CONSUL PRATT's TELEGRAMS.
April 2S, Consul Pratt telegraphed from
Singapore: "Agunaldo gone, my instance
Hong Kong, arrange with Dewey co-opera-
ton insurgents, Manila"
June 30, Sec Day telegraphed Pratt,
among other things: avoid any negotia-
/ tions with Philippine insurgents" Pratt
replied that he had no intention of me-
gotiating. Says he: Left that Dewey,
who desires Aguinaldo come" Sec. Day
again admolished Pratt to be cautious to
create no impression that might embarra IS
the government and lead to msunder-
standing in its future action
July 2, Pratt reported to the department
that the Sultan of the Sulu Islands was
negotiating at Singapore for the annexa-
ton of his group to British Borneo, which
he said should be watched.
MERRITT's OPINION.
All of the statements made by Gen. Mer-
rift before the American commission at
Paris appears in the document In sub
stance he said the insurgents would fight
If the attempt was made to surrender
Luzon to Spain; Spain could not produce
| the islands unaidod. Asked whether the
insurgents were capable of government
he replied that it would take time; they
would have to be educated UP to it. Sen.
Frye asked If the natives would enlist UNI
der the American flag and if Aguinaldo
could be given a command. He replied in
the affirmative to both questions.
Further. he said that Maj Bells report
| showed that the insurgents had 80, 80,
stands of arms Aguinaldo had $4,000 in
bank in Hong Kong and 1920, 900 of public
funds in Bacoor. Maj Bell expressed the
opinion that if the United States should
/ govern the islands for a year Aguinaldc
would have no army left.
GREENE's VIEWS.
Gen. Greene's statement is also pro.
duced. lie said there were 1900 Spanish
prisoners in the Philippines, including 4Ot
officers, with 1900 arms and 22,o1oO OK
rounds of ammunition. He described
Aguinaldo's character, and said mnch tact
would be required in dealing with him.
! In his opinion that chieftain did MOI
command the support of Il large body Of
tflipnos. Then it must be remembered
that the insurgents were all Tagalo5
only one of the thirty races in the Philip
pines. At the time he spoke none Of tn,
2OOo,O0 Visayas, people of equal abilities
had taken any part. He was asked wha
chance there would be for native govern
ment, to which he replied
mo native government can maintain it
self without the active support of stronl
foreign government. 1t Is difficult to SCI
how any foreign government can give thi
protection without taking such an actv
part in the management of affairs as /
prac ticaby equivalent to its own name"
