KEEP ISLANDS,
SAYS INDIANIAN
Yonng Beveridge Makes Strong
Expansionist Speech.
ADMINISTRATION IS SUSTAINED
“The Islands Are Ours, and Should
Be Held As Such”—Senator
Hoar Replies.
In the senate Thursday, Mr. Allen,
of Nebraska, offeed a resolution call
ing upon the secretary of war for
information as to the name of tho
transports, the persons from whom
they were acquired, the prices paid
and all other information relating to
the transport service. It was adopted.
At the conclusion of the routine
business Mr. Beveridge, of Indiana,
was recognized for bis speech on the
Philippine question. The text of his
address was a resolution which he
offered a few days ago, which declares
“That the Philippine islands are ter
ritory belonging to the United States;
that it is the intention of the United
States to retain them as such, and to
establish and maintain such govern
mental control throughout the archi
poligo as the situation may demand.”
It was a brilliant audience which
greeted Mr. Beveridge when he began
to speak. Every gallery was crowded.
Forming a fringe about the table were
many members of the house of repre
sentatives, who had been attracted to
hear the maiden effort in the senate of
the young Indianian. Throughout
the effort, which was very long, Mr.
Beveridge commanded the attention
of his colleagues of the senate and of
his auditors both on the floor of the
chamber aud in the galleries. He
spoke rapidly, with notably clear
enunciation and at times with pas
sionate force and dramatic fervor.
The attention of Washington had
been attracted to the boy tenator first
by his election, which the Republican
politicians of Indiana had said was
impossible; next by his action in go
ing out to the Philippines to study
the conditions there himself; then
again by newspaper notices of a hardly
complimentary nature which had a
tendency to misrepresent the yOung
man, and lastly, by his announcement
of a set speech upon a live topic in
the first session of his service as a
senator.
Anew senator is not supposed to
make a speech for a year or two after
his advent. But Senator Beveridge
cared little for ethics. There was
nothing of the sophomore in his man
ner of delivery and nothing of the
novice in his treatment of his subject.
Almost all of the oratory which has
been heard on this subject heretofore
has come from the men opposed to the
administration policy. Those who
favor the expansion side have had lit
tle to say and none of those who have
talked have taken the frank open,
ground of the senator from Indiana,
who argued that this government
should not only refuse to hold out any
promises of independence of howso
ever equivocal nature, but that we
should declare it our purpose to hold
the Philippine archipelago as a per
manent possession and should give its
inhabitants a colonial government.
The fact that Senator Beveridge
had made the investigations for him
self; that he brought testimony from
the foremost men of the islands to
bear out his contention that it would
boa good business proposition for us
to hold these islands; that the people
are incapable of self-government, and
that such a government would be an
injury to them rather than a bless
ing, gave peculiar value to his speech
in the opinion of his hearers.
At times he was quite dramatic in
his utterances, particularly when he
charged that the blood of American
soldiers must be upon those here at
home who had been instrumental in
keeping alive the insurrection by their
opposition to the policy of the admin
istration.
Mr. Beveridge concluded his speech
at 2:25. He received great applause
from both the floor and galleries.
Mr. Hoar followed Sieveridge and
addressed himself to the Indiana sen
ator with great earnestness. It would
be a base thing he suid, for this coun
try to strike down the young republic
in the Philippines.
Mr. Hoar said he could prove by
Otis and Dewey that there was a Fili
pino government.
Otis in all communications said the
president of the Philippinesdesirod to
establish their independence. Mr.
Hoar said Aguinaldo was brought over
and placed at the head of 30,000 peo
ple who desired independence and who
were furnished arms by the United
States government.
BOERS HELD BACK
Their Onslaughts K°pt In Check
By General White.
BRITISH VICTORIES ARE CLAIMED
Ammunition nt Ladysmith Is Dwindling
nncl Troubles of Britons Are ns
Aujiaviiteil ns Ever Before.
The London war office has just pub
lished tho following dispatch from
General Buller:
Frbre Camp, Natal, Jan. B.—The
following is from General White,
dated yesterday:
* ‘‘An attack was commenced on my
position, but was chiefly against
Caesar’s camp aud Wagon hill. The
enemy was in great strength and has
pushed the attack with the greatest
courage and energy. Some of the en
trenchments on Wagon hill were three
times takeu by the enemy and retaken
by us. The attack was continued un
til 7:20 p. m. One point in our posi
tiou was occupied by the enemy the
whole day. But at dusk, in a very
heavy rainstorm, they were turned
out of this position at the point of the
bayonet, in a most gallant manner, by
the Devons, led by Colonel Park.
Colonel lan Hamilton commanded on
Wagon hill and rendered valuable ser
vice. The troops have had a very try
ing time and have behaved excellently.
They are elated at the service they
have rendered the queen.
“The enemy were repulsed every
where with very heavy loss, greatly
exceeding that on my side, which will
be reported as soon as the lkits are
completed.”
Another London special says: Gen
eral White still holds out, or did so
sixty hours ago, when the Boers, oust
ed from their foothold inside the
works, suspended their assault at
nightfall. England has taken heart.
The situation, however, is worse. The
beleaguered force must have expend
ed large amounts of amunition, which
cannot be replenished and must have
lost a number of officers aud men,
which is counterbalanced, so far as
the garrison is concerned, by greater
loss of the Boers.
“General White still needs relief
and the difficulties confronting Gener
al Buller are as great as before.
“The former’s unadorned sentences
an read and reread suggest eloquenty
the peril in which the town was for
fourteen hours, and how barely able
his nine thousand men were to keep
from being overcome.
“The chief concern for General
White is in respect to ammunition.
Sixty-eight days ago, at the beginning
of the siege, his small arm ammuni
tion was vaguely described as
“plouty.” His artillery then had 300
rounds per gun. Some of the bat
teries have been in action frequently
since then aud all were probably en
gaged last Saturday. His stock of
shells, consequently, must below', and
this will make it difficult for General
White to co-operate in a movement by
General Buller.
The intrenchments at Lady-mith, as
described in a message that left, a day
or two before the fighting and has just
come through, are fortified hills, well
covered with rifle pits, and trenches
down which the infantry move in sin
gle file to the various posts in absolute
safety. Full rations are still served.
GEORGIA REPUBLICANS
Will Put Out a Full State Ticket This Fall
According to Chairman Johnson.
An Atlanta special says: According
to the call for a state convention issued
Monday morning by Chairman Pro Tem
Walter H. Johnson, of the Republican
state central committee, the Republi
cans of Georgia will take an active part
in state politics this fall.
It is declared by the Republican
state central committee through its
chairman pro tem that candidates for
governor and other statehouse officers
will be nominated at the state conven
tion, which is called to meet in Atlan
ta March 7th.
If the Republicans carry out their
plans it will he the first time in a num
ber of years that they have put a stato
ticket in the field and will bring them
more prominently into the arena of
state politics.
