"How about the Philippines, Colo

"1 do not think the government will
retain those islands. We do not need
them, for they are too fur from home,
but we are in need of a coaling sta?
tion. In my opinion we.will retain one

the powers, but they w ill be made'in a

"Colonel, some people are inclined to
question the ability of the Cubans lo
govern themselves, and 1 should like
to have your opinion on the subject."
"We do not know whether the Cubans
can govern themselves or not. and we
must give them a fair trial. I believe
they will prove their ability to con

ascertain what Self-government is^ A

haps, that under our system the uned?

that we have the ideal government of
the world? We must give the Cubans
a chance to show what they can do."
Referring to Admiral Dewey's mis?
sion to the Philippine islands, Colonel
Lewis said the commander of the Asi?
atic squadron did not go to Manila for
the purpose of conquest. Dewey's or?
ders were to destroy Ihe Spanish fleei
in those waters, but after he had car?
ried out his instructions he found thst
the inhabitants were engaged in sn
insurrection, making it necessary Or
him to remain there. Otherwise he
might have proceeded to Cuba to aid in
carrying out the resolution of Congress
that precipitated the war."
Colonel Lewis will probably emoark
for Porto Rico on the Auxiliary eiuiser
at Mar.asas.
