TREACHERY OF AMERICANS.
How They Assisted Aguinaldo to Sc
cure Arms and Ammunition.

New York, June ga special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says:
Captain Joseph Henry Grimes has
made a complete confession of the part
he took in aiding the Filipinos and the
document is in the possession of the
government. He is a British subject,
born in Hongkong Twenty-Five years
ago. He was office manager at Shang-
hal for T. S. Etzel & Co, and there
became acquainted with the agents of
the Filipino rebellion.
On June Z. Grimes firm contracted
with Agoncillo to supply 5000 Mauser
rifles, two Maxim guns, 100000 cart
ridges. steamer Pasig and provisions.
ETC., at cost of $685. GOO. The outfit was
seized by the British authorities at the
request of the Spanish consul.
Then, says Grimes, B. F. Sylvester,
a member of his firm, arranged with
Edward Bedlo, American consul at
Canton. to send the arms to that point
by means of a false statement to the
Chinese government. The Chinese
viceroy was to reject the arms, but as
it turned out, he seized $500 and kept
them to suppress a rebellion in his own
territory
The local authorities requested per-
mission for the Pasig to-sail. She was
register by Consul Bedlo, her name
changed to the Abbey, and Bedlo
cleared her and the supplies for the
Filininos for Singapore. On Aug. "a,
the Abbey flying the American flag
and commanded by Captain g. w. Ell
lis, an American citizen, left Wham-
poa, fifteen miles from Canton. On
board was Lewis Leonard EtZel, the
American citizen whose mission it was
to teach the Filipinos how to use the
Maxim guns.
Sylvester, Grimes asserts, falsely told
him that the facts about the expedi-
ton were known to Admiral Dewey
and Consul General Wildman.
The cargo was taken to Santangas,
eighty miles south of Manila and turn
ed over to the insurgent governor of
that town. 1t consisted of 1876 rifles,
900 cartridges, two Maxim guns and
1000 rounds of Maxim ammunition.
After discharging their cargo. Grimes
went to Bacoor, where he met Aguin-
aldo. who said he wanted more am
munition. Grimes returned to Hong
kong, but was not successful in his
further plans. Sylvester visited Aguin-
aldo, but failed to conclude a contract
with him to procure arms in Germany.
1T will be seen by the above state
ment," Grimes said, that both Sylves-
ter and EtZel plotted on American soil
against the American government"
The Abbey was seized about Sept. %
last by the American revenue cutter
McCulloch, which was attached to Ad-
miral 'Dewey's fleet, Grimes was ar
rested in Manila on Nov. 8.

United States.

Hongkong. June admiral Dewey
left the Peak Hotel and returned to the

paid farewell calls TO the governor
General GaScoigne, and the command
ers of the warships in the harbor
Admiral Dewey's health has been
considerably benefited by his residence
at the Peak. He has refused all So
cial invitations and has taken perfect
rest. He appears somewhat haggard
from the effects of the continual strain
he has been under and of the climate
The Olympia will said at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, but Admiral
Dewey will not give farewell dinner,
nor wkill he accept one.
1t is hoped the quiet change and the
voyage will quite restore him to
health by the time he reaches New
York. The details of the ports at
which he will call are still undecided
but it is probably stops will be made
at Singapore and Colombo. The adj
miral seems anxious TO avoid all dis
play and merely to seek rest. His Off
GERS and crew are elated at the pros
poets of return home.

tory, l invite you to one conclusion
an inevitable conclusion-namely that
what there may have been OF expense,
OF loss OF life, of physical suffering and
of permanent impairment OF health in
the men comprising our army, is due to
the aggressive war policy OF the United
States. And can there be doubt, the
shadow OF a Ioubt, as to the truthful.
ness Of this further proposition? That
the war would have come to an end
at any moment ii the president had said
to Aguinaldo: "Set up your govern
ment and we will retire." Why has not
this been said? The answer is on the
surface. 1t is the purpose OF the presi-
dent to seize and to hold the Philip
pines by the strong hand of conquest
TO subjugate or to exterminate the ma
tives, and there are indications that the
two events may coincide in respect to
time
In the month OF November last the
anti-imperialists were asked for a plan.
and in a way that implied lack Of
faith III our ability to furnish a plan.
Time having been taken we are now able
TO submit our plan. With it we appeal
to the country in the belief that the two
main propositions involved in our plan
will be acceptable to the people. I. We
demand the re-enthronement OF the
truths Of the Declaration OF Independ-
ence TO their former place in the hearts
of the people and in the public policy
of the United States. For that we shall
strive. 2. We demand distinct dis
avowal OF any purpose OH the part OF
the United States to accept the colonial
policy OF Great Britain.
Hence, we have set forth our pur
pose i'll regard to the Philippine islands
in these words:
I. The Anti1mperialist League de-
mands the suspension OF hostilties i'll
the Philippines.
?. The League insists that it is the
duty OF congress TO tender an official
assurance to the country and to the in
habitants OF the Philippines that the
United States will encourage the organ
ization Of such government as may be
agreeable to the people of the islands
and that upon its organization the Unit
ed States will, in accordance with its
traditional and prescriptivc policy in
such cases, recognize ii as an independ-
ent and equal state among nations.
This is our platform, and whether il
is needed or dcrded, it has in it the
quality OF Immortality. Until an end
shall have been reached the contest
must be over these two propositions
and the end cannot be reached until
these two propositions shall have been
accepted by the country.
