Yet even though 1t were not assured that
the record on this issue is clear, 1t might
be important to ask what could have been
the American purpose of such a compact
with Aguinaldo. What could he have done
to further the plans of Admiral Dewey or
the United States government? As mat
ters turned out, he was not of the slightest
importance in the operations against the
Spaniards at Manila He gave no informa-
ton of value, nor advice which was to be
entertained. He was mere supercargo.
Since the destruction of the Spanish fleet
he has been steadily gaining an exagger-
ated notion of his function in that episode
until he has apparently imagined that he
was the chief cause of the American vic
tory 1t is perhaps true even that he feels
today that but for his services the United
States and Spain would be at war, with
the former at serious disadvantage. He
has been shown to be capable of many
forms of mendacity. 1t is absolutely i'm
possible now to accept any statement
whatever emanating from him or from his
representatives.
