GIVEN 40 HOURS TO LEAVE.
AsuinaldO Orders All Foreigners 10 Depart
from lnsursent Territory.

Manila. May BE. 20 +. M.-Aguinal-
do has issued orders that all foreign
ers must leave insurgent territory
within As hours: There are only few
commercial men there. mostly English
and Germans. but Aguinaldo believes
that by refusing them the rights of
non-combatants he can force their gov
ernments to recognize the belligerency
of his so-called government, in order
that they may treat for the safety of
their subjects.
A Filipino priest who had talked with
the Tagal general. Treas, has brought
To FIR. McKinnon. chaplain of the LIST
California regiment. a copy of a letter
written by Aguinaldo to Gen. Treas
asking his opinion as to the advisable
ity of surrendering, saying:
Il fear that the long warfare that
will be necessary to conquer the United
States will drain the country's re-
sources too much"

CLAIMS OF FOREIGNERS
For Damages in Cuba Already Filed Amount.
ing to Several Million.

Washington, May 1.-THE state de-
partment has been informally advised
that claims aggregating a considerable
amount have been made by British,
French and German residents in Cuba
during the recent insurrection and that
these ultimately will be pressed against
the United States government. tn"
claims themselves have not yet been
presented but are being collected by the
several foreign offices as the claimants
send them in. In some cases sched-
ules have been made and the aggre-
gate stated to the authorities here.
The French claims aggregate between
$1,000, 600 and 15000.000 francs. The
German claims are understood TO be
slightly under those Of the French,
while the British claims are said to be
considerably more than either the
French or German.
These foreign claims are quite dis
tinct from those of citizens of the
United states originally against Spain
for damages sustained in Cuba during
the instruction. The peace treaty
specifically provided for these Ameri-
can claimants releasing Spain ana
stating that the United States would
make such settlement as was proper.
Under this clause claims aggregating
several millions have been filed.
No provision. however, was made by
the treaty for foreign claimants ana
there appears to be much doubt as TO
who is liable since the sovereignty over
cuba has passed out of the hands OF
Spain. The United states having I'M
dertaken to look after the American
claimants. the foreigners are DESTROYS
Of being treated in the same manner
II was stated at one of the foreign es-
Establishments that there was no dlSpo-
sitting to push the claims unduly. but
10 bring them to the attention OF the
United states government in order that
the question of liability might be de-
termined and such relief granted as the
merits Of the cases warranted.
If is appreciated in these foreign
,nort.rs that payments will be largely
= motter of discretion with the United
states as the obligation to look after
the American claimants was assumed
voluntarily and there is no obligation
either in the treaty or on general pfln-
c;niae IF law for assuming the claims
growing out of SPANS inability to
maintain order in Cuba during the
period of Spanish rule.
These foreign claims cover damages
- nIantations. personal property. etc.
AZ French British and German resi-
dents of Cuba and are not connected

eign hands which debt was assumed py

jeered by the American soldiers, but
they were meat for the Filipinos. They
were translated and sent to the insur-
gent camps.
Il have no hesitation in saying that
this agitation has been responsible for
the loss of American soldiers, for with
out such encouragement Aguinaldo
would never have been able to assem-
BILE and arm 50 large an army.
Some of the pamphlets circulated
systematically contained stories Of our
Indian wars and other accounts of
negro lynchings in the South. The
Filipinos were told that we would make
slaves Of them and would treat them
far worse than Spain had done. I do
not think that AguinaldO himself used
these arguments. He relied more on
the rational development of desire
for independence among the natives.
He fostered that idea, and told his fol-
lowers that the American people would
not back up the attitude of the troops
and the administration.
THE campaign has been a remarka-
BILE one. and in my opinion is about
over. In spite Of hot weather and nat

has been accomplished. Admiral
Dewey, is held in as high respect among
all classes, native and foreign, as he is
at home.
If he had been given plenipotentiary
powers a the outset, l think he could
have settled the whole business. The
Filipinos saw him enter the harbor and
destroy SPANS ships. and that object
lesson was not lost upon them. They
looked upon the American soldiers as
they did upon those of Spain. and ii
was not until after the first weeks
fighting that they realized the differ
ence.
"Our troops We're in good condition
when ] left. Fighting improved their
health so per cent. There is one thing
that can be said Of them--not a sign of
weakness has been shown by any regi-
men or any company. Volunteers
fought like regulars and regulars as
