Tolls the senate why He Changed His
Mine About the Philippines

Washington. Feb, |. senator Frye,
one of the United States Peace Com,
missioners, explained to the Senate
the reasons that induced him TO agree
to the acquisition of the Philippines.
They were:
tlrst-That Spanish authority in the
Philippines had been totally destroyed
since Dewey's victory on May !,
Second That the inhabitants OF the
Philippines, being divided among them.
selves, could not yet be entrusted with
the responsibilities Of the establishment
OF an independent government.
Third-That if It were permitted to
tho natives to now attempt tho forma-
ton OF an independent government,
they would become the prey of grasp.
ing foreign nations until there was
some strong hand to restrain outside
intrusion
Fourth That in the eyes Of all civil
lied nations the United States had as
summed certain duties and responsible
ties townrd the islands when this coun-
try destroyed Spanish supremacy there.
Mr. Frye said when he left the United
States to go to Paris he was absolutely
opposed to the idea OF the United States
retaining the Philippine Archipelago
as Il possession.

Washington, Feb. /. AeoneilIo the
representative OF Aguiualdo, author
lied the following statement concern
ing u published report that the Govern
ment had Intercepted dispatches from
him to Aguinaldo, in which he advised
that the leiliplnos would have to fight
for their independence and that now
was the time to act: The statement
is absolutely false, and is calculated to
excite feeling and luminosity in this
country and to prejudice the Philippine
cause. No such telegram has ever been
sent BY me, and for that reason no such
telegram could have been intercepted.
The fnlsity of the statement is shown
by the fact that have cabled my Coy
crnmcnt to continue the same frieud-
ship which was born on the battlefield
against spain. The Philippine people
have no wish and no purpose to fight
against the Americans unless they are
driven TO II. Their only desire ia to
strengthen the bonds now existing.
