FUTURE Of PHILIPPINES.
he insurgents Insist That spanish Rsle Shall
Forever End.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The reports
from Manila. that Aguinaldo would.
today. hold grand ceremony to pro-
claim the republic of Philippines, with
himself at the head. has not been made
known to Aguincello, head OF the Phil
ippine delegation here. He said
through his interpreter, that he looked
for cable at any time, in response
to inquiries which would show most
what the present status Of affairs was.
Senator Chandler Of New Hampshire.
who is taking personal interest in
Philippine affairs. and Gen. Greene,
who accompanied Aguincello on his
trip here, had a long conference with
him, today. Senator Chandler said af-
terward that there was no doubt the
President would receive the delegation
to get full information on the condi-
ton of affairs at home.
When asked to sum up the desires
of the Philippine delegates, Mr.. Chan
dler said:
1.-The first and most essential purpose
is to have the treaty of Paris-the final
treaty which will stand for all time
contain an article terminating abso-
lutely the sovereignty Of Spain over
the Philippines. 1t is not alone the
Termination of Spanish sovereignty
over the island of Luzon, or Manila,
that they desire, but the end Of the
Spanish rule over the entire group OF
Islands.
1.-The disappearance of Spanish rule
from the Philippines being assured,
the next purpose OF the Filipinos as
gathered from their delegates is to
have an opportunity to try their ca
pacity for self-government under
American protection if need be dur
ing the transition period or, if that
seems inexpedent, then they want this
government to assume the direction or
control of affairs, by annexation or
such other method as may best meet
the condition of affairs.
They seem to feel satisfied that the
question of future rule can be solved
without difficulty after the first great
aim of terminating Spanish rule is
| brought about"
