Aguinaldo concludes with saying:
BE not discouraged. Our indcpcn-
dence was watcrcd freely BY the blood
OF martyrs, and more will be shed in
the future to strengthen it, Rcmcm-
bcr that efforts are not to be wasted
that ends may be gained. 1t is indis-
pensable to adjust our actions to the
rules of law and right and to learn to
triumph over our enemies

are many indications that Manila is
full Of dcsrcradocs who had intended
to cooperate with Aguinaldo. The
police are continually capturing men
and women with weapons concealed in
their clothing. The vigilance Of the
authorities in this respect is highly

The rebels, who have been swept in

died by hundreds in the trenches for

The rebel prisoners declare that the

WHAT THEY SAY.
I."Nn'>, Feb. .. The president Of
the European Filipino junta in an i'll
tcrvlcw with Il representative Of the
Associated Press to-day, said: III is

MAYBE 1T WAS DEWEYS $ ACT.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt may be
that it was Admiral Dewey's act in
seizing vessel loaded with arms for
them that inticed the Philippine in
surgents to attack the American SOL
diers Saturday night, for it is under
stood that one of the bitterest of their
grievances was what they declared the
unwarrantablc interference with their
shipping. 1t is learned at the navy
department that about week ago the
admiral caused the seizure of the
schooner Teneng, with full supply
of such arms for the insurgents. The
admiral report discloses the fact that
an American and not German owned
the vessel thus used to arm the insur-
gents against Otis troops.
