MANILA. Sept. l3.-Rear Admiral
Dewey says he considers the situation
critical. 1t is understood that he has
asked for an additional cruiser and bat
tleship.
The Spaniards' assert that Germany
will take o coal station here and that
Spain will retain the remainder Of the
islands.
The last Spanish garrisons at nicos
and Lgune have surrendered and the
whole island of Luzon is in the hands Of
the insurgents at Manila and Cavite.
Aguiualdo went to Lelelles ON Friday.
He has announced his intention of con-
vening an assembly of the FilipinOs on
Sept. 10, in order to decide upon the pol
icy to be adopted by the insurgents.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press has had an interview with
Aguinaldo who said there were $1,000
insurgents armed with rifles. He added
he could raise 100, 600 men. Indeed, the
insurgent leader pointed out, the whole
population of the Philippine islands was
willing to fight for their independence.
Continuing, AguinaldO said he had {, 900
military prisoners. including i, 900 in the
vicinity of Manila, besides civil prison
ers. Later AguinaldO said the ''provi-
siOnal government" was now operating
IS provinces. He asserted that ON
August I'd they elected delegates in
numbers proportionate to the population.
As to the Americans, AguinaldO re-
marked that he considered them as
brothers and that 1.-THE two sovereign
republics were allied against common
enemy"
The insurgent leader denied having
received request from General Otis
and Rear Admiral Dewey to withdraw
his troops to prescribed distance from
Manila and Cavitc and he declined to
discuss the effect of such request.
Aguinaldo further asserted that he had
never conflded with the American au-
thorities since the capitulation Of Man.
fla, and he had never authorized the in
surgents to search or disarm Americans
crossing the lines.
The whole interview conveyed the
impressiod that Aguinaldo desires abso-
lutte independence, regards the mission
of the Americans here as accomplished
and expects their withdrawal just as
the French with Lafayette withdrew
after helping the Americans in the war
of independence, a war of humanity.
Just now Aguinaldo maintains the
role of extreme friendship.
