Washington, D. C., May 14 —To- day Representative Corliss of Michi- gan, read in the house a letter al- leged to be from a “native Puerto Rican,” which, be asserted, enthusi- astically indorsed the action of con- gress in passing the Puerto Kican bill.”” The reading of the letter furnished the text fora prompt and visorous reply from Mr. DeArmond of Mis- souri. He reviewed the policy the administration in the Philippines and Puerto Rico, and the scandals in the management of af- fairs in Cuba. His remarks were re- ceived with marked approval by the democrats, and his time was extend- ed until he had spoken thirty min- utes. He ridiculed the Corlis in scathing language, recited the wild enthusiasm with which the Puer- to Ricans must be receiving the car- pet-bag government by this admin- istration, especially with theexample of Cuban mal administration now be- fore them. In conclusion Mr. DeArmond drew a striking contrast between the colo- nial government which the adminis- tration is inaugurating and the dem- ocratic American policies of the ear- lier days of the republic. Said he: “Why risk everything that we have, why run not only the serious risk of forfeiting and destroying our own liberties here, but of turning back the hands upon the dial of time and bringing the dark ages again as far as it is possible for you to do? Do you know that this grand experi- ment here upon this continent, this grand achievement of the American republic so far is the inspiration and the hope of free men the wide world over? Isit nota dark and sad day in this great American republic, in this proud capital of a great nation, when not a voice can be raised offi- cially in sympathy with those who are striving desperately to maintain or to achieve independence, and when recklessly, wildly and indifferently you march over great principles and over the constitution as if it merely waste paper? The Days of the Fathers. “Do you believe that in the heroic: days of the fathers, in the times when men realized that to have liberty for themselves, to maintain their own government and build up their own institutions, they must respect the rights of others—do you believe that in those days there would have been hesitancy and timidity and fear about expressing sympathy with those with whom every man who has a heart in his bosom that beats true to liberty does, I believe, sympathize —those struggling for independence to-day? “What official voice can be raised here in sympathy for the poor, hard- pressed Boers, as the vast power of the British empire sweeps down upon them, as the 400 press sorer and sorer, and harder and harder, upon the devoted one? How strange it is that in this mighty republic, in this closing days of this glorious century, no Official expression can be given of sympathy for those who strive to maintain their independence against the tyrants who would destroy it! “It is given out and is well known that the sole purpose and object of the British empire is to destroy free government inthe Dark Continent, to destroy the republics built up by the heroic Boers. Nothing else will satisfy them. A war of destruction, a war ofextermination against hu- man rights, a waragainst republican institutions is in progress, and in the mightiest republic upon the face of the earth, in the most glorious re public in all history, nothing can be said officially, either because there is an understanding in secret places and high places with those in power in the British Empire which would be violated by it. or beeause there is that truckling to wealth and power in view of which the rights of human- ityand the principles upon whict freedom and liberty must rest in all times and in all lands are overlooke: and forgotten. especially letter and, were An Appeal to the Peeple. “At a time when those in power are so neglectful of humaa rights, sc reckless of human liberty. so ready to do wrong at the expense of right. the hope then, as in all times. is an appeal to the mass of the people. I destroying reverence for the consti- tution, which are undermining our |institutions, which are aiding the ty-| fully | succes birth- rant to make his acainst those who contend by) jright of freedom that these things are condemned in the great public | mind, and that when the public is in- telligently appealed to the condem_ | nation of the people, let me at least hope, will be expressed in the ballot box. “When those in authority are be- sotted with power, when their eyes rest solely upon commercial aggran- dizemeat, which means aggrandize- meut forthe few and not for the many, which does not mean the up- lifting of the common toilers and producers, but the advantage of the mighty corporations, the multiplying of the millions of the millionaire— way with the eye and the mind set upon those things, the principles upon which rest the security of republican institutions and the welfare of man- kind are forgotten. AndI believethe people will not forget. 1 believe that they have in their blood the inheri- tance of freedom. I believe that by instinct, as well as by reason, they will detect this formidable, reckles movement toward the destruction of freedom and the exploitation of ty- ranny. Wecannot afford to plunge down into the slough of corruption. We cannot have scandal piled upon scandal, and the great American Re- public the victim. We cannot have the vast moral power of this nation thrown with all its tremendous weight in the scale of tyranny and against liberty. Interpreters Needed. “Many interpreters will have to come from Michigan and San Juan to assure us of the soundness of leg- islation which I think no man will seriously undertake to defend, and which almost without exception, the independent thinkers of our country, without regard to party, have con- demned. I think it will take many interpreters to gloss over and to ex- plain what cannot be glossed over and needs no explanation. “You have simply legislated with- out reference to the constitution. Deliberately and recklessly you did that which you knew the constitu- tion would not authorize you to do. Now the fruits are coming. “There must be a change, and the change must come speedily or you will convert this republie into an em- pirein fact if notin name. There may empires under republican forms. When the rule and the popular rights are dis- regarded, when the masses are gotten, when special privileges are be people {cease to for- given to the few at the expense of the many, when reckless power asserts itself and corruption follows in its wake, you have an empire in fact, whatever it may be in name. We have had thewarning. We have had the example. We are having it now. We are passing through times which virtually try men’s souls and ought to test their patriotism and ought to of their country and its principles. The battle must be made against what is wrong and what is reckless, for what is right and what is true, and then our country, being preserved, being aligned anew where it ought to be, being counted upon the side where it belongs, we may address ourselves to the questions of great importance which in this wide scramble, in the reckless progress downward and not upward, have been forgotten and rel- egated to the rear. (Applause.) arouse their energies in defense Washington said: Separated as we are by a world of water from oth- er nations, we shall, if we are wise. surely avoid being drawn into the labyrinth of their politics and involv- ed in their destructive wars, America may think herself happy in having the Atlantic for a barrier. I have al- ways given itas my decided opinion that no nation hasa_ right to inter- meddle in the internal concerns of another: that everyone hasa right to form and adopt whatever govern- ment th like best to live under themselv: A farmer says: “If you bore a quarter inch h into the heart of a fruit tree. or any kind of a tree that is infected with insects. and fill the hole full of dry sulphur, or Calomel and plug up the hole it will cure blight, make the tree strong and healthy, and in no wayinjure it. This is a valuable boon to fruit growers, as the sulphur goes through all parts of the tree, being absorbed from the heart, and makes a good healthy color.” are| | - ‘THREE DAYS’ BATTLE REPORT CONFIRMED, Gen. MacArthur at Manila An- swers the War Depart- ment’s Cabled Inquiry. BLOODY CONTEST AT CATUBIG. Heaviest Loss the Americans Have Sustained in Any One Engage- gagement in the Philippines. Washington, May 16.—The officials of the war department, after waiting for nearly a week to hear something from General MacArthur at Manila, confirmatory of the press report of the three days’ bloody battle at Catubig, which resulted in the heavi est loss of life that the American army has sustained in any one en- gagement in the Philippines, yester- day cabled General MacArthur a request for information. The answer was received to-day, confirming the reports, aud adding some interesting details. Gen. MacArthur transmitted report from Henry T. Allen, a major of the Forty-third who manded the United States troops at the island of Samar. It appears that the force was divid- ed among several ports on Samar, and, while details are still lacking. it is believed that this particular force, which was attacked at Catubig, was commanded not by a eommissioned officer, but by a sergeant, either George or Hall, both of whom were killed. Catubig, where the engagement oc- curred, is a seaport town of nearly 10,000 inhabitants. MacARTHUR’s CABLEGRAM. press a Volunteers, com- Gen.
