This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you. 

Usage guidelines 

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 
We also ask that you: 

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 

+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

THE COTTON CROP AND PRICES. 

The phenomenally low price of cotton re- 
cently reported, said to be the lowest point 
(reached in many years, lends special inter- 
leet to a series of tables Just compiled by 
tt« treasury bureau of statistics, showing 
the remarkable increase in cotton produc- 
tlmi and coincidental fall in price. These 
mihles show that the United States, the 
l^ef cotton producer of the world, has 
NiiUidmpled her cotton production since 1872, 
and tiiat the price of cotton in the same 



period has fallen to about one-fourth that 
which prevailed in that vear. In 1872 the 
cotton crop of the United States is shown 
to have been 1,384,084,494 pounds, with an 
average price of 22.19 cents per pound. In 
1898 the crop is reported at 5,667,372,051 
pounds, with an average price of 6.23 cents 
per pound. Thus the production of 1898 is 
more than four times that of 1872 and tbe 
average price but a little over one-fourth 
that of that year.

According to figures given by La Revue 
Francaise- de TEtranger, the total popula- 
tion of Europe, by calculations made on the 
latest census, is 380,000,000, which is a gain 
of 37,000,000 over that computed January, 
1S88. Here Is a table showing the figures 
given in the Revue: 

European Russia and Finland 106,200,000 

Germany 52,300, OOO 

Austria-Hungary 43,600,000 

United Kingdom 89,800,000 

France 38,roo,o.o 

Italy 31,800,000 

$»in 18,000,000 

Belgium 6,600,000 

Turkey in Europe 6,800,000 

Koumanla 5,600,000 

Portugal 5,000,000 

Sweden 5,000,000 

Holland 4,000,000 






Bulgaria 3,000,000 

Switzerland 3,000,000 

Greece 2,400, 000 

Denmark 2,300,000 

Servla 2.300,000 

Norway 2,000,000 

The density of the population according 
to each square kilometer (about .386 square 
mile) is thus reckoned: In Belgium, 220;

years, that of (Jermany has been 1.15, of 
Austrla-Hungaiy .96, of England .35, of 
Italy .46, of France .08. At this rate of 
augmentation in 100 years Russia would 
have 228,000,000 inhabitants, Germany 106,- 
000,000, Austria 79,000,000, England 65,000,000,

The only authorized material standard of 
customary length is the Traughton scale be- 
longing to this oflSce, whose length at 590.62 
Fahr. conforms to the British standard. The 
yard in use in the United States is therefore 
equal to the British yard. 

The only authorized material standard of 
customary weight is the troy pound of the 
mint. It is of brass of unknown density, and 
therefore not suitable for a standard of mass. 
It was derived from the British standard 
troy pound of 1758 by direct comparison. The 
British avoirdupois pound was also derived 



from the latter, and contains 7.000 grains troy- 

The grain troy is therefore the same as the 
grain avoirdupois, and the pound avoirdu- 
pois in use in the United States is equal to 
the British pound avoirdupois. 

The British gallon— 4.54^ liters. 

The British bushel<-36.3477 liters. 

The length of the nautical mile given above 
and adopted by the United States Coast and 
Geodetic Survey many years ago is defined 
as that of a minute of arc of a great circle of a 
sphere whose surface equals that of the earth 
(Clarke's Spheroid of 1866),

By the concurrent action of the principal 

g)Ternment8 of the world an International 
oreau of Weights and Measures has been 
established near Paris. Under the direction 
of the International Committee two Ingots 
^ere cast of pure platinum-lrldium in the 

Eroportion of 9 parts of the former to 1 of the 
ttter metaL From one of these a certain 
number of kilogrammes were prepared, from 
tjbe other a definite number of meter bars. 
These standards of weight and length were 
inter^ompared, without preference, and cer- 
uiui ones selected as international standards. 
Tiie others were distributed by lot, in Septem- 
"^f«1889. to the different governments and are 
c&Iled national prototype standards. Those 
apportioned to the United States were received 
In uBO and are in the keeping of United States 
^^»i and geodetic survey. \ 



The metric system was legalized in the 
United States in 18H6. 

The international standard meter is derived 
from the meter des archives, and its length Is 
defined by the dlstanbe between two lines at 
QO centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar de- 
posited at the International Bureau of 
Weights and Measures. 

The international standard kilogramme is 
amass of platinum-iridium deposited at the 
same place, and its weight in vacuo is the 
same as that of the kilogramme des archives. 

The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter, and 
it is measured by the quantity of distilled 
water whicli, at its maximum density, will 
counterpoise the standard kilogramme in a 
vacuum, the volume of such a quantity of 
water being, as nearly as has been ascer- 
tained, equal to a cubic decimeter.

WHEAT CORNER OF 1897-98. 



95 



WHEAT OOBNEB OP 1897-96. 



The year 1898 marked the culmination and 
collapse of one of the most gigantic and 
spectacular operations in wheat ever in- 
aogurated in this or any other country. The 
center of actiyity was Chicago, and the 
central figure was Joseph Leiter, a resident 
of that city. Operations were continued 
over a period of more than ten months, dur- 
ing which it is estimated that nearly 100,- 
000,000 bushels of wheat were traded in by 
the party in Interest, including what is gen- 
erally known as his *'scalping" operations, 
and the price was advanced from 65 cents 
at the start to $1.85 a bushel before the 
end was reached, a net improvement of 
nearly $1.20. The amount or cash wheat 
handled by one party, the capital Involved 
and the wide interest excited were without 

Brecedent. The attention of the whole clv- 
ized world was attracted and the Chicago 
market was constantly watched by the peo- 
ple of all foreign lands, as well as by those 
of our own. 

Prices were pushed to a dizzy height, but 
the collapse was sudden and disastrous, 
Joseph Letter and his immediate following 
being the principal sufTerers, those best in- 
formed estimating their losses at nearly, if 
not fully, $10,000,000. 

Joseph Ijef ter was a young man of 29, who 
had never been known as an operator in 
wheat, and was not even a member of the 
board of trade'; he came of good mercantile 
stock, however, his father— L. Z. Leiter— 
having been for many years a leading and 
successful merchant in Chicago, finally re- 
tiring from the business with a large for- 
tune, which was eventually increased to 
130,000,000 or more. The son was thought to 
have inherited the mercantile instincts of 
his father, and had already demonstrated in 
manv ways his keen business sagacity. It 
Idv claimed, and generally admitted, that 
when Leiter ventured upon his first opera- 
tions in wheat nothing was more foreign to 
bis thoughts than the colossal transactions 
In which he eventually became the directing 
spirit. The idea of "speculation" he dls- 
daimed from first to lairt, stoutly contend- 
ing that he was simply a merchant, and a 
speculator only in the sense that he ex- 
pected to sell what he bought at a handsome 
profit, and without resorting to any of the 
irl<^ known to the typical speculator. 

A fortunate investment made early in 
September, 1897, was the humble beginning 
of the Leiter deal, which did not end until 
June 12, 1898. Prom the Inception the trans- 
actions gradually grew in magnitude until 
•very previous experience in that line was 
completely overshadowed, and the World 
watched its development with increasing 
wonder. 

"Hie reasons which led Leiter to think so 
favorably of wheat were found in the then 
prevailing conditions the world over, but 
more especially in Europe, and these he 
freely made known to the public. He at- 
tempted no deception, but openly warned 
every one of the folly of selling wheat at the 
then prevailing prices, and he at the same 
ume proceeded to buy freely what the pub- 
Be seemed so greedy to sell, with the result 
that when the conditions he had foreseen 
came finally to be generally acknowledged, 
prices were greatly enhanced and the sound- 

law of his judgment apparently vindicated. 

The world's crop of wheat in 1897 was 



much below the average. England, France, 
and other countries which found it neces- 
sary to import wheat, found also their 
harvests more than usually deficient; while 
Russia, India, Argentina and Austria-Hun- 
gary—countries which usually raise a large 
surplus for export— found this surplus great 
ly curtailed. So with enlarged necessities 
came uiminished supplies, and-'the problem 
of feeding Europe soon began to attract at- 
tention in Anieonca. As figured out statis- 
tically, the breadstuffs situation, when the 
harvests in 1897 were gathered, compared 
with that of 1896 as follows: 

- — Wheat crop (biLahels), — > 

1897. Ib96, 

France 248,000,000 387,000,000 

Russia 232,000,000 319,000,000 

Italy 88,000,000 132,000,000 

Austria 36,000,000 41,000,000 

Hungary 93,000.000 lt>x,000,000 

Roumania 29,000,000 69,000,000 

Bulgaria 25,000,000 45,000,000 

United Kingdom.. 54,000,000 60,000,000 

The above-named countries, with the 
minor ones not named, showed a deficiency 
in the European wheat production of 1897 of 
356,000,000 bushels, as compared with the 
year previous. To offset this was an in- 
crease in the United States of about 120.- 
000,000 bushels and about 20,000,000 bushels 
in other parts of the world, leaving a net 
shortage in the world's wheat supply of 
over 200,000,000 bushels. These figures early 
attracted Leiter's attention, and he argued 
openly that they foreshadowed an unusual 
demand for American wheat, and predicted 
an astonishing advance in values. So it 
was not long before he became a heavy 
buyer— simply as a merchant, he always 
protested, or as he would buy a piece of 
real estate when it was offered below its 
intrinsic value. He was in the market bo- 
cause the inexorable law of supply and de- 
mand must eventually enhance the price of 
wheat. Probably no man ever bought a 
bushel of wheat with more complete con- 
fidence in its legitimate value than did 
Joseph Leiter in nis earlier dealings, and, 
despite his many disappointments and the 
serious obstacles he frequently encountered, 
his faith rarely wavered until the disastrous 
end of his long campaign was finally 
reached. In the whole ten months of its 
continuance he never descended .to any of 
the tricks of the ordinary speculator, nor 
endeavored to take advantage of the seller 
by concealing his real purpose; he openly 
proclaimed himself on the "bull side,'^ 
warned the trade of the danger of "selling 
short," and bought without Umlt whatever 
was offered for sale. In August, 1897, his 
presence in the market and his extensive 
operations began to attract attention; the 
price was then about 75^ cents, having sold 
at 641^ cents earlier in the season. As his 
accumulations went on prices were gradu- 
ally enhanced. When the end of September 
approached, and the time was near at hand 
for the delivery of the wheat Leiter had 
bought for that month's delivery, it was 
found that there was little here, and to 
avoid the odium of running a corner he an- 
nounced his willingness to transfer all hia 
trades to December, but warned tne trade 
that the price would be very much higher 
when that delivery matured. But the large 
traders— and especially that class known to 



96 



GHIGAQO DAILY NEWS ALMANAO FOB 1899. 



inclade the elevator interest— were almost 
onlformly "bears," and, confident that an 
amateur speculator, as Lelter was acknowl- 
edged to oe, could not successfully carry 
through a campaign on the lines he had un- 
dertaken, all kept selling heavily, and Letter 
kept on buying with equal persistency, 
prices in the meanwhile continuing to ad- 
rance steadily. 

By this time the world had become deeply 
interested aad everybody was watching the 
course of prices on the Chicago board of 
trade, the up turn abroad having kept pace 
with that in America. As the end of De- 
cemoer, 1897, drew near, the stocks of con- 
tract wheat in Chicago were found to be 
greatlv depleted and nearly 6,000,000 bushels 
less than Lelter had bought in the mean- 
time, and which must be delivered to him 
before the end of the month. Many, consid- 
ering the situation hopeless for the shorts, 
settled and paid their differences. But the 
great elevator proprietors, who, as before 
stated, were the largest "shorts," deter- 
mined to get the wheat and deliver it, evi- 
dently expecting that the delivery of 5,000,- 
000 to 6,000,000 bushels practically in one 
lump— and which had to be paid for in cash 
on delivery— would financially embarrass the 
daring young operator. For this purpose the 
northwest was ransacked by the large and 
wealthy interests which had been caught 
"short," and wheat was bought wherever 
it could be found, with little regaru to the 
price, and, favored by unusually open 
weamer, millions of bushels were Drought 
to Chicago by lake from Duluth and by car 
from Minneapolis. During the last days of 
December there were delivered to Lelter 
over 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, which was 
promptly accepted and paid for in cash, ap- 
parently without effort and without any un- 
usual strain on his financial credit. This 
large delivery, with his other holdings, left 
Lelter the absolute owner of from 8,000,000 
to 10,000,000 bushels of the cereal, though in 
the meantime he bad been sending it for- 
ward very liberally to tidewater or to 
Europe. There was some expectation that 
the enormous demands made on Leiter's 
bank account bv the delivery of so much 
property, on which instant payment was de^ 
manded, might prove too much of a load for 
the young speculator; but his father, L. Z. 
Lelter, promptly came to his assistance 
with his $30,000,000 fortune, and his credit 
soon became practically unlimited. 

For a moment Lelter hesitated at this 
Juncture, but his indecision did not last 
long; he was the owner of a vast amount of 
rain which he felt forced to protect, and 



jIs only course now seemed to be to carry 
his campaign into May, 1898. At the same 
time he began those tremendous shipments 
abroad wlilch soon became the wonder of 
the trade, and, with a single exception, 
finally eclipsed anything before known in 
the hlstorv of the grain trade. In order to 
guard against a repetition of his experience 
in December, 1897, he extended his opera- 
tions into the northwest, and before long 
owned millions of bushels of wheat at Du- 
luth and Bflnneapolis, in addition to his im- 
mense and dally Increasing holdings at Chi- 
cago. But wheat was still offered freely; 
the farmers, attracted by the high prices, 
were selling everything they had scored, un- 
til the interior reserves were well-nigh ex- 
hausted everywhere. In the meantime prices 
had gone up by leaps and bounds, and the 
foreign markets were keeping pace with 



those in this country. Yet Leiter's repre- 
sentatives still stood in the pit and de- 
manded more vi^eat, though in the mean- 
time his accumulations probably amounted 
to 20,000,000 bushela— a larger load than any 
single individual was ever before known to 
carry. But his faith bad not yet begun to 
waver: "shorts" had become badly fright- 
ened, however, and with Leiter's a«;resilye 
confidence and the "shorts' " effbrts to 
cover prices continued to soar. 

The end of Biay, 1898, finally came, and 
Leiter's opponents again disappointed him; 
they had made the most strenuous exer- 
tions; had ransacked the country, and final- 
ly succeeded in delivering him 8,000,000 
bushels, for which prompt payment was nec- 
essary; but his star was still in the ascend- 
ant, or at least his financial aky was un- 
clouded, and payment was easily made. 
By this time, however, his holdings had 
enlarged to something like 25,000,000 bushel-', 
representing not less than $30,000,000 in cash 
—a staggering load for any one but Lelter. 
Yet, still undaunted, he at once commenced 
to buy wheat for July delivery, and this 
move was the beginnlne of the end. His 
skies darkened, the load became tiresome, 
and financial difficulties began to press 
mort or less heavily, and his confident smile 
had departed. Prices abroad had risen to a 
point which restricted consumption, and the 
old world was driven to other markets. 
Argentina and India had begun to ship their 
bountiful crops, and the promise for this 
country for 1898 as well as for the old world 
generally was most brilliant. Every hour 
the burden became heavier for the man who 
had undertaken to fight the whole world. 
The speculative element fought him with 
frantic vigor, and every available bushel of 
wheat on both sides of the ocean was sold, 
so that the theoretical supplies which Lelter 
had figured on were enormously exceeded by 
the actual marketings. The end drew near; 
it came suddenly. On Monday, June 13, 1898, 
Lelter found himself with 30,000,000 to S5,- 
000,000 bushels of wheat on hand, his ready 
cash gone and his credit with the banks 
shattered by the withdrawal of the financial 
support of L. Z. Lelter, which he had hither- 
to had. 

Realizing at last the hopelessness of his 
battle, he struck his colors, threw all the 
wheat he had bought for July on to the mar- 
ket, and in little more than an hour had 
divested himself of fully 8,000,000 bushels. 
The price had also dropped 20 cents a 
bushel, aggregating fully $7,000,000 on his 
entire holdings. The 16.000,000 bushels or 
more of cash wheat he held in this country 
and Europe then became a matter of grsTe 
concern. A general panic was likely to fol- 
low the forced marketing of such a vast 
amount of property, and to avoid such a 
calamity it was protected by the banks 
and finally placed in the hanos of trustees 
to be sold at leisure when shortened sup- 

Slles might warrant it or circumstances 
Ictate. This eminently vrise action pre- 
vented the disastrous consequences which 
would otherwise have foUowea such a com- 
plete collapse and minimised the ruin which 
might, without such precaution, have fol- 
lowed the Lelter fiasco. 

It will no doubt be Interesting to trace 
the course of prices each month during the 
ten months that Lelter was carrying on his 
campaign, or from Aug. 1, 1897, to June 18, 
1898, comparing them with the current 
values the same month of the year previous

The price in June, 
collapse, had ranged at $1.05@1.20,' and on 
the day that Leiter threw his holdings over- 
board the price fell to 85 cents, and a week 
later had fallen to 76 cents, a loss of $1.10 
from the top figure, $1.85, which was

The advance started wheat to Chicago 
from all over the country and the receipts 
were far in excess of what any one had cal-

The exports from this country were also 
unusually heavy, for as soon as Leiter's 
operations became well understood not only 
was there a healthy legitimate foreign de- 
mand but Leiter himself was disposed to 
market his wheat abroad and used every 
effort to get it across the ocean. The 
monthly exports from and including Janu- 
ary, 1898— when the foreign movement got 
well under way— to and including June, com-

That the Leiter deal was of immense pe- 
cuniary benefit to the wheat growers of the 
world there can be no question, however 
disastrous it mav have been to himself and 
his financial backers and followers. It cre- 
ated an unusual, even though it was par- 
tially fictitious, demand, which greativ en- 
hanced the price. The persistent "snort" 
seller, who had for so many years coined 
money by depreciating the price, found that 
he was for a time overmatched, and the 
wheat "bear" was, for the time being, out 
of fashion. Leiter's campaign added from 
10 cents to 50 cents a bushel to the farm- 
ers* staple crop, and, while the aftermath 
was serious loss or absolute ruin to many. 
Its good effects were felt on thousands of 
faims and will continue to be for years to 
come.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899. 



Englishman, Mr. Brown, who had been em- 
ployed to supervise Korean linaoces, and the- 
appointment of a Russian, Mr. Alexieff, in 
bis place, against the protest of Great Brit- 
ain. Such an appointment would baye 
placed Korea in the nands of Russia. Great 
Britain followed np her protest against this 
change by sending a strong fleet to Che- 
mulpo, and the result was that a compro- 
mise was effected under which the Korean 
customs were administered by a Joint com- 
mission of British and Russian oMcials. 
The seizure of the island of Hainan by the 
French in December, 1897, brought a protest 
from the British foreign office and a decla- 
ration by France that permanent occupation 
was not designed. 

With her enormons interests InyoWed In 
China, Great Britain conid not remain pas- 
sive to Russia's occupation of Port Arthur, 
which commanded tne Gulf of Pe-chl-11, 
and. Incidentally, the Chinese capital Itself. 
So strongly opposed was tne British govern- 
ment to the Russian occupancy that every 
effort was made to dissuade the czar from 
his purpose, the government pledging itself 
not to occupy any port in the gulf if Russia 
would abandon ' the Port Arthur scheme. 
•Russia flatly refused to consider the British 
proposal, and in self-defense a demand wa«i 
made upon China by the British government 
for a lease of the port of Wei-Hai-Wei, after 
it had been evacuated by Japan, which then 
held it as security for the unpaid war in- 
demnity, and demanded it of China upon 
the same terms granted to Russia in the ces- 
sion of Port Arthur. The demand of Great 
Britain was acknowledged, the indemnity 
was paid to Japan in May, 1898, and on the 
20th of that month the British forces occu- 
pied the port. 

By this movement Great Britain more 
than matched Russia, for the port of Wei- 
Hal-Wel is a more commanding position 
than Port Arthur. While the latter com- 
mands Pekln. the former commands the 
Chinese capital by commanding the Gulf of 
Pe-chl-11 and Port Arthur itself. While 
Port Arthur is of no value as a commercial 
point, Wei-Hai-Wei Is of Importance as a 
mercantile harbor and is capable of better 
defense than the Russian naval entrepot. 
It cannot be denied that in the Gulf of Pe- 
chl-li Great Britain holds a far stronger 
naval and commercial position than Russia 
does. 

While these scrambles were going on in 
northern China, France was strengthening 
herself along the Tonquin frontier In the 
south. She acquired the lease of a large 
bay on the southern coast of China; the 
right to build a railroad between Tonquin 
and Yunnan-Fu, in the province of Yun- 
nan, an Important point on< the road from 
Kwel-Yung-Fu to the western frontier of 



China; a promise from China not to alienate 
any of the territory in the four southern 
provinces of the empire, which comprise 
about one-eighth of tne entire domain; an 
agreement not to transfer to any other 
power the island of Hainan, which lies oft 
the coast of the French possessions in Ton- 
quin and commands the entire coast, be- 
sides some voice in the administration of 
the Chinese postal service, then under Eng- 
lish control. The important part of this 
agreement to France is the railroad conces- 
sion to Yunnan-Fu, in the center of that 
province, which is one of the richest in the 
Chinese empire. This road ending in French 
territory will be of inestimable value to 
France from a commercial point of view. 

Of course Great Britain must have con- 
cessions In the south to equal those of 
Prance, as she had In the north to offset 
such as had been granted to Russia and 
Germany. The result was that China leased 
to Great Britain, for ninety-nine years, 
about 200 square miles of territory on the 
mainland north of Hongkong, taking in 
parts of Mirs bay on the east and Deep bay 
on the west, as well as the Island of Lan- 
tao. 

While the partition of China Is yet In Its 
infancy. It Is plainly to be seen that so far 
British diplomacy and influence have been 
more than a match for Russian ambition, 
German greed and French aggression, much 
as those nations have already secured from 
China. No nation in Europe has been more 
fully aware of the Inherent weakness of 
China than Great Britain, and the main de- 
sire she has had has been to strengthen her 
hold on the trade of the fabulously rich 
valley of the Yang-tse-KIang, which em- 
braces nearly one-half of the valuable area 
of the empire. The river Is 3,350 miles in 
length, and drains, with Its tributaries, 
nearly 800,000 square miles of territory, 
while they together furnish a system of In- 
land waterways about 12,000 m'les In length. 
The eastern portion of this ricb valley, the 
province of Szechnen, borders British Bar- 
ma. This entire valley is under British in- 
fluence, while the footholds Great Britain 
has at Wei-Hai-Wei and Hongkong give 
her practically the control of the mouth of 
that mighty stream. With railroads enter- 
ing this open back door of China, Szechnen, 
Great Britain can control the trade of the 
entire Yang-tse basin for Its whole distance. 
In the northern provinces of Shansi and 
Honan there are immense deposits of coal, 
and these are controlled by an Anglo-Italian 
syndicate which has railroad concessions of 
great value and Importance. This, with the 
financial obligations of China to Great 
Britain, gives the latter an Influence that 
cannot be overlooked id the discussion of 
any plan proposed for the dismemberment of 
the Chinese empire. 



TEE PAETinON OF AFRICA. 



The scramble among the nations of Europe 
for colonial possessions in Africa is of com- 
paratively recent origin. While the earliest 
explorations began in 1553, when a body of 
British merchants sent out in search of 
trade a few vessels to Guinea, there was no 
thought of anything more than an effort to 
find a new market for English productions. 
It was more than forty years later, in 1595, 
that the Dutch followed the English mer- 
chants in the attempt to establish a trading 



station on the coast of Guinea. About -the 
same time that the British traders began 
the exploration of the Guinea coast the 
French set out on the same errand and 
located at what is now known as French 
Guinea. Thus at the beginning of the 
seventeenth century nearly all the portions 
of Africa that were held by the nations of 
Europe were the three divisions of the coast 
of Guinea that were known respectively as 
British. French and Dutch Guinea.

THE WORLD'S PRODUCTION OF WINE.

Even at the end of that century England 
and France were the principal rivals for 
African trade, but at the close of the 
French wars France had lost nearly all her 
possessions in Africa as well as elsewhere. 
In this war Great Britain acquired tlie 
ascendency in African affairs, which she 
stubbornly held for 200 years. Leaving the 
coast, England pushed into the interior, 
while France annexed Algeria, Senegambla 
and Sierra Leone. Generally the partition 
of Africa went on slowly and peaceably, 
and it was not until the Brussels confer- 
ence in 1878 that the unrestrained scramble 
began that has resulted in the division of 
the entire continent among the different 
nations of Europe. Thus in 1876, while 
Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal 
had located colonies on the coast of Africa, 
the interior was held by the wild tribes that 
occupied it against all foreign aggression. 
The Berlin conference in 1876 was the time 
at which the energetic division of the con- 
tinent was inaugurated, and at the close of 
1890 of the 11,900,000 square miles of ter- 
ritory composing the continent of Africa 
only some 1,600,0^0 remained open to seizure 
by the nations of Ehirope. There were 
even then some conflicting claims that had 
not been settled, as the conflicts between 
French, German and British interests on 
the Niger clearly testified. But these, to- 
gether with the disputes between Portugal 
and England in the upper Zambesi, have 
been decided, or are in process of amicable 
settlement, and it is mainly the claims 
that arise ont of the British occupation of 
Egypt and the Sudan that still appear to 
threaten war. 

The following table shows the possessions 
held by each of the European nations, the 
area of each and the estimated population:

may be roughly estimated as follows: Great 

Britain, 2,250,000 square miles: France, 
3,500,000; Germany, 890,000; Portugal, 900,- 
000; Italy, 600,000, and Spain, 250,000. Be- 
sides these possessions there are the Congo 

Free State, 850,000 square miles; Liberia, 

37,000; the Boer republics, 162,640, and un- 
appropriated territory, 1,600,000.

THE CUBAN REVOLT.

tban one In this little space, the commonest 
sanitary provisions are Impossible. Condi- 
tions are unmentionable in this respect. 
Tom from their homes, with foul earth, fonl 
air, fool water and foul food, or none, what 
wonder that one-half have died and that 
onc^-guarter of the living are so diseased 
that they cannot be savea! 

"Of tne hospitals I need not speak. 
Others have described their condition far 
better than I can. It is not within the nar- 
row limits of my vocabulary to portray it. 
I went to Cuba with a strons conviction 
that the picture had been overdrawn; that 
a few cases of starvation and suffering had 
Inspired and stimulated the press corre- 
spondents, and they had given free play to a 
BtroncT, natural and highly cultivated imag- 
ination. What I saw I cannot tell so that 
others can see it. It must be seen with 
one's own eyes to be realized. The Los 
Pasos hospital in Havana has been recently 
described by one of my colleagues. Senator 
Galllnger, and I cannot say that his picture 
was overdrawn, for even his fertile pen 
coald not do more. He visited it after Dr. 
Lesear, one of Miss Barton's very able and 
eflBcient assistants, had renovated it and 
put in cots. I saw it when 400 women and 
children were lying on the stone floors in an 
indescribable state of emaciation and dis- 
ease, many with the scantiest covering of 
rags— and such rags!— and sick children, 
nalked as they came into the world. And 
the conditions in the other cities are even 
worse 

*'When will the need for this help end? 
Not nntil peace comes and the reconcen- 
trados can go back to their country, rebuild 
their homes, reclaim their tillage plats, 
which quickly run up to brush in that won- 
derful soil and clime, and until they can be 
free from danger of molestation in so doing. 
Until then the American people must in 
the main care for them. It is true that 
the alcaldes, other local authorities and re- 
lief committees are now trying to do some- 
tiling, and desire, I believe, to db the best 
they can. But the problem is beyond their 
means and capacity and the work is one to 
which they are not accustomed." 

No accurate report has been made, and 
probably it is impossible to make one, that 
will give the number of deaths by starva- 
tion that followed Wevler's order for con- 
centrating the non-combatants in the forti- 
fied towns held by the Spanish forces, but 
conservative estimates place the number at 
from 200,000 to 400,000 persons. 

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. 

On the ITth of March the Cuban junta in 
New York issued the following address: 

**To the American People: The frequency 
with which theve have lately appeared in 
the public press suggestions made by ma- 
licious or misinformed individuals that 
Cuba would accept or could be forced to ac- 
cept autonomy, or anything short of inde- 
pendence, has impelled us to make a defi- 
nite and final statement on this subject. 

"From the first our motto has been 'In- 
dependence or death.' We are now more 
^rmly than ever determined to carry out our 
programme. As we will not accept, we will 
not even discuss the proposals of autonomy. 
After three years of the most sanguinary, 
barbarous and uncivilized warfare of mod- 
em times, carried on by Spain, we are 
stronger than ever. It is for us to say what 
wUl satisfy us, not for others. Our Ideals 
and our national htfnor we can confide to 
the keeping of ourselves alone. 

mmmmmtmrnmammmmBmrnaBasBBaBBR 



"I cannot think that the American people 
have forgotten the principle laid down in 
their own declaration of independence, nor 
can I believe that any true American can be 
found who would advise us to forsake the 
ideal of republican government for the mo- 
narchical, even in its most liberal form. 

"There is no way to compel the Cubans 
to accept autonomy except by force of arms. 
We have fought three years, not against 
Spain alone, but against the whole world. 
Not a helping hand was extended to us, no 
country gave us equal rights with Spain. 
The right to arm our people by ptirchasing 
weapons in this country and transporting 
them to Cub^a is admitted, but although en- 

faged in lawful traffic we had to run the 
lockade to get from these shoi-es, and agaiu 
run the gantlet in Cuba. Our ships and 
cargoes were seized, sublected to delay, but 
invariably restored by the slow and costly 
process of the law. Nevertheless we never 
faltered. We always appreciated the fact 
that the sympathy of the American people 
was with us. Spain has proved impotent to 
compel us by force to accept autonomy. 
She now desires the aid of the United 
States to compel us to accept. 
"I cannot believe that the American peo- 

fle would lend themselves to the most 
reacherous and bloodstained monarchy of 
history for such a purpose. Should such 

f»rove to be the case, however, I declare In 
he name of the Cuban people in arms that 
force alone can compel our submission. We, 
who have seen hundreds of thousands of 
our race and families exterminated by slow 
starvation by a cowardly decree of the most 
Inhuman commander of sanguinary Spain, 
will fight against anything but independ- 
ence, no matter who opposes us. 

"If, unfortunately, this incredible pro- 
posal be carried into effect, and American 
bayonets are arrayed against us in our 
struggle for freedom and in aid of the 
Spanish monarchy, we will fight on, sadly 
but determinedly, and let history Judjre 
whether the vanquished had not a purer 
ideal of free institutions than the victors. 
In such case we will be exterminated, but 
future generations will again take up our 
flag and our aspirations and Cuba will yet 
be free. Nor will we ever agree to a truce 
until our independence is established. We 
will continue to flght, as did the Americans 
under Jackson at tne battle of New Orleans, 
even after the treaty of peace is signed, if 
it should be necessary. 

"The Cubans cannot be convinced that 
the United States will ever try to force us 
to remain under the Spanish flag, but I have 
deemed it my duty to appeal to the gener- 
osity, the sympathy and the patriotism of 
the American people, to the end that they 
may understand the justice and firmness ol 
our demand for complete Independence. 

"TOM AS ESTRADA PALMA." 

In the senate several resolutions were in- 
trmluced which expressed the sense of thai 
body upon the Cuban situation. On the 
29th of March the following resolutions were 
offered. Those by Senator Allen (Pop.) oJ 
Nebraska were as follow^ 

"Whereas, The war now and for som< 
time past being waged between the king 
dom of Spain and the Cuban insurgents haf 
fully demonstrated the total inability of th< 
former to subdue the insurgents; and, 

"Whereas, Said war has become one ol

humanity alike demand the speedy cej'sa'

Ity to relieve tbose whom she has thus 
bron^ht to sncb dire distress, and our re- 
peated protests haying been disregarded and 
our efforts of philanthropy haying proved 
muiTalllng; and, 

"Whereas, Firmly convinced that further 
peaceful protest will prove equally in vain 
and that the recognition of the independ- 
ence of the republic of Cuba and armed 
intervention in its behalf by this govern- 
ment will alone be effective for the redress 
of past and the prevention of future wrongs; 
and. 

"Whereas, While regretting the necessity 
—now imperious— for such action, but mind- 
ful of our duty to a neighboring people and 
to humanity, and with a clear consciousness 
as to the Justness of our cause and that our 
action will meet with the approving Judg- 
ment of all civilized peoples; now, there- 
fore, be it 

"Resolved, by the senate and house of 
representatives of the United States of 
America In congress assembled. That the 
independence of the republic of Cuba be 
and the same is hereby recognized, and that 
war against the kingdom of Spain be and 
the same is hereby declared, and that the 
president is hereby authorized and directed 
to employ the land and naval forces of the 
United States of America to wage such war 
to success." 

The feeling In the house of representa- 
tives was as pronounced as in the senate, 
although less active. On the 30th of March 
Representative Mahany (R^p.) of New York 
presented the following: 

"Whereas, It has been the immemorial 
spirit of the American republic to foster, 
with due respect to the Just restrictions of 
international obligations, the growth of 
freedom everywhere in the world, and es- 
pecially in the western hemisphere; and, 

"Whereas, The kingdom of Spain has dur- 
ing the last three years failed utterly t'^ 
maintain its dominion in the island of Cuba, 
or to exhibit the attributes of actual sov- 
eignty, either in the conduct of the war or 
the civil administration of the law; and, 

"Whereas, During the same period the 
Cuban insurgents have continuously had 
and victoriously defended nine-tenths of 
Cuban territory; and, 

"Whereas, The war as now prosecuted by 
the Spanish forces in that island dooms un- 
counted thousands of non-combatants — old, 
helpless men, defenseless women and chil- 
dren — to the inconceivable horrors of death 
by starvation; now, therefore, be it 

"Resolved, by the senate and house of 
representatives of the United States of 
America in congress assembled. That the 
American people, impelled bv a solemn 
sense of their duty to humanity and ani- 
mated with a Just regard for the rights of 
a people who have heroically sacrificed and 



nobly battled to be free, do hereby recog- 
nize the republic of Cuba as a free and in- 
dependent state and welcome her to the sis- 
terhood of republics In the western world." 

Similar resolutions were offered by Brod- 
erick (Rep.) of Kansas, Wheeler (Demj of 
Alabama, Adamson (Dem.) of Georgia, Todd 
(Pop.) of Michigan and others. 

The result of these resolutions was a con- 
ference committee of the two houses of con- 
gress, when the following preamble and 
resolutions were agreed upon and adopted 
April 19, 1898: 

"Whereas, The abhorrent conditions 
which have existed for more than three 
years in the island of Cuba, so near our 
own borders, have shocked the moral sense 
of the people of the United States, have 
been a disgrace to Christian civilization, 
culminating, as they have, in the destruc- 
tion of a United States battleship, with 266 
of its officers and crew, while on a friendly 
visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot 
longer be endured, as has been set forth 
by the president of the United States in 
his message to congress, April 11, 1898, upon 
which the action of congress was invited; 
therefore, 

"Resolved, by the senate and house of 
representatives of the United States of 
America in congress assembled: 

"1. That the j^eople of the island of Cuba 
are, and of right ought to be, free and in- 
dependent. 

^^2. That It Is the duty of the United 
States to demand, and the government of 
the United States does hereby demand, that 
the government of Spain at once relinquish 
its authority and government in the island 
of Cuba and withdraw Its laud and naval 
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. 

"3. That the president of the United 
States be, and he hereby is, directed and 
empowered to use the entire land and naval 
forces of the United States, and to call into 
the actual service of the United States the 
militia of the several states, to such an ex- 
tent as may be necessary to carry these 
resolutions into effect. 

"4. That the United States hereby dis- 
claims any disposition or intention to exer- 
cise sovereignty. Jurisdiction or control over 
said Island, except for the pacification 
thereof; and asserts its determination, 
when that Is accomplished, to leave the gov- 
ernment and control of the island to its peo- 
ple." 

Adopted by Senate— Yeas, 42; nays, 35. 

Adopted by House— Yeas, 310; nays, 6. 

This brings the record of the Cuban revolt 
down to the time when the patriots' cause 
was espoused by the United States and the 
war bin was passed by congress pursuant to 
the request of the president, as conveyed in 
his message to congress bearing date April 
25, 1898. 



THE SPANISH-AMERIOAir WAS. 



In his message to congress, transmitted on 
the 6th of December, 1^97, the president re- 
viewed the history of the relations subsist- 
ing between the united States and the gov- 
ernment of Spain in which the island of 
Cuba was involved for the last seventy-five 
or eighty years. This message may be 
found in The Dally News Almanac for 1898, 
page 216. 

The war with Spain was not Inspired on 
the part of this country either by a spas- 
modic outburst of sympathy for the Cuban 
patriots or by a sudden resentment against 



Spain for her efforts to force the suffering 
Insurgents again Into a condition worse 
than that of servitude. Nor was It encour- 
aged by the American people against a na- 
tion their inferiors in every way with the 
expectation or hope of acquiring territorial 
or financial gain or benefit. For more than 
half a century the people of the United 
States had witnessed the almost continuous 
efforts of the Cubans to free themselves 
from a government wholly infamous and 
universally detested by the vast majority of 
the inhabitants of the island. They had

monition. The result was that in 1871 a 
large portion of the rebel forces In central 
Cuba laid down their arms. Gen. Agra- 
monte, howeyer, refused to do so, and, with 
his cavalry as a nucleus, he organized an 
army and kept up the war for two years un- 
til he was killed. In 1873 Cespedes, who had 
been chosen president of the republic of 
Cuba by the provisional congress, waS de- 
posed and Cisneros was chosen in bis place. 
Cespedes was later killed by the Spaniards. 
In a desultory way the war was continued 
until 1878, when Gen. Martinez Campos on 
behalf of Spain brought it to a close by 
promises of concessions and reforms, and 
a treaty of peace was entered into near Kl 
Zanjon in February of that year. In this 
ten years of war Spain employed 235,298 
men, of whom 81,098 died or were killed. 
No one of the promises made by Gen. Cam- 
pos, as a condition for the surrender of the 
rebels, was ever kept. 

The Virginius aflMiir did more than any 
previous incident to arouse the American 
people against Spain. The Virginius was a 
blockade-running steamer that was taken 
during our civil war and sold as b prize. 
She was purchased by an American end 
given an American register. While cruising 
in Caribbean waters she was captured by 
the Spanish gunboat Tornado, Oct. 31, 1873, 
and taken into the port of Santiago de C?uba. 
She had on board 165 persons, some of Whom 
were British and others American subjects. 
The men were immediately tried, and before 
Ny>v. 8 six British and thirty Americans had 
been shot. Further executions were pre- 
vented by the arrival of the British warship 
Niobe, commanded by Sir Lambton Lorraine, 
who threatened to bombard the city if the 
executions were not stopped. The United 
States government took the case in hand 
and instructed Gen. Sickles, our minister at 
Madrid, to demand satisfaction from Spain 
for the outrage. It . was not until Gen. 
Sickles had demanded his passports from 
the Danish government that an arrange- 
ment was effected. The result was that on 
the 19th of December, 1873, the Virginius 
and the surviving crew were surrendered to 
the United States and the sum of $80,000 
was paid by Spain as an indemnity to the 
American families who had suffered by the 
killing of their members. This brings the 
story of Cuba's efforts for freedom and 
America's connection therewith down to the 
revolution that broke out in February, 1895. 
It is unnecessary to go over the events of 
this revolt, as they have been given in de- 
tail In The Daily News Almanac for the 
years 1896, 1897, 1898 and in the present 
volume. 

The devotion of the Cubans to their cause, 
the brutcllty end inhumanity with which 
the peaceable inhabitants of the island have 
been treated and the inability of our gov- 
ernment to induce Spain to adopt reforms in 
the island that would be acceptable to the 
Cnbans made intervention a duty the United 
States could not evade. It is possible that 
war might have been avoided had not a 
Domber of unfortunate circumstances pre- 
vented. The bitterness in Havana against 
this country, the Insulting procrastination 
with which Spain treated every attempt of 
the United States to bring about an amica- 
ble settlement of existing difficulties, the 
avowed determination of Weyler to depopu- 
late the island by starving the non-comba- 
tants, regardless of sex or age, and the 
■acriflce of all American interests in Cuba 



aroused the people of this country to 
pitch of feeling that was wholly new ar 
irresistible. 

The first event after the beginning of tl 
new year (1898) to seriously disturb the pul 
lie mind was the publication of a lett( 
written by Senor de Lome, the Spanii 
minister at Washington, to Jose Canaleja 
which contained very insulting and depr 
catory references to **3e president. Th 
letter was given out hy the Cuban Junta at 
published Feb. 8, 1898. Literally translate 
it was as follows: 

"Legation de Eapana, Washington.— Exln 
SenorDon Jose Canalejas— My Dlstinguishc 
and Dear Friend: You need not apologia 
for not having written to me. I also ougl 
to have written to you, but have not dor 
so on account of being weighed down wit 
work and nous sommes quittes. 

"The situation here continues unchange< 
Everything depends on the political an 
military success in Cuba. The prologue < 
this second method of warfare will end ti 
day that the colonial cabinet will be a] 
pointed, and it relieves us In the eyes ( 
this country of a part of the responsibilit 
for what may happen there, and they mus 
cast the responsibility upon the Cubani 
whom they believe to be so Immaculate. 

"Until then we will not be able to s€ 
clearly, and I consider it to be a loss ( 
time and an advance by the wrong road, tt 
sending of emissaries to the rebel field, tli 
negotiating with the autonomists not yt 
declared to be legally eonstituted and tt 
discovery of the intentions and purpose ( 
this government. The exiles will return on 
by one, and when they return will com 
walking into tne sheepfold, and the chiel 
will gradually return. Neither of these ha 
the courage to leave en masse, and they wl 
not have the courage to thus return^ 

"The message has undeceived the insui 
gents, who expected something else, and ha 
paralyzed the action of congress, but I cor 
slder it h&d. Besides the natural and ii 
evitable coarseness with which he repeat 
all that the presa and public opinion c 
Spain has said of Weyler, it shows one 
more what McKinley is, weak and caterln 
to the rabble, and besides, a low politiclai 
who desires to leave a door open to me an 
to stand well with the Jingoes of his partj 

"Nevertheless, as a matter of fact, it wi 
only depend on ourselves whether he wi 
prove bad and adverse to us. I agree er 
tirely with you, without a military sucees 
nothing will be accomplished there, an 
without military and political success ther 
is here always danger that the insurgent 
will be encouraged, If not by the goveri 
ment, at least by part of the public opinior 

"I do not believe you pay enough attentio 
to the role of England. Nearly all tlia 
newspaper canaille which swarms in you 
hotel are English, and at the same tim 
that they are correspondents of the Journs 
they are also correspondents of the bes 
newspapers and reviews of London. Thus 1 
has been since the beginning. To my min 
the only object of England is that th 
Americans should occupy themselves wit 
us and leave her In peace, and if there is 
war, so much the better; that would furthe 
remove what is threatening her — althoug 
that will never happen. 

"It would be most Important that yo 
should agitate the question of commerci£ 
relations, even though it would be only fo

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899. 



effect that only one explosion occurred; that 
DO bolamn of water was thrown into the air; 
that no shock to the side of the nearest ves- 
sel was felt, nor on land was any vibration 
noticed, and that no dead fish were found. 

"The evidence of the senior pilot of the 
harbor states that there is abundance of fish 
In the harbor, and this Is corroborated by 
other witnesses. The assistant engineer of 
wotks states mat after the explosions made 
during the execution of works in the harbor 
he has always found dead fish. 

'*The divers were unable to examine the 
bottom of the Maine, which was buried in 
the mud, but a careful examination of the 
sides of the vessel, the rents end breaks, in 
which all point outward, shows without a 
doubt that the explosion was from the in- 
side. 

"A minute examination of the bottom of 
the harbor around the vessel shows abso- 
lutely no sign of the action of a torpedo, 
and the fiscal (judge-advocate) of the com- 
mission can find no precedent for the ex- 
Elosion of the vtorage magazines of a vessel 
y a torpido. 

"The report makes clear that, owing to 
the special nature of the proceedings fol- 
lowed and the absolute respect shown for 
the extra-territorlality of the Maine, the 
commission has been prevented from making 
such an examination of the Inside of the 
vessel as would determine even the hypothe- 
sis of the internal origin of the accident. 
This l0 to be attributed to the regrettable 
refusal to permit of the necessary co-opera- 
tion of the Spanish commission both with 
the commander and crew of the Maine and 
the different American oSclals commis- 
sioned to investigate the causes of the ac- 
cident and later on with those employed in 
salvage work. 

**The report finishes by stating that an ex- 
amination of the inside and outside of the 
Maine as soon as such examination may be 
possible, as also of the bottom where the 
vessel rests, will prove that, supposing the 
remains [of the wreck] not to be totally or 
partially altered in the process of extrac- 
tion, the explosion was undoubtedly due to 
some interior cause." 

There was only one opinion In the United 
States regarding the responsibility for the 
loss of the Maine. The American people, 
while not asserting that the act was one of 
treachery on the part of the Spanish gov- 
ernment, did believe that without complic- 
ity on the part of Spanish officials at Movro 
castle the vessel would not have been 
blown up by mines operated by electric bat- 
teries located within that fortification. As 
indicating the sentiment at foreign capitals 
the plea for peace made by six of the rep- 
resentatives of the leading governments of 
Europe was significant. 

On the 5th of April Consul-General Lee 
was directed to leave Havana and return to 
the United States, closing the American 
consulate in that city. This he did on the 
10th Inst., turning over the affairs of this 

Sovernment to the British consul. This was 
eemed necessary on account of the threat- 
ening attitude of the Spaniards of the city, 
and the president believed that the life of 
the consul-general was in danger, en opin- 
ion which all the American residents in 
Cuba shared. 

On the 7th of April, 1898, several diplo- 
matic officials met at the British embassy 
shortly before noon and proceeded to the 



president's mansion and the department of 
state. The party was made up as follows: 

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas- 
sador, dean of the diplomatic corps. 

M. Cambon, the French ambassador, and 
M. Thiebaut, first secretary of the French 
embassy. 

Dr. Von Holleben, the German ambas- 
sadcHT, with Baron Speck von Stemburg, 
first secretaiT of the German embassy. 

Mr. HengelmuUer, the Austrian minister. 

Count Vinci, the Italian charge d'affaires. 

l^r. de Wollant, the Russian charge 
d'affaires. 

Arriving at the white house they were 
ushered into the bine room and there were 
received by President McKinley. After a 
social exchange and mutual well wishes Sir 
Julian Pauncefote «aid: 

"Mr. President: We have been commis- 
sioned by the great powers of Europe, whom 
we represent here to-day, to i^pproach your 
excellency with a message of friendship and 
peace at the present critical Juncture in the 
relations between the United States and 
Spain, and to convey to yon the sentiments 
expressed in the collective note whicli I 
have the honor to place in your hands." 

The British ambassador then handed to 
President McKinley the collective note of 
the powers, which reads as follows: 

"The undersigned, representatives of Ger- 
many, Austria-Hungary, France, Great 
Britain, Italy and Russia, duly authorized 
in that behalf, address, in the name of their 
respective governments, a pressing appeal 
to the feelings of humanity and moderation 
of the president and of the American people 
in their existing differences with Spain. 
They earnestly nope that further negotia- 
tions will lead to an agreement which, 
while securing the maintenance of peace, 
will afford all necessary guaranties for the 
re-establishment of order in Cuba. 

"The powers do not doubt that the hu- 
manitarian and purely disinterested char- 
acter of this representation will be fully 
recognized and appreciated by the American 
nation." 

President McKinley then handed to Sir 
Julian Pauncefote the answer of the United 
States, as follows: 

"The government of the United States 
recognizes the good will which has prompted 
the friendly communication of the repre- 
sentatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary, 
France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia, as 
set forth In the address of your excellencies, 
and shares the hope therein expressed that 
the outcome of the situation in Cuba may 
be the maintenance of peace between the 
United States and Spain by affording the 
necessary guaranties for the re-establish- 
ment of order in the island, so terminating 
the chronic condition of disturbance there 
which so deeply injures the interests and 
menaces the tranquillity of the American 
nation by the character and consequences of 
the struggle thus kept np at our doors, be* 
sides shocking its sentiment of hunmni^. 

"The government of the United States ap- 
preciates the humanitarian and disinter- 
ested character of the communication now 
made on behalf of the powers named, and 
for its part is confident that equal appre- 
ciation will be shown for its own earnest 
and unselfl^ endeavors to fulfill a duty to 
humanity by ending a situation the indefi- 
nite prolongation of which has become in- 
sufferable."^

the Spanish fleet, coDSiating of the Reina 
Crlatioa, Castilla, Don Antonio de Ulioa, 
Isla de Luzon. Isla de Cuba, Gen. Lezo, Mar- 
quis de Duero, Cano, Velaseo, Isla de Min- 
danao, some small gunboats and a tvans- 
port. The American ships opened a heavy 
fire on the Spanish yessels. The total ton- 
nage of the American fleet was 19,098 tons 
and that of the Spanish real fighting ships 
was 8,722 tons. The result of the battle was 
the entire destruction of all the Spanish ves- 
sels and the silencing of the land batteries. 
Commodore Dewey did not lose a ship nor a 
man, while the Spanish lost their entire 
fleet and from 600 to 700 men. 

2. Commodore Dewey cut the cable com- 
munications between Manila and Hongkong, 
destroyed the fortifications at the entrance 
of Manila bay and took possession of the 
naval station at Cavite. He demanded the 
surrender of the city of Manila, which was 
refused. 

4. The vessels of Rear-Admiral Sampson^s 
fleet, consisting of the flagship New York 
and the battleships Iowa and Ipdiana, the 
monitor Puritan, .the cruisers Cincinnati, 
Detroit and Marblehead, and the torpedo 
boat Mayflower, sailed from Key West, 
coaled, for a long voyage. 

6. The French steamer Lafayette was cap- 
tured while attempting to run the blockade 
at Havana. 

7. Commodore Dewey was promoted to be 
rear-admiral and given the thanks of con- 
gress. 

11. Spanish gunboats and shore batteries 
attacked the blockading vessels Wilmington, 
Hudson and WInslow at Cardenas, disabling 
the WInslow. Ensign Bagley and four sail- 
ors were killed and Lieut. Bemadou and two 
others wounded. Bagley was the first offi- 
cer killed in the war. The cable at Clen- 
fuegos was cut by American sailors and one 
was killed. The first land fight of the war 
took place at the harbor of Port Cabanas. 
The transport steamer Gussle, carrying 
members of the 1st infantry, made a tem- 

gorary landing and had a brush with the 
panlsh troops. 

12. A portion of the fleet under Admiral 
Sampson bombarded the batteries defending 
San Juan, Puerto Rico, inflicting great dam- 
age and losing two men. The Spanish 
squadron was sighted at Martinique, Wind- 
ward islands. 

18. The fleet known as the ''flying squad- 
ron," under Commodore Schley, consisting 
of the cruiser Brooklyn, the battleships 
Texas and Massachusetts, the dispatch boat 
Scorpion and a collier, sailed from Hampton 
Roads. 

14. The Spanish squadron was reported to 
be off the Venezuelan coast, near Curacoa. 

16. The entire Spanish cabinet resigned. 

16. A new military department of the Pa- 
cific created, including the Philippines, and

THE ISLAND OF CUBA. 



123 



THE ISLAITD OF CUBA. 



The island of Cuba was discovered by 
Columbus on bis first voyage, Oct. 28, 1492, 
and settled by Velasquez in 1511-12. It is 
the largest of tbe Antilles and lies between 
20 and 23 degrees north latitude and 74 and 
85 degrees of longitude west of Greenwicb. 
The western portion is about 130 miles soutb 
of Florida and alwut ninety miles from Key 
West, and from time iumiemorial it has 
been known as "the key to the Gulf of 
Mexico." On the coat of arms of the city 
)f Havana is a key conspicuously dlsplayea, 
wbich seems to imply that the city controls 
tbe waters in which it is so centrally lo- 
cated. Tbe northern coast has a length of 
about 918 miles indented with thirty-two 
harbors, of which ten are denominated as 
"first class." The most important of these 
are Havana, Mariel, Cabanas, Bahia Honda, 
Matanzas, Cardenas, Sagua, Caibarlen. Nue- 
vitas and Jibara. The southern coast has a 
length of 972 miles, with twelve important 
harbors, tbe best of which are Guantanamo, 
Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos. Most of 
the important harbors of the island are 
spacious and will admit vessels drawing 
twenty-six feet of water. 



cleanliness is practically unknown. The 
following table, prepared by W. F. R. Phil- 
lips of the United States weather bureau, 
shows the average monthly temperature acu 
rainfall at Havana for the last ten years. 

At Matanzas the temperature is slightly 
higher than at Havana and at Santiago de 
Cuba the annual average is about 4 degrees 
higher than at the capital city. At Havana 
tbe maximum temperature is between noon 
and 2 o'clock p. m. and the minimum be- 
tween dawn and sunrise. 

There are only two marked seasons in 
Cuba, the dry and the rainy. The rainy sea- 
sou at Havana begins in the latter part of 
May and ends with October. Relatively the 
greater bulk of the rain falls during the 
mouths from June to October, for during 
this period tbe average rainfall is 32.37 
inches, or 63 per cent of the annual fall. 
The number of days upon wbich rain fallb 
is about one day out of three. Notwith- 
standing tbe frequency of rain during thb 
summer months they do not present the 
greatest number of cloudy days. The rains, 
"although copious, are of short duration, 
and those days on which showers do fall

Tbe exact area of the Island has not been 
determined. Estimates vary from about 
35,000 to 72,000 square miles. At tbe lower 
estimate Cuba would be about equal in size 
to the state of Indiana and a little larger 
than the state of Maine. At the larger esti- 
mate it would exceed somewhat the state of 
North Dakota. Through the Island from 
east to west extends a chain of mountains 
the highest of which is about 8,000 feet. 
The territory is well supplied with streams, 
there being more than 200 rivers, the most 
important of which is tbe Cauto in the 
province of Santiago de Cuba, which is 150 
miles long and navigable for small craft for 
fifty miles. Another large stream is the 
Bagua, in the province of Santa Clara, which 
is HI miles long and has twelve miles of 
navigable channel. 

As a role the climate of Cuba is healthful, 
especially in tbe rural districts in the east 
and center of the island. There arc Home 
localities where malarial fevers prevail and 
in many of the cities yellow fever, but this 
is connned mainly to towns in which the 
sanitary conditions are bad and where 



are in general perfectly cloudless. It may 
almost be said that during these months m. 
clouds are to be seea in the atmosphere 
except while the showers are falling, while 
in other months cloudy days sometimeb 
occur without rain." 

According to an oflScial census taken in 
1890 the population of Cuba was then 
1,631,687. For years Cuba has been the 
theater of war and grreat mortality and dev- 
astation have occurred. An oflScial state- 
ment made by our government says: 

"It may be assumed that the present popu- 
lation is not in excess of the figures ot 
1890 and it may be considerably lower. It 
has been estimated that, taking as a basis 
the kingdom of Belgium (482 inhabitants to 
tbe square mile), Cuba could support 24,000,- 
000 people. Of the population in 1890 the 
percentages, according to race, were: 
Whites, 65; colored and Chinese, 35. The 
actual number of white Cubans was given 
at 950,000; colored Cubans, 500,000, and 
Spaniards, 160,000." 

In a report made to the government in 
1897 by Mr. Hyatt, United States consul at 



124 



CHICAGO DAILY NBWS ALMANAC FOR 1809. 



Santiago de Cuba, he says: "The produc- 
tive soil, mineral wealth and climatic con- 
ditions of the island entitle it to rank 
among the foremost communities of the 
world. The soil is a marvel of richness and 
fertiliEers are seldom used, unless in the 
case of tobacco, even though the same crops 
be grown on the same land for a hundred 
years, as has happened in some of the old 
sugar-cane fields. The mountains are of 
coral formation, while the lowlands of 
eastern Cuba at least seem to be composed 
largely of fossils of sea matter from pre- 
historic times and are extremely rich in 
lime and phosphate, which accounts for 
their apparent Inexhaustibleness. Although 
founded and settled more than fifty years 
before the United States, Cuba has still 
13,000,000 acres of primeval forests; mahog- 
any, cedar, logwood, redwood, ebony, lig- 
num-vitse and caigruaran (which is more 
durable in the ground than iron or steel) are 
among the woods. 

"If all the land suitable to the growth of 
sugar cane were devoted to that Industry 
it is estimated that Cuba might supply the 
entire western hemisphere with sugar. The 
island has already produced in a single 
year for export 1,000,000 tons and its capa- 
bilities have only been in the experimental 
stage. The adaptability of the soil for to- 
bacco culture has long been known. Cuba 
takes great pride in the quality of her cof- 
fee and until the war the plantations were 
flourishing." 

The land is not suited to the cultivation 
of cereals. No flour mill, Mr. Hyatt thinks, 
exists on the island. The consul continues: 

"In mineral wealth Cuba is capable of 
taking high rank. Gold and silver nave not 
been found in paying quantities. Uopper 
was mined at Cobre by the natives before 
Columbus discovered the Island and there 
is strong proof that native copper was 
carried across to Florida and used by the 
Florida Indians hundreds of years ago. 
The mound-builders of that state buried 
with their dead copper ornaments and uten- 
sils hammered from native copper, which 
always has an admixture of more or less 
foreign matter. As no copper ore is found 
in Florida or in the United States for a 
long distance from there, and as that found 
in the United States or in Mexico does not 
correspond chemically with that burled with 
the mound-builders, it occurred to Prof. 
R. H. Sanders of the Academv of Natural 
Sciences in Philadelphia that it was possi- 
ble that these mound-builders had water 
communication with Cuba and got their 
copper from here. He therefore communi- 
cated with the writer and procured a sam- 
ple of native Cuban copper, which proved 
upon analysis to be identical with that used 
in the copper ornaments mentioned. In the 
early part of the present century some 
English capitalists purchased these mines, 
which are nine miles from Santiago. The 
books of this consulate show that from 1828 
to 1840 an average of from $2,000,000 to 
$3,000,000 worth of copper ore was shipped 
annually to the United States from tnese 
mines. How much was shipped elsewhere 
I have not the means of knowing. 

**The iron mines of Cuba, all of which 
are located near Santiago, overshadow in 
importance all other industries on the east- 
em end of the island, constituting the only 
industry that has made any pretense of 
withstanding the shock of the present insur- 
rection. The Juragua and Baiqulri Iron 



companies (American), with a combined 
capital of over $6,000,000, now operate mlne.^ 
in this vicinity and employ from 800 to 1,400 
men, shipping to the United States from 
80,000 to &0,000 tons of iron ore per month, 
the largest portion of which is used at 
Bethlehem, Steelton, Sparrows Point and 
Pittsburg. The ore of these mines is among 
the richest in the world, yielding from 62 to 
67 per cent of pure iron, and is very free 
from sulphur and phosphorus. There are 
numerous undeveloped mines of equal value 
In this region. 

"In the Sierra Maestra range, on the 
southern coast of Cuba, from Santiago west 
to Manzanillo, within a distance of about 
100 miles, are found numerous deposits of 
manganese, an ore indispensable in the 
manufacture of steel. American capital 
opened a mine about twenty miles distant, 
at a place called Ponupo, and built a rail- 
road to it. After shipping one cargo the 
mines were stopped by the insurgents. As 
nearly all the manganese used in the United 
States comes from the Black sea regions of 
Europe and a smaller quantity from the 
northern part of South America, it is but 
reasonable to suppose that the products of 
these near-by mines will be in great aemand 
when the conditions are such that they can 
l>e operated in safety. 

"Railroads and other highways, improved 
machinery and more modern methods of 
doing business are among the wants of 
Cuba, and with the onward march of civili- 
zation these will doubtless be hers in the 
near future. Cuba, like other tropical and 
semi-tropical countries, is not given to 
manufacturing; her people would rather sell 
the products of the soil and mines and buy 
manufactured goods. The possibilities of 
the island are great, while the probabilities 
remain an unsolved problem." 

Regarding the agricultural productions of 
Cuba the Bulletin of the Bureau of Amer- 
ican Republics, published by the United 
States government, says: 

"The great wealth of Cuba lies in the 
wonderful fertility of its soil. It is esti- 
mated that the island has 35,000,000 acres 
of land, but in 1868, according to oflicial 
statistics, only 2,689,400 were under cultiva- 
tion, 9,974,134 acres were utilized in cattle- 
raising and nearly 16,000,000 were still virgin 
forest. Ten years later, after the long in- 
surrection, considerable land was cleared 
and the production of sugar assumed large 
proportions. On the other hand, old lanus 
were abandoned and the acreage was not 
greatly Increased. It may be assumed, 
therefore, that only a small fraction of the 
agricultural wealth of Cuba has been de- 
veloped and that at least 20,000,000 acres of 
land await the application of Industry and 
capital. 

"The principal Industry of Cuba has been 
for many years the cultivation of sugar 
cane and the making of sugar, but this in- 
dustry has suffered In recent years by the 
competition of European beet sugar and the 
internal disorders of the island. With the 
occupation of the island by the United 
States it is more than probable that the 
sugar industry will again revive and become 
remunerative. The great advantage of 
sugar-growing in Cuba is found In the fact 
that the cane reproduces itself, without the 
necessity of resowlng, for ten, fifteen or 
twenty years, according to the nature of the 
soil. The sugar is of superior quality and

the proximity of the island to the United 
States of America is a favoring condition. 
The production of sagar from 1894 to i»a5 
aggregated over 1,000,000 tons. From 1896 to 
1896 it was only 225.000 tons. 

"Cuba has long been famous for the supe- 
riority of its tobacco. Efforts have been 
made to rival the Cuban tobacco in different 
parts of the world, but it seems to hold its 
own as excelling all others. The plant is 
grown in greatest abundance in the western 
part of the island, Vuelta Abajo, and in 
acme localities in the provinces of Santa 
Clara and Santiago de Cuba. Next in rank 
in quality and quantity is the product of the 
district of Manicaragua in the province of 
Santa Clara. The Vuelta Abajo region, 
where the best tobacco on the island is 
raised, has suffered considerably from in- 
surrection and it is believed that the crop 
for 1897 will not exceed 80,000 bales of 110 
pounds — a tenth part, approximately, of the 
ordinary yield. Nearly all the leaf tobacco 
and about half the twist of Cuba is ex- 
ported to the United States. 

* 'Coffee for a long time constituted one of 
the principal products of Cuba, but since 
1845 the development of the coffee product 
of Brazil and other countries, together with 
economic conditions in Cuba, caused the cul- 
tivation to decline and coffee is now raised 
almost exclusively for local consumption. 

"Besides sugar, tobacco and coffee Cuba 
produces all the different classes of fruits 
known to the tropics and many of those 
belonging to the temperate zone. Among 
them are the pineapple, the banana, the 
orange, the mango and the guava. The 
cocoannt is also an important product. TUe 
forest wealth of Cuba is very great and but 
slightly developed. The island is rich in 
cabinet wood, among which the most im- 
portant are mahogany and cedar. Among 
the trees the one most characteristic of 
a Cuban landscape is the palm, of which 
there are thirty-two species. Its wood and 
leaves are employed in the manufacture of 
several articles of trade, including hats and 
baskets. The soil of the island is well 
adapted to the production of all kinds of 
vegetables. The Cuban potato is said to be 
as good as that of Bermuda or Peru and the 
sweet potatoes are of superior quality. 

"The price of Cuban land varies to a con- 
siderable extent. In the wealthy sugar dis- 
tricts 1,000, 1,200 and sometimes 3,000 pesos 
($926, $1,111 and $2,778) was paid per *cabal- 
leria' (about 32.1 acres), but in other sec- 
tions of the island, and especially where 
there are no railway facilities, land could 
be obtained at a nominal price." 

Cuba has several important cities and 
towns. The largest is Havana, the capital, 
situated on the northern coast, and which 
has long been famous for its commerce. The 
city has a population of about 200,000; it is 
the residence of the captain-general and 
other authorities. It is defended by eight 
forts, has a fine navy yard, arsenal, gun 
manufactory, repair shops, barracks and 
hospitals. It has also three large markets, 
twenty-four churches, six theaters, a uni- 
versity, a school' of fine arts, several public 
libraries and many educational institutions. 
It has several manufactories, street-railway 
and omnibus lines, railroads connecting with 
other parts of the Island, gas and electric 
lifting plants and eighty newspapers and 
other periodicals. 

Pinar del Rio, capital of the province of 



the same name, has a population of 30,000. 
It is situated about 136 miles southwest of 
Havana, with which it is connected by a 
railroad. It is noted for the line quality of 
the tobacco grown in its vicinity. 

Matanzas, capital of the province of Ma< 
tanzas, is sixty-six miles east of Havana 
and has a population of 56,000. It is famous 
for its proximity to the Bellamar caves and 
the valley of the Yumuri. 

Cardenas is ninety miles east of Havana 
and is a commercial port of importance, it 
has a population of 23,000. 

Santa Clara, 216 miles east of the capital, 
with which it is connected by rail^ has a 
population of 32,000. 

Sagua la Grande, eighty miles east of Ha- 
vana, is situated on the river of the same 
name, seven miles from its mouth, and has 
a population of 18,000, 

Cienfuegos, in the province of Santa Clara, 
is situated on the southern coast of the 
island, on the fine bay of Jagua, and is a 
thriving center of trade. It is about 100 
miles southeast of ±iavana and has 40,000 
inhabitants. In the same province are 
Trinidad, with 29,000 inhabitants; Sancti 
Espiritu, 20,000, and San de los Uemedlos, 
15,000. 

Puerto Principe, capital of that province, 
some 200 miles east of Havana, has 49,000 
inhabitants. 

Santiago de Cuba is the capital of the 
province in which it is situated, has a 
population of about 50,oOO and one of the 
finest harbors on the southern coast. It has 
a number of important buildings and at one 
time was. the capital of the island. It is a 
noted city, but in the future it will be best 
known because of its capitulation to the 
American army of invasion on the 14th of 
July, 1898. In the same province are the 
important towns of Manzanillo, Bayanao. 
Jiguani, Holguin, Jibara, Cuantanamo and 
Baracoa. 

There are ten railway companies operating 
lines of road In Cuba, the more Important 
being the Ferrocarriles Unidos, witn 1,000 
miles of main road connecting Havana with 
Matanzas, Batabano, Union and Quanajay. 
The next In importance is the Western rail- 
way, ninety-six miles long, running to Pinar 
del Rio. 

The telegraph and telephone systems in 
Cuba belong to the government, but the lat- 
ter is farmed out for a limited number of 
years to a company called the Red Tele- 
fonica de la Habana. Nearly all the public 
and private buildings In the city and sub- 
urbs are connected by telephone. The 
Statesman's Year Book, 1898, says that 
there are 2,300 miles of telegraph line with 
153 ofHces. 

Under the Spanish administration Cuba 
was divided into three regions— the western, 
central and eastern. Each region comprises 
two provinces, divided into several Judicial 
districts, and these again subdivided into 
municipal sections. The western region 
embraces the provinces of Pinar del Rio and 
Havana, the central comprises the provinces 
of Matanzas and Santa Clara and the east- 
ern provinces are made up of Puerto Prin- 
cipe and Santiago de Cuba. The capital of 
the Island is the city of Havana, . 

Prior to 1898 the island was governed by a 
governor and captain-general, appointed by 
the Spanish crown, who Is the superior po- 
litical, military and economic chief. Each 
of the six provinces was administered by a

THE PHUIFPINE ISLANDS. 



There are few portiODS of the globe con- 
cerning which less Is accurately known 
than that dlTlsion which is embraced 
within what is commonly called the Philip- 
pine archipelago. The Spanish occu- 
pants of the territory have been op- 
posed to the development of the islands, 
jind have imposed taxes so onerous on all 
branches of industry that explorations to 
Mcertain what the Islands really contained 
or were capable of producing have been 



limited to incursions prompted more by 
curiosity than for any practical object. 
An English resident has this summer pub- 
lished a pamphlet on the gold productions 
of the Philippines, in which he says: 
"Not five books in the English language are 
worth considering about them [these Is- 
lands]. Crawford^s history of the Indian 
archipelago, published early in this cen- 
tury, is still the student's textbook. 
Whatever has been published since then,

wben it rises above tbe level of a mere 
traveler's tale, is eitber not comprebensire 
or not reliable." 

Tbe arcbipelago lies between 4.40 and 20 
nortb iHitltude and 116.40 and 126.30 east 
longitude. So little is known about tbe 
region tbat writers do not agree as to tbe 
number of islands tbat make up tbe arcbi- 
peiago. A recent writer says: '"I'be num- 
ber of islands wbicb form tbe Fbilippine 
arcbipelago will astonisb many readers. It 
is said to approach 2,000. Tbere are among 
tbem two tbat are larger tban Ireiand— 
namely, Luzon, witb 42,u00, and Mindanao, 
wltb §8,000 square miles. Tbcre are otber 
islands witb 6,600, 5,000. 4,500, 4,000, 3.500 
and 3,000 square miles. ^' Of tbe wbole 
number some 600 are babitable. Wbiie 
tbere is mucb uncertainty regarding tbe 
area of tbe Pbilippines tbcre is as little 
known as to tbe number of inbabltauts tbat 
dwell upon tbem. Mr. Josepb T. Mannix, 
an educated native of Luzon, in an article 
published in June, 1898, says: "There are in 
the Fbllippines between 6,000,000 and 9,000,- 
000 people— probably about 7,500,000. Nearly 
half of this number inhabit Luzon, tbe 
principal island of tbe group." Of these 
pe says: "The Tagals of Luzon are a cop- 
per-colored people, and, like all people of 
the Malay family, are short of stature. 
These Tagals are the most advanced and 
iubuential element of tbe entire population 
of the islands. There are a great many 
very intelligent and ambitious men among 
tbem — men who got their start in the 
schools established by tbe monastic friars, 
whose political domination furnishes one of 
tbe many grievances which have given rise 
to tbe present rebellion." Tbe Tagals 
number about 2,000,000, and they are rapidly 
increasing. Next to the Tagals In point of 
intelligence come the Vicols, or Bicols, 
who occupy the Gamarines peninsula, with 
the islands of Catanduanes, Burias, Tlcao 
and half of Masbate. They greatly resem- 
ble the Tagals, and, like them, have made 
considerable progress in civilization. They 
number at least 400,000. Tbe third division 
of tbe people are the Visayas, or Bisayas, 
who occupy the islands between Luzon and 
Mindanao, and are estimated at 2,500,000. 
Besides these are the Moors of the Sulu 
archipelago, the Negritos and some otber 
families of tbe Malay race. On the wbole, 
the Philippine natives find and take life 
easily. Tbeir requirements are few. Tbe 
sum of £6 will provide a native household 
witb a dwelling of its own and ample fur- 
niture. Under a genial climate, on a soil 
lavishly grateful for the slightest tending, 
by waters teeming witb fish, they know 
naught of hunger and have mucb time left 
for amusements — such as dancing and pub- 
lic rejoicings on tbe smallest occasion, 
music, for which thev have a natural 
talent, so that there is scarcely a com- 
mune without a fairly trained brass band— 
and gambling! Oockfighting is tbe national 
sport and no mean soarce of revenue to tbe 
authorities. Almost every native owns a 
fighting fowl, which Is as dear to him as 
her lap dog is to a European lady. He car- 
ries it about witb him and bets bis bottom 
dollar on its performance In the arena. 
Thus the native is an Intermittent rather 
than a steady worker, and his delight in 
feasts and holy days, and bis content, 
which passes bim off as rich In his own 
mind with $10 in his purse, make his as a 
laborer, docile as be Is and willing to 



please, a source of frequent annoyance to 
bis employers. 

Tbe Philippine islands were discovered by 
Magellan, who landed at tbe island of 
Cebu (or Zebu), where be anchored in 
March, 1521, and lost bis life in a skirmish 
witb tbe natives. In 1565 the Islands were 
taken possession of by a fleet from Mexico, 
which first stopped at Cebu and subdued it. 
In 1570 a settlement was effected at tbe 
mouth of tbe Manila river, which place be- 
came tbe capital of tbe Spanish possessions 
in tbe Philippines and has remained so to 
the present time. At tbe time of the ar- 
rival of the Spaniards at Manila tbere were 
two fortified villages, one on either side or 
the Pasig river, and these they took on tbe 
9tb of May, 1571, tbe chiefs making their 
submission to their conquerors, and their 
example was followed ny many of tbe 
tribes of Luzon. Previous to this tbe 
island had been practically under tbe do- 
minion of tbe Chinese, who bad shaken off 
tbe authority of that empire, but these 
people still continued to control the trade 
of tbe island after the Spanish capture. 
A little later a Chinese pirate, Li Ma 
Hong, attempted to drive out tbe Span- 
iards, but failed in tbe attempt wltb the 
loss of bis fleet and bis own life. In 1606 
the Dutch attempted to take the Islands, 
but their ships were destroyed and tbe en- 
terprise failed. In 1762 Manila^ was cap- 
tured by tbe British, and would probably 
have remained a° possession of tbat country 
bad not political conditions in Kurope 
forced England to evacuate tbe city after 
Spain had promised a ransom of $5,000,000, 
wbicb has not been paid to this day. 

Rebellions have been frequent in which 
the people have attempted to rid them- 
selves of Spanish rule. Those of 1822, 1841. 
1842, 1872, 1896 and 1897 have been tbe most 
Important. The revolts have all had a 
common cause — tbe tyranny and exactions 
of tbe Spanish ofllcials. Although tbe 
Spaniards made tbeir appearance forty-four 
years after tbe death of Magellan tbe con- 
quest of the archipelago is still far from 
complete. By an abuse of language tbe 
Pbilippines are mentioned as a Spanish 
colony, but they form in reality only a 
military possession, in which tbe whites 
are mainly officials, who control tbe na- 
tives, but they have founded few perma- 
nent settlements In tbe country. Except at 
Manila there are few towns or villages 
that are Spanish in fact. To extort money 
from the people, under the various forms 
of taxation that cunning and rapacity have 
devised, is, and for many years has been, 
tbe sole purpose of Spain and tbe business 
and object of tbe governmental officials 
tbat have been maintained tbere. 

Upon this subject a recent writer has 
said: "It is no natural or physical disad- 
vantage that accounts for tbe waste and 
neglect of the rich resources of tbe Philip- 
)lnes. These richly endowed islands have 
)een kept In their primitive darkness and 
barbarism by tbe power that should have 
lifted them into the light of civilization 
and set tbem in the flowing stream of 
modern life. Her treatment of them is but 
one count In the long and terrible indict- 
ment that history brings against Spain for 
tbe opportunities she has neglected and 
the trusts she has betrayed. She has re- 
garded her subject peoples in no otber light 
than as sources of revenue for her goT^m- 
ment and her officials, and for that crlm-

inal error, with all its cruel conseqaences, 
she Is paying the penalty to-day. In the 
PhUlpplnes the representative of Spanish 
mle Das been the tax collector. The sys- 
tem that mined the Roman empire was re- 
vived there, a gobernadocillo being ap- 
pointed for each district and held person- 
ally responsible for the taxes. If the re- 
ceipts fell below the estimate he had to 
make np the deficiency; if they exceeded it 
he pocketed the surplus— the result being 
that the last peseta was relentlessly wrung 
tjtom the luckless inhabitants. There were 
poll taxes, taxes on every form of property, 
taxes on all mercantile transactions, taxes 
on every kind of amusement. There were 
taxes on marriages and taxes on funerals. 
In some provinces the native must carry 
his tax receipts with him: if found without 
them he Is liable to arrest and punishment. 
For non-payment— after confiscation of prop- 
erty—were whipping and imprisonment." 
For failure to pay taxes men and women 
alike are subjected to such brutalities as 
the collector can devise, and from his 
Judgments there is no appeal. 

The Philippine Islands are under the su- 
preme charge of a governor-general, who 
resides in Manila, a town of considerably 
more than 800,000 inhabitants, i^mong them 
a goodlv number of British men of busi- 
oess, whose well-appointed club is the cen- 
ter of foreign and social Intercourse. In 
Madrid the interests of the colony are spe- 
cially intrusted to a council of state for 
the Philippines, which acts as an advisory 
body to the minister of the colonies. There 
is also a council of state in Manila, which 
has a voice in questions affecting the mate- 
rial progress of the Islands, which are di- 
Tided into provinces, each under Its gov- 
ernor. The provinces are subdivided Into 
districts, and these again Into communes or 
parishes. The gobernadocillo (little gov- 
ernor) stands on the lowest rung of the 
official ladder, being the elected head of a 
commune, and wearing as the symbol of 
office a stiff, mushroom-shaped hat, re- 
splendent with solid ornaments of sliver 
bullion. In these communes or parishes 
the cure (priest), especially If he be a 
Spaniard, as is generally the case In the 
more Important parishes, exercises supreme 

Eower. He is the father and counselor of 
is people, and helps them not only with 
spiritual advice but also furthers their 
material interests. Many of these Spanish 
curas have done much good work in the 
way of making roads and bridges and the 
building of churches, acting frequently as 
their own engineers and architects, with 
far less unsightly results than one might 
expect from persons who are supposed to be 
more conversant with breviary and rosary 
than with rule and compasses. 

The Spanish priests, friars of strict 
orders, coqie to the islands for aye and 
food, and, with scarcely any exception, do 
their duties faithfully and devotedly. 
Priests of native extraction do not quite 
come up to the high standard of their 
Spanish confratres. They cannot all live 
up to the severity of monastic rules. These 
native curas, moreover, suffer under the 
proverbial disadvantage which affects the 
prophet in his own country, and, lacking 
the strength of mind and tenacity of vow 
of the Spanish priests, sometimes seek con- 
solation In diversions of not quite a clerical 
or monastic character. 
The climate of the Philippines is not 



such as will repel either Americans or 
Europeans. Upon this subjeet Col. W. 
Winthrop of the United States army says: 
"There are two seasons at Manila, the wet 
and the dry, or the seasons of the south- 
west and northeast monsoons. Broadly 
speaking, the wet or rainy season, U8here<} 
in by the southwest monsoon, is from June 
to November; the dry season, when the 
northeast monsoon prevails, is from Novem- 
ber to- June. The divisions are not, how- 
ever, exact or invariable. Thus, in January 
and February north winds are not infre- 
quent, and in March and April winds from 
the southeast sometimes prevail. In the 
beginning of October the winds vary be- 
tween southeast and southwest, settling 
down to northeast by the close of the 
month. In the wet seasons the country Is 
inundated, the roads become impassable 
and bridges disappear. The annual rainfall 
at Manila is variously reported as from 
seventy-five to ninety-one Inches. 

*'The hottest months are April and May; 
the droughts are then long and acci- 
dental fires are to be guarded against; it 
is then that mosquitoes and white ants are 
most troublesome. The coolest months are 
December to February, when the freshness 
is grateful at night. The average tempera- 
ture for the year is about 80 degrees. The 
periods of the changes of the monsoons In 
May to June and in September to October 
are marked by the heaviest blows and 
thunderstorms. Cyclones, typhoons and 
hurricanes then visit the coast. A typhoon 
on Sept. 27, 1866, drove some twenty vessels 
ashore and did great damage to the city of 
Manila. A typhoon or hurricane Oct. ^, 
1875, killed 250 persons and destroyed 8,800 
houses. The hurricanes of these times 
often sweep away crops and destroy plan- 
tations." 

Almost everywhere In the Islands are to 
be seen evidences of gigantic volcanic 
forces, although the number of active vol- 
canoes is small. The volcanoes, active 
and extinct, are grouped in two lines, run- 
ning, approximately, east and west. Eanh- 
quakes are not infrequent and the buildings 
are designed to resist them. The more 
violent seismic disturbances appear to be 
confined to certain centers, among which 
the neighborhood of Manila seems to be 
prominent. In a general sense the direc- 
tion of the chains of mountains is north 
and south, with occasional deflections to 
east and west. The highest mountain in 
the group is Apo, in Mindanao, with over 
9,000 feet, while Halcon, in Mindoro, 
reaches neariv 8,900 feet, and Majon, In 
Luzon, exceeds 8,200 feet. Of the earth- 
quakes Sir John Bowring, an English trav- 
eler, says: "The destructive ravages 
and changes produced by them are nowhere 
more remarkable than in the Philippines. 
They have produced great changes in the 
geography of the Islands. They have over- 
turned mountains, filled up valleys, deso- 
lated extensive plains and opened passages 
from the sea into the interior and from the 
lakes into the sea." He refers to several 
of the most serious earthquakes that have 
been known at the Islands, and to those of 
1796, 1824 and 1828 as especially "calami- 
tous." The most destructive earthquake of 
recent tiroes was that of June, 1863, whiOh 
rendered the city of Manila a mass of 
ruins, in which 400 persons were burled, 
2,000 were injured and property valued at 
$8,000,000 was destroyed.

The soil of the Philippines is of phenom- 
eaal fertility, although its capacities have 
been most imperfectly developed. It Is dif- 
ficult to say what product is a staple, al- 
though the Manila nemp is, perhaps, best 
known in the commerce of the islands. 
This is not a product of the hemp plant, but 
Is the fiber of a species of the banana (musa 
textilis). Where the soil is only slightly 
cultivated the products are: Sugar, hemp, 
tobacco, rice, coffee, cacao, gums qt vari- 
ous kinds, arrowroot, indigo, cotton, pep- 
per, cochineal, betelroot, areca nut, cocoa- 
nuts and cocoanut oil. In the forests grow 
the ebony, bamboo, logwood, rattans and 
numberless other valuable hard woods and 
gum-yielding trees and plants. The Hon. 
John Barrett, late United iStates minister to 
Slam, who is thoroughly acquainted with 
the resources of the Philippines, says that 
"a richer isolated land or group of islands, 
viewed comparatively as to area and popu- 
lation, variety of agriculture, mineral and 
forest resources undeveloped, in addition to 
those already improved, cannot be pointed 
out on the map of the world." 

That the Philippines are fabulously rich 
in deposits of gold is not to be questioned. 
Books are extant that mention gold as the 
chief product of Luton in the third cen- 
tury A. D., and there is no doubt that 
mining of the precious metal was exten- 
sively- practiced in the Islands long before 
the advent of the Spaniards. In a pam- 
phlet written the present year by Mr. 
Frank Karuth, F. R. G. S., entitled "A 
New Center of Gold Production," the au- 
thor says: '^he question is often asked, 
'How is It that so little .is known of Phil- 
ippine gold?' The answer Is simple. There 
is no official control of the output or tax on 
it. The miners live in Isolated districts 
and villages, with rare communication be- 
tween them. And the universal man of 
business is the omnipresent Chinaman, now 
storekeeper, with a fixed abode, now per- 
ambulating peddler, who penetrates the 
most distant settlements, buys the gold 
with his wares and sends it out of the 
country, over to Hongkong or Amoy, or 
elsewhere. It is not his business to swag- 

Ser over the volume of his trade; in fact, 
e keeps it dark. Those who know are 
aware that the gold export is considerable 
and very much exceeds the official compu- 
tation, whatever that may be. 'Paracale' 
gold is well known, in Manila, but few Ma- 
nilese know where Paracale Is, and still 
less have ever visited the place. Yet it is 
a prosperous village, with a good deal of 
trade and a large native mining population. 
* • • The Paracale gold dust is melted 
Into tiny ingots, a small bivalve serving as 
a mold, so that the gold shows the shape 
of the shell. These tiny ingots are tested 
by the Chinese purchaser, the traces of 
whose probing auger are always In evidence 
on the Ingots. Gold is found in many other 
islands of the group. Senor Abella found 
traces of alluvial workings In Cebu. Mln- 
doro, which Is but little known, is said to 
be rich In gold. Panaon, a small island 
north of Mindanao, has at least one well- 
defined vein of auriferous quartz, while 
Mindanao Itself is the center of a consider- 
able trade In alluvial gold. From speci- 
mens brought from that island the occur- 
rence of rich quarts veins cannot be a mat- 
ter of mere conjecture." 

Copper is found in many parts of the 
Philippines, and cupreous pyrites is not 



infrequ^ntly met with accompanying quarts 
veins, but in such small quantities aa to 
exclude all commercial value. In the 
central mountain ranges of Luzon, how- 
ever, between Cagayan and Ilocos, consid- 
erable deposits of copper ore are distrib- 
uted and had been worked by a tribe of 
natives, called Igorrotes, long before ttie 
advent of the Spaniards. They ob- 
tain the ore in excavations which they 
make with the aid of wood fires, thus 
softening the rocks. They separate the ore 
according to quality and roast the poorer 
repeatedly before smelting it. Their fur- 
nace is a cylindrical hole, walled with 
clay, about twelve Inches deep and eight 
inches in diameter, and they use blowers of 
bamboo worked with plungers to producs 
the requisite draft. 

The coal which up to present times has 
been found in the Philippine islands is 
not true coal, but lignite, probably of the 
tertiary period, and of a variety which can 
scarcely be distinguished by the eve from 
true coal. There is no reason why true 
coal should not eventually be found, for it 
is found and worked in Japan, whose geo- 
logical formation has much In common 
with that of the Philippines. There has 
been no systematic search made in these 
islands for coal, and wherever it has been 
found it has betrayed its presence by out- 
crops. Thus, in the island of Masbate, a 
local steamship owner drew his supplies 
from a bed of coal which Is so tilted as 
to have the appearance of a vein. He sup- 
plied himself as long as his native laborers 
COUI4 get the coal with crowbars. An ex- 
pert, who examined this bed cursorily, esti- 
mated the available quantity of coal at 
about 600,000 tons in that particular con- 
cession. He is, however, of opinion that 
very much larger quantities are available 
in adjoining concessions. These mines are 
practically untouched, and as they are sit- 
uated within a few miles of the coast they 
can be worked at a profit by whosoever 
should venture to introduce the necessary 
capital. 

The only coal deposits which hare been 
to a certain extent developed in the Philip- 
pine archipelago, and of which a scientiflc 
and reliable record exists in the shape of a 
report by the chief inspector of mines, 
Senor Enrique Abella y Casariego, are 
those in the Island of Cebu. This report Is 
embodied in a work entitled "Raplda De- 
scrlpcion Flscica, Geologica y Minera de la 
Isla de Cebu (Archipelago Filipino)." 

The coal deposits of Cebu were first ex- 
amined in 1866 by the government mining 
engineer, Senor Hernandez, wlio, witliont 
hesitation, described the coal as "llgnita" 
(lignite). A few years later, however, an- 
other government engineer, Senor Centeno. 
declared the formation in which coal oc- 
curs to belong to the true carboniferous 
system, and proclaimed the discovery of a 
true coal field of large dimensions, the 
eastern rim of which cropped out in the 
island of Cebu, while its western rim 
came to the surface in the island of Negros. 
Analysis proved Senor Centeno to be in the 
wrong, for the contents— or carbon— of the 
coal of Cebu do not exceed 64 per cent, 
against the minimum of 76 per cent, which 
true coal contains. 

The situation of affairs at the Philippines 
at the present time makes it necessary to 
take some notice of the rebellion that broke 
out against the Spanish rule in Augmt, 






THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 



137 



1896. Id 1872 there was an uprising of the 
people, the exciting cause of which was the 
oppresslre taxes, excises, license fees and 
other burdens Imposed upon the people by 
the «>Temment. Not onfy did the natives 
complain of these extortions, but objected 
t6 tne corvee, or forced exactions of forty 
days^ labor, which every man was com- 
pelled to furnish annually to the govern- 
ment. In addition to these complaints the 
natives were still further exasperated by 
the usurious loans to which they were 
obliged to submit, in case they had to raise 
money, and by the confiscation of their 
property in case these loans were not paid 
at maturity. This power of confiscation 
was lodged in the hands of certain officials, 
who used it for the purpose of making still 
greater exactions. To resist these aggres- 
sions a secret revolutionary society was 
formed, the membership of which in Au- 
gust. 189^ was more than 60,000. The basis 
of this league was freemasonry, which had 
been introduced into the islands by the 
Spanish many years before. The army of 
the rebels was Increased by deserters from 
tbs native troops in the Spanish forces, by 
vagabonds, criminals and a large number of 
people wno had lost all their property 
Uunmiffh confiscation upon various pretexts. 
The war that was waged between the Span- 
lards and the rebels was exceedingly bitter, 
neither side giving any quarter to the other. 
It was not war, but savage butchery, in 
which prisoners captured or who surren- 
dered were smothered in dungeons, burned 
alive, disemboweled and put to death in 
other barbarous ways without regard to the 
usages of civil ised warfare. The revolu- 
tionary forces were too strong and too well 
officerjed and armed for the Spanish army to 
subdne, and in December, 1897, Gen. Primo 
de Rivera proposed to Gen Emilio Agul- 
naldo y Femi, tne supreme head of the revo- 
lutionary movement, a cessation of hostili- 
ties between the Insurgents and the Spanish 
forces. A council of tne revolutionary gov- 
ernment was held Dec. 14, 1897, in which 
twenty-four Insurgent chiefs agreed to lay 
down their arms on condition that certain 
reforms were introduced by Spain in the ad- 
ministration of affairs. The insurgents de- 
manded (1) that the Filipinos should have 
representation In the Spanish national par- 
liament, (2) reforms in the land and tax 
S stems of the islands, (3) curtailment of 
e civil powers of the iriars and (4) the 
recall of many of the Spanish officials in 
the Islands with a view to a more honest, 
economical and efficient government. Gen. 
Primo de Rivera agreed to these reforms in 
substance and aiade its condition that the 
principal rebel leaders must leave the coun- 
try diuing his majesty*s pleasure. As these 
leaders had lost all of their property or had 
it c(«flscated and plundered, the government 
agreed to provide them with funds to live 
In a beconung manner on foreign soil. 

The rebels laid dovm their arms and peace 
was apparently secured. But no sooner had 
they done so and returned to their houses 
or retired from the country than the in- 
translgeant religious orders commenced at 
once to again prosecute them and trump up 
imaginary charges to procure their rearrest. 
The Spanish government, on its side, imag- 
ining Itself secure, desisted from carrying 
onttbe promised reforms, thinking another 
trick like that played on the Cubans, after 
the peace arrangement by Martinez Cam- 
pos* my^t succeed. The Filipinos, how- 
ever, mused to be made dupes and took up 



arms again, not alone in the immediate dis- 
tricts around Manila, but throughout the 
archipelago, and early in March, 1898, the 
revolt was as formidable in the province of 
Manila as ever, the rebels having captured 
several Important towns connected by rail 
with the capital, while the inhabitants re- 
fused to pay their taxes or acknowledge 
Spanish authority. Such was the condition 
of affairs in the Philippines at the date of 
the opening of the war betweeen the United 
States and Spain. 

COMMERCE WITH THE PHILIPPINES. 

The following table shows the commerce 
of the Islands, the years named being the 
latest attainable: 
_ ^ Imports from Exports to

The average value of the trade of the 
Philippines is greater than indicated in the 
above table, having suffered in the last few 
years on account of political conditions. 
This is shown by the fact that in 1893 tho 
imports of Great Britain from the islands 
were to the value of fl0,607,000. and the ex- 
ports nearly $1,500,000 more than the ship- 
ments in 1897. France imports three timos 
as much as she did in 1893. but her export! 
have diminished in an* even larger propop 
tion, from over $2,000,000 to $350,000. China 
imports more than twice as much, but ex- 
ports considerably less than in 1893. India 
Imports less, but her exports have risen 
from $67,000 to $80,000. The Straits Set- 
tlements have lost over $100,000 in imports 
and some $140,000 In exports. The trade 
with New South Wales has grown, but that 
with Victoria has greatly diminished, and 
United States commerce, which was $9,314,- 
235 in 1893, has fallen to $4,478,337 in 1897.

THE MARIANA OB LADBONB ISLANDS. 



THE KABIAKA OB LASBONE ISLANDS. 



189 



The Mariana archipelago is a chain of islands In the 
Pacific stretching north and south a winding distance of 
about 600 miles and embraces some seventeen Islands, hav- 
ing an area of about 500 square miles. They were the first 
group discovered by Magellan In 1521, while making his 
voyage around the globe, about ten days after he had 
reached the Island of Gebn, one of the Philippines. Some 
years later, when the Spaniards had assumed sovereignty 
over the Philippines, they established a regular service for 
their vessels across the Pacific to the Island of Guam, one 
of the Mariana group, which became a regular station for 
vessels sailing between Manila and the Mexican coast. 

The native Inhabitants of the Marianas soon disappeared 
under the dominion of Spain and the group was repeopled 
by Immigrants from the Philippines, who brought with 
them a new language, plants and customs. 

The name of "Ladrones" was given to the Islands by 
Magellan because. It is said, of the character of their in- 
habitants, the word meaning ''robbers,'^ but history de- 
clares such a designation to nave been entirely unjust to 
the aborigines of the group. Later they were renamed 
Mariana In honor of Mariana of Austria, the wife of Philip 
IV., king of Spain. A distance of about 1,200 miles sep- 
arates the most southwesterly island of the Mariana group 
from the nearest of the Philippines and the entire inter- 
vening distance is wholly free from reefs or other obstruc- 
tions to navigation, except a few rocks on the northern 
extremity toward Japan and the Pelew Islands on the 
south. Geologically the group has no connection with the 
Philippines, but belongs to the same formation as the 
Aleutian islands that project west from the coast of 
Alaska. 

The principal Island of the group is Guam or Guahn, 
which comprises nearly one-half of the entire area of 
the archipelago. From a commercial point of view the 
Mariana group of Islands is of little valtfe, as the trade is 
wholly insignificant. The products are such only as are 
required by the inhabitants of the tropics, and even these 
are not sufficiently abundant to induce trade and com- 
merce. The natives grow sugar cane, rice, com and 
melons. Cocoanuts, pineapples, bananas, limes, lemons, 
oranges and the breadfruit grow wild in greatest profu- 
sion. It rains nearly all the time — half a dozen squalls of 
from ten to thirty minutes every day— but no one minds 
that. It keeps the temperature down and makes every- 
thing grow. It is a fine coffee cnuntiy, but there is almost 
no attention paid to the industry. The prlnc pal product 
is copra. "When the islands were discovered they were 
fonnd to have a considerable population, which resembled 
the Malays of the Philippines in language but In no other 
particnlar. In physical appearance they resembled the 
Indonesian and Papuan race and were divided into two 
classes, one composing the nobility and the other the com- 
mon people, between which marriage, by their own laws 
and customs, was not permitted. As soon as the Span- 
iards a<^qulred possession of the islands all the Inhabitants 
were reduced to a common state of servitude. This was 
not brought about without a long and serious struggle, for 
the natives held out valiantly against their oppressors and 
resistance did not cease until 60,000, or more than one-half, 
of the native population had fallen in the conflict or had 
escaped to the Caroline islands, while more than oife-third 
of tne 180 villages had been destroyed, in 1760 the popu- 
lation of the group had been reduced to 1,600 inhabitants, 
and to supply the deficiency occasioned by the long strug- 
gle Tagul colonists were brought from the Philippines, but 
these compulsory immigrants perished from epidemics and 
the severity of the demands made upon them by the new 
masters of the islands. In 1875 the native population 
had become reduced to about 600 souls. 

The entire population of the group Is concentrated on 
the island of Guam, except a few colonies of fishermen. 
The island of Tinian has only a single village and a com- 
munity of lepers, while Beta and Sayan have only a few 
hundred inhabitants each. Not only have the people fallen 
off in numbers but in capacity as well. While they have 
learned all the vices of the few Spaniards and Malays 
who have supplanted the larger portion of the aborig- 
ines, they have forgotten the virtues and the industries 
ttat thefr forefathers practiced. Agriculture has been

practically abandoned, modem pottery^ has 
taken tbe place of that made oy the na- 
tives. Imported cloths have destroyed tbe 
manufacture of the coarser domestic fab- 
rics, bouses that the natires nsed to build 
and inhabit have disappeared and the 
rudest huts have taken toeir places, and 
many of the arts practiced by the people 
have been wholly lost under the blighting 
rule of the Spaniards. 

The government of the archipelago has, of 
necessity, been military in its character, 
the garrison at the capital, Agana, on the 
Island of Guam, being composed of some 
sixty Spanish and 300 native recruits drawn 
from the population by conscription, under 
a captain-general appointed by the Spanish 
cabinet. The garrison has been usually 
supported by a small and inefficient gun- 
boat, which has been necessary to restrain 
the people as well as the native troops. 

The importance of the Mariana arcliipel- 
ago to the United States depends entirely 
upon the part it is to play in the peace con- 
ference at Paris. When Capt. Glass, in 
command of the Charleston, left Honolulu 
he was given sealed orders which were not 
to be opened until he was out of sight of 
land. He was destined to Manila to re-en- 
force Admiral Dewey and convoy a fleet 
carrying troops to Gen. Merritt. These or- 
ders directed him to stop at Guam, capture 
the governor and all the Spanish omcials 
and soldiers and destroy the fortifications 
at Agana, the capital, or In the bay of San 
Luis d'Apra, upon which the town is situ- 
ated. Early on the morning of June 20 land 
was sighted, the Charleston cleared for ac- 
tion and sailed Into the bay. Entering the 
harbor, Capt. Glass directed his course to 
Fort Santa Cruz, upon which he opened fire 
at a range of 3.000 yards with his three- 
pounders. Thirteen shells were fired with- 
out eliciting any response. At length Lieut. 
Garcia Gutierrez of the Spanish navy and 
Dr. Romero of the army rowed out to the 
vessel to see if the men on the Charleston 
were in good health and to give the promise 
to Capt. Glass that they would return his 
salute junt as soon as they could borrow 
some powder for the two old guns that were 
in the fort. The following account of the 
surrender Is by Oscar King Davis and was 
published in Harper's Weekly, the official 
report of Capt. Glass not having been made 
public: 

Gutierrez and Romero were thunderstruck 
at being informed of tbe real situation, and 
when told that Manila was in Dewey's 
hands, practically, the Spanish fleet de- 
stroyed, and that they were prisoners of 
war, they were most unhappy. Francis 
Portusac, a native of Guam and an Agana 
merchant, who was naturalized in Chicago 
in 1888, was with the officials to act as in- 
terpreter, but Capt. Glass used him more 
as a bureau of Information about the island. 
Finally the captain paroled tbe Spaniards 
for the day and sent them awav in. their 
t>oats with a verbal message to the govern- 
or, Lleut.-Col. Don Jose Marina y Vega, to 
hurry up and pay his official call. That 
evening Gov. Marina sent Capt. Glass a 
message to the effect that the military 
regulations of Spain forbade him to set 
foot on a foreign vessel, but he would be 

? leased to see the captain at his office in 
he morning. Capt. Glass replied that he 
would see tne governor himself, or send an 
officer to represent him. 
The next morning Lieut. William Braun- I 



ersreuther, the navigator of the Charleston-, 
with Ensign Waldo Evans and five men, 
went ashcMre. Lieut. Braunersreuther car- 
ried a formal note to the governor from 
Capt. Glass, which gave him thirty minutes 
In which to surrender unconditionally. The 

?:uns of the Charleston were ready to en- 
orce the demands. Lieut. Braunersreuther 
met the governor at the landing place at 
the native village of PIti. With the gov- 
ernor were Capt. Duarte of the Spanish 
army, his secretary, the port captain, Lieut. 
Gutierrez and Dr. Romero. In presenting 
tbe note from Capt. Glass Lieut. Brauners- 
reuther said, in Spanish: 

"I have the honor to present a communi- 
cation from my commandant. I am author- 
ized to wait one-half hour for your reply. 
In presenting this communication I call 
your attention to the fact that we have, as 
you see, three large ships in the harbor, 
and a fourth [the Sydney had remained 
outside] outside ready to come in. One of 
these ships is a modem war vessel of high 
power, with large guns. The others are 
transports full of soldiers. We have a 
large force here. I call your attention to 
these facts in order that you may not make 
any hasty or ill-considered reply to the 
note of my commandant.'* 

Gov. Marina bowed and thanked Lieut. 
Braunersreuther, took the note and retired 
with his staff into his office. From its win- 
dow, if he chanced to look out, he could see 
the steam launch of the Charleston towing 
a string of boats full of men up toward the 
landing place. In the boats were Lieut. 
Myers, U. S. M. C, of the Charleston, with 
forty marines from the ship, and part of 
company A, 2d Oregon, Capt. H. L. Heath, 
from the Australia. This was the first de- 
tachment of the landing force Gen. Ander- 
son and Capt. Glass bad agreed on the 
night before. The rest of company A and 
company D, Capt A. T. Prescott, were 
waiting on the Australia for the launch to 
return and tow them to land. To their 
intense disgust, not a man of them set foot 
on land. The first detachment tied up to 
the Japanese brigantine while the launch 
went back for the rest, and before it came 
back the work had all been done. 

For twenty-nine minutes Lieut. Brauners- 
reuther waited, watch in hand, for the 
reply. Then Gov. Marina came out of his 
office with a sealed letter addressed to 
Capt. Glass. "It Is for your commandant," 
he said, as Lieut. Braunersreuther broke it 
open. "I represent my commandant here," 
was the reply. Gov. Marina had written: 

"Sir: In the absence of anv notification 
from my government concerning the rela- 
tions of war between the United States and 
Spain, and without any means of defense, 
or tbe possibility of defense in the face of 
such a large opposing force, I feel com- 
pelled, in the Interests of humanity and to 
save life, to make a complete surrender of 
all under my jurisdiction. Trusting to your 
mercy and Justice, I have the honor to be," 
etc., etc. 

So Guam was surrendered, with all the 
Mariana Islands. The unhappy governor had 
no notice that the force which had threat- 
ened him was intended really for Manila, 
and thought that it had been sent out solely 
against the Mariana group. He had but 
fifty-four Spanish regulars and a company 
of Chamorros, and was, as he said, quite 
without means of making a defense. Llent.

THE EAWAIIAH XSLANSB. 



The republic of Hawaii, the udIoh of 
which to the United States was completed 
on the 12th of August. 1898, consists of 
eight Islands In the Pacific ocean, between 
longitude 164.40 and 160.30 west from Green- 
wich and latitude 22.16 and 18.56 north. 
They were discovered by Capt. Cook In 1778, 
and on Hawaii he was killed by the natives 
Feb. 14, 1779. They are located on the 
edge of the tropics, but their position in 
mid-ocean and the prevalence of the north- 
east trade winds gives them a climate of 
perpetual summer without enervating heat. 
The group occupies a central position in 
the Nortn Pacific, 2,089 nautical miles 
southwest of San Francisco, 4,640 from 
Panama, 3,800 from Auckland (New Zea- 
land), 4,960 from Hongkong, 3,440 from 
Yokohama and 4,350 from Manila. It will 
thus be seen that Hawaii lies about one- 
third of the distance on the accustomed 
routes from San Francisco to Japan and 
Chinese ports, from San Francisco to Aus- 
tralia, from the Pacific ports of British 
Columbia to Australia and British India 
and about half way from the Isthmus of 
Panama to Yokohama and Hongkong. A gov- 
ernment publication has the following to 
say as to the importance of Hawaii as a 
naval station: "From a naval standpoint 
Hawaii is the great strategic base of the 
Pacific. • Under the present conditions of 
naval warfare, created by the use of steam 
as a motive power. Hawaii would secure to 
the maritime nation possessing it an im- 
mense advantage as a depot for the supply 
of coal. Modem battleships, depending 
absolutely upon coal, would be enabled to 
avail themselves of their full capacity of 
speed and energy only by having some half- 
way station in the Pacific where they could 
replenish their stores of fuel and refit. A 
battleship or cruiser starting from an 
Asiatic or Australian port, with the view 
of operating along the coast of either 
North America or South America, would be 
unable to act effectively for any length of 
time at the end of so long a voyage unless 
she were able to refill her bunkers at some 
point on the way. On the other hand, the 
United States, possessing Hawaii, will be 
able to advance its line of defense 2,000 
miles from the Pacific coast, and, with a 
fortified harbor and a strong fieet at Hono- 
lulu, will be in a position to conduct either 
defensive or offensive operations In the 
North Pacific to greater advantage than any 
other power.** 

There are eight principal islands in the 
group, the others being mere rocks of no 

? resent value. They are named, beginning 
rom the northwest: 

Area in 
8q. miUs.

Oahu 600 

Molokal 270 

Maul 760 

lanai 150 

Kahoolawe 63 

Hawaii 4,210 

Total 6,740 

By comparison it will be seen that the 
area of the Islands Is only a little less than 
that of the state of New Jersey, while it is 



more than three timet that of the state ot 
Delaware. 

The islands that present the most attrac- 
tions are Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kauai, 
as it is on these that cofCee. fruits, pota- 
toes, com and vegetables of various kinds 
are produced in tne most luxuriant profu- 
sion and where land can be obtained oo 
reasonable terms. Hawaii is the largest o£ 
the group and presents the greatest variety 
of soil and climate. The island is dividea 
into elffht districts. Thofie on the windward 
side— North Kohala, Hamakua, Hiio and 
Puna— are Kell watered by plentiful rains, 
while on the lee side South Kohala, North 
Kona, South Kona and Kau are rarely witii- 
out necessary water supply. The Kona dis- 
trict is noted for both its coffee and sugar. 
The coffee industry is carried on by sev- 
eral hundred proprietors, whose plantations 
embrace an acreage ample for 200,000 trees 
down to those who work an acre or more. 
A government report says of this islaDQ 
that there are ^'thousands of acres at 
present uncultivated and only awaiting the 
enterprise of the temperate xone to develop 
them." 

Maui Is one of the most productive islands 
in the group and produces sugar and coffee, 
the cultivation -of which is largely confined 
to the eastern portion, which has been only 
recently devoted to those products. On the 
island is a large mountain. Haleakala, the 
western slope of which is covered with 
farms where the smaller grains are raised, 
with some swine. On this island thoa- 
sonds of acres are lying fallow. 

No one of the group offers better advan- 
tages than Oahu. Very many acres of land 
in the fertile vallevs are yet wholly unde- 
veloped, the inhabitants being devoted to 
the cultivation of sugar on tne larger is- 
lands. On this is situated the capital of 
the country. A line of railroad has been 
built extending west from Honolulu a dis- 
tance of about thirty miles, and it is pro- 
posed to continue it entirely around the 
island. The road runs throu^ a very rich 
coffee-producing region and affords good fa- 
cilities for transporting the product to the 
capital, which is the chief port of entry In 
the group. 

Kauai is popularly known as "the garden 
island" from the luxuriance of its vegeta- 
tion. The ohief products are sugar and 
rice. Little coffee Is being grown, its in- 
troduction being but recently made. There 
are larger areas of rich unoccupied lands 
on the island of Kauai. 

On Oahu is Honolulu, the capital of the 
whilom republic. It is a city of 80,000 
inhabitants and is one of the most advanced 
capitals on the globe. It is lighted with 
electric lights and has an extensive tele- 
phone system and street cars. Any variety 
of goods that can be bought in any southern 
city in the world can be purchased at its 
stores, while the public buildings are ornate 
and commodious. It is abundantly supplied 
with churches and the best of schools, a 
large public library, a Young Men's Chris- 
tian association hall, a Masonic temple, an 
Odd-Fellows' hall and all other appliances 
of an advanced civilisation, not to mention 
four daily and two weekly English papers, 
besides others printed in the Hawaiian, 
Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese lan- 
guages. Among the native Hawaiians the

Krcentage of illiteracy \b rery small, it 
Ting been officially declared not to be 
greater than it is in the state of Massachu- 
■etts. 

The Hawaiian Islands are of volcanic 
formation, and there are two active vol- 
canoes on Hawaii— Kilauea and Mauna Loa. 
The altitude of Manna Kea, the highest 
point on Hawaii, is 13,805 feet. The moun- 
tains on other Islands range from 4,000 to 
5,000 feet. The topography is broken and 
diversified, with many valleys and streams. 
The mountain sides abound in forests, con- 
taining an abundance of ship timber and 
many ornamental woods. Among the min- 
erals that have been noticed are sulphur, 
pyrites, common salt, sal ammoniac, limo« 
nlte, quarts, augite, chrysolite, garnet, 
labradorite, feldspar, gypsum, soda, alum, 
copperas, glauber salts, niter and calcite. 

*'In the Hawaiian islands," says a pam- 

f^hlet of the Hawaiian government, '*Amer- 
cans and Europeans can and do work in the 
open air at all seasons of the year, as 
thev cannot in countries lying in the same 
latitude elsewhere. To note an instance: 
Calcutta lies a little to the north of the 
latitude of Kauai, our most northerly island 
and in Calcutta the American and European 
can Y>nly work with his brain; hard physical 
labor he cannot do and live. On the Ha- 
waiian islands he can work and thrive." 

The rainfall varies, being greater on the 
windward side of the Islands, and increas- 
ing up to a certain elevation. Thus, at 
Olaa, on the Island of Hawaii, windward 
side and elevation of about 2,000 feet, the 
rainfall from July 1, 1894, to June 30, 1895, 
,was 176.82 inches, while at Kailua, on the 
leeward side, at a low level, it was only 
51.21 inches during the same period. 

The temperature also varies according to 
elevation and position. On the island of 
Hawaii one 'can get any climate from the 
heat of summer to actual winter at the 
summits of the two great mountains. A 
tneteorological record, kept carefully for a 
period of twelve years, gives 89 degrees aa 
the highest and 64 degrees as the lowest 
temperature recorded, or a mean tempera- 
ture of 71.6 degrees for the year. A case of 
sunstroke has never b^en known. People 
take no special precautions against the sun, 
wearing straw and soft felt hats similar to 
those worn in the United States during the 
summer months. 

The prevailing winds are the northeast 
trades. These blow for about nine months 
of the year. The remainder of the period 
the winds are variable and chiefly from th«> 
south. Th6 Islands are outside the cyelon* 
belt, and severe storms accompanied by 
thunder and lightning are of rare occur- 
rence. 

The islands possess a healthful climate. 
There are no virulent fevers such as are en- 
countered on the coast of Africa or in the 
West India islands. Epidemics seldom visit 
the islands, and when they do they are gen- 
erally light. A careful system of quaran- 
tine guards them now from epidemics from 
abroad. 

The pamphlet entitled "The Republic of 
Hawaii," issued by the department of for- 
eign affairs of the islands in 1896, gives a 
full account of the agricultural resources of 
the country, with interesting details as to 
the coffee industry, from which the follow- 
ing matter is extracted: The mainstay of 
the islands, it says, has for the last thirty- 
five years been the sugar Industry. From 
this source m large amount of wealth has 



been accomulated. Bat the sugar Industry 
requires large capital for expensive ma- 
chinery and oas never proved remuneratlTe 
to small investors. An attempt has been 
made at profit-sharing, and has met with 
some success, the small farmer cultivatins 
and the capitalist grinding at a centru 
mill. Of late years, moreover, the small 
farmer has been steadily developing in the 
Hawaiian islands, and attention has been 
given to other products than sugar. 

Rice neither Europeans nor Americans 
can cultivate* as laborers. It requires 
working in marshy land, and, though on thu 
islands it yields two crop» a year, none buc 
the Chinaman can raise It successfully, a 
dry-land or mountain rice has been utro- 
duced. 

The main staple, after sugar and rice, is 
coffee. Of this, hundreds of thousands of 
trees have been planted out within the last 
five vears. This is essentially the crop of 
the future, and bids fair to become as im- 
portant a staple as sugar. Coffee does not 
require the amount of capital that sugar 
does and it can be worked remuneratively 
upon a small area. It is estimated that at 
the end of the fourth year the return from a 
seventy-five-acre coffee plantation will much 
more than pay the running expenses, while 
from that time on a return of from |8,000 
to $10,000 per annum may be realised. 

Fruits can also be cultivated to advan- 
tage. At present the banana trade of the 
islands amounts to over 100,000 bunches pet 
annum, valued at over $100,000, and th« 
quantity might very easily be quadrupled 
The banana industry may be regarded as in 
its infancy. The export of the fruit is only 
from the Island of Oahu, but there are 
thousands of acres on the other islands of 
the group which could be profitably used for 
this cultivation and for nothing else. The 
whole question of the banana industry 
hinges on the market. At present the mar- 
ket is limited. 

Limes and oranges can be cultivated and 
the fruit, can be easily packed for export; 
at present the production does not meet the 
local market. The fruits can be- raised to 
perfection. The Hawaiian orange has a fine 
flavor and the Hawaiian lime is of superior 
quality. In the uplands of Hawaii and 
Maui potatoes are raised. Their qukllty is 
good. Corn is also raised. In these indus- 
tries many Portuguese, Norwegians and 
others have embarked. Both these products 
find an ample local market. The com is 
used largely for feed on the plantations, and 

fTound with the cob maktfs an lexcellent 
eed for working cattle, horses and mules. 

In the uplands where the climate is tem- 
perate, as at Waimea, Hawaii, vegetables 
of all kinds c^n be raised; excellent cauli- 
flowers, cabbages and every product of the 
temperate zone can be grown to perfection. 

Cattle raising In so small a place as the 
Hawaiian islands does not preisent great 
opportunities except for local consumption. 
Pigs are profitable to the small farmer. 
In the Kula district of Maui pigs are fat- 
tened upon the corn and potatoes raised in 
the district. The price of pork, dressed, is 
25. cents a pound in Honolulu and about 15 
cents a pound in the outside districts. 

The Chinese; of whom there are some 
20,000 resident on the various islands, are 
extremely fond of pork, so that there is a 
large local market, which has to be supple- 
mented by importations from Galifonda. - 

Attention has lately been giveji to-^b«r 
plants, for which th^re lare many srflfaftle

locations. Bamie erows luxuriantly, but 
the lack of proper decorticating and clean- 
ing machinery nas prevented any advance 
in this cnltlyation. 

Sisal hemp and sansevelra have been ex- 
perimented with, but without any distinct 
influence upon the trade output. 

The cultivation of pineapples is a growing 
industry. In 1895 ''ipines^'^ were exported 
from the islands to San Francisco to the 
value of nearly $9,000. This has grown up 
in the last halr-doaen years. There Is every 
reason to think that canning pineapples for 
the coast and other markets can be made 
profitable. 

The guava, which grows wild, . can also 
be put to profit for the manufacture of 
guava Jeliy. It has never been entered upon 
on a large scale, but to the thrifty farmer It 
would l^ a convenient addition to his in- 
come. Just as the juice of the maple adds to 
the income of farmers of the eastern states. 
Well-made guava Jelly will find a market 
anjrwhere. In England it is regarded as a 



great delicacy, being imported from the 
west India islands. Besides the guava 
there are other fruits which can be put up 
to commercial profit, notably the poha, or 
cape gooseberrv (physalls edulls). This has 
been successfully made into Jams and Jelly, 
which command an extensive local sale and 
should find their way into larger markets. 

In fact, outside the great industries of 
sugar, coffee and rice there is a good field 
for many minor industries which can be 
carried on with profit. 

In the Hawaiian islands a simple life ci^n 
be lived, and entering gradually upon the 
coffee industry a good competence can be 
obtained long before such could be realised 
by the agriculturist in less favored coun- 
tries. However, it is useless to go to the 
islands without the necessary capital to 
develop the land that can h^ obtained. Be- 
tween arriving and the time that the crops 
begin to give returns there is a period where 
the living must be close and cash must be 
paid out for the necessary improvements. 



HAWAIIAN ANKEXATIOK. 



The record of the proceedings having for 
their object the annexation of Hawaii to 
the United States was brought down in 
The Daily Newtf Almanac for 1898 to Sep- 
tember, 1897, when the Hawaiian senate 
met in special session for considering the 
annexation treaty then pending in the sen- 
ate of the United States, which will be 
found on page 266 of that volume. The 
Hawaiian senate signified its assent to the 
annexation of the islands to the United 
States, although there was a strong feeling 
of opposition to such action among the 
native royalists, who opposed a surrender of 
their government and territory. It will be 
remenobered that the annexation treaty was 
transmitted to the United States senate In 
June, 1897, Just before the close of the 
special session, and it was publicly ex- 
pectc>d that it would be acted upon early in 
the session of the regular congress which 
met in December of that year. The treaty 
was considered in secret session, and it be- 
came evident that although the annexation 
of Hawaii was supposed to be a republican 
measure the ratification of the treaty was 
opposed by some of the ablest members of 
that party in the senate, while it bad the 
unqualified support of several members of 
the opposition. It was publicly stated that 
Mr. Morrill (Rep.) of Vermont and Mr. 
Hoar (Rep.) of Massachusetts opposed the 
ratification of the treaty, while Mr. Morgan 
(Dem.) of Alabama, recognized leader of 
his party, warmly advocated its adoption. 
Other republicans were disposed to object to 
the union, while some of the other demo- 
crats and all the populists favored the pro- 
posal. 

On the 24th of January, 1898, Mr. Joseph 
O. Carter arrived in Washington from Efa- 
waii to oppose the adoption of the treaty, 
which he declared would be injurious to 
both countries, while he affirmed that Ha- 
waii was amply able to take care of herself. 
On the 26th of January President Dole of 
the Hawaiian republic visited Washington 
and was received as the chief executive of a 
neighboring state. He remained at the 
capital some two weeks, and during the 
time be refrained from expressing himself 

Sbllcly upon the subject of annexation. 
« treaty wasTeported from the committee 



on foreign relatiens to the senate near the 
middle of January, and the opposition to its 
ratification at once developed itself. On 
the 3d of February Senator White (Dem.) of 
California offered a resolution setting forth 
that the people of Hawaii had the right to 
maintain their own form of government and 
the United States ought not to interfere 
with such right. On the 7th Senator Mor- 
gan (Dem.) of Alabama offered an amend- 
ment to this resolution, which- was as 
follows: 

"That the republic of Hawaii, established 
in and based upon its present constitution. 
Is a rightful government, and has been and 
still is recognized as such by the United 
States of America and by other great pow- 
ers, without any question by any nation of 
its rightful and sovereign independence; and 
said constitution is the true and recognized 
authority that fixes the measure and the 
distribution of the rights and powers of 
government in that republic while said con- 
stitution remains in force. 

"That In conformity with the existing 
constitution of the republic of Hawaii, and 
so long as the same is in force, the powers 
of government reside In and are to oe ex- 
ercised by the Incumbents of the depart- 
ments, tribunals and offices created by 
said constitution and filled in pursuance of 
law, and the lawful electors under said 
constitution who qualify as such by taking 
the oath of allegiance prescribed therein 
are entitled to share in the government of 
Hawaii according to the rights secured to 
them in said constitution, and to the extent 
and in the manner therein provided, so long 
as the same is in force. 

"And said government of the republic of 
!Hawall having in due form signified its 
consent in the manner provided in its con- 
stitution that the Hawaiian islands, with 
all the territory appurtenant thereto, over 
which said government now claims to exer- 
cise sovereign Jurisdiction, shall be annexed 
to and become a part of the territory of the 
United States of America, and shall be sub- 
ject to the national power and sovereign 
Jurisdiction fibereof, ft is hereby enacted 
and declared that said cession is accepted, 
ratified and confirmed, and that said Ha- 
waiian islands are annexed as a part of the

The resolutions went to the president and 
were signed by him on the 7th of July, 1898. 
In accordance with the resolutions the presi- 
dent selected as the five commissioners who 
are to recommend to congress such legisla- 
tion as they regard necessary and proper for 
the government of the new possessions the 
following: Senators Shelby M. Oillom 
(Rep.) of Illinois and John T. Morgan (Dem.) 
of Alabama, Representative Robert R. Hitt 
(Uep,) of Illinois, and Sanford B. Dole, 
president of Hawaii, and Walter F. Frear, 
representing Hawaii. 

That this government has annexed the 
Hawaiian islands without the consent of tiie 
large majority of the native population la 
not to be denied. Upon this subject liear- 
Admiral L. A. Beardslee, U. S. N., who, 
from being a long time stationed at Hono- 
lulu, is thoroughly competent to express an 
opinion, says in a recent article In the 
North American Review: 

"That we have not obtained the full and 
free consent of these people seems to be a 
fact. Circumstances wiilch occui'red on and 
before annexation day, the 12th of last 
August, indicate tliis very strongly. A short 
time before protests against annexation 
had been filed with both governments by 
political societies. On the day when an- 
nexation was consummated of the great 
number of the best of Honolulu people who, 
through social or official standing, were en- 
titled to places on the great platform built 
on the steps of the executive building— 
formerly the palace of Hawaii's monarchs — 
to witness and participate in the ceremo- 
nies but one of the three principal classes 
into which Honolulu people are divided was 
present in any force, these, namely, who 
affiliated with or supported the party ot 
which the government was formed. The 
other parties, the natives and half-white». 
and the royalists, took no part, and among 
them were people whose official and social 
standing are such that their absence coula 
not have been the result of accident. There 
were at the time in Honolulu the ex-Queen 
Liliuokalani, the ex-Dowager Queen Kaplo* 
lani, the ex-Princess Kaiulani, and in the 
list I have before me as I write I cannot 
find their names nor the name of any of the 
prominent royalists, nor of a Hawaiian not 
attached to the government. 

"The band of Hawaiian damsels who 
were to have lowered for the last time 
the Hawaiian flag as the government 
band played for tne last time the Ha- 
waiian ponoi would not lower it. The 
band refused to play the ponoi and loud 
weeping was the only music contributed by 
the natives. Very evidently there was dls-

to be utlUzed for toat purpose. 

"6. All useful InventloQs to be free to all, 
the Inyentor to be remunerated by the 
public. 

"7. The people to provide honorable main- 
tenance for aged and disabled toilers. 

"8. Labor legislation to be made national 
instead of local and international where 
possible. 

"9. National insurance of worlcing people 
against accidents and lack or employment. 

"10. Equal civil and political rights for 
women and the abolition of all laws dis- 
criminating against women. 

**11. The adoption of the initiatiye and 
referendum ana the right of recall of repre- 
sentatives by the voters; also minority rep- 
resentation. 

"12. Abolition of war as far as the United 
States is concerned and the introduction of 
international arbitration instead. 

"Draft of a farmers' . programme — While 
In the field of industry the instruments of 
production have become centralized to such 
a degree that only in collective form can 
they be restored to the producers, this is 
by no means the case in the field of agri- 
culture; here the main instrument ot pro- 
duction — to wit, the soil— is generally the 
individual possession of the producer. We 
adopt the following platform for the pur- 
pose of uniting the workers in the country 
with those in the city: 

"1. Nationalization of all mortgages on 
iand, the rate of interest to* be lowered to 
cost price. 

"2. /The national credit to be at the dis- 
posal of the farmers for improvement of 
their land to the extent of half its value. 
Money to be issued for this purpose, which 
Is to be destroyed when the Installments 
are paid. 

"3. No more public land to be sold, but to 
be utilized by the United States or the state 
directly for the public benefit, or leased to 
farmers in smaU parcels of not over 640 
acres, the state to make strict regulations 
as to improvement and cultivation. Forests 
and waterways to be put under direct con- 
trol of the nation. 

"4. E^rection of grain elevators, maga- 
zines and cold-storage buildings by the 
nation to be used by the farmers at cost 
price. 

"6. A uniform postal rate for the trans- 
portation of agncultural products on all 
railroads. 

**7. Public credit to be at the disposal of 
counties and towns for the improvement of 
roads and soil and for irrigation and drain- 
age. Money to be used for such purpose 
to be destroyed when repaid.'* 

THB PEOPLE'S PARTY CONVENTION. 

Pursuant to a call Issued by the national 
organization committee of the people's party 
a convention was held In Cincinnati, O., on 
the 6th day of September. The delegates, 
numbering about 246. who were In attend- 
ance represented that wing of the party 
known as the "middle-of-the-road" or "non- 
fnsionist" element. Ignatius Donnelly of 
Minnesota was chosen chairman of the con- 
vention. A committee on resolutions was 
appointed to present an . address to the 
people of the United States and to formu- 
late a platform. This committee was com- 
posed of the following named delegates: 

Florida. F. H. Lytle: Geonria, w. J. Mc- 
Daoiel; Illinois, Kay Goodwin; Indiana, O. 
L. Ross; Kentucky. Jo A. Parker; Michi- 
gan, James B. McBrlde; Mississippi, Frank 



Burkltt; Ohio, John Phalen; Pennsylvania, 
Wharton Barker; Tennessee, Horace Mer- 
rltt; Minnesota, Ignatius Donnelly; Mis- 
souri, W. O. Atkeson; Arkansas, M. K. 
CofTman. 

The committee presented the following 
address and platform, which were adopted: 

"I'rosperity is the first right of a people. 

"The preamble of t|^ constitution of the 
United States declares the purpose of that 
instrument to be to 'promote the general 
welfare'— in other words, to enrich the peo- 
ple and make them happy. 

"Liberty is desired of all men, because it 
means equality of opportunity; and this 
means universal prosperity. Poverty, lack- 
ing liberty, is unable to defend itself 
against privilege. 

"All history Is but a record of the strug- 
gles of mankind to rise to happiness in the 
face of misgovernment. 

"Labor in tne ancient civilizations was but 
another name for slavery. All the workers 
in the forest, on the farm, in the shop and 
in the mine, were slaves. 

"The monuments of Egypt still rear their 
massive fronts to heaven, enduring testi- 
mony to the enormities of Injustice in- 
fiicted upon the workmen who built them. 

"The producers of the wealth of Greece 
and Rome were denied happiness in life 
and heaven in death. They were regarded 
as soulless beings, forbidden to be present 
at the religious mysteries, and refused eveu 
the rights of sepulture. 

"Their degraded estate was branded in 
their very faces, and when they became too 
numerous for their masters' safety they 
were slaughtered by thousands. 

"The fact that they belonged to the same 
race, and even to the same families, as 
their owners did not in the least mitigate 
their sufferings. Nor was it considered any 
argument in behalf of the poor creatures 
that their outlawed caste had given birth 
to great geniuses and commanders, like 
JEsop, Probus, Vitellius, Diocletian, and 
even Augustus Csesar. 

"The producers of all food were hungry, 
the creators of all wealth were paupers, the 
manufacturers of all clothing were naked, 
the forgers of all weapons were defenseless. 

"Out of their very faith in God were 
welded the chains that rendered them help- 
less; for they feared the denial of the 
sacred rites of sepulture more than they 
feared death itself, and the baseless hopes 
of future bliss, in pagan heaven, were re- 
ceived by tbem as an equivalent for a life 
of continuous misery on earth. 

"When these wretched beings, unable 
longer to bear the incalculable sufferings, 
broke out in great insurrections, under 
Spartacus, Eunus, A then ion and others, 
more than a million of them were crucified 
and left to rot on the public highways. 

"The birth of the Christian religion was 
the first break of light amid the gloomy hor- 
rors of this awful spectacle. It came as an 
outburst from the depths of the oppressed 
and servile class. Its Founder was a me- 
chanic; His apostles fishermen. It preached 
to the multitude equality and nniversaJ 
brotherhood, the Immortality of the soul 
and the love of a Heavenly Father. It 
scourged the money-changers out of the 
temple and consigned the wicked rich to 
the tortures of an eternal hell. 

"The growth of Christianity was a suc- 
cessful insurrection of the poor and was 
adopted by the great only after it had em- 
I braced the great body of the people. It

gradually aboliebed slavery, mitigated the 
eyils ot human selfishnesa and lifted up all 
mankind. 

**The next step in this preordained ad- 
vancement was the voyage of Columbus and 
the transfer of the best blood of the old 
world to the shores of the new. A flood of 
poor, hungry men struggled across the At- 
lantic, and, on terms of perfect equality 
and filled with th* positive demands of 
liberty, spvead themselves over the virgin 
land, kept void of inhabitants, therefor, by 
the providence of God. 

**Then began a process of splendid devel- 
opment for which the previous experience of 
mankind had afforded no parallel. The 
genius of humanity cast away its chains 
and stepped forward into the light with a 
continent for an arena, surrounded by the 
glorious effulgence of universal prosperity. 

*'A11 who stood before it went down, and 
resistance was but a stepping-stone to 
nobler heights of development. The dreams 
of the poets and sages of antiquity were 
realized, and a government of equal rights 
and human brotherhood, enlightened bv uni- 
versal education, rose like a mountain be- 
fore the gaze of the astonished world. 

*'From the Atlantic to the Mississippi the 
forests were brushed away and endless 
gardens and magnificent cities covered the 
land. The bodies and the minds of men 
were enlarged to nobler proportions and all 
the magnificent qualitites of the human 
soul shone forth with resplendent luster. 

**But the width of the Atlantic had not 
changed human nature. Into this paradise 
the old serpent of injustice drove the toiler 
himself. He took possession of the garden 
and drove the toller from beneath his vine 
and fig tree. He changed the lovely scene 
into an abode of unhappiness, filled with 
lamentations. 

"The census of 1S90 showed that one- 
fourth of the dwellers in this land of free 
homes had become tenants. While popula- 
tion had in ten years increased 25 per cent 
and wealth 45 per cent the mortgaged in- 
debtedness on the homes of the people had, 
in the period, advanced 156 per cent. The 
farm-owning families, despite the homestead 
law, had increased but 2i/i per cent, whi e 
the tenants of land had increased 40V^ per 
cent. 

**It was shown by that census that 4,047 
families owned |12, 000, 000, 000 of the wealth 
of the whole country. In other words, three 
one hundredths of 1 per cent of the peo- 
ple owned one-fifth of all the wealth, 9 per 
cent of the people owned 71 per cent of the 
entire property of the country, while the 
remaining 91 per cent owned but 29 per cent 
of the wealth. Bankruptcy, suicide and in- 
sanltv had grown beyond all precedent. 

"These facts struck teiTor to the souls of 
all thinking people. 

"They asked themselves. If loss than 100 
vears of national life, starting from an 
ideal condition of equality, under the no<» 
blest institutions ever known to man, had 
produced these terrible results, what would 
another hundred years bring forth? 

"They perceived that the great American 
people were rapidly becoming landless, 
homeless and hopeless. 

"They beheld the birth of that product 
of modem times— the corporation— an artifi- 
cial creature, unknown to the ancient 
world; a demon possessed of all the at- 
tributes of God's creatures, but clothed 
with Immortal life and boundless power. 
They saw it rise in a few generations from 



nothingness to the control of congress, sta e 
legislatures, municipal governments, the 
avenues of public opinion, and ail the in- 
strumentalities of production and traua|M>r- 
tation. They saw it a government within 
the government— levying taxes and collect- 
ing revenues never voted by the people. 
They saw it lessening the opportunities vt 
labor; driving the farmer from his larm ana 
the workman from his bench, concentrating 
the earth's surface in the hands of a few 
and consigning the toiler to change and 
starvation. 

"Thoughtful men looked down the vista 
of the future and saw the people returning 
to the awful conditions of pre-Christian 
slavery. To the evil rich Christ had be- 
come but a name; the horrid image of 
Moloch displaced the gentle Nasarene in 
the hearts of the rulers of the world. 

VAppalled by the revelations of the censut* 
of 1890 the friends of mankind assembled ia 
this city of Cinciiyiatl on the 19th and 20th 
days of May, 1891, in a convention of 1,418 
delegates from thirty-two states, and with 
vast enthusiasm and complete unanimity 
established the people's party of the Uniteu 
States. 

"They adjourned until Feb. 22, 1892, to 
meet at St. Louis, a great assemblage, rep- 
resenting all the extensive labor organiza- 
tions of farmers and mechanics, including 
those which met In St. Louis In 1889, the 
Ocala conference of 1890 and the Omaha 
assemblage .of the Northwestern alliance 
held in 1891. 

"It was there unanimously resolved that 
a new party should be established; the 
call was issued for a delegate convention, 
to be held at Omaha on the 4th of July, 
1892, to place in nomination candidates for 
the "presidency and vice-presidency. 

"The slowly gathering discontent, ex- 
tending over many years, found voice at 
last in the preamble and resolutions of that 
convention. 

"They built the new party on the broad- 
est and grandest principles. They declared 
that 'wealth belongs to him that creates it,' 
and that 'every dollar taken from industry 
without an equivalent is robbery.' They an- 
nounced that 'the interests of rural and 
civic labor are' the same, their enemies 
identical.' 

"They declared: 

" 'The conditions that surround us Justify 
our co-operation; we meet in the midst of a 
nation brought to the verge of moral, polit- 
ical and material ruin. Corruption domi- 
nates the ballot box, the legislatures, the 
congress, and touches even the ermine of 
the bench. The people are demoralized, in 
most of the states have been compelled to 
isolate the voters at the polling places in 
order to prevent universal Intimidation ot- 
bribery. The newspapers are subsidized, 
public opinion silenced, business prostrated, 
our homes covered with mortgages, labor 
impoverished and the land concentrating ib 
the hands of capitalists. The urban work« 
men are denied the right of organization for 
self -protection; imported, pauperised labor 
beats down their wages; a hireling standing 
army, unrecognized oy our laws, is estab- 
lished to shoot them down, and they are 
rapidly degenerating into European condi- 
tions. The fruits of the toll of millions 
are boldly stolen to build up colossal for- 
tunes, unprecedented in the history of 
mankind, and the possessors of these in 
turn despise the republic and endanger 
liberty. From the prolific womb of gov-

eminent al Injustice we breed two great 
classes — tramps and millionaires.* ' 

"Tfaey denounced both the old parties as 
equally responsible for the terriole condi- 
tion of the people. The platform said: 

** 'We have witnessed for more than a 
quarter of a century the struggles of the 
great parties for power and plunder, while 
grievous wrongs have been Inflicted upon a 
suffering people. We charge that the con- 
trolling influences dominating both these 
parties have permitted the existing dread- 
ful conditions to develop without serious 
efforts to prevent or restrain them. Neither 
do they promise us anv substantial reform. 
They nave agreed to ignore in the coming 
campaign every issue but one. They pro- 
pose to drown the outcries of a plundered 
people with the uproar of a sham battle 
over thfi tariff, so that capitalists, corjwra- 
tions, national banks, rings, trusts, watered 
stocks, the demonetization of silver and the 
oppression of the usurers may all be lost 
sight of. They propose to sacrifice our 
homes and children on the altar of Mam- 
mon, to destroy the multitude in order to 
secure corruption funds from the million- 
aires.' 

"Upon this platform, with its familiar 
concluding demands, we went before the 
people, and after four months' campaign 
we polled 1,055,424 votes and carried four 
states and partially two more, receiving 
altogether twenty-two electoral votes. The 
democrats won in the contest and elected 
Grover Cleveland president by 277 electoral 
votes, against 145 for Benjamin Harrison. 
In the campaign both the old parties kept 
up their 'sham battle' over the tariff and 
studiously ignored the great issues raised 
by the people's party. 

**In 1893 the Omaha platform received 
striking corroboration from the terrible 
panic which fell upon the countiy, sweeping 
away banks and business and plunging mil- 
lions into bankruptcy. Mr. Cleveland's 
panacea of fiee trade did not relieve the 
sufferings of the people. In the elections of 
1894 the democratic party was generally re- 
padiated, and It became apparent that that 
venerable organization must find new Issues 
or be borne to its everlasting resting place. 
There did not seem to be a state It was 
certain to carry in 1896. 

"The people's party vote in 1894 and 1895 
rose to nearly 2,000,000. and everything in- 
dicated its speedy national triumph. 

"In this emergency the democratic party 
saw that It had no resource but to steal one 
of the principles of the despised populists, 
and after having persistently opposed the 
remonetizatlon of sliver in congress and de- 
feating a dozen bills looking to that end it 
changed front in the twinkling of an eye, 
and In the Chicago convention of 1896, in a 
prearranged, theatrical scene of great up- 
roar and enthusiasm, moved to the front as 
the devoted and lifelong champion of that 
which it had ever opposed. 

"Having stolen one of the principles of 
our platform It became necessary to steal 
our votes and break up our organization. 
Hence, when the people's party national 
invention met, a tremendous pressure was 
brought to bear upon it to do what no 
political party had ever done in the hls- 
jofy of our country— to wit, to nominate 
the candidates of another party for presi- 
[aent and vice-president and stop in mid- 
career of its own tremendous growth and 
ffle itself to the doubtful fortunes an^ still 



more doubtful sincerity of a rival organiza- 
tion. 

"In vain it was urged upon th^ conven- 
tion that if we maintained our separate 
existence and nominated our own candi- 
dates we could still unite with anv other 
party in support of a Joint electoral ticket 
in every state. 

"If this plan had been adopted the repub- 
lican party would surely have been de- 
feated, but democracy insisted that the 
battle must be won under their banner. 
Hence our noble candidate for vice-presi- 
dent was ostiacized and pushed aside in 
behalf of a man whose every principle was 
in fundamental antagonism to the creed of 
our party, and our organization with its 
twenty-two electoral votes and nearly 
2,000,000 voters was ignored and spat upon. 
Our nomination was thrown back in our 
faces by a telegram from the gentleman we 
had nominated; we v/ere denied all recog- 
uitlon. The telegram of declination wag not 
produced, but our votes were carefully ex- 
ploited in the election which followed. 

"By an extraordinary calamity a gentle- 
man was made chairman of our national 
committee and commander-in-chief of our 
forces who had achieved success by a com- 
bination with republicans, and who was 
ready to equalize things by sacrificing our 
party to accomplish another unholy union 
with the democrats. 

He preached disintegration aad demoral- 
ization, Just as Benedict Arnold stipulated 
for the scattering of the American forces 
that the British might the more readily 
overthrow the young republic. Mr. Butler 
taught our forces the first .duty of a sol- 
dier was to break ranks and go over to the 
enemy. It was as if Gen. Miles had issued 
orders to our troops at Santiago to tear 
down the American flag and merge into the 
Spaniards— because we all thought alike on 
the question of Qod and the immortality of 
the soul. 

"All efforts to chain the boundless sub- 
tlety of this cunning man had been in vain. 
As late as Aug. 25, 1898, in a speech at 
Denver, Col., despite ail previous com- 

Facts and promises, he urged all friends of 
ree silver to act together, and he denounced 
those who were 'trying to divide its friends 
because they differed on other questions.* 
And yet he well knew that the republkans 
and prohibitionists of Colorado and all the 
western states were also in favor of free 
silver, and that there was Just as much 
reason to unite with them as with the 
democrats. He also knew that where a 
smaller and weaker party unites with a 
greater and stronger it is the inevitable 
union of the lion and the lamb. He knew 
that the experiment had nearly obliterated 
the people's party in several states and 
that he was leading the rest of those who 
trusted him into the abyss where reposed 
the moldering bones of the greenback 
party. He well knew that the free-silver 
issue was but one of many planks of the 
people's party, and while desirable in it- 
self could not bring the people relief If 
corporate power were to continue to rule the 
nation and plunder unchecked the industry 
of the land. 

"Our chief battle is not against the de- 
monetization of one metal for the benefit 
of another, but against the chaining of 
the world's progress to the car wheels of a 
prehistoric superstition in the shape of both 
metals. The growth of population and the 
happiness of mankind are thus made con

tingent upon accidental discoveries of two 
Intrinsically worthless metals. The whole 
adoration of gold and silver is but a sur- 
vival of pagan barbarism, more deadly in 
Its effects than slavery, polygamy and 
witchcraft. 

"While it is conceded* that money Is a 
governmental measure of value, and con- 
sists not in its material but in the stamp of 
the nation, the whole world is to-day held 
in check by a system of gold barter, while 
enterprise languishes, industry suffers and 
cemeteries are becoming populous with the 
bodies of bankrupts and suicides. Uecog- 
nizing that a terrible emergency requires 
desperate remedies and that we must ap- 
peal to the highest qualities of the human 
mind and heart, and not in degrading 'dick- 
ers* and trades of scrambling politicians, 
we cast aside all precedents and go directly 
to the people. We commence anew the> 
campaign of education which gave us. in 
the first two years of our existence, nearly 
2,000,000 votes. 

"We believe the soul is bigger than the 
pocketbook. We address ourselves to the 
reason of men and their love of country. 
We have nothing but kind words for demo- 
crats and republicans, individually. We 
beg them to Join our ranks and help us 
fight the battles of mankind. For those 
who, eager for immediate results, have 
innocently left us and merged with the 
enemy and helped on our demoralization, 
we extend the open arms of invitation and 
reconciliation. We ask them for the sake 
of the great truths which fired their hearts 
in 1892 to be with us in 1898 and forever 
after. If the birth of our party was de- 
manded by events six years ago circum- 
stances clamor in thunder tones for its 
continuance to-day. The whole experiment 
of self-government is at stake. We are 
about to add to our population as many 
millions of alien and strange people as our 
whole voting force amounts to, and no one 
can say how soon these will be dragged to 
the ballot box by the money power to bury 
Qur liberties in universal ruin. 

"By all the dreadful past of the world, 
by the memory of all the millions who 
ended lives of miserable enslavement in 
degraded graves, by the teachings and sac- 
rim;es of the martyred Christ, by the suffer- 
ings of the great revolution that made us a 
nation, by all the hopes of humanity all 
over this round globe, we implore our fel- 
low-citizens to unite with us in one grand 
effort to build up a reform party that will 
liberate mankind. 

"Our hearts go out to the wretched and 
oppressed of the whole world, and if placed 
in power in this countrv we shall try to so 
act as to help all mankind. 

PLATFORM OF THE REVIVIFIED PEO- 
PLE'S PARTY. 
"As a fundamental step to the preserva- 
tion of our endangered liberties we demand 
that the reign of corruption shall cease in 
our legislative halls by the establishment 
of direct legislation. We must shorten the 

ftlow handles of government by bringing the 
egislator closer to bis principals— so close 
that no lobbyist can intrude between them. 
Through the initiative and referendum all 
moral and political questions can be sub- 
mitted to a fair and impartial vote of the 
people and if adopted by a majority of the 
voters become the law of the land. 

**Whlle we demand that if either gold or 
silver is to be used as money both shall be 



so osed, we Insist that the best currency 
this country ever possessed was the full 
legal tender greenback of the civil wa». 
And we look forward with hope to the day 
when gold shall be relegated to the arta of 
the countrv and the human family possess, 
free of tribute to bankers, a govenunental 
full legal measure of value, made of paper, 
that will expand side by side witn the 
growth of wealth and population. Then, 
and only then, will the people realise the 
full benefits of civilization and the world 
be made a garden of delights for mankind. 

"We call attention to the public school 
system and the postal service as exempli- 
flcations of a beneficent state socialism 
which our people would only relinquish with 
their lives. And we demand that the carry- 
ing of messages written with pen and ink 
be amplified to embrace messages vnritten 
by electricity, and that the train of cars 
which carries our letters be owned by the 
government to carry those who wrote the 
letters. No other reforms will avail much 
if corporations are permitted to say how 
much they shall take from the producers 
and how much they will leave them. 
This is taxation without representa- 
tion in its worst form. It is the disgrace 
of our republic that foreign despotisms 
have defended the right of the people In 
these particulars, while corruption has 
made self-government a helpless failure in 
this land. We believe in the collective 
ownership of those means of production and 
distribution which the people may elect, 
such as railways, telegraphs, telephones, 
coal mines, etc. 

"We are opposed to individuals or cor- 
porations fastening themselves, like vam- 
pires, on the people, and sucking their sub- 
stance, and we demand that whatever can 
be better done by government for the en* 
richment of the many shall not be turned 
over to individuals for the aggrandizement 
of the few. 

"Hence we insist that banks have no 
more right to create our money than they 
would have to organize our army or paa^ 
our laws. 

"We reaflSrm the fundamental principles 
of the Omaha platform and declare it to 
be the immutable creed of our party, coeral 
with it in birth and filled with the spirit 
that launched it on its grand career. It 
must not be whittled away or traded off for 
offices. The man who proposes to do this 
is an enemy of mankind; he would sell the 
kingdom of heaven for a mess of pottage. 

"In order to maintain the liberties of the 
people we must preserve their homes, and 
we theiefore demand laws in the several 
states exempting the homes of the people 
from taxation absolutely in a sum not less 
than $2,000, and a personal property exemp- 
tion of not less than $300 to each head of a 
family. To make up for this reduction of 
taxation we favor an income, inheritance 
and other like taxes. 

" 'With malice toward none, with charity 
to all, with devotion to the right as God 
gives us to see the right,' we commit our 
cause to the hearts and consciences of the 
American people." 

After the adoption of the address and 
platform the convention proceeded to the 
nomination of candidates for the presidency 
and vice-presidency. Upon a call of the 
states Mr. Rahilly of Minnesota presented 
the name of Ignatius Donnelly; Dr. Fay of 
the same state and Mr. Burton of nilnols 
seconded the nomination. Florida yielding

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT VARIOUS STATE CONVENTIONS ON NATIONAL 

QUESTIONS. 

THB 7INAH0ES. 



[Where parties are omitted no declaration was made.] 



ALABAMA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We hereby reafiSrm our faith in and al- 
legiance to the principles of the republican 
party, and we do also indorse the national 
platform of the party adopted in conven- 
tion at St. Lools in 1896. 

We specifically declare in fa vow of a pro- 
tective tariir and for a -sound and stable 
currency, both of which give employment 
alike to labor and capital and provide suf- 
ficient revenue in time of peace to run the 
government without a resort to bond issue, 
which can only be Justified in time of war. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We do reaffirm out unalterable faith in 
the principles declared in our platform, 
adopted in 1896, and especially in the plat- 
form adopted at Chicago in July of the 
same year, not so much because those plat- 
forms were declarations of our party, but 
for the much higher teason that the prin- 
ciples therein announced are the principles 
upon which the democratic party and the 
federal government are founded and be- 
cause those principles are eternally tnie. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

Free coinage of gold and silver at the 
ratio of IS to 1, and that all other money 
shall be issued by the federal government 
and shall be a legal tender for all the pub- 
lic and private dues and demands, with in-* 
hibition oy law of any contract that annuls 
the full exactions of these requirements, 
and with no one kind of money redeemable 
in any other kind of money. We denounce 
the effort to increase the national bonded 
debt by placing the sovereign power in the 
ridiculous position of borrowing what it 
alone has power to create, and insist that 
no bond should be issued until tbe volume 
ot currency shall reach $50 per capita. 



ARKANSAS. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We teaflSrm our adherence to the doctrine 
of sound money, by which every dollar. 
gold, silver or paper, put forth under the 
sanction of the government shall be equal 
to every other dollar. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
We Indorse the national platform of the 
democratic party adopted at Chicago, in its 
national convention of 1896, and reaffirm the 
principles therein enunciated. 



CALIFORNIA- 
REPUBLICAN. 
We reaffirm our belief in the financial 
plank oi the republican national platform 
of 1896 as being a sound and correct expo- 
sition of the views of the republican party 
upon the finances of the country. We com- 
iiM<nd the eflTorts of the national administra- 
tion to secure an international monetary 



agreement, and urge that the attempt be 
renewed whenever an opirartunity to do so 
shall be presented. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We reaffirm our allegiance to the national 
platform of the . democratic party adopted 
at Chicago in 1896, and specifically declare 
our adherence to the paramount purpose 
enunciated in that platform, viz.: A return 
to the constitutional system of free and un- 
limited coinage of both gold and silver as 
money at the ratio of 16 to 1, without wait- 
ing for the consent of any other nation. 

PROHIBITION. 

The stability of our money system is based 
npon the industry and sobriety of the citi- 
zen. We believe that the currency problem 
has been largely produced by the brewery 
and distillery, which, through their agents, 
the saloons, have drawn from the products 
of our workingmen silver to be pilea up use- 
lessly in the banks, and, after being 
changed for gold, to be largely shipped to 
foreign countries. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We demand the free and unrestricted coin- 
age of silver and gold at the present legal 
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid 
or consent of any other nation, and we are 
unalterably opposed to the policy of the re- 
publican party in demanding the retirement 
of greenbacks and the surrender to national 
banks of the sovereign power of issuing 
money, and we especially denounce the 
avowed attempt of said party to fasten upon 
the country irrevocably and forever the 
single gold standard. 

We demand a national money, safe and 
sound. Issued by the general government 
only, without the intervention of banks of 
issue, to be full legal tender for all debts, 
public and private; also a Just, equitable 
and efficient means of distribution direct to 
the people through the lawful disburse- 
ments of the government. 

We demand that the volume of circulating 
medium be speedily increased to an amount 
sufficient to meet the demands of a growing 
business and population of the country and 
to restore the :Ju8t level of prices of labor 
and production. 

We demand such legislation as will pre- 
vent for the future the demonetization of 
any kind of legal-tender money by private 
contract. 

We demand that the government, in pay- 
ment of its obligations, shall use its option 
as to the kind of money in which they are 
to be paid, and we denounce the present and 
preceding administrations for surrendering 
this option to the holders of government ob- 
ligations. 

we demand that there shall be no further 
issue of United States interest-bearing 
bonds. 

COLORADO. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We favor the restoration of the money of 
the constitution by throwing open the mints 



mm

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899. 



of the countnr to the free and unlimited 
coinage of gold and silyer at the ratio of 
16 to 1. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The democratic party of the state of Colo- 
rado reaffirms the fundamental principles of 
the national democratic platform adopted in 
Chicago in 1896. The free and unlimited 
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 
to 1, and without the consent of any other 
nation on earth, is and must remain the 

ftaramount issue in American politics until 
t is accomplished by national legislation. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

The silver republicans of the state of 
Colorado again declare their allegiance to 
the cause of bimetallism and demand the 
restoration of silver to an equal plane of 
dignity and power with gold as a monetary 
metal, and that the mints of the United 
States be opened to the coinage of both sil- 
ver and gold at the old ratio of 16 to 1, 
without asking or awaiting the aid or con- 
sent of any other nation. The gold standard 
was introduced to the financial systems of 
the leading nations of the world twenty-five 
years ago, without popular demand or 
knowledge, and has proved a disastrous ex- 
periment from that time to this. Numerous 
international conventions have been called 
for the sole purpose of getting rid of it, 
and in every leading nation commissions al- 
most without number appointed to investi- 
gate the progressive depression In agricul- 
ture and trade have reported in favor of its 
abolition. 

By depriving silver of its rights and by 
vastly adding to the demand for gold the 
par of exchange between gold-using and sil- 
ver-using nations has been broken and trade 
between them reduced to a game of hazard. 
The increased necessity of attempting to do 
more business with loss money has involved 
a ruinous fall of prices, with resulting dis- 
couragement to enterprises, loss of employ- 
ment to labor, multiplication of the bur- 
dens of debt, taxes and fixed charges, the 
growth of trusts and combines, and the ag- 
grandizement of the hoarders as against the 
producers of wealth. 

We declare that the only practicable 
method of restoring un vexed commercial re- 
lations between gold-using and silver-using 
countries, and of stopping the fall of prices 
with its resultant wrongs, is to be found In 
a return to the time-honored policy of bi- 
metallism. The evil results of the gold- 
standard experiment are not denied by its 
advocates and they stand mute in the face 
of a demand for a remedy. To enforce the 
gold standard throughout the world is im- 
josslble. IThe present condition is intolera- 
>le. The silver republican party and Its al- 
les believe that the issue thus presented 
s the most important In American politics 
and calls for settlement before all others. 

We arraign the gold-standard republican 
party for Its attemnted deception of the 
American people bv false pretenses in favor 
of an international agreement for the free 
coinage of silver, while actively engaged in 
furthering the designs of the gold monopoly 
and the bankers' trust, and we congratulate 
the American people that In the present at- 
titude of the administration and in the 
declarations of the leading republican state 
conventions of this year the nation at last 
has frank avowal by that party of Its abso- 
lute surrender to the gold-standard system. 

In the state of Colorado an especial effort 
has been made to cloak and disguise the de- 



signs of the supporters of the gold standard. 
The history of these times is a woeful chap- 
ter in the literature of political dissimula- 
tion. It has within tne last few days 
reached its appropriate culmination in an 
act which has disgraced the state and may 
well appall the citizenship of the country. 
The advocates of the ^id standard in Colo- 
rado have attempted the theft of a whole 
political party. The unfortunate occurrence 
at the opera house in Colorado Springs on 
the morning of Sept. 7 is a fit illustration of 
the desperation of these men and of the ex- 
tent to which they are willing to go In 
furtherance of this scheme to thwart the 
will of the silver republicans of Colorado. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

The people's party of the state of Colorado 
reaffirms its unswerving allegiance to the 
principles of the Omaha and St. Louis na- 
tional platforms of 1892 and 1896. We be- 
lieve the financial question to be the para- 
mount question of the present campaign, 
and we reiterate our demand for the free 
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 
the constitutional rate of 16 to 1. -^ 



(XMfNBCnCUT. 
REPUBLICAN. 

After the experience of the last two years 
It [the party] reaffirms its advocacy of th« 
single standard of value, and that standard 
gold, as the only financial policy which will 
assure public confidence and national credit 
at home and abroad, and which will pro-- 
mote such investment of capital in the en- 
terprise of commerce, trade and manufac^ 
ture as will insure a remunerative employ- 
ment to the farmers, mechanics and wage-' 
earners of America. 

It believes that the impossibility of eflTect- 
ing an international agreement with the 
loading commercial nations of the world tor 
the free coinage of silver has been cleariy 
demonstrated. It therefore favors such na- 
tional monetary legislation as will main- 
tain our paper and silver currency at a 
parity wltn gold, by which the weight of a 
gold dollar shall be established at the pres- 
ent standard, and by which every paper and 
silver dollar and every obligation for the 
payment of money shell be redeemable In 
gold, and such changes as in our present 
monetary system as will furnish ample 
credit facillMes for conducting business in 
all parts of the country, by the retirement 
of government notes and the issue of bank 
notes so secured as to insure their redemp- 
tion in gold of the present standard of fine- 
ness. To the accomplishment of these re- 
sults it cordially asks the co-operation and 
support of all gold democrats and patriotic 
Americans, and earnestly Invites them to 
unite in the support of its platf<M:m and 
tickets. 

DELAWARE. 

REPUBLICAN. 

Believing that the money of the ffovem- 
ment should be the best In the world, and 
that Its value should be unquestioned every- 
where, we demand the maintenance by the 
government of the present gold standard ot 
the value of said money, that notes of the 
government payable on demand shall only 
be issued when gold to the amount of the 
notes so Issued is deposited with the na- 
tional treasury for the redemption thereof. 
And that the gold so deposited shall be pre- 



r 



i* 



UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.

serred and kept In said treasury for the 
sole purpose of redeeming such notes. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The necessity of reforming our currency 
system is admitted on all sides and con- 
fessed by the president himself (who sent 
a monetavy commission abroad to consult 
foreign governments and asked for the ap- 
pointment of another monetary commission 
to consider the question here at home) ; but, 
notwithstanding the admitted evils of our 
present complicated. Illogical and injurious 
currency system, the republican congress 
and administration have taken no positive 
and effective measure for reform. 



GE90R6IA. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

We reaffirm and indorse the democratic 
national platform as adopted at Chicago in 
1896, and especially do we reiterate and 
urge its declaration upon the question of 
currency reform and the free and unlimited 
coinage of both gold and silver at the exist- 
ing ratio of 16 to 1, and without the aid or 
consent of any other nation. We emphasize 
the declaration of that platform and also of 
the platform of the Georgia democracy of 
the same year, in its unalterable opposition 
to the single gold standard, and we hold 
that events have jusFtified the truth of every 
charge made against it in the campaign of 
1896. 

IDAHO. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We heartily indorse the financial policy 
of the republican party as the same has 
been applied to the management of the 
financial affairs of the government. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

Demands "the free and unlimited coinage 
of both gold and silver at the present es- 
tablished ratio of 16 to 1 by independent 
action of the United States, without wait- 
ing for the consent or permlflsion of other 
nations.*' 

ILLINOIS. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We invite the attention of the people of 
niinolB to the fact that upon the surrender 
by the republican party in 1893 of the affairs 
of the nation to the democratic party there 
was then and there closed an era of prosper- 
ity unprecedented in this country; that fol- 
lowing the inauguration of President Cleve- 
land in 1893 new policies of administration 
were adopted, old, tried and approved 
policies of the republican party were re- 
jected, and there followed an era of busi- 
ness depression, commercial distress, finan- 
cial embarrassment and Injury to labor too 
familiar to all, and of greater evil than had 
occurred in this country since the close of 
the war of the rebellion. 

The republican party was restored to pow- 
er in 1897 and was confronted with the prob- 
lem of rest(^ng to the people of the United 
State« a greater and more reasonable meas- 
ure of prosperity. To do this President Mc- 
Kinley convened congress in session In 
eleven days after his Inauguration. The re- 
publican party was unable to see how 
prosperity could be brought to the laborer 
and to business by paying labor in df^proci- 



ated currency and transacting business upon 
such a basis. Properly to protect labor and 
capital and maintain a safe and sound cur- 
rency were made the cardinal doctrines of 
the party. The revenues of the government, 
which had run down until they were far 
inadequate to meet the current expenses of 
tihe government, gradually began to increase 
until they reached a sum equal to the neces- 
sary normal current requirements of the 
government. Labor, which had been poorly 
paid and much of it idle, found employment 
at increased wages. In short, the conditions 
of the country were so developed that It 
was possible that the mass of the people 
might become more prosperous. Tb all of 
which we point with most commendable 
pride. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

Pledges the party to "the free and un- 
limited coinage of both silver and gold at 
the present established ratio of 16 to 1, by 
independent action of the United States, 
without waiting for the consent or permis- 
sion of other nations." 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We are uncompromisingly opposed to 
banks of Issue under any name or title 
whatsoever. Both of the old parties during 
their entire existence have both favored and 
fathered such labor-robbing Institutions. 

We are opposed to the issuance of govern- 
ment treasury notes, promises to pay some 
body In coin, because that somebody ever 
has and ever will be the money changer, a 
vile and useless creature who under and by 
means of such a system of money has been 
the overshadowing curse of all nations in 
all ages of the world. Both of the old 
parties by virtue of the influences that con- 
trol them are eternally pledged to a re- 
deemable currency, the one favoring a sin- 
gle gold redeemer, the other favoring two 
redeemers, silver and gold. 

We stand unalterably opposed under any 
circumstances to the issuance of interest- 
bearing United States bonds. Both of the 
old parties are wedded to the bond and 
bondage method of raising money. 

We believe It to be the right and the duty 
of the people in their governmental capacity 
to issue full legal-tender paper money In 
such amounts as the industrial and business 
needs of the country may from time to time 
require, and that without any regard what- 
ever to the wish or will of a panic-making, 
business-paralyzing, labor-enslaving and 
man-degrading money trust, composed of 
money changers at home or abroad. Both 
of the old parties during their entire exist- 
ence have been wedded to the single or 
double barreled specie basis system of 
money, by means of which nothing but gold, 
or gold and silver, can be a full legal tender 
for debts within the United States. 

We demand, as long as either of the 
metals Is used as money, the Independent, 
fi-ee and unlimited coinage of both sliver 
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. 



INDIANA. 

REPUBLICAN. 

The republicans of Indiana are unreserv- 
edly for sound money, and are therefore op- 
posed to the heresy to which the democratic 
party is wedded of the free and unlimited 
coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio 
of 16 to 1, which we regard as absolutely

UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.

KANSAS. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm the principles enunciated in 
the national republican platform of 1896 and 
direct attention to the fact tnat every prom- 
ise has been kept and every prediction has 
been verified. We heartily approve the pol- 
14^ of President McKinley in the prepara- 
tion for and conduct of the war and pledge 
to him our loyal support in this contest, 
begun as it was at the dictates of humanity 
aula waged as it is for the honor of the 
nation and the freedom of the oppressed. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We. the democrats of Kansas, pledge our 
allegiance to the principles of the renewed 
democracy which found expression in the 
democratic national platform of 1896. We 
stand to-day for every principle therein 
enunciated and especially for the free and 
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the 
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the 
consent of foreign nations. We take special 
pleasure in recording our appreciation and 
indorsement of the splendid campaign 
waged in behalf of people's rights by their 
intrepid champion, who stands in merit and 
esteem with the historic leaders of democ- 
racy, William J. Bryan. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We demand the free and unlimited coln- 
aee of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 of 
silver to 1 of gold and the issue of legal- 
tender notes good for all debts in preference 
to the issue of interest-bearing bonds. 

We oppose the issuance of all bonds and 
we condemn the republican party for its ac- 
tion in fastening upon the people a large 
bonded debt ostensibly for war revenue, but 
in reality for the perpetuation of the na- 
tional banking system. 



MAINE. 
REPUBLICAN. 

Demand **a curren<^ for business and 
labor, the soldier and the pensioner, that is' 
M good as gold the world over; all neces- 
sary legislation in the interest of labor, of 
temperance, education and economy in the 
state administration." 

DEMOCRATIC. 

An unqualified indorsement of the pHnd- 
Ples of the Chicago platform. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We are opposed to the labor-robbing in- 
stitutions known as national banks, and de- 
nuKnd that the government alone shall have 
the power to issue money and regulate the 
▼alue thereof: this money should be a full 
legal tender for all debts, public and pri- 
vate, and issued in sumcient volume to 
transact the legitimate business of the 
wmntry. 

The system of issuing bonds in every pub- 
lic emergency is most dangerous and per- 
nicious and should be strictly prohibited by 
the American people. 

As long as the barbaric system of metal 
ffioney is retained we demand that silver 
8i)ould receive the same recognition as gold 
and be admitted to our mints for free coin- 
age in the ratio of 16 to 1. 



MASSACHUSETTS. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We affirm anew our suppori of sound 
naoney. True to the pledge of the St. Louis 



platform, the president and congress, ear- 
nestly and in good faith, strove to secure 
an agreement of the great commercial na- 
tions for the coinage of silver and gold at 
an established ratio. The attempt has ut- 
terly failed. All our currency must rest 
upon the single gold standard. Every dollar 
must be kept equal in value to the dollar 
in gold. All government indebtedness 
which, by the terms of the contract, is pay- 
able in coin must be paid in gold at the 
option of the creditor. We rejoice in the 
defeat of the Teller resolution in a repub- 
lican house of representatives as the repulse 
of an attack upon the integrity of our mone- 
tary system and the fair fame of the re- 
public. 

The time has come for the reform of our 
currency in the direction of the ready con- 
version of its different forms, each into the 
other, and the redemption of all in gold 
upon demand, with adequate provision for 
the extension of banking facilities to the ag- 
ricultural and sparsely settled portions of 
the country, to the end that in those sections 
capital may be responsive to the demands 
of business and lower rates of interest pre- 
vail. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The democracy of Massachusetts inoorses 
and reaffirms with emphasis and profound 
conviction the great and patriotic platform 
of principles adopted by the party in na- 
tional convention at Chicago In 1896. In 
that year both political parties, confronted 
by a disastrous depression in production and 

general business, oy the distress of labor, 
y the condition of financial affairs and the 
monetary system in particular, declared a 
return to bimetallism to be a measure calcu- 
lated to remedy the existing evils. 

The republican party, impressed with the 
importance of the restoration of bimetal- 
lism, pledged itself to promote the same by 
international agreement, while the demo- 
cratic party declared that the United 
States, with or without the co-operation of 
other nations, should restore the free and 
unlimited coinage of silver and gold. 

After two years we find the promises of 
the victorious party wholly unfulfilled. The 
business of our country is, in reality, in a 
more deplorable condition than in 1896. The 
promised prosperity has not been realized; 
nothing better than a specious local activity 
has anywhere appeared. The general in- 
dustrial and economic condition runs at 
even a lower ebb than when the present 
administration was put into power. The 
wages of labor have been reduced. Thou- 
sands of workingmen have been thrown out 
of employment in the dead of winter; other 
thousands are working on part time and are 
struggling desperately with adverse condi- 
tions. 

The futile policy of the republican admin- 
istration in sending a commission to Europe 
to secure international bimetallism and at 
the same time in thwarting and bringing to 
naught every effort of that commission and 
in making its success impossible has re- 
vealed the predetermined purpose of the re- 
publican party to violate Its pledges to the 
American people and to prevent bimetallism 
in any form, not only in the United States, 
but throughout the world. 

The democratic party, with a conviction 
and persistency which have now been con- 
firmed by the observation and experience of 
two additional years of disaster, again de- 
mands the return to bimetallism by restor- 
ing silver and gold to coinage at the ratio 
which was maintained during so many pros-

tbe campaign entitle him to the lasting 
gratitude of the people. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm our attachment and loyalty 
to the principles of Washington, Jefferson, 
Lincoln and Bryan. 

We reaffirm and indorse the principles 
laid down In the platform of the national 
repablican convention which met in Min- 
neapolis in 1892, which declared as follows: 
**The American people, from tradition and 
interest, favor bimetallism. The republican 
party demands the use of both gold and 
silver as standard money." 

We denounce and repudiate the humilia- 
ting and degenerate doctrine of the national 
republican platform, adopted at St. Louis 
in 1896, dictated by the gold monopoly forces 
of the world and the great trusts and cor- 
porations which contributed so liberally to 
its campaign fund, to the effect that the 
gold standard mnst be maintained in this 
country until foreign nations consent to our 
use of silver as standard money. 

MISSOURI. 

REPUBLICAN. 
We reaffirm our faith in the declaration 
of principles of the republican party of 189S, 
and in this connection we call the attention 
of the people to the fact that the national 
administration, under the control and with 
the support of the republican party, has 
faithfully redeemed every pledge in that 
platform; has restored the public credit, 
dispelled panic and depression, revived in- 
dustry and trade, reopened the factories 
and workshops of the nation, renewed and 
restored enterprise and production, and 
given full protection to American citizens 
and American interests at home and abroad, 
Inspired the American people with renewed 
hope and new and honorable aspirations, 
and has again demonstrated that tne repub- 
lican party is the party of progrress, entitled 
to the confidence of the people and furnish- 
ing In its administration of public affairs 
the surest proof of the stability and success 
of free Institutions. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The democrats of Missouri reindorse the 
national platform adopted at Chicago in 
1896, and especially do we renew our de- 
mand.for the free and unlimited coinage of 
silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of 
any other nation, and this demand we espe- 
oiallv emphasize at this time by reasserting 
our belief that the money question is and 
will remain the most important of all po- 
litical questions affecting the prosperity and 
happiness of our people until it is finally 
settled by the restoration of bimetallic coin- 
age in accordance with our demand. And 
we declare our unswerving confidence in Col. 
William J. Bryan as the leading exponent 
of the foregoing principles. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

Resolved, That we favor the issue of full 
legal-tender paper money to pay the ex- 
penses of the Spanish-American war, and 
that we are unalterably opposed to the is- 
sue of interest-bearing bonds either in time 
of war or peace. 

MONTANA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We indorse without reservation or excep- 



tion the declaration of principles adopted 
by the last national republican convention 
as promising wise policies of public action 
and bringing to the country a prosperity 
which we have not heretofore known. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The democrats of Montana in state con- 
vention assembled reaffirm their belief in the 
great principles of Jeffersonian democracy 
as expressed in the Chicago platform. They 
declare that the free and unlimited coinage 
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is the para- 
mount issue of American politics to-day. 

They enthusiastically and loyally accept 
and support the leadership of William J. 
Bryan, whose record meets their entire ap- 
probation and admiration. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm our belief in and devotion to 
the principle of bimetallism as expressed in 
the aeclaration for the free coinage of silver 
and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1 by the inde- 

?endent action of the United States, and 
hat we firmly believe the only method 
through which this desirable result can be 
attained and the country placed on a basis 
of permanent prosperity is the policy of a 
fusion of the silver forces so clearly and 
ably outlined by William J. Bryan and 
other national leaders in the movement for 
the restoration of silver as money of ulti- 
mate redemption. 

NEBRASKA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We favor the payment of our soldiers and 
sailors in the same money paid bondholders. 

We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to the 
principles enunciated in the republican na- 
tional platform of 1896. We are in favor of 
the maintenance of the present gold stand- 
ard and unalterably opposed to the free and 
unlimited coinage of silver. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We are proud to belong to a party that 
acknowledges as its chieftain and leader the 
Hon. W. J. Bryan, the people's champion, 
whom arm is ever lifted in defense of their 
rights and in redressing their wrongs wheth- 
er in peace or in war. 

We renew our allegiance to the principles 
taught by Thomas Jefferson and courageous- 
ly defended by Andrew Jackson, and we de- 
mand that the great political problems of 
to-day be solved by the application of these 
principles to the present conditions; and, 
therefore, reaffirm our adherence to the 
platform of 1896, adopted by the democratic 
party in aational convention assembled. 
And that the paramount issue of the cam- 
paign of 1900 ought and will be the restora- 
tion of our monetary system to its position 
prior to 1873, the free and unlimited coinage 
of the two metals at the ratio of 16 to i, 
and believe that no permanent prosperity 
will reward the efforts of our producers 
until such a law is enacted. 

We believe that all money issued by the 
government, whether gold, silver or paper, 
should be made a full legal tender for all 
debts, public and private, and that no cit- 
izen should be permitted to demonetize by 
contract that wnich the government makes 
money by law. 

We further declare that we are opposed 
to banks of issue, and demand that all 
money, whether gold, silver or paper, shall 
be issued by the national government. 

While always willing and ready to furnish

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899. 



for the support of the nation in her hour of 
peril eyery dollar of our property and every 
possible assistance, both in money and men, 
the democratic party is opposed to the is- 
suance of interest-bearing bonds except as 
a last resort, but is in favor of the issu- 
ance of full legal-tender money, and we hold 
the recent issue of $200,000,000 of bonds un- 
necessary under the circumstances and 
therefore condenm it. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

We reaflarm the principles set forth In the 
party platform at our last state convention, 
and we take no backward step on the 
money question. We are in favor of the free 
and unlimited coinage of both gold and sil- 
ver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, 
without waiting for the consent of any other 
nation on earth. 

Maintaining and supporting republican 
principles upon the question of gold and sli- 
ver as money as advocated by the old repub- 
lican party until its repudiation of those 
principles at 8t. Louis in 1896, we renew 
our loyalty to the principles thus repudiated 
at the behest of tne money power, and de- 
clare, as formerly declared ny the old re- 
publican party and its honored leaders and 
accepted as good republican doctrine, as 
well as a doctrine as old as the national 
constitution itself, that we are In favor of 
the use of both gold and silver as money, 
and we condemn the policy of the gold- 
standard republican administration In its 
efforts to demonetize silver. 

Silver is the money of the constltntion ; 
indeed, the money of the American people 
anterior to the constitution, which the great 
organic law recognized as quite independent 
of its own existence. The people are too 
intelligent to permit values to be measured 
in gold alone. This would make money 
dearer and property cheaper. We are for 
the largest nse of silver in the currency of 
the country. We would not dishonor it; we 
would give it equal credit and honor with 
gold; we would make no discrimination; we 
would utilize both metals and discredit 
neither; we want the double standard. Sil- 
ver, until a few years ago, was money the 
wide world over. Silver was one of the 
standard coins of the United States from 
the birth of Independence until demone- 
tization crept into the statute of congress, 
either by fraud or mistake. 



NEVADA. 

REPUBLICAN. 
Resolved, That we reiterate oar faith In 
and devotion to the great republican prin- 
ciples of bimetallism, protection and reci- 
procity. We are firmly convinced that the 
final adjustment of the money question must 
come by and through the republican party. 
The party is pledged to bimetallism. We 
therefore declare that the settlenient of this 
important question may safely be left to 
the great republican party of the nation. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We reiterate with emphasis that the 
financial question is the paramount issue 
and demand the free and unrestricted coin- 
age of silver and gold at the American ratio 
of 16 to 1. 

We denounce in unmeasured terms the ac- 
tion of the republican party and the demo- 
cratic party In advocating the redemption 
of legal tenders in gold or in coin, and we 



demand that all United States money, 
whether of gold, silver or paper, be made a 
full legal tender without any exception 
clause whatever. 

The recent bond issue was one of the most 
atrocious financial acts of the nineteenth 
century, and the indecent haste with which 
the administration Issued the bonds when 
the treasury was already overflowing with 
lawful money proves conclusively that Wall 
street and the bondholders have an nnfatr 
and corrupt influence over the treasury de- 
partment. 

The so-called gold reserve is a disguise to 
our financial power and boundless resources, 
and we demand that it be abolished. 



NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
REPUBLICAN. 
The repablicans of New Hampshire reaf- 
firm the St. Louis platform, especially in- 
dorsing the gold standard as therein pro- 
vided, and congratulate the people upon the 
speedy fulfillment of its important pledges. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
We, the democrats of New Hampshire, re- 
affirm the principles of the democratic party 
as announced in the national conventions 
since the foundation of the party. We em- 
phatically declare our admiration tor and 
confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of 
our great leader, William J. Bryan. 



NEW JEBSBT. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We indorse the national platform of 1896 
and * 'specifically declare our undying oppo- 
sition to any proposition to debase the na- 
tional currency, a proposition so repugnant 
that the voters of New Jersey buried it un- 
der an unprecedented majority of 87,000 
when they declared in favor of the repre- 
sentatives of national honor and honesty, 
McKinley and Hobart." 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 
We demand a national currency, safe, 
sound and fiexible. issued by general gov- 
ernment only, a full legal tender for all 
debts, public and private, and that without 
the nse of banking corporations, a just, 
equitable and efficient means of distribu- 
tion direct to the people at a tax nofei to ex- 
ceed 2 per cent per annum, to be provided 
as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of tb«> 
Farmers' alliance, or a better system; also 
by payments in discharge of its obligatiODS 
for public Improvements. 

We demand that the amount of circula 
ting medium be speedily Increased to not 
less than $60 per capita. 



NEW YORK. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We renew onr allegiance to the doctrines 
of the St. Louis#platform. We continue to 
condemn and resist the democratic policies 
declared at Chicago. The organised demo- 
cratic party of the nation adheres to these 
policies of free silver and free trade, and 
denies the right of the courts and of the 
government to protect persons and prop^ty 
from violence. On the coming 8th of No- 
vember we are to elect not only our state 
officers, but also representatives in conness 
and members of our state legislature. Tniat 



UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.

legislature, in its turn, will elect a United 
States senator to succeed the present demo- 
cratic senotor from this state. 

The election of republican members of 
congress and of a republican state legisla- 
ture will mean that New York will stand 
for the maintenance of the gold standard 
and for such a revision of the currency laws 
as will guarantee to the labor of the coun- 
try that every promise to pay a dollar, is- 
sued under the authority of the United 
States, shall be of absolute and equal value 
with a gold dollar always and everywhere. 



NORTH CAROLINA. 

REPUBLICAN. 

The republican party of North Carolina 
renews its allegiance to the principles and 
policies set forth in the national repub- 
lican platform adopted at St. Louis in 1896; 
and we point with pride and enthusiasm to 
the triumphant vindication of those prin- 
ciples and policies under the wise and 
splendid administration of William McKin- 
ley. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We denounce the republican party for its 
defeat of the Teller resolutions declaring 
our national bonds payable in silver as well 
as gold, and denounce it for its determined 
purpose of more thoroughly fastening the 
single gold standard upon our people, and 
for its avowed hostility lo the free and un- 
limited coinage of silver, as well as gold, 
at the ratio of 16 to 1, into full legal-tender 
money. 

We denounce the republican party for its 
determination to issue bonds at this time, 
and we denounce the republican war tax 
bill which lately passed the house of repre- 
sentatives as unjust, unequal in its burdens, 
unnecessary and vexatious, and we demand 
that the silver seignoirage be coined, that 
tfn income tax be levied, and that the sec- 
retary of the treasury be authorized to is- 
sue tne necessary amount of full legal-ten- 
der greenbacks, or United States treasury 
notes, in order to meet the expenses of the 
war with Spain and to supply the revenue 
deficit under the Dingley law. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We believe that all money demands should 
be payable in the lawful money of the 
United States without preference or dis- 
crimination, and therefore favor the pas- 
sage by the general assembly of a law to 
Krohiblt the taking or giving of gold notes, 
onds and mortgages in this state, and to 
make all the money demands solvable in 
any kind of lawful money of the United 
States. 

We condemn the present national admin- 
istration for its efforts to fasten upon the 
people and future generations the burden of 
interest-bearing bonds and for indorsing and 
carrying out the infamous bond and monop- 
oly policy of the preceding administration 
of Grover Cleveland. 

We commend the action of the populists, 
silver republicans and silver democrats in 
congress for their wise, brave and patriotic 
course in solidly co-operating to strike out 
the bond provision of the pending war rev- 
enue bill and to substitute therefor an issue 
of greenbacks and the coinage of the silver 
seigniorage to carry on the war. 



NORTH DAKOTA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

Money being an instrument of internation- 
al concern, we are unalterably opposed to 
the independent free coinage of silver. The 
currency of the American people is now and 
should continue to be the best in the world, 
and the parity of all forms of money should 
be maintained by wise and conservative 
laws. We favor the use of both gold and 
silver as the standard of all commercial 
countries, and indorse the efforts of the re- 
publican administration to promote the 
policy of bimetallism under agreement with 
the civilized nations of the world. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We reaflSrm our belief in and adherence 
to the great principles of the democratic 
party as laid down in the democratic plat- 
form at the Chicago national convention of 

1896. _^ 

OHIO. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm the declaration of facts and 
principles adopted by the eleventh national 
republican convention at St. Louis June 17, 
1896. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We reaffirm the platform of principles 
adopted at Chicago by the democrats at 
their convention in July, 1896. And we par- 
ticularly reaffirm and indorse the financial 
plank therein, declaring for the free and un- 
limited coinage of silver and gold at the 
ratio of 16 to 1, independent of any and all 
other nations. 

NATIONAL LIBERTY PARTY. 

All money should be Issued by the general 
government onlv, and without the interven- 
tion of any private citizen, corporation or 
banking institution. It should be based 
upon the wealth, stability and Integrity of 
the nation. It should be a full legal tender 
for all debts, public and private, and should 
be of sufficient volume to meet the demands 
of the legitimate business interests of the 
country. For the purpose of honestly liqui- 
dating our outstanding coin obligations we 
favor the free and unllmitfHl coinage of both 
silver and gold, at a ratio of 16 to 1, without 
consulting any other nation. As a partial 
remedy for our financial troubles we declare 
for postal savings banks. 



OREGON. 

REPUBLICAN. 
We are in favor of the maintenance of the 
present gold standard; we are unquallJiedly 
opposed to the free coinage of silver and to 
all other schemes looking to the debasement 
of the currency and the repudiation of debt. 
We believe that the best money in the world 
is none too good to be assured by the gov- 
ernment to the laborer as the fruit of his 
toll and to the farmer as the price of his 
crop. We condemn the continued agitation 
for free silver as calculated to jeopardize 
the prosperity of the country and to shake 
the confidence of the people in the mainte- 
nance of a wise financial policy; we particu- 
larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts of 
the free-silver agitators to array class 
against class and section against section; 
we declare that the Interests ot all classes

"We distinctly reaflarm our position In 
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of 
atl-ver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and our unal- 
terable opposition to the issue of interest- 
bearing bonds in time of peace or war. 

We are opposed to banks of issue and in 
tsLTOT of the issue of all money direct by 
tlie goyernment. 

TENNESSEE. 

REPUBLICAN. 
As to the national issues, we heartily in- 
dorse the platform adopted by the national 
republican conyention held at St. Louis, 
1896, and reaffirm our allegiance to the prin- 
ciples therein, declared. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We hereby indorse the enunciation of 

Srinciples contained in the democratic plat- 
orm adopted by the national democratic 
conyention at Chicago in 1896, it being a 
true expression of the democratic creed. 
'We especially reaffirm our demand for the 
restitution of the money of the constitution 
by a law proyiding for the free and unlim- 
ited coinage of gold and silyer at a ratio of 
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of 
any other nation. 

We oppose the increase of the public debt 
by the issuance of interest-bearing bonds 
and condemn the action of the present re- 
publican administration in the issuance of 
such bonds instead of treasury warrants, 
which warrants would furnish a circulating 
medium and would be taxable, while inter- 
est-bearing bonds are not taxable and will 
not circulate as currency. 

We demand that all obligations of tbe 
United States shall be discharged according 
to the terms of the contract In either gold 
or silver at the option of the goyernment 
and not at the option of the creditor. 



UTAH. 






REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm our allegiance to the cause of 
tbe free coinage of silyer at the ratio of 16 
to 1, independent of the action of any other 
nation, as fully det out in our first Utah 
state conyention platform, upon which we 
elected the present goyemor and other state 
officers. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We reaffirm the principles declared in the 
democratic platform adopted in Chicago for 
1896. The imperatlye necessity of the use 
of both gold and silyer for the purposes of 
money throughout the world is generally 
conceaed. The use of both is essential to 
the welfare and happiness of mankind. The 
re-establishment of such use is of such yital 
importance that no ordinary difficulty 
should be permitted to stand in the way of 
its attainment. It is generally acknowl- 
edged that without botn gold and silver 
people must sink in the scale of happiness 
ana civilization. They must languish In 
poverty. They must continue to struggle in 
vain to better their condition. They must 
toil on without even the hope of adequate 
reward. Yet it is said that for this pervad- 
ing, flagrant wrong there is and can be no 
remedy without the aid and consent of those 
who are and will remain deaf to all appeals 
for relief. It is true that at this time there 
is a right which cannot be made to prevail, 
a wrong for which there is no remedy. 
Have the maxims of our race proved false? 



There is a remedy. It is declared in the 
national platform of the democratic party, 
to which we now declare our steadfast de- 
votion. That remedy is the enactment of a 
law by the congress of the United States 
providing for the free and unlimited coinage 
of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 
1, without waiting for the aid or consent of 
other nations, such consent being notori- 
ously impossible to obtain; and that such 
coin be legal tender in payment of all debts, 
both public and private. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

Believing that this nation is caimble of 
passing and enforcing its own laws, we de- 
mand a law opening the mints to the free 
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at 
the present ratio of 16 to 1. 

We demand that the money of this coun- 
try be speedily increased by the Issuing of 
legal-tender notes to an amount sufficient to 
transact the business of the countiy upon a 
cash basis, and that all money, gold, silver 
or paper, be made a full legal tender for ail 
debts, thereby making "every dollar as good 
as every other dollar." 



TEXAS. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin- 
ciples laid down by the St. Louis platform 
in 1896, and we particularly announce that 
we are unreservedly for sound money. 

We heartily indorse the action and course 
of President McKlnley and the administra- 
tion since their inauguration. They have 
inspired universal confidence, restored nor- 
mal conditions in American industrial life 
and developed an industrial prosperity of 
unexampled proportions. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
We indorse In every particular the plat- 
form adopted by the national democratic 
conyention of Chicago in 1896, but we espe- 
cially commend and approve the declara- 
tions in favor of an Income tax, against the 
?ower of banks to issue money, for a tariff 
or revenue that will operate without dis- 
crimination against classes or sections and 
for the free and unlimited coinage of gold 
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, with full 
legal-tender qualities and without reference 
to the action of other governments. 

We declare that the present war excite- 
ment cannot and shall not obscure the 
money question, upon which the fight in 
1900 will be chiefly made, and that tbe in- 
terest now being taken in tbe 2.000,000 peo- 
ple of Cuba and Puerto Rico must not de- 
tract from the vital interest of the 75,000,000 
of our own people. 

VERMONT. 

REPUBLICAN. 
We reaffirm our loyalty to the cardinal 
principles of the republican party as enun- 
ciated in the platform of the national con- 
vention at St. Louis In 1896, especially to 
the doctrines of protection and sound money, 
and our confidence is unshaken that this 
party, which represents the mind and heart 
and conscience of the American people, will 
wisely settle the tremendous questions of 
American policy as they confront us. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
We, the democrats of Vermont, declare 
our adherence to the principles of democracy 



204 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899. 



formulated by Jefferson, exemplified by a 
long line of democratic statesmen since bis 
time and crystallized in the platform adopt- 
ed by the democratic national convention at 
Chicago In 1896. 

We lift aloft the unstained banner of the 
Vermont democracy and emphasize our un- 
swerving loyalty to the money of the con- 
stitution, the money of Washington, Jeffer- 
son, Jaclcson and the long line of illustrious 
American statesmen; the money that 
brought prosperity and contentment to this 
country for eighty years is the mon^y that 
will restore prosperity to business and a 
sufferljag people. The man who calmly de- 
liberates Is the man who will be impressed 
with the fact that the money standard of 
the Rothschilds, Morgans, Belmonts, Goulds 
and Sages is the standard these money bar- 
ons have purposely designed for their selfish 
upbuilding, and not to confer blessings upon 
the tolling and producing masses who plain- 
ly note their downward progress. 

The Vermont democracy takes especial 
pride in expressing its undiminished ad- 
miration of and confidence in William J. 
Bryan, whose unanswerable logic so clearly 
voices the principles and benefits of that 
government which confers the greatest good 
upon the greatest number of people. 

WASHINGTON. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We favor the existing gold standard and 
oppose the free and unlimited coinage of 
silver. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The act of 1873 demonetizing silver was 
surreptitious, passed without the approval 
or knowledge of the American people. This 
Infamous act demonetizing silver has cfiused 
the steady appreciation of gold, a corre- 
sponding fall in the prices of commodities 
?iroduced by the people, a heavy increase in 
he burden of all debts, public and private, 
the enrichment of the money-lending class, 
the paralysis of industry and the impover- 
ishment of the people. 

We therefore renew our demand for the 
free and unlimited coinage of both silver 
and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 
1, without waiting for the aid or consent of 
any other nation. We demand that stand- 
ard silver dollars shall be full legal tender, 
equally with gold, for all debts, public and 
private, and we favor such legislation as 
will prevent for the future the demonetiza- 
tion of any kind of legal-tender money by 
private contract. 

FUSION. 

We demand the re-establishment of bi- 
metallism by return to the free and un- 



limited coinage of both gold and sllv«;r into 
money at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, 
without waiting for the action of any other 
nation. 

We demand that our money shall be issued 
by the government only, without the Inter- 
vention of banks of issue, as full legal ten- 
der for all debts, public and private; that 
the volume of the circulating medium shall 
be sufiScient to meet the requirements of 
the country, for the purpose of restoring 
and maintaining a Just level of prices for 
labor and commodities, to the realization of 
all of which we pledge our representatives 
in congress. 

We demand that there shall be no forttier 
issue of United States interest-bearing 
bonds. 

WISCONSIN. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We believe that the declaration in the St. 
Louis national republican platform for the 
maintenance of the gold standard and the 
parity of our forms of money should be en- 
acted into law, and the money of the Amer- 
ican people should be made and kept, like 
all its institutions; the best in the world. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We affirm our allegiance to the demo- 
cratic principles, justice, liberty and equal- 
ity, upon which our institutions are founded 
and which the democratic party has advo- 
cated from Jefferson's time to our own, aiid 
we declare our firm devotion to demo- 
cratic principles as enunciated in the Chi- 
cago platform of 1896. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

The issue jof all money by the government 
directly to the people in connection with 
government savings banks. We hold that 
the issue is not so much between gold and 
silver, but whether the money of the coun- 
try shall be controlled by the government or 
by private banking corporations. 



WYOMING. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm the declaration of facts and 
principles adopted by the eleventh national 
republican convention at St. Louis, July 17, 

1896. 

The financial policy of the ret>ubllcan 
party having brought prosperity to the en- 
tire country and given us a place among the 
nations of the earth and enabled us to con- 
duct successfully a foreign war, we there- 
fore unhesitatingly reaffirm the financial 
plank of the platform as expressed by the 
national convention at St. Louis. 



THE WAB AKS FOKEION POLIOT. 



ALABAMA. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
Standing *'to arms" as we do to-day, we 
pledge our lives and sacred honor to the 
cause of our country, for its defense, for 
the maintenance of its honor and prestige 
and for its support in any conflict with a 
foreign foe. 

ARKANSAS. 
REPUBLICAN. 
To the army and navy of the restored 



union we send greetings and express our 
entire appreciation of the patriotic and he- 
roic feeling which has prompted their en- 
listment, our sincere sympatny with their 
trials and sacrifices, our deep and profound 
interest in their movements, our resolve to 
honor and applaud their services and our 
anxiety to welcome their triumphant return. 
The country to whose renown they are con- 
tributing will ever hold them in grateful re- 
membrance. 

We favor the annexation of Hawaii as a

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

We congratulate the country upon the 
conclusion of a war whose purpose was the 
highest that eyer impelled a nation to take 
up arms, and whose record of glory on land 
and sea has never been surpassed In history. 
We declare that the war was waged in def- 
erence to the demand of the liberty-loving 
people of this country, whose sympathies 
were aroused by the sufTering of the people 
of Cuba under the barbarous misgovern- 
ment of Spain; that it was an American 
war, and that the attempt manifested In 
some quarters to claim it as the property 
of a certain political party in this country 
is not creditable to the patriotism of those 
who make it. 

We declare our belief In the mission of 
the people of the United States as the evan- 
gel of liberty and self-government to the 
nations of the world, and In their ability to 
discbarge all of the reHponsibilltles which 
the fortunes of war have thrust upon them. 
Wherever the flag waves it shall be a sym- 
bol of civilized freedom and to all men who 
gaze upon its folds a guaranty of the In- 
alienable rights of life, liberty and the pur- 
suit of happiness, 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

Recognizing that the recent war with 
Spain for the liberation of Cuba has 
thrown upon our nation the resi>onsibility 
for the protection of millions of people de- 
based by centuries of inhumanity; there- 
fore, recognizing the injustice Involved In 
the return of these people to the conditions 
from which the United States has been the 
instrument of their release, we favor the 
retention and government of these islands 
over which our flag now floats and where 
our heroic dead lie buried, until such a 
time as a majority of the people of these 
respective countries shall express a desire 
to establish a government of their own. 

CONNECTICUT. 
REPUBLICAN. 

It [the party] approves the annexation 
of Hawaii and is In favor of acquiring and 
controlling such additional lands, naval sta- 
tions and harbors as will enable us at all 
times to give the most complete protection 
to our growing commerce with Asia and 
the countries of the far east. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We call attention to the fact that while a 
successful war in the cause of a common 
people adds fresh glory to their flag the 
management of the various war depart- 
ments has chilled our exultation and 
brought home to us a sense of shame. 

The American sailor and soldier have done 
their full duty, but the administration of 
President McKinley has been utterly In- 
competent to discharge the obligations 
which the management of the war imposed. 
Incompetency and venality In places of high 
trust have brought disgrace upon the ad- 
ministration and aroused the ire of an in- 
dignant people. 

DELAWARE. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We believe in the maintenance of an army 



and navy sufficient to assert and maintain 
the rights of our nation aod all its citisens 
against the encroachments of other nations. 

We believe that our seacoasts should be 
thoroughly fortified in the best manner. 

We believe that the United States should 
keep all territory either surrendered to it or 
captured by its forces in the late war wltn 
Spain. 

we congratulate the nation on the annex- 
ation of the Hawaiian Islands. While we 
congratulate the nation upon the completion 
of the war with Spain, we demand that 
there shall be a vigorous, thorough and 
honest investigation by a competent and 
impartial tribunal of the alleged disgrace- 
ful and incompetent management of our 
war department, whereby the lives of many 
of our brave soldiers and sailors were need- 
lessly sacrificed, and whereby the men who 
so cheerfully went forth to fight the na- 
tion's battles were without cause com- 
pelled to suffer great distress, discomfort, 
misery, starvation, sickness and death, and 
that the guilty parties, whoever they may 
be. be properly punished. 

We believe that the Nicaragua canal 
should 10^ built and controlled by the United 
States government. 

DEMOCRATIC' 

We heartily congratulate ourselves and 
the country on the happy ending of the war 
with Spain, and, now that its declared end 
has been accomplished, we demand that the 
country as quickly as possible be restored 
to the conditions of peace and that the bur- 
dens of war taxation be lessened. t 



FLORIDA. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

We rejoice in the brilliant successes at- 
tained by the American sailors and soldiers 
in the present war with Spain, and glory 
in the fact that the last vestige of sectional 
feeling has been swept away forever as we 
have assembled on the call of the nation as 
one people to meet a foreign foe, and that 
henceforth we shall know no north, no 
south, no east, no west, but shoulder to 
shoulder, with the star-spangled banner 
waving over us and the love of country in- 
spiring us, we shall onward march to the 
high destiny among the people of the earth 
for which the God of nations intended us. 

We condemn the policy of insular ter- 
ritorial expansion upon which the adminis- 
tration at Washington has embarked as 
unwise, un-American, unjust to the masses 
of our people, and especially to the labor- 
ing and producing classes, and as dan- 
gerous to our free institutions; and we 
pledge the democracy of the state of Florida 
to the opposition of the same. Whereas 
the present war with Spain was inaugurated 
for the declared purpose of aiding the Cu- 
ban patriots in their struggle for liberty 
and in the efforts to establish a free gov- 
ernment, and we have solemnly announced 
to the world that we have no intention to 
annex the Island of Cuba to the United 
States; and whereas war at best is un- 
Christianlike, demoralizing in its tendencies 
and a drain upon all the resources of the 
country; therefore, when the declared ob- 
jects of the present war shall be accom- 
plished it will be the duty of the govern- 
ment to grant peace on terms just to this 
government and honorable to our people, 
and in the adjustment of such terms of 



UTTERANCES OP STATE CONVENTIONS. 



207 



Et^ace Cuba shoald be left free by this gov- 
ernment and untrammeled by our army and 
nary to establish, by the free action of her 
people, a free and independent goyernment 
of its own; the democrats of Florida will 
support the administration in all its efforts 
to conduct the present war to an early, 
honorable and satisfactory close, and it 
would be an act of bad faith on the part 
of our goyernment and a blot upon our 
ciyillzatlon for us, as a result, either di- 
rectly or Indirectly, of the war, to annex 
the island of Cuba to the United States, and 
thus to rob the Cubans of that free and in- 
dependent government for which they have 
fought so long. 

GEORGIA. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

We affirm that the cause for which the 
United States is at present engaged in war 
with Spain is just and righteous. Without 
regard to political division, all loyal and 
patriotic citizens of the republic should 
unite in the support of the common cause 
represented by tne flag, and it is with pride 
that we point to the record of the demo- 
cratic party, made through its senators and 
representatives, in having been the tirst to 
urge in behalf of freedom and humanity ac- 
tive measures looking to the suppression of 
Spanish oppression in the West Indies. 
There is cause for universal congratulation 
in the fact that the patriotic uprising of 
the whole people has obliterated sectional- 
ism from the politics of our country, and 
while the people of the south unite with 
those of the north in cordial enthusiasm 
over the marvelous victory of Dewey in an- 
nihilating Spain's Asiatic fleet it is grati- 
fying to observe that those of the north are 
no less cordial in bestowing praise and com- 
mendation upon the heroic deeds of the two 
brave young southerners— Bagley and Hob- 
son— who, with their intrepid comrades, 
have won distinction which will render 
their names immortal and add new luster to 
the American navy. 

As to the incidental questions that will 
arise as the result of the war, we believe 
that the people can safely be trusted to dis- 
pose of every such question in a manner 
which will be in keeping with the spirit of 
our institutions and in harmony with the 
principles and record of the democratic 
party. This countiy should first address its 
undivided attention and throw its full en- 
ergy to securing decisive results in the war 
with Spain, rather than engage in political 
controversy over issues which are yet un- 
shaped, and which. In the nature of things, 
cannot be Intelligently discussed until the 
termination of the war. 



IDAHO. 

REPUBLICAN. 
We congratulate the nation upon the suc- 
cessful issue of the war with Spain, pros- 
ecuted under the direction of William Mc- 
Kinley, commander-in-chief of the army and 
navy of the United States, with the loyal 
support of the brave volunteers on both land 
and sea. We declare our hearty approval 
of the terms demanded of Spain by our 
president as the conditions of restored 
peace. And we declare our full and com- 

{>lete confidence In the patriotism and abil- 
ty of the republican administration to 



make such Just and- wise provisions touch- 
ing the government and control of our new- 
ly acquired territory as will best accord 
with the policy of our government and the 
best interests of all the people. And we 
declare our full faith and confidence In the 
patriotism and wisdom of the republican 
administration so to conduct the affairs of 
the nation, both at home and abroad, that 
the prosperity of our people and the honor 
of our flag will reach the highest mark to 
which our institutions entitle us to aspire. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We declare our unfaltering allegiance to 
the Monroe doctrine and are strenuously op- 
posed to the annexation of Cuba, believing 
that the inhabitants of that island shoula 
be given the opportunity of self-government. 
We also advocate the retention of all ter- 
ritory acquired by American valor in the 
war waged for humanity, always provided 
the people to be governed yield their con- 
sent. 

We pronounce the war with Spain Justi- 
fied by every consideration of Justice and 
sound national policy. We congratulate the 
democratic minority In congress for its 
firm stand In demanding the redress of our 
national honor and indorse the declaration 
of war on Spain and glory in its results. 

We rejoice in the glorious deeds of valor 
of our soldiers and sailors and greatly de- 
plore the fatalities and injuries which have 
so far resulted, and we favor the adoption 
of the most liberal policy toward the sick 
and wounded and the families of the slain. 



ILLINOIS. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We believe that the present war with 
Spain is a righteous and just cause. We 
rejoice that the American people are a unit 
in sustaining the government and that the 
spirit of patriotism has swept away the last 
vestige of sectional feeling. 

We pledge to the president the earnest 
support of the state or Illinois in the prose- 
cution of the war to a triumphant close. 

The United States should hold all the pos- 
sessions it has conquered and may conquer 
from Spain until the Spanish government 
has agreed and given security that it will 
pay the United States an indemnity for this 
affair, which might have been avoided had 
Spain been humane; also that the United 
States hold such possessions in the con- 
quered territory as shall be advantageous to 
its interests in tim^s of war and peace. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We reaffirm the Monroe doctrine and again 
pledge ourselves to abide by the advice of 
Washington, "to keep ourselves free from 
entangling alliances with foreign nations." 



INDIANA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

While we sincerely deplore the necessity 
of war, we believe the president and con- 
gress acted wisely In demanding the com- 
plete withdrawal of Spanish sovereignty 
from the island of Cuba and in proceeding 
to enforce the demand with the military and 
naval power of the government. And now 
that our army and navy, through their 
splendid achievements, have blessed our na-

tion with triumphs tiot excelled in the 
world's history, rendering many names 
illustrious and immortal, and adding pres- 
tige and glory, limited only by ciyilization, 
to our great republic, the occasion is one of 
supreme gratitude to the great Ruler of na- 
tions. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We congratulate the country on the uni- 
versal patriotic uprising which has swept 
away the last vestige of sectionalism and 
revealed us to the world as a united people. 
We rejoice in the heroic deeds of Dewey, 
Bagley, Hobson and their brave comrades, 
which have added new luster to the Amer- 
ican name. We demand, now as heretofore, 
the most vigorous prosecution of the war 
until it shall have ended in vindication of 
the national honor, the absolute relinquish- 
ment by Spain of possession or control of 
any part of the western hemisphere, and 
the formal acknowledgment by that king- 
dom of the independence of the Cuban re- 
public. We favor the prompt recognition by 
the United States of such independence as 
a war measure and as an act of justice to 
a brave people struggling for freedom. We 
urge the immediate increase of the volun- 
teer force? of our army and navy to any ex- 
tent necessary to assure speedy and decisive 
results, and the appropriation of all the 
funds requisite for the adequate equipment 
and support and for the comfort of our 
gallant soldiers and sailors in armed con- 
flict against the public enemy. The supreme 
duty of the hour is to relieve the perishing 
victims of Spanish cruelty and secure the 
complete triumph of the national arms. 
When this shall nave been accomplished the 
Justice and wisdom of the American people 
may be safely trusted to deal with all ques- 
tions which may grow out of existing com- 
plications, in such a way as best to pro- 
mote the objects for which this republic was 
founded. 

IOWA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We favor the upbuilding of the American 
merchant marine, the speedy construction 
of the Nicaragua canal, the securing of 
naval and coaling stations and the protec- 
tion of American rights In every quarter 
of the world with an adequate navy. 

The republican party, under whose policies 
and administration prosperity has be€?n re- 
stored and a foreign war successfully con- 
ducted, has earned the right to be further 
intrusted with the task of solving the ter- 
ritorial, colonial and commercial problems 
that have resulted from the war. 

It is due to the cause of humanity and 
civilization, for which the war with Spain 
was fought, that no people who have in 
consequence thereof been freed from op- 
pression shall, with the consent or through 
the indifference of the United States, be re- 
turned to such oppression or permitted to 
lapse Into barbarism. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The war with Spain was necessary and 
undertaken In the interest of humanity, and 
we commend the action of the democrats 
in congress who voted ample supplies for 
prosecuting it to a successful conclusion. 

We demand that the solemn declarations 
as to the purposes of the war be faithfully 
carried out by the government. We glory in 
the valor of the soldiers and sailors of the 



army and navy and rejoice in their unex- 
ampled victory on land and sea. The con- 
gress provided amply in money to furnish 
them supplies and the best of care when 
they became disabled by wounds or disease, 
and we denounce the criminal incompetency 
and negligence of the agents of the govern- 
ment who have caused them to suf^r and 
die In camp and hospitals for the lack of 
care which b\imanity and justice denaand. 
And we Insist upon a speedy, searching and 
impartial investigation to the end that the 
guilty may be exposed and fittingly pun- 

We express our unbounded admiration of 
the patriotic, self-sacrificing courage of the 
soldiers who enlisted but were not sent to 
the front, as well as those who faced shot 
and shell and deadly disease on foreign soil, 
and we hold that all are equally deserving 
of the love and gratitude of the republic. 

While recognizing the Importance and de- 
manding the maintenance of an effective 
navy, we hold that militarism Is a menacei 
to free Institutions and we oppose any 
policy which will supply a reason or a pre- 
text for supporting a large standing army In 
time of peace. 

The immortal Washington, few profound 
reasons, wisely warned his countrymen 
against entangling foreign alliances. The 
admonition is as pertinent as when it was 
uttered a century ago. Therefore, while 
sincerely desiring friendly relations with all I 
nations, we earnestly protest against alll-fi 
ance with any. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 
We are not in favor of adding to our 
population millions of Asiatics in far-off 
islands to compete in the field of labor, with 
our own producers and wage-earners. 

PROHIBITION. u 

While we believe in arbitration as the | 
best means of settling international diffi- 
culties, and we deplore the causes which 
have led to the present war with Spain, and 
while we hope for a speedy termination of 
said war, we pledge our loyalty to our gov- 
ernment in the present crisis, and we ear- 
nestly hope for the day when the govern- 
ment will intervene to rid our home land of 
the cruel rule of the saloon. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We indorse the present war with Spain 
upon the sentiment expressed In the joint 
resolution of the American congress that 
"the people of the island of Cuba are, and 
of right ought to be, free and independent, '- 
and we demand that the same be conducted 
upon that theory. To this end we therefore 
Insist upon a vigorous prosecution and 
speedy termination of the war and the es- 
tablishment of peace and local government 
upon the island. 

We cannot consent that this war, com- 
menced for the relief of suffering humanity 
there, shall be made a pretext for the main- 
tenance of a large standing army, or for 
territorial aggrandizement, or the cultiva- 
tion of a vainglorious military spirit with 
attendant burdens of increased taxation, 
perpetual interest-bearing debt and Inevi- 
table tendency toward monarchlcid govern- 
ment.

onstrated t^At our navy should be imme- 
diately strengthened and enlarged so that it 
will command and compel the respect of the 
world. We believe that the necessities of 
war have supplemented the arguments of 
peace and that the Nicaragua canal should 
be built as speedily as possible. We believe 
that the Hawaiian islands should be an- 
nexed and we urge our representatives in 
congress to support the resolution providing 
for their immediate acquisition. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
We are in favor of a vigorous prosecution 
of the present war with Spain, a"hd see in 
it not only the passing of Cuba from des- 
potism to freedom but for ourselves a more 
advanced place among the nations of the 
world and a broader commercial horizon. 
The American navy should be greatly en- 
larged and in its wake our merchant marine, 
ander new tariff laws, should open the 
world's markets to American buyers and 
sellers, and rights should be reserved in all 
territory conquered during the war to facil- 
itate and protect such extended commercial 
interests, but with no view to territorial 
aggrandizement nor the establishment of a 
colonial policy for this government. We 
congratulate our state that she was the first 
to respond to the president's call with her 
fnll quota of volunteers, and assure our 
Kansas soldiers that in this righteous bat- 
tle for human rights they will be followed 
through the march, the bivouac and the bat- 
tlefield by the hopes and prayers of their 
fellow-dtizens at home. 

PROHIBITION. 

In behalf of liberty and humanity we are 
In fullest sympathy with the action of con- 
gress touching Spain's long and continued 
and cruel oppression of Cuba. 



MAINE. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

While we deprecate the horrors of war. It 
is now the duty of all to give their aid and 
support In order to bring to a successful 
termination the present conflict, and we do 
hereby pledge our cordial support to all 
snch measures as are necessary to ac- 
complish the purpose for which this war 
was instituted. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

The present war with Spain, If conducted 
for the liberation of the Cuban people, is 
just and humane, but it should not be pro- 
longed for the benefit of contractors and 
money-lenders. 

MASSACHUSETTS. 
REPUBLICAN. 

The war with Spain, undertaken by the 
United States from the highest motives, 
lias been justified in the Intelligence and 
compassion of mankind. Our brilliant vic- 
tories have brought us solemn obligations 
and grave responsibilities, for we cannot, in 
the interest of honor, humanity or civiliza- 
tion, return to Spain the peoples whom we 
have freed from her tyranny. 

The people of Massachusetts do not pro- 
pose to abandon the ancient doctrines of re- 
publican liberty, upon which the common- 
w^tth 'and the country are builded, and by 
which the American people have grown to 
be without a rival among the nations in 



wealth, i>ower and happiness. What they 
enjoy themselves they desire shall be en- 
joyed by all other peoples, especially by 
those whom the valor of our soldiers and 
sailors have wrested from Spain, and whose 
destiny must now be determined by the 
United States alone. 

While we would not interfere with the 
diplomatic negotiations now in progress, we 
desire that they be so conducted and ter- 
minated as to secure to the Philippine is- 
lands and to Cuba in amplest measure the 
blessings of liberty and self-government. 

The building of the Nicaragua canal, con- 
trolled and operated by the United States, 
is now imperative. Our i)08se8sions in the 
Caribbean sea, the annexation of Hawaii, 
our position in the Philippine islands and 
the notable voyage of the Oregon have 
made Its necessity clear to all. We confi- 
dently look to congress for the early under- 
taking of this work and its completion wlthf 
all reasonable dispatch. ** 

DEMOCRATIC^ 

We note with alarm and indignation the 
perversion of the powers and purposes of 
our republic from its true end and aim as 
prescribed by the fathers. We mark the 
stealthy approach and insinuation of Eu- 
ropean methods in place of the democratic 
methods which alone distinguish the Amer- 
ican republic from despotism of foreign 
lands. We reaffirm the patriotic policy of 
the "father of his country," as declared In 
his farewell address, that we should ever 
be on our giiard against the insidious ad- 
vances of foreign infiuence, and that our 
country should cultivate friendly relation- 
ships with all nations and entangling alli- 
ances with none. 

Following this policy the democratic party 
of Massachusetts declares its uncompromis- 
ing opp)osition to imperalism, whether with- 
in or out of the dominion of the United 
States. We declare in particular that the 
pledge made by our congress at the out- 
break of the war with Spain, that "the 
people of Cuba are, and of right ought to 
be, free and Independent," should be sacred- 
ly maintained. We believe in the independ- 
ence and freedom of every country and peo- 
ple capable of self-government. We should 
encourage the people of every land through- 
out the world, when unjustly governed and 
oppressed, to gain their freedom; we should 
assist them by pointing out to them the 
beneficent results of our own free institu- 
tions and by maintaining those institutions 
in their pristine purity and democratic 
form. 

PROHIBITION. 

Organized and existing for the economic 
and moral advancement of humanity, it 
sympathizes with all humanitarian projects, 
and tenders its loyal and hearty support to 
the national government in its war meas- 
ures to relieve the sufferings and secure the 
independence of our Cuban neighbors. 

MICHIGAN. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We congratulate the nation upon the vic- 
tories recently won on land and sea and 
offer our tribute of praise to the heroes of 
Manila and Santiago, whose deeds have 
broadened the national horizon and won the 
respect . of the civilized nations of the 
world. 

While believing that Providence has made 



210 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899. 



this nation the instrument for the uplifting 
of an oppressed people, and believing also 
that our flag once raised should never be 
lowered, nevertheless we leave our future 
destiny in this regard in the hands of the 
properly delegated authorities, believing 
that they will act for the glory and honor of 
the nation and the elevation of mankind. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We favor a vigorous prosecution of the 
war with Spain, which was begun and is 
being waged in the interests of humanity 
and for the extension of political freedom. 
We urge the most liberal supply of modern 
arms to our soldiers and the utmost energy 
in their equipment. We declare our con- 
viction that there should be no cessation of 
effort until every righteous purpose shall 
have been achieved. We congratulate the 
nation upon the skill and valor of its de- 
fenders and the prompt and effective re- 
sponse to the call for troops; especially do 
we feel Just pride in the high character and 
earnestness of the brave men of Michigan, 
who, in the volunteer service, have reflected 
such credit upon our commonwealth. 

UNION SILVER. 
We most heartily support the national 
administration in all worthy efforts to 
maintain our national dignity and honor 
and forever to drive Spanish oppression 
from the western hemisphere. We also 
favor a vigorous prosecution of the war t 
a successful termination, as set forth in the 
declaration thereof. 



MINNESOTA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We are in favor of the immediate annexa- 
tion of the Hawaiian islands, not only as an 
absolute milltair necessity, but as the frui- 
tion of one of the noblest aspirations of a 
long line of our great statesmen and be- 
cause such annexation would be of unques- 
tioned advantage to the American people. 

We dosi'.e especially to commend the wis- 
dom and patriotism of the present adminis- 
tration in the management of the existing 
war between this country and Spain, a war 
which appeals to the patriotism of every 
citissen in that it is being prosecuted in the 
interest of humanity and for no selfish ends 
whatever. To the end that Its objects may 
be speedily realized and the war brought to 
an early termination we pledge all moral 
and material support in our power. 

SILVER REPUBLICANS. 

We pledge our united support to the gov- 
ernment in a vigorous prosecution of the 
war against Spain. 

PEOPLE'S (MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD). 

We heartily sympathize with the op- 
pressed people of Cuba in their struggle for 
self-government, and with gratitude and 
pride we commend and rejoice in the pa- 
triotism of our young men who have volun- 
teered in the battle of freedom for Cuba. 



MISSISSIPPI. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We believe that the flag of no despcttic 
nation should ever again be allowed to float 
over soil which has been hallowed by the 
blood of American heroes, shed in the cause 
of humaiUty and freedom and in the de- 
fense of American honor. 

We reassert the Monroe doctrine in Its 
full extent as a principle of our party, and 



we believe that the United States should 
stand aloof from interference with the af- 
fairs and disputes of European powers, 
when American interests, the integrity of 
American territory and freedom of the na- 
tions of the western hemisphere are not in- 
volved, but we assert that the Monroe doc- 
trine does not compel our government to 
abandon or to return to the tyranny of 
Spanish rule any of the helpless peoples 
who have by force of circumstances in the 
conduct of the Spanish-American war been 
placed under our protecting care. And we 
further assert that the Monroe doctrine 
does not forbid the enlargement and exten- 
sion of American territory or the protection 
of American interests in the eastern as 
well as the western hemisphere, and espe- 
cially In the Pacific ocean, where our great 
coast line and the requirements of the com- 
mercial development of our western states 
establish paramount rights and impose on 
our government corresponding duties, and 
we therefore approve of the annexation of 
the Hawaiian islands, and we favor the 
acquisition and ownership of additional na- 
val stations and ports, sufficient to afiFord 
ample protection to our rightful and natu- 
rally growing commerce with Asia and the 
other countries of the far east. We believe 
in the upbuilding of the American mer- 
chant marine, and we favor such legislation 
by congress as will accomplish that end. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We assert that the declaration of war 
against Spain was Justified by the causes 
which called it forth. We direct attention 
to the fact that the national republican ad- 
minl^ration, backed by the republican ma- 
jority in congress, was opposed to war, and 
yielded only after delay to strong public 
sentiment, aroused by the first and per- 
sistent demands of democratic senators and 
representatives, foremost among whom were 
those from Missouri, and for their part in 
forcing the republican president and con- 
gress to defend the rights of our country we 
extend them our hearty congratulation. 

We are opposed to waging a war for con- 
quest, but as this war was forced on us by 
tne intolerant conduct of the Spanish gov- 
ernment and people we declare that it 
should be prosecuted until Spain is driven 
from the western hemisphere. And since 
the prosecution of the war has entailed 
great loss to us of both life and treasure 
we demand that Puerto Rico and all Span- 
ish territory in the West Indies, except 
Cuba, shall be seized by the United States 
or be taken possession of by arms and held 
under the sovereignty of this country. We 
favor carrying out in good faith the resolu- 
tlon of congress under which we intervened 
in Cuba, and aiding the Cubans to establish 
and maintain an independent government of 
their own, if they desire this, and we will 
favor its peaceful annexation whenever it 
^an be done with the consent of the people 
of the Island. 

We insist on the stridt maintenance of 
the Monroe doctrine and hold that any de- 
parture from it would be both unwise and 
lazardons. At the same time we declare 
hat no American people should be held by 
force In unwilling suojection to European 
authority. 

We oppose an alliance of a political 
nature with any European government, be- 
lieving that the maintenance of the Monroe 
doctrine in all Its integrity, both In* letter 
and spirit, is necessary to the exclusion of 
European authority from these continents

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALBIANAC FOR 1899. 



We urge the enactment of soch laws as will 
protect the laboring classes of these islands, 
as well as those of any other territory that 
may be acquired by the United States, from 
the ruinous competition of cheap contract 
labor. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

The Islands which recently belonged to 
Spain, but over which the American flag 
now floats, belong to the United States by 
right of conquest, and we are emphatically 
opposed to any scheme that will saddle any 
IMurt of the ^anlBh or Cuban debt on this 
country. 

The war with Spain has demonstrated the 
great necessity of a ship canal connecting 
the Atlantic and the Pacific, and we favor 
the immediate construction of such canal 
over the most feasible route, to be built, 
owned and controlled by the United States 
government. 

NEW HAMPSHIRE. 

BEPUBLICAN. 

We tinprore the increase of the navy, the 
upbuilding of our merchant marine, the en- 
largement of -the regular army to meet the 
present requirements of the country, the 
construction of a canal connecting the At- 
lantic and Pacific oceans, the annexation of 
Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the provision for a 
free and stable government for Cuba and ltd 
ultimate annexation. While reafiBrming the 
Monroe doctrine, we favor such disposition 
of the Philippines hb will best promote the 
growing commercial and political interests 
of the United States, extinguish the sover- 
eignty of Spain and make good our obliga- 
tions to the peoples of those islands. 



NEW JERSEY. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We approve the annexation of the Ha- 
waiian Islands and view this act as an im- 
portant step in the advance of American 
civilization, and we repose entire confidence 
in the wisdom and patriotism of the presi- 
dent and the commission appointed by him 
to negotiate such a treaty of peace as will 
meet the just expectations of our people by 
insisting on an adjustment in which the 
interests of this republic and of civilization 
and humanity will be secured as far as 
possible as the fruits of the valor of our 
soldiers and sailors In the war with Spain. 



NEW YORK. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We have abiding confidence that the presi- 
dent will conclude this peace upon terms 
that will satisfy the conscience, the judg- 
ment and the high purpose of the American 
people. We realize that when the necessity 
of war compelled our nation to destroy 
Spanish authority in the Antilles and in the 
Fhilippines we assumed solemn duties and 
obligations alike to the people of the islands 
we conquered and to the civilized world. 
We cannot turn these islands back to Spain. 
We cannot leave them, unarmed for defense 
and untried in statecraft, to the horrors of 
domestic strife or to partition among Euro- 
pean powers. We have assumed the respon- 
sibilities of victory, and wherever our flag 
has gone, there the liberty, the humanity 
and the civilization which that flag em- 
bodies and represents must remain and 
abide forever. The republican party has 



been the party of brave conservatism, of 
wise progress and of triumphant faith in 
the nationality of this people, and we know 
that the president and statesmen and voters 
of the republican partv will meet these Is- 
sues of the future as bravely and triumph- 
antly as we have met the Issues of the past. 
We commend the annexation of Hawaii in 
the interest of commerce, of national secu- 
rity and national development. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We congratulate the country npon the 
successful termination of a war undertaken, 
not for conquest or aggrandisement, but In 
the interests of humanity, liberty and civili- 
zation. We glory in the patriotic devotion 
and valor of our brave soldiers and unllors, 
who have honored the American people and 
heightened the luster of our national fame, 
and we favor the adoption of a liberal 
policv toward the sick and wounded and the 
families of those who lost their lives in the 
service of their country. We rejoice that 
the democracy has been connected with 
every honorable and creditable step in the 
war and with nothing that is dishonorable 
or discreditable. 

The scandalous abuse by the president <^ 
his power of appointment In scattering 
army commissions among inexperienced and 
Incompetent civilians as rewards to per- 
sonal lavorites, and almost to the exclusion 
of experienced oflBcers in the service, is 
largely accountable for the fearful sufferinss 
and the appalling loss of life among the gal- 
lant soldiers, that have brought disgrace 
upon the administration and a sense of 
shame to the nation. A democratic con- 
gress will, if chosen bv the people, rlflridly 
investigate the conduct of the war ana ex- 
pose and punish all who may be responsible 
for the unnecessary deaths, privations, suf- 
ferings and neglect of the soldiers, whioh 
have saddened the nation and abated the 
natural rejoicing over the triumphs of our 
army. 

NORTH CAROLINA. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

While we deplore the war with Spain, we 
pledge our earnest support to. the govern- 
ment In all honorable ways to effect a 
speedy and successful conclusion of hos- 
tUities. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

To avenge the Maine, to advance repub- 
lican institutions and in the interests of 
humanity, the brutal and treacherous Span- 
lards should be driven from the western 
hemisphere and a republican form of govern- 
ment established in the islands which she 
has misgoverned, robbed, persecuted and 
pillaged. 

NORTH DAKOTA. 

REPUBLICAN. 

In the interest of humanity and a more 
progressive and enlightened civilization we 
most earnestly advocate closer relations and 
a better understanding between the English- 
speaking peoples of the earth. 

In the future as in the past we welcome 
to our shores and to our hospitality all lib- 
erty-loving Individuals from every clime and 
offer to each of them a full share of the 
great blessings that belong to and are a 
part of the free institutions under our re- 
publican form of government.

is entitled in this conflict to the confidence 
and support of the entire people. 



PENNSYLVANIA. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We' declare our emphatic approral of the 
wise and patriotic course of the president 
and congress in the present war. We ap- 
preciate the high statesmanship which led 
the president to resort to every honorable 
means to avoid the necessity of a war with 
Spain. The conditions prevailing in the is- 
land of Cuba, under Spanish control, had 
become seriously injurious to our important 
commercial interests, and the suffering, 
misery and death occasioned by Spanish 
cruelty and barbarity had Instilled a senti- 
ment of resentment among the American 
people, who cannot help but feel a generous 
sympathy with people so near our own bor- 
der. The destruction of the Maine by Span- 
ish agencies, in the opinion of our people, 
demanded atonement; and our negotiations 
with Spain clearly developed the fact that 
but one alternative was left to the United 
States, that Spain should relinquish her 
sovereigrntv over that island and that the 
freedom of Cuba should be recogrniaed. With 
these purposes In view we demand a vigor- 
ous prosecution of the war to a successful 
conclusion and we pledge our earnest sup- 
port to the president of the United States in 
whatever measures he may deem necessary. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We pledge our hearty support to the gov- 
ernment in an active and aggressive conduct 
of the war with Spain. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We demand fof the people of the United 
States, an American policy thorough and 
strict, and with all possible emphasis we 
reaffirm the principles of the Monroe doc- 
trine as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson— 
**that our first and fundamental maxim 
should be never to entangle ourselves in 
the broils of Europe; our second, never to 
suffer Europe to intermeddle with cis- 
atlantic affairs*' — and we pledge our sup- 
port of the Cuban policy declared in the 
Joint resolution adopted by congress and 
approved by the president April 20, 1898. 



RHODE ISLAND. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We sympathise with the unfortunate and 
distressed people of the island of Cuba in 
their eflForts to obtain a larger measure of 
liberty and security in their government. 
Fervently do we hope that wise counsels 
may prevail and that the privations and 
sufferings of that gallant people may not 
longer be a reproach to our common hu- 
manity. Sincerely do we desire to remain 
at peace with all the nations of the earth, 
but if the vindication of the national honor 
and the firm maintenance of well-considered 
principles of justice shall necessitate a 
resort to the arbitrament of arms, we 
pledge Rhode Island to the national defense 
and the supremacy of our flag. 



SOUTH DAKOTA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We earnestly commend the republican ad- 
ministration and congress for the annexa- 



tion of Hawaii, despite the strenuous oppo- 
sition of the conspiracy created by the sugar 
trust. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

We are in favor of a vigorous prosecution 
and successful termination of tne present 
war with Spain for the independence and 
freedom of Cuba, yet we believe the time 
has come to protest against any effort to 
convert the present war into one of con- 
quest. 

PEOPLE'S PARTY. 

We approve of the war now being waged 
in behalf of the oppressed people of Cuba 
and the Philippines, and demand its ener- 
getic prosecution and that it be terminated 
as quickly as possible after the purpose for 
which it was inaugurated shall have been 
accomplished. 

PROHIBITION. 

We declare ourselves in favor of Cnban 
Independence, and long for the time to come 
when our national government shall take ms 
decided a stand for the oppressed of our 
own nation, caused by the drink curse, as 
it now takes in the interests of oppressed 
Cuba. 

TENNESSEE. 
IfflPUBLICAN. 

We believe in an extension of trade and 
commerce with foreigrn countries. Believ- 
ing that trade follows the flag, we declare 
in favor of the annexation of Puerto Rico 
and all the West India islands; the ultimate 
annexation of Cuba by the free consent of 
the people of the island, and such control of 
the Philippines and other islands as shall 
secure to the United States the trade and 
commerce of those Islands and good govern- 
ment for their people. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The United States is engaged in a foreign 
war with Spain, inaugurated in the name 
of humanitv and for tne freedom of Cuba, 
and we Indorse the action of our senators 
and representatives in congress in voting to 
institute this war for these high purposes. 
We urge its vigorous prosecution, to the end 
that it may be speedily terminated and the 
blessings of peace restored to our country. 
We rect^rnise the Monroe doctrine as a car- 
dinal tenet of the democratic party and a 
part of the public policy of the national gov 
emment, and favor its strict obserrance. 



UTAH. 



REPUBLICAN. 

While we insist on maintaining the Mon- 
roe doctrine in all its integrity, we believe 
it consistent with it and safe for us to hold 
and maintain possession for commercial pur- 
poses of other lands in any part of the 
world, and we believe in protecting our flag 
wherever it has been successfully raised. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The war with Spain was necessary and 
inevitable if the nation was to have any 
regard for the protection of its citizens and 
the redress of wrongs and outrages on the 

Sart of Spain which had become intolerable, 
tvery consideration of justice and humanity 
demanded quick and decisive acti<m. fiuch 
was the demand of the American people. 
Yet, after this condition became known fbr 
months, a republican administration heal*

tated and, In weakness, sought to avoid 
the responsibility erowing out of this most 
important crisis. After resorting to various 
devices and deceptive representations it 
was at length compelled, through the patri- 
otic efforts of democratic members of con- 
gress and an array of public sentiment, to 
favor a declaration of war. Through the 
skill, willingness, sacrifice and heroism of 
the army and navy of the United States the 
war has been waged to a triumphant and 
glorious conclusion. 

TEXAS. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We favof* an increase In our army and 
navy to the extent that circumstances and 
conditions require to establish and carry 
into effect permanently the plans and 
policies of our administration with refer- 
ence to the annexation of Puerto Rico and 
other Spanish possessions and to establish 
and guarantee a stable government in the 
island of Cuba. 

We approve with satisfaction the terms 
npon which peace will be entered into be- 
tween Spain and the United States, as set 
forth in the president's acts and protocol, 
and we congratulate him and the adminis- 
tration upon the!r conduct of and successful 
termination of the war. 

We apprdve the annexation of the Ha- 
waiian islands as being wise and tending to 
increase our commerce and trade^ providing 
a safe, convenient and sufficient naval base 
and coaling station and adding much to the 
wealth and resources of our country. We 
insist that the annexation of the Hawaiian 
islands Is within the spirit and letter of the 
constltatlon and an evidence of a determina- 
tion on the part of our administration to 
carry into effect the Monroe doctrine. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We favor the carrying out to the letter and 
spirit of the resolutions under which we 
intervened in Cuba, and we insist that the 
Cubans shall be permitted to establish an 
independent government of their own, but 
in the event that the people of that island 
shall hereafter desire to be annexed to this 
country and the terms of annexation can be 
satisfactorily arranged between the two 
countries we will welcome Cuba as a part 
of the territory of the United States. 

We favor the acquisition of Puerto Rico 
and all other Spanish possessions in the 
westei^i hemisphere. 

We reaffirm our faith In the Monroe doc- 
trine and oppose the annexation or con- 
tinued retention of the Philippine islands or 
any territoiy upon the eastern hemisphere. 

PEOPLE'S PARTT. 

The war between the United States and 
Spain was at its inception dectared and un- 
derstood to be in the Interest of humanity, 
and not for conquest. We cordially Indorse 
this sentiment and demand that the war 
shall be vigorously prosecuted to a success- 
ful termination on these lines and in this 
spirit, and we now and here pledge to the 
president and his administration our co- 
operation to that end. 

VERMONT. 
REPUBLICAN. 
For the first time In a generation the re- 
publicans of Vermont assemble with the 
nation at war. Many of our citizens have 



become soldiers. They are beyond our 
borders— perhaps on foreign soil. They are 
fighting for the nation's honor as their 
fathers fought for the nation's life. 'It is 
therefore fitting that we should proclaim 
our faith and purpose. We are at war with 
Spain not for revenge, not for conquest, not 
for glory, not for love of war. But we are 
at war with Spain for the love of fellow- 
men, for the sake of humanity — In the holy 
cause of liberty. We are at war with Spain 
because we have heard the poor that cry and 
have remembf red them that are in bonds as 
bound with them. Therefore the war must 
go on until the infamy of mediaeval methods 
of government In the dawn of the twentieth 
century and at the very door of this repub- 
lic shall have forever passed away and until 
a permanent and honorable peac^ Is secured; 
and to that end we pledge our* loyal support 
to the president of the United States. 

We are opposed to the resurrender to 
Spanish misrule of any territory which the 
valor of our army and navy ha« rescued or 
may hereafter rescue from the hands of the 
enemy, and we have an abiding confidence 
that a republican president and congress 
will so shape the future of such territory as 
best to promote the welfare of its Inhab- 
itants and the true glory of our country. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The republican administration In Its dec- 
laration of war solemnly declared to the 
world that the purpose of this country in 
entering upon the war with Spain was solely 
one of numanity, and in Its declaration ex- 
pressly disavowed any intentions of setting 
up or asserting the sovereignty of the United 
States in any conquered territory. We ac- 
cept that declaration as made In good faith 
and binding upon the administration and 
the country, and we believe that the present 
war should be vigorously prosecuted and 
)romptly ended. We oppose the proposed 
mperlallstic policy of the republican party 
n the annexation or colonization of any 
territory won from Spain by our arms. The 
policy of protection of necessity leads the 
republican party to this course, because un- 
less our markets are extended In this man- 
ner their protective principle will be an- 
nihilated. Such policy Involves the abandon- 
ment of the Monroe doctrine, depriving us 
of the advantages we have enjoyed from our 
isolated situation; exposes us to the danger 
of quarrel with the European nations, and 
is liable to force us Into the entangling 
alliances which Washington charged us to 
avoid; and it is a departure from the faith 
of the fathers and from the principles upon 
which the government was founded; It as- 
sumes powers never conferred by the con- 
stitution and imposes responsibilities for 
which our system of government is unfitted 
and Invites the disasters which have over- 
taken all republics heretofore existing. 

We believe that the annexation of Hawaii 
was an unwise departure from our tradi- 
tional policy, and in view of the territory's 
remoteness and the undesirableness of its 
population we oppose the admission of these 
islands to statehood. We cordially extend 
our love and sympathy to the Green moun- 
tain boys who promptly responded to their 
country's call. 

WASHINGTON. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We Indorse the conduct of the admlnlstra-

tion of President McEinley relating to the 
measures and events which led to the war 
with Spain, the conduct of the war through- 
out, and are now in f ayor of the retention of 
all conquered territory. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

While we do not f ayor an aggressire policy 
of general territorial expansion, we are op- 
posed to surrendering to Spain any of the 
territory that has been acquired by American 
Talor and expenditure of blood and treasure 
of our people. We do not favor surrendering 
to Spain the domination of the people of any 
Spanish colonies who co-operated with our 
forces against our enemy in the late war. 

We are opposed to the assumption of any 
portion of the debts of Spain incurred in ob- 
taining her sovereignty in Cuba, and also 
to the Imposition of any portion thereof 
upon the people of that island or to recogni- 
tion thereof. 

We favor the fullest investigation of all 
conditions existing in the Philippine islands 
aflFecting the Interests and obligations of our 
country in the matter of their future treat- 
ment and disposition, to the end that final 
action in relation thereto shall be intelligent 
and based upon full knowledge of all facts 
that can affect the interests of the United 
States. 

WISCONSIN. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We welcome the return of peace and ex- 
press our gratitude and thanks to the brave 
men of the army and navy who have main- 
tained the honor of our flag and again proved 
to the world the qualities of American 
patriotism. We extend Joyous welcome to 
our returning Wisconsin boys, who have de- 
servedly gained the highest honors among 
the volunteer troops. 



We express our perfect confidence in the 
administration wisely and justly to conclude 
terms of peace having regard for the wel- 
fare of the Inhabitants of the conquered 
territory and the best Interests of our own 
people. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We congratulate the citizens of the nation 
on their loyalty and ardent patriotism dis- 
played in the prosecution of the late war, 
and we especially honor the American army 
and navy for their valor and Intrepid brav- 
ery on land and sea; and we condemn in 
unstinted measure the war department for 
the blunders and crimes committed against 
the brave boys in blue in ca.mp and on 
foreign battlefields, by selfish contractors, 
incompetent surgeons and vain, heartless 
army officers appointed for political pur- 
poses, and we hereby pledge to our brave 
soldiers and sailors who survive the war our 
earnest and loyal support to secure the 
punishment of the guilty parties. 

WYOMING. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We believe our country under a republican 
administration is entering upon its greatest 
period of power, happiness and responsibil- 
ity, and we realisse the mighty future of 
successful progress and duty which is even 
now before us, and that the' republican 
party is fully able to pursue a policy upon 
the declaration of peace with Spain which 
will at once maintain the dignity and honor 
of our nation and bring prosperity to the 
islands which will come under our control 
and protection. 

We most heartily approve of the annexa- 
tion of the Hawaiian islands and hail with 
pleasure the American flag which has been 
there planted as an emblem of liberty by 
the republican administration.

ALABAMA. 
REPUBLICAN. 
(See financial plank.) 

ARKANSAS. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We congratulate the country npon the 
adoption of the Dingley act, with its reci- 
procity provision, as a wise measure of pro- 
tection and security to American labor and 
capital, which, while greatly reducing our 
imports by substitution of home for forelgrn 
made fabrics, has opened to us the markets 
of the world to an extent never before 
known, so that the balance of trade in our 
favor for this fiscal year will attain 
the unparalleled and stupendous figures of 
$600,000,000. 

CALIFORNIA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We call attention to the fact that since 
the return of the republican party to 
power the balance of trade has changed 
from more than $400,000,000 against the 
United States to about $880,000,000 in our 
favor, and all of this is due to the wise and 
conservative financial policy adopted and 



no declaration was made.j 

adhered to by the republican congress and 
president. 

PROHIBITION. 

We protest against the frequent tariff 
changes which are suddenly made, to the 
great detriment of the business interests of 
the country, as one or the other of the old 
parties comes into power at Washington, 
and we favor a tariff commission of experts, 
whose duty it shall be to recommend to con- 
gress any needed changes in our tariff. 



- COLORADO. 
. DEMOCRATIC. 

The so-called Dingley act, passed for the 
purpose of supplying revenue to the treas- 
ury, is confessedly a failure. It has neither 
raised wages nor revenue, revived business 
nor promoted prosperity. Under Its opera- 
tion many thousands of employes have suf* 
fered a reduction of wages or lost employ- 
ment, while the national income shows an 
annual deficit of fl0O,0OO,0O0. It Is the cul- 
mination of a system unlawful and inde- 
fensible, and we demand the passage of a 
revenue law which shall furnish an adequate 
supply of money to the government without 
necessarily burdening the people or en*

abling the few to flourish at the expense of 
the many. 

CONNECTICUT. 
REPUBLICAN. 
It [the party] pledges Itself to maintalD 
the principle of protection to American labor 
and American industry, with reciprocity, 
and favors such alterations in the existing 
tariflF and revenue laws as the changed con- 
ditions growing out of the Spanish war may 
require, and those which may be found 
necessary from time to time, and It favors 
the most stringent legislative prohibitions 
against cheap pauper immigration, protect- 
ing to the fullest extent the American wage- 
earner against imported cheap labor. 



DELAWARE. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We demand that the products of foreign 
countries shall be required before being ad- 
mitted into this country to pay such duties 
as will protect the American workmen from 
competition in our home marlcets with the 
underpaid labor of Europe and Asia. 

We also believe that the duties so imposed 
should be so laid as to discriminate in favor 
of products imported into this country in 
American-built vessels. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

The Dingley tariff act increased taxes, 
making the highest tariff schedules known 
to our history, without increasing revenue 
sufficiently to meet the expenditures of gov- 
ernment. It increased the special advan- 
tages and privileges of the sugar trust and 
of every other trust, but it did not increase 
the wages of labor nor revive the depres- 
sion under which agriculture languishes. 
Every indication points to the necessity of 
expansion in our foreign trade and we de- 
mand that the fetters of the Dingley tariff 
act be removed. 

We believe that all taxation, state or na- 
tional, should be so laid as to place the 
feast restraint possible on the labor, indus- 
try and enterprise of the people, and that no 
privileged class or private interest should be 
permitted to use the taxing power for its 
own ends. 

IDAHO. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm our belief in the protective 
tariff policy of the republican party, and we 
believe that only under such policy can the 
people enjoy the fullest measure of pros- 
perity which our splendid natural resources 
and commercial advantages entitle us to 
demand. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

Demand **the reduction of tariff duties 
TO a point which will provide only a suffi- 
cient revenue for the needs of the govern- 
ment, without levying extra tax upon the 
consumer for the purpose of enriching the 
already wealthy." 

ILLINOIS. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

Pledges the party to "the reduction of 
tariff duties to a point which will provide 
omy a sufficient revenue for the needs of the 
gOTemment, without levying extra taxes 



upon the consumer for the purpose of en- 
riching the already wealthy.'^ 

INDIANA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We especially commend th£ president and 
congress for the prompt passage of a wise 
revenue law in accordance with the sound 
republican doctrine of reciprocity and pro- 
tection to American industries and home 
labor, and express our unbounded confidence 
In the beneficial results predicted for this 
measure by our party leaders, evidences of 
which are daily accumulating in the way of 
renewed business prosperity and ample rev- 
enue for ordinary governmental expendi- 
tures. 

We therefore reaffirm our belief In the 
doctrine of. reciprocity and protection to 
American labor and home industries, and 
condemn the democratic doctrine of tariff 
for revenue only as unsound and unsuited to 
the best interests of the country, a doctrine 
whose falsity has been demonstrated by our 
experience under the Wilson revenue law, 
that plunged the nation Into commercial 
and financial distress, from which it is 
fast recovering since the change from that 
democratic poflcy. 

DEMOCRATIC. 
We earnestly reassert the democratic doc- 
trine that all tariff taxes shall be laid for 
revenue as their sole object and purpose, 
and we do at this time especially denounce 
and condemn the high prohibitory rates of 
the present republican tariff, commonly 
called the Dingley law, under the operation 
of which trusts and combinations have 
multiplied, the cost of the necessaries o* 
life has been increased and the wages of 
labor have not been advanced, and which 
has entailed upon the country a deficit of 
many millions to be made up only by addi- 
tional taxation in time of war, thus im- 
posing, instead of a benefit, an onerous 
burden upon the people of the United States. 

IOWA. 

REPUBLICAN. 
We reaffirm our belief in the republican 
doctrines of reciprocity and protection. We 
congratulate the people on the fact that a 
republican congress has enacted a protect- 
ive tariff which has brought prosperity to 
our country, and pledge ourselves to favor 
such changes in the present republican reve- 
nue law as experience may from time to 
time dictate or change if conditions de- 
mand. 

KANSAS. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

We are against the McKioley and Dingley 
system of taxation for the expenses of gov- 
ernment. It is wrong in principle, being a 
tax on consumption instead of property, and 
a breeder of trusts and monopolies. It is 
disastrous in practice, as the present $60,- 
000,000 deficit illustrates, and we renew our 
protest against it and insist upon federal 
taxation being levied in such manner as will 
reach the Incomes and property of rich men 
and corporations and thus to some degree ex- 
empt the necessities of the common people. 
We wage no war upon the rich, but Insist 
the rich and poor alike must stand in equal- 
ity before the law, and that nniust privi- 
leges and the aggressions of wealth upon the 
rights of man must cease. We therefore 



218

favor an ameodmeot to the constitution of 
the United States, if the same be necessary, 
saeh as will authorize congress to levy 
direct taxes upon incomes, corporations, es- 
tates and all forms of aggregated wealth. 

MASSACHUSETTS. 
REPUBLICAN. 
The demand for a tariff really protectire, 
and that should provide ample revenue for 
the needs of the government, has likewise 
been fully met in the Dingier act. Under 
its operation exports of manufactured goods 
have increased and Imports diminished, the 
number of pei*8on8 empioyed and the amount 
of wages paid have been greater, and the 
rate of wages, looking at our industries as 
a whole, has been higher. As a producer of 
revenue it has demonstrated its abilitv to 
furnish more than can be required in times 
of peace. Under it the credit of the govern- 
ment has been restored. We no longer issue 
bonds for ordinary expenditures; we sell our 
war bonds to the people, not to syndicates 
or by contract at exorbitant rates of interest 
and enormous profits to the purchaser at tho 
expense of the people. The gold reserve be- 
hind our demand currency is more than suffi- 
cient. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We denounce the general character and 

E articular acts of legislation which have 
een enacted under the influence of the 
present administration. Every such act 
has been calculated not to alleviate but to 
add to the disasters of the people. Of this 
kind of discriminating legislation is the 
Dingley tariff law, the provisions of which 
were dictated by the beneficiaries. Of this 
kind is the more recent internal-revenue tax 
law, which was notoriously constructed so 
that the corporations might evade their 
share in the burdens of the nation, thereby 
devolving the entire sacrifice upon an al- 
ready distressed people. 

MICHIGAN. 

REPUBLICAN. 
We congratulate the country upon the 
gradual return of business prosperity since 
the return of the republican party to power, 
and point with satisfaction to the successfu, 
operation of the Dingley law that is now 
producing ample revenue for all the ordi- 
nary expenditures of the government. We 
congratulate the country upon the restora- 
tion of protection and the return of pros- 
perity as evidenced by the reopening of 
mills, factories and shops and tne re-em- 
ployment of idle men and women. 

MINNESOTA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

The Dingley law has been a new stimulus 
to American industry, created new enter- 

ftrises, increased the demand for labor, and 
n a multitude of ways vindicated the wis- 
dom of the republican policy under all con- 
ditions of our national life. We affirm our 
adhesion to the principles set forth in the 

Slatform of our last national convention at 
t. Louis and exemplified in the administra- 
tion of William McKlnley. The work of un- 
doing the mischief wrought upon American 
industry by the last democratic adnrinistra- 
tion is being prosecuted with a vigor that 
commands our admiration. The wisdom of 
our republican congress cannot be too highly 
commended for its efforts In providing such 
remedial leglslatiOD as Is necessary to re- 



form abuses growing out of democratic mis- 
rule, to supply the wants of an exhausted 
treasury and repair the damages produced 
by the gross mismanagement of our national 
finances, by enacting a tariff which afforded 
neither protection nor revenue and was de- 
structive of the interests of the wage- 
earner. 

MISSOURI. 

REPUBLICAN. 

We believe in the protection and expansion 
of American industry and commerce and in 
the protection of American citisens and in- 
terests whenever and wherever they may 
need protection. 

MONTANA. 
REPUBLICAN. 
We express our abiding approval of the 
principle of protection to American industry 
and cherish with undiminished anxiety our 
purpose to see the rewards of labor main- 
tained and increased. 

SILVER REPUBLICAN. 

We renew our professions In favor of pro- 
tection to American labor and American In- 
dustry. 

NEBRASKA. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We denounce as unjust and unequitable 
the protective-tariff system, which, through 
the instrumentality of class legislation, robs 
the many for the benefit of the few, and 
that a tariff should be for a revenue only, 
and therefore denounce the Dingley act and 
arraign the republican party for its enact- 
ment. 

NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

We denounce the republican party for the 
passage of the Dingley tariff law, a measure 
calculated only to protect monopolies. In- 
sufficient to raise a revenue sufficient to 
meet the ordinary expenditures of the gov- 
ernment and based upon no principle of 
equity or Justice. 

NEW JERSEY. 
REPUBLICAN. ^ ' 

We hereby resolve and declare that we 
affirm our adhesion and devotion to the 
fundamental principles of the national re- 
publican party as set forth in the platform 
adopted at the St. Louis convention In 1896. 

NEW YORK. 

REPUBLICAN. 

The republican party is fulfilling its 
pledges made at St. Louis. We have en- 
acted a conservative, protective tariff, so 
wisely devised that the revenue is amply 
sufficient to pay the ordinary expenses of 
government in times of peace, wliile capital 
is encouraged to seek employment and the 
wages of labor are maintained at that high 
standard which experience has proved to be 
necessary to the welfare of our people. Our 
exports largely exceed our Imports. The 
gold of the world comes steadily to our 
shores, and with a continuance of republican 
policy and republican national administra- 
tion the prosperous future of the nation Is 
assured. 

In the interests of American labor and 
commerce we believe that American prod- 
ucts should be carried in American snips, 
and we favor the upbuilding of an American 
merchant marine, which wUl give us onr

share In the carrying trade of the world in 
time of peace and constitute an effective 
nayal militia in time of war. 



^ NORTH CAROLINA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We Indorse the Dingley tariff law and also 
the republican tariff measures made neces- 
sary by the enormous expenditures incident 
to the war. While the democratic adminis- 
tration sold bonds in secret in time of 
peace to foreign syndicates, the present re- 
publican administration has required the 
banks and syndicates to stand back until 
the common people could have all the bonds 
which they were able and willing to pay 
for; and we point with pride to the fact 
that our bonds are worth 20 per cent more 
in time of war than they were worth in 
time of democracy, and that the common 
people of the country have displayed their 
confidence in the government by subscribing 
three times over the amount called for by 
the administration. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We denounce the republican party for the 

f massage of the IHngley tariff law, which has 
ncreased the burdens of taxation upon our 
consumers and given the trusts and monop- 
olists greater power to rob the people. 

Believing that un6er our present methods 
of federal taxation more than three- 
quarters of our national revenues are paid 
by people owning less than one-quarter ot 
the property of the country, we protest 
against such inequality and injustice, and In 
oraer to remedy, to some extent, this great 
wrong, we favor an income tax and favor 
all constitutional methods to sustain it. 



NORTH DAKOTA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We reaffirm oar belief in the policy of pro- 
tection to American Industry and American 
labor. 

OHIO. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We congratulate the country upon the fact 
that, in response to the demand of the St. 
Lonis platform and the will of the people 
expressed at the polls in November, 1896, 
protection and reciprocity, twin measures 
of republican policy, have been re-estab- 
lished and have been embodied into public 
law by the enactment of the Dlngley meas- 
ure. 

We favor all measures which will pro- 
mote the restoration and growth of our 
merchant marine. 

PENNSYLVANIA. 
REPUBLICAN. 

The republicans of Pennsylvania reaffirm 
their adherence to the doctrine of protection 
to American Industries. Two years ago our 
mills' were closed and our manufacturing, 
commercial, agricultural and business inter- 
ests were prostrated. To-day our mills ^re 
opened, labor is given full employment and 
a general revival of Industrial activity 
promises renewed prosperity to our state. 

TENNESSEE. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We congratulate the country on the pros- 



perity which has now come, due largely tc 
the return of the republican party to power 
the enactment of the Dingley law and th( 
maintenance of the gold standard. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We demand that all federal taxation shai: 
be strictly and only for revenue for th< 
support of an economically admlnisterec 
government, and we condemn the policy ol 
the republican party in prostituting the tax 
ing power to enrich the few at the expense 
of the many. 

UTAH. 

REPUBLICAN. 

The republican party of Utah demandf 
as It has always demanded, protection, 
bimetallism and reciprocity. We congratu 
late the country, and especially Utah, upoi 
the great financial success of the republlcai 
doctrine of protection, as expressed and ful 
filled in the Dingley act, and remind votert 
of this state of the many millions of dollan 
by which the wealth of Utah has been en 
hanced by reason of it; that lead mlnlni 
has been sustained and could exist only witl 
such protection; that agricultural productloi 
has been made profitable through Itf 
agency; that the exports of the whole na 
tion have been vastly increased since the 
Uingley law was passed; that reviving pros 
perlty follows this republican policy, as 11 
always has, and we pledge the party t( 
support for office, and particularly for th< 
office of senator and representative in con 
gress, only those who do and will suppon 
the principles of the Dingley act. Protec 
tion nas been and shall be the corner ston< 
of republicanism. 

TEXAS. 
DEMOCRATIC. 

We denounce the republican party for th< 
passage of the Dingley tariff law, whici 
places the burden of tariff taxation upoi 
those least able to bear it, and which ha 
resulted in a great deficit in the revenue. 



VERMONT. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We emphatlcallv reassert the democratl 
faith that all tariff taxes shall be laid fo 
revenue as their sole object, and not for tb 
upbuilding of the Hannas, Carnegies an 
their school of grasping multlmUlioDalres.

WASHINGTON. 
REPUBLICAN. 

We indorse the action of the present r 

rmbllcan congress which has re-enacted inl 
aw a protective tariff through the Dingl< 
bill and restored prosperity to the country. 

DEMOCRATIC. 

We condemn the Dingley tariff as the mo 
oppressive and inlquitious law that has ev* 
disgraced our statute books. It was e 
acted on the imperious demand of corpor 
tions and trusts which contributed to tl 
scandalous republican campaign fund to tl 
alarming amount of $16,000,000. It tax

HEH OF THE YEAB 1896. 



WILLIAM R. DAY. 

William R. Day was born at Rayenna, O., 
on April 17, 1849, and came of a race of 
lawyers, his father, the late Chief Justice 
Lather Day, haying been a prominent law- 
yer of Ohio for many years. His paternal 
and maternal grandfathers were Supreme 
court Justices. He was graduated from the 
Unlyerslty of Michigan In the class of '70 
and studied law in the law department of 
the same unlyerslty and was admitted to 
the bar in 1872. In October of that year he 
settled iu Canton and formed a law partner- 
ship with William A. Lynch. In 1886 he 
was elected to the bench of the Common 
Pleas court by both political parties, and In 
1889 he was appointed Judge of the United 
States District court for the northern dis- 
trict of Ohio by President Harrison, but 
failing health compelled him to resign be- 
fore taking the omce. With these two ex- 
ceptions Judge Day has continuously prac- 
ticed his profession In Canton, being en- 
gaged in both the criminal and corporation 
branches. 

Early In his administration President Mc- 
Einley appointed Judge Day assistant sec- 
retary of^ state. Owing to the ill health of 
Secretary Sherman the duties of the sec- 
retaryship largely deyolyed upon him 
throughout the administration. On April 
26, 1898, he became secretary, and his con- 
duct of the important and delicate negotia- 
tions preceding the declaration of war, as 
well as those during its progress, has 
elicited the approyal and support of the 
country. In September he resided to take 
the position of head of the Paris peace 
commission. 

JOHN W. GRIGGS. 

John William Griggs, attorney-general, 
was bom in Newton, w. J., July 10, 1849. 
He was graduated from Lafayette college in 
1868 and Decame a law student in the oflSoe 
of Robert Hamilton at Newton. In 1871 he 
remoyed to Paterson. where he entered the 
office of Socrates Tuttle. He was admitted 
to the bar that year, and together with Mi*. 
Tuttle formed the firm of Tuttle & Griggs. 
A few years later he opened an oflSce on his 
own account. He was elected to the assem- 
bly in 1875 and was re-elected two years 
later. In the latter year the house was 
equally diylded and he became leader on 
the republican side. He was renominated 
for another term, but was defeated. He 
was elected counsel for the board of free- 
holders of Passaic county and city council 
of Paterson, which oflSces he held until 1882, 
when he was elected to the state senate. 
He was re-elected state senator and became 

8 resident of the senate In 1886. He was a 
elegate-at-large to the republican national 
cpnyention In 1888. In 1895 Goy. Werts of 
New Jersey oflfered Mr. Griggs a place on 
toe Supreme court bench of that state, 
which he declined to accent. In 1895 he was 
elected governor of New Jersey, which posi- 
tion he resigned to succeed Mr. McKenna as 
attorney-general in Mr. McKinley's cabinet. 

CHARLES EMORY SMITH. 

0. E. Smith, postmaster-general, was bom 
at Mansfield, Conn.. Feb. 18, 1842. He was 
7 years old when his parents remoyed to 
Albany, N. Y.. and he began to lay the 
iToundation of his education in the public 



schools of that city. He was graduated from 
Union college at Schenectady in 1861, Just 
as the ciyil war opened, and was appointed 
to the staff of Gen. Ratnbone. After deyot- 
ing two years to the work of recruiting and 
organizing yolunteers for the union army he 
returned to the Albany academy as one of 
its instructors. He became editor of the 
Albany Express in 1865 and of the Albany 
fc:yening Journal in 1870, retaining the latter 
position for ten years. During this period 
he was the most deyoted follower of Koacoe 
Conkling and by consequence an earnest op- 
ponent of the Blaine element in the repub- 
lican party. But in 1880 he left Albany to 
become editor of the Philadelphia Press, 
which was owned by an admirer of Mr. 
Blaine, and he immediately became the 
most ardent supporter of the moyement to 
make him president. Mr. Smith was ap- 
pointed minister to Russia by President 
Harrison. Like Mr. Gary, whom he suc- 
ceeded, and almost all other postmaster- 
generals, Mr. Smith lacks experience ' in 
postal affairs beyond that necessarily gained 
by anybody who is at the head of a leading 
newspaper, but he has good executlTe ca- 
pacity, which is the main essential for the 
S roper conduct of the business of the postal 
epartment. 

DAVID J. HILL. 

David Jayne filll, first assistant secretary 
of state, was born June 10, 1850, at Plain-* 
field. N. J. He Is the son of the Rev. 
Daniel T. Hill, a baptist minister. In 1874 
he was graduated from Bucknell university.

oric." This was soon afterward followed 
by "The Elements of Rhetoric.'* In 1879 he 
began a series of brief biographies of Amer- 
ican authors, similar to Morley's "English 
Men of Letters.' He completed in this 
series two volumes on Irving and Bryant 
respectively, which were wloeW read and 
highly praised. In March, 1879, he was 
elected to the presidency of the university 
at Lewisburg, to succeed the Rev. Justin 
Loomis, LL. D. In 1886 he again took np 
authorship by publishing a treatise on "The 
Principles and Fallacies of Socialism." 
From 1888 to 1896 he was president of the 
University of Rochester, N. Y. 

About this time also appeared an analytic 
recasting for use in schools and colleges of 
"Jevons^ Elements of Logic." Three years 
later he published a series of lectures which 
he had aellvered before the Theological In- 
stitution, Newton. Mass., on "The Social 
Influences of Christianity," having especial 
reference to contemporary problems. In 
this same year also appeared "The Ele- 
ments of Psychology." 



L. E. M'COMAS. 

Louis Emory McComas was bom In Wash- 
ington county, Maryland, Oct. 28, 1846. He 
was graduated from Dickinson college and 
was admitted to the bar soon after reaching 
his majority. He began his political career 
in 1876, when, at the age of 30, he was the 
republican candidate for congress in the 6th 
district and was defeated by William Wal^h 
by fourteen votes. As a candidate for the 
XLVIIIth congress McComas was success- 
ful, and he was re-elected for three suc- 
cessive terms thereafter. During that time

be was the only republican coDgressman 
from Maryland. In the elgbt years be 
senred In congress Mr. McOomas made a 
good record as an Industrious and efficient 
member. His support of tbe force bill was 
largely responsible for his second defeat. In 
tbe presidential campaign of 1892 be was 
secretary of the national republican com- 
mittee. Shortly after the election of that 
year President Harrison, who, like Presi 
dent McKinley, is a warm personal friend 
appointed him to the bench of the Supreme 
court of the District of Columbia. He has 
been elected by the legislature of Mainland 
to succeed Mr. Gorman as United States 
senator and will take his seat March 3, 1899. 



JOSEPH SIMON. 

Joseph Simon, United States senator from 
Oregon, was born in Germany of a Jewish 
family in 1851 and went to Oregon with bis 
parents in 1857.' He was educated in the 

{»ublic schools of Portland, studied law, and 
n 1872 was admitted to the bar, since which 
time he has practiced his profession in that 
city. He became a member of the city

REAR ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY. 

Rear- Admiral Dewey, "the hero of Manila 
bay," was born in Montpelier, Vt., Dec. 26, 
1837, and entered tbe naval academy in 
September, 1854. Being graduated In 1868, 
he was assigned to the frigate Wabash of 
tbe European squadron, and remained in 
Mediterranean waters until the outbreak of 
the civil war. Returning to this country in 
1861, he was detailed to the Mississippi, one 
of the vessels in the West Gulf squadron, 
serving in her until she was destroyed in 
1863. It was during this time that the 
squadron was engaged In the capture of 
New Orleans. Commodore Dewey was then 
a lieutenant. The Mississippi was under 
command of Capt. Melancthon Smith, and 
Just as the end of the battle of New 
Orleans appeared to be in sight the confed- 
erate ram Manassas came down the river at 
full speed to attack tbe union fleet. Ad- 
miral Farragut directed the Mississippi to 
turn and run her down. She obeyed, but 
when within a few yards of the enemy the 
Manassas turned and ran ashore. The Mis- 
sissippi poured two broadsides into her and 
sent her to the bottom of the river a total 
wreck. The MIssissk>pl, while trying to 
run tbe batteries of Port Hudson on Blarch 
21, 1863, grounded and heeled to port. In 
spite of the desperate efforts of the crew 
she could not be saved. The enemy, get- 
ting tbe range, poured shell after shell Into 
her hull, and C^apt. Smith ordered her fired, 
and the crew escaped in their boats. After 
the destnictlon of tbe Mississippi Lieut. 
Dewey was assigned to the steamboat Aga- 
wam of the North Atlantic blockading fleet, 
and assisted in two attacks on Fort Fisher 
—one in December, 1864, and the other Jan- 
uary, 1865. On March 3, 1866, he was com- 
missioned lieutenant-commander and served

civil war he went aboard the (Colorado, the 
flagship of the European jK]uadron, and re- 
mained on her until 1867. For two years 
thereafter he did shore duty, being ajssigned 
to the naval academy. He was next placed 
in command of the Narragansett, in special 
service, in 1870 and 1871, and was again as- 
signed to shore duty a year later at the 
torpedo station. He was made a command- 
er on April 13, 1873, and was in charge of

was sent November, 1897, to command the 
Asiatic station. His victory in Manila bay 
OD the 1st of May, 1898, in which he sunk 
the entire Spanish fleet without the loss of 
a ship or a man, wad one of the most thrill- 
ing and dramatic events In the history of

REAR-ADMIRAL W. T. SAMPSON. 

Rear- Admiral William T. Sampson was 
bom at Palmyra, N. Y., in 1840. Uis father 
was a day laborer, and young Sampson used 
to accompany him from farm to farm in 
search of work. At the age of 17 he was 
appointed a midshipman in the United 
States naval academy at Annapolis. Ue 
was graduated, flrst in his class, in 1861, 
and was immediately sent aboard of the 
frigate Potomac. Here he soon won his 
1 lieutenancy. Sampson was executive oflicer 



and stood on the bridge of the Patapeco 
when she was blown up by a torpedo in 
Charleston harbor, Jan. 16, 1865. Seventy 
of the crew were drowned. In 1866 he was 
promoted to a lieutenant-commander while 
on the Colorado. From 1868 to 1871 he was 
at the naval academy. The following two 
years he was on the Congress, and in 1874, 
having been made a commander, he was 
assigned to the Alert. He returned to the 
naval academy in 1876 and remained there 
nearly three years. In 1879 he was in 
China, commanding the Swatara. He was 
chief of the bureau of ordnance from 1893 to 
1897, and previous to that he was inspector 
of ordnance at the Washington navy yard. 
Since the formation of the new navy he has 
commanded the Iowa and the San Francisco. 
On account of his wide knowledge of tor- 
pedoes, mines, etc., he was appointed presi- 
dent of the Maine court of inquiry by Presi- 
dent McKlnley. In April, 1898, he was pro- 
moted to acting rear-admiral by the presi- 
dent, succeeding Admiral Sicard, and was 
appointed in command of the fleet operating 
on the southeastern coast of Cuba and pro- 
moted to the rank of rear-admlraL He was

REAR-ADMIRAL WINFIELD S. SCHLEY. 
Rear- Admiral Sr>hley was bom at Freder- 
ick, Md., Oct. 9, 1839. He entered the naval 
academy In 1856, and was graduated in 1860. 
He distinguished himself by coming out of 
the academy as near the bottom of his 
class as it was possible for him deliberately 
to get. In 1860 he served on the Niagara, 
which was sent to convoy the Japanese em- 
bassy to their country. When the Niagara 
returned and anchored off Boston, Capt. 
McKean, the commander, drew his men up 
on the deck and asked them to take the 
oath of allegiance. Three of the middies 
flatly refused. They were E. G. Read of 
Virginia, who meant what he did, and 
Thomas L. Swann and Wlnfield Scott 
Schley, both of Maryland, who refused Just 
because the others did. It is related that 
McKean gave the bovs a lecture, which 
brought tnem to their senses. Whatever 
truth there niay be in the tale, there is 
no doubt that young Schley made a gallant 
officer and fought for the flag as valiantly 
as any of the men who were with him in 
the academy. That he did not win as high 
return as others In the civil war was per- 
haps due to the short participation he had 
in the fighting. He was not out of the 
naval academy two years when he was com- 
missioned a lieutenant. Schley's most sig- 
nal performance was his search for and 
discovery of Greely In the frozen fast- 
nesses of the north. Lieutenant, now Gen- 
eral, Adolphus W. Greely went north with 
his expedition in 1881. Nothing had been 
heard from him In two years, and late in 
1883 talk was made of sending an expedi- 
tion to relieve him. The then Commander 
Schley volunteered his services as head of 
the relieving expedition. The expedition 
consisted of the Thetis and the Bear, the 
Alert, kindly lent by the government of 
Great Britain, and the Loch Larry, a sup- 

?ly ship. This fieet set sail April 23, 1884. 
'he ships plowed north and found the great 
explorer and the remnant of his expedition. 
The name of Schley must ever be associated 
with that of Greely in the history of arctlO 
exploration. His career as it may be ob>

he was transferred to Annapolis to be 
head of the academic department of modern 
languages. He was commander of the Es- 
sex, lighthouse inspector, recruiting officer 
and then commander of the Greely relief 
expedition. His work has won him two 
gold medals, . and Maryland presented him 
with a gold chronometer for his rescue of 
Greely. In the war with Spain he was at- 
tached to Sampson's command off Santiago, 
and was In charge of the fleet of observa- 
tion on the 3d of July when Cervera's fleet

CAPT. ROBLEY D. EVANS. 

Capt. Evans was born In Virginia and ap- 
pointed to the naval academy from Utah 
Sept. 20, 1860, graduating in 1863. When 
the south seceded he was a cadet at An- 
napolis and his mother promptly sent in 
his resignation without consulting her son. 
Young Evans at once repudiated the resig- 
nation (which meanwhile had been accepted 
at Washington), and was restored to the 
service. He was made ensign In 1863, and 
went to the war. In an attack on Fort 
Fisher he landed a force of seamen and 
marines and was shot twice in the leg for 
his pains. In another engagement, from 
the water, with Fort Sumter, he was punc- 
tured by a piece of shell which broke his 
kneecap, but, refusing to go below, he took 
part in the engagement until It was over. 
In 1891 Capt. Evans was assigned to the 
Yorktown. His shin entered the harbor of 
Valparaiso when Chile and this country 
were biting thumbs at each other. The 
Yorktown anchored directly before the bat- 
teries. She was a pooriy armored ship and 
lightly armed. The bay was occupied by a 
number of torpedo boats in practice, and as 
the Yorktown was the only ship in the port 
they used her for a point of attack. Capt. 
Evans objected to being made a target of 
and ordered his ship cleared for action. 
The guns were loadea, the men ordered to 
their posts and the captain's gig lowered. 
He sought out the general of the city and 
demanded that the bay be cleared of the tor- 

Eedo boats. It was done. Capt. Evans won 
is name of "Fighting Bob" at Valparaiso. 
Once the Spanish minister came aboard his 
ship with two refugees. Evans fired a 
salute in honor of the country he was late- 
ly fighting. The Chileans severely criticised 
this action, but so fierce was the Yankee 
captain's denunciation of the business that 
a stop was promptly put to further gossip 
about the propriety of the salute. He has 
held his present rank since 1889, and his 
first command in large ships was the mon- 
ster Indiana in 1895. In the Spanish war 
he was placed in command of the Iowa and 
assigned to Sampson's fleet off Santiago. 
He distinguished himself In the battle of

COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. 
Theodore Roosevelt was born In New York 
Oct 29, 1858, and was the son of Cornelius 
Van Schaick Roosevelt, whose line goes 
back to mediaeval times in Dutch history. 
Young Roosevelt was graduated from Har- 
vard in 1880, when 21 years old, and in the 
following year was elected to the assembly 
from New York city. During his second 
term he became the leader of the party in 
the assembly. He served three terms in 
the assembly, and since then has never held 
an elective office. He was chairman of the 
New York delegation to the national con- 
vention which nominated Blaine for presi- 
dent in 1884. He was opposed to Mr. 
Blaine's nomination, but after he had failed 
to prevent it he was hearty in support of 
the candidate. In 1886 he was a candidate 
for mayor of New York, but ran behind 
both Hewitt (dem.) and Henry George 
(single tax). He was appointed a member 
of the civll-servlce commission by Presi- 
dent Harrison and was retained by Presi- 
dent Cleveland. He served until his ap- 
pointment to the police commission of New 
York city In 1895. His nomination as as- 
sistant secretary of the navy was -made by 
McKinley on April 6, 1896. To 




the vigor of his administration of this 
office many naval officers ascribe no small 
part of the nation's readiness for the war 
with Spain. His insistence on target prac- 
tice has been praised throughout the serv- 
ice. On April 25, 1898, he accepted the offer 
of a lieutenant-colonelcy in the 1st volun- 
teer cavalry regiment, known as Roose- 
velt's "rough riders," and served with great 
distinction in the operations against San- 
tiago. On the 27th of September, 1898, he 
was nominated by the republicans of New 
York as their candidate for governor. 
Theodore Roosevelt is a writer and lecturer 
of considerable renown. His "History of 
the Naval War in 1812," lives of "Gouver- 
neur Morris" and "Thomas H. Benton," 
"TheHuntlngTrlpsof a Ranchman," "Ranch 
Life and the Hunting Trail," "The Wilder- 
ness Hunter" and other works bear a high 
reputation. His ability as a sportsman and 
rancher are also well known and admired 
by many who care but little for polities. In 
November, 1898, he was elected by the re- 
publicans governor of New York.

In these schools there are 1,439 pupils. 



Besides these there are trovemment reser- 
vation boarding schools with a capacity of 
8il2& pupils, government day schools with a 
capacity of 6,l64 pupils, and 340 Indian pupils 
in the various publio schools in California, 
Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Utah. 
Washington and Wisconsin. Upon the sub- 
ject of oo-education the commissioner of In- 
dian affairs says: "The plan of placing Indian 
children in the publio schools of the country 
for the purpose of oo-eduoation of the races, 
conceived in 1890, does not appear to meet 



with much success. Last year (1897) there wa« 
a decrease of 100 pupils from , the previous 
year, and this year's (1896) report also shows a 
small decrease. Although the contract rate 
of $10 per capita a quarter on the average 
attendance was thought. suflBciently stimula- 
ting to induce the public-school authorities to 
Increase the number of these Indian scholars, 
the experiment has not been the success an- 
ticipated. More decided efforts will be ex- 
erted during the fiscal year 1899 ^nd the value 
and practicability of the system fully tested."

THE TSEATT WITE SPAQT. 



[Continued from page 120.] 



The terms of the treaty of peace between 
the United States and Spain as it has been 
formulated by the joint commission of the 
two countries at the Paris conference will 
not be known in all its details until after 
this volume has been issued. Enough is 
known, however, to indicate with reason- 
able certainty what Spain will yield and 
what obligations the United States will as- 
sume. It was semi-offlclally reported from 
Paris on the 13th of December that the 
treaty had been drawn and that all its es- 
sential features had been accepted by the 
commissioners of both countries. The vari- 
ous sections of the treaty provide as follews: 

Article 1 provides for the relinquishment 
of Cuba. 

Article 2 provides for the cession of 
Puerto Rico. 

Article 3 provides for the cession of the 
Philippines for $20,000,000 as compensation. 

Article 4 embraces the plans for the ces- 
sion of the Philippines, including the return 
of Spanish prisoners in the hands of the 
Tagalos. 

Article 6 deals with the cession of bar- 
racks, war materials, arms, stores, bulltl- 
Ings and all property appertaining to the 
Spanish administration in the Philippines. 

Article 6 is a renunciation by both nations 
of their respective claims against each other 
and the citizens of each other. 

Article 7 grants to Spanish trade and ship* 
ping in the Philippines the same treatment 
as American trade and shipping for a period 
of ten years. 

Article 8 provides for the release of all 
prisoners of war held by Spain, and of ail 
prisoners held by her for political offenses 
committed in the colonies acquired by the 
United States. 



Article 9 guarantees the legal rights of 
Spaniards remaining in Cuba. 

Article 10 establishes religrious freedom 
in the Philippines and guarantees to aU 
churches equal rights. 

Article 11 provides for the composition of 
courts and other tribunals in Puerto Ulco 
and Cuba. 

Article 12 provides for the administration 
of Justice in Puerto Rico and Cuba. 

Article 13 provides for the continuance for 
five years ef Spanish copyrights in the 
ceded territories, giving Spanish books ad- 
mittance free of duty. 

Article 14 provides for the establishment 
of consulates by Spain in the ceded terri- 
tories. 

Article 15 grants to Spanish commerce in 
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines the 
same treatment as to Americans for ten 
years, Spanish shipping to be treated as 
coasting vessels. 

Article 16 stipulates that the obligations 
of the United States to Spanish citizens and 
property in Cuba shall terminate with the 
withdrawal of the United States authpritles 
from the island. 

Article 17 provides that the treaty most 
be ratified within six months from the date 
of signing by the respective governments In 
order to be binding. 

The signing of this treaty on the 10th of 
December, 1898, took place 233 days after 
the ultimatum given Spain was adopted by 
congress, on the 19th of April, 1898. The 
last act of the war was the surrender of 
Manila on the 15th of August. The peace 
commission met Oct. 1, 1898, and in forty- 
one days the treaty of peace was completed 
for presentation to the senate of the United 
States and the cortes of Spain for ratillca- 
tion.

ZIONISM. 



THE JEWISH MOVBMBNT TOWABD PALESTINE. 
(67 Leon Zolotkoff.) 



"ZioHlsm*' is a word of rery recent coin- 
a^, bvt the Idea it conveys is as old as tbe 
Jewish people. Etymologically "ZIon" 
means in Hebrew an object of prominence, 
of distinction, also a monument. Topo- 

f graphically it was formerly used to des- 
gnate an elevation centrally located in the 
old city of Jerusalem and known as the 
"City of David," the place being dis- 
tinguished by the most important national 
structures— the citadel of David and royal 
residences having been erected there. As Je. 
rusalem was the heart of the Jewish state, 
so Zion was the heart of Jerusalem. "Zion'* 
and "Jerusalem" gradually became synony- 
mous and interchangeable nouns. "For out 
of Zion shall go forth the law and the word 
of the Lord from Jerusalem" is one of the 
many parallelisms, so characteristic of the 
scriptures, in which these two nouns are 
symmetrically placed as synonyms. In the 
time of the prophets the conception of Zion 
broadened considerably and became sym- 
bolic of nation, country, state and religion 
all combined. In this sense the word "Zion" 
has been applied bv the Psalmists, by the 
bards of the second Jewish empire, by the 
originatora of the vast post-biblical litera- 
ture, by the men of the great synagogue, by 
the authors and compilers of the rich Jew- 
ish liturgT and by the neo-Hebralc authom, 
poets and "elegists" of the mi^le ages. 
Modem Hebrew authors of our days employ 
the noun "Zion" in the same sense. Thus 
"Zionism" represents the national idea in 
Judaism, or, in other words, it is Judaism 
in the consciousness of its racial traditions 
and national importance. It has always 
represented and it still represents the mani- 
festations, all the aspirations of the Jew- 
ish people, and all that which characterizes 
a nation in its entirety. 

When Israel was in its infancy the na- 
tional idea manifested itself in the narrow 
form of clannishness and tribal seclusive- 
ness, but with the material and spiritual 
growth of the people during the centuries 
of their national existence the national 
idea broadened and deepened until it 
assumed the shape of a message to the 
world. The recognition of the unity of God 
by all nations and the ultimate establish- 
ment of the reign of Justice and righteous- 
ness on earth were the principal features of 
that message. But while the great seers 
in Israel were dreaming of the trlumpbs 
of the human race, of universal peace, of 
achievement sublime and noble, zion— not 
the spiritual Zion. which is a latter-aay in- 
vention, but the real Zion— was to them the 
source whence all those glorious develop- 
ments were to emanate. Under the most 
trying and despairing conditions of the peo- 
ple they were proclaiming their hope of 
seeing the nation free and independent. 
They never admitted the possibility of 
Israel's disappearance as a nation. This 
kindling love for the nation and the en- 
thusiasm for the country may perhaps ac- 
count for the almost superhnman endurance 
and for the persistence manifested by the 
Jewish people in their unequal struggle 
against world-conquering Rome. 



With the destniction of the Jewish state 
the hold which Zion had upon the minds and 
hearts of the nation became still stronger. 
The active heroism of the people had been 
crushed, after hundreds of thousands of 
brave Jewish warriors had fallen on tbe 
battlefields, victims of their loyalty to Zion, 
but their national hope remained unim- 
paired. The brutal clearing of Palestine 
of its Jewish inhabitants by the Romans 
had only increased the yearning of the Jevvs ] 
for their home, and that yearning seems to 
have increased in intensity as the centuries 
were rolling by. Their hearts were aching 
while they remembered their land, their 
cities and their mountains long after the 
downfall of Rome. 

From the depth of their sorrow a stream 
of national poetry sprang forth, whleli per-

(White, with two blue stripes, the field bearing 
the six-pointed star, "the sign of David.") 



vaded every fiber of their material and 
spiritual life, and their very existence be- 
came an incessant longing for the restora- 
tion of Zion. That longing was the key- 
note to their daily prayers and of their 
songs, it was their only thought and dream. 
In the earlier part of the twelfth century 
"Zionides" were composed by Rabbi Jehu- 
dah Halevi of Toledo, of whom Heine said: 
"His songs were a pillar of fire that pre- 
ceded Israel in the wilderness of its exile." 
A faint idea of them may be conveyed bj 
the following*: 

"O city of the world, beautiful and majestic, 
For thee I long from distant western home.

In the whole of Palestine there are, there- 
fore, 4,360 colonists, occupying 268,278 do- 
nnm of land. Besides these there are of 
hired Jewish laborers about 700. 

The Jewish population in Palestine outside 
of the colonies is distributed as follows: 

Jerusalem 28,254 

Hebron 1429 

Jaffa 3,000 

Gaza 75 

Ramleh 166

In 1882, immediately after the first out- 
break of anti-Jewish excesses in Russia, 
there appeared a pamphlet entitled "Auto- 
Emancipation," by Dr. PInsker, an Odessa 
physician. It had for a motto the saying of 
Hillel: "Pf I will not do for myself, who 
will?" This little work stood out prominent- 
ly in the whole mass of literature on the so- 
called "Jewish question" in Europe in those 
days. For the first time in centuries, per- 
haps, the activity of an independent Jewish 
spirit became perceptible. "Help yourself 
and Grod will help you!" was the ba0lc idea 
of that little book; the goal, however, for 
which the Jewish people were to strive was. 
according to the author, not their "holy'* 
land, but their "own land." He cared little 
or not at all where such land might be 
found, provided it were found. While he rec- 
ognisea the hopelessness of the condition of 
the vast population of his people who are 
the victims of persecution and saw their 
only salvation in a great national effort, he 
at the same time ignored to a great extent 
the latent forces of a common history, of 
common traditions and religion. The "Auto- 
Bmancipation," by Dr. PInsker, was soon 
supplemented by another work in Hebrew 
entitled "Arukath-bath-Anai" (The Cure of 
My People), from the pen of a highly learned, 
popular, charitable and venerable German 
rabbi. Dr. J. Rulf, who very ably demon- 
strated that only the holy land can be the 
Jews' own land. 

In this spirit resolutions were adopted by 
a very timid assembly of delegates from 
various "Hov've Zion" associations, which 
was convened in November, 1884, at the town 
of Kattowitz, Prussia. A short time there- 
after a society of Jewish university students 
and academicians was formed in Vienna 
under the name of "Kadimah" (Forward) 
and to it the Palestinian movement owes its 
modem name of "Zionism." Similar or- 
ganizations sprang into existence in almost 
every university of Europe where Jewish 
students were matriculated in sufficient 
numbers. The greater part of the Jewish 
press became Zlonlstic in its tendency, and 
new Zlonlstic periodicals of every kind and 
description were greatly multiplied. 

Then all of a sudden the Zionistic move- 
ment experienced an impetus from an almost 
unexpected quarter. Out of the ranks of 
the so-called emancipated Jewry of western 
Europe, where for half a century the tend- 
ency to cast off every distinction of a Jew- 
ish nationality manifested itself strongly, a 
champion for the Jewish national cause 



stepped forward in the person of Dr. Theo- 
dor Herzl, Journalist and playwright. Al- 
most a stranger to his own people and to 
their hopes and aspirations, but moved sole- 
ly by sympathy at the depth of their misery, 
he undertook to solve the Jewish problem— 
on paper,at least. Owing to his keen insight 
into tne political and economical affairs of 
the world and the intuition of an able publi- 
cist, he arrived at the same conclusions 
which others had reached by their national 
instinct. He placed his ideas before the pub- 
lic in a book entitled "Judenstaat," which 
was published about five years ago and at- 
tracted the attention of the civilized world. 
In it he urged self-help on the people, thus 
utilizing their national feeling, and, at the 
same time, sought to impress upon the 
world outside of Judaism that the powers 
would be greatly benefited by* a solution of 
the vexed Jewish question through their na- 
tional restoration to their old, historical 
home. Dr. Herzl was carried so far by 
his ideas that he piade the cause of 
his people the object of his life and 
continued— and still continues— to work 
unremittingly in that direction. Another 
champion of Zionism— of a similar type, 
but still more unexpected— appeared In 
the person of Dr. Max Nordau, one of tlie 
keenest-minded and most brilliant men In 
Europe, and the possessor of extraordinary 
powers both as an orator and as a writer. 
These two men soon formed the center of a 
large circle of bright and intelligent men all 
over Europe and in vatrious walks of life, 
who took up the Zionistic agitation in their 
respective countries. 

Their endeavors have culminated thus far 
in the two Zionistic congresses held In irSasie, 
Switzerland, in August, 1897, and in August. 
1898. respectively. The programme adopted 
by the first congress is as f<dlows: 

"The aim of Zionism is to create for the 
Jewish people a publicly, legally assured 
home in Palestine. 

"In order to attain this object the con- 
gress adopts the following means: 

"1. To promote the settlement in Pales^ 
tine of Jewish agriculturists, handicrafts- 
men, industrialists and men following pro- 
fessions. 

"2. The centralization of the Jewish peo- 
ple by means of general institutions agree- 
ably to the laws of the land. 

"3. To strengthen Jewish sentiments and 
national self -conscience. 

"4. To obtain the sanction of governments 
to the carrying out of the objects of Zion- 
ism." 

As one of the means to the end for which 
the Zionists are striving the first congress 
proposed the establishment of a Jewish colo- 
nial bank, which would serve the purpose by 
the concentration and economical consolida- 
tion of Jewish capital and Jewish productive 
powers in one land, namely in Syria and Pal- 
estine. The second congress snowed a con- 
siderable progress of the scheme and an- 
nounced that the bank would commence op- 
erations with a capital stock of 110,000,000 
in London before the expiration of one year. 
The capital is being raised by a popular snb> 
scription. The par value of each share is £1. 
The latest Information regarding the Zion- 
istic movement justifies the assumption that 
this last section of its pn^^mme also is re- 
ceiving due attention on the part of the 
leaders, whose efforts, thus far, have met 
with considerable success.

PRESIDENTS OF THB UNITED STATES. 



311 



The following two dispatches appeared in 
the press during the month of November, 
1898: 

"London, Nov. 4.— On Wednesday, Nov. 2, 
the German emperor received a Jewish depu- 
tation in Jerusalem. He was presented with 
an album containing views of the Jewish 
colonies in the hoiy land. In reply to the 
address of the chief of the deputation, Dr. 
Herzl, his majesty said that all such en- 
deavors to improve the agriculture of Pal- 
estine are in the best interest of the Turkish 
empire, in full recognition of the sultan's 
sovereign rights, and might be made in com- 

f»lete reliance upon the kaiser's benevolent 
nterest.*' 

"London, Nov. 17.— The Daily Mall says: 
An important result of Emperor William's 



tour is an agreement on the part of the sul- 
tan to give his benevolent sanction to the 
Zionist movement." 

Of the extraordinarily rapid growth of 
the movement one can form an idea by com- 
paring the reM)ective attendance of the two 
congresses. The congress of 1897 was at- 
tended by 160 delegates, representing about 
350 Zionistic organizations. The second con- 
gress was composed of about 360 delegates, 
representing over 900 organizations, scat- 
tered over our globe. 

It would seem that the nineteenth century 
marvels of intercommunication have made 
it possible for the Jewish people to attempt 
to bridge the wide chasm in their common 
history.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899. 



IIE88AGS8 OF THE PBBSISEVT. 



DESTRUCTION OP THE MAINE. 

On the 28th of March, 1898, the president 
sent the following message to congress: 

To the Congress of the United States: 
For some time prior to the visit of the 
Maine to Havana harbor our consular rep- 
resentatives pointed out the advantages to 
flow from the visit of national ships to the 
Cuban waters, in accustoming the people to 
the presence of our flag as the symbol of 
good will and of our ships in the fulfillment 
of the mission of protection to American 
Interests, even though no immediate need 
therefor might exist. 

Accordingly, on Jrn. 24 last, after confer- 
ence with the SpaLlsh minister, in which 
the renewal of visits of our war vessels to 
Spanish waters was discussed and accepted, 
the peninsular authorities at Madrid and 
Havana were advised of the purpose of this 
government to resume friendly naval visitp 
at Cuban ports, and that In that view the 
Maine would forthwith call at the port of 
Havana. This announcement was received 
bv the Spanish government with apprecia- 
tion of the friendly character of the visit 
of the Maine, and with notification of in- 
tention to return the courtesy by sending 
Spanish ships to the principal ports of the 
United States. Meanwhile the Maine en- 
tered the port of Havana on Jan. 26, her 
arrival being marked with no special inci- 
dent besides the exchange of customary and 
ceremonial visits. 

The Maine continued in the harbor of Ha- 
vana during the three weeks following her 
arrival. No appreciable excitement at- 
tended her stay. On the contrary, a feeling 
of relief and confidence followed the re- 
sumption of the long interruption of 
friendly Intercourse. So noticeable was this 
immediate effect of her visit that the con- 
sul-general strongly urged that the presence 
of our ships in Cuban waters should be 
kept up by retaining the Maine at Havana 
or in the event of her recall by sending an- 
other vessel there to take her place. 

At 9:40 in the evening of Feb. 16 the Maine 
was destroyed by an explosion, by which 
the entire forward part of the cabin was 
utterly wrecked. In this catastrophe two 
officers and 268 of her crew perished, those 
who were not killed outright by her explo- 
sion being penned between decks by the 
tangle of wreckage and drowned by the im- 
mediate sinking of the hull. Prompt as- 
sistance was rendered by the neighboring 
vessels anchored in the harbor, aid being es- 
pecially given by the boats of the Spanish 
cruiser Alfonso XII. and the Ward line 
steamer City of Washington, which lay not 
far distant. The wounded were generously 
cared for bv the authorities of Havana, the 
hospitals being freely opened to them, 
while the earliest recovered bodies of the 
dead were Interred by the municipality In a 
public cemetery In the city. Tributes of 
grief and sympathy were offered from all 
official quarters of the island. 

The appalling calamity fell upon the peo- 
ple of our country with crushing force, and 
for a brief time an intense excitement pre- 
vailed, which in a community less just and 
self-controlled than ours might have led to 
hasty acts of blind resentment. This spirit, 
however, soon gave way to the calmer 

ftrocesses of reason and to the resolve to 
nvestlgate the facts and await the mate- 
rial proof before forming a judgment as to 



the cause, the respoDsibilitT, and, if the 
facts warranted, tne remedy due.. . This 
course necessarily recommended itself from 
the outset to the executive, for only in the 
light of a dispassionately ascertained cer- 
tainty could ft determine the nature and 
measure of its foil duty in the matter. 

The usual procedure was followed as in 
all cases of casualty or disaster to national 
vessels of any maritime state. A naval 
court of inquiry was at once organized, 
composed of ofllcers well qualified by rank 
and practical experience to discharge the 
onerous duty imposed upon them. Aided by 
a strong force of wreckers and divers, the 
court proceeded to make a thorough investl- 

fation on the spot, employing every avalla- 
le means for the impartial and exact de- 
termination of the causes of the explosion. 
Its operations have been conducted with the 
utmost deliberation and judgment, and 
while independently pursued no source of 
information was neglected and the fullest 
opportunity was allowed for a simultane- 
ous Investigation by the Spanish authorities. 
The finding of the court of inquiry was 
reached, after twenty-three days of continu- 
ous labor, on the 21st of March Inst., and, 
having been approved on the 22d by the 
commander-in-cnlef of the United States 
naval force on the North Atlantic station, 
was transmitted to the executive. 

It is herewith laid before the congress, to- 
gether with the voluminous testimony 
taken before the court. Its purport is, in 
brief, as follows: . ^ ^ „ w 

**When the Maine arrived at Havana she 
was conducted bv the regular government 
pilot to buoy No. 4, to which she was 
moored in from five and one-half to six 
fathoms of water. The state of discipline 
on board and the condition of her maga- 
zines, boilers, coal bunkers and storage 
compartments are passed In review, with 
the conclusion that excellent order pre- 
vailed and that no indication of any cause 
for an internal explosion existed In any 

quarter. . , ^ ^ . ^^ 

"At 8 o'clock in the evening of Feb. 16 

everything had been reported secure and 

all was quiet. ^ „ ^^ i 

••At forty minutes past 9 the vessel was 
suddenly destroyed. ^. ^, ^ , , 

••There were two distinct explosions, 
with a brief interval between them. The 
first lifted the forward part of the ship very 
perceptibly: the second, which was more 
prolonged, is attributed by the court to the 
partial explosion of two or more of the for- 
ward magazines. . .. ^ 

••The evidence of the divers establishes 
that the after part of the ship Was prac- 
tically intact and sunk in that condition a

"Upon the evidence of concurrent ex-

••At frame 17 the outer shell of the ship^ 
from a point eleven and one-half feet from 
the middle line of the ship and six feet 
above the keel when in its normal position, 
has been forced up so as to be now about 
four feet above tne surface of the water; 
therefore, about thirty-four feet above 
where it would be had the ship sunk unin- 
jured.

which, about fifteen feet broad and thirty- 
two feet In length (from frame 17 to frame

continuation of the same plating extending 
forward. 

**At frame 18 the yertlcal keel is broken

to the angle formed for the outside plates. 
This break is about six feet below the sur-

**In the opinion of the court this effect 
could have been produced only by the ex- 
plosion of a mine situated under the bottom 
of the ship, at about frame 18. and some- 
what on the port side of the ship. 

"The conclusions of the court are: That 
the loss of the Maine was not in any respect 
due to fault or negligence on the part of 
any of the officers or members of her crew. 

**That the ship was destroyed by the ex- 
plosion of a submarine mine, which caused 
the partial explosion of two or more of 
her lorward magazines; and. 

"That no evidence has been obtainable 
fixing the responsibility for the destruction 
of the Maine upon any person or persons." 

I have directed that the finding of the 
court of inquiry and the views of the gov- 
ernment thereon be communicated to the 
fovemment of her majesty the queen, and 
do not permit myself to doubt that the 
sense of justice of the Spanish nation will 
dictate a course of action suggested by 
honor and the friendly relations of the two 
governments.

vise the congress of the result, and In tho 
meantime deliberate consideration Is in-

Executive Mansion, March 28, 1898. 



THE WAB MESSAGE. 

To tiie Gongrees of the Doited States: 
Obedient to that precept of the constitution 
which commandB the president to give twom 
time to time the congress InfonDatfon of the 
state of the union and to recommend to their 
con»lderatioD such measures as he shell 
Judge necessary and e&pedlent, it becomes 
my duty now to address your body with re- 
gard to the grave crisis that has arisen In 
the relations of the United States to Sl)ain 
by reasoti of the warfare that for more than 
three years has raged in the neighboring is- 
land of Cuba. 

I do so because of the intimate connection 
of the Cuban question with the state of our 
own union and the grave relation the course 
which it is now incumbent upon the nation 
to adopt must needs beer to the traditional 
policy of our government If it is to accord 
with the precepts laid down by the founders 
of the republic and religiously observed by 
succeeding administrations to the present 
day. 

The recent revolution 1« but the successor 
of other slmUair insurrections which have 
occurred in Cuba against the dominion of 
^ain, extending over a i>eriod of nearly half 
\a century, eech of which, during its prog- 
ress, has subjected the tJnitied States to 
great effort and expense in enforcing Its 
neutrality laws, caused enormous losses to 
the American trade and commerce, caused 
irritation, annoyance and disturbance among 
our citizens, and, by the exercise of cruel, 
barbarous and uncivilized practices of war- 
fare, shocked the sensibilities and offended 
the humane sympathies of our p(>ople. 

Since the present revolution began, in Feb- 



ruary, 1895, this country hes seen the fertile 
domain at our threshold ravaged by fire and 
sword in the course of a struggle unequaled 
in the history of the island and rarely paral- 
leled es to the number of the comlwtants 
and the bitterness of the contest by any 
revolution of modem times where a de- 
pendent people, striving to be free, have 
been opposed by the power of the sovereign 
stete. 

Our people have beheld a once prosperous 
community reduced to comparative want, its 
commerce virtually paralyzed, its exception- 
al productiveness diminished, its fields laid 
waste, its mills in ruins and its people per- 
iling by tens of thousands from hunger and 
destitution. 

We have found ourselves constrained, in 
the observance of that strict neutrality 
which our laws enjoin and which the law of 
naMons commands, to police our own waters 
and watch our own seaports in prevention 
of any unlawful act in aid of the Ouband. 

Our trade has suffered; the capital In- 
vested by our citizens in Cuba has been 
largely lost, end the temper and forbearance 
of our people have been so sorely tried as to 
beget a perilous unrest among our own citi- 
zens, which has inevitably found its expres- 
sion from time to time in the nati<Hiail legis- 
lature, so that Issues wlioUy external to our 
own body politic engross attention and stand 
in the way of that dose devotion to domes- 
tic advancement that becomes a self-con- 
tented commonweelth, whose primal maxim 
has been the avoidance of all foreign en- 
tanslementa. 

All this must needs awaken and has in- 
deed aroused the utmost concern on the part 
of this government, as well during my pred- 
ecessor's adxninistiation as my own. 

In April, 1896. the evils from whix^b our 
country suffered through the Cubsn war be- 
came so onerous that my predecessor made 
an effort to bring about a peace through 
the mediation of this government in any 
way that might tend to an honorable ad- 
justment of the contest between Spain and 
her revolted colony on the basis of some 
effective scheme of self-government for Cuba 
under the flag and sovereignty of Spain. It 
failed through the refusal of the ^lanlsh 
government then in power to consider any 
form of mediation, or. Indeed, any idan of 
settlement which did not begin with the 
actual submission of the insurgents to the 
mother country, and then only on such 
terms as &paln herself might see fit to 
irrant. 

The* war continued unabated. The resist- 
ance of the insurgents was in nowise dimin- 
ished. 

The efforts of Spain were increased, both 
by the dispatch of fresh levies to Cuba 
end by the addition to the horrors of the 
strife of a new and inhuman i^ase hai^ily 
unprecedented in the modern histoiy of 
civilized Christian peoples. 

The policy of devastation and concentra- 
tion inaugurated by the oaptain-genenBi's 
order of Oct. 21, 1896, in the province of 
Plnar d«l Rio. was thence extended to em- 
brace all of tne Island to which the power 
of the Spanish arms was able to reach by 
occupation or by military operations. 

The peasantry, including all dwelling in 
the open agricultural interior, were driven 
into the garrison towns or isolated places 
held by the troops. 'Hie raising and move- 
ment of provisions of all kinds were Inter- 
dicted. The fields were laid waste, dwell-

logs unvoofed and fired, mills destroyed, 
and, in abort, eyerythiiur tbat could desolate 
the land and render It unfit for human 
IiabitatioQ or support was commanded hj 
one or the other of the contending parties, 
and executed by all tbe powers at tbeir dis- 
posal. 

By th^ time the present adndnistratlon 
took office, a year ago, reconcentration— so 
called— had been made effective over the 
better part of the four central and wecrtern 
provinces— Santa CAara, Malansuis, Havana 
and Pinar del Rio. The agricultural popu- 
lation, to the estimated number of 300,000 or 
more, was herded within the towns and their 
immediate vicinage, deprived of the means 
of support, rendered destitute of shelter, 
left poorly clad and exposed to the most un- 
sanitaiT conditions. 

As the scarcity of food increased with the 
devastation of the depopulated areas of pro- 
duction, destitution and want became misery 
and starvation. Month by month the death 
rate increased in an alarming ratio. 

By March, 1897, according to conservative 
estimates from official Spanish sources, the 
mortality among the reconcentrados from 
starvation and the diseases thereto incident 
exceeded 50 per centum of their total num- 
ber. 

No practical relief was accorded to the 
destitute. The overburdened towns, already 
suffering from the general dearth, could give 
no aid. So-called zones of cultivation, es- 
tablished within the immediate area of ef- 
fective military conitrol about the cities and 
fortified camps, proved illusory as a remedy 
for the suffering. The unfortunates, being 
for the most part women and children, with 
aged and helpless men enfeebled by disease 
and hunger, could not have tilled the soil 
without tools, seed or shelter for their'own 
support or for the supply of the cities. 

Reconcentration, adopted avowedly as a 
war measure in order to cut off the resources 
of the insnigents, wo4*ked its predestined 
result. As 1 said in my message of last 
December, it was not civilized warfare; it 
was extermination. The only peace it could 
beget was that of the wilderness and the 
gnave. 

Meanwhile the military situation in the 
island had undei^one a noticeable change. 
The extraordinary activity that- character- 
ized the second year of the war, when the 
insurgents invaded even the hitherto un- 
harmed fields of Pinar del Rio and carried 
havoc and destitution up to the walls of the 
city of Havana itself, nad relapsed into a 
dogged struggle in the central and eastern 
provinces. The Spanish arms regained a 
measure of control in Pinar del Rio and 
parts of Havana, but under the existing con> 
ditions of the rural country without imme- 
diate improvement of their productive situa- 
tion. • 

Even thus partially restricted the revolu- 
tionists held their own, and their submis- 
sion, put forward by ^ain as the essential 
and sole ba«is of peace, seemed as fax di»- 
tant as at the outset. 

In this state of affairs my administration 
found itself confronted with the grave prob- 
lem of its duty. My message of last De- 
cember reviewed the situation and detailed 
the steps taken with a view of relieving its 
aeuteness and opening the way to some form 
of honorable settlement. 

The assassination of the prime minister, 
.Oanovas. led to a change of government in 
Spain. The former administration, pledged 



to subjugation without concessions gave 
place to that of a more liberal party, com- 
mitted l(Nig in advance to a policy of reform 
involving the wider principle of home rule 
for Cuba and Puerto Rico. 

The overtures of this government, made 
through its new envoy. Gen. Woodford, and 
looking to an immediate and effective 
amelioration of the condition of tlie island, 
although not accepted to the exteot of ad- 
mitted mediation in any shape, were met by 
assurances that home rule, in an advanced 
phase, would be forthwith offered to Cube 
without waiting for the war to end, and 
that more humane methods should thence- 
forth prevail in the conduct of hostilities. 

Incidentally with these declaratioi^ the 
new goternment of Spain continned and! 
completed the policy already begun by its 

Sredecessor of testifying friendly regard for 
bis nation by releasing American citiaens 
held under one charge or another connected 
with the insurrection, so that by the end of 
November not a single person entitled in any 
way to our national protection remained in 
a Spanish prison. 

While these negotiations were in progress 
the increasing destitution of the unfortunate 
reconcentrados and the alarming mortality 
among them claimed earnest attention. The 
success which had attended the limited 
measure of relief extended to the crafleriog 
American citizens among them by tbe jucU- 
cious expenditure through the consular 
agencies of the money appropriated express- 
ly for their succor by the joint resolution 
approved May 24, 1897, prompted the hu- 
mane extension of a similar scheme of aid 
to this end and was acquiesced in. by the 
Sipanish authorities. 

On the 24th of December last I caused to 
be issued an appeal to the American people, 
inviting contributions in money or in kind 
for the succor of the starving sufferers in 
Cuba, following this on the 8th of January 
by a i^milar public announcement of the 
formation of a central Cuban relief commit- 
tee, with headquarters in New York city, 
composed of three members representing the 
American National Red C^oss and the relig- 
ious and business elements of the commu- 
nity. 

The efforts of that committee have been 
untiring and accomplished much. Arrange- 
ments for free transportBtI(m to Cuba have 
greatly aided the charitable work. The 
president of the American Red Cross and 
representatives of other contributory organ- 
izations have generously visited Cuba and 
co-operated with the ccmsul-general and the 
local authorities to make effective distribu- 
tion of the relief collected through the ef- 
forts of the central committee. 

Nearly $200,000 in money and supplies has 
already reached the sufferers, and more Is 
forthcoming. The sui^lies are admitted 
duty free, and transportation to the interior 
has been arranged, so that the relief, at» 
first necessarily confined to Havana and the 
larger cities, is now extended through most 
if not all of the towns where suffering ex- 
ists. Thousands of lives have already t)een 

The necessity for a change In the condi- 
tion of the reconcentrados is recognised by 
the Spanish government. Within a few 
days past the orders of Gen. Weyler have 
been revoked; the reconcentrados are, it \B 
said, to be permitted to return to their 
homes and aided to resume the self-sn^ 
porting pursuits of peace; public wMfct

have been ordered to give them employ- 
ment, aod a Bum of $600,000 has been ap- 
propriated for their relief. 

The vrar in Caba is of such a nature that 
shovt of subjugatioD or extermination a 
final military victory for either side seems 
impracticable. The alteraative lies in the 

I physical exhaustion of the one or the other 
party, or perhaps of both — a condition which 
in effect ended the ten years war by the 
trace of Zanjon. The prospect of finch a 
protraction and coneloslon of the present 
strife is a contingency tiardly to be con- 
templated with equanimity by the civilized 
world, and least of all by the United States, 
affected and injured as we are, deeply and 
intimately, by its very existence. 

Realizing this, it appeared to be my duty, 
in a spirit of true friendliness no less to 
Spain than to the Cubans, who have so 
much to lose by the prolongation of the 
straggle, to seek to bring about an im- 
mediate termination of tbe war. To this 
I end 1 submitted, on the 27th ult., as a re- 
sult of much representation and correspond- 
ence, through the United States minister at 
Madrid, propositions to the Spanish govern- 
ment looking to an armistice until Oct 1 for 
the negotiation of peace with the good 
offices of the president. 

In addition, I asked the immediate revo- 
cation of the order of reconcentiation, so as 
to permit the people to return to theif farms 

i, and the needy to ne relieved with provisions 
and supplies from tbe United States, co- 
I operating with the Spanish authorities so 
as to afford full relief. 
The reply, of the Spanish cabinet was re- 
ceived on the night of the 81st ult. It of- 
fers, as the means to bring about peace in 
Cube, to confide the preparation thereof to 
the Insular department, inasmuch as tbe 
concurrence of that body would be neces- 
sary to reach a final result, it being, how- 
ever, understood that the powers reserved 
by the constitution to the central govern- 
ment are not lessened or diminished. 

As the Cuban jmrllament does not meet 
until tbe 4th of May next, the Spanish gov- 
ernment would not object, for its part, to 
accept at once a suspension of hostilities if 
asked for by the Insurgents from tbe gen- 
eral-in-chlef, to whom It would pertain, in 
such case, to determine the duration and 
conditions of the armistice. 

The propositions submitted by Gen. Wood- 
ford and the reply of .the Spanish govern- 
ment were both in the form of brief memo- 
randa, the texts of which are before me, 
and are substantially in the language above 
given. The function of the Cuban parlia- 
ment in the matter of "preparing" peace 
and tbe manner of its doing so are not ex- 
pressed in the Spanish memorandum, but 
from Gen. Woodford's explanatory reports 
of preliminary discussions preceding the 
final conference it is understood that the 
Spanish government stands ready to give 
the insular congress full powers to settle 
the terms of peace with the insurgents, 
whether by direct negotiation or indirectly 
by means of legislation does not appear. 

' With this last overture in the direction of 
immediate peace and Its disappointing re- 
ception by Spain, the executive was brought 
to the end of his effort. 

In my annaal message of December last I 
said : 

"Of the untried measures there remain: 
Recognition of the Insurgents as belliger- 



ents, recognition of the independence of 
Cuba, neutral intervention to end the war 
by imposing a rational compromise between 
the contestants, and intervention in favor of 
one or the other party, 1 speak not of forci- 
ble annexation, for that cannot be thought 
of. That, by our code of morality, would be 
criminal aggression." 

Thereupon I reviewed these alternatives 
In the light of President Grant's measured 
words, uttered in 1875, when after seven 
years of sanguinary, destructive and cruel 
barbarities in Cuba he reached the conclu- 
sion that tbe rec(^nltlon of the independ- 
ence of Cuba was impracticable and in- 
defensible, and that the recognition of bel- 
ligerence was not warranted by the facts, 
according to the tests of public law. I 
commented especially upon the latter aspect 
of the question, pointing out the incon- 
veniences and positive dangers of a recogni- 
tion of belligerency, which, while adding to 
the already onerous burdens of neutrality 
within our own Jurisdiction, could not in 
any way extend our Influence or effective 
offices in the territory of hostilities. 

Nothing has since occurred to change my 
view in this regard, and I recognize as fully 
now as then that the issuance of a procla- 
mation of neutrality, by which process the 
so-called rec(^nltion of belligerence Is pub- 
lished, could of itself and unattended by 
other action accomplish nothing toward the 
one end for which we labor, the instant 
pacification of Cuba and the cessation of the 
misery that affilcts the island. 

Turning to the question of recognizing at 
this time the Independence of the present 
insurgent government in Cuba, we find safe 
precedents in our history from an early day. 
They are well summed up in President Jack- 
son's message to congress Dec. 21, 1836, on 
the subject of the recognition of the inde- 
pendence of Texas. He said: 

"In all the contests that have arisen out 
of the revolution of France, out of the jdis- 
putes relating to tne crews of Portugal and 
Spain, out of the separation of the Amer- 
ican possessions of both from the European 
governments, and out of the numerous and 
constantly occurring struggles for dominion 
in Spanish America, so wisely consistent 
with our Just principles has been the action 
of our government that we have under the 
most critical circumstances avoided all cen- 
sure, and encountered no other evil than 
that produced by a transient estrangement 
of good will in those against whom we have 
been by force of evidence compelled to de- 
cide. It has thus been made known to the 
world that the uniform policy and practice 
of the United States is to avoid all Inter- 
ferences In disputes which merely relate to 
the internal government of other nations, 
and eventually to recognize the authority of 
the prevailing party, without reference to 
our particular Interests and views or to the 
merits of the original controversy. 

"But on this, as on every other trying oc- 
casion, safety is to be found in a rigid ad- 
herence to principle. In the contest between 
Spain and tbe revolted colonies we stood 
aloof and waited not until the ability of the 
new states to protect themselves was fully 
established, but until the danger of their 
being again subjugated had entirely passed 
away. Then, and not until then, were they 
recognized. Such was our course in regard 
to Mexico herself. 

"It is true that with regard to Texas the 
civil authority of Mexico had been expelled. 



316

its inyadiiMr army defeated, the chief of the 
republic himself captured, and all present 
power to ooDtrol the newl/ otvanized gov- 
ernment of to-day annihilated within its 
confines. But on the other band there is in 
appearance at least an immense disparity 
of physical force on the side of Texas^ The 
Mexican republic under another executire is 
rallying its fovces under a new leader and 
menacing a fresh invasion to recover its lost 
dominion. Upon the issue of this threatened 
invasion the independence of Texas may be 
considered as suspended, and, were there 
nothing peculiar in the attitude (^ the 
United States and Texas, our aclcnowledg- 
ment of its independence at such a crisis 
could scarcely be regarded as consistent 
with that prudent reserve with which we 
have hitherto held ourselves bound to treat 
all similar questions." 

Thereupon Andrew Jackson proceeded to 
consider the. risk that there might be im- 
puted to the United States motives of self- 
ish interests, in view of the fo>rmer claim 
on our part to the territory of Texas and of 
the avowed purpose of the Texans in seek- 
ing recognition of independence as an inci- 
dent to the incorporation of Texas in the 
union, concluding thus: 

"Prudence, therefore, seems to dictate 
that we should still stand aloof and main- 
tain our present attitude, if not until Mex- 
ico itself or one of the great foreign pow- 
ers shall recognize the independence of the 
new government, at least until the lapse of 
time or the course of events shall have 
proved beyond cavil or dispute the abilitv of 
the people of tiiat country to maintain their 
separate sovereignty and to uphold the gov- 
ernment constituted by them. 

"Neither of the contending parties can 
Justly complain of this course. By pursuing 
it we are but carrying out the Icmg-estab- 
lished policy of our government, a policy 
which has secured to us respect and influ- 
ence abroad and inspired confidence at 
home." 

These are the words of the resolute and 
patriotic Jackson, They are evidence that 
the United States, in addition to the test 
imposed by public law as the condition of 
the recognition of independence by a neu- 
tral state— to wit, that the revolted states 
shall "constitute in fact a body politic, 
having a government In substance as well 
as in name, possessed.^ of the elements of 
stability," and forming de facto, "if left to 
itself, a state among the nations, reason- 
ably capable of discharging the duties of a 
state"— has imposed for its own governance 
in dealing with cases like these the further 
condition that recognition of independent 
statehood is uot due to a revolted depend- 
ency until the danger of its being again sub- 
jugated by the parent state has entirely 
passed away. 

This extreme test was in fact applied In 
the case of Texas. The congress to whom 
President Jackson referred the question as 
one "probably leading to war" and there- 
fore a proper subject for "a previous under- 
standing with that body, by whom war can 
alone be declared, and by whom all the pro- 
visions for sustaining its perils must be 
furnished," left the matter of the recogni- 
tion of Texas to the discretion of the execu- 
tive, providing merely for the sending of a 
diph)matic agent when the president should 
be satisfied that the republic of Texas had 
become "an independent state." It was so 
recognized by President Van Buren, who 



commissioned a charge d'affaires March 1i 
1837, after Mexico bad abandoned an at 
tempt to reconquer the Texan territory an 
when there was at the time no bona-' 
contest going on between the insurgent proi 
ince ana its former sovereign. 

I said in my message of December last: 

"It is to be seriously considered whethi 
the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond di 
pute the attributes of statehood, whlc 
alone can demand the recognition of bell 
erency in Its favor." 

The same requirement must certaiidy 
no less seriously considered when the graT( 
issue of recognizing independence is in que 
tion, for no less positive test can be ai^lie 
to the greater act than to the lesser, wbi' 
on the other hand the influences and 
sequences of the struggle upon the intei 
policy of the recognizing state, which for 
important factors when the recognition 
belligerency is concerned, are secondary, 
not rightly eliminable factors when the rel 
question is "whether the commhnity claimii 
recogrnition is or is not independent beyoi 
peradventure. 

Nor from the standpoint of expedience 
I think it would be wise or prudent for thl 
government to recognize at the present tii 
the so-called Cuban republic. Soch recoi 
nition is not necessary in order to eoabi 
the United States to intervene and padt 
the island. 

To conmiit this conntiy now to the 
ognition of any particular government 
Cuba might subject us to embarrassing coi 
ditions of international obligations towai 
the organization so recognized. In case 
intervention our conduct would be subj 
to the approval or disapproval of such f^r*l 
ernments, vc would be required to 8nbmlt| 
to its direction and to assume to It the mei 
relation of a friendly ally. 

When it shall appear hereafter that tbel 
is within the island a government capabi 
of performing the duties and dischargimi 
the functions of a separate nation, and taafj 
ing as a matter of fact the proper forr"^ 
and attributes of nationality, such govei 
ment can be promptly and readily reeoj 
nized and the relations and Interests of ' 
United States with such nation adjvsted^ 

There remain the alternative forms of il 
tervention to end the war, either as an li 
partial neutral by imposing a rational 
promise between the contestants, op as tl 
active ally of the one party or the otber. 

As to the first, it is not to be forgottf 
that during the last few months the reil 
tlon of the United States has virtually "'" 
one of friendly Intervention in many waj 
each not of itself conclusive, but all tendll 
to the exertion of a potential influence 
ward an ultimate paciflc result just ai 
honorable to all interests concerned. 

The spirit of all our acts hitherto has 
an earnest, unselfish desire for peace ai 
prosperity in Cuba, untarnished by diffeS^ 
ences between us and Spain and unstaiai 
by the blood of American citizens. 

The forcible intervention of the Unlt< 
States as a neutral to stop the war, accor 
ing to the large dictates of humanity 
following many historical precedents wb^ 
neighboring states have interfered to cti 
the hopeless sacrifice of life by interoecl 
conflicts beyond their borders, is Justlflai 
on rational grounds. It involves, howev^l 
hostile constraint upon both the parties 
the contest as well to enforce a truce u 
guide the eventual settlement.

whether the indispensable condition of a

and to Spain, as well as equitable to all our

right and duty. It will be faced, without 
misgiving or hesitancy, in the light of the 
obligation this goyernment owes itself, to 
the people who have confided to it the pro- 
tection of their interests and honor, and to 
humanity. 

"Sure of the right, keeping free from all 
offense ourselves, actuated only by upright 
and patriotic considerations, moved neither 
by passion nor selfishness, the government 
wUl continue its watchful care over the 
rights and property of American citizens, 
and will abate none of its efforts to bring 
about by peaceful agencies a peace which 
shall be honorable and enduring. If it shall 
hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by 
our obligations to ourselves, to civilization 
and humanity to intervene with force, it 
shall be without fault on our part and only 
because the necessity for sucn action will 
be so clear as to command the support and 
approval of the civilized world." 

The long trial has proved that the object 
for which Spain has waged the war cannot 
be attained. The fire of insurrection may 
flame or may smolder with varying seasons, 
but it has not been and it is plain that it 
cannot be extinguished by present methods. 

The only hope of relief and repose from a 
condition which cannot longer be endured is 
the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the 
name of humanity, in the name of civiliza- 
tion, in behalf of endangered American in- 
terests, which give us the right and duty to 
speak and to act, the war In Cuba must 
stop. 

In view of these facts and these consid- 
erations, I ask the congress to authorize and 
empower the president to take measures to 
secure a full and speedy termination of hos- 
tilities between the government of Spain 
and the people of Cuba, and to secure in the 
Island the eErtablishment of a stable govern- 
ment, capable of maintaining order and ob- 
serving its international obligations, insur- 
ing peace and tranquillity and the security 
of its citizens, as well as our own, and to 
use the military and naval forces of the 
United States as may be necessary for these 
purposes. 

And in the interest of humanity and to 
aid in preserving the lives of the starving 
people of the island I recommend that the 
distribution of food and supplies be con- 
tinued and that an appropriation be made 
out of the public treasury to supplement the 
charity of our citizens. 

The issue is now with the congress. It Ig 
a solemn responsibility. I have exhausted 
every effort to relieve the intolerable condi- 
tion of affairs which is at our doors. Pre- 
pared to execute every obligation imposed 
upon me by the constitution and the law, I 
await your action. 

Yesterday and since the preparation of the 
foregoing message official information was 
received by me tnat the latest decree of the 
queen regent of Spain directs Gen. Blanco, 
in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to 

Sroclalm a suspension of hostilities, the 
uratlon and details jt which have not yet 
been communicated to me. This fact, with 
every other pertinent consideration, will, I 



am sure, have your Just and careful atten- 
tion in the solemn deliberations upon 'which 
you are about to enter. 

If this measure attains a successful re- 
sult, then our aspirations as a Christian, 
peace-loving people will be realized. If it 
fails, it will be only another Jostlficatiou 
for oar contemplated action. 

WILLIAM M'KINLBX. 

Executive Mansion, April 11, 1898. 



FOB A DECLARATION OP WAB. 

To the Senate and House of Repveseitta 
tives of the United States of America: 

I transmit to the congress for its consid- 
eration and appropriate action copie* of cor 
re8i>ondence rHcently had with the repvesent- 
ative of 'Spain In the United States, witn 
the United States minister at Madri^, and 
through the latter with the government of 
Spain, showing the action taken under the 
Joint resolution approved April 20. 1898, '*for 
the recognition of the independence of the 
people of Cuba, demanding that the govern- 
ment of Spain relinquish its authority and 
government in the iJBland of Cuba and to 
withdraw its land and naval forces from 
Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the 

{^resident of the United States to nse the 
and and naval forces of the United States 
to carry these resolutions into effect." 

Upon communicatlncr with the Spanish 
minister in Washington the demand which 
it became the duty of the executive to ad- 
dress to the government of Spain in obedi- 
ence to said resolution, the said minister 
asked for bis passports and withdrew. 

The United States minister at Madrid 
was in turn notified by the Spanish minister 
for foreign affairs that the withdrawal of 
the Spanish representative from the United 
States had terminated dipIonjjBtlc relations 
between the two countries, and that all of- 
ficial communications between their respect- 
ive representatives ceased therewith. 

I recommend to your especial attention 
the note addressed to the United Spates 
minister at Madrid by the Spanish minister 
for foreign affairs on the 21st inst., wheteby 
the foregoing notification was conveyed. It 
will be perceived therefrom that the govern- 
ment of Spain, having cognizance of the 
Joint resolution of the United States con- 

fress, and in view of things which the presi- 
ent is thereby required and authorized to 
do, responds by treating the representative 
demands of this government as measures of 
hostility, following with that instant and 
complete severance of relations by its ac- 
tion whereby the usage of nations accom- 
panies an existent state of war between 
sovereign powers. 

TIhe position of Spain bein^ thus BEUide 
known and the demands of the United 
States being denied with a complete rupture 
of intercourse by the act of ^ain, I have 
been constrained, in exercise of the power 
and authority conferred upon me by the 
Joint resolution aforesaid, to proclaim, un- 
der date of April 22, 1898, a blockade of cer- 
tain ports of the north coast of Cuba lying 
between Cardenas and Bahia Honda, and of 
the port of Cienfuegos on the south coast of 
Cuba; and further, in exercise of my con- 
stitutional powers and using the euthcHlty 
conferred upon me by the act of congress 
approved April 22, 1898, to issue a proclama- 
tion, dated April 23. 1898, calling for volun- 
teers In order to carry into effect the said 
resolution of April 20. 1898.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOE 18W. 



The members of the crew who were with 
Mr. Hobson on this memorable occasion 
hare already been rewarded for their serv- 
ices by advancement, which, under the pro> 
visions of law and regulation, the secretary 
of the navy was authorized to make, and the 
nomination to the senate of Naval Cadet 
Powell, who, in a steam launch, followed 
the Merrimac on her perilous trip for the 
purpose of resculoe her force after the sink- 
ing of that vessel, to be advanced in rank 
to the grade of ensign, has been prepared 
and will be submitted. 

Gushing, with whose gallant act in blow- 
Ing up the ram Albemarle during the civil 
war Admiral Sampson compares Mr. Hob- 
son's sinking of the Merrimac, received the 
thanks of congress, upon recommendation of 
the president, by name, and was in conse- 
quence, under the provisions of section 1608 
of the revised statutes, advanced one grade, 
such advancement embracing flfty-slx num- 
bers. The section cited applies, however, to 
line officers only, and Mr. Hobson, being a 
member of the staff of the navy, could not 
under its provisions be so advanced. 

Iiwconsldering the question of suitably re- 
warding Assistant Naval Constructor Hob- 
son for his valiant conduct on the occasion 
referred to I have deemed it proper to ad- 
dress this message to you with the recom- 
mendation that he receive the thanks of 
congress, and, further, that he be trans- 
ferred to the line of the navy and promoted 
to such position therein as the president, by 
and with the advice and consent of the sen- 
ate, may determine. Mr. Hobson's transfer 
from the construction corps to the line is 
fully warranted, he having received the 
necessary technical training as a graduate 
of the naval academy, where he stood No. 1 
in his class, and such action is recom- 
mended partly in deference to what is un- 
lerstood to be his own desire, although, he 
^ing now a prisoner in the hands of the 
enemy, no direct communication on the sub- 
ject has been received from him, and partly 
for the reason that the abilities displayed 
by him at Santiago are of such a character 
as to indicate especial fitness for the duties 
of the line. WILLIAM M'KINLEY. 

Executive Mansion, June 27, 1898. 



REWARD FOR LIEUT. NEWOOMB. 

To the Congress of the United States: On 
the 11th day of May, 1898, there occurred a 
conflict in the bay of Cardenas, Cuba, in 



which the naval torpedo boat Winslow was 
disabled, her commander wounded and onei 
of her officers and a part of her crew killed 
by the enemy's fire. 

In the face of a most galling lire from 
the enemy's guns the revenue cutter Hud- 
son, commanded by First Lieutenant Frank 
H. Newcomb, United States revenue-cutter 
service, rescued the disabled Winslow, her 
wounded commander and remalQlns crew. 
The commander of the Hudson kc^t nia Tea- 
sel in the very hottest fire of the action, al- 
though in constant danger of going ashore 
on account of the shallow water, until be 
finally got a line made fast to the Winslow 
and towed that vessel out of range of the 
enemy's guns, a deed of special gallantry. 

I recommend that, in recognition of the 
signal act of heroism of First Lieutenant 
Frank H. Newcomb, United States revenue- 
cutter service, above set forth, the thanks 
of congress be extended to him and to his 
officers and men of the Hudson, and a crold 
medal of honor be presented Lieut. New- 
comb, a silver medal of honor to each of his 
officers and a bronse medal of honor to each 
of his crew who served with him at Car- 
denas. 

It will be remembered that congress, by 
appropriate action, recognised the several 
commanders of ships of war for their serv- 
ices in the battle of Manila, May 1, 1898. 

GAPT. HODGSON REMEMBERED. 

The commander of the revenue cutter 
Hugh McCulloch, present and in active co- 
operation with the fleet under Commodore 
Dewey on that occasion (by executive order 
under the provisions of section 2775, reTiaed 
statutes), is the only commander of a na- 
tional ship to whom promotion or adrance- 
ment was not and could not be given, be- 
cause he already held the highest rank 
known to the revenue-cutter service. 

i now recommend that, in recognition of 
the efficient and meritorious services of 
Capt. Daniel B. Hodgson, United States 
revenue-cutter service, who commanded the 
Hugh McCulloch at the battle of Manila 
(that officer being now In the 63d year of his 
age and having served continuously on 
active duty for thirty-seven years), be 
placed upon permanent waiting orders on 
the retired list of the revenue-cutter service 
on the full-duty pay of bis grade.

TEE PRESIDEirrS SEOOim ASVVAL MESSAGE. 



To the Senate and House of Representa- 
tives: Notwithstanding the added burdens 
rendered necessary by the war, our people 
rejoice in a very satisfactory and steadily 
Increasing degree of prosperity, evidenced 
by the largest volume of business ever re- 
corded. 

Manufacture has been productive, agri- 
cultural pursuits have yielded abundant re- 
turns, labor In the fields of industry Is bet- 
ter rewarded, revenue legislation passed by 
the present congress has increased thf 
treasury's receipts to the amount estimated 
by its authors, the finances of the govern- 
ment have been successfully administered 
and its credit advanced to the first rank, 
while its currency has been maintained at 
the world's highest standard. 

Military service under a common flag and 



for a righteous cause has strengthened the 
national spirit and served to cement more 
closely than ever the fraternal bonds be- 
tween every section of the country. 

A review of the relation of the United 
States to other powers, always appropriate, 
is this year of primary importance in vieiK 
of the momentous issues which have arisen, 
demanding in one instance the ultimate de- 
termination by arms and involving far- 
reaching consequences which will require 
the earnest attention of the congress. 

In my last annual message very full con- 
sideration was given to the question of the 
duty of the government of the United 
States toward Spain and the C^ban insur- 
rection as being by far the most Important 
problem with which we were then called 
upon to deal. The considerations then ad-

earnest and anse^flsb endearors to faltill a 
duty to humanity by ending a situation tbe 
Indeflnlter prolongation of which had become 
Insufferable. 

EFFORTS TO AVERT WAR. 

Still animated by the hope of a peaceful 
solution and obeying the dictates of duty, 
no effort was relaxed to bring about a 
speedy ending of the Cuban struggle. Ne- 
gotlatlons to this object continued actively 
with thie government of Spain, looking to 
the immediate conclusion of a six months 
armistice in Cuba with a yiew to effecting 
the recognition of her people's right to in- 
dependence. Besides this, the instant revo. 
cation of the order of reconcentration was 
asked, so that the sufferers, returning to 
their homes and aided by united American 
and Spanish effort, might be put in a way 
to support themselves and by orderly re- 
sumption of the well-nigh destroyed pro- 
ductive energies of the island contribute to 
the restoration of its tranquillity and well 
being. 

Negotiations continued for some little 
time at Madrid, resulting in offers by the 
Spanish government which could not but be 
regarded as inadequate. It was proposed to 
confide the preparation of peace to the 
insular parliament, yet to be convened un- 
der the autonomous decrees of November, 
1897, but without impairment in any wise of 
the constitutional powers of the Madrid 
government, which, to that end, would 
grant an armistice, if solicited by the in- 
surgents, for such time as the general In 
chief might see fit to fix. 

How and with what scope of discretionary 
powers the insular parliament was expected 
to set about the "preparation" of peace did 
not appear. If it were to be by negotiation 
with the insurgents, the issue seemed to 
rest on the one side with a body chosen by 
a fraction of the electors in the districts 
under Spanish control, and on the other 
with the insurgent population holding the 
interior country, unrepresented in the so- 
called parliament, and defiant at the sug- 
gestion of suing for peace. 

Grieved and disappointed at this barren 
outcome of my sincere endeavors to reach 
a practicable solution, I felt it my duty to 
remit the whole question to the congress. 
In the message of April 1, 1898, I announced 
that with this last overture in the direction 
of immediate peace in Cuba, and its disap- 
pointing reception by Spain, the effort of 
the executive was brought to an end. 

1 again reviewed the alternative course 
of action which I had proposed, concluding 
that the only one consonant with interna- 
tional policy and compatible with our firm- 
set historical tradifons was intervention as 
a neutral to stop the war and check thf 
hopeless sacrifice of life, even though that 
resort involved "hostile constraint upon 
both the parties to the contest, as well to 
enforce a truce as to guide the eventual 
settlement." 

The grounds justifying that step were: 
The Interests of humanity, the duty to pro-* 
tect life and property of our citizens in 
Cuba, the right to check injury to our com- 
merce and people through the devastation 
of the island, and, most important, the 
need of removing at once and forever the 
constant menace and the burdens entailed 
upon our government by the uncertainties 
and perils of the situation caused by the 
unendurable disturbance in Cuba. I saidx 

"The long trial has proved that the ob- 



ject for which Spain has waged the war 
cannot be attained. The fire of insurrection 
may flame or may smolder with varying 
seasons, but it has not been, and it is plain 
that it cannot be. extinguished by present 
methods. The only hope of relief and re- 
pose from a condition which can no longei 
be endured is the enforced pacification ol 
Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the 
name of civilization, in behalf of endan- 
gered American interests, which give ue 
the right and the duty to speak, the exist- 
ing war in Cuba must stop. 

In view of all this the congress was asked 
to authorize and empower the president to 
take measures to secure a full and final 
termination of hostilities between Spain 
and the people of Cuba and to secure in the 
Island the establishment of a stable gor- 
ernment, capable of maintaining order and 
observing its international obligations, in- 
suring peace and tranquillity and the se 
curlty of Its citizens as well as our own, 
and for the accomplishment of those ends 
to use the military and naval forces of the 
United States as might be necessary, with 
added authority to continue generous relief 
to the starving people of Cuba. ^ 

DECISIVE ACTION BY CONUKESS. 

The response of the congress, after nine 
days of earnest deliberation, during which 
the almost unanimous sentiment of youi 
body was developed on every point save as 
to the expediency of coupling the proposed 
action with a formal recognition of the re- 
public of Cuba as the true and lawful gov- 
ernment of that Island— a proposition which 
failed of adoption— the congress, after con- 
ference, on the 19th of April, by a vote of 
42 to 35 in the senate and 311 to 6 in the 
house of representatives, passed the memo- 
rable joint resolution, declaring: 

"1. That the people of the island of Cuba 
are, and of right ought to be, free and in 
dependent. 

"2. That it is the duty of the United 
States to demand, and the government ol 
the United States does hereby demand, that 
the government of Spain at once relinquish 
its authority and government in the island 
of Cuba and withdraw its land and navai 
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. 

"3. That the president of the United 
States be and he hereby is directed and em- 
powered to use the entire land and navai 
forces of the United States, and to call 
Into the actual service of the United States 
the militia of the several states to such ex- 
tent as may be necessary to carry these 
resolutions into effect. 

"4. That the United States hereby dis- 
claims any disposition or Intention to ex 
ercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control 
over said island, except for the pacification 
thereof, and asserts its determination, when 
that is accomplished, to leave the govern- 
ment and control of the island to its peo- 
ple." 

This resolution was approved by the ex 
ecutive on the next day, April 20. A copj 
was at once communicated to the Spanish 
minister at this capital, who forthwith an- 
nounced that his continuance in Washington 
had thereby become impossible, and asked 
for his passports, which were given him. 
He thereupon withdrew from Washington, 
leaving the protection of Spanish interests 
In the United States to the French am- 
bassador and the Austro-Hungarlan min- 
ister. , ^, ^ 

Simultaneously with its communication to 



MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT. 



32» 



tbe Spanish minister, Gen. Woodford, tbe 
American minister at Madrid, was tel«« 
grapbed confirmation of the text of the 
Joint resolution, and directed to communi- 
cate it to the government of Spain, with 
the formal demand that It at once relin- 
quish its authority and government in the 
Island of Cuba and withdraw its forces 
therefrom, coupling this demand with an- 
nouncements of the intentions of this goy« 
ernment as to the future of the island, in 
conformity with the fourth clause of the 
resolution, and giving Spain until noon ol 
April 23 to reply. 

The demand, although, as above shown, 
officially made known to the Spanish envoy 
here, was not delivered at Madrid. Aftei 
the instruction reached Gen. Woodford on 
the morning of April 21, but before he 
could present it, the Spanish minister ol 
state notified him that upon the president's 
approval of the Joint resolution tne Madrid 
government, regarding the act as "equiv- 
alent to an evident declaration of war,'- 
had ordered its minister in Washington to 
withdraw, thereby breaking off diplomatio 
relations between the two countries and 
ceasing all official communication between 
their respective representatives. Gen. 
Woodford thereupon demanded his passports 
and quitted Madrid tbe same day. 

FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR. 

Spain having thus denied the demand of 
the United ij^ates and initiated Ihat com- 
plete form of rupture of relations which 
attends § state of war, the executive pow- 
ers authorized by tbe resolution were at 
once used by me to meet th^ enlarged con- 
tingency of actual war between Spain and 
the United States. 

On April 22 I proclaimed a blockade of the 
northern coast of Cuba, includlEg ports ou 
said coast between Cardenas and Bahia 
Honda, and the port of Cienfuegos on tbe 
south coast of Cuba, and on the 23d I called 
for volunteers to execute the purpose of the 
resolution. 

By my message of April 25 the congress 
was informed of th3 situation, and I recom- 
mended formal declaration of the existence 
of a state of war between the United States 
and Spain. The congress accordingly vot d 
on the same day the act approved April 2b, 
1898, declaring the existence of such war. 
from and Including the 21st day of April, 
and re-enacted the provision of the resolu- 
tion of April 20, directing the president to 
use all the armed forces of the nation to 
carry that act into effect. 

Due notification of the existence of wai 
as aforesaid was given April 25 by tele- 
graph to all the governments with which 
the United States maintain relations, in 
order that their neutrality might be assured 
during the war. 

The various governments responded with 
proclamations of neutrality, each after its 
own methods. It is not among the least 
gratifying incidents of tbe struggle that the 
obligations of neutrality were Impartially 
discharged by all, often under delicate and 
difficult circumstances. 

In further fulfillment of International 
duty, I issued April 26 a proclamation an- 
nouncing the treatment proposed to be 
accorded to vessels and their cargoes as to 
blockades, contraband, the exercise of the 
right of subjects and the immunity of neu- 
tral flags and neutral goods under the 
enemy's flag. A similar proclamation was 
made by the Spanish government. In the 



conduct of hostilities the rules of the dec- 
laration of Paris, including abstention from 
resort to privateering, have accordingij 
been observed by both Delllgerents, although 
nf Ither was a party to that declaration. 

RECRUITING OF ARMY AND NAVY. 

Our country thus, after an Interval of halt 
a century of peace with all nations, found 
itself engaged in deadly conflict with a 
foreign enemy. Every nerve was strainea 
to meet the emergency. 

The response to the initial call for 125,000 
volunteers was instant and complete, as 
was also the result of the second call ol 
May 25 for 75,000 additional volunteers. Tbe 
ranks of the regular army were increased to 
the limits provided by the act of April 26. 

The enlisted force of the navy on the 15th 
of August, when it reached its maximum, 
numbered 24,123 men and apprenttces. Out 
hundred and three vessels were added to the 
navy by purchase, on? was presented to the 
government, one leased and the four vessels 
of the International Navigation company, 
the St. Paul, St. Louis, New York ana 
Paris, were chartered. In addition to these 
the revenue cutters and lighthouse tenders 
were turned over to the navy department 
and became temporarily a part of the auxil- 
iary navy. 

The maximum effective fighting force ol 
the navy during the war, separated into 
classes, was as follows: 

Regular— Four battleships of the first 
class, one battleship of tne second class, 
two armored cruisers, six coast defense 
monitors, one armored ram, twelve pro- 
tected cruisers, three unprotected cruisers, 
eigbteen gunboats, one dynamite cruiser, 
eleven torpedo boats, fourteen old vessels 
of the old navy. Including monitors. 

Auxiliary— Sixteen auxiliary cruisers, 
twenty-eight converted yachts, twenty 
seven converted tugs, nineteen converteo 
colliers, fifteen revenue cutters, four light 
house tenders and nineteen miscellaneou» 
vessels. 

Much alarm was felt along our entire At- 
lantic seaboard lest some attack might be 
made by the enemy. Every precaution was 
taken to prevent possible injury to oui 
great cities lying along the coast. Tempo- 
rary garrisons were provided, drawn from 
the state militia. Infantry and light bat- 
teries were drawn from the volunteer force. 
About 12,000 troops were thus employed. 
The coast signal service was established foi 
observing the approach of an enemy's ships 
to the coast of the United States, and the 
life-saving and lighthouse pervlce<^ co-oper- 
ated, which enabled the navy department to 
have all portions of the Atlantic coast, 
from Maine to Texas, under observation. 

The auxiliary navy was created under the 
authority of congress, and was officered and 
manned bv the naval militia of the several 
states. This organization patrolled the 
coast and performed the duty of a second 
arm of defense. 

Under the direction of the chief of en- 
gineers submarine mines were placed at the 
most exposed points. Before the outbreak 
of the war permanent mining casements 
and cable galleries had been constructed at 
all important harbors. Most of the torpedo 
material was not to be found in the market 
and had to be specially manufactured. Un- 
der date of April 19 district officers were 
directed to take all preliminary measures, 
short of the actual attaching of the loaded 



324 



CHICAGO DAILY NE^S ALMANAC FOR 1809. 



mines to the cables, and on April 22 tele- 
graphic orders were issaed to place the 
loaded mines in position. 

The aggregate number of mines placed 
was 1,635 at the principal harbors from 
Maine to California. Preparations were also 
made for the planting of mines at certain 
other harbors, but owing to the early de. 
struction of the Spanish fleet these mines 
were not placed. 

The signal corps was promptly organized 
and performed service of most difllcnlt and 
important character. Its operations during 
the war covered tlie electrical connection of 
all coast fortifications and the establish* 
ment of telephonic and telegraphic facili- 
ties for the camps at Manila, Santiago ana 
In Puerto Rico. 

There were constructed 300 miles of line 
at ten great camps, thus facilitating mili- 
tary movements from those points in a 
manner heretofore unknown in military ad- 
ministration. Field telegraph lines were 
established and maintained under the 
enemy's fire at Manila, and later the Ma- 
nila-Hongkong cable was reopened. It. 
Puerto Rico cable communications were 
opened over a discontinued route, and on 
land the headquarters of the commanding 
officer were kept in telegraphic or telephonic 
communication with the division command- 
ers of four different lines of operation. 

There was placed In Cnban waters a com- 
pletely outfitted cable ship, with war cables 
and cable gear suitable both for the destruc- 
tion of communications belonging to the 
enemy and the establishment of our own. 
Two ocean cables were destroyed under the 
enemy's batteries at Santiago. The day 
previous to the landing of Gen. Shafter'p 
corps at Caimanera, within twenty miles of 
the landing place, cable communications 
were established and cable stations openea, 
giving direct communication with the gov* 
ernment at Washington. This service was 
invaluable to the executive in directing the 
operations of the army and navy. 

With a total force of over 1,300 the loss 
was by disease and field, ofllcers and men 
included, only five. 

THE BOND ISSUE. 

The national defense under the |50.000,OOC 
fund was expended in large part by the 
army and navy, and the objects for which It 
was used are fully shown in the reports of 
the several secretaries. It was a most 
timely appropriation, enabling the govern- 
ment to strengthen its defense and make 
preparations greatly needed In case of war. 

This fund being Inadequate to the require* 
ments of equipment and for the conduct ol 
the war, the patriotism of the congress pro- 
vided the means In the war-revenue act of 
June 13 by authorizing a 3 per cent popular 
loan, not to exceed $400,000,000. and by levy. 
Ing additional Imposts and taxes. Of the 
authorized loan, $200,000,000 was offered and 
promptly taken, the subscriptions so far ex- 
ceeding the call as to cover it many times 
over, while, preference being given to the 
smaller bids, no single allotment exceeded 
$5,000. 

This was a most encouraging and signifi- 
cant result, showing the vast resources of 
the nation and the determination of the 
people to uphold their country's honor. 

DEWEY'S VICTORY AT MANILA. 

It is not within the province of this mes- 
sage to narrate the history of the extraor. 



dlnary war that followed the Spanish d^- 
laratlon of April 21, but a brief recital of 
its more salient features is appropriate.. 

The first encounter of the war in point el 
date took place April 27, when a detach- 
ment of the blockading squadron made a 
reconnaissance in force at Matansas, shelled 
the harbor forts and demolished several nev 
works in construction. 

The next engagement was destined to 
mark a memorable epoch in maritime war- 
fare. The Pacific fleet, under Commodore 
Dewey, had lain for some weeks at Hong- 
kong. Upon the colonial proclamation of 
neutrality being issued and the customary 
twenty-four hours' notice being given, it 
repaired to MIrs bay, near Hongkong, 
whence it proceeded tcf the Philippine Uh 
lands under telegraphed orders to capture 
or destroy the formidable Spanish fleet then 
assembled at Manila. 

At daybreak on the 1st of May the Amer* 
lean force entered Manila bay, and after a 
few hours* engagement eCTected the total 
destruction of the Spanish fleet, consisting 
of ten warships and a transport, besides 
capturing the naval station and forts at 
Cavite, thus annihilating the Spanish naval 
power in the Pacific ocean and completely 
controlling the bay of Manila, with the 
ability to take the city at will. Not a life 
was lost on our ships, the wounded num.. 
bering only seven, while not a vessel was 
materially injured. 

For this gallant achievemenUtbe congress, 
upon my recommendation, fitly bestowed 
upon the actors preferment and si^bstantlal 
reward. 

The effect of this remarkable victory upon 
the spirit of our people and upon the for- 
tunes of the war was instant. A prestige 
of invincibility thereby attached to our 
arms which continued throughout the strug- 
gle. Re-enforcements were hurried to Ma- 
nila under the cdmmand of MaJ.-Gea. Mer- 
ritt and firmly established within sight of 
the capital, which lay helpless before our 
guns. 

On the 7th day of May the government 
was advised officially of the victory at 
Manila, and at once inquired of the com- 
mander of our fleet what troops would be 
required. The information was received on 
the 15th dav of May, and the first army ex- 
pedltion sailed May 25 and arrived off Ma- 
nila June 30. Other expeditions soon fol- 
lowed, the total force consisting of 641 offi- 
cers and 15,058 men. 

Only reluctance to cause needless loss of 
life and property prevented the eArly stormo 
ing and capture of the city, and therewith 
the absolute military occupancy of the 
whole group. The insurgents meanwhile 
had resumed the active hostilities suspended 
by the uncompleted truce of December, 1897. 
Their forces invested Manila from the 
northern and eastern sides, but were con- 
strained by Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer- 
rltt from attempting an assault. 

It was fitting that whatever was to be 
done in the way of decisive operations in 
that quarter should be accomplished by the 
strong arm of the United States alone. 
Obeying the stern precept of war, which 
enjoins the overcoming of the adversary and 
the extinction of his power wherever assail- 
able as the speedy and sure means to win 
a peace, divided victoi^ was not permissi- 
ble, for no partition of the rights and re. 
sponslbilltles attending the enforcement ot 
a Just and advantageous peace coold be 
thought of.

CAMPAIGN IN CUBA REVIEWED. 

Following the comprehensiye scheme of 
general attack, powerful forces were as 
sembled at yarious points on our coast to 
invade Cuba and Puerto Rico. Meanwhile* 
nayal demonstrations were made at seyeral 
exposed points. On May 11 the cruiser Wll- 
mington and torpedo boat Wlnslow were un- 
successful in an attempt to silence the bat- 
teries at Cardenas and Matanzas, Worth 
Bagley and four seamen falling. 

These grievous fatalities were, strangel^^ 
enough, among the very few which occurred 
during our naval operations in this extraor- 
dinary conflict. 

Meanwhile the Spanish naval preparations 
had been pushed with great vigor. A pow- 
erful squadron under Admiral Oervera, 
which had assembled at the Cape Verde 
islands before the outbreak of hostilities, 
had crossed the ocean, and by its erratic 
movements in the Caribbean sea delayed our 
military operations while baffling the pur- 
suit of our fleets. For a time fears were 
felt lest the Oregon and Marietta, then 
nearing home after their long voyage ^om 
San Francisco of over 15,000 miles, might be 
surprised by Admiral Cervera's fleet, but 
their fortunate arrival dispelled these ap« 
prehensions and lent much-needed re-en 
forcement. 

HEROISM OF HOBSON. 

Not until Admiral Cervera took refuge In 
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba about May 
9 was it practicable to plan a systematic 
military attack upon the AntlUean posses* 
sions of Spain. Several demonstrations oc- 
curred on the coasts of Cuba and Puerto 
Rico in preparation for the larger event. 
On May 13 the North Atlantic squadron 
shelled San Juan de Puerto Rico. On May 30 
Commodore Schley's squadron bombarded 
the forts guarding the mouth of Santiago 
harbor. Neither attack had any material 
result. It was evident that well-ordered 
land operations were Indispensable to 
achieve a decisive advantage. 

The next act in the war thrilled not alone 
the hearts of our countrymen but the world 
by its exceptional heroism. 

On the night of June 3 Lieut. Hobson. 
aided by seven devoted volunteers, blocked 
the narrow outlet from Santiago harbor bj 
sinking the collier Merrimac in the channel, 
under a fierce Are from the shore batteries, 
escaping with their lives as by a miracle, 
but falling into the hands of the Spaniards. 

It is a most gratifying incident of the war 
that the- bravery of this little band of 
heroes was cordially appreciated by the 
Spaniards, who sent a flag of truce to notify 
Admiral Sampson of their safety and to 
compliment them upon their daring aci. 
They were subsequently exchanged July 7. 

ADVANCE ON SANTIAGO. 

By June 7 the cutting of the last Cuban 
cable isolated the island. Thereafter the 
Invasion was vigorously prosecuted. On 
June 10, under a heavy protecting fire, a 
landing of 600 marines from the Oregon* 
Marblehead and Yankee was effected in 
Guantanamo bay, where it had been deter- 
mined to establish a naval station. This 
Important and essential port was taken 
from the enemy after severe fighting by the 
marines, who were the first organized force 
of the United States to land in Cuba. The 
position so won was held despite desperate 
attempts to dislodge our forces. 

By June 16 additional forces were landed 



and strongly intrenched. On June 22 the 
advance of the invading army under MaJ.- 
Gen. Shafter landed at Baiquirl, about tit, 
teen miles east x>f Santiago. This was ac 
complished under great difficulties, but with 
marvelous dispatch. On June 23 the move- 
ment against Santiago was begun. 

On the 24th the first serious engagement 
took place, in which the 1st and 10th <;aT^ 
airy and the 1st United States volunteei 
cavalry. Gen. )i:oung's brigade of Gen. 
Wheeler's division, participated, losing 
heavily. By nightfall, however, ground 
within five miles of Santiagp was won. 

The advantage was steadily increased. 
On July 1 a severe battle took place, oui 
forces gaining the outworks of Santiago. 
On the 2d El Caney and San Juan were 
taken after a desperate charge, and the 
investment of the city wag completed. The 
navy co-operated by shelling the town and 
the coast forts. 

DESTRUCTION OF CERVERA'S FLEET. 

On the day following this brilliant 
achievement of our land forces, July 3, oc- 
curred the decisive naval combat of the 
war. The Spanish fleet, attempting to leave 
the harbor, was met by the American 
squadron under command of Commodore 
Sampson. In less than three hours all the 
Spanish ships were destroyed, the two tor- 
pedo boats being sunk, and the Maria 
Teresa, Almirante Oquendo, ViBcaya and 
Cristobal Colon driven ashore. The Spanish 
admiral and over 1,300 men were taken pris- 
oners, while the enemy's loss of life was 
deplorably large, some 600 perishing. 

On our side but one man was killed, on 
the Brooklyn, and one man seriously 
wounded. Although our ships were repeat- 
edly struck, not one was seriously injured. 

Where all so conspicuously distinguished 
themselves, from the commanders to the 
gunners, and the unnamed heroes in the boil- 
er rooms, each and all contributing toward 
the achievement of this astounding victory, 
for which neither ancient nor modern his- 
tory affords a parallel in the completeness 
of the event and the marvelous dispropor- 
tion of casualties, it would be invidious to 
single out any for especial honor. 

Deserved promotion has rewarded the 
more conspicuous actors— the nation's pro- 
foundest gratitude is due to all of those 
brave men who by their skill and devotion 
in a few short hours crushed the sea power 
of Spain and wrought a triumph whose de- 
cisiveness and far-reaching consequences 
can scarcely be measured. Nor can we be 
unmindful of the achievements of our 
builders, mechanics and artisans for their 
skill In the construction of our warships. 

With the catastrophe of Santiago Spain's 
efforts upon the ocean virtually ceased. A 
spasmodic effort toward the end of June to 
send her Mediterranean fleet under Admiral 
Camara to relieve Manila was abandonea, 
the expeditioa being recalled after it had 
passed through the Suez canal. 

The capitulation of Santiago "foUowea. 
The city was closely besieged by land, 
while the entrance of our ships into the 
harbor cut off all relief on that side. After 
a truce to allow of the removal of non-com. 
batants protracted negotiations continued 
from July 3 until July 15, when, undei 
menace of immediate assault, the prelim- 
inaries of surrender were agreed upon. On 
the 17th Gen. Shafter occupied the city. 

The capitulation embraced the entire east- 
ern end of Cuba. The number of Spanish 



326 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899. 



soldiers surrendered was 22,000, all of wbom 
were subsequently conyeyed to Spain at tHe 
charge of the United States. 

The story of this successful campaigrn is 
told in the report of the secretary of war, 
which will be laid before you. The indi- 
vidual valor of officers and soldiers was 
never more strikingly shown than in the 
several engagements leading to the sur- 
render of Santiago, while the prompt move- 
ments and successive victories won instant 
and universal applause. 

To those who gained this complete tri- 
umph, which established the ascendency of 
the United States upon land as the fight off 
Santiago had fixed our supremacy on the 
seas, the earnest and lasting gratitude of 
the nation is unsparingly due. 

Nor should we aloue remember the gal- 
lantry of the living; the dead claim oui 
tears, and our losse) by battle and disease 
must cloud any exultation at the result 
and teach us to weigh the awful cost oi 
war, however rightful the cause or signal 
the victory. 

OCCUPATION OF PUEBTO RICO. 

With the fall of Santiago, the occupation 
of Puerto Rico became tne next strategic 
necessity. Gen. Miles had previously been 
is'^lgned to organize the expedition for that 
ourpose. Fortunately he was already at 
•Santiago, where he had arrived on the Uth 
>f July with re-enf(M*cements for Gen. Sbat. 
cer's army. 

With these troops, consisting of 3,415 in- 
fantry and artillery, two companies of en- 
i^ineers and one company of the signal 
>orps, Gen. Miles left Guantanamo on Jul) 
21, having nine transports convoyed by the 
Heet under Capt. Higginson, with the Mas- 
sachusetts (fiagship), Dixie, Gloucester, Co- 
lumbia and Yale, the two latter carrying 
troops. The expedition landed at Guanica 
July 25, which port was entered with little 
opposition. Here the fleet was Joined by 
the Annapolis and the Wasp, while the 
Puritan and Amphitrite went to San Juan 
and joined the New Orleans, which was en- 
gaged in blockading that port. 

The major-general commanding was sub- 
sequently re-enforced by Gen. Schwan's 
brigade of the 3d army corps, by Gen. Wil- 
son with a part of his division, and also 
by Gen. Brooke with a part of his corps, 
numbering in all 16,973 officers and men. On 
July 27 he entered Ponce, one of the most 
Important ports in the island, from which 
he thereafter directed operations for the 
capture of the island. 

With the exception of encounters with the 
enemy at Guayama, Hormigueres, Coamo 
and Yauco, and an attack on a force landed 
at Gape San Juan, there was no serious re- 
sistance. The campaign was prosecuted 
with great vigor, and by the 12th of August 
much of the island was in our possession, 
and the acquisition of the remainder was 
)nly a matter of a short time. 

At most of the points in the Island our 
troops 'were enthusiastically welcomed. 
Protestations of loyalty to the flag and 
gratitude for delivery from Spanish rule 
met our commanders at every stage. 

As a potent influence toward peace the 
outcome of the Puerto Rican expedition was 
of great consequence, and generous com- 
mendation is due to those who participated 
in it. 

LAST BATTLE OF THE WAR. 

The last scene of the war was enacted at 
Manila, its starting place. On Aug. 15, 



after a brief assault upon the works by the 
land forces, in which tne squadron assisted, 
the capital surrendered unconditionally. 
The casualties were comparatively few. 

By this the conquest of the Philippine 
Islands, virtually accomplished when the 
Spanish eapacitv for resistance was de- 
stroyed by Admiral Dewey's victory of the 
1st of May, was foimally sealed. 

To Gen. Merrltt, his officers and men, for 
their uncomplaining and devoted services, 
for their gallantry in action, the nation is 
sincerely grateful. Their long voyage wa^ 
made with singular success, and the soldier- 
ly conduct of the men, most of whom were 
without previous experience in the military 
service, deserves unmeasured praise. 

LOSSES OF ARMY AND NAVY. 

The total casualties in killed and woundea 
during the war were as follows: 

iiBMT. 

Officers kiUed 23 

Enlisted men killed 25*1 



Total 280

Total 1,677 

NAVY. 

Killed 17 

Wounded ti

It will be observed that while our navy 
was engaged in two great battles and in 
numerous perilous undertakings in the 
blockades and bombardment, and more than 
BO.OOO of our troops were transi)orted to dis- 
tant lands and engaged in assault and siege 
and battle and many skirmishes in unfa- 
miliar territory, we lost in both arms ol 
the service a total of 1,948 killed and 
wounded; and in the entire campaign by 
land and sea we did not lose a gun or a 
flag or a transport or a ship, and with the 
exception of the crew of tl)e Merrimac not 
a soldier or sailor was taken prisoner. 

On Aug. 7, forty-six davs from the date of 
the landing of Gen. Shafter's army in Cuba 
and twenty-one davs from the surrender oi 
Santiago, the United States troops com- 
menced embarkation for home, and our en- 
tire force was returned to the United States 
as early as Aug. 24. They were absent from 
the United States only two months. 

It is fitting that I should bear testimony 
to the patriotism and devotion of that large 
portion of our army which, although eagei 
to be ordered to the post of greatest ex- 
posure, fortunately was not required out- 
side of the United States. They did theix 
whole duty, and, like their comrades at the 
front, have earned the gratitude of the 
nation. 

In like manner, the officers and men of 
the army and of the navy who remained in 
their departments and stations of the navy, 
performing most important duties connected 
with the war, and whose requests for a» 
signment in the field and at sea I was com- 
pelled to refuse because their services were 
indispensable here, are entitled to the high- 
est commendation. It is my regret that 
there seems to be no provision for theii 
suitable recognition. 

WORK OF THE RED CROSS. 
In this connection it is a pleasure for me 
to mention in terms of cordial appreciatlOD 




MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.

the timely and useful work of the American 
National Red Gross, both In relief measures 
preparatory to the campaign, in sanitarj' 
assistance at several of the camps of as> 
semblage, and later, under the able and ex. 
perlenced leadership of the president of the 
society. Miss Glara Barton, on the fields of 
battle and in the hospitals at the front in 
Cuba. Working in conjunction with the 
goyernmental authorities and under their 
sanction and approval, and with the enthu- 
siastic cooperation of many patriotic wonien 
and societies in the various states, the Kea 
Cross has fully maintained its already high 
reputation for intense earnestness and abil- 
ity to exercise the noble purposes of its in- 
ternational organization, thus Justifying the 
confidence and support which It has received 
at the hands of the American people. 

To the jnembers and oflScers of this society 
and all who aided them in their philan- 
thropic work the sincere and lasting gratis 
tude of the soldiers and the public is due 
and is freely accorded. 

In tracing these events we are constantly 
reminded of our obligations to the Divine 
Master for His watchful care over us and 
His safe guidance, for which the nation 
makes reverent acknowledgment and oCFerg 
humble prayer for the continuance of Uig 
favor. 

SIGNING OF THE PROTOCOIi. 

The annihilation of Admiral Cervera'e 
fleet, followed by the capitulation of San> 
tiago, having brought to the Spanish go>. 
ernment a realizing sense of the hopelesv- 
ness of continuing a struggle now becoming 
wholly unequal, it made overtures of peace 
through the French ambassador, who, with 
the assent of his government, had acted as 
the friendly representative of Spanish in- 
terests during the war. 

On the 26th of July M. Cambon presented 
a communication signed by the duke ol 
Almodovar. the Danish minister of state, 
inviting tne United States to state the 
terms upon which it would be willing .to 
make peace. 

On July 30, by a communication addressed 
to the duke of Almodovar and handed to M. 
Cambon, the terms of this government were 
announced, substantially as in the protocol 
afterward signed. 

On Aug. 10 the Spanish reply, dated Aug. 
7, was handed by M. Cambon to the secre- 
tary of state. It accepted unconditionally 
the terms Imposed as to Cuba, Puerto Rico 
and an island of the Ladrones group, but 
appeared to seek to introduce inadmissible 
reservations in regard to our demand as to 
the Philippines. 

Conceiving that discussion on this point 
could neither be practicable nor profitable, I 
directed that in order to avoid misunder- 
standing the matter should be forthwith 
closed by proposing the embodiment in a 
formal protocol of the terms on which the 
negotiations for peace were to be under- 
taken. 

The vague and Inexplicit suggestions of 
the Spanish note could not be accepted, the 
only reply being to present as a virtual 
ultimatum a draft of a protocol embodying 
the precise terms tendered to Spain in out 
note of July 30, with added stipulations of 
detail as to the appointment of commlB> 
sioners to arrange for the evacuation of thf 
Spanish Antilles. 

On Aug. 12 BI. Cambon announced his 
receipt of full power to sign the protocol 
BO submitted. Accordingly, on the after- 



noon of Aug. 12, M. Cambon, as the pleni- 
potentiary of Spain, and the secretary oi. 
state, as the plenipotentiary of the United 
States, signed a protocol providing: 

"Article 1. Spain will relinquish all claim< 
of sovereignty over and title to Cuba. 

"Art. 2. Spain will cede to the United 
States the island of Puerto Rico and otbci 
Islands now under Spanish sovereignty in 
the West Indies, and also an island in tho 
Ladrones, to be selected by the United 
States. 

"Art. 3. The United States will occupy 
and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila 
pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace 
which shall determine the control, disposl- 
tion and government of the Philippines." 

The fourth article provided for the ap- 
pointment of joint commissions on the part 
of the United States and Spain, to meet in 
Havana and San Juan, respectively, for the 

Surpose of arranging and carrying out the 
etalls of the stipulated evacuation of 
Cuba, Puerto Hlco and other Spanish islands 
in the West Indies. 

The fifth article provided for the appoint- 
ment of not more than five commissioners 
on each side, to meet at Paris not latei 
than Oct. 1 and to proceed to the negotia- 
tion and conclusion of a treaty of peace, 
subject to ratification according to the re- 
spective constitutional forms of the two 
countries. 

The sixth and last* article provided thai 
upon the signature of the protocol hos- 
tilities between the two countries should be 
suspended, and that notice to that effect 
should be given as soon as possible by each 
government to the commanders of its mili- 
tary and naval forces. 

Immediately upon the conclusion of the 
protocol I Issued a proclamation on Aug. 
12 suspending hostilities on the part of the 
United States. The necessary orders to 
that end were at once given by telegraph. 
The blockade of the ports of Cuba and San 
Juan de Puerto Rico was in like manner 
raised 

On Aug. 18 the muster-out of 100,000 vol- 
unteers, or as near that number as was 
found to be practicable, was ordered. On 
Dec. 1 101.165 otficers and men had been 
mustered out and discharged from the serv- 
ice; 9,002 more will be mustered out by the 
lOth of the month. Also a corresponding 
number of generals and general staff officers 
have been honorably discharged from th» 

The military committees to superintend 
the evacuation of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the 
adjacent islands were forthwith appointed^ 
for Cuba, Maj.-Gen. James F. Wade, Rear- 
Admiral William T. Sampson, MaJ.-Gei»» 
Matthew C. Butler; for Puerto Rico, Maj.- 
Gen. John O. Brooke, Rear-Admiral Wlnfieid 
S. Schley, Brig. -Gen. W. Gordon— who soon 
afterward met the Spanish commisslonerg 
at Havana and San Juan respectively. 

The Puerto Rican Joint commission speed- 
ily accomplished its task, and by Oct. 18 the 
evacuation of the Island was completed. 
The United States flag was raised over the

tration of its affairs has been p-ovlsionally 
intrusted to a military governor until the 
congress shall otherwise provide. 

The Cuban Joint high commission has not 
yet terminated its labors. Owing to the dlf- 
flcultles In the way of removing the largf 
numbers of Spanish troops still in Cuba, the 
evacuation cannot be completed before the 
l8t of January next.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1«90. 



Paraaant to the fifth article of the pro, 
toool, I appointed William R. Day, lately 
secretary of state; Cashman K. Davis, Wil- 
liam P. Frye and George Gray, senators ol 
the United States, and Whitelaw Reid to Ve 
peace commissioners on the part of the 
United States. 

Proceeding in due season to Paris, they 
there met on the ist ot October five com> 
missloners similarly appointed on the part 
of Spain. The negotiations have made hope, 
ful progress, so that I trust soon to be able 
to lay a definitive treaty of peace before 
the senate, with a review of the steps lead- 
ing to its signature. 

MILITARY RULE RECOMMENDED. 

I do not discuss at this time the govern, 
ment or the future of the new possessions 
which will come to us as the result of the 
war with Spain. Such discussion will be 
appropriate after the treaty of peace shall 
be ratified. In the meantime and until the 
congress has legislated otherwise it will be 
my duty to continue the military govern* 
ments which have existed since our occupa- 
tion and give the people security in life and 
property and encouragement, under a just 
and beneficent rule. 

As soon as we were in possession of Cuba 
and have pacified the Island it will be 
necessary to give aid and direction to its 
people to form a government for themselves. 
This should be undertaken at the earliest 
moment consistent with safety and assured 
success. 

It is Important that our relations with 
these people shall be of the most friendly 
character and our commercial relations 
close and reciprocal. It should be our duty 
to assist in every proper way to build up 
the waste places of the island, encourage 
the Industry of the people and assist them 
to form a government which shall be free 
and independent, thus realizing the best 
aspirations of the Cuban people. 

Spanish rule must be replaced by a just, 
benevolent and humane government, created 
by the people of Cuba, capable of perform, 
ing all international obligations, and which 
shall encourage thrift, industry and pros- 
perity and promote peace and good-will 
among all of the inhabitants, whatever may 
have been their relations in the past. 
Neither revenge nor passion should have a 
place in the new government. 

Until there is complete tranquillity in the 
island and a stable government inaugurated 
military occupation will be continued. 

RELATIONS WITH OTHER NATIONS. 

With the exception of the rupture with 
Spain, the intercourse of the United States 
with the great familv of nations has been 
marked with cordiality, and the dose of 
the eventful year finds most of the issues 
that necessarily arise in the complex rela- 
tions of sovereign states adjusted or pre- 
senting no serious obstacle to a just and 
honorable solution by amicable agreement. 

A long-unsettled dispute as to the ex- 
tended boundary between the Argentine Re- 
public and Chile, stretching along the An 
dean crests from the southern border of the 
Atacama desert to Magellan straits, nearly 
a third of the length of the South American 
continent, assumed an acute stage in the 
early part of the year, and afforded to this 
government an occasion to express the hope 
that the reeort to arbitration, already con- 
templated by existing conventions between 
the parties, might prevail despite the grave 



ditBculties arising in its application. I am 
happy to say that arrangements to this end 
have been perfected, the questions of fact 
upon which the respective commissioDere 
were unable to agree being in course <rt 
reference to her Britannic majesty for de- 
termination. 

A residual difference touching the north- 
ern boundary line across the Atacama 
desert, for which existing treaties provided 
no adequate adjustment, hids fair to be set- 
tled in like manner by a joint commission, 
upon which the United States minister at 
Buenos Ayres has been invited to serve as 
umpire la the last resort. 

I have found occasion to approach the 
Argentine government with a view of re- 
moving differences of rate charges imposed 
upon the cables of an American corporation 
in the transmission between Buenos Ayres 
and the cities of Uruguay and Brasll ol 
through messages passing from and to the 
United States. Although the matter is 
complicated by exclusive concessions by 
Uruguay and Brasll to foreign companies, 
there is strong hope that a good understand- 
ing will be reached and that the Important 
channels of commercial communication b«»> 
tween the United States and the Atlantic 
cities of South America may be freed from 
an almost prohibitory discrimination. 

In this relation I may be permitted to ez^ 
press my sense of the fitness of an inter, 
national agreement whereby the interchange 
of messages over connecting cables may be 
regulated on a fair basis of uniformity. 
The world has seen the postal system de- 
veloped from an independent and exclusive 
service into a well-ordered union, of which 
all countries found the manifold benefits. 
It would be strange were the nations not in 
time brought to realize that modem civili- 
zation, which owes so much of its progress 
to the annihilation of space by the electric 
force, demands that this all-important 
means of communication be a heritage ol 
all peoples, to be administered and r^:a- 
lated in their common behoof. 

A step in this direction was taken when 
the International convention of 1884 for the 
protection of submarine cables was signeo, 
and the day is, I trust, not far distant 
when this medium for the transmission ol 
thought from land to land may be brought 
within the domain of international concert 
as completely as is the material carriage of 
commerce and correspondence upon the face 
of the waters that divide them. 

The claim of Thomas Jefferson Page 
against Argentina, which has been pend- 
ing many years, has been adjusted. The 
sum awarded by the congress of Argentina 
was 94,242.SB. 

The sympathy of the American people has 
justly been offered to the ml^ and the peo- 
ple of Austria-Hungary by reason of the 
affliction that hais lately befallen them In 
the assassination of the empress-qneen <A 
that historic realm. 

On Sept. 10. 1897, a conflict took place at 
Lat timer. Pa., between a body of striking 
miners and the sheriff of Loaeme count; 
and his deputies. In which twenty-two 
miners were killed and forty-four wounded. 
Ten of the killed and twelve of the wounded 
were Austrian and Hungarian subjects. 
This deplorable event naturally aroosed the 
solicituae of the AustTo-Hnngarian goTem- 
ment, which, on the assumption that the 
killing and wounding lavcrfved the nnjnstl- 
fiable misuse of authority, Halmed repani~' 
tion for the sufferers. Apart troat tM

searchlDK inveBtlgation and the peremptory 
action of the authorities of Pennsylyanlti, 
the federal executive took appropriate steps 
to learn the merits of the case, In order to 
be In a position to meet the urgent com<> 
plaint of a friendly power. 

The sheriff and his deputies, haying been 
Indicted for murder, were tried and ac- 
quitted, after protracted proceedings and 
the hearing of hundreds of witnesses, on 
the arround that the killing was in the Unh 
of their official duty to uphold law and 
preserye public order in the state. A rep- 
resentative of the department of justice at- 
tended the trial and reported its course 
fully. 

With all the facts in its i)osilesslon, this 
government expects to reach a harmonious 
understanding on the subject with that of 
Austria-Hungary, notwithstanding the re< 
newed claim of the latter, after learning 
the result of the trial, for indemnity for Its 
injured subjects. 

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITIONS. 

Despite the brief time allotted for prep, 
aration, the exhibits of this country at the 
unlyersal exposition at Brussels In 1897 en- 
Joyed the singular distinction of a largei 
proportion of awards, haying regard to the 
p number and classes of articles entered, than 
those of other countries. The worth of such 
a result in making known our national ca« 
padty to supply the world's markets is 
obvious. 

Exhibitions of this international character- 
are becoming more frequent as the ex> 
changes of commercial countries grow more 
intimate and varied. Hardly a year passes 
that this government is not invited to na- 
tional participation at some important for- 
eign center, but often on too short notice to 
permit of recourse to congress for the powei 
and means to do so. My predecessors have 
suggested the advisability of providing by 
a general enactment and a standing appix». 
prlatlon for accepting such invitations and 
for representation of this country by a com. 
mission. This plan has my cordial ap< 
proval. 

I RESTRICTIONS OP TRADE. 

I I trust the Belgian restriction on the lm« 
portations of cattle from the United States, 
originally adopted as a sanitary precaution, 
will at an early date be modified so as to 
admit live cattle under due regulation of 
their slaughter after landing, i am hopex 
fnl, too, of a favorable change In the Bel- 
gian treatment of our preserved and salted 
meats. The growth of direct trade between 
the two countries, not alone for Belgian 
consumption and Belgian products, but by 
way of transit from and to other conti- 
nental states, has been both encouraging 
and heneflcial. No effort will be spared to 
enlarge its advantages by seeking the re- 
moval of needless impediments and by ar,, 
rangements for increased commercial ex- 
changes. 

The year's events in Central America de- 
serve more than passing mention. A men- 
acing rupture between Costa Rica and Mlc. 
aragoa was happily composed by the signa- 
ture of a convention between the parties, 
with the concurrence of the Guatemalan 
representative as a mediator, the act being 
netrotiated and signed on board the United 
States steamer Alert, then lying in Central 
American waters. It is believed that the 
good offices of our envoy and commander of 



that vessel contributed toward this gratify- 
ing outcome. 

CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS. 

In my last annual message the situation 
was presented with respect to the diplo- 
matic representation of this government in 
Central America created by the association 
of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, un- 
der the title of the Greater Republic ol 
Central America, and the delegation of their 
intemational functions to the diet thereof. 
WhUe the representative character of the 
diet was recognized by my predecessor and 
has been confirmed during my administra- 
tion by receiving its accredited envoy and 
granting exequaturs to consuls commis- 
sioned under its authority that recognition 
was qualified by the distinct understanding 
that the responsibility of eacn of the com- 
ponent sovereign republics toward the 
United States remained wholly unaffected. 

This proviso was needful Inasmuch as the 
compact of the three republics was at the 
outset an association whereby certain rep- 
resentative functions were delegated to a 
tripartite commission rather than a federa- 
tion possessing centralized powers of gov- 
ernment and administration. In this vienv 
of their relation and the relation of the 
United States to several republics, a change 
in the representation of this country iu 
Central America was neither recommended 
by the executive nor initiated by congress, 
thus leaving one of our envoys accredited as 
heretofore separately to two states of the 
greater republic, Nicaragua and Salvador, 
and to a third state, Costa Rica, which 
was not a party to the compact, while oui 
other envoy was similarly accredited to 
the union state of Honduras and the now 
union state of Guatemala. The result has 
been that the one has presented credentials 
only to the president of Costa Rica, the 
other having been received only by the gov- 
ernment of Guateniala. 

Subsequently the three associated repub- 
lics entered into negotiations for taking the 
steps forecast in the original compact. A 
convention of their delegates framed foi 
them a federal constitution under the name 
of the United States of Central America 
and provided for a central federal govern- 
ment and legislature. Upon ratlfleaiion b> 
the constituent states the Ist of Novembei 
last was fixed for the new system to go into 
operation. Within a few weeks thereaftei 
the plan was severely tested by revolution- 
ary movements arising, with a consequent 
demand for unity of action on the part ol 
the military power of the federal states to 
suppress them. Under this strain the new 
union seems to have been weakened through 
the withdrawal of its more important mem- 
bers. 

This government was not officially advised 
of the installation of the federation and has 
maintained an attitude of friendly expect- 
ancy, while in nowise relinqulsning the 
position held from the outset that the re- 
sponsibilities of the several states toward 
us remained unaltered by their tentative 
relations among themselves. 

THE NICARAGUA CANAL. 

The Nicaragua canal commission, under 
the chairmanship of Rear- Admiral John G. 
Walker, appointed July 24, 1897, under the 
authority of a provision in the sundry civil 
act of June 4 of that year, has nearly com- 

Eleted its labors, and the results of its ex- 
austlve inquiry into the proper route, the 
feasibility and the cost of construction of 



mm 



iip«iWi*i«p«si

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899. 



an interoceanlc canal by a Nicaraguan 
route will be laid before yoa. In the per- 
formance of Its task the commission re- 
ceived all possible courtesy and assistance 
from the governments of Nicaragua and 
Costa Rica, which thus testified tneir ap- 
preciation of the importance of giving a 
speedy and practical outcome to the great 
project that has for so many years en- 
grossed the attention of the -respective 
countries. 

As the scope of recent Inquiry embraced 
the whole subject, with .tbe aim of mak ng 
plans and surveys for a canal by the most 
convenient route, it necessarily included a 
review of the results of previous surveys 
and plans, and in particular those adopted 
by the Maritime Canal company under Its 
existing concessions from Nicaragua and 
Costa Rica, so that to this extent those 

f rants necessarily held an essential part in 
be deliberations and conclusions of the 
canal commission, as they have held and 
must needs hold in the discussion of the 
matter by congress. 

Under these circumstances, and In view 
of overtures made to the governments of 
Nicaragua and Costa Rica by other par- 
ties for a new canal concession, predi- 
cated on the assumed approaching lapse 
of the contracts of the Maritime Canal 
company with those states, I have not hesl- 
cated to express my conviction that con- 
siderations of expediency and international 
policy as between the several governments 
Interested in the construction and control 
of an interooeanlc canal by this route re- 
quire the maintenance of the status quo 
until the canal commission shall have re- 

Eorted and the United States congress shall 
ave had the -opportunity to pass finally 
upon the whole matter during the present 
session, without prejudice by reason of any 
change in the existing conditions. 

Nevertheless, it appears that the goyem- 
ment of Nicaragua, as one of its last sov- 
ereign acts before merging its powers In 
those of the newly formed United Statfs (t 
Central America, has granted an optional 
concession to another association, to bp- 
come effective on the expiration of the 
present grant. It does not appear what 
surveys nave been made or what route is 
proposed under this contingent grant, so 
that an examination of tbe feasibility of Iti 
plans is necessarily not embraced In the 
report of the canal commission. 

All these circumstances suggest the ur- 
gency of some definite action by the con- 
gress at this session if the labors of the 
past are to be utilized and the linking of 
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a prac- 
tical waterway Is to be realized. That the 
construction of such a maritime highway is 
now more than ever indispensable to that 
intimate and ready intercommunication be- 
tween our eastern and western seaboards 
demanded by the annexation of the Ha- 
waiian islands and the prospective expan- 
sion of our influence and commerce in the 
Pacific, and that our national policy now 
more imperatively than ever calls for its 
control by this government, are propositions 
which I doubt not the congress will duly 
appreciate and wisely act upon. 

A convention providing for the revival 
of the late United States and Chilean 
claims commission, and the consideration of 
claims which were duly presented to the 
late commission, but not considered be- 
cause of tbe expiration of the time limited 
for. the duration of the commission, was 
signed May 24, 1897, and has remained un- 



acted upon by the senate. . The term therein 
flxed for effecting the change or ratifica- 
tions having elapied, the convention falls, 
unless the time be extended by amendment, 
which I am endeavoring to bring about, 
with the friendly concurrence of tbe 
Chilean government, 

AMERICA'S INTERESTS IN CHINA. 

The United States has not been an in- 
different spectator of tbe extraordinary 
events transpiring in the Chinese empire, 
whereby portions of its maritime provinces 
are passing under control of various Ifinro- 
pean powers, but the prospect that tbe vast 
commerce which the energy of our citizens 
and the neceltsity of our staple productions 
for Chinese uses has built up in tbose re- 
gions may not be prejudioea througb any 
exclusive treatment by the new occupants 
has obviated the need of our country be- 
coming an actor in the scene. 

Our position among nations having a large 
Pacific coast and a constantly expanding 
direct trade with the farther orient gives 
us an equitable claim to consideration ana 
friendly treatment in this regard, and it 
will be my aim to subserve our large In- 
terests in that quarter by all means ap-^ 
proprlate to the constant policy or our gov- 
ernment. 

The territories of Kiao-Chou, of Wei- 
Hai-Wei and of Port Arthur and Talien 
Wan. leased to Germany, Great - Britain 
and Russia respectively for terms of years, 
will, it is announced, be open to Interna- 
tional commerce during such alien occupa- 
tion, and if no discriminating treatment of 
American clt:zens and their trade be found 
to exist or be hereafter developed, the de- 
sire of this government would appear to be 

In this relation, as showing the volume 
and value of our exchanges with China and 
the peculiarly favorable conditions which 
exist for their expansion in the normal 
course of trade, I refer to the communica- 
tion addressed to the speaker of the house 
of representatives by the secretary of the 
treasury on the 14th of last June, with the 
accompanying letter of the secretary of 
state, recommending an appropriation for a 
commission to study the commercial and in- 
dustrial conditions in the Chinese empire 
and report as to the opportunities for and 
obstacles to the enlargement of markets in 
China for the raw products and manufac- 
tures of the United States. Action was 
not taken thereon during the late session. 
I cordially urge that the recommendation 
receive at your hands the consideration 
which its importance and timeliness merit. 
Meanwhile there may be Ju^t ground for 
disquietude in view of the unrest and re- 
vival of the old sentiment of opposition and 
prejudice to alien people which pervades 
certain of the Chinese provinces. 

As in the case of the attacks npon onr 
citizens in Szechuan and at Kutfen in 
1885, the United States minister has been 
instructed to secure tbe fullest measure of 
protection, both local and imperial, for any 
menaced American interests, and to de- 
mand, in case of~ lawless injury to person 
or property, instant reparation appropriate 
to the case. 

Warships have been stationed at Tien- 
tsin for more ready observation of the dis- 
orders which have invaded even the Chi- 
nese capital, so as to be in a position to 
act should need arise, while a guard ci 
marines has been sent to Pekin to afford 
the minister the same measure of authorita-

tive protection as the representatiyes of 
otber nations have been constrained to em- 
ploy. 

DISPUTE OF ITALY AND COLOMBIA. 

Following close upon the rendition of the 
a^vard of w predeeessor as arbitrator of 
tbe claim of the Italian subject, Oerruti, 
asainst the republic of Ck>lombia, differ- 
ences arose between the parties to the arbi- 
tration in regard to the scope and extension 
of the award, of which certain articles were 
contested by Colombia, while Italy claimed 
tbeir literal fulfillment. The award baying 
been made by the president of the United 
States aa an act of friendly .consideration 
and with the sole yiew to an impartial com- 
position of the matter in dispute, I could 
not but feel concern at such a miscarriage, 
and, while unable to accept the Colombian 
theory that 1, in my official capacity, pos- 
sessed continuing function as arbitrator, 
^-ith power to interpret or revise the terms 
of the award, my best efforts were lent to 
bringing the parties to a harmonious agree- 
ment as to toe execution of its proyislons. 
A nayal demonstration by Italy resulted 
in an engagement to pay the liabilities 
claimed upon their ascertainment; but this 
apparent disposition of the controversy was 
followed by a rupture of diploniatic inter- 
course between Colombia and Italy, which 
still continues, although fortunately with- 
out acute symptoms having supervened. 
Notwithstanding this, efforts are reported to 
be continuing for the ascertainment of Co- 
lombia's contingent liability on account of 
Cerruti's debts, under the fifth article of 
the award. 

The claim of an American citizen against 
the Dominican republic for a public bridge 
over the Osama river, which has been In 
diplomatic controversy for several years, 
has been settled by expert arbitration and 
an award in favor of the claimant amount- 
ing to about $90,000. It, however, remains 
unpaid, despite urgent demands for its set- 
tlement according to the terms of the com- 
pact. 

THE PARIS EXPOSITION. 

There Is now every prospect that the par- 
ticipation of the United States in the uni- 
versal exposition to l>e held in Paris In 190O 
will be on a scale commensurate ifith thf> 
advanced position held by our products and 
industries in the world's chief marts. 

The preliminary report of Moses P. 
Hahdy, who under the act approved July 
19, 1897, was appointed special eommis- 

Isloner, with a view to securing all at- 
tainable information necessary to a full 
and complete understanding by congress In 
regard to the participation of this govern- 
ment in the Paris exposition, was laid be- 
fore you by message of Dec. 6, 1897, and 
showed the large opportunities opened to 
make known our national progress in arts, 
science and manufactures, as well as the 
urgent need of immediate and adequate 

S revision to enable due advantage thereof 
i> be taken. Mr. Handy*s death soon after- 
ward rendered it necessary for another to 
take up and complete his unfinished work, 
and on Jan. 11 last Thomas W. Cridler, 
third assistant secretary of state, was des- 
ignated to fulfill that task. His report was 
laid before vou by my message of June 14, 
1898, with the gratifjang result of awaken- 
ing renewed interest in the projected dis- 
play. 

By a provision in the sundry civil appro- 
priation act of July 1, 1898, a sum not to 



exceed $650,000 was allotted for the organ- 
ization of a commission to care for the 
proper preparation and installation of 
American exhibits and for the display of 
suitable exhibits by the several executive 
departments, particularly by the depart- 
ment of agriculture, the fish commission 
and the Smithsonian Institution, in the rep- 
resentation of the government of the United 
States, Pursuant to that enactment I ap- 
pointed Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago com- 
missioner-general, with an assistant com- 
missioner-general and secretary. Mr. Peck 
at once proceeded to Paris, where his suc- 
cess in enlarging the scope and variety of 
the United States exhibit has been most 
gratifying. 

Notwithstanding the comparatively lim- 
ited area of the exposition site— less than 
one-half that of the World's Fair at Chi- 
cago—the space assigned to the United 
States has been increased from the abso- 
lute allotment of 157,403 square feet re- 
ported, by Mr. Handy to some 202,000 square 
leet, with corresponding augmentation of 
the field for a truly characteristic repre- 
sentation of the various important branches 
of our country's development. 

Mr. Peck's report will be laid before you. 
In my Judgment its recommendations will 
call for your early consideration, especially 
as regards an increase of the appropriation 
to at least $1,000,000 in all, so that not only 
may the assigned space l>e fully taken up 
by the best possible pxhibitor in every class, 
but the preparation and installation be on 
so perfect a scale as to rank among the 
first in that unparalleled competition of ar- 
tistic and inventive production, and thus 
counterbalance the disadvantage with 
which we start as compared with other 
countries whose appropriations are on a 
more generous scale and whose preparations 
are in a state of much greater forwardness 
than our own. 

Where our artisans have the admitted ca- 

Eadty to excel, where our Inventive genius 
as initiated many of the grandest discov- 
eries of these later days of the century, and 
where the native resources of our land are 
as limitless as they are valuable to supply 
the world's needs, it is our province, as it 
should be our earnest care, to lead in the 
march of human progress and not rest con- 
tent with any secondary place. Moreover, 
if this be due to ourselves it is no less due 
to the great French nation, whose guests 
we become, and which has in so many ways 
testified Its wishes and hope that our par- 
ticipation shall befit the place the two peo- 
ples have won in the field of universal de- 
velopment. 

REMOVAL OF TRADE RESTRICTIONS. 

The commercial arrangement made with 
France on May 28, 1898, under the provi- 
sions of section 3 of the tariff act of 1897. 
went into effect on June 1, following. It 
has relieved a portion of our export trade 
from serious embarrassment. Further nego- 
tiations are now pending unlor s< motion 4 
of the same act, with a view to the in- 
crease of trade between the two countries 
to their mutual advantage. 

Negotiations with other governments, in 

f>art Interrupted by the war with Spain, are 
n progress under both sections of the tariff 
act. 1 hope to be able to announce some ot 
the results of these negotiations during the 
present session of congress. 

Negotiations to the same end with Ger- 
many have been set on foot. Meanwhile 
no effort has been relaxed to convince the

imperial goyemment of the thorougbneM of 
our Inspection of pork products xor ex- 
portation, and It Is trusted that the efficient 
administration of this measure by the de- 
partment of agriculture will be recognized 
as a guaranty of the healthfulness of the 
food staples we send abroad to countries 
where their use is large and necessary. 

I transmitted to the senate on Feb. 10 
last information touching the prohibition 
against the importation of fresh fruits from 
this country which had then recently been 
decreed by Germany on the ground of dan- 
ger of disseminating the San Jose scale in- 
sect. This precautionary measure was Jus- 
tified by Germany on the score of the dras- 
tic steps taken in several states of the 
union against the spread of the pest, the 
elaborate reports of the department of agri- 
culture being put in evidence to show the 
danger to German fruit-growing interests 
should the scale obtain a lodgment in that 
country. 

Temporary relief was afforded in the case 
of large consignments of fruit then on the 
way by inspection and admission when 
found non-infected. Later the prohibition 
was extended to dried fruits of every kind, 
but was relaxed so as to apply only to un- 
peeled fruit and fruit waste. 

As was expected, the alarm reached to 
other countries and Switaerland has adopted 
a similar inhibition. Efforts are In progress 
to induce the German and Swiss govern- 
ments to relax the prohibition in favor of 
dried fruits shown to have been cured un- 
der circumstances rendering the existence 
of animal life impossible. 

FRIENDSHIP OF GREAT BRITAIN. 

Our relations with Great Britain have con- 
tinued on the most friendly footing. As- 
senting to our request, the protection of 
Americans and their interests in Spanish 
Jurisdiction was assumed by the diplomatic 
and consular representatives of Great Brit- 
ain, who fulfilled their delicate and ardu- 
ous trust with tact and zeal, eliciting high 
oommendation. I may be allowed to make 
fitting allusion to the instance of Mr. 
Uamsden, her majesty's consul at Santiago 
de Cuba, whose untimely death after dis- 
tinguished service and untiring effort dur- 
ing the siege of that city was sincerely la- 
mented. 

In the early part of April last, pursuant 
to a request made at the instance of the 
secretary of state by the British ambas- 
sador at this capital, the Canadian govern^ 
ment granted facilities for the passage of 
four United States revenue cutters from the 
great lakes to the Atlantic coast by way of 
the Canadian canal and the St. Lawrence 
river. The vessels had reached Lake On- 
tario and were there awaiting the opening 
of navigation when war was declared be- 
tween the United States and Spain. 

Her majesty's governlnent thereupon, by 
a communication of the latter part of April, 
stated that the permission granted before 
the outbreak of hostilities would not be 
withdrawn, provided the United States 

f:overnment gave assurance that the vessels 
n question would proceed direct to a United 
States port without engaging in any hos- 
tile operation. This government promptly 
agreea to the stipulated condition, it being 
understood that the vessels would not be 
prohibited from resisting any hostile at- 

It will give me especial satisfaction if I 
shall be authorized to communicate to you 



a favorable c(mclu8ion of the pendingr n^o- 
tiations with Great Britain in respect to 
'the Dominion of Canada. It is the earnest 
wish of this government to remove all 
sources of discord and irritation in our re- 
lations with the neighboring dominion. The 
trade between the two countries is con- 
stantly increasing and it is important to 
both countries that all reasonable facilities 
should be granted for its development. 

The government of Greece strongly urges 
the onerousness of the duty here impoied 
upon the currants of that country, amount- 
ing to 100 per cent or more of their market 
value. This fruit is stated to be exclusively 
a Greek product, not coming into competi- 
tion with any domestic product. The ques- 
tion of reciprocal commercial relations 
with Greece, including the restoration of 
currants to the free liiBt, is under consid- 
eration. 

The long-standing claim of Berknd Camp- 
bell for damages for injuries sustained from 
a violent assault committed against him by 
military authorities in the island of Haiti 
has been settled by the agreement of that 
republic to pay him $10,000 In American 
gold. * Of this sum $6,000 has already been 
paid. It is hoped that other pending claims 
of American citizens against that republic 
may be amicably adjusted. 

THE AMERICAN FLAG IN HAWAII. 

Pending the consideration by the senate 
of the treaty signed June 16, 1897, by the 
plenipotentiaries of the United States and 
the republic of Hawaii, providing for the 
annexation of the islands, a Joint resolu- 
tion to accomplish the same purpose by ac- 
cepting the offered cession and incorpora- 
ting the ceded territory Into the union was 
adopted by congress and approved July 7, 
1898. I thereupon directed the United 
States steamer Philadelphia to convey Rear- 
Admiral Miller to Honolulu and intrusted 
to his hands this important legislative act. 
to be delivered to the president of the re- 
public of Hawaii, with whom the admiral 
and the United States minister were au- 
thorized to make appropriate arrangementii 
for transferring the sovereignty of the 
islands to the united States. 

This was simply but impressively accom- 

Slished on the 12th of August last by the 
ellvery of a certified copy of the resolu- 
tion to President Dole, who thereupon 
yielded up to the representative of the gov- 
ernment of the United States the sover- 
eignty and public property of the Hawaiian 
islands. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Joint reso- 
lution and in exercise of the authority 
thereby conferred upon me, I directed that 
the civil, Judicial and military powers 
theretofore exercised by the oflBcers of the 
government of the republic of Hawaii 
should continue to be exercised by those 
ofllcers until congress shall provide a gov- 
ernment for the incorporated territory, sab- 
Ject to my power to remove such officers 
and fill vacancies. The president, officers 
and troops of the republic thereui>on took 
the oath of allegiance to the United States, 
thus providing for the uninterrupted con- 
tinuance of an the administrative and mu- 
nicipal functions of the annexed territory 
until congress shall otherwise enact. 

Following the further provisions of the 
Joint resolution, I appointed the Hon. Shelbj 
M. Cullom of Illinois, John T. Morgan of 
Alabama, Robert R. Hitt of Illinois, San- 
ford B. Dole of Hawaii and Walter B.

The coronation of the young queen of the 
Netherlands was made the occasion of fit- 
ting congratulations. 

THE M'COBD CLAIM. 

The claim of Victor H. McGord against 
Peru, which for a number of years has been 
pressed by this government and has on sev- 
eral occasions attracted the attention of 
the coiigress, has been satisfactorily ad- 
justed. A protocol was signed May 17, 1898, 
whereby, the fact of liability being ad- 
mitted, the question of the amount to be 
awarded was submitted to the chief justice 
of Canada as sole arbitrator. His award 
sets the indemnity due the claimant at 
Mo,ooo. 

The government of Peru has given the 
prescribed notification of its intention to 
at>iogate the treaty of friendship, com- 
merce and navigation concluded with this 
country Aug. 31, 1887. As that treaty con- 
tains many important provisions necessary 
to the maintenance of commerce and good 
relations which could with difficulty be re- 
placed by the nomination of renewed pro- 
visions within the brief twelve months in- 
tervening before the treaty terminates. 1 
have invited suggestions by Peru as to the 
particular provisions it is desired to annul, 
(n the hope of reaching an arrangement 
tvbereby the remaining articles may be pro- 
vrisionally savjd. 

CZAR'S PEACE PROPOSALS. 

His majesty the czar having announced 
his purpose to raise the imperial Russian 
mission at this capital to the rank of an 
embassy, I iesponded, under the authority 
conferred by the act of March 3, 1893, by 
commissioning and accrediting the actual 
representative at St. Petersburg in the ca- 
pacity of ambassador extraoralnary and 
plenipotentiary. The Russian ambassador 
to this country has since presented his cre- 
dentials. 

The proposal of the czar for a general re- 
duction of the vast military establishments 
that weigh so heavily upon many peoples in 
time of peace was communicated to this 
government with an earnest invitation to 
be represented in the conference which it is 
contemplated to assemble with a view to 
discussing the means of accomplishing so 
desirable a result. His majesty was at 
ouce informed uf the cordial sympathy of 
this government with the principle in- 
volved in his exalted proposal and of the 
readiness of the Unltea States to take part 
in the conference. 

The active military force of the United 
States, as measured by our population, ter- 
ritorial area and taxable wealth, is, and 
under any conceivable conditions must con- 
tinue to be, in times of peace, so conspicu- 
ously less than that of the armed powers to 
whom the czar's appeal is especially ad- 
dressed that the question can have for us 
no practical importance save as marking an 
auspicious step toward the betterment of 
the condition of modern peoples and the 
cultivation of peace and good-will among 
them; but in this view it behooves us as a 
nation to lend countenance and aid to the 
beneficial project. 

The claims of owners of American sealing 
vessels for seizure by Russian cruisers in 
Bering sea are being pressed to a settle- 
ment. The equities of the cases justify the 
expectation that a measure of reparation 
will eventually be accorded In harmony with 
precedent and in the light of the proved 
facts. 



The recommendation made in my special 
message of April 27 last is renewed, .that] 
appropriation be made to reimborse the 
master and the owners of the Russian bark 
Hans for wrongful arrest of the master 
and detention of the vessel in Febmary. 
1896, by officers of the United States Dis- 
trict court for the southern district of 
Mississippi. The pai>ers accompanying my 
said message make out a most meritorious 
claim and justify the nrgency with which 
it has been presented by the goTemment of 
Russia. 

DEATH OF SAMOAN KING. 

Malietoa Laupepa, king of Samoa, died 
Aug. 22 last. According to article 1 of the 

general act of Berlin, ^'his successor shall 
e duly elected according to the laws and 
customs of Samoa." Arrangements having 
been agreed upon between the signatories of 
the general act for the return of Mataafa 
and the other exiled Samoan chiefs, they 
were brought from Jalult by a <}erman wai 
vessel and landed at Apia Sept. 18 last. 
Whether the death of Malietoa and the re- 
turn of his old-time rival, Mataafa, will 
add to the undesirable complications which 
the execution of the tripartite general act 
has heretofore developed remains to be 
seen. The efforts of this government will, 
as heretofore, be addressed toward a har- 
monious and exact fulfillment of the terms 
of the international engagement to which 
the United States became a party in 1889. 

The Cheek claim against Slam, after 
some five years of controversy, has been 
adjusted by arbitration, under an agree- 
ment signed July 6, 1897, an award of 
706,721 ticals (about $187,987), with release 
of the Cheek estate from mortgage claims, 
having been rendered March 81, 1898, in 
favor of the claimant by the arbitrator. 
Sir Nicholas John Hannen, British chief 
justice for China and Japan. 

An envoy from Slam has been accredited 
to this government and has presented his 
credentials. 

Immediately hpon the outbreak of the war 
with Spain the Swiss government, fultllllng 
the high mission it has deservedly assumed 
as the patron of the International Red 
Cross, proposed to the United States and 
Spain that they should severally recognize 
and carry Into execution as a modus vivendl 
during the continuance of hostilities, the 
additional articles proposed by the interna- 
tional conference of Geneva, Oct. 20, 1868, 
extending the eflFects of the existing Red 
Cross convention of 1864 to the conduct of 
naval war. Following the example set by 
France and Germany in 1870 in adopting 
such a modus vivendi, and in view of the 
accession of the United States to those ad- 
ditional articles In 1882, although the ex- 
change of ratifications thereof still re- 
mained unefTected, the Swiss proposal wa? 
promptly and cordially accept^ by ns and 
simultaneously by Spain. 

This government feels a keen satisfaction 
in having thus been enabled to testify Its 
adherence to the broadest principles of hu- 
manity even amid the clash of war, and it 
Is to be hoped that the extension of the 
Red Cross compact to hostilities by sea 
as well as on land may soon become an ac- 
complished fact through the general pro- 
mulgation of the additional naval Bed 
Cross articles by the maritime powers now 
parties to the convention of 1864. 

The important question of the claim of 
Switzerland to the perpetual cantonal alle*

glance of American citizens of Swiss origin 
baa not made hopeful pr<^res8 toward a 
delation, and controTersieB in this regard 
still continue. 

CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY. 

The newly accredited envoy of the United 
States to the Ottoman porte carries in- 
structions looking to the disposal of matters 
in controversy with Turkey for a number of 
years. He is especially charged to press for 
a Just settlement of our claims for indem- 
nity by reason of the destruction of the 
property of American missionaries resident 
in that country during the Armenian 
troubles of 1895, as well as for the recogni- 
tion of older claims of equal Justness. 

He is als6 instructed to seek an adjust- 
ment of the dispute growing out of the re> 
fusal of Turkey to recognize the acquired 
citizenship of Ottoman-born persons natural- 
ized in tne United States since 1869, with, 
out prior imperial consent; and in the same 

feneral relation he is directed to endeavor 
o bring' about a solution of the question 
which has more or less acutely existed 
since 1869 concerning the Jurisdictional 
rights of the United States in matters of 
criminal procedure and punishment under 
article 4 of the treaty of 1830. This latter 
difficulty grows out of a verbal difference, 
claimed by Turkey to be essential, between 
the original Turkish text and the promul- 
gated translation. 

After more than two years from the ap- 
pointment of a consul of this country to Er- 
seroum he has received his exequatur. 

THE VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION. 

The arbitral tribunal appointed under the 
treaty of February, 1897, between Great 
Britain and Venezuela, to determine the 
boundary line between the latter and the 
colony of British Guiana, is to convene at 
Paris during the present month. It is a 
source of much gratification to this govern- 
ment to see the friendly resort of arbitra- 
tion applied to the settlement of this con- 
troversy, not alone because of the earnest 
part we have had in bringing about the re- 
sult, but also because the two members 
named on behalf of Venezuela, Mr. Chief 
Justice Fuller and Mr. Justice Brewer, 
chosen from our highest court, appropri- 
ately • testify the continuing Interest we 
feel in the definitive adjustment of the 

?iuestion according to the strictest rules of 
ustice. The British members. Lord Her- 
schell and Sir Richard Collins, are Jurists 
of no less exalted repute, while the fifth 
member, and president of the tribunal. M, 
F. de Martens, has earned a world-wide 
reputation as an authority upon interna- 
tional laifv 

The claim of Felipe Scandella against 
Venezuela for arbitrary expulsion and in- 
Jury to his business has been adjusted by 
the revocation of the order of expulsion and 
by the payment of the sum of $16,000. 

BUREAU OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 

I have the satisfaction of being able to 
state that the bureau of American repub- 
lics, created in 1890 as the organ for pro- 
moting commercial Intercourse and frater- 
nal relations among the countries of the 
western hemisphere, has become a more ef- 
ficient instrument of the wise purposes of 
its founders and is receiving the cordial 
support of the contributing members of the 
international union which are actually rep- 
resented in its board of management. A 



commercial directory, in two volumes, con 
taining a mass of statistical matter de- 
scriptive of the industrial and commercial 
interests of the various countries, has beei: 
printed in English, Spanish, Portuguese and 
French, and a montnly bulletin published 
In these four languages and distributed ic 
the Latin- American countries, as well &f 
in the United States, has proved to be 8 
valuable medium for disseminating informa< 
tion and furthering the varied interests ol 
the international union. 

During the last year the important worb 
of collecting information of practical bene 
fit to American industries and trade througti 
the agency of the diplomatic and consulai 
officers has been steadily advanced, and ic 
order to lay such data before the public 
with the least delay the practice was begun 
in January, 1898, of issuing the commercial 
reports from daty to day as they are received 
by the department of state. It is believed 
that for promptitude as well as fullness ol 
information the service thus supplied to oui 
merchants and manufacturers will be founc 
to show sensible improvement and to merit 
the liberal support of the congress. 

CAPTURE OF PRIVATE PROPERTY. 

The experiences of the last year brin$ 
forcibly home to us a sense of tne burdenf 
and the waste of war. We desire, in com 
mon with most civilized nations, to reduce 
to the lowest possible point the damage su^ 
tained in time of war by peaceable tradi 
and commerce. It is true we may suffer ir 
such cases less than other communities. bui 
all nations are damaged more or less by th< 
state of uneasiness and apprehension int( 
which an outbreak of hostilities throws tti< 
entire commercial world. It should be ou: 
object, therefore, to minimize, so far at 
practicable, this inevitable loss and dis 
turbance. This purpose can probably h< 
best accomplished by an Internationa 
agreement to regard all private property a 
sea as exempt from capture or destructioi 
by the forces of belligerent powers. Th( 
United States government has for man; 
years advocated this humane and beneflcen 
principle, and is now in position to recom 
mend it to other powers without the im 
putation of selfish motives. I therefore sug 

fest for your consideration that the execu 
ive be authorized to correspond with th 
governments of the principal maritime povv 
ers with a view of incorporating into th 
permanent law of civillzod nations the prii 
ciple of the exemption of all private proi 
erty at sea, not contraband of war. froi 
capture or destruction by belUigerent po¥ 
ers. 

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY. 

The secretary of the treasury reports th8 
the receipts of the government from a 
sources during the fiscal year ended June 3i 
1896, including $84,761,223 received from sa] 
of Pacific railroads, amounted to $405,321,331 
and its expenditures to $443,368,582. Tbei 
was collected from customs $149,575,062 at 
from internal revenue $170,900,641. Our di 
tiable imports amounted to $324,735,479, 
decrease of $58,166,690 over the precedlr 
year, and importations free of duty amoun 
ed to $291,414,175, a decrease from the pr 
ceding year of $90,624,068. Internal reveni 
receipts exceeded those of the precedli 
year by $24,212,068. The total tax collect* 
on distilled spirits was $92,546,999, < 
manufactured tobacco $36,230,522 and on fe 
mented liquors $39,515,421. We export! 
merchandise during the year amounting 



336 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899. 



$1,231,482,330, an Increase of $180,488,774 from 
the preceding year. 

It is estimated, apon the basis of present 
revenne laws, that the receipts of the gov- 
ernment for the year ending June SO, 1899, 
will be $677,874, M7, and its expenditures 
$689,874,647, resulting in a deficiency of 
$112,000,000. 

On the Ist of December, 1898, there was 
held in the treasury gold amounting to 
$138,441,647. gold bullion amounting to $138,- 
602.646, silrer bullion amounting to $93,- 
369,260, and other forms of money amounting 
to $461,963,981. 

On the same date the amount of money of 
all kinds in circulation or not included in 
treasury holdings was $1,836,879,604, an in- 
crease for the year of $166,794,966. Esti- 
mating our population at 76,194,000 at the 
time mentioned, the per capita circulation 
was $26.09. 

The provisions made for strengthening the 
resources of the treasury in connection 
with the war have given increased confi- 
dence In the purpose and power of the gov- 
ernment to maintain the present standard 
and have established more firmly than ever 
the national credit at home and abroad. A 
marked evidence of this is found in the in- 
flow of gold to the treasury. Its net gold 
holdings^ov. 1, 1898, were $239,885,160, com- 

f>ared with $163,573,147 Nov. 1, 1897, and an 
ncrease of net cash of from $207,766,100 Nov. 
1, 1897, to $300,238,275 Nov. 1, 1898. The pres- 
ent ratio of net treasury gold to outstand- 
ing government liabilities, including United 
States treasury notes of 1890, silver certifi- 
cates, currency certificates, standard silver 
dollars and fractional silver coin, Nov. 1, 
1898, was 26.36 per cent, as compared with 
16.96 per cent Nov. 1, 1897. 

I renew so much of my recommendation 
of December, 1897, as follows: 

••That when any of the United States 
notes are presented for redemption in gold 
and are redeemed In gold such notes snail 
be kept and set apart and only paid out in 
exchange for gold. This Is an obvious duty. 
If the bolder of the United States note pre- 
fers the gold and gets it from the govern- 
ment he should not receive back from the 
government a United States note without 

?aying gold in exchange for it. The reason 
or this is made all the more apparent 
when the government issues an interest- 
bearing debt to provide gold for the re- 
demption of United States notes — a non- 
interest -bearing debt. Surely it should not 
pay them out again except on demand and 
for gold. If they are put out in any other 
way they may return again, to be followed 
by another bond issue to redeem them — 
anotlier interest-bearing debt to redeem a 
nen-interest-bearing debt." 

This recommendation was made In the 
belief that such provisions of law would in- 
sure to a greater degree the safety of the 
present standard and oetter protect our cur- 
rency from the dangers to which It is sub- 
jected from a disturbance in the general 
business conditions of the country. 

In my Judgment the present condition of 
the treasury amply Justifies the Immediate 
enactment of the legislation recommended 
one year ago. under which a portion of the 
gold holdings should be placed in a trust 
fund from which greenbacks should be re- 
deemed upon presentation, but when once 
redeemed should not thereafter be paid out 
except for gold. 

It Is not to be inferred that other legisla- 
tion relating to our currency is not re- 
quired; on the contrary, there is an obvious 



demand for It. The importance of adequate 
provisidn which will Insure to our future, a 
money standard related as our money 
standard now is to that of our commercial 
rivals is generally recognised. The com- 
panion proposition that our domestic paper 
currency snail be kept safe and yet be so 
related to the needs of our industries aad 
internal commerce as to be adequate and 
responsive to such needs is a proposition 
scarcely less important. The subject, in all 
its parts, is commended to the wise consid- 
eration of the congress. 

The annexation of Hawaii and the 
changed relations of the United States to 
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, re- 
sulting from the war, compel the prompt 
adoption of a maritime 'policy by the 
United States. There shoula be established 
a regular and frequent steamship com- 
munication, encouraged by the United 
States, under the American flag, with the 
newly acquired islands. Spain furnished to 
its colonies, at an annual cost of about 
$2,000,000, steamship lines communicating 
with a portion of the world's markets as 
well as with trade centers of the home 
government. 

The United States will not undertake te 
do less. It is our duty to furnish the people 
of Hawaii with facilities under national 
control for their export and Import trade. 
It will be conceded that the present situa- 
tion calls for legislation which shall be 
urgent, durable and liberal. 

The part which American merchant ves- 
sels and their seamen performed in the 
war with Spain demonstrates that this 
service, furnishing both pickets and the sec- 
ond line of defense, is a national necessity 
and should be encouraged in every constitu- 
tional way. 

Details and methods for the accomplish- 
ment of this purpose are discussed in tne re- 
port of the secretary of the treasury, to 
which th6 attention of the .ccmgress is re- 
spectfully invited. 

In my last annual message I recommended 
that the congress authorize the appoint- 
ment of a commission for the purpose 
of making systematic Investigations with 
reference to the cause and prevention of 
yellow fever. This matter has acquired an 
increased importance as a result of the 
military occupation of the island of Cuba 
and the commercial intercourse between 
this island and the United States which we 
have every reason to expect. The sanitary 
problems connected with our new relations 
with the island of Cuba and the acquisition 
of Puerto Rico are no less important than 
those relating to finance, commerce and ad- 
ministration. It Is my earnest desire that 
these problems may be considered by com- 

Setent experts and that everything may be 
one which the most recent advances In 
sanitary science can offer for the protec- 
tion of the health of our soldiers in these 
islands and of our citizens who are ex- 

ftosed to the dangers of infection from the 
mportation of yellow fever. I therefore re- 
new my recoihmendation that the authority 
of the congress may be given and a suitable 
appropriation made to provide for a com- 
mission of experts to be appointed ' for thB 
purpose indicated.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1890. 



A proper regard for the safety, comfort 
and convenience of the oflScers and em- 

rtloyea would Justify the expenditure of a 
iberal sum of money in the erection of a 
new building of commodious proportions 
and handsome appearance upon the very 
advantageous site already secured for that 

f)uri)ose, including the ground occupied by 
he present structure and adjoining vacant 
property, comprising in all a frontage of 201 
feet In Pennsylvania avenue and a depth 
of 136 feet. 

In this connection I may likewise refer to 
the inadequate accommodations provided 
for the Supreme court In the capitol, and 
suggest the wisdom of making provision 
for the erection of a separate building for 
the court and its oflflces and library upon 
available ground near the capitol. 
ADVANCE OF THE POSTAL SERVICE. 

The postal service of the country ad- 
vances with extraordinary growth, within 
twenty years both the revenues and the ex- 
penditures of the postofflce department have 
multiplied three- fold. In the last ten years 
they have nearly doubled. Our postal busi- 
ness grows much more rapidly than our 
population. It now involves an expenditure 
of 1100,000.000 a year, numbers 73,000 post- 
offices and enrolls 200,000 employes. This 
remarkable extension of a service which is 
an accurate Index of the public conditions 
presents gratifying evidence of the ad- 
vancement of education, of the increase of 
communication and business activity and of 
the improvement of mail facilities leading 
to their constantly augmenting use. 

The war with 2Spaln laid new and excep- 
tional labors on tne postofflce department. 
The mustering of the military and naval 
forces of the United istates required special 
mail arrangements for every camp and 
every campaign. The communication be- 
tween homo and camp was naturally eager 
and expectant. In some of the larger 
places of rendezvous as many as 50,d00 let- 
ters a day required handling. This neces- 
sity was met by the prompt detail and dis- 
ftatch of experienced men from the estab- 
ished force and by directing all the in- 
stnimentalities of the railway mail and 
postofflce service so far as necessary to this 
new need. Congress passed an act empow- 
ering the postmaster-general to establish 
offices or branches at every military camp 
or station, and under this authority the 
postal machinery was speedily put Into ef- 
fective operation. 

Under the same authority, when our 
forces moved upon Cuba, Puerto Rico and 
the Philippines, they were attended and 
followed by the postal service. Though the 
act of congress authorized the appointment 
of postmasters where necessary, it was 
early determined that the public interests 
would be best subserved not by new desig- 
nations, but by the detail of experienced 
men familiar with every branch of the 
service, and this policy was steadily fol- 
lowed. When the territory which was the 
theater of conflict came Into our possession 
it became necessary to re-establish mail fa- 
cilities for the resident population, as well 
as to provide them for our forces of occu- 
pation, and the former requirement was 
met through the extension and application 
of the latter obligation. I gave the requi- 
site authority, and the same general prin- 
ciple was applied to this as to other 
branches of civil administration under mili- 
tary occupation. The details are more par- 
ticularly given In the report of the post- 
master-general, and while the work Is only 
hist begun it is pleasing to be able to say 



that the service in the territory which has 
come under our control is already material-; 
ly Improved. ' 

NAVAL PLANS INDORSED. 
The following recommendations of the sec- 
retary of the navy relative to the Increase 
of the navy have my earnest approval: 

1. Three sea-going, sheathed and coppered 
battleships of about 13,500 tons trial dis- 
placement, carrying the heaviest armor and 
most powerful ordnance for vessels of their 
class, and to have the highest practicable 
speed and great radius of action. Esti- 
mated cost, exclusive of armor and arma- 
ment. $4,000,000 each. 

2. Three sheathed and coppered armored 
cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displace- 
ment, carrying the heaviest armor and most 
powerful ordnance for vessels of their 
class, and to have the highest practicable 
speed and great radius of action. Esti- 
mated cost, exclusive of armor and arma- 
ment. 14,000,000 each. 

3. Three sheathed and coppered protected 
cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displace- 
ment; to have the highest practicable speed 
and great radius of action and to carry the 
most powerful ordnance suitable for vessels 
of their class. Estimated cost, excluslTe of j 
armor and armament, $2,150,000 each. ' 

4. Six sheathed and coppered cruisers of 
about 2,500 tons trial diaplacement ; to have 
the highest speed compatible with good 
cruising qualities, great radius of action 
and to carry the most powerful ordnance 
suited to vessels of their class. Estimated 
cost, exclusive of armament, $1,141, SCO each. 

I join with the secretary of the navy In 
recommending that the grades of admiral 
and vice-admiral be temporarily revived, to 
be filled by officers who nave especflAly dis- 
tinguished themselves in the war with 
Spain. 

THE TWELFTH CENSUS. 

I earnestly urge upon congress the im- 
portance of early legrislatlon providing for 
the taking of the twelfth census. This is 
necessary in view of the large amount of 
work which must be performed In the prep- 
aration of the schedules preparatory to the 
enumeration of the population. 

NAMES ON THE PENSION BOLLS. 

There were on the pension rolls June 30, 
1898, 993,714 names, an increase of nearly 
18,000 over the number on the rolls the 
same day of the preceding year. The 
amount appropriated oy the act of Dec. 22, 
1896, for tne payment of pensions for the 
fiscal year 1898 was $140,000,000. Eight mil- 
lion seventy thousand eight hundred and 
seventy-two dollars and forty-six cents was 
appropriated by the act of March 31, 1898, 
to cover deficiencies in armv pensions and 
repayments In the sum of $12,020.33, mak- 
ing a total of $148,082,892.79 available for 
the payment of pensions during the fiscal 
year 1898. The amount disbursed from that 
sum was $144,651,879.80, leaving a balance 
of $3,431,012.99 unexpended June 30, 1888, 
which was covered into the treasury. 

There were 389 names added to tne rolls 
during the year by special acts passed at 
the second session of the LVth congress, 
making a total of 6,486 pensioners by con- 
gressional enactments since 1861. 

The total receipts of the patent office dur- 
ing the last yoar were $1,253,948,440. The ex- 
penditures were $1,081,633.79 leaving a sor- 
plus of $172,314.65. 

SALE OF GOVERNMENT LANDS. 
The public lands disposed of by the «>v< 
ernment during the year reached $8,l6S,<

'Includes scattering, blank and defective votes. 

In calculating pluralities in this and the following tables the Bryan-Sewall, the Bryan- 
Watson and the middle-of-the-road votes are combined for the Bryan vote.. There was fusion 
on the electoral ticket of the democrats and populists, and in some states silver republicans, in 
the following states: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, 
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New 
Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, 
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. In some of the states, like Illlnoia and 
Kansas, there were Brvan- Watson tickets run by the middle-of-the-road populists. 

It has been impossible to separate the populist from the democratic vote in the states in 
which there was a f nslon of those parties. In some of the states, like Illinois, in which the 
two parties voted for the same electors, but upon separate tickets, county ofBcers, in making 
returns to the secretaries of state, have combined the votes on electors and it is impossible to 
say how the vote should be divided. In such cases the vote classed under the head '' Bryan- 
Watson" is no indication of the strength of the people's party, while at the same time it (rtves 
too large a vote to the democrats. There is no way of giving, even approximately, the vote 
of the two parties on presidential electors.
