A Leader Says They Want indie

AGONCILLO'S OPINION.
Do Not Want to be Bought and Sold
Like Merchandise May Fight
to Bitter End,

London, Nov. 21.-Agoncillo. the agent
Of Aguinaldo, with his advisers, returned
here from Paris this morning. He an
nounced himself as being very indignant
at the statements made by MAJ. -Gen.
Wesley Merritt in reply to the arraign-
ment of American officers made by the
insurgent junta of Hong Kong in an
open letter to President Mckinley and
the people Of the United States through
the Associated press.
The general situation also displeased
Agonclllo, and, after recalling, to al in
tervleWer, "hOW the FilipinOs have loyal
ly and effectively aided the Americans"
he added: Gen. Merritt's reference to
the Filipinos as children is simply an
echo of Spanish saying and he may,
like the Spaniards find his error when
it is too late.
I am afraid the Filipinos will never
again submit to the yoke of a colonial
government. Rather than live again as
slaves, they will fight to the bitter end in
defense of their rights and freedom. My
instructions are to claim the recognition
OF their independence"
What do the FilipinOs think of the
American proposals to purchase the ISL
ands! Agoncillo was $;ked.
The opinion of the Filipino govern
ment cannot be favorable to it," he an
sWered, 'as they cannot allow them
selves to be bought and sold like mer-
crate indemnity is that their recognition
and peace be stablished | do not see
why, perhaps, the matter could not be
submitted to their considera ton"
Aguinaldo's agent was then asked
what form of government the Filipinos
would prefer if they could not get COM
plete independence, but he declined to an
I a hat no
mature to do so, but he expressed ''con-
tidence IN the honor Of the American ma
ton and President Mckinley, who will
not permit any misunderstanding"
