INDEPENDENCE AT ALL COSTS
Is the Predominant Feeling of the Cubans
at Havana, 1t Is Said.

Havana, Sept. 16.-The predominant
feature of the situation is the feverish
and widespread agitation of the Gu
bans in favor of the absolute independ-
ence of the island at all costs. Nanifes-
tos are being circulated inviting the CO.
operation of Spanish residents and mer-
chants to this end, and pointing out
that either annexation or an American
protectorate would mean death to trade
with Spain in couple of years. Gen
eral Gomez, who only a fortnight ago
gave expression to extremely moderate
views, counselling harmony and pa
thence, now expresses himself as strong
Iy in favor OF absolute independence
or nothing" He says the Spanish ele-
ment cannot afford to delay uniting
with the Cubans as a necessary basis
for the establishment of conditions that
will forbid and prevent the United
states grabbing and taking easy advan-
tage of the treasure both Spaniards and
Cubans have fought for at an expense
of rivers of blood on each side
General Gomez says, if report speaks
truly, that those who fear independ-
ence belong to the same family of cow
ardly ours who fed from Havana at the
first rumor of bombardment." These.
he declares, are, however, a minority;
and. to quote him further, almost the
entire Spanish population remains, pro-
tecting their homes and defying the
dangers of war. and Will now remain to
unite their efforts with those of the
Cuban party, working together with the
Cubans for the development of the ISL
and and the return of prosperity"
This violent impetus given to the agi-
tation for independence is the result.
apparently, of the arrival of Porter and
the examination he is making into tar
ifs, municipal taxation and other mat
tors of internal government which the
Cubans had expected to handle and ad-
minister themselves. Porter's opera
tions are viewed with suspicion by an
important section of the Cubans, who
keep on calling meetings and protesting
against "usurpation of privileges
purchased at such a sacrifice" They
insist upon absolute freedom, unre
strained liberty, or a fight to the death.

Filipino Chief Contin ues to Make Himself

London, Sept. 16.-The Manila corre-
spondent of The Times. teIegraphing
yesterday, says: Il am the only foreign
journalist present at the insurgeRt con-
gress at Malolos, which has been Sc
iected as the temporary capital of the
revolutionary government. Early this
afternoon Aguinaldo, accompanied by a
large staff of generals and ministers,
moved in state from the convent now
occupied as his military headquarters,
passing between lines of infantry and
through streets decorated with palms
and banners and packed with thou
sands of peasants in holiday dress, to
the church half a mile distant.
Here he was received by the as
sembly delegates and conducted to
platform in the chancel. from which he
delivered brief message in the Tagalon
language, afterward repeating it in
Spanish The substance OF the message
was mostly congratulatory on the happy
termination of the revolution and the
complete conquest of the territory. He
made a fiowery appeal to the delegates,
asking them, by the memory of the
ilIustrious patriots of Philippine his
tory, to follow the example of England,
America and France in preparing con-
stituticn and pDomulgating laws to Sc

cure the complete ana permanent 1iber-
ty of the people of the Philippines.
The message excited but little enthusi-
asm, because it WAS absolutely nom
committal.
THE assembly then proceeded imme-
diately to organize preparatory to a
discussion on the proposed constitution
and code of laws and the election OF a
president. The absence of several of
the most prominent and influential ma
tives was particularly noticeable, as in
6icating an intention to hold aloof until
the p6&cy of the congress is fully de-
clared. 4 strong party, intoxicated by
the present measure of success, favors
opposition to any foreign protector
ate, being confident that the people can
govern themselves. Wiser counsellors
strenuously oppose such a suicidal pol
