York on Saturday to. as he alleges. re
sumo his duties as representative of the
Filipino government at Washington. In an
interview he said:
The only portion of the Spanish-Ameri-

the cession of the Philippines, which Is
illegal, as the Spaniards lost their sOver-
eighty over the islands. and the Americans
cannot dispose Of the future Of the archi-
pelago without consulting the Fiioinos
Their consent, by popular vote. Is neces-
sary. As universal suffrage forms the basis
OF the American constitution, the United
States cannot carry out this measure.
THE result Of the peace commissions
deliberations is only satisfactory 10 US
inasmuch as Spain is turned out of the
Philippine islands.

oners. telegraphed 20 Aguinaldo on the
subject and 1 hereby declare it 70 be IN
true that they are held for ransom

sale of the islands as being nonsensica&

end any attempt to sell the Philippines to
any foreign power. We are anxious TO be

Americans. but beyond this we are deter
mined at all hazards to remain independ-
