WANTS OUTSIDE AID
Aguinaldo Appeals to Euro.
pean and Asiatic Powers.
NO HOPE OF INTERFERENCE
Aninks 1t Will Assist Him to Political
Preference Under tho American
Administration.

Washington, June president Mo
kinley is aware, through official and
unofficial channels, that Aguinaldo is
begging European and Asiatic powers
to recognize the belligerency of the
Filipinos. He has discussed this with
Secretaries Hay and Hitchcock, the
diplomatic members of his cabinet, and
Secretary Wilson. The president was
advised by Professor Schurman and
General Otis that Aguinaldo has no
substantial hope of foreign interior
ence. but is holding out and talking
about his hope Of recognition in order
to force such terms of surrender as will
assist him to high official preference
under the American administration of
the Philippines.
General Otis cabled last night that
he would require 2,400 troops at the
earliest possible moment. In accord
ance with this cablegram, Colonel
Ward. assistant adjutant-general, will
dispatch from the Presidio at San
Francisco 2,400 recruits, who have
been organized and we'll drilled as COM
panies. Colonel Ward said today that
these troops would be moved this week
or early next week. The president,
in the meanwhile. is selecting from the
regulars at home the remainder of the
5000 reinforcements asked for by Gen.
eral Otis.

Wholley, with the First Washington.
had captured the town the day before,
killing 1913 natives.

TRAITORS TO THE COUNTRY,
Captured Filibuster's Confession Impli
Gates an American Consul.

Captured Fnibuster's Confession Impli-
Gates an American Consul.
New York, June IA special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: Captain Joseph Henry
Grimes has made a complete confession
of the part he took in aiding the Fill
pinos. and the document is in the pos
session of the government. He is
British subject, born in Hong Kong 80
years ago. He was Office manager at
Shanghai for T. s. Etzel & Co., and
there became acquainted with the
agents of the Filipino rebellion.
On June Grimes firm contracted
with Agoncillo to supply 5000 Mauser
Iif1es, two Maxim guns. one million
cartridges, steamer Pasig and provis-
ions. etc., at cost of $138, 900. The
outfit was seized by the British author
tiles at the request of the Spanish con-
sui. Then says Grimes. B. F. Sylves-
ter, a member of his firm, arranged
with Edward Bedlo. American consu ]
at Canton, to send the arms to that
point. The Chinese viceroy was to re-
jecr the arms, but, as IT turned out, he
seized 4.50O and kept them to suppress 9
a rebellion in his own territory.
The local authorities requested per-
mission for the Pasig to sail, she was
transferred from British to American
register by Consul Bedlo, her name
changed to the Abbey. and Bedlo
cleared her and the supplies for the
Filipinos for Singapore. On August
~ the Abbey, flying the American flag
and commanded by Captain g..
Willis. an American citizen, lett
Whampoa, 10 miles from Canton. On
board was Lewis Leonard Etzel, the
American citizen, whose mission it was
to teach the Filpinos how to use the
Maxim guns. Sylvester, Grimes as
serts, falsely told him the facts about
the expedition were known to Admin al
Dewey and Consul-General Wildman.
The cargo was taken to Santagas, 80
miles south of Manila, and turned over
to the insulgent governor of that town.
1t consisted of 496 rifles. 500, 900 car
tridges. two Maxim guns and 1000
rounds of Maxim ammunition. After
discharging their cargo, Grimes went
to Baccor, where he met Aguinaldo,
who said he wanted more ammunition.
Grimes returned to Hong Kong, but
was not successful in his further plans.
Sylvester visited Aguinaldo, but failed
to conclude contract with him to pro-
cure arms in Germany.

ment," Grimes said, 'that both Syl-
vester and Etzel plotted on American
soil against the American govern
ment." The Abbey was seized about
September % last by the American
revenue cutter McCulloch, which was
attached to Admiral Dewey's feet.
Grimes was arrested in Manila on No
VEN her 5. and has suit in the su-
preme court against Aguinaldo, through
his attorneys, Agoncillo and LIE
Chance, for $35, which he alleges is
one-fourth of the profits of the Abbey
expedition to which he is entitled.
