"There are moro than 20 different

would give them great power, and many
Of his soldiers like the war because for
the first time in their lives they have
authority to carry q gun. They live by
taking what they want from the people.
Many Of them are robbers, who rob de-
fenseIess people Of their money and
sometimes murder them. II we should
withdraw there would be warfare and
anarchy in the islands and the well -to-do
would get some strong government to
come and take control.
"Aguinaldo publishes paper, which
IS filed with expressions from people OF
the United States who are .alled anti
imperialists, the insurrection would be
