DEMANDS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
The Latest Proclamation Issued by the Insar-
gent Leader AguinaId.

VANCOUVER, B. C.. Sept. 1.-The following is
q much condensed summary OF the last procla-
nation Of the insurgent leader. Emilio Aguinald,
in the Philippines. Nearly all the copies were
suppressed by the Spaniards, but this one found
its way to the China Mail:
The towns captured by the Spanish have
simply been abandoned by us. as we thought
advisable. We take the offensive only when
opportunity offers. Thus we defy Spain for an
indefinite period, exhausting her resources. and
obliging her TO surrender from debility. Spanish
credit is nil. Her young men are emigrating TO
France. The Cubans are firing Spain out. just
as we are doing. What we pray for is a general
revolt all along the line"
Then follows n list OF demands which must be
conceded to before the war will cease. Among
them Is the expulsion OF the friars and the con.
h%scAtion Of their lands; Philippine representa-:
ton In the Spanish Parliament; ali priests
lands 10 be sold at public auction, and suppress.
sion OF the power TO Danish citizens. Aguineld
then concludes:
1T is absolutely necessary to prolong the war
and give the greatest sign OF virility possible in
order that Spain may be forced to grant what
We ask. Otherwise she will consider us a de-
crepit race, and in place OF amplifying our
rights will still further curtail them"

posed TO the proposition. Secretary William ii.
Warner is not in favor OF II. The operators have
decided to pay no attention to It.. President
Dolan is said to view 1t with favor. but he has
agreed to consult the miners of this district be-
fore deciding.
Secretary Warner tonight issued a statement
In which he said:
II can assure you that there will be no ques.
tion OF any rate other than 90 cents for mining
being considered by your district officials until
all questions are submitted to you through your
delegates in a convention assembled
Tho secret committee appointed last week to
devise q plan for reopening the mines met this
afternoon. They decided to make a start and
selected certain machine-operated mines. Mem
bers OF the committee refused TO designate the
mines thu selected.
The small operators met to-day and decided
for the present not to force an issue with the
