ment: "He (Aguinaldo) captured all 

 Spanish garrisons on the island of Luzon 

 outside of ilanila, so that when the 

 Americans were ready to proceed against 

 the city they were not delayed and trou- 

 bled with a country campaign. More- 

 over, he has organized a government 

 which has practically been administer- 

 ing the affairs of the great island since 

 the American occupation of Manila, and 

 which is certainly better than the for- 

 mer administration; he has a properly 

 formed Cabinet and Congress, the mem- 

 bers of which, in appearance and man- 

 ners, would compare favorably with 

 Japanese statesmen. He has among his 

 advisers men of ability as international 

 lawyers, while his supporters include 

 most of the prominent educated and 

 wealthy natives, all of which prove pos- 

 sibilities of self-government that we 

 must consider." This pamphlet is pub- 

 lished at Hong Kong. The other paper 

 is an address delivered before the New 

 York State Bar Association, by Charles 

 A. Gardiner, on Our Right to acquire 

 and hold Forcion Territory, and is pub- 

 lished by G. P. Putnam's Sons in the 

 Questions of the Day Series. Mr. Gar- 

 diner holds and expresses the broadest 

 views of the constitutional power of our 

 Government to commit the acts named, 

 and to exercise all the attributes inci- 



dental to the possession of acquired ter- 

 ritory, but he thinks that we need a 

 great deal of legal advice in the matter. 



A pamphlet, Anti-Imperialism, by 

 Morrison L. 8icift, published by the 

 Public Ownership Review, Los Angeles, 

 Cal., covers the subject of English and 

 American aggression in three chapters — 

 Imperialism to bless the Conquered, Im- 

 perialism for the Sake of Mankind, and 

 Our Crime in the Philippines. Mr. Swift 

 is very earnest in respect to some of the 

 subjects touched upon in his essays, and 

 some persons may object that he is more 

 forcible — even to excess — than polite in 

 his denunciations. To such he may per- 

 haps reply that there are things which 

 language does not afford words too 

 strong to characterize fitly. 



Among the papers read at the Fourth 

 International Catholic Scientifie Con- 

 gress, held at Fribourg, Switzerland, in 

 August, 1897, was one by William J. D. 

 Croke on Architecture, Painting, and 

 Printing at Subiaco as represented in 

 the Abbey at Subiaco. The author re- 

 gards the features of the three arts rep- 

 resented in this place as evidence that 

 the record of the activity of the founda- 

 tion constitutes a real chapter in the his- 

 tory of progress in general and of cul- 

 ture in particular.
