THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.

[To THE EDITOR or THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sns,—Referring to your article in the Spectator of July 2nd on the Philippines, German warships at Manilla, &c., " What do the millions say ?" As one, I believe this people will not shrink from any of the conditions if imposed as in your fore- cast. If conditions develop to persuade this portion of the Anglo-Saxon race that their duty is in the Philippines,. neither heighth, depth, width, nor length, treasure, blood, nor time will swerve them from the prosecution of the work under Providence. As to the delicate situation of Admiral Dewey, he will deport himself as Anglo-Saxons ever have, who knowing their rights dare maintain them. It lies with Germany to. break the peace at Manilla, with Dewey to restore it if able; otherwise it will be a question of tenacity and resources. between the German Empire and the people of the United. States of America.—I am, Sir, &c.,

ONE OF THE MILLIONS.
