Now for the first time rose the idea
Of national independence. Aguinaldo
issued a proclamation in which he took
the responsibility of promising it to
his people on behalf of the American
government. although he admitted free
~ in private conversation with MEM
be!s Of his cabinet that neither Admiral
Dewey nor any other American had
made him any such promise.
The report states that Aguinaldo
wished to attack the Americans when
they landed at Paranaque, but was de-
TERED by lack Of arms and ammuni-
ton. From that point on there was a
growing friction between the F'ilipinos
and the American troops.
There was no conference says the
report, between the officers OF the Fill

There was general satisfaction that
the Americans had come at last, and

A SIGNIFICANT EVENT.
Impressive Departure OF the Troop
ship Grant for the Philip
pine Islands.

An unwonted event took place in
New York harbor lately. A great
steamship, belonging to the United
States government, had, been trans
formed into a model troopship, that it
might be used permanently as mill
tary transport. 1t was laden heavily
with soldiers of the regular army, who
were to be carried by it n the Medi-
terranean sea, EN- route to the Philip
pine islands, says Youths Companion
This ship-renamed the Grant-bore,
besides her $500 troops and crew, Gen.
Lawton and a staff of officers. Be
fore she left on her long ocean voy-
age she steamed up, the; North river
TO a point opposite the tomb Of Gen.
Grant. There she fred salute of 21
guns, and her bands slowly and SOL
emnly played the national anthem.
No circumstance of pomp, no empha-
sis of official recognition, were omitted
in the dispatch of this ship. The sec
retary of war stood on her deck when
she fired her farewell guns at the base
Of the great generals tomb. The sol
diers were in uniform as on dress pa
rade, and the huge ship and its crowd
ed decks was an impressive representa-
tive Of national power Not without
similar oaentation is she to steam
over waters once plowed by the gal
leys of Roman and Carthaginian sol
diers, She carries large guns with
which to fire salutes and exact them
in return. Her Significance is not to
escape observation.
Behind her on the great Saxon high
road around the earth follow two more
ships Of like character. the Sherman
and the Sheridan, both model trans-
ports, each bearing, as she does, nearly
1000 American soldiers, and guns te
awaken the echoes Of the Mediterra-
aean and the Red seas.
