A rILIPINO'S CONVERSION

From Support Of the Spanish Cause to
AEuInaIdo'S RsvoIutIOn-LoGt Faith In
the TrsachsrouS DonS.
MANILA, June A.-Felipe Beunca-
mlno is a FSltpino who was friendly to
Spain and Joined In the compromise ar
rangement whereby the spaniards
hoped to concIHate the rebel leaders
without sacrificing too much. He was
sent to Agudnaldo'S camp by Captain
General August with the objeut Of So
curing Agulnal6o's adherence to the
Spanish cause. He was arrested by the
dIctators orders and held prisoner.
Three weeks afterwards he issued
manifesto ren0uccinE his allegiance 10
Spain. Accompanying the manifesto
was a letter from Buercamlno to Cap
tain General August, setting forth the
writer's reasons for going over to the
insurgents. Much Of the letter refers 70
events Of no special Importance at
this distance from the theatre Of action,
being devoted mainly to review OF the
operlng Of hostilitfes between the Span
Ish and natives, and TO telling General
Augusta that he had come over to the
Philippines too late to heal the breach
created by his predecessors policy OF
bad faith and bribery, and advocatlon
OF the domination Of the friars.
After pointing out the hopelesSness OF
Augustus position In Manila, Buenca-
mdno, adlressln- the FAEpiros, sums up
the situation ut the time Of writing as
follows: Having relied on the vaior
and worth OF the SpRnaards and on their
history and Vaunted superiority OF race,

of their miserable exhibition Of cowurd-

am convinced that the Spaniards are
not brave, are not our Buperiors. and
nre altogether incapable OF uphodtng
their Rovereignity in the Philippines.
From the moment this was clear they
have forfeited the right to ru,e us, and
my duty OF loyalty 10 them ceases at
the same time,
"I therefore joln the rebels and work
