Washington, D. C., Dec. 22 —
President McKinley proposes to
held th* Philippines as against]
the European Power? with al
•trong band, and in addition to!
Admiral Dewey’s naval force, and
the Oregon, lowa and other ships
oa the way to Manila, conteaa-'
plates sending additional vessels]
until our squadron is equal to any
two et the Asiatic squadrons of
European Powers.
Per obvious reasons of diploma
cy the Administrati n cannot pub
licly avow its apprehensions re
spaoting possible interference by j
ei.e or more European Powers,
but it was disclosed today that ;
Germany, in particular, has arous
ed the suspicion of tLe Adinini -
tration by meddling at Hongkong
and Manila, secretly, in attempts
to stir up the nativei against the
United States, for this :s the foiru I
which foreign interference would
take, inasmuch as neither Gerina
»y nor any other country would
dart openly attack cur authority
in the archipelago,
Garaiany continues to profess
fritadahip for the United States
ami to disclaim any purpose to in*
terfare with our operations <n the
Phillippiuea. But behind these
official expressions has run ever
tinea Admiral Dewey destroyed tl i
Spanish fleet a series of unfriendly |
acta on the part of German naval
and eivil offioials and German citi
aent at Hongkong and Manila,
It was learned yesterday that a
iarge shipment of trail and am
munition, intended for Agui na'do
was held up at Hongkong recently
by the Britif-h offioials at the re
quest of onr representatives, and
that, while ir con'd not be official*
it demonstrated that Germans
were back of the attempt to
strengthen the insurgents for a
possible outbreak, our representa
tives were morally certain that
Germans were at the bottom ®f the
business.
Rues an intrigue was the other
possible cause of thia peculiar
transaction, but the burden of
proof favored the theory that it
was the work of Germans. Presi
dent McKinley has realized all
along that notwithstanding official
professions. Germany, Russia and
trance, in the order named, were
likely to meddle in the Philippines
by secret dealings with the natives
and that every attempt would b
made to stir up msureetion against
our authority, with view of mak
i g us withdraw in order that they
might divide the islands among
thsaaselves,
He saw this before most of his
Cabinet officers could see it, and
he- has taken measures to pieveut
eri jus consequences, even against
he advice of some of his Cabinet
officjrs The sending of the Ore*
gon and lowa to Manila, which ii»
now admitted to be their destina
tion, was done by his direct per
sonal orders, although members
of his Cabinet told him they did
not believe it was neeeasary.
in view as th* moral auppoit of
Great Britain, which is ready to
be converted iato phyaiaal aupport
il necessary, as all the Powers
understand, an even at»aak en oar
forces in the Philippines is out G s
the question, oud gives the Ad
ministration no concern, but the
aaeret innchi nations are already
under way, and lhe Admioietra
ten a purpose is to make them
absolutely ineffectual.
