The United States government has taken a hand In the suppression of tho "Boxers" In China.

There Is no Indication In tho Instruc tions ns to the course that would bo pursued by the United States govern ment in ense the Chinese refuse to fol low the warning. Minister Conger Is acting on parallel lines with tho representatives of every European power at the Chinese court, but has not joined in any concert of action. It is realized here that the Chinese government In dealing with the "Boxers" will encounter much difficulty, ns the society claims to be purely patriotic. Its contention is that the teach ings of the Christians are in their re sults absolutely destructive of the Chinese system of government. Tho Boxers" now arc not attacking foreign missionaries, but aro killing the Chi nese who nllow themselves to be converted to Christianity.
This phase of tho matter Is difficult to deal with, as It heretofore has been a well recognized right of nation to deal with Its own subjects nt its pleas ure. This rule docs not contemplate excesses such as aro ascribed to the "Boxers," and there is believed to be reasonable ground for foreign intervention, which would Include tho participation of United States war ohlps, should this be necessary.

TALK IN THE SENATE ho Islands Po otsion Subject Creates a Hinted Discussion. SENATOR ALLEN TAKES A PART Hpooner, of Wlaroiuln, Charge That lime Not I.tgltliniito Are Created The Debate Tulle Decidedly Political Turn Charge Ujr Hcimtor Allen. WASHINGTON, May 25. Tho duty of tho United States toward its "is land possessions" wn9 the subject of heated discussion in the senate.
Soon after the senate convened Bacon ot Georgia began nn extended reply to tho speech of Piatt, delivered yester day. His speech wns largely supple mental to that which he delivered sev eral days ago demanding an investiga tion of Cuban financial affairs. His resolution, to which there is little or no opposition, under the rules went to tho committee on contingent expenses. Tho remainder of the nttcrnoon was occupied by Spooner of Wisconsin in concluding his speech on tho Philippine question. Tho debato which he aroused took a turn decidedly political.
He charged tho so-called antl-lmperlallsts with cre ating nn Issuo which was not legiti mate. Many of his statements were controverted by Allen of Nebraska nnd Pettlgrew of South Dakota, and tho controversy at times becamo al most personal.1 Spooner maintained thnt the facts proved tho attack upon the United States troops was not only mndo by Agulnaldo, but had long been premedi tated. By Filipino documents which had fallen Into tho hnnds of the Americans, ho showed that the Filipinos under tho leadership ot Agulnaldo wore preparing for nn attack upon our troops nnd that it had been fixed for February 5, 1899, one fcy before the outbreak occurred. Spooner declared that nobody but an "antl-imperlallst," who by his words and actions desired tho dishonor ot his country nnd the making of cam paign mnterial In presidential year, could hove so little good faith as to mako tho brutal chnrge ngalnst tho president of the UUed States that ho had been responsible for the precipi tation of hostilities In discussing further along tho re sponsibility for the continuation of hostilities, Spooner quoted dispatch from General Otis giving an account of nn Interview ho had with Judge Torres, ono of tho Filipino commissioners, who suggested that a neutral zono be established between the hos tile armies. "General Otis Informed him thnt tho suggestion of a neutral zone or nn nrmhrtiCe in the circ*mstances would have to come from Agulnaldo.
An officer was sent to Agulnaldo by Judge Torres with a. request thnt an armis tice bo arranged, and for reply Agul naldo sent to General Otis copy of his declaration of war. I received In the noon mall today." said Spooner, "an insulting letter from tho chief of tho so-called antl-lm perlallsts of Boston, in which he de nounced General Otis as a liar." At this point Allen Interrupted to say that an army officer a friend of his had Informed him that that statement of the Interview with Judge Torres was not true; that General Otis had misrepresented it. "An officer who charges falsehood against his commanding officer," retorted Spooner, "ought to make It in tho open." "If ho should make the charge In tho open," said Allen, "his position would bo imperiled." "Well," roplied Spooner, "if he told tho truth a court-martial would tako caro of his case and that of the commanding general, too. Ho would not Imperil his office in the nrmy of any decent government In the world." "The wny the army Is run todny," assorted Allen, "It is certaln'that no officer would thus imperil his position." "Thcro never wns tlmo in nil tho illustrious history of our nrmy," replied Spooner warmly, "when It was better, braver or moro honorable than it is today.
Tho senator's officer friend would receive full protection. General Otis signs his statements. 1 have no respect for man who goes bohlnd tho back of his commanding general to malign him." Holds Ice Trutt Unluwful. NEW YORK, May 25. Attorney General J.
