** TELEGRAPH" AND FILIPINOS.

The

*Telegraph" and the

Pilipinos.

To the Editor of the

"China Daily Outlook."I Sir Allow me to answer in the "Outlook" "the nuwairanted and groundless assertions of the "Telegraph' editorial of yester- day concerning the Philippines and the Filipinos.. I did not ad- dress this letter to the "Talo- graph," because although the ob- ject of that paper is "to publish correct information, to serve the trath, and print the news without fear or favour." it does not, give pablicity to all that is contrary to the intereats of Ameriona Ima- poralism of which it is an ardent defender.

#

What shall we say of a man who says that black is white and vice versa? This is exactly the line of reasoning adopted by the

Telegraph

on the Philippine question, and for this reason, I refrain from refuting its error and sophisms, above all, when it saya that "the people whose country the

new Governor bas "to administer sro, nine-tenths of them, Asiatice and Mestizos and of these, thoneands are little better than eavages, and mutinous and dangerous at that, while thousands more are clamoring for an independence which they would not have the faintest notion of now to use, even if they had it."

Now, the only thing which I want to point out, so that the public of this colony may know how to take the campaigns of "Telegraph," is that it is the property of 0 rich American gentleman who is per- sonally interested in favor of the retention of the Philippines, be- cause he has invested, many of his dollars in business there. That is the main question:
