General Davis characterizes tho rifle Are of the Americans as excellent and says he has never witnessed a performance excel ling tho capture of the Moro fort In gallantry. General Davis says also 1 is his painful duty to announce that the overthrow of Moro power was nol accomplished without severe loss to the Americans.

"I was elected to Ccn?re?? in after a heated canvass against able opponents and yet. on every stump In the district, I proelalmeil my Inde pendence and announced that upon national questions I would follow tuV own Judgment and not be hotmd by the caucus of any party. Although my Democracy was assailed at that. time. I was olectei^ four times upon the riMme declaration of prlneipl i;. < any I n c out my pledges to the people, I began a systematic. Htudy of the ones' lions of the day with the result that I changed my views upon many , of them. The llrst marked difference with my party associates arose over the tariff question while I was in the House and a incmebr of its ways and mean m committee.

"My attitude wag endorood by ''0 per cent, of those voting In the pri mary, and I came to the Senalc. The issues growing out of the Spanish war widened the breach between myself and the Democratic party leaders, for I could only follow the dictates of my conscience and stand by American soldiers fighting upon a .foreign soil. At that time the war was not a party question and I hoped It would not be come so. in this F was disappointed airl was soon coajronted hy the. alter native of retracing my fitejis, or find ing myself In opposition to a majority of the Democratic party leaders and excluded from their rati own. I con ^eluded that not even a seat in the United States Senate was worth a surrender of my convictions and thai opinion i? unchanged. There is not a speech or vote of mine tipen any question growing out of the Spanish American war that 1 would change, oven If I could, and which I do not tnko pride In, thus proving my loyally to niy country. "I have ever maintained this inde pendence of thought and action; Last summer, recognizing my responsibili ty to the people, the^o being no cam paign in the &Ute^-I announced my intention of going before them for the purpose of discussing these national issues, I was immediately and violent ly asnailed for advocating Republi can deetrinea and branded as a- Hp publican In Democratic disguise.
