usual reticence with respect to it's con-
tents. but it is understood that the in

due concern to the administration. So

behalf of President Mckinley. the agents
of Agunaldo publicly billed Manila with
a manifesto which attracted considerable
attention. The revolutionary President
protested against Gen. Otis signing him

Aguinaldo, in this manifesto, declared
he had never agreed, at Singapore. Hong
Kong or elsewhere. to recognize the SOW

sists that he returned to the Phlilppines
on an American warship solely TO con-
quer the Spaniards and win independence.
He asserts that both his PRESENTATIONS

officially, and he claims that MAJ. Gen.
Merritt confirmed this by a proclamation
days before the Spanish capitnlated, stat
ing clearly and definitely that the Ameri-
can forces came to overthrow the SPAN

In conclusion, AguiraldO declares that
