AGUINALpo APPEALS TO THE POWERS.

RECOGNITION OF FILIPINO INDEPENDENTS
AsKED-OLD ARGUMENTS USED AGAIN.
Manila. Aug. 8. $50 o. m.-Aguinaldo has ap-
pealed to the Powers for recognition OF Filipino
Independence" in n document dated from Tarlac.
July q and signed by Buencamino. 1t has been
received by all the foreign consuls in Manila
with the request that they forward IL 10 thelr
respective governments
The FIlipnos use their old argument that they
had conquered the sovereignty of these islands
from Spain before the signing of the Treaty of
Paris and therefore Spain was in no position to
cede them 10 the United States. They argue
that the possession of seven thousand Spanish
prisoners. captured with their arms. fighting
against the Filipinos us eloquent proof Of the
pu,lity of Spanish sovereignty. as when they
surrendered SPANS hold was irrevocably lost"
The document then says:
Replying to the Spanish commissions re-
ouests to release the prisoners because Spain
no longer has political interests in the islands
we asked for a treaty Of peace and friendship
between Spain and the Fipnos. whereby the
prisoners would be released But the commits
sioners refused because 1t would mean recogni-
ton OF our independence. This is equivalent to
saving that the prisoners must stay In our hands
indefinitely. because their possession is our most
ef1cacious method to adjust our account with
srain and obtain from her recognition Of our In
dependence"
The Filipinos say that they conquered all the
country except Manila and that they co-operated
in securing the atter's capitulation by surround
ing II at the cost OF thousands of lives. They
also say they conquered the country unassisted
except for sixty guns that Admiral Dewey gave
Aguinaldo. and that Admiral Dewey and the
British and Belgian Consuls recognized the Fill
pinos' sovereignty by asking for passes to visit
the country. They repeat the claim that they
have letters from American consuls and gen
erals recognizing their sovereignty and promis-
ing that the Americans would recognize their in
dependence (which was at the disposition OF the
Powers"
The Filioinos attempt to make capital or the
statement that Admiral Dewey had such conf
dence that Aguinaldo would observe and fulfil
Spanish prisoners which the American Navy
had captured.
Finally the Filipinos appeal to the Powers TO
influence Washington 10 bring to termination
"the unjust war which Is devastating the coun-
try"
The authorities at Madrid have ordered the
Spanish commissioners not TO return 10 Tarlac.
and II is reported two special commissioners
Seniors Capres and Cuerbo-are on their way
here from Spain to conduct the negotiations.

Manila, Aug 2 via Hong Kong).-The guhooat

near Santa Cruz. The town was full OF people
who had been encouraged TO return after Cen
eral Lawton's expedition. having been assured
that they would not be molested II they peace

TO escape. One child was killed and many bullo-

great regret on account Of the incident.
After the taking of Calamba by the Americans
General Lawton ordered that Captain Otis, OF
the Washington regiment. be relieved or his
command and placed under arrest on account OF
the slowness and seeming reluctance OF the
companies under his command in obeying the
order 10 disembark from the cascoes and wade
through the marshes under fire. The men say
that a majority of them have been sick and I'M
fit for duty and understood that they would not
be asked to do any more fighting.

hibiting the expectation Of horses or ponies
Some time ago General Otis made a requisi-

In the dispatch that the horses from the ISLANDS
were not satisfactory. and that contracts Tor

He then referred to the state Department for
investigations and Minister Conger. on June D.
wrote a letter to Secretary Hay. inclosng the
correspondence that had passed between the
Chinese Foreign once and himself relative to
the refusal OF China to allow the ponies TO be
exported
1t appears from this correspondence tnat H.

seventy-fve ponies and twenty-five muies' pu'

Coneer upon investigation found that the re-

the exnort Of horses and ponies. Russia has re-
ceiyed refusal as well other countries ana
the Chinese Foreign once said 1t could not
make an exception in favor OF the United STATES
No suggestion is made that the ponies are con-
