COURTS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Orders of Gen. Otis Establishing Them-Omces of Copyrights, Pat-
 ents and Trade-Marks One.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The orders of Gen. Otis establishing courts in the Philippines have been received by the war department. On June an order was issued in which courts of first in- stances in the province of Manila and the courts of peace in the city of Ma nila, were re-established as they were prior to August 13, 1898, "in so far as compatible with the supremacy of the United States ill the Philippine isl- ands and the exercise of military gov ernment therein"
 The province is divided into districts and the judges, district attorneys and justices of the peace are named. All Of these have Spanish names. The sec retaries of the courts are directed to report to Lieut.-Col. F. H. Crowder, judge advocate of the army in the Philippines.
 An order dated June 26 directed the consolidation of the offices of copy rights, patents and trademarks, ad- ministered as separate bureaus and Capt. J. r. Ahearn, Ninth infantry, is placed in charge.

WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH IT?
state Department Not PnrticuIar what Consuls at Manila Do with
 ASnfnnldO's Communications.

washington, Aug. 9.-The cours which the foreign consuls at Manila VIII pursue in connection with Agui- Haiaos communication is matter of
 ,oihe conjecture among the officials ere' At the state department there ,s no disposition to limit the consuls
 'h forwarding the appeal to their re- |specuVe governments. As rule it is |4u''e unusual for consuls holding ex- |squatuers from a friendly government ana having official relation with it to earry on communication with an in- |eurfectionary leader. But it is appre- |.,a'ed that in this case the consuls are
 ,ne innocent victims of Aguinaldo's better writing.
 AS military authority is supreme in 'he Philippines, any questions arising as 10 the course of the consuls would |p'opably be referred to Gen. Otis, but
 .nere IS no intimation here that he
 ,as been advised of the address or
 mat he will have any objections to its e'ahsmlssion by the consuls. It is
 d,her expected, however, that the con
 uis will take occasion to advise with
 ne military authorities as to the pro-
 p'iety of the situation before taking nnal action.

MUST HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN.
The Real Reason Why China He. fHsed to Allow the Export of
 Horses and Mules.

Washington. Aug. 9.-Some time ago Gen. Otis made requisition on the war department for 2,500 horses to mount the cavalry in the Philippines. He stated in the dispatch that horses from the islands were not satisfactory and that contracts for them in China had failed, the words 'scontraband of war" being added.
 The matter was then referred to the state department for investigation and Minister Conger. on June ,. wrote a letter to Secretary Hay inclosing the correspondence that had passed be- tween the Chinese foreign office and himself relative to the refusal of China to allow the ponies to be exported.
 It appeared from this correspondence that E. s. Dalton had contracted at Tien-Tsin for 75 ponies and % mules, but was refused an export pass. Min ister Conger upon investigation found that the refusal of China was based upon law of China prohibiting the export of horses and ponies. Russia has been refused as well as other coun- tries, and the Chinese foreign office said they could not make an exception in favor of the United States. No sug- gestion is made that the ponies are contraband of war and Gen. Otis must have been misinformed when he sent his dispatch to the war department.

APPEALS ID TIE POWERS.
Apuinaldo Issues an Appeal for Rec ognition of Filipino h.
 dependence.
HE USES THE sIEREoTYpEO ARGUMENTS.
v,t. Forth the Absurd Claim that the FiIipinos Had Conquered spain on the Islands Before the signing of the Treaty of Peace with the United States.

Manila. Aug. 9.-Aguinaldo has ap-
 nealed to the powers for recognition
 of "Filipino independence" in docu-
 ment dated from Tarlac, July 27, and
 sipped by Buencamino. It has been
 received by all the foreign consuls in
 Manila, with the request that they
 forward it to their respective govern
 ments.
 Same old Argument.
 The Filipinos use their old argu-
 ment that they had conquered the
 sovereignty of these islands from
 Spain before the signing of the treaty
 of Paris and, therefore, Spain was in
 no position to cede them to the Unit
 ed States. They argue that the pos
 session of 1000 Spanish prisoners, cap-
 tured, with their arms. fighting
 against the Filipinos, lis eloquent
 proof of the nullity of Spanish sov-
 ereignty, as when they surrendered
 Spains hold was irrevocably lost" Other Arguments.
 The document says:
 Replying to the Spanish commis- sioner's requests to release the prison CTS because Spain no longer has po- litical interests in the islands, we
 asked for treaty of peace and friend ship between Spain and the Filipinos,
 whereby the prisoners would be re- leased. But the commissioners re- fused, because it would mean recogni- ton of our independence. This is equivalent to saying that the prisoners
 must stay in our hands indefinitely, because their possession is our most efficacious method to adjust our ac- count with Spain and obtain from her recognition of our independence" Claim to be Conquerors. The Filipinos claim that they con- quered all the country except Manila, and that they co-operated in securing the latter's equalization by surround ing 1t at the cost of thousands of lives. They also claim they conquered the country unassisted, except for 60 guns that Admiral Dewey gave Aguinaldo, and that Admiral Dewey and the Brit ish and Belgian consuls recognized the Filipino sovereignty by asking for passes to visit the country.
 Alleged American Promises. They repeat the claim that they nave letters from American consuls and generals recognizing their sov- erelgnty, and promising that the Americans would recognize their inde- pedence, which was at the disposition Of the powers"
 The Filipino attempt to make cap- I'ai of the statement that Admiral Dewey had such confidence that Agui- haido would observe and fulfill the ruies of war that he gave him hun urea spanish prisoners which the
 AmerIcan navy had captured. Appeal to the Powers fihally' the Filipinos appeal to the powers to influence Washington to prihg to termination "the unjust war "hlch IS devastating the country"
