AGUISALDOs LAST PROCLAMATION.
A Prayer for tho Success Of the Democrats
Mt the Recent Election.

VANCOUVER. h. c.. Nov 10.-Aguinaldo has
issued another proclamation. In 1t he says:
In America there IL great party that insists
on the United States Government recognizing
Filipino Independence. They will compel their
country to fulfill the promises made to us in al
solemnity and faith although not put into writ
ing. For this reason We must show our graft
tude and maintain our position more reso-
lutely than ever,
I'VE therefore pray to God on high that the
great Democratic party OF the United States
will win the next election and that imperialism
will fail in its mad attempts to subjugate US by
force OF arms. We may base our hopes on the
richt feeling OF the American people.
There are. moreover some Americans here
In the Philippines who have Joined our side
because they disapprove Of the war which Mr..
Atkinson calls criminal aggression. and these
Amer caus. when offered the chance TO return
to their own camp, have declined"
After cxhortlng his countrymen to die Tor In,
dependenee he concluded; on my BELOVED
mes. Of oSr virgin mother mother .s country
You handful Of ashes to scatter
over her naked beauties to hide them
from view. lest they excite the passions
OF strangers and cause her to be outraged. In
concius on | repeat to my compatriots that
they should conceal the beauties OF the Philip
pines and the riches OF the country In order
that the grasping imperialists should not
cause Us any more rrouh'e and weshall enjoy
everlasting peace. EMILIO AouISALpo."
