AN APPEAL BY AGUINALDO
ASKS POWERS FOR RECOGNITION
OF FILIPINO IYDEP EVIDENCE.
Claims Set Forth In a Document sent 10
the Foreign Consuls at Manila-Ihc
Span sh PrtsOMerss
Spanish Prisoners.

Manila. Aug. S.--4:50 p. m.-Agulnaldo
| has appealed to the powers for recognl-
ton of "Filipino independence, IN a
| document dated from Tarlac, July ~
and signed by Buencamino, 1t has peen
| received by all the foreign consula IN
Manila, with the request that they for
ward it to their respective governments.
The Filpinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereignty
of the islands from Spain before the
signing of the treaty at Paris, and
therefore, Spain was in no position to
cede them to the United States. They
argue that the possession of 1000 Span
ish prisoners, captured, with their arms,
fighting against the Filipinos, is elo-
quent proof of the nullity of Spanish
sovereignty, as when they surrendered
Spain's hold was irrevocaby lost" The
document says:
Replying to the Spanish commissions
requests to release the prisoners, because
Spain no longer has political interests in
the islands, we asked for a treaty of
peace and friendship between Spain and
the Filinipos, whereby the prisoners
would be released but the commission
ers refused because it would mean rec
ignition of our independence This is
equivalent to saying that the prisoners
must stay In our hands indefinitely, be-
cause their possession Is our, most effica-
cious method to adjust our account with
Spain, and obtain from her recognition
Of our independence.
The Filipnos claim that they have
conquered all the country except Manila,
and that they co-operated in securing
the latter's capitula ton by surrounding
1T, at the cost of thousands of lives.
They also claim that they conquered the
country unassisted, except for sixty
guns that Admiral Dewey gave Agui-
naldo, and that Admiral Dewey and
the British and Belgian consuls recog-
nized the Filipinos' sovereignty by ask
ing for passes to visit the country. They
repeat the claim that they have letters
from American consuls and generals
recognizing their sovereignty and prom
Using that the Americans would reeog-
njze their independence. (which was at
the disposition Of the powers
The Filipinos assert that Admiral
Dewey had such confidence that Agui-
naldo would observe and fulfil the rules
Of war that he gave him a hundred
Spanish prisoners which the American
navy had captured. Finally they appeal
to the powers to influence Washington
to bring to termination 1.-The unjust
war whichas devastating the country"
The authorities at Madrid have order
ed the Spanish commissioners not to re-
turn to Tarlac, and it is reported that
two special commissioners Senores Cap
tiles and Cuerbo are on their way here
from Spain to conduct the negotiations
