Manila, Jan. 9.-Withfn a few hours
of the proclamation issued by Maj. Gen.
Otis in behalf of President Mckinley,
the agents of Aguinaldo billed Manila
with manifesto which attracted con-
siderable attention. The revolutionary
president protested against Gen. Otis
signing himself military governor of
the. Philippine islands.
SAguinaldo, in his manifesto, declared
hehad never agreed at Singapore, Hong
Kong or elsewhere to recognize the
sovereignty of the Americans here, and
insists that he returned to the Philip
pines on an American ship solely to con-
quer the Spaniards and to win indie
pendence. He asserts that both his
proclama tons, of May "A and June IL
stated this fact officially. and he claims
that Maj. Gen. Merritt confirmed this
by#a proclamation several days before
theS Spaniards capitulated, stating
clearly and definitely that the Ameri-
can forcestcame to overthrow tbs, Span.
| ish government and liberate the Fill
pinos.
Says Americans snluted His Flag.
In conclusion. Aguinaldo declared he
had natives and foreigners as witnesses
that the American forces recognized
notsoniy by acts that the FiliDinos were
,beligerents, but by publicly saluting
the Filipino flag 'as it triumphantly
sailed these seas before the eyes of all
nations"
Aguinaldo then solemnly protested,
in the name Of the Deity, who empow-
cred him to direct his brethren in the
difficult task Of regeneration, against
tbesintrusion of the American govern
ment, and reiterated that he can pro-
duce proofs that he was brougl. here
on the understanding that the Ameri-
cans promised him their cooperation to
attain independ ence. &.
The revolutionary leader then called
upon all his followers to work together
with force and assured them he IS con-
