SAYS WAR WILL GO ON.
Leader of Filipino Junta in Madrid
Talks of tho War.

Madrid, Nov. 2.-Senor Tomas Are
jola, president Of the Madrid Filipino
committee, says: although our COM
mittee has no official character, it is on
the best of terms with Aguinaldo and
the other members of the Philippine
government. We are persons chosen by
the Philippine residents of Madrid to
represent and defend the interests of
the republic until an official consul
shall be appointed.
Our main effort now is directed
toward relieving the Spanish prisoners
of communication between the prison
ers and their families.
The war will go on; there is no
doubt on that point. We shall obtain
an unequivocal victory, and the Amer
leans will end by evacuating the
islands whether they want to or not.
we hope they will go of their own ac-
cord Immediately after the next presi-
Dental election. The reelection of
President Mckinley, OF course, would
not change the situation. In that case
we shall continue the struggle, our cry
being always independence or death!'
1--WE have now $4,000 soldiers and we
can raise 5UU,VUU Wflen necessary. we
shall make no compromise with the
United States. We are fighting for the
integrity of our country, for indepen-
dence, and in the final settlement
America will not obtain any one of the
islands-not even one.
I'VE have all the ammunition we
want and an excess of it. We often
force the Americans to fire great deal,
so that after the combat our soldiers
can take the empty shells and reload
them.
I'VE have few foreign officers in
our ranks. Our men have plenty OF
food The government has issued a
decree making general the cultivation
of rice, hitherto limited to certain dis
tricts We have resources in the chase
and in fishing, besides fruits in unlim-
tied quantity.
1T is untrue that there are divisions
in the Filipino camp. Aguinaldo is Still
respected and is extremely popular. 1t
is true that certain number of Fill
pinos resident of Manila are outward
~ favorable to the Americans, for fear
their interests may suffer. but they are
called traitors by the rest of the nation
and the Americans themselves shun
them -

When first given the endowment was
conditioned upon DR.. Herron's holding

looked as though she would consent,
but when it came to drawing up the

become 50 bitter and in many cases 50
unreasonable that she refused. 1t is
