tiu not been a po cb la either house of
congress or any other matter ot promi-
nence concerning the Philippines that does
not became quite welt known to Agnlnaldo
and hi a soldier As soon as anything det-
rimental to tho aggressive policy Is pub-
lished It Is Immediately cabled to Hong
Kong whither It Is rocelved Within twen
tyfour hours by members ot the riilllp
pltto Junta and within two days is In the
hands ot Agutnaldo and his offlcors
Regarding tho action ot Edward Atnln
on and his followers Mr Barrett said
Tho attttud6 of Mr Atkinson has fnllcn
completely flat among the American sol-
diers The first paper that was Issued In
Boston when received by tho troops In
May was greeted with cheers and scorn
and tho remark was freely orprossod that
It was a shame that anything so unAmeri
can could bo porpctrated The followers
of Mr Atkinson Including Mr Dryan and
several senators opposed to annexation
cry against tho loss of llfo In tho Philip-
pines They aro themselves to blamo for
tho Increase In loss of Hfo because they en
courago the Filipinos to fight by their sedi-
tious utterances It Is no exaggeration to
say that If there Is any lnflucnco to keep
tho natives from surrendering It Is front
Americans and their sentlmont which they
evidently hopo will bocome so strong that
tho troops will bo called homo
I have Investigated tho matter thor-
oughly and found to my great satisfaction
that there Is not a particle of anxiety for
relief among tho troops I have talked
with hundreds of representative men Id
all the volunteer regiments nnd did not
get a single answer otherwise Tho vol-
unteer regiments lnoludo thoso from Penn-
sylvania Minnesota Oregon California
Kansas Montana And Washington ond It
is the same whether on garrison duty or
on the lines Their sentiment Is expressed
as one of the soldiers told mo Wo are
anxious to go home but only on condition
that regiments will ariivo to take our
places The noncombitant natives cut
no figure In the general result of tho war
There are not so many ot them In tho
Island ot Luzon with a great majority
with Agulnaldo Tho wealthy merchants
aro remaining quiet and remain neutral
but aro wlchlng an opportunity to sldo
with one or tho other as will best meet
their financial ends
I think that with the rebellion In
Luzon crushed tho backbone of tho entire
war Is broken Wo will havo llttlo trouble
with the other Islands and they will quick-
ly come under the Amorlcan flag Tho
natives seem to prefer tho flag ot tho
United 8tates to that of any other power
Mr Barrett spoke in tho strongest praise
of Admiral Dewey

THE ENGLISH LIBERALS
Lord Roseberys Recent Speech Has Stirred

A FIGHT FOR LEADERSHIP INAUGURATED

Copyrighted 1893 by Associated Press
London iMay 13 Lord Roseberys speech
before tho London Liberal club on May 6
In the course of which he expressed a wish
for the revival ot tho old liberal spirit
has proven an oratorical appeal of discord
ot tho first order It haa elicited a virulent
reply from Sir William Vernon Harcourt
In a sDcech before the Devonshire club
which has been tho political sensation of
tho week Sir Williams speech bore wit
ness to tho bitterness of tho duel for the
leadership of tho liberal party between
himself and Lord Rosehery and to the pent
up personal feeling of the speaker against
Lord Rosebery who was responsible for
his temporary effacoment In the court of
Sir William Vernon Harcourta speech he
declared that Lord RoscberyB words wero
tantamount to the advice Take a spongs
and wlpo out tho glorious Inheritance which
Mr Gladstone left tho party boforo his
ashes are cold
The liberal organs nave taken up the
cudgels in behalf of Lord Rosebery and
talk to Harcourt very straight The spcak
e calls his Interpretation of Lord Rose
berv3 words a most absurd and malicious
falsification of his meaning and the worit
examplo In recent years ot downright mis
representation
The British Weekly says Harcourts at
tack was grossly unlust and slanderous
ami 13 only to be accounted for
by a rancor
of hatrod amounting almost to madness
rhei mouthnleceB of the liberal party In
sist that Lord Rosebery In
urging a re
turn to tho liberalism of 18SG did not mean
a change of programme but a return to
the pjrtv discipline and cohesion that ex
