HOW GENERAL MERRITT
 DEALT WITH AeulNALDo.
Would Not Encourage Him In Any Scheme and Asked No Assistnnce
 From Him or Ills Men.

London, Nov. F. General Wesley Merritt, of the United States army. who Is still in this city, has read with great deal Of interest the long letter of com plalnt against American officials in the Philippine islands addressed by the so- called Filipino junta of Hong Kong to President Mckinley and the people. In discussing the Filipinos the American general refers to them as "children, '' and says it will be impossible to estab- fish an American government on the is- lands. He adds that they must have some form of colonial government simi- lar to the British colonial governments. Regarding the complaints of the Filipi- nos, the general said
 'lt was impossible to recognize the insurgents and made it q point not to do so,as knew it would lead to complica- tions. Admiral Dewey pursued the same course. purposely did not recog- nize Aguinaldo or his trooas, nor did use them in any way. Aguinaldo did'no ask to sec me until 10 days after my arr rival. After that l was too much occu- pied to see him.
 s.In talking with leading Filipinos I told them the United States had no promises to make, but that they might be assured the government and tho peo- pie of the United States would treat them fairly. This is because the United States is i'll the habit of dealing fairly with all struggling people and not be- cause l had been authorized to say any thing of the kind.
 We purposely did not give tho insur- gents notice of our attack on Manila be- cause we did not need their cooperation and did not purpose to have it. We were moved by fears that they might loot and plunder and possibly murder. Aguinaldo's subordinate leaders were conversing with the American officers frequently, and said they intended to cut the threats of all the Spanish militia. Aguinaldo himself wrote complaining letter saying the insurgents had been de- nied their sharo of the booty, whatever he may have meant by that took no notice of th.s letter, nor do think tine subject now raised is matter for dit cussion bety cen Aguinaldo and any rep resentative of the American govern ment
