hence they are sustaining General Otis,
who, as d Catholic, has refused to obey
the Washington orders and transfer the
command OF his force to General Lawton,
because he wishes TO remain in power and

EFFORTS FOR SPANISH CAPTIVES
Relief Expedition ThwRrted by Anti
AguinaldO FiiipInOs


Manila, April 4.-4:45 p. m.-The commit
tee Of Spaniards. under the leadership
of Senior Antonio Fuset, president of the
Spanish club, has had little success with
the expedition offered to deliver money
and stores to the Spanish prisoners. The
members Of the expedition were ohligd TO
give the goods to the Filipino offictrs at
aBtangas. The boat had a letter from
Aguinaldo directing the Filipino officials
TO aid the mission, but General Trias, COM
handing the Filipino forces in the south
ern provinces, and his subordinates. de-
clined TO recognize Aguinaldo's authority.
The Spaniards refused to accept the in
vitations to land, having been warned
that they would be held for ransom. Ma
jor Raffel Morales, the former Spanish
governor of the Island of Mindoro, was
brought on board the ship for an inter
view. He was so weak that he tainted,
and at parting he said: Il shall never see
you again" The Fllipinas thought the
Red Cross flag was the American flag.
A committee whose members are of all
the nationalities in Manila headed by
John Mcleod. an Engishman, has been
organized for the purpose of interviewing
the Filipino leaders and petitioning for the
release of the prisoners in the name of
humanity.
