DESIRES OF FILIPPINos.
Termination of Spanish Sovereignty
Is Their Chief Aim.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator
Chandler of New Hampshire, who is
taking a personal interest in the Phil
iDpine question, and General Greene,
who accompanied Agoncillo on his trip
here, had a long conference today.
When asked to sum I'D the desires OF
the Philippine delegates, Mr.. Chandler
said:
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 termi-
nation of Spanish sovereignty over the
island of Luzon or Manila that they
desire, but the end of Spanish rule over
the entire group Of islands. And it is
conceded that if Spanish sovereignty
is to be brought to an end over the
island of LuZOn, it should also be
brought to an end over the whole ar
chiDelago, for it would not do to dis
possess Spain of the island of LuzOn
and still leave her free to transfer
adjacent islands to Germany or other
foreign powers. The disappearance of
Spanish rule from the Philippines be-
ing assured. the next purpose of the
Filippinos, as l gather from their dele
gates, is TO have an opportunity to try
their capacity for Self-government Nn-
der American protection, if need be,
during the transition period, or, if that
seems ineXpedient, then they want this
government to assume the direction or
control os affairs, by annexation or
such other method as may best meet
the condition of affairs. They seem to
feel satisfied that the question of flu
ture rule can be solved without diff
Guilty after the first great aim of ter
minating Spanish rule is brought
about"

Gambia. Island of Crete. Sept. 29.-Ed-

is chiefly blamed for the recent rioting
here. has been deprived of the COVER
n0rship and started for Smyrna today.
The delays and subterfuges in COM
plying with the orders of Admiral Noel,
the British commander in these waters
increase. The Turkish authorities have
ceased surrendering arms and are pre-
tending that the disarmament has
been completed. The British officers
propose to- search suspected houses.
They have discovered that many of the
men surrendered to Admiral Noel as
ringleaders of the rioting are innocent,
while the guilty are still at liberty.
A detachment of 800 British blue
jackets was paraded through the town
