HONG KONG, Feb. 22.-The following
statement has been issued by the Fill
Pine junta here: Information which
has leaked through the Pinkertons sent
by President Mckinley to investigate
the shipment of arms to tho Filipinos
show that the first shipment of arms to
.Aguinaldo was made by order of the
American government through Consul
Wildman, hence the shipment per the
Wing Fol. The American government
subsequently, telegraphed to cease
this, coincident with the change
of policy to annexation. Mr.. Wildman
and Rear Admiral Dewey promised to
pay, but have not paid for subsequent
expedition by the Abbey, authorized by
Admiral, Dewey, who afterward seized
the steamer, and is still held. Papers
respecting this are now in the posses.
sion of the secretary of the navy. The
protestations Of Admiral Dewey and
other Americans that they made no
promises are ridiculous. In view of
this let the people judge how the ma

Filipinos and concurred in by them, has
been violated by the recent treachery of
