Manila, Sept. 1.-Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader, has issued a memorial
addressed to all the foreign powers re-
citing the fact that the Filipinos have
formed a government under the con-
stitution adopted on June 23.
He adds that the Filipino forces have
since carried on campaign of liberty,
taken forty provinces, and have re-
duced Manila. They have 1900 pris-
oners.
Peace and tranquility prevail in the
conquered provinces, and there is no
resistance to Aguinaldo's authority.
The campaign, the memorial says, was
conducted with due regard to the rules
of civilized warfare.
He asks for the recognition of the
independence of the Philippine Repub-
lie, or, falling in that, to grant the
Filipinos belligerent rights. The United
States are not mentioned in the me-
mortal.
