cruising. the old Argonaut frequently
settled down on oyster beds and, with
the permission Of the owners, procured
all the oysters desired by reaching
down through the sea door. The new
Argonaut can employ this method of
gathering oysters, rising to the sur
face wheA the diving room is full, or
send out divers, who can place the
oysters collected In baskets or recepta-
cles. which those on the surface can
haul up. When bays or rivers are
frozen over and oystermen cannot ply
their trade the Argonauts can 20 un-
der the ice. Fishing can also be carried
on easily on the bottom with nets, for
the fish have no fear OF the object they
evidently consider a whale. and swim
from every direction toward the glare
of the electric lights shining through
the ports, Sponge fishing will engage
the attention Of the first successful
submarine voyagers. Good sponges
are becoming dearer. for the supply in
shallow water is running short The
divers cannot go deeper than twenty
five feet, and the best sponges are
found in deep water. To this deep
water the Argonaut will go, and. gath

the market at price no greater than
that paid for the common varieties.

AouiNALpo.s APPEAL.
He Asks the Powers to Help Him and
| Claims That the Filipinos Captured
the SpAniArds.

the SpAniArds.
Manila, Aug. 9.-Aguinnllo has ap-
pealed to the powers for the recogni-
tion Of "FilipinO Independence" in a
document dated from Ttarlac July 9th
and signed by Buencamino. 1t has
been received by all the foreign con.
suls In Maniln, with the request that
they forward 1t to their respective gov
ernments.
The Fiupinos Use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereign
ty OF these Islands from Spain before
the signing OF the treaty of Paris, and
therefore Spain was In no position to
cede them to the United States. They
argue that the possession OF the 1000
Spanish prisoners. captured with their
arms, hghting against the Filipinos Is
eloquent proof of the nullity of the
Spanish sovereignty. MS when they sur
rendered Spain's hold was irrevocably
lost. The document then says:
"Replying to the Spanish commits
slons request TO release the prisoners
because Spain no longer has political
interests In the islands. we asked for n
treaty of peace and friendship between
Spain and the Filipinos. whereby the
prisoners would he released But the
commissioners refused. because 1t
would mean recognition of our inde-
pcnuencc. This is equivalent To Saying
mat the prisoners must stay in our
hands indefinitely. because their pos
session Is our most ciiicaclous method
10 ADJUST our account with Spain and
obtain from her recognition of indie

Tile Fllipinos claim that they con-
nucred all the country except Manila,
and that they co-opcrated in securing
the lattcrs capitulation by surrounding
1t nt the cost of thousands of lives.
lhcy also claim they conquered the
country unnssistcd. except for sixty
guns that Admiral Dewey gave Aguin-
aldo. and that Admiral Dewey and the
British and Belgian consuls recognized
the Filipino sovereignty by asking for
passes TO visit the country.
They claim that they lave letters
from American consuls and generals
recognizing their sovereignty and
promising that the Americans would
recognize their independence. which
WAS at the disposition of the powers"
