Show SAYS HOAR CAUSED WAR. Ex-Minister ISarrntt to Siam Says Hoar's Speech Caused l''llipliio Outbreak. Chicago, January 16. John Barratt, ex-United States minister to Siam, for the first time pubffely named Senator Hoar at Lake Forest university as the senator whose anti-expansion speech was cabled to Hongkong and subsequently subse-quently put in the hands of the Filipino soldiers, causing, as Mr. Barrett believed, be-lieved, the open insurrection. Frequently this speech and its presumed pre-sumed effect have been mentioned, and the reading public has connected the name of Senator Hoar with it, and it is probable that Mr. Barret would not have used the lawmaker's name on this occasion had he not been facing an audience au-dience known to be largely hostile to the administration's policy in the Oriental Ori-ental islands. The message was cabled to Paris in fragments in cipher, and then put together to-gether and cabled to Hongkong to the Filipino junta. A protest was made against its being sent to Manila, as the object was apparently to engender strife, but it was unavailing. |
