dignant COuntrymen.
VIGO, Spain, Sept. 16.-A crowd Of
about 500 people besieged the house Of
Gen. Toral today, demanding that the
troops which arrived here yesterday
from Santiago de Cuba on board the
Spanish steamer Leon XIII be imme-
diately landed. They proceeded to the
Quays cheering the troops, and were
with difficulty dispersed by soldiers
from the garrison. Afterwards a crowd
of 1,5O0 persons gathered at the quay,
and when they saw the soldiers landed
barefooted and nearly naked they be-
came infuriated and surrounded Gen.
Toral's house, hooting and kissing and
stoning the building. Eventually the
Spanish general succeeded in escaping
to the Leon XIII. On learning this the
mob gathered on the dock and stoned
the steamer for half an hour, smashing
the cabin windows. The Leon XIII.
was obliged to leave the place where

finished the task, 1t was to be expected
they would return to America. He was
unwilling to believe the Americans
would demand a reward for acting in
behalf Of humanity, and he declined
to admit the necessity Of a quid pro
quo.
The Filipino leader expressed him
self confident that the newly founded
government would build navy, ult1-
mately. In the meantime, he said the
great nations should protect and aid
young nation, instead of grabbing
her territories. If the Americans
should refuse to withdraw, the nation
al assembly, he said, must decide the
Holicy to be pursued, a policy which
he declined to forecast.
Further conversation was prevented
by the strains Of a brass band. but
Gen. Agutnaldo was interviewed also
by dozen American journalists and
one Japanese. A Spaniard, supposed
to be an official, ununiformed travers-
ed the town, sneering at and denounc-
ing the principal Filipinos, on resenting
a friendly remonstrance, was placed
under arrest.
ALLEGED OUTRAGES,
Several Filipinos assure this corre-
spondent that they have personally
witnessed horrible tortures at Iloilo.
the feet Of natives held to a candle
flame for hours, electric currents an
piled to the most sensitive parts of the
body, and various unnameable atroci-
ties, all intended to extort confessions
This is scarcely credible, but there are
numerous alleged witnesses Of such
outrages and several who show scars
of recent origin, and unhealed. Some
say they escaped only through bribing
the spanish officials. 1t is natural that
there should be a yearning for revenge
upon the Spanish prisoners at Malilos,
but these are not maltreated. The cor
respondent saw several who were at
perfect liberty, having peaceful en-
ployment and apparently quite con-
tent to remain.

MANILA, Sept. 1e-The Philippine
national assembly was inaugurated at
Malolos with great enthusiasm There
were thousands of visitors from the
provinces and a great display was
made. Aguinaldo, at 9 o'clock in the
morning, entered the hall Of the con-
vent recently occupied by the Spanish
local government.
Agui'naldo, who was received with
cheers and also with cries of "Viva
America by the large crowd of ma
tives inside and outside the hall, read
a decree convening the members, who
included several Spaniards. He next
read a message eulogizing the army
and thanking the friendly nations
which had set the historical example
Of liberty and had assisted a down
trodden race. Continuing, Aguinaldo
urgently and eloquently exhorted the
assembly to follow the noblest prin-
ciples," and invoked the Spirits of the
martyred Filipinos" The assembly
then adjourned for the day.
A Spanish delegate suggested that
business be resumed in the afternoon,
but Filipino objected and accused the
Spaniard Of attempting to undermine
the constitution. To this the Spaniard
replied that he was a sincere Repub~
lican and that his only desire was tn"
welfare of the country. Thereupon the
Filipino apologized and the proceed
ings terminated.
AGUINALDO'S BUSY DAY.
During the afternoon many Ameri-
cans and Europeans arrived and
Aguinaldo was kept busy receiving
visitors, including the American com
sui
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press had a private interview with
Aguinaldo, who is extremely unwill
ing to compromise himself with the ma
tives. He said that a majority of the
Filipinos had been struggling for free
dom for years and centuries and that
they now believe that object has been
obtained
Aguinaldo professed entire ignorance
of the autonomous systems in vogue
In the British colonies, Of protectorates
and of American state autonomy. He
said he was unable to understand the
Idea and only understood absolute in
dependence" Personally he believed a
protectorate for the Philippine islands
unnecessary, but he feared that the peo-
pie would be disappointed in this. He
had not studied political economy and
knew nothing about the various forms
of government. He inquired whether
Australia was an American colony and
said he had never heard of a Malay
protectOrate
Continuing, the insurgent leader said
there was no need of protection for the
Philippine islands, because the Fill
pinos were able to cope with any army
He admitted that he had never seen
foreign army, with the exceptions of
I the garrisons at Hong Kong and S.ng-
apore, and he had never seen these
troops on parade
Aguinaldo declined to discuss the
American army and protested his un-
dying gratitude to the Americans.
Aguinaldo said the Americans had
come to the Philippines to fight the
spaniards only, and. now they had
