Gen. Otis refuses to recognize our
government, unless tie is afraid
that the other foreign powers will
{4 then recognize us.
t Gen. Alejaadioo impressed the
Associated Press correspondent
as "dignified, dispassionate and a
keen man of the world." He was
^ educated in Europe, and "designed
the remarkable entrenchments
from Manila to Tarlac."
fT* Even if judged by his reported
words only, this Filipino officer
amply justifies the opinion of the
correspondent Simply and in a
few calm words he has made an
analysis of the situatian which
could hardly he improved upon
by anybody. This man know? his
ca?e ; he known the strength ?nd
weaknet-s of the Filipino position ;
and if ? hp there is no reason to
doubt?the men he represents
understand the issae and the eon
di'ions ns he dne?, it will be the
sheerest, folly to attempt either
to terrorize or to delude them
into that "unconditional surren
der" which has been prescribed
bv McKinley and demanded hv
Otis.
What absurd nonsense it is to
treat men ns keen witted, clear
i> sighted and well informed ha this
Filipino leafier as if tliev were
savages or mental wealing- !
Why, there is more common
sef.se and logic and real informa
tjon in these two brief interviewthan
in all the utterances of the
administration on the Philippine
question in tile last twelve
months.
Partisan politics and reckless
greed, supported by n ? stien I
vanity, may make us continue
this war of subjugation f..r a year
or more, hut in the the solu
tion which The S? ?r? urged
twelve months ago and which
tbia Filipino declares th.> willing
neaa of his government to accept
will have to he adopted. We cannot.
hold the Philippines in subjection
V>v force, but. we can con
^rol or influence them under .1
protectorate?and to that it mu*t
I come at last.. A year ago it could
!-.< have been arranged without fric
firm or difficulty and to our great
commercial advantage Hereafter
it wilt he lea* ea??v to srrange
* and the commercial fruits will he
smaller, since we have incurred
the enmfty of the people, but it
will he our onlv resort for escape
wirh dignity from An untenable
position. It must be a protector

DUTCH WOMEN OF THE TRANS
VAAL.
("In thus estimating the fighting
strength of the dutch allowance must
be made for Oom Paul's countrywomen.")
The blood that came from where thf
dikes
Beat back the sullen sea
lias flowed on many a gory field,
But always has been free;
The women who in days gone by
Fought stanchly wit.b the men
Have reared up daughters who wil
come
To load the guns again.
Their Amazonian ranks uprise
Like billows in the gale;
The lion of Hie desert found
Their courage did not fail;
The Zulu warriors saw them stand
Behind the wagons, when,
All aide by aide, they strove and died
The women with the men.
Not right of might shall make them
yield
And basely bow the knee:
Against the foe their lives will stand
As dikes against the sea.
The old Dutch spirit brought to bay,
All lion-like, as when
They steadfast faced the savage
hordes,
The women and the men.
And dost thou hope, Victoria,
To humble such as these ?
As well to bridle all the winds
Or chain the rolling seas!
Go! let thy battle signal flame
And conquer them; and then
Go bury In the trenches there
The women with the men!
