Aguinaldo Says the Party FaVOrS Him.
THE UNITED STATES TO KEEP PROM
ISES MADE IF NOT WRITTEN.
And Pray to God for Democratic Success
He DenOunces "Imperialists' Instead
of Americans" aSin Documents

Manila, Oct. THE Tennessee Regl-
ment, the last of the volunteers, will sail
for the United States tomorrow on board
the Transport Indiana after week passed
in tie harbor. Most of the year these
troops have been stationed in the southern
islands. Their colonel says they are in
excellent health and have been much
benefited by service.
Six hundred and thirty men will sail.
Three officers and ninety-one men will re-
main to enter into business here; sixteen
officers and one hundred and sixty-fve
men have been discharged for re-enlist-
ment. Two men were killed in action and
one was killed accidentiy. Captain Leg
and and seven men died of disease.
Aguinaldo, in a proclamation announc-
ing the release of the American prisoners
and authorizing the Filipino soldiers in
the nothern province to return to their
homes, says:
GREAT PARTY FOR HIM.
"In America there is great party that
insists on the government recognizing
Filipino independence. that party will
compel the United States to fulfill the
promises made to US in all solemnity and
good faith though not put into writing.
''Therefore we must show our gratitude
and hold our position more resolutely
y
than eseF We should pray to Sod that
the great Democratic party may win the
next presidential election and imperialism
fail in its mad attempt to subject us by
force of arms. There are some Americans
in the Philippines who have joined us be-
cause they do not approve of a war of
what Mr. Atkinson calls criminal aggres-
sion.' When offered chance to return
to their own camp, they declined"
NOT AMERICANS.
Throughout the proclamation, Aguinaldo
denounces ''the imperalists" instead OF
"the Americans" as in former documents.
He calls the world to witness that the
Fllipincs have not broken "the alliance
made With the Americans through Admi-
raj Dewey and the United States consuls
at Hong Kong and Singapore. ="
The people on seeing the American
prisoners, cried out: "We do not want
war against the United States, we only
defend our independence against the i'm
peralists. The sons of that mighty nation
are our friends"

DEWEY COMING SOUTH.
Accepts the Invitation 10 Visit Atlanta.

Washington, October T. Admiral
Dewey promised committee of citizens
of Atlanta that he would soon visit that
CITY. The Admiral assured his callers also
that he would gladly preside at the pre-
sentation of the sword voted by the
people of the state Of Georgia to Lieuten-
ant Bfumby, the Admral's flag officer.
The trip TO Atlanta will be made in the
near future, as soon as the admiraIs en-
gagements will premit.
The Atlanta committee was headed by
Major J. G Woodward, and numbered
among its members many influential citi-
zens of the Gate City, including Repre-
sentative L. G. Livingston, Mr.. Clark
Howell, editor oft the Atlanta Constitution;
MIR. f. A. Richardson, editor of the
Atlanta Journal.
The delegation arrived in Washington
last night, and called on Admiral Dewey
at the Mclean residence at 10 O'Clock this
morning. The visitors were introduced by
Mr.. Livingston, who stated the object of
the call. Admiral Dewey at once spoke
up, saying that he heard of the tribute that
the people of Georgia intended to pay TO
Lieutenant Brumby, and said that he
would gladly accept the invitation to visit
Atlanta.
Admiral Dewey said to the committee
that they could not honor Lieutenant
Brumby too highly. He said that 1t
would be a qualification to HIM to present
the sword to his flag lieutenant.
The date of the ceremony was left open
to suit the convenience of the Admiral.
He saidIhe would probably not be able to
% South until sometime in. November.
His present engagements carry him pretty
well up to that time.
The committee was enthusiastic over
the cordiality Of its reception by Admiral
Dewey and the interest he manifested in
the forthcoming Brumbiy presentation
ceremony. The occasion of the sword
presentation to this young officer, who has
figured so prominently in connection will
Admiral Deweys achievements, will be q
gala one in Atlanta, one in which the
whole South will join.
The Atlanta delegation afterwards visit
ed the War and Navy Departments, and
by special courtesy Of Commander Baird
superintendent of the building and custo
dian of the sword presented to Admiral
Dewey By Congress, was permitted ex'
anime that magnificent gift.
During their visit to the War L Fart
ment the committee made an earnest re
quest of AZ Secretary Meiklejohr
against the exec, on of the recent ordel
for the abolition of the Department Of it
headquarters in Atlanta. Mr.. MeikIejoh1
explained that the action was taken be
cluse it was felt that there was no longe
any necessity for the continuance of tina
military department, which had simpl!
been organized as war measure. A

"NEvER STRUCK IT'S coLoRs. ;"

"Our national credit, often tried, has
been ever upheld. 1t has no superior and
no stain. The United States has never
repudiated a national obligation, either to
It's creditors or to humanity. 1t will not
now begin to do either. 1t never struck
blow except for civilization, and never
struck its colofs.
''The republic ia sturdier and stronger
than ever before. Government by the
people has been advanced. Freedom I'M
der the flag is more universal than when
the Union was founded. Our steps have
been forward, not backward. From
Plymouth Rock to the Philippines, the
grand triumphant march Of human liberty
has never paused"
Fraternity and union are deeply inn
bedded in the hearts of the American
people. For half century before the
Civil War disunion was the fear of men
Of all sections That word has gone out
of the American vocabulary. 1t is spoken
now only as historical memory. North,
South, East and West were never so weld
ed together, and while they may differ
about internal politics, they are all for the
Union and the maintenance Of the integri
ty of the flag
"Has patriotism died out in the hearts
of the people? Witness the 250,0G0 men
sprineing to arms in day, organized into
regiments for the Spanish war, and mil
lion more ready to respond, and the more
recent enlistment of 20, 900 men, with
many other thousands anxious to enlist,
but whose services were not needed. Has
American heroism declined? The shatter-
ed and sinking fleets of the Spanish navy
at Santiago, the charge of San Juan and
Ell Caney, and the intrepid valor and de-
termination of our gallant troops in more
than forty engagements in Luzon attest
the fact that the American soldier and
sailor have lost none of tie qualities which
made our earlier army and navy illustrous
and invincible.
CATER 123 years the pyramid stands
unshaken. 1t has had some severe
shocks, but it remains immovable. 1t has
endured the storms Of war only to be
stronger. 1t stands frmer and gives greater

PARLIAMENT MEETS BRITISH GOVERN
MENT WILL BE IN A DILEMMA.
Manchester, England. Oct. 10.-The
Gardian says there is growing dissatisGac-
ton among the supporters Of the govern
ment at the slow progress made in the
Transvaal affair. The Guardian says the
fact is the Beers are PLAYING a game that
battles the calculations Of the war mongers,
making things awkward for the minister
ialists who desire to force conclusions by
holding on to the defensive and not begin
ming hostilit!es.
1t will be only week till the parlia-
ment meets and if the Beers rossess their
souls in patience the government will be
placed in a dilemma. Is it notorious that
the war party in the cabinet are i'll close

whose earnest wish is that President kru-
ger should show fight, and that by some
way an irrevocable blow he struck be-
fore parliament can sQy anything. But it
turns out that the British were not in &
position to take the initiative and Gen
eral Joubert's cautious tactics have pre-
vente any steps on the other side.
