WIN Garry to Manila the Very Rest
Soldiers in the Army.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. Maj Gen. Henry
W. Lawton, who commanded a division
of the Fifth Army Corps during the San
tiago campaign. passed through Pittsburg
to-day from Washington on his way TO
Columbus o., where he win make an in
spection of the soldiers in the barracks at
that place.
He win also visit and make a careful in
spection of the physical condition and the
character of the troops now stationed at
the several forts and barracks, prepara-
tory to sailing for Manila. AS to the
reason for taking these precautions and
making a personal inquiry into the condi-
ton of the troops, Gen. Lawton said:
The trip is too long, and too great, for
any others than those in the very best
physical condition.
Gen. Lawton will sail from New York
Jan. Is on the transport steamer Mohawk.
When asked about his trip to the Philip
pines and preparations that would be
made before sailing, the general said:
The first troops to sail for those ISL
ands will be the Fourth Regiment, now
at Fort Sheridan. Chicago, and part of
the Seventeenth, now at Columbus bar
racks. / mean to take none but the very
best soldiers in our army.
This will be the first time in the his
tory of this country that body of soldiers
of the United States has crossed the At
lantic ocean. The whole number assigned
to the islands will not be taken at one
time. The trip will be made through the
Suez canal, and, as we viii stop at a num-
ber of coaling stations and ports, foreign
countries to the East will have a first OPP
portunity of seeing what United States
soldiers look like"
Gen. Lawton administered a scathing
rebuke to the people of this country who
disapproved of the policy of enlarging the
army. He said:
There will be 600 soldiers sent to the
Philippines and that many TO Cuba; and
then, beside, there will have 10 be a
large number sent to Hawaii and Porto
Rico. There is only one thing evident, we
will just have to enlarge the standing

At the present time and for many months
to follow, United States troops will en-
circle the globe. They viii be carrying

AGUINALD0 ANSWERS OTIS.
THE REVOLUTTONARY PRESIDENT
THINKS HE DID IT ALL.

Never Agreed, He Says, to Recognize
the Sovereignty of the Americans
in the IsInnds-Went Back on an
American Boat 20 Whip the Span
iards-His Protest Against Ameri-
can RUIe-Gen. Otis Says the Man
ifestO Is Unimportant.
Manila. Jan. 7.-Within few hours aft
er the proclamation by Mai. Gen. Otis in
behalf of President Mckinley, the agents
of Aguinaldo billed Manila with a mani
festo which attracted considerable atten-
ton.
The revolutionary president protested
against Gen. Otis signing himself military
governor of the Philippine Islands. Agul-
naldo, in his manifesto. declared he had
never agreed at Singapore, Hong Kong, or
elsewhere, to recognize the sovereignty Of
the Americans here and insists that he
returned to the Philippines on an American
ship solely 10 conquer the Spaniards and
win independence.
He asserts that both his proclamations
on May "a and June 12 stated this fact Of
hcially, and he claims that Maj Gen,
Merritt confirmed this by proclamation
several days before the spaniards capit-
ulated, stating clearly and definitely that
the American forces came to overthrow
the Spanish government and liberate the
Fiipinos.
In conclusion Aguinaldo declares that he
had natives and foreigners as witnesses
that the American forces recognized not
only by acts that the FilpnOs were bell
lgerents, but by publicly saluting the Fill
pno flag "as 1t triumphantly sailed these
seas before the eyes of all nations"
Agulnaldo then solemnly protested in the
name Of the Deity who empowered him TO
direct his brethren in the difficult task of
regeneration, against the intrusion of the
American government, and reiterated that
he can produce proofs that he was brought
here on the understanding that the Ameri-
cans promised him their cooperation to
attain independence.
Want Absolute Independence.
The revolutionary leader than called
upon all his followers to work together
with force, and assures them that he is
convinced they will obtain absolute iude-
pendence, and urging them never to re-
turn from the glorious road" on which
they have already so far advanced"
Mai Gen. Otis attaches no Importance tC
the manifesto. He says that he feels con.
fdent that the opinion Of the better class
es of the Filipinos is not expressed in it,
but as to whether the Filipino masses car
be controlled and the Filipino army kept
in check, he does not know, although he
hopes for pacific outcome of the trou.

respondent:

the Spanish general tried to induce the
German consul at Manila and the German
vice consul at Iloilo to take charge of the
protection Of the private interests of the
Spaniards
The two consuls wired to Berlin for
instructions and received the following an
swer: The German empire, being a neu-
tral power, is not in a position to take
charge of functions which could easily be
construed as partially for Spain. All we
endeavor 10 obtain in the Philippines IS
protection and unrestricted movement Of
our commerce Since we see that both
are secured under the United States flag,
we are fully confident that there will new
er arise a situation which could cause us
TO deviate from the strictly neutral atti-
tude observed by US up to this day"
