FILIPINO JUNTO SORE
TRYING TO MAKE AMERICANS AP-

Statement from the HOng-Kong Plot
ters-PrisOners Said to Have Been
RcIeased-RepOrt from Otis.

HONG-KONG, Feb. 3.--The Filipino Junto
here has issued the following statement:
simultaneously with the proclamation of
the republic Aguinaiao released the Spanish
war prisoners as an act of grace.
THE Spanish imposition of the poll tax
is enforced by the Americans with greater
severity. Formerly the poorest paid 50 and
the rich $37. Now the lowest pay s. and the
rich $lO0, which is greatly exasperating the
people Gambling, cock fighting, bribing,
squeezing and the Americans abuses of the
customs are causing Generalization. The
Spanish corrupt despotic system seems to
be the model of the American executive.
"The Manila Filipinos are indignant at the
notion of the American journals that they
will tamely submit to be experimental with
by amateur colonial administrators, and
hope the decision of the United States SEN
ate on Monday will be of nature to satisfy
their aspirations as frequently expressed"
