INDEPENDENCE OR NOTHING,
A~guinaldo's Speech at the Tariac Cello
bratiOn.

Agu'na,do's speech at the rariac Cello
bration.
MANILA, July IA copy OF the
independence has reached Manila
containing the speech which Acuin-
do made during the recent celcbra-
ton at Tarlac of the annual anniver-
sary of the proclamation of Filipino
Independence. In substance it is as
follows:
Observation-Disclosures daughter of the
ardent son of the tropics. commended
by Providence to the care Of noble
Spain, be not ungrateful to her salute
who warmed you with the breath Of
her w culture and civilization.
ut is true she sought to crush the
aspiration for Independence. as a low
ing mother opposes separation forever
from the daughter of her bosom.
This but prove the excess of love and
affection Spain feels for the Filipino.
delicate flower of the east, scarcely
eight months weaned from the breast
of thy mother, thou hast dared to
bravo a great and powerful nation
such as is the United States, after
barely organizing and disciplining
thy little army. Yet we reply we will
be slaves to none nor allow ourselves
to be deceived by soft words. Let us
continue to defend our fatherland un-
til independence is assured, for this is
justice. We shall see at last that the
great American nation will acknowl-
edge the right which is on our side.
THAT doctrine of the great Monroe,
that America is for the Americans, is
not forgotten. just so we affirm that
the Philippines are for the F%ilipinos.
Some states of the American union
have arisen in our favor. Especially
is the Democratic party convinced
that both victors and vanquished will
lose precious lives.
Thus many of the people and
many statesmen censure President
Mckinley as inhuman for having or
dered his military representatives at
Manila to seek means to bring about
hostilities with the F~ilipinos. These
facts prove that they wished to try us
to see If we were able to live up
to the second color of our banner,
which signifies courage, heroism and
martyrdom. Therefore, we should not
resent this struggle with the Ameri-
cans. In spite of this expressed de-
sire to dominate the Philippines, we'll
convinced are they that we fight with
justice and right on our side; and that
autonomy is all a show of deceit, only
hoping to save a certain accumulated
wealth. We have never concealed our
aspirations, that we aspire but to in.
dependence, that we will struggle on
to obtain it, perhaps from those who
are now u enemies and o-morrow
will be our allies, as they were for
the overthrow Of the power of Spain

THEY WANT SKATER TO STAY,


An Attempt to Induce Congress to Keep
the General on tho Active List.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July ID
Major General Shafter will have
reached the age limit in about three
months and it is said his friends are
working quietly but theoretically to
secure his retention in the service a
few years longer by act of Congress.
The friends of General Shafter argue
that since the Department Of the
Pacific has become SO important by
reason of the acquisition of the Phil
ippines it is inadvisable to make a
change in its commander just at this
time. 1t is rumored that Brigadier
General Merriam, at present in COM
mand of the Department of the Column
bia will succeed Shafter in the event
of his retirement.
