AGr1NALDo'S PROCLAMATIONs.
TWO BOMBAsTIC UTTERANCES BY TIL
FILIPINO LEADER

TWO BOMBAsTIC UTTERANCES BY THE
FILIPINO LEADER
Manila. Feb. 7-Aguinaldos proclamation Of
Saturday SAYS:
Y order and command
''First-That peace and friendly relations with
the Americans be broken and that the lauer De
treated as enemies. within the limits prescribed
by the laws Of war
"Second-That the Americans captured be held
rs prisoners OF war
"Third-That this proclamation be communl-
Gated to the consuls, and that Congress order
and accord a suspension Of the constitutional
guarantee. resulting from the declaration OF
war"
Aguinaldo's proclamation Of Monday says the
outbreak Of hostilities was "unjustly and unex-
pectedly provoked by the Americans refers TO
his manifesto Of January & publishing the al
legged grievances of the Filipinos at the hands
Of the army Of occupation. and the constant
outrages and taunts which have been causing
misery TO the Manilans," and refers to the use
less conferences" and contempt shown for the
Filipino Government" as proving a "premedi-
tated transgression Of Justice and liberty
The rebel leader also refers to the former
losses Of the Filipnos. but says slavery is bit
ter" and calls upon them 10 sacrifice all upon
the altar OF honor and natlonal integrity.
He insists that he tried 10 avoid, as far as pos
sible an armed conflict, but adds that all his
efforts were useless before the unmeasured
pride Of the American representatives, whom
he charges with having treated him a rebel,
because defended the interests OF my coun-
try and would not become the instrument Of
their dastardly intentions Aguinaldo CON
cudes with saying:
BE not discouraged Our independence was
watered freely by the blood Of martyrs, and
more will be shed in the future TO strengthen IL.
Remember that efforts not wasted that ends
be gained II is indispensable TO adjust our
actions to the rules of law and right and to
learn n triumph over our enemies

GENERAL MERRITTs OPINION.

Major General Wesley Merritt. who commanded
the United States land forces in the Philippines in
operations against the Spaniards last July. at the
Waldorf Astoria said last night that he feared the
trouble in the Philippines would from this time on
be intermittent and vexatious, and although thu
blow dealt Aguinaldo and his followers crush
ing II would hardly end their rebellous purposes
or put a stop to their hostile demonstrations.
81 think" he added. now that our forces have
gained such a signal victory that the advantage
should he energetically pushed, until the Filipnos
are entirely subdued. Agunaldo and his people
need a good lesson. and now is the time 10 give It
10 them
General Merritt says he thinks General Otis ought
10 have 30 900 men, and spoke in the highest terms OF
the discipline courage and morale OF the American
Army in the Philippines He said 1t was bound
10 be victorious in every undertaking. He also
said that Aguinaldo was not without rivals for
leadership among the insurgents and that this set
back was likely 10 create hostility TO his leader
ship and open factiona quarres that would tsnd 70
hasten the absolute disintegra ton and dowptalI OF
the hostile natives He said that Dewey ana Oiis
were masterful leaders. and that the conditions
there would be met with precision and promptness.

AsTOR BATTERY MEN TO MEET.

Many members OF the Astor Battery regret
that the organization left the Philippines Just
before the real struggle came on, and are anx-
ious TO go back. Captain March. who was In
command Of the battery. is not in the city but
T. Bruce Esty. secretary Of the battery said
Yesterday: when the members of the battery
enlisted It was for active service and not garri-
son duty, and every one Of us was anxious TO
stay Just as long as there was any fighting to do
A great many OF the boys desired to have their
discharges issued at Manila. that they might be
on hand II there were any lighting TO do;
but this was not allowed and so we had TO start
when ordered. II there Is any need OF trained
men, we will gladly offer our services with
his end in view, we expect a meeting OF the
battery to be held Just as soon as We can get
out a call and get the men together"

NATIVE TREACHERY REVEALED
MANY ARMED F1LIPINos CAPTURED in
MANILA

Manila, Feb. There are many Indications
ybat Manila is full of desperadoes who had IN
tended TO cooperate with Aguinaldo Inc po-
lice are continually capturing men ana women
with weapons concealed in their clothing Inc
vigilance Of the authorities in this respect Is
highly reassuring.
Last Saturday about midnight, two Enslsh-
men accidentally encountered a gang OF arneu
natives in a dark side street The natives fear
ing discovery, imprisoned them until morning
and threatened 10 kill them unless they NAM
tanned silence. 80
Many native clerks, employed by meroah''e
houses are missing. As 1t is Impossible tha'
they should have passed the lines, the inference
A that they are in hiding in the city.
Several attempts were made to assassiha'e
Americans on the streets but there is little dan
ger. The natives are terribly cowed. and the
precautions taken. especially against incendiar-
ism. are admirable
The rebels who have been swept IN every Ill
rection like pheasants IN battue. die by nun
dreds in the trenches for the most part pas
uively. except the Igorotes who charge desper-
stely and uselessy
The rebel prisoners declare that their attach
was unpremeditated. that the outposts fired ana
then everybody followed in accordance with
bort Of general understanding.

A JrNTA MEMBERS VIEWS.
PERFECTLY CLEAR" HE SAYS. THAI
AMERICANS WERE AGGREssoRs.

"PFRFECTIY CLEAR" HE SAYS, THAT
AMERICANS WERE AGGREssoRs.
London. Feb THE President Of the Euro
peen Filipino Junta, IN an interview to-day
said
1T is perfectly clear that the unfortunate
hostities at Manila were occasioned by an at
tempt OF the Nebraskans TO find a pretext TO
obtain control Of the Singalon water-works
The Americans for months have endeavored
fruitlessly to induce the Filiplnos TO withdraw
from those works, as the latter fully recog-
nized their immense strategic Importance. BY
the destruction Of the villages between the sea
and the river bank the Americans secured
vast. open space from which Manila might
otherwise have been attacked under cover
AS the Americans have captured the water
works. the FIlipinos will now have to retire
to the mountains Of San Mateo and Boso-boso
which, as they are only an hours distance
command the capital. and 1t will be Impossible
10 dislodge them from there
The whole Filipino strength will now be de-
voted TO the protection Of the country outside
OF Manila. as Aguinaldo is aware that even Il
he captured the city he could not hold IL Win
American warships in the bay ,.. .o-
The Americans Will also have 10 depend loa
their food supply shipments from ABROAD as
the insurgents will effectually cut of the sup
plies from the interior 49,,
The Filipino agent concluded with asserting
that 'Agoncillo Aguinaldos agent IN AfneIlOa7
and the European Junta had unceaslngly ad-
yised Aguinaldo not TO begin hostilities. lie
added however that the Fiipinos regarded the
landing Of American achievements as a thredt
and this added TO the proclamation or Geherai
otis refusing political rights 10 the natives and
putting into operation a military regime mao
strained native opinion 10 the breaking point.

EAGER FOR AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS THINK THE
FILIPINOS SHOULD BE TAUGHT
A SHARP LESSON

A SHARP LESSON
Washington, Feb. There is unanimous
opinion among both Army and Navy officers
here as to the need OF an Immediately aggres-
slve campaign in the Philippines Without eH-
ception the hope is expressed that General GUS
will be allowed to follow up the blow against 'he
Fllipinos who have violated the truce, ana give
them a salutary chastisement while the memory
Of their defeat is still fresh in mind one ofncer
who has done as much Indian campaigning as
almost any man in the service said to-day dis
cussng the situation:
Every day that is lost in following up the blow
at the insurgents means an added ten men 10
the American death list when the hnal SUM
ming up Of the Philippine situation IS maze.
The Philippine natives are ike all nalI-sdVase
people They are governed in their aggression
by nothing but fear Of being whipped by their
enemy. and they cannot understand any lot
bearance on the part Of an opponent except on
the theory that he Is afraid OF them. We nave
had the same thing for thirty years in our own
Indian wars. The British have had the same
thing in India and Africa, and so nave all the
Caucasian races wherever they have had 10 zeal
with half-civilized peoples We lost more men
and killed more Indians in the west through
the mild, temporiZng and supposedly humane
policy Of successive Administrations than we
ever would have lost in a few sharp, souno
thrashings administered In successive allopathlc
doses, just 10 show the untutored savage thar
we meant business and would whip MN nrst
and treat him right afterward. .,-
When the Government abandoned the old MIX
River route, as II was called. through the north
ern Sioux country and evacuated the lands 10
the Indians by treaty. IT really precipitated the
whole Of the great Sioux uprising that Included
the Custer massacre This may sound harsh
and prejudced but the fact is that I'm spite OF
the treaty and powwows the Indians thought
we withdrew from their country because We
were afraid of them and they went TO burning
abandoned military stations and as there was
nobody there 10 stop them and nobody cared
whether they burned them or not, they went
from that to the warpath and began wiping out
settlements outside their concession.
The case is Just the same to-day in the Philip
pines Ii is unfortunate for them that the ma
tlves can't understand a humane policy on the
part Of this Government, or that we intend 10
deal honestly with them Forbearance on our
part now simply means to them that we are
afraid Of them, and the quicker we whip them
thoroughly and disabuse their minds the sooner
we can enter on an era OF peaceful reconstruc-
ton and reform
