cavite province, wel comed the American troops, and under their direction formed a local gov ernment, under which they are still working. Other towns in this prov ince sent requests to have the Ameri can forces visit them and receive their submission. "The insurgent army itself is not united, as a great many of the soldiers were forced to enlist and are com pelled to serve under threat of death. ADM INISTRATI ON COM MEN DED. "I have been asked, as has every re turning soldier, my opinion of the con duct of the war. This question is so indefinite that 1 do not think it can be intelligently answered by subordin ate officers like myself. I can say, how ever, that within my knowledge two of the departments, which most vitally affect the interests of the army, could not, under all the circumstances, have been better conducted. The rations were excellent and were promptly sup plied, the hospital accommodations were ample and the medical staff suf ficient, not only to care for our own men, but to furnish an object lesson in generosity and magnanimity by treating hundreds of Filipinos, who would otherwise have been left to die. "Speaking from a material stand point, these islands will prove a valu able acquisition to the I'nited States. Already they are developing commerce to a wonderful extent upon the Pa cific coast. Those who have not seen them cannot appreciate tho prodigali ty of nature or the immense commer cial traffic which they possess. If peace be restored the revenues of but a few years will suffice to pay for their pur chase, and the price of their conquest, and I venture the prediction that be fore the next national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic the sovereignty of the United States will be undisputed throughout the length and breadth of the archipelago. 1 do not propose to discuss expansion and anti-expansion, for I am not familiar with the exact meaning of«those terms. If anti-expansion means that we should not assume possession of the Philippines—then it is out of date, for we already hold them by a title that no civilized nation for very self pres ervation would dare to dispute. If it eans that we are to retire from the ! esent cnnflict, to abandon the islands ti> anarehv and dark and bloody deeds ■ft i " and death, and that our na ■ 1 emblem is to be thus humiliated -honored for the first time be :..e nations of the earth, then I do believe that the great majority of I! 1 American people will consent. I ;.-> not believe that you, who fought d suffered to preserve, establish and perpetuate the very Union whose hon or and sovereignty are thus assailed, will consent that its flag shall be hauled down in that land, whose soil has been consecrated to the cause of liberty and dedicated to civilization by the shed ding of American blood." . WORKING FOR BARNETT. Soldiers of Union, Snyder and Nortli utnhorlnn.l Oi'Kantzlnir. General Frank Reeder, chairman of the Republican state committee, has received a letter informing him that steps have been taken for the forma tion of a "Barnett battalion," to be' made up of soldiers residing in the Twenty-seventh senatorial district who volunteered in tho Spanish-American war or for service in the Philippines, who propose to co-operate In the can vass for the election of Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett, of the Fight ing Tenth regiment, for state treas urer. This organization is to be form ed upon the same lines as the "Bar nett battalion" of Philadelphia, which is already recruiting for the campaign. There has been aroused a spirit of patriotic Interest in Colonel Barnett's candidacy which Is spreading among the young soldiers throughout the ptate. They seem determined to take a conspicuous part in the canvass this fall. The old time political warriors,!

Declared That if War Comes It Will lie |\Vagrd Relentlessly England Believes Johannesburg Can Be Taken in Six Month*—The Boers Plan Purely Defensive. London, Sept. 12.—Everybody is ask whether or not thero will be war. The newspapers are filled with infor mation relating to troops going to South Africa. Eight brigades have been mobilized in home districts, and are ready to start at any moment. The troops are bursting with enthusiasm. Volunteer regiments are pleading to be sent to the front. livery Englishman knows that the Transvaal will either have to belong to England or else England will have to get out of South Africa. Mr. Glad stone gave tiie Transvaal away. Mr. Chamberlain is determined to get it back. England may not believe in Mr. Chamberlain, but tin l situation de mands a strong man.and ihe strong man of the Cabinet is Chamitet'lain. It is a little power against a big. The Englishmen recognize that Kruger has some rights that ought to tie re spected. but England also recognizes that in South U'rica there is a bit of country tilled with gold that she needs, and England has a way of gettiuu what she wants. It seems like a small affair, and all the nations of Europe smile ai the idea nf the Transvaal opposing England. Hut England knows better. She has learned by experience. There may not be war. but nearly i'vc-rybody thinks war is certain. Cu tler any circumstances there cannot be war inside of two mouths. The Boers rati put:>. 0,000 troops iu the field; the Orange Free State can put 20.000 Regiment after regiment is leaving England, and ntuonjr people of experi nce it is recognized that (.{read Britain will require at least 100.000 men to ibtain a territory that once was hers. The Commander in Chief. Field Mar shal Lord Wolseley. Sir Evelyn Wood. (Jen. Sir Redvers-Buller. and other Generals have been working strenuous ly on it for months. Many new fen* lures have been introduced, several of ihein being based on the lessons learu i d by the American troops in the war with Spain. Among the later is the .'xtrenie usefulness of mules in such :t •ountiy as the Transvaal. The British itliccrs who have been in the I'liited States. Spain, and South America se lecting these animals have now been ordered to close their purchases and ■ship the mules as quickly as possible to the scene of the probable hostilities. All of these tilings, to say nothing' nf the splendid morale and reputation if the regiments selected for the Cape, indicate that if war comes it will be waged relentlessly atid strongly and that there will be no abatement until South Africa is fiood»>d with British iroops to such numbers that organized insistence by the Boers will be Impos sible. Conservative opinion places six months as the outside for the cnptuiv if Johannesburg and Pretoria. The Boer plan of mobilization is said to lie purely defensive, embracing t.V >OO men. who would occupy strategical mints in their own country. But this s not likely to prevent a raid upon poorly defended Xntal.
