MANILA, Sept. l4.-Rear Admiral
Dewey says he considers the situation
critical. 1t is understood he has asked
for an additional cruiser and a battle.
ship.
The Spaniards assert that Germany
will take a coaling station here and
that Spain will retain the remainder
OF the islands.
The last Spanish garrisons at nocos
and Lagona have surrendered and the
whole island of Luzon is in the hands
of the insurgents, except at Manila and
Cavite.
Aguiraldo went to Lalollos on Fri.
day. He has announced his intention
of converting an assembly of the Fill.
pinos on Sept. IL in order to decide
upon the policy to be adopted by the
Insurgents.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press has had an interview with
Aguinaldo, who said there were
sixty.seven Thousand Insurgents
armed with rifles. He added he could
raise 100, 900 men. Indeed, the in.
surgent leader pointed out, the whole
population of the Philippine islands
vas willing to fight for their indie.
pendence.
Continuing, Aguinaldo said he had
5000 military prisoners, including 5000
in the vicinity of Manila, besides civil
prisoners.
Later Aguinaldo said the "provis.
ional government" was now operating
20 provinces. He asserted that on Aug.
2 they elected delegates in numbers
proportionate to the population. As to
the Americans, Aguinaldo remarked
that he considered them as brothers,
and that 1.-The two sovereign republics
were allied against . common enemy"
When questioned as to whether the
future Filipino policy would be abso.
Lutte Independence. Aguinaldo excused
himself from replying and asked what
America intends to do.
Fighting for Independence.
The correspondent being unable to
answer this question Aguinaldo con.
tinued:
1--WE have been fighting for indie.
pendence fer q long time. The natives
who profess to favor annexation are in.
sincere. 1t is merely a ruse to ascer.
tain American views"
Asked il the Filipinos would object
to the retention Of Manila Agulnaldo
declined to answer.
The whole interview conveyed the
impression that Aguinaldo desires alb
solute independence, regards the mis-
sion Of the Americans here as accom-.
plished and expects their withdrawal
lust as the French general, Lafayette,
withdrew after aiding the Americans
in the war of independence, q war of
humanity"
Just now Aguinaldo maintains the
role of extreme friendship.

The courtship Of a young couple NAV be

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that Sci
ence has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh cure is taken internally, /,
acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.
