The CORES spondent closely questioned
him about last Saturdays incident when
the Pennsylvania troops proceeded to
establish a new outpost. The Filipinos
objected and nearly precipitated hos
tilities. ordering the Americans to with
draw in 20 minutes. They issued ammu-
milton and intercepted the American re-
Inducements. Finally General Hale or
dered all the Pennsylvanians to advance
and the rebels withdrew. The local gov
ernor has explained that the incident
was a complete mistake and has repudi
ated his subordinates' action. Aguinaldo
declared to this spOndent that the
Filipino who made the trouble merely
pretended to be an officer, and is entirely
unconnected with the insurgent army.
AGuinaldo complained that the Span
iards were disseminating false reports
for the purpose of fomenting antagO-
nism between the Fiipinos and the
Americans"

advance of ore, and the price went up
